11/21/2008: D replies, "Two links:
http://www.google.com/products q=Disodium+EDTA&btnG=Search+Products&hl=en&show=dd
In the second link there is mostly calcium disodium EDTA and I don't know if it is right. The magnesium EDTA doesn't look food grade. I asked one seller of Disodium EDTA (no calcium no magnesium but just disodium) and he told me that the one he sells is "technical grade" maybe it is all right anyway. Ted should know. Thank you so much! This substance is precious I wish it were easier to find."
11/22/2008: Ted replies, "Yes. Either disodium EDTA or magnesium EDTA would be fine.
Disodium EDTA is available at technical grade, reagent grade, analytical grade, laboratory grade, USP grade, Personally most of the issue of contamination is due to heavy metals, which is why different grades are used. However since EDTA chelates out metals, the description of different grades is not a major issue anyway. So in practice I don't really worry about the grade. I often buy food grade, but it is not available I may buy other grades. Right now I am presently investigating the use of 0.1% concentration methylene blue (often sold in aquarium shops for fishes) for CFS and hypothyroidism. Fungus seems to be the initiating factor and this is an antifungal remedy. It's safety can be seen by the fact that this methylene blue 0.1% concentration taken at 3 drops 3 or 4 times a day have normalized one person with CFS and hypothyroidism, from past exposure of fungus as the cause. To test its safetiness, the remedy is used against malaria and Parkinson's disease. In fact it is one of the very few supplements out there, besides carnosine, that exceeds the Hayflick limit, which is like a sound barrier that no one can live beyond this age. It's an antiaging medicine, and this fact is reflected in the patent here - although I used this for tuberculosis, skin infections, and to reduce chronic fatigue and weight loss (along with taurine):
