Research
Dr. Petteruti has also authored published research on lead detoxification using chelation therapy and coronary calcium score optimization, contributing to the broader conversation on proactive, preventive medicine.
Lead Levels Reduced
By Intermittent Calcium
Chronic exposure to and the accumulation of lead has been associated with cardiovascular and all-cause morbidity and mortality. It has also been associated with accelerated declines in cognitive function and has been theorized as a contributor to essential hypertension.
This study demonstrates the capacity of intermittent infusions of calcium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) to reduce theamount of lead measured by provocative urinary testing, which is considered a marker for total body lead stores. Since lead is a known toxic substance with no safe levels, reducing the amount of accumulated lead in an individual has the possibility of decreasing the risk of heart disease, dementia, and other chronic illnesses associated with lead exposure.
Reduction of Calcium Scores Using
Intravenous Chelation: A Retrospective
Pilot Study
This pilot study presents a retrospective analysis of 10 asymptomatic patients with a positive calcium score who received a series of intravenous calcium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) chelations.
Current standards for cardiovascular risk stratification include assessments of cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, lifestyle, obesity, and family history. Despite addressing traditional risk factors, myocardial infarctions and cerebrovascular accidents remain the leading causes of death and disability worldwide...
A Holistic Provider of Medicine
Dr. Stephen Petteruti is a second generation family physician with more than 25 years of clinical experience. He completed his undergraduate studies at Tufts University and earned his medical degree from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. He completed his residency at Martin Army Hospital at Fort Benning. He trained in Osteopathic Medicine with the goal of practicing medicine that treats the whole patient, not isolated symptoms.
After graduating with honors, he became attracted to weight loss medicine, which began a career-long interest in areas not commonly pursued by most doctors. It’s that curiosity that drove him to become board certified in Bariatric Medicine to complement his board certification in Family Medicine. It is this unique training combined with his own native intellect that has given Dr. Petteruti the ability to help his patients with problems that most physicians do not fully understand.
"Too often in medicine” says Dr. Stephen Petteruti, “we are left pursuing well-worn pathways and if the patient’s condition doesn’t comfortably fit into that pathway, we feel incapable of helping them. The patients tell us what they need and what they need is to feel better, live longer, and live better. That’s the passion that drives my practice."
In 2014, Dr. Petteruti completed his fellowship in Anti-Aging, Metabolic, and Functional Medicine through A4M. The fellowship is derived from the root causes of chronic diseases that affect patients every day, offering a comprehensive and holistic approach for treating the patients—not solely the symptoms. Dr. Petteruti has been pursuing that passion for more than 30 years, bringing a hard-to-find combination of empathy, intellect, clinical and didactic experience to help change the lives of his patients. His approach is holistic, comprehensive, complete, and driven to pursue the solutions to the most difficult of problems.
