Chelation Therapy

What is Chelation Therapy?

Chelation therapy is an intravenous therapy that helps remove heavy metals from the body. Heavy metals are implicated in several disease processes. Chelation therapy is a standard treatment in conventional medicine in cases of poisoning. Alternative practitioners have found that chelation therapy has many other clinical uses as well.

When Should I Consider Using Chelation Therapy?

Chelation therapy is used to help prevent, reverse or treat the following conditions:
  • Hemochromatosis
  • Free radical damage
  • Arteriosclerosis
  • Dementia
  • Heart Attacks
  • Strokes
  • Cancer
  • Myelodysplastic Syndrome
  • Anemias
  • Thalassemia

How Does Chelation Therapy Work?

The ingredients in the chelation solution bind with harmful heavy metals in the body. They are flushed out, preventing or reversing the damages, which heavy metals can cause in the body.

Chelating agents also bind with free radicals. Free radicals are what precipitate aging throughout the body. Sludge-like deposits build up in the body and prevent proper functioning of systems of the body. Blood vessels harden and become clogged. Other cells are unable to function properly. The entire body works less and less efficiently.

The chelating agent used for chelation therapy is an amino acid. Amino acids are natural building blocks, which form protein. The amino acid called EDTA flushes toxins out of tissues where they are simply eliminated via the urinary system.

How is Chelation Therapy Performed?

Your health care provider infuses the EDTA solution via a standard intravenous infusion.

Chelation therapy has been thoroughly researched. It is the standard of treatment in certain situations for both conventional and alternative medicine. People dependent upon blood transfusions who have certain conditions such as sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, and severe heart disease sometimes need chelation therapy.

Chelation therapy may enhance longevity and improve organ function throughout the body. Chelation therapy may be especially beneficial to the health and function of the liver, heart, and circulation of the body. Since proper blood vessel functioning is essential to the health of every cell and system the body, as well the performance of every vital function; chelation therapy may help optimize the well-being of the entire body.
