CHELATION THERAPY

Chelation Therapy

Chelation Therapy is a safe, non-surgical treatment used to rid the body of excess toxins, particularly metals. Chelation draws out toxic metals and other harmful substances that impair body function, and help the body eliminate these toxins via the kidneys.

Chelation Therapy is used to treat a variety of health problems. First, chelation agents are used to bind with heavy metals such as cadmium, lead, and mercury substances that enter the body through food, water, and other means and excrete these metals from the body. As certain minerals accumulate in the body, they interact with other minerals, promoting the actions of some and inhibiting the actions of others. Lead, for instance, has been shown to inhibit the actions of calcium, iron, and potassium, all of which are important nutrients. When chelation agents are used to eliminate toxic metals such as lead from the body, essential nutrients are better able to do their job.

Chelation Therapy is also used in the treatment of atherosclerosis and other circulatory disorders, as well as in the treatment of gangrene, which often is the result of poor circulation. In atherosclerosis, deposits of cholesterol, fats, and other substances collect on the walls of large and medium sized arteries in the form of hard plaque. It has been found that calcium acts as the glue that holds the atherosclerotic plaque together. Chelation agents bind with this calcium and carry it out of the body, breaking up the plaque deposits, unclogging the arteries, and permitting more normal blood flow.

 Intravenous Chelation Therapy

Intravenous Chelation Therapy is often used to remove calcified hardened plaque from the arterial walls, improving circulation. When used under the care of a physician, this procedure can be a possible alternative to vascular surgery. This therapy is also used to remove heavy metals such as lead from the body. Most serious illnesses require repeated injections of the agents.

The most common chelating agent now used in intravenous therapy is Ethylenediaminetetracetic Acid (EDT A). A strong substance, EDT A attracts lead, strontium, and many other metals, as well as calcium. Although there is controversy surrounding the use of this agent, it has not been found to be toxic when used correctly.
