Chelation Therapy

What is Chelation Therapy?

When metals like lead, mercury, iron, and arsenic build up in your body, they can be toxic. Chelation therapy is a treatment that uses medicine to remove these metals so they don't make you sick. It may help with heart disease, autism, and Alzheimer's disease.

It involves infusing a type of medication called chelator or chelating agent. These molecules work by binding to metals in the bloodstream, the nervous system & other tissues.

Once circulating through the body, they bind metals in many tissues. Chelators collect all the heavy metals into a compound that's filtered through the kidneys and released in the urine.

Benefits of Chelation Therapy

Toxic metals and chemicals such as mercury, lead, arsenic, and aluminum are prevalent in the water we drink and the food that we eat. They can be introduced into our bodies from multiple sources, such as mercury amalgam fillings, dust in the air, and pesticides.

By “chelating” these heavy metals from your body, you may decrease your risk of developing many forms of chronic diseases that are linked to these toxic burdens, such as cancer, arthralgias, chronic fatigue, and neurological disorders.

High levels of these toxins can damage the lungs, kidneys, vascular system, liver, and central nervous system as well as reduce your overall energy level and nervous functioning.
