Chelation therapy is widely used for the treatment of atherosclerosis and other chronic degenerative diseases involving the circulatory system. Chelation Therapy is the application of chelating agents, a man-made amino acid called EDTA, to remove heavy metals such as arsenic and mercury from the body. Humans require varying amounts of “heavy metals”, iron, copper, manganese, zinc but excessive levels can be damaging. The accumulation of these metals in a human over time can cause illness and functional disease. These pollutants can be found in the food we eat every day. Arsenic, a cancer causing agent, is added to chicken by farmers through a government approved food additive in poultry feed. Compounded exposure to arsenic can lead to life threatening diseases including heart disease, diabetes, and mental dysfunction.
Benefits of Chelation Therapy
- Reduces free radical activity in the blood
- Repairs damaged muscles
- Improves cell energy production
- Normalizes abnormal cholesterol and HDL levels
How Does Chelation Therapy Work?
A solution of minerals, vitamins, and the chelating agent EDTA, a substance that pulls heavy metals out of the body, is delivered through the vein. These agents travel through the bloodstream “grabbing” metals, minerals and other pollutants, binding them, removing them from the bloodstream and delivering them to the kidneys, which is then excreted through the urine.
