Chelation Therapy

Metals can build up within your body, and become toxic. These contaminants can be found in our environment, not only due to industrial activity, but even in common products. Paint, seafood, apple juice, and contaminated water or soil are only a few examples. Tobacco and vaping e-cigarettes also exposes your body to metal contaminants.

Benefits of Chelation Therapy

The government allows low-level metal contamination in products. However, even low levels of exposure have been found to strongly correlate with cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, kidney issues, and even heart attacks - especially in patients with diabetes. Chelation was created to help your body flush these metals out of your system, so they can’t make you sick.

Chelators (magnetic molecules) are infused intravenously, bind to and transport any metals found in your bloodstream, to allow for the body to excrete these metals through urination. Recent research has found that chelation can be especially effective for diabetic patients with heart disease.

In fact, studies show that chelation therapy in combination with high-dose vitamins and minerals significantly reduced the occurrence of cardiac events compared to the placebo. Recent theories introduce the possibility that the chelator molecule (EDTA) functions as an antioxidant, clearing free radicals from your system that can harm blood vessels and allow plaque build-up.
