Chelation Therapy

Chelation therapy is an intravenous nutritional and detoxification therapy. Many people who have received chelation report improvement in circulation to the heart, brain, extremities, and any other tissue that may have decreased blood circulation, and improvement in the function of diseased tissue.

The term chelation comes from the word "chelate" which means to claw, bind or grab. In the 1950's, chelation was used to treat heavy metal toxicity, such as aluminum and lead. It was observed that patients with circulatory disorders had improved cardiovascular function. It was proposed that chelation assists in the removal of calcium deposits in the plaque the blocks arteries to the heart, brain, and extremities, and began to be used for treating circulatory disorders.

Types of Chelation Therapy:

· DMPS

· DMSA

· EDTA

Chelation therapy can be administered orally or intravenously. Over time, physicians who understood the importance of nutrition in health began to add nutrients to the infusions. Chelation has developed into an intravenous detoxification and nutritional therapy. The nutrients included are vitamins, electrolytes, minerals, anti-oxidants, and amino acids.
