Chelation Therapy |
Chelation Therapy: Chelation therapy is the administration of chelating agents to remove heavy metals from the body. Calcium-disodium EDTA and DMPS are approved for the removal of heavy metals by the Food and Drug Administration. These drugs bind to heavy metals in the body and prevent them from binding to other agents. They are then excreted from the body. The chelating process also removes vital nutrients such as vitamins C and E, therefore these must be supplemented. Administering Chelation: Chelation is administered intravenously, a process that takes 1–3 hours. The number of treatments required is determined through testing. History: Chelation therapy was used by the British after World War II to remove arsenic, lead, and other metals. Patients' conditions improved as these metals were removed from their bodies. |
