What is Chelation Therapy?
Our bodies contain a small level of heavy metals. However, some of us may become more exposed to heavy metals such as lead, mercury and arsenic, leading to heavy metal poisoning. This can happen especially to those exposed to areas with high level of air and water pollution, eating seafood caught in area with high level of mercury; or those exposed to old lead paint. Chelation therapy is a treatment that uses a special substance to remove these metals so that the toxicity is removed from your body.
How It Works
This treatment is based on the process of chelation, which involves intravenous administration of a potent antioxidant called ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). Once EDTA gains entry into the bloodstream, it binds with heavy metals like lead, cadmium and iron that can cause free radical damage to the arteries. By adhering to these metals and transporting them out of the body through the urine, EDTA decreases the body’s toxic metal load and delays the side effects such as atherosclerosis. During the course of the therapy, which takes 1-3 hours, you will relax in a recliner while EDTA is administered slowly through an IV. An entire course of chelation therapy involves as much as 30 treatments, generally done 1 to 3 times per week.

FAQ
Q1: Is Chelation Therapy FDA-Approved?
A1: The FDA has approved 11 chelating agents, including EDTA and DMSA, to treat heavy metal toxicities. Currently, chelation therapy is not approved by the FDA to treat other diseases, despite scientific research that supports its use in a variety of diseases.
Q2: Is Chelation Therapy an alternative to coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) and other conventional treatments?
A2: There is evidence that shows cardiovascular patients treated with EDTA chelation therapy have a lower rate of subsequent cardiac events, including myocardial infarction and death, than those treated with cardiac medications, PTCA, or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Data also suggests that chelation therapy might be effective in preventing blood clots and cardiac events from stents by reducing hypercoagulability.
