Chelation Therapy
Chelation therapy is important for all of us! Everyone is intoxicated to some degree with heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic and aluminum. These toxins have been shown to damage enzyme systems and contribute to disease such as cancer, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, chronic fatigue, autoimmune disease, osteoporosis.
What is it?
We employ Chelation Therapy to remove toxic metals from the body. This results in improvement of enzyme function as these poisons inhibit the normal biochemical processes. In addition to removing toxic, heavy metals from the body, experiments done at our medical center with a USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) scientist have shown that the magnesium that is
included in our chelation solution is retained in the body at a much higher percent than expected. We presume that the improvements we see in patients’ cardiovascular and other symptoms are a result of the dual effect of removing toxic metals and delivering magnesium to the cells.
Intracellular magnesium deficiency is thought to be one of the ultimate biochemical lesions underlying degenerative diseases. We also use Chelation therapy as a treatment aimed at reducing calcium deposits in the arteries and other parts of the body; it also has the ability to reverse the damaging effects of free radicals on the body.
The treatment involves injecting small amounts of the synthetic amino acid disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) into the bloodstream. This amino acid has the unique property of being powerfully attracted to ionic calcium as well as toxic heavy metals like lead. When EDTA comes in contact with metals in the body, it binds to it. The EDTA-Metal complex is then excreted both through the kidneys and into the urine and through the liver into the intestinal tract and out of the body. The binding property of EDTA provides
the basis for chelation therapy.
The word “chelate” is derived from the Greek work “chele” which refers to the clasping claw, implying the “pincer like” binding of certain chemical substances to a bivalent metal or other mineral.
What is it for and how does it work?
The primary health problem affecting the arteries is arteriosclerosis. An artery is comprised of three basic layers: an inner layer known as the intima, a middle layer called the media, and an outer layer known as the adventitia. In some cases of arteriosclerosis yellowish plaques, called atheromas, develop within the intima and medial layers of the larger arteries. These plaques contain cholesterol, fatty materials, proteins and minerals. Another form of arteriosclerosis occurs when deposits of calcium develop within the media of the larger arteries. Chelation therapy works by attacking the calcium deposits in the arteries. Calcium exists in the body in many forms. Calcium in the bones and teeth is firmly bound to protein and other molecules and is not easily removed by chelation. Calcium in the blood may be bound in part by protein or in a readily available ionic form. This ionic level of calcium is rigidly controlled by the parathyroid gland. Chelation works by removing calcium from the blood serum. Calcium is pulled out of other areas of the body to maintain balanced ionic level. The most accessible form of calcium is in those areas where it has been abnormally deposited, like the
inner walls of the arteries, and around tendons, joints and ligaments. These forms are referred to as “metastatic” calcium deposits and consist largely of ionic calcium similar to that found in the blood. Thus, abnormal areas of calcification can gradually be reduced over a period of time. Arteries as they become free of calcium deposits increase in flexibility and unclog enabling better and more efficient circulation. The benefits of this are substantial to your overall health.

Detoxification – Chelation Therapy
watch the Toxic Metals and Chelation Video to learn more.
If you are interested in Chelation Therapy as a means of detoxification, there are several forms, some oral, some intravenous.
To determine what Chelation is right for you, you will need to come in for an initial consultation and proper testing Please see the Patient Flow ~ What to Expect and FREE Evaluation pages to learn about becoming a patient.
