The Chelation process is based upon the use of a water soluble molecule which can essentially wrap itself around a heavy metal molecule that isn’t water soluble. These heavy metals get trapped inside the body because they cannot pass through the mucous membranes of the kidneys, liver, GI tract, lungs or skin.

The word "CHELE" is Latin for the claw of a crab, and the Chelation process is essentially as if a "Crab claw" wraps itself around a heavy metal molecule, and then gives it free passage out of the body. Safe Chelation should only be entrusted to physicians who have received special training.

• Chelation therapy is a highly effective treatment for clearing toxic heavy metals from the body. Although EDTA (ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid), an intravenous chelating agent, was first used to treat lead poisoning, it has since proven to be invaluable for the treatment of heart disease and other conditions involving poor circulation. Along with EDTA, we use additional chelating agents to treat patients.
• When EDTA is infused into the bloodstream, it latches onto harmful heavy metals such as lead, iron, and cadmium and carries them out of the body through the urine. By reducing the body's toxic metal and free radical burden, EDTA improves the health of the arteries and slows the process of atherosclerosis. As an added benefit, it has blood-thinning effects and discourages the formation of potentially dangerous blood clots that can cause a heart attack or stroke.
• Another heavy metal of particular concern in today's world is mercury. Mercury is a neurotoxin that also damages the kidneys, red blood cells, and immune cells. It is especially harmful for fetuses and children, and exposure can cause developmental delays and neurological impairment. However, mercury is also linked with a broad range of symptoms in people of all ages.
• By safely removing mercury, lead, and other toxins, you can take a giant step toward symptom improvement and better health.

Chelation is like a general tune up of the body. Contrary to what the over-enthusiastic purports, chelation does not “cure” old age symptoms. However, it does help by giving the body a chance to rejuvenate.

To summarize, chelation therapy:

• Removes toxic metals from the body, such as lead and mercury,
• Chelates and removes calcium
• Causes vasodilation,
• Inhibits platelet aggregation and other coagulation pathways,
• Improves circulation, and help improve collateral circulation,
• Makes arteries more elastic,
• Nourishes the cells with different vitamins and nutrients contained in the chelation solution,
• Thins the blood to enable better circulation, and reduces free radical damage with its antioxidant effect.

Chelation therapy is generally safer than surgery, less expensive, and more rational approach since it promotes the health of the entire circulatory system whereas surgery is limited to a small segment of the arterial system.

• Cardiovascular disease (heart disease)
• Cerebrovascular disease (heart disease)
• Chronic fatigue
• Developmental delays in children
• Diabetic ulcers and other complications
• Heavy metal toxicity
• High blood pressure
• Intermittent claudication
• Memory and mood disorders
• Neurological problems
• Peripheral neuropathy
• Peripheral vascular disease
• Slow-healing wounds

Alternative medicine uses chelation therapy as non-standard treatment for some ailments, most notably heart and blood circulatory disease, as well as Autism. Currently there is a US National Institute Health Trial (TACT) being conducted on chelation therapy’s efficacy in treating heart disease.

There are many successful treatment stories of  patients with arteriosclerosis and rare metal contaminations, who received EDTA chelation treatment.

The body actually has need for approximately 70 friendly trace element heavy metals, but there are another 12 poisonous heavy metals, such as Lead, Mercury, Aluminium, Arsenic, Cadmium, Nickel, etc., that act as poisonous interference to the enzyme systems and metabolism of the body. No matter how many good health supplements or procedures one partakes in, heavy metal overload will be a detriment to the natural healing functions of the body.

Heavy metal overload in the walls of coronary arteries seems to decrease levels of Nitric Oxide a compound known as "Endothelial Relaxing Factor," and without this substance normal blood flow is impeded, increasing the risk of Vascular blockages.

Heavy Metal Overload in the Adrenal Glands reduce the production of Hormones, which cause early aging, stress, decreased sex drive and aggravation of menopausal Symptoms.

Heavy Metal Overload can lead to unresponsiveness of Diabetics to their medications.

Heavy Metal Overload can lead to Neurological Diseases such as Depression and loss of thinking power. It can also aggravate conditions such as Osteoporosis and Hypothyroidism.

Mercury is a highly toxic heavy metal that presents a serious concern for our health. Combined exposure from environmental sources, some species of fish, and amalgam fillings has driven up the body burden of mercury to dangerous levels in some individuals. Many times, high levels of mercury can correlate with symptoms of depression, anxiety, memory loss, chronic fatigue, and other signs and symptoms of toxicity. Chelation treatment involves the use of chelating agents to safely remove mercury from the body and reduce or stop symptoms caused by high mercury levels.
