IV Chelation & Nutritional Therapy

What is Chelation Therapy?

Chelation is the process by which chemicals bind with minerals. This is a common occurrence, and nature uses it frequently. Hemoglobin is the best example: it binds with iron to provide oxygen to the tissues. Plants use chlorophyll in much the same way. Many vitamins have chelating properties, including Vitamin C and A.

The primary Chelation agent used today is EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid). This is also commonly used as a food agent. If you read the labels on food packages you will often see it listed. In medicine, EDTA is administered intravenously and is used for a wide variety of problems. The most common condition that Chelation is used for today by mainstream allopathic physicians is arteriosclerosis, or blockage of the blood vessels. However, Green Body & Mind Environmentalists are increasingly aware of the fact that heavy / toxic metal poisoning poses a plethora of serious health risks and for that reason chelation therapy is becoming practiced more and more for the removal of those metals.

How many Chelation treatments will I need?

Typically 20-40 treatments are prescribed, however, I have been specializing in Environmental Detoxification of all toxic assaults with a strong focus on chelation and over the years I have developed a proven formula that is typically successful at bringing the person to non-detectable levels of Mercury, Aluminum, Cadmium (if they stop smoking) and Lead in just 10 sessions. This is a tremendous relief on the client both financially and time wise. We also provide private care sessions so the process can be carried out in the comfort of your own home with a Registered Nurse.

Below are some of the signs and symptoms of Toxic Metal Poisoning:

Problems Mercury can cause
Mercury disrupts and disables to varying degrees fundamental metabolic processes causing a variety of problems. Different people will experience a different progression of symptoms, depending on their individual biochemistry. Following is a list of some of the conditions mercury is directly linked to and have been successfully resolved or dramatically reduced as a result of chelation. If the damage was serious, full resolution of the condition would not be achieved until repair of the damaged tissues and organs is completed – this we call Orthomolecular Biochemical Restoration and you can read more about that at www.biosanctuary.com.

Some of the Benefits of
Chelation Therapy:

What are other benefits of Chelation Therapy?

Chelation has many other benefits. It removes
a large number of toxic metals, reduces one’s risk of cancer
(by
about 90% according to studies), helps with osteoarthritis
and osteoporosis, diabetes and blood sugar control,
impotence, high blood pressure, heart disease, Alzheimer’s,
gout, kidney and gallbladder stones, lupus, glaucoma,
cataracts, retinopathy and macular degeneration, scleroderma,
gangrene, rheumatoid arthritis, heart arrhythmias,
stroke, skin ulcers, heart valve calcification, emphysema,
Raynaud’s, Parkinson’s, and varicose veins. Any condition
that is affected by decreased circulation can be treated with
Chelation.

How can you measure the progress of Chelation
Therapy?

Progress due to Chelation can be monitored
in many ways. In most cases, the patient tells me that they
have
improved. Angina goes away, they can walk without pain in
their legs, they have more energy and clarity of
thought, and aches and pains have cleared up. We can also
measure progress through the usual methods, such as
cardiac stress tests, ultrasound, angiography, Cardioversion,
and Oculoplethysmography.
Chelation is a non-specific process, meaning that it can remove
some of the good stuff as well as the bad. For that
reason, I suggest that everyone receive a nutritional evaluation
and be on a vitamin/mineral supplement program.
This helps to avoid any nutritional deficiencies from forming,
helps the Chelation work better, and provides benefits
that Chelation cannot. It should also be continued after Chelation,
as it helps to correct the underlying problems that
led to the person’s ill health. Chelation reverses the current
problems, nutrition keeps them from returning.

Is Chelation Therapy safe?

Chelation is extremely safe. I have never had
anyone stop the therapy due to side effects. Some possible
effects are
irritation at the site of infusion, a weak or achy feeling
after a treatment, low blood sugar, muscle spasm, and skin
rash. The side effect that is greatly overrated is kidney
damage. All cases occurred in the 1950′s when very high
doses were given in a short time, which is never done now.
In fact, kidney function typically improves with
Chelation, and even people with severe kidney problems have
been able to receive Chelation successfully. We do
monitor for any problems on a regular basis, but I have never
seen a serious reaction to it. It is important that you
eat before receiving Chelation to avoid a drop in blood sugar,
and you should drink plenty of pure water before,
during, and after a treatment.

Many physicians state that Chelation is useless
and that there is no scientific evidence to show that it works.
In
reality, Chelation has been well researched and its benefits
have been demonstrated over and over again for more
than 50 years. There are currently over 3500 research articles
published on EDTA and Chelation therapy. Those who
say there is no evidence for its benefits are obviously incorrect.
If you would like more detailed information on
Chelation, there are many sources. Popular books include The
Chelation Way, By-Passing By-Pass, and Forty-
Something Forever.
