Chelation Therapy: Clears clogged arteries, prevent stroke, avoid bypass surgery
Metabolic wastes and toxins can be effectively and safely removed from the body’s blood stream by a process called chelation by using chelating agents intravenously.
Uses of Chelation Therapy
Chelation clears a variety of heavy metals from the body.
- It removes calcium and prevents hardening of arteries and also helps to cure diseases related with poor circulation, gangrene and leg cramps.
- It boosts energy, prevents strokes and improves mental alertness.>
- It is also used to treat Alzheimer’s, arthritis, cancer, muscular dystrophy,multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease, Psoriasis and thyroid problems.
Chelation Therapy Treatment
A chemical solution called EDTA is inserted into vein of the fingers or back of the hand via an IV needle.
During the treatment you can be at ease. Your hair maybe sent for laboratory analysis if heavy metal poisoning is suspected. During and after the treatment blood sugar levels, cholesterol and B.P. will be monitored. Even the functioning of your heart and kidneys maybe tested.
Treatment Time – Requires 3- 4 hours.
Treatment Frequency – Usually 20-50 treatments.
Benefits of Chelation Therapy
- The EDTA binds on to the metal in the bloodstream and carries them through the system so they can be excreted in the urine.
- It was found effective for people suffering from lead poisoning.
- It also cleared clogged arteries. They could also reverse the damage done by free radicals to the tissues.
- It is a safe, effective, inexpensive alternative to coronary bypass surgery or balloon angioplasty to clear arteries.
Who Should Avoid Chelation Therapy
- It is non-advisable for pregnant women and for people suffering from brain tumor, kidney damage and liver disease.
Side Effects of Chelation Therapy
- Kidneys maybe seriously damaged.
- Anemia, bone marrow damage, blood clots, headache, fever, joint pain, irregular heart beat, low B.P., difficult and painful urination.

Ask a Doctor:
What is EDTA Chelation Therapy?
A procedure whereby a man-made amino acid called
EDTA is injected into the veins. EDTA stands for thylenediamine Tetraacetic Acid.
Chelation Therapy is normally undertaken by people whose blood flow is restricted due to thickened arteries. Chelation therapy claims to solve this problem for some people, by enabling smoother blood flows. This therapy is administered for patients suffering from atherosclerosis - a condition which causes the hardening of the arteries, thereby making it difficult for the heart to pump blood through them. Patients may risk a heart attack or a stroke if this is not treated.
How long does the chelation therapy procedure last?
This really differs from person to person. The average duration for one treatment is about 3-4 hours. Patients affected with atherosclerosis are typically administered this treatment for 20-30 times in the first month and are advised to take this therapy once a month thereafter, as a preventive measure.
How much does chelation therapy cost?
Costs range between $50-$100 per treatment. In my experience Chelation Therapy is not covered under medical insurance. It is better to check this fact before you undergo the therapy.
What is Oral EDTA chelation Therapy?
When EDTA is taken by mouth instead of being administered intravenously it is called Oral chelation therapy. Oral chelation therapy is not found to be effective by some researchers. To treat the cardiovascular disease registering EDTA through intravenous is more effective because EDTA is not easily absorbed easily when taken by mouth. Also, oral chelation therapy is potentially dangerous if taken for a long period of time, as the EDTA prevents absorption of some essential nutrients. Get expert advice before you take any chelation treatment, oral or intravenous.
What is Iron Chelation Therapy
The process of removing iron from the body using a medicine called Deferoxamine (or Desferal) is called Iron Chelation Therapy. This is administered by injections for about 5 days a week, for about 10 hours each night.
