Chelation Therapy
Chelation therapy is a safe means of ridding the body of toxic metals. Treatment for removing heavy metals should be considered by anyone who has had mercury amalgams in their teeth, exposure to solvents or other toxic metals or chemicals, or for those with unexplained immune, endocrine and neurological symptoms. Chelation has also been used for cardiovascular health for over 50 years treating angina, high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis and other cardiovascular problems, by slowly dissolving atherosclerotic plaques to improve the circulation and decrease cardiovascular risk. Chelation can also be used to treat osteoporosis, as high levels of lead are often found in the bones of post menopausal women. In addition chelation is recommended as part of preconception care, removing toxic metals to prevent passing them on to the fetus. We use IV chelation as well as oral and do a thorough pre-chelation work up to minimize potential side effects.
