Chelation Therapy
Chelation therapy uses infusions to treat vascular diseases and other disorders.
A chelate is a chemical complex where a mineral or metal is bound to another substance. Chelate formation is a natural body process occurring, for instance, with iron and hemoglobin. In our therapy, chelate formation is induced by EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) which is administered to the patient via infusion.
EDTA has the ability to bind heavy metals such as lead and cadmium and the light metal calcium in the body for excretion via the kidney. This makes it an ideal choice for treating metal intoxication and arterial calcification.
Chelation therapy is used to treat:
- Arteriosclerosis
- Myocardial infarction
- Stroke (apoplexy)
- Heavy metal intoxication
- Rheumatic diseases
- Arthrosis, arthritis
- Fibromyalgia
- Diabetic vascular disease
- Degenerative eye diseases
- Chronic fatigue syndrome
What does chelation therapy do?
- Stops arteriosclerosis, reducing plaques and improving arterial elasticity
- Detoxifies the body by removing toxic metals found in the air, drinking water, food, cigarette smoke, cosmetics, dental metals (amalgam, palladium) and many other harmful environmental substances
- Promotes incorporation of calcium into the bone (preventing bone decalcification)
- Reduces free radicals
Risk factors for arteriosclerosis include:
Hypertension, smoking, diabetes, lack of exercise, high blood fat levels, stress, poor nutrition (from excessive amounts of animal fat and protein), environmental and heavy metal intoxication, oxygen deficiency, inflammatory substances in the body (for example in the intestines).
How is chelation therapy administered?
Patients receive a continuous drip infusion that includes the chelating agent EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) as well as a range of vitamins, trace elements and minerals. Optimum control is guaranteed through comprehensive examinations before, during and after treatment.
