Chelation IV Therapy Uses
Chelation IVs have been used for decades to help patients overcome chronic disease.
Many chronic conditions are the result of a build up of heavy metals such as aluminum and lead.
Every day we are exposed to these metals that exist in pollution, plastics and foods.
Chelation can be a proactive way to keep your tissues from accumulating calcium and the harmful heavy metals which may lead to cardiovascular disease, liver and kidney disease, and autoimmune conditions such as Hashimoto thyroiditis or multiple sclerosis.
Patients with cardiovascular disease or autoimmune conditions will benefit from having the heavy metals removed from their tissues.
Oxidative stress is the result of a build up of toxins in and outside of the cells.
To treat this, the toxins must be removed.
Secondly, the detoxification pathways through the liver and kidneys must be opened up to eliminate these from the system.
What is Chelation Therapy?
Chelation therapy is when a formula with EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) is administered intravenously to chelate or bind toxic metals and minerals.
A build-up of toxic minerals such as Aluminum and lead causes vascular inflammation and cellular oxidative stress.
A meta-analysis by L. Terry Campbell, M.D., revealed a high positive correlation between EDTA and improved cardiovascular function.
The Heavy Metal Challenge
Every day we are exposed to heavy metals in pollution, plastics, foods, dental amalgams, and even some medications.
Common toxic metals include:
- Lead: Found in old paint and contaminated soil
- Mercury: Present in certain fish and dental filling
- Aluminum: Common in cookware and personal care products
- Cadmium: Found in cigarette smoke and industrial emissions
These metals can accumulate in our tissues over time, potentially leading to:
- Cardiovascular disease
- Liver and kidney dysfunction
- Autoimmune conditions such as Hashimoto thyroiditis
- Multiple sclerosis
- Cognitive decline
- Chronic fatigue
- Joint pain and inflammation
How Chelation Works
The chelation process involves several key mechanisms:
1. Binding to toxic metals in the bloodstream
2. Removing calcium deposits from arterial walls
3. Reducing oxidative stress throughout the body
4. Supporting proper cellular function
5. Enhancing blood flow and circulation
Who Can Benefit?
Chelation therapy may be particularly beneficial for:
- Patients with cardiovascular disease
- Individuals with known heavy metal exposure
- Those with chronic inflammatory conditions
- People seeking preventive health measures
- Patients with autoimmune disorders
- Individuals with unexplained fatigue or brain fog
Treatment Protocol
Our approach involves the entire process of chelating and detoxifying so that your results will be long-lasting, not temporary.
A minimum of 10 sessions is necessary to achieve optimal results in chelation.
This can be done up to 2x/week; each infusion takes approximately 3 hours.
Patients typically rest comfortably during treatment while the IV is administered under medical supervision.
Safety and Monitoring
Throughout the treatment course, we carefully monitor:
- Kidney function
- Mineral levels
- Blood pressure
- Overall health markers
