Chelation therapy takes its name from the Greek word “chele” meaning “to claw” or “to bind.” Chelation therapy is used to rid the body of toxic metals such as lead, mercury, aluminum and arsenic, which may be deposited over the years from contact with pesticides, paint pigments, amalgam fillings used in dental work, certain ceramic glazes, industrial air and water pollution, contaminated foods and other sources. Once in the body, these heavy metals bind tightly to tissues and bone and remain there unless something is done to get them out. Chelation therapy is the treatment of choice for this problem.
Chelation therapy is also thought by many doctors to be effective in reducing plaque in the arteries. By softening "hardening" of the arteries, this process makes them capable of carrying much more oxygen and nutrients to all the organs of the body. Removal of toxins also decreases inflammation, a major cause of heart disease.
We use a form of Chelation that is fast (fifteen to twenty minutes per treatment) and less expensive than older agents. Call our office to book an appointment and ask the doctor if this therapy is right for you.
