Chelation is originated from a Greek word “Chele” which means claw (like that of a scorpion or crab). Three types of chelation therapies are available called oral chelation, EDTA combination Chelation and EDTA chelation suppositories therapies. Chelation therapy can be defined as the medical process of chelating or removing heavy metals toxicity from the human body by the infusion, or taking orally, of an organic compound which has suitable chelating properties.

Chelation therapy is used as a treatment for various medical conditions such as atherosclerosis and other chronic degenerative diseases involving the circulatory system. The chelating agent may be administered intravenously, intramuscularly or orally depending on the agent and the type of poisoning.

How Chelation Therapy Works?

Chelation therapy works by administrating EDTA into the veins. EDTA is a man-made amino acid, stands for Ethylene Diamine tetra acetic acid and marketed under several names such as Edetate, Disodium, Endrate and Sodium Versenate. Chelation is based on the concept when EDTA comes in contact with other metals and substances like lead, copper, calcium, zinc and magnesium, it grabs them and then removes them. By EDTA Chelation it is possible to dissolve deposits of minerals and atherosclerotic plaque in the cardiovascular system and hence reduce the amount of the deposits in big way. It helps in clearing and smoothening of arterial system and keeps it in a healthier state. EDTA chelation is effective against arteriosclerosis and many other serious health problems. Various other benefits of Chelation Therapy are listed below:

Reduces Free Radical Activity in The Blood

Blocks Calcium Absorption, Repairs Damaged Muscles, Improves the Cell Energy Production

Reduces Blood Stickiness or Clotting

Normalizes Abnormal Cholesterol and HDL Levels

Removes Calcium from the Plaque

Improvements in the reduction of neurological symptoms, cardiovascular symptoms, skin conditions, respiratory symptoms, gastrointestinal, genital and urinary symptoms.

Chelation is helpful in Cancer Treatment

EDTA is used as a valid alternative to various medical interventions such as coronary bypass surgery.

Effects of heart attack are removed, reduces chest pain, blood pressure is reduced in the case of high blood pressure patients, prevention of deposition of the cholesterol in blood, liver etc, improves memory, effect of the stroke is aversed.
