When metals like lead, mercury, aluminum, and arsenic build up in your body, they can be toxic. Chelation therapy is a specific medical treatment to remove these metals so that they do not pose a problem for the health of the individual.
Chelation therapy uses special synthetic amino acids (EDTA, DMPS and DMSA) that bind to the metals present in the blood and are then eliminated in the urine. The chelation therapy with EDTA is carried out intravenously (IV therapy) through a common slow drip infusion which has an average duration between two and three hours. Generally, a cycle of sessions is followed with frequency once a week for at least five weeks, a period necessary to highlight the first benefits for the patient. Orally it can be carried out with molecules, taken in the form of capsules in galenic preparation, such as DMPS and DMSA which, between them, have an affinity for different heavy metals. Once these molecules bind the toxic metals, the body eliminates them in the form of a complex (chelating agent / metal) through the urine.
Metals that can be removed with chelation therapy include lead, mercury, arsenic, aluminum, cadmium, and many others. Before carrying out this treatment, the doctor performs a blood test to especially assess kidney function and blood calcium as well as make sure through a test carried out on the urine (chelation test) or the hair (mineralogram of the hair) that the presence of high levels of heavy metals.
When chelation therapy is carried out in accordance with the protocols and for a justified therapeutic purpose, it can be safe. The side effect that can occur is inflammation of the vein in which the drip is administered, which is common in any intravenous therapy. You could also have fever, headache, nausea and vomiting.
Chelating drugs can bind and remove certain metals or trace elements that the body needs, such as calcium, copper and zinc. This can lead to a lack of these important substances therefore, during the therapeutic cycle, it is advisable to reintegrate them in a mix with other trace elements, orally. Before carrying out the therapy, the doctor must evaluate some blood tests such as, in particular, blood calcium and creatinine (renal function) and have the patient sign an informed consent.
