What is chelation therapy?
Chelation therapy uses chelating agents to remove excess heavy metals, such as arsenic, lead, and mercury, from the body. These metals can be toxic and contribute to serious health problems, so chelation therapy is intended to improve health by facilitating their removal. Agents like ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) bind to the metals, allowing them to be excreted through the urinary system. Typically, patients receive chelating agents through an intravenous (IV) line, and a blood test is conducted beforehand to confirm elevated levels of heavy metals. While there is increasing interest in the alternative use of chelation therapy to treat a variety diseases, from autism to heart disease, chelating agents are currently only approved by the FDA to treat acute metal poisoning. Additionally, improper dosages of chelating agents can pose health risks, so its important that chelation therapy is only conducted under appropriate medical supervision.
