Chelation Therapy Naturopaths in Missouri
My passion is to help people get and stay healthy through natural protocols (and to avoid, if possible, the use of, and dependency on, drugs). I provide services in naturopathy (functional lab testing, herbal medicine, nutritional and cleansing protocols), homeopathy, and various energy healing modalities (e.g. Emotional Freedom Technique and BodyTalk). I help individuals uncover the root causes of illness or imbalance and then find their healing strength within, stimulating their own body's healing mechanisms.

Chelation Therapy Naturopaths
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.
