Additional Benefits of Chelation Therapy

Chelation therapy was developed in the mid-1900s to treat heavy metal poisoning. Though chelation therapy is now considered an alternate choice rather than conventional, it remains a viable option for people suffering from heavy metal toxicity. Chelation therapy is mainly done intravenously, but recently, oral treatments have been effective for a portion of patients.

During chelation therapy, EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) attaches to toxins in the body and then is eliminated from the system through urination. For individuals suffering from heavy metal toxicity, the heavy metals won’t leave the body on their own. Chelation therapy is the best process for removing excess metals such as lead and arsenic, but this isn’t the only benefit chelation therapy can offer.

Reduce Physical and Mental Fatigue

An excessive amount of heavy metals in the body can increase physical and mental fatigue. You might see a decrease in your usual energy levels and might feel that your mental sharpness seems to have declined. Removing heavy metals like lead and mercury from the system reduces fatigue and helps energy and concentration.

Lowered Risk of Heart Attack and Stroke

There is good evidence that chelation therapy also has significant impact in reducing plaque and scar tissue in the arteries. For those suffering cardiovascular ailments, reducing plaque can help lower blood pressure, which improves overall cardiovascular health and lowers the risk of strokes and heart attacks.

Reduction in Pain and Swelling

The scientific evidence isn’t conclusive yet, but in some patients, the benefits of the EDTA used during chelation therapy include those similar to an antioxidant. Free radicals and oxygen ions are reduced, which in turn reduces inflammation and the pain that comes along with it.
