Chelation Theraphy, A Popular Theraphy to Clean Your Arteries and Remove Heavy Metal

by Laura Koch

CHELATION THERAPHYwas introduced into the United States in 1948. It is a popular therapy that is used by many to help prevent or even reverse diminished blood circulation or hardening of the arteries. Today, it is widely used as a cleansing program for heavy metal toxicity. It is also used for radiation toxicity, lead poisoning, digitalis intoxication, snake venom poisoning and heart arrhythmias.

A protein called EDTA (ethylene-diamine-tetracetic acid) is used in chelation therapy to remove clogging, toxic minerals from the circulatory system. It is a chelating synthetic amino acid - which binds with divalent heavy metals that may be clogging the arteries. It particularly removes clogging minerals that contribute to free radical damage and impaired membrane function.

EDTA can be used intravenously through IV chelation to flush the cells of ionic minerals - particularly calcium. EDTA IV chelation flushes the clogging minerals through the kidneys and out of the body.
