Chelation Therpy - A Therapy That Bonds with Unwanted Metals

by Laura Koch

Chelation therpy bonds a metal or mineral (such as cadmium, cadmium, calcium, iron, aluminum, arsenic, etc.) to another substance - in this case an amino acid called EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid). The EDTA bonds with unwanted metal in the body and carries them quickly out of the body in the urine.

Normally present trace elements and minerals which are essential for good health are more closely held within the body and can be maintained with a properly balanced diet and nutritional supplements. Kelation therapy has many positive actions in the body.

Free radicals underlie the development of atherosclerosis and many other degenerative diseases of aging. When the free radicals are reduced, diseased arteries can begin to heal and the blood flow can be restored. In time, kelation therpy brings amazing improvement to many physiologic and essential metabolic functions in the body.
