Chelation

Chelation therapy has been used for many years to treat heavy metal poisoning and the effects of heavy metals in the body. The major indications for chelation are;

• elevated Blood Lead Levels (see more here)
• coronary artery disease (leading to angina and heart attack)
• disease involving the leg arteries (leading to intermittent claudication, leg pain with walking and amputation)
• arteries to the brain (leading to TIA and stroke)
• other arteries - to the kidneys, gut and other tissues

Many people have achieved benefit from chelation therapy, especially those who have reached the stage where conventional medicine or surgery has little further to offer. However, just as these patients often achieve major benefits, the preventive benefits of chelation, and its use in the treatment of early disease, is probably equally, if not more effective.

Chelation can also be used for a number of other conditions including - leg ulceration, diabetes, some forms of arthritis and a number of other conditions where free radical damage, which is aggravated by heavy metals, is present.
