Intravenous
Chelation Therapy: An Effective Treatment for Heavy-Metal
Poisoning and Cardiovascular Disease
Intravenous chelation
therapy has been a respected and widely used medical treatment
for heavy-metal poisoning - especially lead poisoning - for
more than 50 years. Some physicians also promote intravenous
chelation as an alternative treatment for arteriosclerosis
(hardening of the arteries), including coronary artery disease,
peripheral vascular disease (blockage or narrowing of blood
vessels in the legs) and the mental deterioration caused by
small strokes.
During an intravenous chelation treatment, the synthetic amino
acid EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) is administered
through a needle into a vein, often in the wrist. The needle
is connected to a long tube which, in turn, is connected to
a bottle of EDTA that is slowly "dripped" into your body through
the tube, needle and vein. The word "dripped" is usually used
because part of the mechanism of measuring the amount of stuff
to go into your body is a part of the tube where the medication
"drips" and you can see the number of drops and thus estimate
the speed of flow.
Intravenous chelation therapy is a modern medical procedure
offered by more than 1,000 doctors in the United States. Since
it involves a needle in the vein, only a nurse or doctor can
do perform intravenous chelation therapy. Since it involves
putting a substance into your body, only a doctor can initiate
the process.
What is the difference between intravenous chelation and
oral chelation?
The only apparent differences between intravenous chelation
therapy and oral chelation are that the medication is administered
by a drip directly into your blood stream, where it begins
to work slightly faster than oral administration. Intravenous
chelation therapy must be prescribed and overseen by a physician.
EDTA travels throughout the body gathering up such toxic metals
as lead, arsenic, and aluminum from various organs. It also
removes the plaque buildup commonly found in diseased arteries.

| The term "chelation"
is derived from the Greek word chele, which means "to claw."
Like a claw, a molecule of EDTA grabs or binds onto a molecule
of metal and carries it through the bloodstream to be excreted
in the urine.
Once the intravenous solution of EDTA enters the bloodstream,
it is believed to attach itself to metal molecules. It then
takes about 48 hours for the body to excrete these substances
through the urine. Because the therapy can also remove small
amounts of zinc, copper, calcium, manganese, and other essential
minerals from the body, supplemental vitamins and minerals
are often added to the EDTA infusion.
Can intravenous chelation improve cardiovascular health?
Intravenous chelation therapy using EDTA can be the answer
to improved cardiovascular health because it cleans out the
cardiovascular system not only of heavy metals, but also of
the plaque and calcium that restricts and impedes the flow
of blood and oxygen to the organs and extremities.
