What is Chelation Therapy?
Chelation Therapy is the administration of a synthetic amino acid, EDTA, which binds heavy metals in the body. EDTA removes heavy metals such as iron, copper, lead which cause heavy metal poisoning and toxic symptoms, and calcium, which have been shown to be associated with the formation of plaque in the blood vessels. The formation of plaque causes heart attacks, strokes and vascular disease. By chelating these minerals out of the body, it softens and reduces the amount of plaque in the system. It also lessons hardening of the arteries and makes them more elastic, resulting in better circulation.
