What is Chelation Therapy? How does it help?
Chelation Therapy does two things:
1) It removes heavy metals from the body
2) It removes calcification/plaque in the arteries, capillaries, and veins
When EDTA (Ethylendiamine Tetraacetic Acid) is injected into the blood, it binds to heavy metals and minerals in the body, such as lead. Next, these poisonous materials are released through the kidneys as urine. In addition, calcium deposits (the part of plaque that obstructs the flow of blood to the heart), is also released.
So why should individuals know about Chelation Therapy?
Most people have heard about the devastating health effects of heavy metal toxicity. The list of heavy metals is long, along with the myriad illnesses they can cause. Chronic exposure can result in damaged body organs and may increase the risk of cancer. This begs the question: Could the vast exposure to heavy metals be one reason so many Americans are being diagnosed with cancer? I would say, ABSOLUTELY! Cancer is right behind heart disease as one of the leading causes of death.
A commonly asked question is: “Where does heavy metal toxicity come from?” Heavy metal exposure can come from the very water that we drink! Just look at what happened to people affected by the water supply in Flint, Michigan. Other heavy metals are found in our food, medication, and the environment. They are present in the air, dust, soil, and many manmade products. Unfortunately, heavy metals can be easily absorbed by our skin and just by simply breathing and eating.
Some common symptoms of heavy metal poisoning: abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Exposures can cause heart abnormalities, anemia, behavior changes, and brain dysfunction such as memory loss.
There’s currently a lot of controversy around the theory that aluminum is a leading cause of Alzheimer’s disease. When you see how many products contain aluminum and the massive number of people affected by Alzheimer’s, it really should make you wonder.
Even if Chelation Therapy only helped the body detoxify from heavy metals and reduced the amount of cancer cases, don’t you think that would be enough of a reason to do it?
The fact is, Chelation Therapy does much more. In addition to helping rid the body of heavy metal pollution, which many experts believe is a cardiovascular risk, it also helps the body remove build-up in the cardiovascular (circulatory) system. The heart and blood vessels consist of arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins. Studies have shown that EDTA has reduced atherosclerotic plaque and other mineral deposits throughout the cardiovascular system, especially the hardened arteries around the heart.
There is no question, Chelation is the answer to reducing Heart Disease, the number one cause of death in America today. EDTA Chelation not only treats heart disease, it can also prevent heart attacks and strokes. Listen to this man’s testimony. He had a heart attack and a stent put in, and was on a lot of medications. He didn’t like how he felt, so he stopped taking the medications he was on and started Chelation Therapy. Since his Chelation treatments, he has had no more symptoms or difficulties.
Stroke and cerebrovascular diseases are the fifth leading cause of death in America. They can develop from a variety of causes, including atherosclerosis where the arteries become narrow. This can cause a blood clot in an artery of the brain.
If you are reading this article and looking at the links I have included, you’re probably saying to yourself… “if Chelation Therapy really does so much good for one’s health, why haven’t I heard of it?”
The sad reality is that America’s present medical system heavily profits from treating health problems rather than preventing them. Though Chelation Therapy has been used for many years, it has been largely suppressed due to the current medical profit model. It has only been in the last few years that it has received public acknowledgement for studies such as TACT. Yet, Chelation still isn’t covered by insurance nor offered by most MDs (Doctor of Medicine) or DOs (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine).
But there’s some good news: There are doctors trained in Chelation Therapy who are providing it to their patients with great success. Typically, they are Naturopathic Doctors or MD, MD(H) who have a second license to practice holistic medicine. For more information on where to find a doctor in your area who is certified in Chelation Therapy, please visit ACAM.org.
I encourage you to educate yourself on this amazing therapy. Education is key, as is prevention. Along with Chelation, some other great therapies that help your body detox include regular infrared saunas, colon hydrotherapy, and eating organic fresh produce. We live in a toxic world, and detoxifying our bodies is essential to live healthy and happy lives.
