Chelation Therapy
Chelation therapy is a treatment used in conventional medicine for removing heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury from the blood. “Chelation” means “to grab” or “to bind.” It’s a chemical procedure in which ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) is injected into the bloodstream to remove heavy metals from the blood. The EDTA binds to heavy metals and minerals in the blood so they can be excreted in the urine. Another intravenous agent used is called DMPS (2,3-Dimercapto-1-propanesulfonic acid).
