Chelation Therapy in Ashburn, VA & Bethesda, MD

Chelation therapy is a treatment used in conventional medicine for removing heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury from the blood, and Next Health is a trusted choice for chelation therapy near me in the DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia area. “Chelation” means “to grab” or “to bind.” It’s a chemical procedure – known as EDTA chelation therapy – 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).
