Chelation
Chelation
Much has been written about chelation therapy for the improvement of cardiovascular disease for those not wanting conventional angioplasty or other surgical procedures. While chelation is not considered the "standard" method of treatment by conventional medicine, it is considered an alternative and complementary therapy for those wishing to approach improved cardiovascular health through detoxification.
Chelation is a method by which a natural amino acid is given to the patient via I.V. therapy along with nutrients like vitamin C, A, and others, that can detoxify and remove toxic heavy metals from the blood and tissues. Our clinical staff has an ACAM qualified and trained physician on staff, and we have done many years of chelation and I.V. nutrition with excellent results.
Chelation should be considered a safe and effective adjunct for those patients doing nutritional therapy to improve their cardiovascular functioning. Additionally, many patients report improved cognitive ability, that may be secondary to the improvement of circulation in other parts of the body.
Heavy Metal Detoxification
While our food supply is generally safe it is well known that pesticides and other chemicals are being used in abundance. Many foods including fish and some vegetables are treated with chemicals containing arsenic, mercury or others metals. While they are not intended for our consumption they can and do enter the food chain and once in our bodies do accumulate. Even things like vaccinations and the fillings in our teeth (amalgams) have these heavy metals in them. Many of them have been in our bodies for dozens of years from these sources and until we have them removed by some form of chelation - any potential poisonous side effects can occur.
While some of these metals can be associated with cancer, ADD, and other metabolic diseases the best thing always to do first is to evaluate the levels in your body. At the HMC we can do urine and hair heavy metal tests and if the labs prove there are higher levels in the body, we can then chelate these out until your body reaches a safer level.
