For a long time, I have heard of chelation therapy and how it has been used as a treatment by alternative medicine advocates to rid the body off excess toxins, especially heavy metals. Basically, chelating agents are used to draw out toxic metals and other harmful substances that impair body function and assist the body discharge these toxins via the kidneys. The use of Chelation Therapy has been known to be helpful in relieving symptoms of cardiovascular diseases, diabetic gangrene, vision impairment, necrotic ulcers, rheumatoid arthritis, and poor memory.
EDTA chelation seems to provide individuals suffering from problems caused by toxic metal accumulation as the chelating agents attracts lead and many other metals including calcium. It is necessary to get a physical examination before going through a chelation therapy, which includes the evaluation of your cholesterol, blood, kidney function, liver function and electrolytes. Another important thing to note in ensuring success during the therapy is to observe a chelation diet and include exercise into the program. Exercise should be done not only during but after the program and where diet is concerned, avoid salt and foods that are high in saturated fat. Choose whole grain foods, consume ‘good fats’ and limit your intake of proteins, eggs, caffeine and alcohol.
