RATINGS
Chelation therapy was first used in the 1940s by the US Navy to treat lead poisoning, and is still practiced principally in the US, albeit controversially. It involves the administration of a synthetic form of the amino acid EDTA to "chelate," or chemically remove, heavy metals and toxins from the bloodstream, and break down calcium deposits or plaque from the artery walls.
The patient is hooked up to an intravenous drip containing a solution of EDTA, vitamins, and minerals. Treatment is carried out by a qualified doctor, and tests on circulation and blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels, and kidney and organ function are taken throughout the treatment. A session lasts about three hours, 1-3 times per week, and 20-30 sessions are recommended.
Chelation therapy is used to treat circulatory disorders, and is also practiced preventively to maintain a healthy bloodstream. Many studies have been carried out on it, but few of these have been scientifically controlled.
