Chelation therapy is a the use of a chelating agent Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) to detoxify the body of certain minerals and heavy metals (mercury, lead, cadmium, etc.) that could impair your health. In addition, chelation is also used in alternative treatment of other medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease, allergies, Alzheimer's, diabetes, osteoporosis, Parkinson's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, baldness, and in the prevention or treatment of certain types of cancer. Although the effectiveness of this therapy is controversial, some people suffered from many chronic conditions, claim to find relief in using chelation therapy. The story behind chelation therapy helps us to give it some credit; its invention was not for a greedy cause. EDTA was first synthesized in Germany in the 1930s. A few years later, it was used successfully in the treatment of a group American workers suffering from lead poisoning. After that successful experience, some physicians such as Clarke and Mosher proceeded to use EDTA to treat some of their patients who had atherosclerosis; the result was satisfying. Nowadays, chelation is used as an alternative medicine in almost 25 different medical conditions. nnDoes chelation therapy works? Very often, I am asked if chelation therapy really works. My answer is always simple, “yes, but for not everyone”. Some users notice no change in their health in using chelation therapy; although it is rare. In fact, it is not only for chelation therapy; no medication works for everyone. nThrough the years, several medical studies have shown that exposure or poisoned by heavy metals can cause serious health problems. Your body cannot metabolize those substances; they accumulate in certain organs in your body and cause degenerative effects on your health. For example, lead poisoning may contribute to the development of hypertension. Scientists also believe that heavy metal concentrations in the blood can be the root of autism, Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. That is, chelation therapy can not only treat but also prevent many degenerative diseases that develop asymptomatically in your body.nnHow chelation therapy works? Chelation is a process by which an organic substance (chelating agent) binds to minerals such as mercury, lead, cadmium, iron, calcium, copper, etc. The complex resulted, becoming stable and non-toxic, can be easily eliminated in urine and fecal matter. This means, it is important during chelation therapy to drink plenty of fluids to help the detoxification process. Neglect to do so, is as if you put a food in a microwave, and do not press the start bottom. You should drink lot of fluids during any cleansing or detoxifying program. In addition, a diet consisting of fruits and green vegetables is also recommended. In addition, you should exercise; it increases your blood movement and heartbeat (in a good way), which helps perspiration and increases the elimination. You should know, however, that not all chelation therapy products promoted out there are the same; their efficiency differs from a manufacturer to another.
