Metals like mercury, lead and iron can sometimes enter the body and become embedded in tissues. Once they are in our body, these particles have the potential to cause serious health problems. Some doctors believe that the chelation therapy rids the body of these dangerous toxins. In this article, we’ll show you how this cleansing and detoxification therapy can improve your health.

Chelation therapy is the administration of chelating agents to remove heavy metals from the body. This metal detoxification can be done intravenously, intramuscularly or orally. Alternative medicine uses this therapy in the treatment of heart disease and in the treatment of autistic patients. Some chelation advocates claim that autism might be caused or aggravated by heavy metal poisoning and might be treated by using this heavy metal detoxification method.

However, there is no scientific evidence to support this hypothesis. This remedy is also widely used for the treatment of chronic degenerative diseases involving the circulatory system. The chelation halts the bad effects and initiates the body’s healing process, often reversing the damage. Many patients who could not walk due to muscle pain or angina pain have reported that they can walk without pain after this treatment.
