Chelation therapy

This is a method to remove toxins from the body. This is important, as practically everyone in Western society suffers from chronic chemical poisoning. For instance: cigarette smoke contains cadmium and polonium, and exhaust fumes contain lead or platinum. Analytic comparison between modern man and his prehistoric predecessor show that we have on average a hundred times as much lead in our blood. Another toxin is the mercury from the amalgam fillings in our teeth. Such toxins threaten our health on the cellular level en cause all sorts of damaging processes. With Chelation therapy substances are injected into the blood stream that encapsulate those unwanted toxins. Subsequently the encapsulated toxins leave the body in the urine. There are several chelators that each have a specific effect. As an example: in World War II a chelator was produced that can remove mustard gas (which contains arsenic) from body cells. The oldest substance is still by far the most frequently used one: ethylene-diamino-tetra-acetic acid, or EDTA. EDTA chelation is employed among other things in cases of toxic poisoning by metals such as lead, cadmium, strontium and plutonium. Little by little more and more beneficiary effects of chelation therapy have been discovered. EDTA is a powerful anti-oxidant. It also prevents clotting of blood platelets and reduces obstruction of the blood vessels.

Which illnesses respond well to chelation therapy?
One of the most important qualities of EDTA is that it has a beneficiary effect on our calcium metabolism. This is of great importance, as the gradual "hardening" is an integral part of the ageing process. From the age eighteen everywhere where there's tissue degeneration there is calcium deposit. This deposit in turn promotes further degeneration. Cardiovascular diseases are often the result. EDTA ignores "good" calcium in teeth and bones, yet removes "bad" calcium from our bodies. That's why chelation therapy is often applied with afflictions caused by excessive deposition of calcium, such as arteriosclerosis, sclerosis of the heart valve, arthritis, rheumatism, and muscular disorder.

Also chelation therapy is employed when there is indication that your body suffers from toxic overload.

The effect of chelation therapy
Chelation therapy has been employed since the sixties on a large scale, mainly in cases of cardiovascular diseases and hundreds of thousands of patients have benefited by it. Usually, after having been treated for some time, a noticeable improvement of the blood circulation is achieved. People with arthritic disorders are better able to walk and in the case of angina pectoris the complaints decrease. Also the skin often regains its healthy temperature and colour. Healthy people, who undergo this therapy as part of an anti-ageing treatment, often notice that numerous vague complaints like inability to concentrate, chronic fatigue, headache and depression disappear. Moreover, chelation therapy has proven its use in cases of advanced, serious disorders. It has served as a successful alternative for life threatening bypass operations and has even forestalled the necessity to amputate (in cases of "smoker's leg).

Treatment
Duration and nature of the treatment will be adapted to your specific circumstances and needs. For healthy adults who want to cleanse their body thoroughly and keep their veins in optimum condition, we generally recommend a course of twenty to thirty treatments. You would be coming in once or twice a week for a number of months. After that, as a rule you can maintain the achieved result with monthly treatments. Patients with a heart disease, who have had myocardial infarction(s), or have been operated on for a bypass or other coronary adjustment and/or are on extensive medication, often need more treatments before they are free of complaints and are able to stop taking medication. During the treatment the chelator is brought into your blood vessel intravenously. This will take three to four hours, during which you will be seated comfortably in an armchair while you may read or converse with the other patients. Every five to seven treatments, your blood is tested to measure the effect, and your organ functions are monitored.
