|  | Chelation therapy has been used since the 1940’s to treat severe poisoning by heavy metals. After removing the cause of heavy metal poisoning, the use of chelating agents is the next most important step in detoxification therapy. Heavy metals such as lead and mercury can be stored in the body and accumulate in the bones and other types of tissue. Amalgam fillings are often seen as a cause of mercury poisoning. Patients complain of headaches, memory disorders, immune deficiency, and more. Even after the elimination of the original source, the stored metal is still released gradually. This process can take years. Chelation therapy accelerates the natural excretion of heavy metals stored in the body. At Infusio we use I.V. infusions of calcium and magnesium EDTA for chelation therapy.
Applications of Chelation Therapy:- Heavy metal detoxification
- Calcium EDTA can be used in children and young people for detoxification of toxic metals
- Degenerative disease (atherosclerosis): Calcium deposits in joints, muscles, heart valves, etc.
- Magnesium EDTA has a positive effect on platelet aggregation and influences the parathyroid gland and thus the removal of calcium.
- EDTA chelation can lower cholesterol as a ‘side effect’ in atherosclerosis (lowering of LDL-Ch, especially in the arterial wall).
