Chelation IV Infusion Therapy

What is Chelation IV Infusion Therapy?

There are many benefits of Chelation IV Infusion Therapy, including the ability to remove heavy metals from the body, the relief of symptoms associated with heavy metal poisoning, and the prevention of further damage from heavy metal exposure. Chelation IV infusion therapy can also help to improve overall health by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. Chelation IV infusion therapy is particularly helpful in reducing vascular inflammation in diabetics. A multi-center placebo controlled trial showed chelation to be very effective in reducing the risk of additional heart attacks and death in diabetic patients who had suffered a previous heart attack.

Chelation IV infusion therapy pulls toxic metals from the body. During our lifetimes we are all exposed to lead and other heavy metals from a variety of sources. These metals interfere with multiple cellular functions, damage our organs, and accelerate aging especially in diabetics. In the TACT Trial, a chelation therapy study with 1700 patients of which over 600 were diabetics, it was found that the number of heart attacks in diabetics dropped by 50% and deaths from any cause by 40%. These are amazing numbers.

Medical chelation is done by an IV infusion of EDTA, the chelating agent. The EDTA binds heavy metals so that they can be cleared from the body via the kidneys. Removing metals from the body slows the formation AGEs (advanced glycation end products). The AGEs contribute to the formation of plaque in blood vessels. Which in turn lead to heart attacks and stroke especially in diabetics.

We use two chelating agents: EDTA and DMPS. EDTA works best on cadmium and lead, while DMPS works better on mercury.

 

Who should use Chelation IV Infusion Therapy?

Anyone with the following issues may consider using Chelation IV Infusion Therapy:

  • Diabetics
  • Peripheral artery disease
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Carotid artery disease
  • Previous TIA or stroke
  • Those with environmental exposures

Mike’s recent ultrasound exam confirms his carotid arteries which were 70 to 90% occluded are now completely clear.

Chelation IV Infusion Therapy Costs

A full chelation series consists of 20 to 30 chelation treatments depending on the severity of the condition. The costs run approximately $2,500 to $ $3,600 depending on the severity of the disease.

Chelation is not covered by insurance. However, we do offer Care Credit for those individuals who do not have insurance or do not have insurance coverage for a much needed procedure or therapy. Utilizing Care Credit may place the estimated monthly cost of the chelation package between $120 to $150 per month for 24 months interest free depending on the number of IVs in your package. Please review our Billing & Fees page for additional information.
