Chelation is basically removing minerals and heavy metals from the human body using a chemical agent. The most common agent used and a man made amino acid is EDTA. It helps in removing the toxic metals from the body.
This agent is being approved by Food and drug administration, USA. It forms a strong bond with the metals helping in easy removal from the body. These minerals include copper; lead; mercury. It is also used in chemical analysis and water softeners. It is even used in preservatives. It even acts as a cleansing agent in water treatment plans.
This treatment requires some medical test to be performed. These include sugar test, blood pressure test, coronary artery disease, circulatory disease. In this treatment injections are given and these injections contain EDTA. A single session comprises 3 long hours and a minimum of 30 sessions are required for the complete cure. The side effects are not very high in this treatment but sometimes vomiting, nausea, fever can occur as a side effect. That implies the treatment is not at all full proof.
EDTA, the chelating agent even helps in treating autism. This is seen as the kids suffering from autism have a lack of certain enzymes and sometimes the basic nutrients found in wheat and dairy products are not present in the body. So due to these inappropriately digested proteins will then travel to the blood, entering the blood-brain barrier. This leads to disruption in neuro-transmission thereby affecting the child’s attention, speech and behavior. Even due to the presence of mercury alone, digestive system is poorly affected. Even combining chelation treatment with GFCF, it helps in shortening the recovery period. It helps in improving the digestive system. The chelation therapy can take out mercury from the autistic child.
Chelation therapy can be of different types depending on the chelating agent and the poisoning agent. It can be orally, intravenously or intramuscularly. This therapy is being approved by US FDA. In the intravenous treatment the agent combines with the toxins and flushing them out of the body. Due to this the cells of the body can function normally and nutrients can easily get inside the body. The blood flow can easily be stabilized. People look even younger as wrinkles just go away using this treatment. This even helps in skin, nails and hair looking better and the person look healthier and younger.
