Chelation Therapy Los Angeles

Chelation is an intravenous therapy of vitamins, minerals and EDTA. EDTA is a synthetic protein that is slowly infused intravenously and binds to metal ions in the blood vessels and arteries. Metals are carried to the kidneys and are excreted. It is a highly effective treatment for heavy metal poisoning such as lead and mercury. Heavy metal detoxification has been associated with improvement in cardiovascular disease. Currently a double blinded study called TACT is in progress by National Institute of Health to evaluate the efficacy of Chelation in treatment of Cardiovascular disease. It would be exciting to have more factual information about Chelation and treatment of heart disease.

At this time, however, Chelation is used empirically for treatment of vascular problems. It acts as a calcium channel blocker and lowers blood pressure and improves circulation dramatically. Patients with peripheral vascular disease (poor circulation in the extremities) have claimed to have less pain in the effected limbs after receiving Chelation Intravenously. Patients with Angina (chest pain) have also claimed to have less symptoms and improvement in their quality of life. It is important to keep in mind that until further studies are performed conventional therapy is necessary in some cases and not every individual is a candidate for Chelation therapy.
