Chelation Therapy

킬레이트화 요법은 킬레이트제를 사용하여 몸에서 중금속을 제거하며, 일반적으로 금속 독성이나 축적으로 인한 상태를 해결하기 위해 의학적 감독 하에 정맥 내 또는 경구로 투여됩니다.

Indication and
Uses

The primary indications and uses of chelation therapy include:

Heavy Metal Poisoning

Chelation therapy is considered the standard of care for treating acute or chronic heavy metal poisoning, particularly from lead, mercury, arsenic, or cadmium. By binding to these toxic metals, chelating agents can facilitate their removal from the body

*symptoms of heavy metal poisoning*

Migraines/Headaches: Regular, severe headaches.

Nausea/Vomiting: Upset stomach leading to vomiting.

Brain Fog: Memory issues and confusion.

Mood Swings: Depression and anxiety.

Chronic Pain: Pain in muscles and tendons.

Chronic Malaise: Ongoing discomfort and fatigue.

Gastrointestinal Issues: Digestive problems like diarrhea and bloating.

Anemia: Tiredness, paleness, breathlessness.

Kidney Dysfunction: Reduced urine output, swelling in extremities.

Heart Rhythm Changes: Irregular or fast heartbeats.

Skin Changes: Rashes and irritation

Cardiovascular Disease

Some research has suggested that chelation therapy may be beneficial for certain cardiovascular conditions, such as atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and peripheral artery disease. The proposed mechanism is that chelation can help remove calcium deposits from blood vessels.

According to the study by Hancke and Flytie, out of 65 patients who were on a waiting list for coronary artery bypass surgery for over 6 months, 89% (58 patients) were able to cancel their scheduled surgery after undergoing EDTA chelation therapy. The study also found that among 27 patients who were recommended for limb amputation due to poor peripheral circulation, EDTA chelation therapy was successful in saving 24 of those limbs.

Autism Spectrum Disorder

There is ongoing debate about the use of chelation therapy to treat autism spectrum disorder, based on the hypothesis that heavy metal toxicity may play a role. However, the evidence supporting this application remains limited and controversial.

Alzheimer's Disease

Similarly, chelation has been explored as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease, as some studies have indicated a link between Alzheimer's and excess metal accumulation in the brain. But the efficacy of chelation for this condition is also not firmly established.

Iron Overload Disorders

Chelation therapy can be used to treat conditions characterized by excess iron, such as hemochromatosis or thalassemia, by binding to and removing the excess iron from the body.

It's important to note that while chelation therapy has been used to address these various health issues, its efficacy and safety for many of these applications are still subject to ongoing research and debate within the medical community. Patients should always consult with a qualified healthcare provider before pursuing chelation therapy.

How it work

킬레이션 요법은 혈류에서 독소를 제거하기 위해 화학 용액을 정맥 내(IV) 투여하는 치료법입니다. 이 용액에는 중금속 및 기타 독소와 결합하는 발톱 모양의 분자 구조를 가진 EDTA가 포함되어 있습니다. "킬레이트(chelate)"라는 단어는 "갈퀴다"를 의미하는 그리스어 어근 chele에서 유래되었습니다.
