Getting rid of heavy metals from the body can have impact your overall health, says Dr. Anju Mathur runs the Angel Longevity Medical Center in Los Angeles. Chelation therapy, she says, can produce incredible health results by helping to get rid of those toxins.
Chelation is a treatment where you give an individual a substance, usually intravenously, called a chelator, or a chelating agent. In effect, this substance will throw out heavy metals from the body and produce amazing health results. That is really all it is.
There are several types of chelating agents that we use. We use mostly IV chelation agents, not oral or rectal. We do intravenous chelation to get rid of heavy metals in the body which accumulate on the inside lining of the body’s blood vessels. Over time, they can clog, which can cause heart attacks, strokes and other problems.
Cardiovascular Indications
We use chelation therapy for a variety of purposes. Evidence shows that it prevents and helps those who have strokes, senility, diabetic gangrene and cardiovascular disorders. Although the FDA has not approved chelation for cardiovascular indications, it is widely used for that particular purpose because it is effective.
Chelation therapy is also effective in improving the blood circulation in the body in various parts including the brain, the heart and the legs. Some people have also reported better sexual function after chelation as well.
How It Works
The mechanism explaining how chelation works is not completely clear. But there are theories. One is that it dilates the blood vessels so that they stay dilated and the circulation improves. Some doctors think it removes the plaque from the arteries, and that is how it increases circulation. But it is not 100 percent certain about how it works.
We use a powerful antioxidant called EDTA which is delivered through an IV into the veins. As EDTA has antioxidant properties. chelation therapy can be used as an anti-aging treatment, which we use it for as well.
Good for Memory Loss
Chelation also lowers blood pressure and increases circulation in the body, even to the brain, so a person’s memory improves as well through this treatment. We have treated some patients for memory loss, and they have reported incredible results. It is an effective treatment if it is done correctly and properly.
Chelation can increase an individual’s life expectancy, although this is not widely advertised. Essential sources of all types of illness are small particles that build in the body over time and increase the production of free radicals. With chelation therapy, we can make these free radicals disappear, slowing the aging process and making you feel young again.
