| compounds injected into the blood stream, muscle or | | | | helps in the removal of calcium from sign that build-up |
| taken by mouth to bond metals that are present in | | | | in the veins .Chelation treatment also provide some |
| toxic concentrations so they can be excreted normally | | | | benefits to the patients of atherosclerosis. These |
| in urine from the body. Chelation treatment is medically | | | | benefits are such as; |
| signified when toxic levels of heavy metals such as; | | | | Blocks calcium absorption; |
| arsenic, mercury, lead and iron are present. While iron | | | | Normalizes cholesterol and HDL levels; |
| is a very important metal the other metals lead | | | | Reduces blood clots; |
| mercury and arsenic are not necessary by the body. | | | | Chelation therapy has proven to be very useful in the |
| Mercury toxicity almost always takes place with high | | | | treatment of heavy metal poisoning, as it removes and |
| risk occupational contacts including dental workers, | | | | binds mercury and lead from the system. Lead |
| thermometers, and manufacturers of batteries, | | | | chelation therapy can also be used to remove all |
| taxidermy, tannery work and contaminated seafood. | | | | traces of heavy metals and lead from the system as |
| Lead toxicity most commonly related with young | | | | part of a detoxifying method. Many scientists suggest |
| children exposed to old houses with lead paint chips or | | | | that the beneficial effect of chelation treatment is from |
| dust. Occupational exposures welders, smelters, | | | | the removal of metallic catalysts that causes |
| battery reclamation and soldering are also a risk. Lead | | | | excessive free radical proliferation. Many patients who |
| screening for children has now become a standard | | | | could not walk due to muscle pain have reported that |
