Sometimes metals such as mercury, arsenic, iron and lead can build up in the body and become toxic – this is known as “heavy metal poisoning” and happens over time as your body cannot fully rid itself of these toxic metals. You can get heavy metal poisoning in a number of ways, such as breathing polluted air, drinking polluted water and ingesting bits of lead paint.
To help break down these metals, there is a process called Chelation Therapy – this is used to bind medicine to the metals in the blood, which is then disposed of in urine.
Other health conditions such as Wilson’s disease, hemochromatosis, chronic kidney disease and thalassemia can all cause a build up of certain metals in the body which would require Chelation therapy to remove. We have a wide range of information about natural treatments such as EDTA chelation supplements and heavy metal chelation supplements which work to ensure Chelaton therapy is successful.
