What is chelating therapy?

Chelarage therapy is a type of medical therapy, most often used in traditional medicine to treat various types of toxic metal or substance poisoning. Practice began during the First World War when soldiers exposed to Arsen gas compounds received injections of substances called Dimercaprol. This mostly ineffective treatment combined the dimeraprrol on the arsenic particles in the bloodstream, allowing them to remove the liver. Major side effects were often present on Dimeraprrol. At that time, the doctors replaced the dimeraprrol with a cloth that would be connected with lead. Dimeraprol, also called Bal, was still the only chelating therapy for arsenic poisoning. However, scientists have gradually developed a new chemical acid DimereraPosukin (DMSA), which had much less side effects. Today, DMSA is usually the best treatment for removal from various toxins and metals and most commonly used in Western medicine. Has little side effects, although one must be monitored for the development of ultra -low calcium levels called hypokaneIE, which can lead to a heart attack. DMSA removes other important metals except toxic, so blood chemistry levels are often checked as therapy continues.

In general, chelating therapy is given through an intravenous line, although some types of chelators (binding substances) can be used orally. EDTA, a conventional chelator, can be administered rectally than orally, which may reduce the risk of vomiting. Depending on the amount of toxins ingested, it may be necessary to repeat therapy and stay in the hospital may be indicated when severe poisoning occurred.

There are several types of cheral therapy that are considered to be an experimental or alternative. For example, some alternative drugs indicate the use of Cilantro as a chelating agent to routine removal of "toxins" from the blood. There are few scientific evidence that this therapy extends life or promotes health. Interesting study of StudovaNo chelating therapy is the use to reduce the arteries (atherosclerosis).

There is some suggestion that chelating therapy can help remove the accumulation of arteries and support greater heart health, but some important organizations have claimed that it does not benefit any benefit. Such therapies often offer alternative or complementary doctors and are not used by standard cardiologists. Organizations such as American Medical Association, American Heart Association and American Food and Drug Administration condemn this method and suggest that the use of borelers as "viable" methods of atherosclerosis is at best of questionable practice and questioning the ethics of people producing or advocating these chelates.
