Metals can build up to toxic levels in the body over time, causing pain, discomfort, and illness. Sometimes, they enter the body by breathing in polluted air or drinking contaminated water. Heavy metal buildup can also accompany a medical condition, such as a blood disorder or a disease. Some people use chelation therapy to clear these metals from the body and manage their conditions.

What Is Chelation Therapy, and How does It Work?
Chelation therapy is a chemical procedure that removes heavy metals, such as lead, mercury, arsenic, nickel, aluminum, and others, from the body. During the procedure, patients receive intravenous injections containing chelating agents that bind to the metals found in the bloodstream. Once the chelating agents attach to the metals, they create a compound that filters out of the bloodstream and through the kidneys. The compound then exits the body through the urine.
Common chelating agents, also known as chelators, are:
- Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA): A human-made amino acid that detoxes the bloodstream of toxic levels of lead, iron, copper, and other metals. EDTA can also help clear the body of patients of mineral buildup, such as calcium deposits that can cause blockage in the arteries.
- Dimercaprol: This chelator treats toxic levels of heavy metal poisoning. Metals it can remove include mercury, arsenic, and gold. Medical professionals can use it to treat large buildups of copper in the body, which occurs with Wilson’s disease.
- Penicillamine: This is another chelating agent that medical professionals use to treat patients with excess copper in the body. People with Wilson’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, kidney stones, or skin disorders, such as scleroderma, could benefit from penicillamine.
