If you are concerned about heavy metal buildup in the body or are suffering from arthritis, chelation therapy may be right for you. It’s effective at reducing heavy metal buildup and even treating heavy metal poisoning. It’s also been proven to reduce inflammation and pain associated with arthritis. Our clinic can provide the therapy in a comprehensive infusion therapy package.
We can also provide other services for fully comprehensive healthcare. During a simple appointment, we’ll go over your health goals and your treatment options. We’ll also explain Palm Coast chelation therapy, including the risks, benefits, and procedure in detail.
Does Chelation Therapy Work?
Chelation therapy is a type of IV therapy. It helps the body cleanse itself of excess metals, like iron. The therapy works by utilizing a chelating agent (also known as a chelator) which binds to the excess metals in the patient’s bloodstream. This collects the metals into a compound. Then, the patient gets rid of it during urination.
The chelator used in the therapy will be in the form of either a medication or a natural amino acid. For example, the amino acid, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, or the medicine, dimercaprol, are two options for use as chelators in IV therapy.
Some of the excess metals chelation therapy can help to dispose of are:
- Iron
- Copper
- Mercury
- Lead
- Arsenic
- Nickel
What Are the Benefits of Chelation Therapy?
One major benefit of this therapy is that it removes harmful excess metals from the body. This, in turn, can help to treat a number of harmful conditions, such as:
- General heavy metal buildup in the body, which can lead to certain health issues like heavy metal poisoning
- General heavy metal poisoning, such as poisoning caused by ingesting bits of lead paint, drinking water with mercury in it, or breathing air with arsenic in it
- Kidney disease (damaged, dysfunctional kidneys) which can cause aluminum buildup
- Hemochromatosis which causes iron buildup
- Wilson’s disease which causes copper poisoning
- Blood disorder cases that cause iron buildup
Some research supports that chelation therapy can help heart and blood vessels, improve kidney function, increase brain blood flow, and more, but there is still research to be done on these benefits.
Improved Arthritis Symptoms
Several studies have shown that Chelation therapy can help arthritis sufferers experience significant improvement in their symptoms. One article, published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), showed significant improvements with minimal side effects. Another NCBI case study reported Rheumatoid Arthritis improvement for one individual after just 6 months of treatment.
We know how debilitating arthritis can be. We hope to improve pain, mobility, and overall health through a combination of Chelation therapy and other IV infusions. We will work with you to meet your health goals and improve your quality of life.
Am I a Good Candidate for Palm Coast Chelation Therapy?
You could be an ideal candidate for the therapy if its benefits outweigh the risks. A provider from our clinic will go over these risks with you and run tests for any factors that could increase your risk for negative side effects.
Your provider may also suggest a related, complementary IV therapy, such as lipotropic therapy. You may be a good candidate for both therapies if you want to rid your body of excess metals and infuse it with more vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Together, these treatments can have added benefits that a single therapy couldn’t accomplish alone.
What Is the Process for Chelation Therapy in Palm Coast?
Generally, the procedure is really simple and easy for the patient. The process is like any other IV therapy process, so it involves a provider:
- Synthesizing a formula that includes your chelator (and your vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants if you’re also getting another IV therapy)
- Checking that the formula contains the right amount of the chelator
- Administering the formula through an injection/IV in your arm
- Checking your health and wellness during the process
You can expect the entire process to take about 30 minutes, though your infusion could take up to a couple of hours depending on your treatment. There may also be 30 minutes or more of downtime after the procedure. During this time, your provider will monitor for any side effects or complications and book you for your next appointment.
Typically, the long-term process involves weekly appointments over several weeks or months. This depends on your particular needs.
