Chelation therapy: Holistic Health Therapy Dictionary on Chelation therapy

CHELATION THERAPY: typically administered in an osteopathic or medical doctorÕs office, chelation therapy is a series of intravenous injections of the synthetic amino acid EDTA, designed to detoxify the body. Often used to treat arteriosclerosis, angina, AlzheimerÕs disease.

 

EDTA stands for ethylenediaminetetruacetic acid (an amino acid). FDA approved for removing lead and other heavy metals from the bloodstream. One theory holds that chelation removes the calcium in arterial plaque; another suggests that EDTA works as an antioxidant. Proponents say that chelation also reverses gangrene, relieves the pain associated with lupus and arthritis, and reverses memory loss.

Chelation therapy: Encyclopedia II - Lipoic acid - Chelation therapy

Lipoic acid (or α-lipoic acid) is able to pass the blood-brain barrier and is putatively used for detoxification of mercury attached to the brain cells. It can mobilise bound mercury into the blood stream as it is a mercaptan (sulfur compound which readily binds to the mercury). In the blood stream, another chelator such as dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) or methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is used to transfer mercury safely into the urine for excretion. Neither DMSA nor MSM can cross the blood-brain barrier, which is why both lipoic acid and DMS ...

Chelation therapy: Encyclopedia II - Chelation therapy - Uses in conventional medicine

Heavy metal poisoning is an uncommon medical condition that can have significant effects on nearly every organ system [1].

The buildup of iron ...

Chelation therapy: Encyclopedia - Quackery

Quackery is the practice of promoting medicine which lacks evidence of effectiveness. The word derives from quacksalver, an archaic word originally of Dutch origin (spelled kwakzalver in contemporary Dutch), meaning "boaster who applies a salve." It is often difficult to distinguish between those who knowingly promote unproven medical therapies and those who are mistaken as to their effectiveness. In libel cases in US courts against people who accused others of being guilty of quackery, the co ...

Chelation therapy: Encyclopedia - Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a water-soluble nutrient essential for life, used by the human body for many purposes. It is one of a number of such key nutrients called vitamins. To the best of scientific knowledge, all animals and plants synthesize their own vitamin C, except for humans and a small number of other animals, including, apes, guinea pigs, the red-vented bulbul, a fruit-eating bat and a species of trout. This has led a minority of scientists, most notably Linus Pauling to conclude that failure to produce the chemical by an animal s ...
