Chelation Therapy

A method used to rid the body of toxins, metabolic wastes, and unnecessary and toxic metals from the blood stream. It is often used to reverse the process of artherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) or as an alternative to bypass surgery and angioplasty, and can also prevent heart attacks and strokes. It is accomplished by administering chelating agents into the bloodstream which, among other things, increase blood flow and remove arterial plaque.
