Chelation TherapyThe word Chelation comes from the Greek word for ‘claw’ and means ‘to seek out and bind’. In Chelation therapy a man made amino acid known as EDTA is administered to patients with the aim of removing poisonous metals from the body by converting them to an inert form which allows them to be excreted.Chelation therapy has been used to treat various conditions from metal poisoning, to heart disease and stroke and has even been used to treat autism.This therapy is somewhat controversial. Advocates swear by it, and there are case studies in which patients have claimed to feel better, but others are cautious about possible side effects including kidney failure, low blood pressure and convulsions.
