Chronic heavy metal toxicity can cause a variety of diseases in the human body. While we are exposed to many different heavy metals on a daily basis, the heavy metals that most often are found to cause disease are lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic. These heavy metals can cause a myriad of health conditions including Cardiovascular Disease, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalagia and other pain syndromes, Parkinson's Disease, Osteoporosis, endocrine disruption including low Testosterone, symptomatic Menopause, Hypothyroidism and even Diabetes.
These heavy metals are stored throughout the human body, accumulating in virtually any body tissue including the brain, bones, muscles, nerves, and heart. After years of accumulation, inflammation in the body increases and the diseases mentioned above can result.
Chelation therapy uses what is known as a provocative agent, such as DMSA, DMPS or calcium-EDTA, (one or all of these agents will be used depending on the heavy metal(s) that is/are suspected), to essentially pull the heavy metals out of your body tissues and release them into your bloodstream for excretion. While undergoing Chelation treatments, patients of the Phoenix Anti-Aging Clinic are put on a special nutritional program and nutritional supplementation that helps the body perform optimally and detoxify. Through either Intravenous Chelation therapy or oral Chelation therapy, the whole process usually takes a minimum of 10 weeks and occasionally much longer depending on the severity of the heavy metal burden in the body.
Chelation therapy can reduce the overall body load of environmental toxicity, decrease inflammation in the body and reverse chronic, long-standing illnesses.
