Chelation Therapy
Chelation therapy is a procedure used to remove heavy metals (including
lead, mercury, cadmium and others) from the body.
Cancer treatments come in many forms, with Chemotherapy, Immunotherapy, and Radiotherapy being the most widely used. The medical practitioner often chooses a combination of these therapies based on the patient’s individual needs and condition.
In addition to these treatments, chelation therapy is an effective option for removing harmful metals, such as mercury, arsenic, or lead, from the body of cancer patients. These heavy metals are known to be toxic and can be life-threatening to the patient. Chelation therapy works by injecting a synthetic solution into the body, which helps to flush out the metals through urination. The solution is made up of a mixture of nutritional supplements and chemicals.
Causes of Cancer
There are many causes of cancer. Age, habits such as smoking and drinking, family
cancer history, a harmful environment, wrong diet and exercise regimen, and an
unhealthy and stressful lifestyle may be risk factors for cancer.
In our daily lives, harmful metals can accumulate in our bodies and cause permanent damage if we do not remove them. Sometimes, our natural excretory system fails to flush these metals out. Large quantities of metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic, aluminum, uranium, and cadmium can harm us greatly.
Heavy metal poisoning can be fatal too. People can imbibe these metals through
vaccines, processed food, toxic water, metal-laced ointments or salves, and more. The
primary harm of this is the deregulation and suppression of the immune system. Low
immunity can lead to the body getting infected by some illnesses easily, and the
treatment of these illnesses may not be as effective as it should be as the immune system
has a reduced function.
So, the solution lies in removing these harm-causing metals from the body. Chelation
therapy can be of help in cases of metal poisoning. In doing so, the body's immunity can
improve, and it can fend off any attack of infections from viruses, bacteria, or other
pathogens more vigorously.
How Does Chelation Therapy Work?
The treatment plan for Chelation Therapy is to attach specific drugs called chelators to
the metals in the human body. These chelators have the property of binding to the
metal. A few examples of chelators are dimercaprol, deferoxamine, succimer, edetate
calcium disodium, and penicillamine. The medical practitioners will choose the
chelators depending on what metal is causing the problem.
During the therapy, these drugs get induced into the body via an intravenous tube or pill
form. On administration, the drug attaches itself to the metals present in the blood and
forms a stable compound. This combination then gets filtered out through the kidney
function and gets expelled during urination. The amount of time taken to remove the
metals from the body on the type of metal poisoning and the treatment process. The
body gets cleansed of the metal poisoning, which has acted as an impediment to its
immune system.
After the unwanted metals get removed, the immune system starts rebuilding itself and becomes strong enough to fight off infection. The process involves administering intravenous injections over several weeks to produce the desired effect and cure the body of metal poisoning completely. The doctors will advise some dietary changes during the process, which helps remove the metal from the body and to avoid further exposure.

Cautions to Use Chelation Therapy
Expert training is crucial for doctors who perform chelation therapy, as the treatment can be dangerous if not done correctly. Additionally, this therapy may have various side effects, which is why the doctor must conduct all necessary tests before starting the treatment and continuously monitor the patient during and after the process to avoid any complications. It is important to administer the appropriate dose of the treatment drug.
Chelators have the ability to bind to metals. When used for metal poisoning, these drugs can attach to both unwanted and essential metals in the body and remove them. However, this process can cause a deficiency of essential metals in the body, leading to other disorders. In these cases, the doctor must carefully monitor the patient and replenish the essential metals through diet or other means to maintain a proper balance of metals in the body.

Benefits of Chelation Therapy
Chelation therapy may not yet be proven successful in metal poisoning treatment in
some situations. Indeed, it is considered to be safe, effective and well-tolerated in many
other situations too. One of the advantages is it is non-invasive and helps the body get
rid of metal poisoning and protects the body from its harmful effects.
The therapy protects the organs from the harmful effects due to metal deposition. Yes, a few doctors who practice alternative medicine may use this therapy to treat disorders such as autism, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and so on. The success of chelation therapy is not yet proven for treating these disorders, so not many medical practitioners advise patients to undergo it to treat them now.

Chelation Therapy Side Effects
This treatment can cause some side effects, but they can get managed by giving the
appropriate treatment on time. Undergoing chelation therapy only under medical
supervision is always advisable to avoid all its side effects. And if the process fails due to
using over-the-counter medicine, it can become fatal.
The common side effects can be tingling or burning at the injection site, headache,
chills, fever, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. But there can be some critical side effects
like seizures, respiratory failure, drop in blood pressure, allergic reaction, reduced
heartbeat, and many more. Yes, in some rare cases, the therapy can turn out to be fatal
or cause a permanent disorder in the body.
Also, pregnant ladies, people with kidney disorders and children are advised against
using chelation therapy.
To avoid any complications, when you are diagnosed with metal toxicity, it is advisable
to contact a trained medical practitioner to use chelation therapy for its treatment and
undergo it under their guidance.
