Chelation Therapy: What You Need to Know
The Hidden Dangers of Lead in Your Body
Lead exposure is a silent threat that can significantly harm your heart, brain, and overall health. For over 5,000 years, humans have been smelting lead, and with the Industrial Revolution, lead production surged. Today, lead is everywhere: in the air, water, and soil. We breathe it, eat it, and drink it. Alarmingly, the average lead levels in humans are now similar to those during the Roman Empire, about 1,000 times higher than natural levels.
Why Is This a Problem?
Research reveals the devastating impact of lead on your health:
Brain Damage: A study of veterans found that higher lead levels correlated with decreased IQ and cognitive function.
Heart Disease: According to The Lancet, lead exposure is linked to over 400,000 deaths annually from heart disease in the U.S.
Other Health Risks: Elevated lead levels are also associated with strokes, high blood pressure, and even cancer.
FAQs
Why Are Blood Tests Are Not Enough?
Lead doesn’t stay in your blood for long—it gets deposited into bones and tissues, where it silently erodes your health. Traditional blood tests can’t measure this hidden threat. Instead, a total body lead evaluation is essential.
How Is Body Lead Evaluated?
Chelation Infusion: You’ll receive a gentle infusion of calcium EDTA, an FDA-approved agent that draws lead out of hiding and into the bloodstream for elimination.
Urine Collection: After the infusion, you’ll collect a urine sample over six hours to measure how much lead is being excreted.
Lab Testing: Your sample is sent to a lab, with results available in about two weeks. A healthcare provider will help you interpret the findings.
Are There Risks?
A large study of thousands of patients found that the side effects of chelation were no greater than those of a placebo. It’s a safe and effective treatment for improving long-term health.
What Happens After My Lead Level Is Tested?
If lead levels are high, chelation therapy can help. Studies show our protocols can reduce total body lead by an average of 38%. Treatment plans are personalized based on your lead level, age, and health status. After completing treatment, retesting ensures progress is being made.
Is Any Lead Level Safe?
No. Lead is a pure toxin, and health risks increase with exposure. By reducing your lead levels, you lower your risk for heart disease, strokes, dementia, and other illnesses. After initial treatment, a maintenance plan will keep lead from re-accumulating.
What Else Does Chelation Do?
Chelation therapy doesn’t just remove lead:
It reduces cadmium, a carcinogenic heavy metal.
It restores essential micronutrients, antioxidants, and high-dose vitamin C, which support cellular health and vitality.
This dual action helps your body eliminate toxins while replenishing nutrients critical for overall wellness.
Why Everyone Should Get Tested
Knowing your lead level is as important as monitoring blood pressure, cholesterol, and body fat. Early action is key. Reducing lead levels is a cornerstone of preventive health and a vital step toward maintaining a strong heart, resilient brain, and youthful vitality.
