Chelation Therapy
EDTA infusions for heavy metal burden and vascular support.
What is Chelation Therapy?
Chelation uses EDTA, a binding agent delivered by slow infusion, to attach to certain metals in the bloodstream so they can be cleared through the kidneys. Because the process places demand on kidney function and mineral balance, we require baseline laboratory testing and repeat monitoring across the course.
Key benefits
- 01Targets identified heavy metal burden
- 02Baseline and interval laboratory monitoring included
- 03Mineral replacement planned alongside the course
- 04Slow, comfortable infusion protocol
- 05Course length set by test results, not a fixed package
How it works
The sequence, from first records to follow-up
- 01
Testing before treating
A provoked or unprovoked urine and blood panel establishes whether a metal burden actually exists. We do not chelate on suspicion.
- 02
Kidney function check
Chelating agents are cleared renally and mobilised metals pass through the kidneys. Impaired function changes or cancels the plan.
- 03
Agent selection
EDTA, DMPS and DMSA bind different metals with different profiles. The agent follows the test result, not the other way around.
- 04
Infusion series
Sessions run weekly or fortnightly across a defined course, each infusion taking two to three hours at a controlled rate.
- 05
Mineral replacement and retest
Chelation removes essential minerals alongside toxic ones, so replacement is built in, and the panel is repeated to confirm the burden is falling.
What to expect
Before
Eat beforehand and expect kidney function to be re-checked periodically through the course. Bring your test results if the testing was done elsewhere.
During
A slow infusion, generally uneventful. Rate is kept deliberately low because faster chelation drops calcium and causes symptoms.
After
Tiredness for the rest of the day is common. You will pass more urine than usual as mobilised metals clear.

Chelation Therapy — Questions Patients Ask
Should everyone have chelation as a detox?
No, and we decline these requests regularly. Without a documented metal burden, chelation strips essential minerals for no benefit and carries real risk.
How do you know I have heavy metal exposure?
Through laboratory testing, correlated with your occupational and environmental history. A symptom list alone is not sufficient grounds.
Does chelation treat cardiovascular disease?
The evidence is limited and contested. Where we use it in a cardiovascular context, it is alongside your cardiologist's treatment and never as a replacement for it.
What minerals do I lose?
Zinc, magnesium, copper and calcium in particular. Replacement is scheduled between sessions rather than left to chance.
How long is a full course?
Commonly ten to twenty sessions, but the number is set by retesting rather than fixed in advance.
