Learn more about chelation therapy and other treatments you can combine with it at Balance Of Life Clinic.

What is Heavy Metal Chelation?

Heavy metal toxicity is caused by the build-up of metals like lead, mercury, iron, and arsenic in your body. This can lead to health problems like gastrointestinal and immune system dysfunction, skin lesions, birth defects, and more. If you suspect heavy metal toxicity, get tested with heavy metal testing at Balance Of Life Clinic or your physician to confirm or exclude the diagnosis. If you do get diagnosed with heavy metal toxicity, chelation is a method of treating it. Heavy metal chelation therapy uses a medication called EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid). This medicine is administered with an IV in your arm and binds to the metals in your blood, expelling them when you urinate. Chelation therapy may take multiple sessions to decrease your metal levels sufficiently, but you’ll feel more energetic and be in less pain as the process works.

At Balance Of Life Clinic, we provide chelation therapy to clients throughout northeast Ohio to treat heavy metal toxicity and get them back to feeling healthy as a whole. Studies have also shown that chelation therapy can have beneficial effects on conditions like Fibromyalgia, Diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and more. However, it’s essential you only get chelation done by trained professionals and don’t use over-the-counter chelation products. Untrained and unsafe chelation can lead to a deficiency in important minerals and metals your body needs to function and can cause serious damage. The staff at Balance Of Life Clinic always examines and tests our patients before chelation therapy to ensure it’s a suitable treatment and will explain the benefits and risks associated with it.

Treatments to Combine with Chelation

Heavy metal toxicity can wreak havoc on your health and decrease your quality of life. Chelation therapy is a promising treatment to help decrease your symptoms and improve your health, but it does take many treatments. During the process, it’s best to combine other treatments with chelation to stimulate the natural self-healing mechanisms of the body. At Balance Of Life Clinic, we focus on the body as a whole and will do what we can to help your whole person benefit. Additional IV therapies you can receive from us that will complement chelation treatment include:

• Vitamin C IV to boost your immune system 
• Hydrogen peroxide IV to address pulmonary issues and infections
• Glutathione IV to reduce inflammation 
• Ocular IV to treat macular degeneration
• Hydrochloric acid IV to treat infectious issues
• Plaquex IV to lower blood pressure and cholesterol and improve kidney and mental functions and sexual potency
• Various nutritional IVs

Combining one or more of these therapies with chelation can help your body heal faster and prevent further health issues. The providers at Balance Of Life Clinic have a focus on proactive prevention of health issues and are dedicated to keeping our patients’ whole bodies and minds in balance.
