Chelation Therapy
Chelation therapy is a medically supervised protocol that uses specific agents to bind (or “chelate”) certain heavy metals so they can be safely eliminated through the urine. At Innergy Integrative Medicine, we tailor chelation plans based on your history, exposure risk, and lab results.
Why consider chelation?
When clinically appropriate, reducing the body’s burden of heavy metals (such as lead or mercury) may help support overall wellbeing. Chelation is best known for treating documented heavy metal toxicity; individual responses vary and depend on the type and extent of exposure as well as overall health.
How chelation works
Chelating agents are molecules that attach to metals and minerals in the bloodstream and tissues. Once bound, the complex is filtered by the kidneys and excreted in urine. Because different agents have different “affinities” for specific metals, we select the medication that best matches your lab profile.
Chelating agents we use
Calcium EDTA – Commonly used to help remove lead and other divalent metals.
DMPS – Often chosen when mercury burden is a concern; may also bind arsenic and other metals.
Administration options
IV infusions and/or oral therapy, depending on your needs, goals, and lab findings.
