Chelation

Many patients with chronic ailments have elevated levels of toxins (e.g. pesticides or organic chemicals) or heavy metals (e.g.mercury, lead, arsenic). Often these poisons are tightly bound to the tissue, thus; blood testing is generally not a good means of determining the body’s toxic burden. Instead we use provocative testing using a weight based dose of a heavy metal antidote (chelating agent) and analyze the urine produced afterward to assess the quantity of poison that is then able to be excreted.

Vitality employs safe approaches to detoxification using chelating agents and/or vitamin and herbal detoxifiers to bring these poisons out of the tissue and the body to allow for improvement. Our experience has led us to be expert in a variety of administration techniques varying from oral pills or suspensions, rectal suppositories, creams and intravenous infusions. The decision on what medicine to use and how it will be applied is one that we make with you. We appreciate that chelation is not for everyone and therefore only recommend it as an intervention when we deem it to be medically appropriate and take the time to explain how it should be done.
