How Detox, IV Chelation Treatment Works
Toxins can enter your body from your diet and the environment, but the human body naturally features systems in place that are designed to eliminate toxic metal. However, dietary imbalances and problems caused by the growth of cancerous tissue may impair your ability to properly remove toxins from your body. Maintaining proper detox is important to your health, immune system, and may support your overall healing.
Detox treatment involves the use of vitamins and minerals via oral supplements or intravenous infusion to promote detoxification in the kidney, liver, and lymphatic system. These are the main organs and organ systems involved in removing heavy metal toxicity from the body. IV chelation therapy is one form of detox we administer that involves the infusion of chemical substances that bind to certain excess toxic heavy metals and minerals in the bloodstream and removes them from the body.
How Detox Treatment is Administered
Alternative detox treatments can vary based on your specific needs and symptoms as well as the severity of your cancer for all patients. You may be instructed to take an oral supplementation of vitamins and minerals. You may also receive an IV infusion, which introduces nutrients and other substances directly into your bloodstream and bypasses the digestive system. IV Chelation therapy may include an IV drip containing ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA), a synthetic amino acid that can help to remove heavy metal poisoning and toxic heavy metals such as iron, lead, copper, and calcium from the blood.
