How to Treat Heart Disease With Chelation Therapy

Chelation therapy is the process of removing undesirable metals from the body by taking an oral or IV medication that has the ability to grab them. Chelation therapy uses an amino acid known as EDTA to extract lead or calcium buildups that may occur in the body. Chelation therapy has been used as an alternative treatment for arteriosclerosis and heart disease.

Instructions

• 1

  Find a practitioner who administers chelation therapy. You may need to seek out a holistic medical professional if your family doctor does not perform the treatment. There are chelation centers available in some areas of the country.

• 2

  Get a full medical workup, including a physical. The practitioner will take your medical history and run tests that examine your heart and the rest of the circulatory system. The results will be compared to tests taken after the chelation therapy.

• 3

  Work with the practitioner to develop a treatment schedule. You probably need to get the chelation therapy administered three times a week. Most centers give patients an IV drip over the course of several hours.

• 4

  Continue treatments over the recommended period of time. To treat heart disease, your practitioner may recommend a 10-week course of therapy.

• 5

  Undergo follow-up tests. You need medical exams over the course of chelation therapy to note improvement in your circulatory system as well as to monitor kidney function.
