  1. Chelation Therapy – Is It Good For You? Dr. Peter Dobie

  2. Chelation therapy consists of the supervision of chelating agents by an expert doctor to take care of harmful metal poisoning. Chelating agents which are also called as chelants are applied to get rid of heavy metals from the human body in situations of poisoning, overdose or accumulation. These agents bind to metals inside the blood and tissues. These develop complexes known as chelates which are inert chemically and it is quite easy to excrete them without interacting any more inside the human body. By doing so, detoxification of toxic metals is done by chelation therapy for example lead, arsenic or mercury. Chelating agents are given by doctors either orally or injected into the body directly through a vein or muscle, but this depends on the type of metals intoxication and the agent used.

  3. Chelation Therapy & Its Uses • Poisoning caused due to heavy materials such as lead, mercury and arsenic • Drugs containing metal ions are overdosed in a human body • Build-up of huge amounts of iron in your body on account of recurring blood transfusions, which include the case of thalassemia patients who need blood transfusions on a frequent basis • Amassment of enormous amounts of copper in the human body because of Wilson's disease, a health condition in which the human body struggles to excrete copper easily

  4. A number of scientific tests have already been done to check the consequences of chelation therapy in other illnesses for example cancer, heart problems and autism. Nevertheless, no good evidence to support the application of this therapy for these disorders has still been found.

  5. Here are a few example of chelating agents: • Organic dithiol compound dimercaprolt was the one of the very first chelators, and it was developed as an antidote for an arsenic-based chemical agent(also called as BAL). • DMSA (Dimercaptosuccinicacid) is the most widespread chelants to treat the poisoning caused by lead, arsenic or mercury. It was created in 1970s. It is a modified edition of BAL, have significantly less negative impacts. • DMPS (Dimercapto-propane-sulfonate) functions as a mercury and arsenic chelator. • ALA (Alpha lipoic acid) is often considered as an effective nutritional health intake which transforms into dithioldihydrolipoicacid.
