Chapters
Chelation therapy is a strategy that we use to help accomplish two goals. First of all, to remove heavy metals from the body. Heavy metals will contribute to deterioration but secondly also to improve cardiovascular health, to improve circulation and to improve the ability of the body to use oxygen most effectively. By doing that, we're able to restore health to areas of the brain, to areas of the heart and the entire body to help to reverse chronic disease. One of the significant factors that contributes to deterioration in our health and chronic disease is the presence of toxins in our environment. Those toxins get into our bodies. These toxins might include things like mercury or lead or cadmium or other heavy metals. With chelation, we're able to bind those toxic metals and help the body eliminate them therefore removing one significant risk factor for chronic disease diseases including heart disease, kidney disease, brain disease, including dementia, Parkinson's for example. And if we can take that risk factor out of play, then we have less moving us in the direction of those kinds of eventual outcomes. Sat.
