Chelation THerapy

 Dr. Raj Rabkhra
Chelation Therapy is a safe and effective method of drawing toxins and metabolic wastes from the blood stream. The chelating agents administered intravenously have been proven to increase blood flow and remove arterial plaque. This treatment can also help reverse arteriosclerosis, prevent heart attacks and strokes.Every organ in your body depends on your circulatory system. Typical problematic manifestations in this system result from a partial blockage of the arteries. Chelation therapy has been used safely and successfully to treat millions of patients in the US for the past fifty years.There are thousands of physicians who recommend and use Chelation therapy for cardiovascular disease and related health problems, following the treatment protocol set by the American College of Advancement in Medicine and the American Board of Chelation Therapy.Chelation Therapy is administered on an out patient basis. It is painless and takes approximately three hours. For heart disorders physicians recommend twenty to thirty infusions for the optimum results, treatments are given one to three times per week. The frequency and the total number of doses will be given according to the disease, the age, and the condition of the patient. The main chelator EDTA is an amino acid that is absorbed by the body in the lowest quantities and 95 to 98 percent is eliminated in twenty-four hours after its administration and the balance in 48 hours. The kidneys mainly carry out the elimination. It is important to note that EDTA is a safe substance and not a toxic agent. At the end of the chelation treatment, the patient will leave the office and will be able to go on with his daily routine. Most patients experience an improvement starting from the fifth to seventh treatment.We do a thorough medical examination and necessary lab tests before starting the Chelation treatment and regular patient evaluations are ongoing. In our clinic individual care is important; as many patients may have symptoms, their Psycho & biochemical individuality may be quite different, and so should their treatment protocol.Beside Chelation many other intravenous treatments including Vitamin C, Vitamins & Minerals, Homeopathic Boluses, Dmso/Dmps, Hydrogen peroxide infusions and ozone treatments, general detoxification and all naturopathic services are offered. We put emphasis on the individual patients needs, along with the standard protocols combining the best of all treatment modalities. A low fat diet of whole foods and appropriate exercise are strongly encouraged, a carefully tailored program of vitamins and nutritional supplements will be recommended. Smoking is strongly discouraged, and alcohol should only be consumed in moderation.Celation treatment is extremely important in three medical areas: 1. Circulatory obstruction such as arteriosclerosis or hardening of the arteries.2. Abnormal calcium deposits, found in arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, bone spurs and osteoarthrits.3. Toxins due to heavy metals, post chemotherapy, drug addiction, alcoholism.Due to its effect on these three categories, we can confirm that chelation has definite benefits for the following disorders:Although damage from the effects of hardening of the arteries may become obvious in a sudden heart attack the underlying process of hardening of the arteries and degeneration will have been developing for years in your arteries.There are many warning signs to look for especially after the age of forty to seventy years, when heart attacks are known to occur more frequently. Deposits of cholesterol in the liver, hardening of the arteries, angina pectoris (heart pain), heart attack or imminent heart attack - treatment and prevention, cardiac contractions and poor cardiac function, arterial embolism, calcifications of cardiac valves, osteoporosis. Acute and chronic lead & other heavy metal intoxication. The control of diabetes & resulting complications, necrotic ulcer, claudicating, impaired blood supply to the legs and feet, osteoarthritis, rheumatic arthritis, and all other arthritis, high blood pressure, blurred vision that comes on sporadically such as transient ischemic attack - a short lived type of local obstruction to the blood supply in the brain. Shortness of breath that causes distress when walking with the need to stop frequently to rest, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, impaired intellectual functions, loss of concentration, memory. All these symptoms are effectively treated with Chelation therapy. Remember two out of five heart attacks result in sudden death often without previous warning. You should take action if you have any of these symptoms. For free information on Chelation or any other therapies we offer in our clinic, please call our office.
