Heavy Metal Toxicity
Detox from Heavy Metals
If you’ve experienced heavy metal toxicity, we offer a myriad of integrative therapies to help detox your body and get you feeling good again.
Chelation therapy and EBOO therapy are our main treatments to help rid your body of metals that can cause harm.
What is Heavy Metal Toxicity?
Heavy metal toxicity can occur through exposure to contaminated air, water, food, or industrial materials.
Common heavy metal toxicity sources include:
Lead-based paints
Mercury in fish
Arsenic in drinking water
Industrial environments like mining and manufacturing
Symptoms of Heavy Metal Toxicity
Heavy metals, such as lead, mercury, and arsenic, can have severe toxic effects on your body. They can interfere with vital biological processes, leading to neurological damage, cognitive deficits, and developmental delays, especially in children.
Chronic exposure can cause kidney and liver damage, cardiovascular problems, and weakened immune function.
Common heavy metal toxicity symptoms include:
Fatigue
Headaches
Cognitive deficits
Gastrointestinal issues
Joint pain
Long-term exposure increases the risk of serious conditions like cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.
Heavy Metal Detox with Chelation Therapy
The benefits of chelation therapy for heavy metal toxicity include binding and removing heavy metals from your body, reducing toxicity levels, improving organ function, and alleviating symptoms like cognitive deficits, fatigue, and gastrointestinal distress. Chelation therapy can also help prevent long-term complications associated with heavy metal exposure.
You might be a candidate for chelation therapy if you’ve been diagnosed with heavy metal toxicity, such as lead or mercury toxicity. We can determine your eligibility through specific tests and evaluations.
Discuss your health history, current conditions, and treatment goals with us to determine whether chelation therapy is appropriate.
How Does Chelation Therapy Eliminate Heavy Metal Toxicity?
Chelation therapy is performed by administering chelating agents that remove heavy metals from your body. These agents bind to metals like lead, mercury, and arsenic, which exit via urine. Treatment options include oral and IV therapies.
How Many Chelation Therapy Sessions are Needed?
For IV chelation we typically recommend 20 sessions of treatment before retesting heavy metal status. However, this depends on your condition and response to treatment. Also, by adding EBOO therapy and oral chelation, the amount of IV chelation needed to reduce heavy metals significantly decreases.
Most IV chelation treatments take about 60-90 minutes and are administered 1x/week.
EBOO therapy takes about 90 minutes. A typical EBOO therapy protocol is 1x/month for 3 sessions.
How Will I Feel After Treatment?
After undergoing chelation therapy, you may feel more energetic and experience a reduction in symptoms associated with heavy metal toxicity. However, the specific changes vary depending on your health status and toxicity levels.
Your provider monitors you for potential side effects, such as kidney stress, as you undergo treatment under their medical supervision to ensure safety and effectiveness.
