Detoxify and Revitalize with Chelation Therapy at Dr. Ozone

Chelation therapy is a sophisticated treatment designed to detoxify the body by removing heavy metals and other toxins that can impact overall health. At Dr. Ozone, our Chelation Therapy offers a targeted approach to support your body’s natural detoxification processes, enhance cardiovascular health, and improve overall well-being.

What is Chelation Therapy?

Chelation therapy is a medical treatment that involves the administration of chelating agents to bind and remove heavy metals and toxins from the body. The therapy uses intravenous (IV) infusions to deliver chelating agents directly into the bloodstream, where they bind to harmful substances such as lead, mercury, and arsenic. These bound toxins are then excreted from the body through the urine, promoting a cleaner and healthier internal environment.

Medical Uses of Chelation Therapy

Chelation therapy is primarily used in the treatment of:

• Heavy Metal Poisoning:
  • Lead Poisoning: One of the most common uses of chelation therapy is to treat lead poisoning, which can occur through exposure to contaminated water, paint, or soil.
  • Mercury Poisoning: Chelation can be used to remove mercury, potentially acquired from contaminated fish or industrial exposure.
  • Arsenic and Cadmium Poisoning: Less common, but chelating agents can also treat these metal toxicities.
• Iron Overload (Hemochromatosis):
  • In conditions where the body stores too much iron, such as hemochromatosis or frequent blood transfusions, chelation therapy can be used to remove excess iron.
• Copper Overload (Wilson’s Disease):
  • Chelation therapy is also used to treat Wilson’s disease, a genetic condition where the body accumulates excessive copper.

Why is Chelation Therapy Important?

• Remove Heavy Metals: Helps eliminate harmful heavy metals from the body that can accumulate and contribute to various health issues.
• Support Cardiovascular Health: May improve cardiovascular function by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation caused by heavy metal exposure.
• Enhance Detoxification: Supports the body’s natural detoxification processes, promoting overall health and vitality.
• Improve Well-being: Contributes to better health outcomes and a sense of rejuvenation by reducing toxic load and improving internal balance.

Key Components of Chelation Therapy:

• EDTA: A common chelating agent used to bind and remove heavy metals from the body.
• DMSA: works by binding (chelating) to heavy metal ions in the bloodstream through its thiol groups. Once DMSA binds to the metal, the resulting DMSA-metal complex is more water-soluble, allowing the body to excrete it through urine. This process helps reduce the toxic effects of the metal.

What to Expect After the Treatment:

• Reduced Toxic Load: Many patients experience a reduction in symptoms related to heavy metal toxicity, such as fatigue or cognitive issues.
• Improved Health: Expect to feel a sense of revitalization and improved overall well-being as your body becomes cleaner and more balanced.
• Ongoing Recommendations: Our team will provide guidance on maintaining health and supporting your body’s natural detoxification processes.
