Chelation treatment, a term that heart patients must have heard about

Atherosclerosis is a disease in which the arteries undergo the process of hardening. The cholesterols form a layer on the inner walls and faced of the arteries. These all walls are made up of calcium which needs to be removed from there for the treatment. This is a process which gets going with the early phases of the life and with the further age this only worsens. This is mostly found in people who have a habit of junk foods.

With the further deposition of the layer of calcium on the inner walls, the arteries start getting hard. Needless to say that with this happening, the amount of blood that can flow within the arteries reduces to a great extent. Also the amount of work that the heart will have to do increases to a great level thus making it more precarious towards heart attacks. Also the person suffering from it can also suffer from a stroke under which the amount of blood flowing to the brain also reduces.

The treatment of this disease can be done by chelation. These whole processes are called chelation treatments. In this process an amino acid called as EDTA islet into the veins of the victim which reacts with the metals (calcium in this case) and then it takes the waste out via the excretory system. People suffering from the disease are given the treatment and then he is sent to pass the urine out.

The treatment takes hardly a couple of hours to take and can cost near by 100 dollars. This is about only one time treatment. In the first month the numbers of treatments range from few to about thirty. After that the treatment can be done one time every month. But there is a problem with it that the medical companies generally do not provide insurance for it due to one reason or the other.


In order to prove whether or not these treatments do the work, the testimonials from different patients who took it were taken. Many said that the treatment proved to be life saving for them. Also many said that they feel better because of the treatment, the flow of blood in their arteries has changed immensely.
Many associations do not recommend the treatment due to many reasons. Thus it is said that the doctor has to be consulted rather than going for the treatment without talking to anyone.
