Frequently asked questions.

What is Chelation?

When metals like lead, mercury, iron, and arsenic build up in your body, they can be toxic. Chelation therapy is a treatment for heavy metal poisoning that removes these metals from your body to prevent them from harming you. Because it can be dangerous with home or over-the-counter remedies, chelation should be performed with a healthcare practitioner. The resulting reset of your biome can be very beneficial, helping to address weight, cognition, stamina and a host of other conditions. In some instances, chelation can be useful in addressing heart disease, autism, and Alzheimer's disease.
