The Truth About Chelation Therapy

Chelation is the process of cleansing the body of toxins through the use of chelating agents, and chelation provides several benefits.  Treatment with chelating agents is often called chelation therapy, and the treatment provides several benefits in addition to cleansing the body.  Chelation is often used to cleanse heavy metal toxins like mercury which can cause several serious conditions and has been attributed to serious health conditions like autism.  In addition to this, chelation therapy can also be used to reduce blood clotting, remove calcium and plaque, treat cancer, and normalize abnormal cholesterol and HDL levels.  In addition to these benefits, many patients find that following chelation therapy they feel more alert, have improved concentration, and better memory. 

Chelation is safe for people of all ages, and can improve the overall functioning of several systems within the body.  People build up toxins over the course of their lives, and removing these toxins can provide a clean slate for the future. 

Potential Benefits of Chelation

Potential Benefits of Chelation

Chelation is a process through which metallic catalysts are removed from the bloodstream.  Chelation therapy is most often used to treat atherosclerosis and certain other degenerative diseases which affect the circulatory system.  In addition, chelation therapy has also been used to treat autism through removing dangerous metallic toxins, like mercury, from the body.  Chelation also provides several more simple benefits, including removing plaque from the artery walls, smoothening artery walls, and initiating the body’s natural healing processes. 

Patients of chelation therapy have not been able to walk prior to the therapy due to muscle pain, and then can walk following treatment.  This is because chelation improves blood flow to the artery muscles, and allows people to perform everyday activities that would have otherwise been difficult. 

Chelating Agents in Heavy Metal Detoxification

Chelating Agents in Heavy Metal Detoxification

Chelating agents were introduced into medicine in World War 1 when the first compound was used as an antidote to the arsenic-based poison gas, Lewisite.  Since then, chelating agents and chelation therapy have become much more common in practical medicine.  Chelation has been used to treat a number of serious conditions with intermittent successes.  Conditions like autism, atherosclerosis, and mercury poisoning are often treated with chelation therapy, and success has been reported in some of the treatments.

When it comes to treating serious conditions, you want to do all that you can to achieve the best results.  While chelation isn’t guaranteed to work, it is safe, effective, and relatively inexpensive, and if it does work the patient will obviously be much happier than they would have with invasive surgery. 

Chelating Agents in Earth Science

chelationThe process by which heavy metal ions are extracted from minerals and rocks through natural processes is often called chelation.  In earth science, chelating agents, like peptides and sugars, work to remove heavy metals, and cause the movement of these metals in the soil.  In addition, accumulation of metals in plants and smaller organisms can be attributed to chelating agents.  The same idea of chelation that was pioneered by natural processes has also been used to detoxify metals from the human body. 

Utilizing different chelating agents, through chelation the human body can be rid of toxic metals such as lead and mercury.  Chelation treatment has also been used to treat autism, as one of the supposed causes of autism is mercury poisoning.

What is Chelation?

chelation

Chelation is a form of medicine which introduces chelating agents to the body.  These agents then attempt to bind themselves to harmful heavy metals in the body, and remove them through the use of the liver and kidneys.  It is suspected that heavy metals such as mercury trigger symptoms of autism.  Thus chelation therapy is commonly used to treat the effects of autism. 

Chelation therapy’s most prominent use is to treat lead poisoning, though it has also been used to treat heart disease with mixed results.

Clathration

Clathration

Clathration is a less invasive form of chelation therapy in which the clathrating subject—such as PCA-RX, a living bacterial and microbial organism—is ingested in oral form.  The clathrate then finds the toxins in the body, enclosing them in a three-dimensional cage-like complex known as a lattice structure or matrix of cells, attaching three separate types of irreversible bonds to the toxins. 

This has a neutralizing effect on the toxins, keeping them from any further tissue contact as they are flushed out of the body.    PCA-RX is particularly effective for the removal of heavy metals such as lead, mercury and aluminum, plaque, inoculation and pesticide residues from the cells of the blood, lymphatic fluid, and cerebral spinal fluid, the three primary bodily pathways.

Government Puts Money into Chelation

chelation therapyGovernment researchers are pushing to have an official federal study on chelation therapy.  Chelation removes heavy metals from the body which may have been caused by vaccines.

The push for finding the positive effects of chelation is brought on by parents of autistic children who feel that the government isn’t doing enough.  This is also coming as several legislative sessions have ended with some states allowing insurance companies to deny coverage for autistic childre

chelation therapyChelation therapy is the administration of chelating agents to remove heavy metals from the body.

Based on the speculation that heavy metal poisoning may trigger the symptoms of autism, some parents have turned to alternative medicine practitioners who provide chelation therapy. As there are several cases that link the mercury in the vaccine preservative thiomersal causes autism or its symptoms, chelation therapy is a viable treatment for autism.

Autism Treatment and Other Options

Autism Treatment and Other OptionsI found that for my son, interaction seems to be the best treatment for autism.  It’s clear and stressed that there’s no cure for this difficult condition.  I have read some blogs and I’m curious to try Clathration Therapy but I’m a bit reluctant to do so.  My son, who was diagnosed at 3, and I have simply been interacting with each other, trying out a myriad of activities from matching the colors and shapes of blocks to identifying animals and their respective noises.  I can see that there’s a brilliant kid there and I’m not certain how long this type of mental stimulation will allow his growth

My question for you is, do you think there’s a way to attempt Clathration Therapy while simultaneously going about our daily activities? 

Autistic/ASD Play Group Question

Author: mom_to_one, 03 21st, 2008

Chelation TherapyDoes anyone know if there’s a directory of autism or ASD play groups or meetings in different areas?  I live in Seattle and my son has Asperger’s.  We’re confused about where to start looking for play groups or play-dates.  We’d also like to know if there ASD family support groups in different areas.  We’re slowly learning that our son faces a host of challenges in every aspect of life.  He’s already been expelled from 3 schools and we can’t afford a private school.  Luckily our employers work with us on our numerous trips to bring him home from school.  Your chelation therapy strategies help enormously, but he needs social interaction beyond what he gets at school where he undoubtedly faces ridicule and scorn.

We have found a nice school about twenty miles from home that is really putting a lot of effort into helping him.  He spends a lot of time with the special education teacher now when he starts having an outburst.  He’s extremely bright and years ahead of his peers in terms of cognitive abilities.  His reading and mathematics levels are literally well beyond the curriculum of his first grade class.  He struggles terribly with this emotions, though, and it is certainly heartbreaking.

My concern with the playgroups comes from speculation that some ASDs, like Asperger’s, are genetic.  Along that line of reasoning it would be safe to assume that many of the parents also have traits of ASD which may ultimately lead to the parents in the play group not getting along.  Is this a phenomenon anyone has experienced?
