What is Chelation Therapy?

Chelation simply means to “grab on to”. Chelation therapy is any means by which substances are utilized to chelate, or grab onto, other substances that are toxic and need to be removed from the body. Chelation therapy can be either intravenous or oral. Generally people understand chelation in terms of utilizing something called EDTA that is utilized to improve circulatory health. EDTA chelation therapy is one of the forms of chelation I offer.
