Chelation Therapy
Removing heavy metals from deep within your body's tissue.
Chelation Therapy
Chelation IV therapy is used to remove heavy metal toxins that have found homes in places like your brain, glands (such as pituitary, thyroid, adrenals, ovaries, and testes), liver, bone marrow, kidneys, blood vessel walls, and fat cells.
Testing can be done to determine your levels of toxicity followed by a customized detox plan that is best for you. Heavy metals can damage the immune system, cause cancer, damage kidneys, cause heart disease, and cause a number of neurologic problems, such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, Alzheimer's dementia, and autism spectrum disorders. Most people who undergo chelation do so not to address any specific symptoms they are currently aware of, but to prevent serious diseases that would shorten their life or impair its quality.
Four Reasons People Choose Chelation Therapy
Chelation is one of the most direct ways we can help your body clear heavy metals that it has been holding on to, sometimes for years.
Benefits of Chelation Therapy
Every plan is personal, and results vary from person to person. Here is what chelation can help support.
How Do I Know If I Have Toxins?
If you are alive, you have toxins. The question is, how are they affecting you, and how might they affect you in the future.
We identify classes of toxins and relative severity of toxicity using a variety of indirect tests and biofeedback. For heavy metals, we infer what is still in your body by measuring metals released from your body during an IV chelation challenge test.
The initial chelation challenge test is a great place to start getting the answers you're looking for and the customized plan you deserve.
Clear What Your Body Has Been Carrying
Heavy metals build up quietly over a lifetime. A guided chelation plan can help your body release them, so it can put its energy back into healing.
How Chelation Therapy Works
The word chelation comes from the Greek word for claw. A chelating agent grabs on to certain metals in your blood and tissues and holds them, so your kidneys can filter them out in your urine.
We offer both IV and oral chelation. IV chelation is given slowly through a small IV while you relax in a comfortable chair. Oral chelation may be used on its own or between IV sessions, depending on your plan.
Because chelating agents can also bind helpful minerals, we pay close attention to mineral and nutrient support throughout your care. We review your health history and lab work before we recommend chelation, and we keep checking in as your plan moves forward.
Healing With Chelation Therapy
Chelation may be considered as part of a broader plan for people with concerns such as these. We will talk with you about whether it fits your situation.

It depends on your test results and your goals. Chelation is usually done as a series, and we adjust the plan as we retest and see how your body responds.
When chelation is guided by testing and supervised by a trained provider, it is generally well tolerated. Because chelating agents can also bind helpful minerals, we monitor you closely and support your mineral levels throughout your care.
