Description
Another intravenous agent utilized by some doctors for mercury detoxification is named DMPS (2,3-Dimercapto-1-propanesulfonic acid). There’s also an oral chelating agent named Succimer (Dimercaptosuccinic acid, also called DMSA), which can be used for treating lead poisoning and can also be employed by some doctors to eliminate mercury from the body.
Chelation therapy is still the undisputed treatment-of-choice for lead poisoning, even in children with toxic accumulations of lead in their bodies as a consequence of ingesting leaded paint from cribs, toys, or even walls.
Thus far, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves chelation treatment just for heavy metal poisoning, such as iron and lead poisoning. Nevertheless research supports chelation therapy might help reverse chronic degenerative diseases like atherosclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, autism, arthritis and might even lessen the chance of cancer.
Although not FDA approved, many medical professionals believe that since EDTA can lessen the total amount of calcium from the bloodstream, chelation may be used as a treatment for atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). This originates from the fact that there’s calcium found inside the plaques of diseased blood vessels and also chelation is a less costly alternative to coronary artery bypass surgery, angioplasty and other traditional medical treatments.
Many conditions treated by chelation are more chronic in character growing over several years. That is why these chronic diseases require lengthy courses of therapies, which consists of 20 to 50 individual infusions, based on each patient’s individual status.
Each treatment takes approximately two hours and patients typically get one to three treatments per week. EDTA is relatively non-toxic and secure with minimal danger of severe side effects. Sometimes, patients may suffer minor discomfort at the site where the needle enters the vein.
Some briefly experience mild nausea, dizziness, or headache immediately after therapy, however in the huge majority of cases, eating a proper meal prior to chelation and a snack throughout the infusion will alleviate those minor symptoms.
