Chelation therapy safely reduces or eliminates symptoms caused by hardening of the arteries ( arteriosclerosis ), such as chest pain ( angina pectoris ) and heart attack ( myocardial infarction ). Chelation therapy also improves complaints resulting from cerebral artery blockage ( stroke, TIA ) and narrowing of the leg arteries ( claudication ) without surgery. Conventional treatments for arteriosclerotic disease tend to only treat symptoms, through medication or surgery; chelation therapy aims to eliminate the actual cause.
Chelation therapy is a safe, non-surgical treatment, which uses a man-made substance called EDTA given intravenously. Along with other benefits, EDTA removes calcium buildup ( plaque ) in the arteries, consequently reducing or eliminating the cause of the above conditions. Numerous patients experience an increase in energy and vitality as a consequence of the treatment.
