Chelation Therapy

Toxins and metal residues tend to build up in our bodies over the years. These toxic substances accumulate in our blood vessels and other internal organs and they are the cause of many health problems. The Chelation Center of Yanhee International Hospital offers the options that you can use to eliminate from your body all toxins and help restore your youth.

The possibility of taking in toxins into the body is very high. These toxins can be from air, food, medicine, clothes, and other sources.

Heavy metal and toxins which accumulate on the wall of the arteries or in the blood will cause arteritis or atherosclerosis affecting the blood circulation. These even cause other diseases such as heart disease, hypertension, myocardial infarction and degeneration of the body organs.

These toxins are unavoidable. However, chelation therapy can help remove those metallic catalysts and cholesterol accumulated in the arteries and protects the body from their bad effects.

Chelation therapy is the utilization of ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetic or EDTA which attaches itself to the metals and removes them from the body.

Persons who can benefit from chelation therapy are those who:

• have coronary artery disease*
• have high blood pressure*
• have myocardial infarction*
• have diabetes, insomnia, weakness*
• have high density of heavy metal in the body
• have improper diet
• have prolonged stress
• are heavy smokers or alcoholic
• are planning to get pregnant
• * (caused by heavy metal and toxin)

The number of sessions required depends on each patient and the effectiveness of the treatment that the patient can benefit. Usually, a patient with coronary artery disease needs approximately 20 sessions.
