Oral Chelation Therapy – Now Available

Chelation is a commonly accepted method of heavy metal and toxin removal in which a special chemical compound called a chelate – such as dimercaptosuccinic acid, dimercaptopropane sulfonate, or ethylene diaminetetraacetic acid – traditionally intravenously. The chelate finds and forms a single attachment to the toxin with one reversible ionic bond. With the bond intact, the toxin is seized, pulled off the cell and carried away from the body.

However, the toxin is not neutralized during this process and is potentially able to attach to other cells on its way out. Conventional chelation also has a harder time clearing heavy metals from cells (due to having only one method of bonding to the toxin) and some chelating substances even remove needed minerals from the body with the toxins, resulting in some adverse side effects.

Enter oral chelation therapy, (also known as Clathration) . This is a unique form of chelation therapy in which the clathrating substance is given orally. This clathrate then finds and encloses the toxin in a three-dimensional cage-like inclusion complex (also known as a lattice structure or matrix) using three different types of irreversible bonds. These bonds attach to and completely encapsulate the toxin.

Oral chelation therapy essentially neutralizes the toxin to keep it from coming into contact with any other bodily tissues as it is carried from the body. In this way, the unnatural contaminant has no way of re-attaching to and damaging the body as it is flushed out. This method is especially effective against heavy metals.
