Any unexplained or persistent symptoms which affect your heart, head or limbs should be explored for circulatory blockage.  If you have chest pain or leg pain on walking; shortness of breath; painful, discolored feet; transient loss of vision; paralysis; or rapidly failing memory, you may need or can benefit from Chelation therapy.

Chelation therapy is a safe, effective, and relatively inexpensive treatment to restore blood flow in victims of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) without surgery.  Atherosclerosis is caused when plaque forms in the arteries.   Plaques are composed of fibrous tissue, cholesterol and calcium. Blockage of blood vessels reduces the flow of blood, starving vital organs for oxygen and other nutrients.  Cell walls then become leaky, allowing excessive calcium, sodium and other elements to enter. When calcium accumulates to a critical point, deposits form, like concrete.

Chelation therapy promotes health by correcting the major underlying cause of arterial blockage.

Chelation therapy involves the intravenous infusion of a prescription medicine called ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA).   EDTA removes undesirable and toxic metals from the body, such as lead, mercury and cadmium.  EDTA normalizes the distribution of most metallic elements in the body, and improves calcium and cholesterol metabolism.  It eliminates metallic catalysts which cause damage to cell membranes by producing "oxygen free radicals".

 EDTA helps to prevent the production of harmful free radicals, allowing leaky and damaged cell walls to heal.  Plaque smooths over and shrink, arterial walls become more softer and pliable allowing more blood to pass.  Scientific studies have proven that blood flow increases after chelation therapy.

A complete program of chelation therapy involves a broad-based health care program of regular exercise, proper nutrition, vitamin and mineral supplementation and avoidance of tobacco and other damaging habits.

The need for drugs is often reduced or eliminated after chelation therapy.  Chelation therapy can be utilized in conjunction with most other therapies for cardiovascular disease.   EDTA is compatible with blood thinners, blood vessel dilators, medicines for blood pressure and heart arrhythmias, calcium blockers and beta blockers.

Bypass surgery is the mechanical repair of only a small portion of the arterial tree.  Total costs vary from $30,000 to $50,000 or more. Chelation therapy is an office treatment which improves the flow of blood throughout the entire vascular system.  Chelation costs one-tenth as much and is hundreds of times safer

More than 400,000 patients have received over four million treatments in the past 30 years.   Most patients experience few or no side effects.  Patients routinely report reduction or elimination of symptoms with an increasing sense of well being after chelation therapy.  Comparison of pre & post-therapy diagnostic tests provide objective evidence of effectiveness.

Chelation is best utilized to avoid bypass surgery, many patients who have previously undergone one or more bypass procedures, often with little or no benefit, have subsequently benefitted greatly from chelation therapy.  Treatment for each patient must be individualized.  If all else fails, including chelation therapy, bypass remains available as a last resort.

Chelation therapy is completely legal, and any licensed physician can legally administer this treatment.
