How Heavy Metals Impact Your Health

To better understand how chelation therapy works, let’s first discuss how heavy metals can negatively impact your body. Heavy metals bind to tissue and bone, where they cause free radical damage for months or even years. Free radicals can damage your cells, increase inflammation throughout the body, and contribute to an array of chronic health issues. 

Left unchecked, heavy metals can elevate your risk of premature aging and various diseases, including cancer, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, and Alzheimer’s disease, to name a few. 

Understanding Chelation Therapy: How Does it Work?

Chelation therapy involves administering the molecules of EDTA, an amino acid, into the body through an IV. EDTA naturally binds to heavy metals, including lead, mercury, copper, iron, arsenic, aluminum, and calcium. Once it latches onto the metals, it carries them out of your body through urine, effectively eliminating them from your system. 

This process lowers your toxic metal load and helps lessen or eliminate related health issues, like:

• Chronic fatigue
• Cognitive decline
• Muscle and joint pain
• Anxiety 
• Depression
• Autoimmune disorders 

Along with healthy lifestyle habits, chelation therapy can put you on the path to healing. Schedule an appointment at Mind Body Spirit Care in Tampa today to get started!
