Lead, mercury, iron, and arsenic are hazardous metals that can accumulate in your body and become toxic.Chelation therapy treatmentis a medical procedure that removes these metals so that you will not become ill from them. It is performed through the intravenous infusion of substances that draw and bind pollutants like lead, copper, arsenic, aluminium, and mercury.
What Patients Should Expect?
Dr. Cohen will administer the treatment using an intravenous (IV) drug. The most popular chelation therapies are intravenous (IV) because they are more effective and increase chelation medication absorption. Patients receiving IV therapy could feel a slight burning sensation where the IV is inserted. Headache, nausea, vomiting, fever, and other adverse effects from the medication are additional potential side effects. Some patients may not suffer any negative effects at all.
Risks of Self Treatment
Only a qualified medical professional should provide chelation therapy to patients. No at-home therapy or blood testing kit for heavy metals has ever received FDA approval. Any business that offers these kits or gadgets to customers without a prescription is against the law. Treatment at home may result in serious health issues, even fatalities. Although not inherently harmful, home testing can yield unreliable findings. Based on these findings, people may suffer if they do not receive the necessary medical attention.
Chelation needs to be closely monitored by a skilled and experienced doctor. The monitoring should take place before, during, and after the treatment. Drugs that remove heavy metals from the body can also take away essential elements that the body needs or remove calcium from the bones.
Dr. Dana Cohen's ongoing supervision makes sure that any adverse effects are swiftly identified. It is possible to start treatment right away to prevent any severe or protracted consequences.
