What is Chelation Therapy?
Chelation therapy is a medical treatment in which a synthetic solution—EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid)—is injected into the bloodstream or absorbed by the gut when administered in the form of suppositories. EDTA binds with the harmful metal and both are then eliminated from the body through the kidneys.
Why Is Used?
Chelation therapy is a very effective way to treat heavy metal poisoning, such as lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium. Health Canada has approved chelation therapy for the treatment of lead poisoning.
These metals can accumulate in the body through environmental exposure, occupational exposure, or ingestion of contaminated food or water. Long-term exposure to heavy metals can lead to various health problems, including neurological disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and kidney damage.
In addition to treating heavy metal poisoning, chelation therapy has also been explored as a complementary treatment for certain conditions like atherosclerosis (hardening and narrowing of the arteries).
It’s important to note that chelation therapy should only be performed under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional, as it can have potential side effects and risks.
What was the TACT trial?
The Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy (TAC) was a study conducted in the United States and funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH) to investigate the effectiveness and safety of chelation therapy in individuals with coronary artery disease (CAD), particularly those who had experienced a heart attack. The trial aimed to determine whether chelation therapy, in combination with high-dose oral vitamins and minerals, could reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in this patient population.
This large-scale, multicenter, randomized controlled trial enrolled over 1,700 participants with a history of myocardial infarction (heart attack). The participants were randomly assigned to receive either a chelation therapy regimen (using EDTA) or a placebo, in addition to high-dose oral vitamins and minerals.
The TACT trial suggested a possible benefit of chelation therapy in some patients with CAD. In the subgroup with diabetes (633 patients), the results were dramatic: the chelation-based strategy reduced cardiac events by 51% and reduced total mortality by 43%.
However, use of chelation therapy for this indication is still not widely accepted as a standard treatment by mainstream medical guidelines although its effectiveness for this purpose is continuously being studied.

What is Chelation Therapy, and How Does It Work?
Chelation therapy is a medical procedure involving the administration of chelating agents to remove heavy metals from the body. These agents bind to metals, forming compounds that are then excreted from the body through urine.
What Heavy Metals Does Chelation Therapy Target?
Chelation therapy primarily targets heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic. These metals can accumulate in the body over time and may contribute to various health concerns.
How Long Does a Chelation Therapy Session Take?
The duration of a chelation therapy session can vary, but it typically takes 3 hours for a full dose infusion. Half doses can be administered if time is an issue.The number of sessions required depends on individual health needs and the severity of metal toxicity.
Why Consider Chelation Therapy?
Chelation therapy is often considered for individuals with heavy metal toxicity. It can help address symptoms related to metal exposure, improve circulation, and potentially reduce the risk of certain health issues.
Are There Risks Associated with Chelation Therapy?
While generally considered safe when administered by trained professionals, chelation therapy may have side effects. These can include temporary discomfort at the injection site and, rarely, more serious reactions. It’s crucial to undergo therapy under the supervision of a qualified healthcare provider.
What Should I Expect During a Chelation Therapy Session?
During a session, a chelating agent is administered intravenously. Patients may relax, read, or engage in quiet activities during the procedure. It’s important to stay hydrated before and after the session.
