Chelation is a complex and very 'involved' process through which heavy metals are removed from the system. Chelation Therapy should be overseen by an experienced doctor or health care practitioner and in most cases, it is preferred to be done with IV infusions. These infusions are costly and time consuming.
Most oral chelation formulas are based on EDTA, a substance that has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use of heavy metal toxicity. Even though there are many so-called EDTA oral chelators available, it can be extremely unsafe to endeavour doing your own Chelation Therapy with these chelators, without the supervision of a doctor.
