Chelation Therapy

Chelation Therapy, or heavy metals detoxification, is used primarily to eliminate heavy metals, like mercury or lead, from the body. Heavy metals play a part in accelerating the aging process and in coronary artery disease. The active ingredient in the Riordan Clinic chelation program is EDTA, a power antioxidant, which is delivered intravenously. This therapy is primarily appropriate for patients who have a diagnosis of heavy metals in their blood, a family history of heavy metal toxicity issues, or have coronary artery disease.
