Chelation Therapy
A focus on heart health. Chelation therapy targets the toxic metals and mineral deposits that block your cardiovascular system and harden your arteries — a non-invasive procedure designed to combat atherosclerosis.
High Calcium Score?
Chelation therapy targets the toxic metals and mineral deposits that block your cardiovascular system and harden your arteries. Take control of your heart health with this non-invasive procedure designed to combat atherosclerosis.
In chelation therapy, a medication called EDTA sticks to the calcium and other toxic metals in your blood and gradually dissolves them. These contaminants are then flushed from your body naturally through urination. EDTA has been FDA-approved for heavy metal poisoning for more than 50 years, and its role in combating atherosclerosis is increasing. Chelation therapy uses EDTA to target the calcium within the plaque, potentially lowering your calcium score and reducing blockages in your arteries.
Over time, toxic metals such as arsenic, lead, mercury and others can accumulate in your bloodstream. These metals can cause inflammation, contribute to plaque buildup, and result in damage to your cardiovascular and neurologic systems.
Who May Benefit
- A high coronary artery calcium score
- Known atherosclerosis or arterial plaque
- Symptoms of coronary artery disease
- Documented heavy metal exposure or accumulation
- A family history of cardiovascular disease
- Chronic inflammation with a suspected toxic burden
What to Expect
- Remove toxic metals from the body
- Improve blood flow
- May reduce atherosclerotic plaque
- May relieve Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) symptoms
- EDTA has been FDA-approved for heavy metal poisoning for more than 50 years
- Non-invasive, delivered in-office as part of a wider cardiovascular plan
Benefits
Targets Toxic Metals
EDTA binds to calcium and toxic metals in the blood and gradually dissolves them, after which they are cleared naturally through urination.
Supports Blood Flow
By targeting the calcium within arterial plaque, chelation may reduce blockages and improve circulation.
Addresses Calcium Score
Your calcium score reflects your future risk of heart attack and cardiovascular disease. Chelation targets the calcium that score is measuring.
Reduces Toxic Burden
Accumulated arsenic, lead and mercury drive inflammation and plaque buildup, and can damage cardiovascular and neurologic systems.
Non-Invasive
No surgery and no catheter — treatment is delivered in-office over a planned series.
Part of a Whole-Person Plan
Chelation sits inside our functional medicine approach, alongside nutrition, lifestyle and cardiovascular risk management.
Common Questions About Chelation Therapy
What does a high calcium score mean?
The plaque that blocks your arteries and can lead to heart disease contains calcium. Your calcium score is obtained via a heart scan, a specialized X-ray that determines the level of calcium and other deposits in the bloodstream. This score represents your potential risk for having a heart attack or developing cardiovascular disease in the future. The higher the score, the greater the risk.
How do toxins affect my health?
Over time, toxic metals such as arsenic, lead, mercury and others can accumulate in your bloodstream. These metals can cause inflammation, contribute to plaque buildup, and result in damage to your cardiovascular and neurologic systems.
What is EDTA?
EDTA is the chelating medication used in this therapy. It binds to calcium and other toxic metals in your blood and gradually dissolves them so they can be flushed from the body through urination. EDTA has been FDA-approved for heavy metal poisoning for more than 50 years.
Is chelation therapy a replacement for cardiology care?
No. Chelation therapy is used alongside — not instead of — your cardiovascular care. We encourage coordination with your cardiologist and other providers, and we will never advise discontinuing prescribed cardiac medication without the prescribing physician's involvement.
