Chelation therapy is the administration of chelating agents to remove heavy metals from the body. The agent sticks to metals in the bloodstream, creating a compound that the body eliminates through urination.
Common chelating agents include:
• DMSA (dimercaptosuccinic acid)
• DMPS (2,3-dimercapto-1-propanesulfonic acid)
• EDTA (ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid)
• ALA (alpha-lipoic acid)
• Vitamins
