What is Chelation? (source: American Chelation)
Chelation therapy is a medical treatment that improves metabolic and circulatory function by removing toxic metals (such as lead and cadmium) and abnormally located nutritional metallic ions (such as iron) from the body. This is accomplished by administering an amino acid, ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetic acid (EDTA), by an intravenous infusion.
Chelation therapy was first used by the U.S. navy to treat led poisoning in the 1940s. It involves the administration of a synthetic form of the amino acid EDTA.

Chelation therapy is based on the theory that by reducing calcium, mineral, fat and other debris deposits on the arterial wall, there will be increased blood circulation. The fact that degenerative diseases are caused by poor circulation is well documented; therefore, it stands to reason that the major and least harmful way to alleviate these situations is to improve the blood circulation.

The primary cause of poor circulation is that the arteries are blocked up to the point that blood cannot flow freely. This can best be illustrated by the water pipes in a house that have become corroded by time and the passage of water depositing impurities from the water onto the walls of the pipes. In the case of pipes, the situation can be significantly improved by either cleaning them, or best, by installing new pipes. In the human body, clogged arteries reduce the flow of blood just as corroded pipes in the house reduce the flow of water.

However, correcting this blood flow situation is far more difficult than replacing pipes.

The most generally accepted method today for cardiovascular disease treatment is use of drugs or surgery. In the use of drugs, it is possible to "thin the blood," which in turn allows it to flow more easily. This does nothing, however, to correct the situation or prevent more deposits from being made, which causes even a greater restriction of flow.

Surgery, the most publicized method, is not only very expensive and dangerous, but is also only temporary, and corrects the problem only where the surgery has been performed and not throughout the entire body.

Usually in the case of clogged arteries, all of the arteries and the capillaries are suffering from the same situation. In chelation therapy, the entire system is cleansed to varying degrees and the cause of the stoppage is diminished over the entire system.

General estimates are that the body is being destroyed at the rate of 4-7 million cells per minute. These cells must be replaced and the only way this can be done is by proper nutrition. The bloodstream provides body cells with oxygen and nutrition so that the cells can function in a normal chemical manner.

Chelation therapy is concerned with improving circulation so that proper nutrition and oxidation can take place in the normal manner. Every thought, every spoken word, even every movement of the body, is a result of kinetic forces that take place as a result of chelating chemical reactions.

All animal and plant life is dependent upon chelation, one of the most important natural functions. It is this function that makes the use on inorganic minerals possible. For instance, in plants, the green matter, chlorophyll, is a chelate of magnesium, which is absolutely necessary for the plant to mature.

A parallel to this in the human body is the chelate of iron, which is hemoglobin. This is the oxygen carrying pigment of the red blood cells. If iron is not chelated, we would not be able to get oxygen to the various parts of the body. And, too much iron contributes to plaque buildup in the arteries and the organs (as kidneys) causing hardening.

Every mineral taken into the body with food or supplement must be chelated by the body before it can be properly used. If not chelated or bound, it will stay ionic and in this form, if in excess, it will end up forming a stone or a sclerosis.

Chelation is also involved in the formation and function of enzymes, protein substances which control most of the vital functions of the body. The amino acids, histidine, methionine and cysteine are very strong chelators. Other chelators include proteins (like albumin) dicarboxylic acid, polypeptides, enzymes and nucleic acids. Vitamins A and C, which are absolutely indispensable to life, are themselves chelating agents

To stress the vital importance of chelation, it should be noted that most of the successful drugs in use today are dependent on chelation processes, as penicillin, tetracyclines, streptomycin, bacitracin, polymixin, isoniazid, amino salicyclic acid.

Many chemical reactions involving metals are chelations.
