It seems as if I’ve seen chelation therapy in the news a lot recently and it’s made me think about how many different maladies chelation helps. I write a lot about the effect the therapy has on heart health and the importance of diet and exercise in relation to EDTA. But it’s important to showcase the little known health problems that chelation can help ease the symptoms of. Here are five different reasons to use chelation therapy.

  1. With BURSITIS, the pain comes from inflammation of the bursa most often in the knee, elbow, shoulder or hip. Bursae are fluid-filled sacs on the joints that separate the tendons and muscles from the bones. When inflammation occurs, free movement of the joint is limited, causing a lot of pain when kneeling, lifting, or sitting (depending on the joint affected). Poor circulation of the blood can increase inflammation, therefore causing more pain in the joint. Chelation therapy can help increase free flow in blood, helping reduce pain and lessening inflammation caused by bursitis.
  2. INTERMITTENT CLAUDICATION is the most prominent symptom of peripheral artery disease (PAD). It is associated with leg cramps that come and go during any form of exercise, especially walking. A pain or cramping in the calf muscle that occurs, normally, every time you walk is intermittent claudication. When you stop the pain disappears only to reappear again when you continue moving. Chelation therapy can help with this symptom of PAD by unclogging the blocked arteries that cause the problem. EDTA helps to improve blood circulation, therefore lessening or diminishing the symptoms of PAD.
  3. SKIN ULCERS are caused when your veins are blocked and blood is not able to move freely through them. When the valves in the veins are damaged, the blood is not able to pass through to your heart and it is forced to stay within the area of the vein. When this happens, often the blood will leak out of the vein resulting in tissue breakdown and skin ulcers. Skin ulcers can be very painful and slow to heal if not caught quickly. Taking chelation therapy increases circulation and helps send blood throughout your body rather than remaining stagnant within one area of the body.
  4. PSORIASIS is a fairly common skin malady that causes cells to build up forming itchy red patches on the body. It is a chronic disease that may go into remission and become active again at intermittent stages. Severity of psoriasis differs between those who have it, for some it’s an inconvenience, for others it can be painful and disabling. EDTA can help reduce inflammation caused by psoriasis therefore potentially lessening the pain and swelling that accompanies this disease.
  5. A blood clot within the vein potentially caused by injury or genetics can cause THROMBOPHLEBITIS. The blood clot is rarely life threatening if within a vein directly under the skin, however, if it is in a deeper vein (Deep Vein Thrombosis) it can lead to serious complications. The blood clot can travel to your heart causing a blocked artery or it can cause a heart attack or stroke. Taking EDTA can reduce your chances of blood clots by increasing your circulation. Chelation therapy opens your veins and arteries, removing damaging blockages.
