Exposure to heavy metals like lead, mercury, and arsenic can lead to various health issues, including fatigue, cognitive disturbances, and organ dysfunction. At Patients Medical in New York City, we offer Chelation Therapy as part of our integrative approach to detoxification. By combining conventional treatments with holistic practices, we aim to safely remove toxic metals from your body and restore optimal health.
What is Chelation Therapy?
Chelation therapy involves the administration of chelating agents—substances that bind to heavy metals in the bloodstream. Once bound, these complexes are excreted from the body, primarily through urine, effectively reducing the body’s toxic metal burden.
Why Choose Chelation Therapy?
Chelation therapy is the standard treatment for heavy metal poisoning. It is FDA-approved for conditions like lead poisoning and iron overload. By removing these toxic metals, chelation therapy can alleviate symptoms and prevent long-term health complications.
Understanding the sources of heavy metal exposure is crucial for effective treatment. Common contributors include:
At Patients Medical, we create personalized chelation therapy plans tailored to your unique heavy metal toxicity profile. Using FDA-approved chelating agents such as EDTA or DMSA, delivered orally or intravenously, our approach helps bind and safely eliminate metals like lead, mercury, and arsenic from the body. These customized protocols are guided by lab testing and monitored closely to ensure safety and efficacy throughout treatment.
Detoxification places high demand on the body’s nutrient stores. Our integrative team ensures you receive proper nutritional support with a customized meal plan and targeted supplements. This includes replenishing minerals like zinc and magnesium, and antioxidants such as vitamin C and glutathione to protect cells during detox. We emphasize whole-food nutrition to aid liver function and restore balance during and after chelation therapy.
Hydration plays a critical role in flushing toxins from your system. Our detox programs often incorporate IV hydration therapy to support kidney function, optimize circulation, and prevent dehydration—a common side effect during detox. Alongside IV fluids, we provide personalized hydration recommendations and electrolyte balancing strategies to ensure that your body can efficiently process and eliminate heavy metals throughout the detox process.
Preventing re-exposure to environmental toxins is key to long-term detox success. Our clinicians offer tailored lifestyle strategies, including dietary adjustments to avoid contaminated foods, guidance on using toxin-free household products, and advice on workplace safety. We also educate you on how to identify and minimize everyday exposures—empowering you to make sustainable changes that support ongoing wellness and reduce your body’s toxic burden.
