Heartbeat is often the indicator of life and health that is why heart health has always been top priority with extensive resources and researches dedicated to it.
Naturopathic medicine has a holistic approach and considers all internal and external influences on the optimal health of the heart. It focuses on environmental factors as much as the individualistic ones and designs natural and integrative treatments to remove obstacles to inner healing wisdom to restore balance and maintain longevity.
A naturopathic doctor believes many factors influence heart health, from the air we breathe to the food we eat along with activity level, relationships and metabolic state within the body but from all these, heavy metals present in the air, water and food have the most direct and strong effect on heart health!
In this article, we will examine chelation therapy for heavy metal toxicity about heart health.
What is chelation therapy?
Chelation therapy is a naturopathic treatment for heavy metal toxicity with fast and lasting results. It uses chelating chemical processes to bind certain chelators to excess metals and minerals inside blood and organs to remove them from the body through urination. It is a detoxification treatment approved by U.S. food and drug administration (FDA) for lead poisoning.
The word chelation is derived from the Greek root “chela” or “claw” meaning “grabbing” because the chelating agent acts like a claw to grab the toxic metal!
There are two main chelating agents often used in chelation therapy:
EDTA Calcium disodium or EthyleneDiamine Tetraacetic Acid is a synthetic amino acid that makes 4-6 bonds with metal ions. It also acts similar to antioxidants by counteracting free radicals and eliminating inflammation. It is commonly used in the food industry by the code name of E385 as a safe preservative of color and flavor. Cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries also use it in their products to increase shelf life. It is effective for detoxification of heart as well as other organs, tissues, and bones. It has been historically successful in treating lead poisoning.
DMPS or 2, 3-DiMercapto-1-PropaneSulfonic acid is also a synthetic amino acid which forms a water-soluble bond with toxic heavy metals. It has the strongest Cu binding ability to treat multiple metal poisoning including antimony, arsenic, and mercury. DMSA or DiMercaptoSuccinic Acid is an oral version for lead toxicity; however, it has a higher binding affinity for mercury and arsenic than EDTA.
At higher levels of toxicity, two chelating agents might be administered for faster and more effective results.
Heavy metals are natural chemicals such as Aluminum, Mercury, Lead, Iron, Copper, Arsenic, Nickel, Cadmium, and Calcium. Even a slight rise of their level in your blood and body can elevate your chance of developing heart disease. They cause inflammation which in turn leads to chronic illnesses.
In modern life, heavy metal toxicity is common due to industrial pollutions that can accumulate in your body and affect your health negatively, but other sources such as dental amalgam or mercury fillings, vaccination, polluted water, high consumption of farm-raised fish, radiation and chemotherapy can also cause heavy metal toxicity.
Some diseases also cause heavy metal build up in the brain, liver, heart, and pancreas. Wilson’s disease is believed to be the main cause of copper accumulation, Hemochromatosis, and Thalassemia for iron overload and Kidney Dialysis for holding too much aluminum in the body.
Radiation exposure to Plutonium, Uranium, and Radionuclide is a high-risk factor that might lead to cancer.
Symptoms of heavy metal poisoning include chronic fatigue, neurological disorders, cognitive issues, inability to learn and remember, depression and anxiety, joint and muscle pain, autoimmunity, breathing difficulties and kidney and liver dysfunctions.
Chelation therapy removes the cause of inflammation, which is heavy metals; therefore, pain and swelling specifically in joints and muscles disappear. Chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis and autoimmunity will be healed and the need for medication will be eliminated!
Cognitive disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease are believed to be caused by heavy metal poisoning of lead or mercury. Even mineral accumulation such as copper, zinc, and iron in the brain is the cause of neurodegenerative diseases. Aluminum found in canes and deodorant are also said to be a risk factor. Chelation therapy has been proven effective in curing these conditions by attaching to the excess minerals and metals and carrying them out of the brain resulting in improvement of mental and physical performance.
ADHD, Autism spectrum disorder and learning disabilities are thought to be a result of heavy metal poisoning circulating in the blood or deposited in the brain. Thimerosal which is a mercury-containing preservative in vaccines is specifically pointed to be the cause. Chelation therapy can draw this metal into the excretory system and restore mental and emotional health.
Chelation therapy was developed in the 1940s for lead poisoning of workers in the battery factory. In the 1950s, Dr. Norman Clarke, head of research in Providence Hospital of Detroit discovered that his patients are reporting less pain from their Angina condition which is resulted from blocked coronary arteries. They also showed enhanced memory and energy level along with sharper senses of vision, hearing, and smell!
Since the heart diseases were on the rise and the only treatment option was coronary bypass surgery which was expensive, intrusive and had side effects, the chelation therapy was ideal and promising; therefore, it became popular and was well received by the public. It was also administered for peripheral vascular disease, which is blockage of arteries in the legs.
In the past 15 years, chelation therapy has grown back in popularity among people and the results are even more encouraging.
