The Health Quest with Dr. Sal

How Chelation Therapy Removes Heavy Metals from our Bodies


Listen Later

Heavy metals are everywhere in our environment, but how do we keep them out of our bodies?


On today's episode of the Health Quest Podcast, Dr. Sal is talking about chelation therapy and its role in removing heavy metals from our bodies.


We're all unintentionally exposed to heavy metals like lead, mercury, and cadmium through air, water, and soil, and these substances can be harmful to our health. Chelation therapy utilizes an amino acid called EDTA to reduce the body's burden of heavy metal toxins and improve physiological functions. This man-made synthetic amino acid is used for food preservation and has a fascinating "claw-like" action that helps dissolve unwanted substances to be excreted from the body.


Dr. Sal explains the effects of chelation therapy on the cardiovascular system, from its role in preventing and reversing atherosclerosis to improving blood circulation and reducing blood clot formation.


Key takeaways:


1. Chelation Therapy: Dr. Sal explained how EDTA can effectively remove heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and aluminum from our bodies. By clearing these toxins, chelation therapy aids in preventing and reversing atherosclerosis, improving blood circulation, reducing blood clotting mechanisms, increasing energy production in the cells, and exerting antiviral and antioxidant effects.


2. Identifying Heavy Metal Contamination: The episode shed light on the rampant presence of heavy metals in our environment, from air and water to soil. Dr. Sal emphasized the profound impact of lead contamination and its widespread prevalence, underscoring the necessity of addressing heavy metal exposure for overall well-being.


3. Mitigating Health Risks: Understanding the detrimental effects of heavy metals, especially in increasing free oxygen radicals and causing oxidation of low-density lipoproteins, points to the critical need for detoxification processes and chelation therapy to counteract these health risks.
