Chelation therapy is a method by which metal detoxification can be performed. The majority of people going through this article might have heard about mercury poisoning. Mercury poisoning was generally referred as the mad hatter's disease in the 19th century. It is a very heavy metal which can create poisoning and can affect the central as well as the peripheral nervous system to a larger extent. It could also result in extensive swing in your disposition and cause apprehension and dementia. To be short it lowers down your mental faculties and can result into brain stunting when found in small children.

Oral chelation is gaining popularity because it is a relatively inexpensive and prevents patients from undergoing certain expensive medical procedures. There are various chelation products available in the market for daily intake like cardio Restore, Orachel, Bio-Chelat, and ChelatoRx. Studies have shown that only 5%-18% of the EDTA from these products is absorbed by our body therefore along with EDTA many other chelating agents are also there in these products. Many clinical trials have proven the fact that excretion of heavy metals like lead and mercury in urine increases after the oral EDTA chelation.

Though Intravenous  chelation therapy is relatively more effective oral one is preferred as it is inexpensive. Many researchers and doctors believe that taking EDTA can increase one’s life span upto 15 years. Thus is should be pointed out that though many people believe chelation is harmful as it increases absorption of some metals but it also has many benefits associated with it.
