Research Chelation Therapy

Chelation therapy is catching on – and for good reason. It’s proving to restore needed balance to those suffering heavy metal toxicity, as well as autism and autistic-related disorders, which have been found to be related to heavy metal poisoning – particularly through methylmercury found in vaccines. Unfortunately, methylmercury is a common and quite dangerous environmental contaminant that ends up accumulating in the human body, with unpleasant results.

Methylmercury is a bioaccumulating substance – meaning, it makes its way up the food chain through fish and other organisms, such as bacteria, propagating its presence exponentially in the ecosphere. Mercury itself is a neurotoxic heavy metal, the symptoms of which can present as any number of other things. The best thing is to get tested if you suspect you’ve been exposed to mercury, or methylmercury (the version of mercury that bioaccumulates in fish).

Supporters of chelation therapy rely on the testimonies of people who’ve had it done. Many people claim that their lives were saved and their health improved because of chelation therapy. Opponents say the results aren’t clear enough. But neither are the results clear on the myriad of barely tested drugs out there on the pharmaceutical market, so – you decide.

And these aren’t the only claims. Supporters also claim that chelation therapy significantly improves blood flow through previously narrowed blood vessels in some patients. Another claim is that chelation therapy has restored lost bodily function and reduced pain in some cases. Whatever the case is, positive results are being shown

The process of chelation actually removes harmful metals from the bloodstream. In fact, chelation therapy is the only way to treat lead poisoning. But lead isn’t the only metal cleansed from the body through chelation therapy. A chelation agent will also bind with most metals, mineral deposits, calcium-based plaques and other chemical toxins. Because of its positive impact on the bloodstream, chelation therapy has proven to benefit a number of medical conditions, including atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis.

What exactly is chelation?

Chelation is a well-known method of heavy metal and toxin removal in which a special chemical compound called a chelate – such as dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA), dimercaptopropane sulfonate (DMPS), or ethylene diaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) – is given, usually intravenously. The chelate finds and forms a single attachment to the toxin with one reversible ionic bond. With that bond intact, the toxin is grabbed onto, pulled off the cell and carried from the body. However, the toxin is not neutralized during this process and is potentially able to attach to other cells on its way out.

That’s the traditional form of chelation therapy. Great strides are being made, namely with oral therapy, which provides a painless, easy way of self-administering treatment, and with positive results. A new oral chelation therapy from Awaken Nutrition provides a speciallypatented method of introducing chelating substances into the body. Made up of peptides such as glutamic, fulvic and tartaric acid, Awaken Nutrition oral chelation spray offers those suffering from heavy metal toxicity and/or autism or autism-related disorders (or those with loved ones with such afflictions) new hope for wellness.

Expert testimony: chelation benefits

And, the experts are weighing in on the benefits of chelation therapy.

“There is no question that chelation, taking the mercury out of the kids, is by far the most effective treatment available,” says psychologist Bernard Rimland of the Autism Research Institute in San Diego, as quoted in a recent article on MSNBC. He’s only one of many health professionals weighing in about chelation therapy’s benefits. Other practitioners prescribe caution, but they, too, are having to behold the affirmative evidence now coming in.

Janet Hightower, M.D. is one of a group of emerging doctors who have experienced mercury toxicity in her patients, and acted upon it. Many of her patients were complaining of dizzyness, hair loss, forgetfulness and fatigue. She had some of them tested (the hair test is very easy and relatively affordable), and voila! Mercury toxicity. Dr. Hightower knew the battle was on, and she especially took issue with the gulf between an unsuspecting public and a government and special interests too greedy or callous to provide adequate food labeling and warning – especially to pregnant mothers, who are most susceptible.

See for yourself the benefits and the hope being generated by Awaken Nutrition’s oral chelation therapy spray. It’s affordable, easy-to-use, doctor-recommended, and available to anyone seeking greater vitality and wellness, and an escape from heavy metal toxicity.
