Answers:
The proposed goal of chelation therapy is to remove harmful substances from the body by having a chelating agent form a complex with the toxic substance and allowing the body to remove that complex using its natural mechanisms of waste product removal. Proponents of chelation therapy claim that it may be used to treat coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, psoriasis, Alzheimer's disease and many others. Chelation therapy is routinely used and has been shown to be safe and effective for the treatment of heavy metal poisoning with lead, mercury, iron and for arsenic poisoning. The most popular alternative use for chelation therapy is in the treatment of atherosclerotic diseases (CAD and peripheral vascular disease).
