What is Chelation Therapy?
ATHENS CHELATION Center offers chelation therapy in ATHENS to help patients remove harmful toxins and heavy metals in the body. These unwanted substances build up over time as a result of exposure to metals in things like vaccines and dental fillings, environmental conditions, drinking water and more. Our Athens chelation therapy clinic offers this cutting-edge treatment to help the body rid itself of these toxins and help you feel your best.
The conditions we deal with using holistic natural medicine at the pain clinic are using holistic natural and complementary medicine.
First, a simple urine test is used to determine the makeup and level of toxins in your body. Depending on the results, if chelation therapy is right for you, we will administer specific IV treatments of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) directly into your bloodstream. These compounds will stick to any heavy metals, plaque buildup, and other toxins in your body. Your body will then naturally excrete them through your urine over the coming days.

Benefits of Chelation Therapy in ATHENS CHELATION CLINIC
Despite the increase of heavy metals, toxins, and plaque buildup in our bodies, there is hope. Chelation therapy, a non-invasive and proven treatment, can be used to help rid your body of these toxic substances and improve your health to have a long life. The benefits of chelation therapy in Athens include:
- Feeling Better – Some patients have found that chelation therapy works to reduce the swelling and pain associated with long-term inflammation. When chelation therapy is used to reduce these symptoms, a person often reports that they feel better overall.
- Reducing Fatigue– Toxins and heavy metals in the body can contribute to your level of both mental and physical fatigue. By removing them, your brain will feel more clear and you will have an increase in energy.
- Mitigating the Risk for Serious Heart Attacks or Strokes– Strokes and heart attacks can be caused by an increased blood pressure when the body has to work extra hard to pump blood through plaque buildup and heavy metal deposits to vital organs. By reducing plaque and these toxins, the body does not have to work as hard to deliver blood, reducing overall blood pressure and the risk of serious heart attacks or stroke.
- Potentially Prevent Alzheimer’s Disease– One of the most damaging diseases caused, in part, by toxic buildup in the body is Alzheimer’s disease. This condition is thought to be caused by an increased prevalence of plaque in the brain that clumps together, inhibiting normal cell functions that help us live our daily lives. By reducing the amount of plaque in the body through chelation therapy, patients may prevent the onset of this disease, or slow its progression.
- Patients with Certain Heart Conditions: Some studies suggest chelation therapy may benefit those with coronary heart disease by removing calcium deposits from arteries.
- Individuals with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): Chelation therapy might improve symptoms of PAD, a condition where narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs.
- Children and Adults with Autism: Though controversial and requiring more research, some believe chelation therapy can help remove heavy metals, potentially improving symptoms of autism.
- People with Alzheimer’s Disease: There’s ongoing research into whether removing metals like aluminum from the brain can slow the progression of Alzheimer’s.
*Always consult with a healthcare professional before considering chelation therapy. The effectiveness and safety of chelation therapy for conditions other than heavy metal poisoning are still subjects of research.
