Chelation therapy is a medical procedure that involves the
administration of chelating agents
to remove heavy metals from the body.
Chelation therapy has a long history of
use in clinical toxicology [1] and remains in use
for some very specific medical treatments, although it is administered under
very careful medical supervision due to various inherent risks.[2]
Chelation therapy must be administered with care as it has a number of
possible side effects, including death.[3] In response to
increasing use of chelation therapy as alternative medicine and in circumstances
in which the therapy should not be used in conventional medicine,
various health
organizations have confirmed that medical evidence does not support the
effectiveness of chelation therapy for any purpose other than the treatment of
heavy metal poisoning.[3]
Over-the-counter
chelation products are not approved for sale in the United States.[4]
