Chelation Therapy in Encinitas, CA

Chelation therapy is a detoxification treatment designed to remove harmful heavy metals from your body. This therapy uses chelating agents like EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) to "bind" with heavy metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic, and aluminum, safely eliminating them through your body’s natural waste removal processes. Heavy metals can accumulate in the body due to environmental exposure, poor diet, or certain medications, and may contribute to various chronic health conditions.

Is this treatment right for you?

Chelation therapy is often prescribed for individuals who have been exposed to high levels of heavy metals, including those with elevated lead, mercury, or arsenic levels as determined by a naturopathic consultation and testing. By removing heavy metals from the body, this treatment helps restore the body's natural balance and improve quality of life. Studies have also looked at the potential benefits of chelation therapy for cardiovascular disease, chronic inflammation, and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Getting Started With Chelation Therapy

1

Establish Naturopathic Care

Schedule a consultation with one of our naturopathic doctors at Pure Health. During your initial visit, the doctor will do a comprehensive medical intake and order lab testing for heavy metals.

2

Test for Heavy Metals

After your first chelation treatment, you will be provided with a provocation urine test for heavy metals. This test will measure levels of heavy metals excreted through the urine.

3

Begin Your Detox Journey

Your doctor will determine a chelation schedule with EDTA, DMPS, or both based on your test results and any current symptoms you may be experiencing.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Chelation therapy is considered safe when administered with proper training. It is not a new or upcoming treatment. EDTA has been used medically since the 1950s to remove lead, arsenic, and other toxic metals from the body. At Pure Health, our naturopathic doctors are trained to safely administer chelation therapy.

  • Chelation therapy is administered intravenously. Each session lasts about 45-60 min.

  • Some people will need 20-40 treatments to completely detox heavy metals from their body. This varies depending on the severity of heavy metal toxicity and treatment goals.

  • Our chelation protocol includes a series of EDTA, DMPS, or both over several weeks. We take it a step further and also include our Pure Restore infusions to help remineralize the body in between chelation treatments.
