How Is Chelation Therapy Administered?

Medical Examination:

Prior to administering EDTA infusion, the practitioner will conduct tests to determine whether the patient has a condition that will benefit from the therapy and that it is an appropriate remedy.

A comprehensive personal and family history is taken with special emphasis on all aspects of previous health problems and current status. Patient will be asked questions regarding diet, habits, emotional status, exercise, stress levels and a detailed listing of symptoms.. A full physical examination will also be performed with special emphasis on the circulatory and respiratory systems.

This is followed by a series of medical tests such as electrocardiogram, chest X­Ray, blood tests, urine tests, diet and other tests and hair analysis. Exercise tolerance tests are used to determine how the heart, lungs and circulation responds to activity. A Doppler (sound wave) examination will be carried out to establish a 'before' picture of circulatory system.
