Oral Chelorx® oral chelation (caplet or liquid)
Our Caplet Contains 12 Ingredients shown to mobilize 16 Heavy Metals (the broadest spectrum of all the listed chelators) and cation exchange units to protect the body from heavy metal re absorption.
Our Liquid Contains 25 Ingredients shown to mobilize 16 Heavy Metals (the broadest spectrum of all the listed chelators) and cation exchange units to protect the body from heavy metal re absorption.

Duration of Chelorx® oral chelation and it's cost
A 90 dose protocol (1 dose for 90 days is recommended) works for most. Human systemic amounts of metals vary widely. Hair analysis is recommended before and after, determining if you need continued use of Chelorex® relies on post hair analysis. What we have found, thanks to application of certain rules of reading hair tests found in Cutler's book "Hair Test Interpretation: Finding Hidden Toxicities"is this, if your essential elements are "non-deranged" 90 doses of Chelorex® will generally do the trick. If your essential elements are "deranged" a minimum of 180 doses and maybe more will be needed before heavy metal levels come down to an acceptable range.

Dosing is bodyweight based and flexible. Caplet and liquid formulas available. Caplet Formula Costs, 135lb-180lb and above person:$270.00, 135lb and below person $180.00. Liquid Formula Cost, 135lb-180lb and above person:$570.00, 135lb and below person $285.00.

Possible Dangers of Chelorx® oral chelation
No known dangers. Reported side effects: Loose stool and/or lethargy within the first week of protocol. Dosages can be adjusted up or down to your convenience.

IV EDTA chelation
IV EDTA Chelation is administering a man-made amino acid into the veins. (EDTA is an abbreviation for ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid.) EDTA is most often used in cases of acute lead poisoning (specifically lead, it's what it was designed for and works very well on lead). That’s because it creates a bond with this metal, creating a compound that can be excreted in the urine (which is not the body's NATURAL route of excretion, it's the gastrointestinal tract). In addition to binding to a narrow spectrum of heavy metals (EDTA is an ineffective chelator of Mercury) , EDTA also chelates calcium and other essential minerals rather aggressively.

Duration of IV EDTA chelation and it's cost
Each IV chelation treatment usually requires two to four hours and costs between $50 and $100 (even more). In the first month, patients generally receive from five to 30 treatments (with 30 being the most prevalent amount). Patients often are advised to continue preventive treatment monthly. IV EDTA Chelation isn’t a medically accepted treatment. Insurance companies and Medicare will not reimburse for it. Patients must pay for this treatment themselves. Total costs $1,000 to $3,000 for IV EDTA chelation therapy.

Possible Dangers of IV EDTA chelation
IV EDTA isn’t a totally safe treatment. There’s a real danger of kidney failure. (renal tubular necrosis). EDTA can also cause convulsions, respiratory arrest, cardiac arrhythmias, allergic reactions and respiratory arrest. Additionally , there are reported deaths ( Boy Dies During Autism Treatment ) in the United States have been related with chelation therapy. Some people are on dialysis because of kidney failure related, at least in part, by IV EDTA chelation. While a being a good treatment for acute lead poisoning, choosing IV EDTA chelation may be putting more at risk than a couple of thousand dollars.

Oral EDTA chelation
Currently the most over-hyped, overpriced supplement of it's kind on the market. I have dedicated an entire page to the total misrepresentation of EDTA and it's value as an effective chelation agent ... it's not even safe to use.
Go here: EDTA Fact and Fantasy

The real joke of oral EDTA is it's 5% absorbability, lack of effectiveness and the price internet hucksters charge you for it. EDTA cost from $9-$12 a kilo(that's a thousand 1 gram servings). One large "oral chelation" web site sells a product (300 caps) with a 30 cap serving that gives a generous 500mgs of EDTA total, yes that's a whopping 5 grams of 5% absorbable EDTA. So lets figure this ... at an average cost of say $10.50 a kilogram of EDTA, 5 grams cost 5 1/4¢. So for 5 1/4¢ of their supposedly active ingredient (EDTA) you get charged $90 for a 10 day supply their active ingredient ... worthless and shamelessly overpriced.

Oral DMSA chelation
Dimercaptocuccinic Acid (Dimercaptocuccinic Acid), is a drug that has been approved by the FDA for use in situations of acute lead poisoning in pediatric patients.
DMSA will not pass the blood brain barrier, so this excludes any effectiveness for removing heavy metals from the central nervous system.

Duration of Oral DMSA chelation and it's cost
Dosages and duration of this drug are all over the board ... throw a dart.

Possible Dangers of Oral DMSA chelation
This drug is known to be excreted mainly by the kidney, and the risk of dangerous reactions to this drug will be greater in patients with sort of impaired renal function. DMSA is NOT safe to use if you have dental amalgams in place. DMSA, drug and supplement interactions have not been systematically studied. Administration of DMSA with other chelation therapies, such as EDTA is not recommended.
A study of 134 adult showed the following side effects:
20.9% reported; Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, appetite loss, hemorrhoidal symptoms, loose stools, metallic taste in mouth.
15.7%; Back pain, abdominal cramps, stomach pains, head pain, rib pain, chills, flank pain, fever, flu-like symptoms, heavy head/tired, head cold, headache, moniliasis.
10.4%; Elevated SGPT, SGOT, alkaline phosphatase, elevated serum cholesterol.
12.7%; Drowsiness, dizziness, sensorimotor neuropathy, sleepiness, paresthesia.
11.2%; Papular rash, herpetic rash, rash, mucocutaneous eruptions, pruritus.
3.7%; Decreased urination, voiding difficulty, proteinuria increased.
3.7%; Cloudy film in eye, ears plugged, otitis media, eyes watery.
1.8%; Arrhythmia
The amount of clinical experience with DMSA is limited.

IV DMPS chelation
Dimercapto-propane sulfonate (DMPS) is an extremely aggressive chelation agent of mercury that should be used mainly in circumstances of acute exposure, were the benefits outweigh this risks involved. The use of DMPS is considered "experimental" in the US and not approved by the FDA.

Possible Dangers of Oral DMPS chelation
Especially risky is the “DMPS challenge test”. This calls for an injection of a high dose of DMPS. It is probably the riskiest way to administer DMPS. DMPS can in some, induce metal poisoning, there’s little that can be done to rectify the situation. Administration with as little as 100mg 3x per day with food of oral DMPS has reportedly led to Stevens-Johnson Syndrome. Should not be used if you have mercury amalgams in place. Some other adverse reactions associated with the use of DMPS: inflammation of the pancreas, headache, nausea, muscle pain/weakness, diarrhoea, stomach pain, rashes, decreased urination, arrhythmias and allergic reactions. Take a look at Janna's web site and read about one woman's horror story with just ONE injection of DMPS.
