Each year over 500,000 Americans die of atherosclerosis our nation’s number one killer. Our bodies’ blood vessels are constantly being damaged by high blood pressure, toxic diet and environment, and by the effects of stress, leading to a build up of cholesterol and calcium plaque in arteries throughout the body.

Conventional medical approaches to the problem often involve the use of medications and invasive procedures such as angioplasty and bypass surgery. Since the 1950’s EDTA chelation therapy has offered patients a safe and painless alternative. This procedure has been shown to effectively reverse symptoms of atherosclerosis and correct the major underlying cause of arterial blockage.

Chelation therapy is given as a series of 20-30 weekly infusions each lasting 3 hours. EDTA molecules in the infusion “grab” the built up molecules of calcium and lead and other minerals from blood vessel walls and transport them to be eliminated by the kidneys. By reversing plaque build up in arteries chelation therapy is able to restore circulation to all tissues of the body.

Over 1,000,000 treatments administered in the U.S. since the 1950’s have documented the safety and effectiveness of this procedure with 85% of cases experiencing successful outcomes. Chelation therapy has been shown to help:

• heart attack
• angina
• stroke
• poor circulation to the extremeties
• exercise intolerance

It may also benefit:

• hypertension
• diabetes
• high cholesterol
• Alzheimer’s disease
• Parkinson’s disease
• kidney disease

At the D’Arcy Wellness Center, chelation therapy is administered according to protocols established by the American College for the Advancement of Medicine. This therapy, which is FDA approved for the removal of lead, is used in a program that includes a comprehensive examination, lab tests, the use of vitamins, stress reduction and lifestyle changes.
