Chelation therapy is performed worldwide and is gaining popularity in America. Currently hundreds of physicians in the U.S. offer the procedure in their offices.

1. What is Chelation Therapy?
Chelation therapy is a series of IV treatments using a solution of minerals, vitamins and a special amino acid, EDTA. The latter is approved by the FDA for lead poisoning. Chelation therapy is a safe, non-surgical, adjunctive treatment given in a doctor's office. 500,000 to 700,000 satisfied patients have received millions of treatments. They are the biggest fans of chelation therapy.

2. Who are Chelation Therapy Patients?
At Primary Prevention the majority of patients receiving chelation therapy are those suffering from heart disease, stroke and poor circulation. They may have already received the maximum benefit from medicine and surgery and been told they would have to live with their conditions. Thanks to chelation therapy that does not have to be the case.

3. What is EDTA?
EDTA is an acronym for the amino acid, ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid. The IV solution of EDTA removes toxic heavy metals such as lead, mercury and arsenic from the body. It also removes excess iron, which has recently been shown to be a risk factor in hardening of the arteries.

4. What is Chelation Therapy used for?
It is approved since the 1950's for heavy metal poisoning, digitalis poisoning and hypercalcemia, which is too much calcium circulating in the blood. For the past 40 years patients have been receiving chelation as adjunctive treatment for symptoms of hardening of the arteries and conditions resulting from poor circulation. These problems may include angina, high blood pressure, pain on walking, decreased memory, decreased energy and stamina.

5. Who might benefit from Chelation Therapy?
Almost anyone over age 40. It is increasingly being used for prevention by people who are still healthy. Many people with the chronic diseases of aging, such as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, blocked arteries, stroke and memory loss are the main beneficiaries. Many of our patients have already had the maximum benefit from medicine and surgery and have been told they have to live with their problem. They're very pleased when they find out that may not be true.

6. Has Chelation Therapy been successful?
Chelation therapy isn't a "cure-all," but the vast majority of patients have done very well. Dr. Bob Nash can point to a number of success stories in his years of using chelation therapy. The patients are adamant that chelation therapy has improved their health and improved their lives. They state many of their symptoms have disappeared. Symptoms such as chest pain, pain on walking, poor memory, arthritis pain and even breathing difficulties have improved. Some of Dr. Nash's patients have even been able to avoid surgery.

According to Dr. Nash, "I was skeptical when I first studied it. In my 25 years of practicing medicine, I have never seen anything like it. Many of our patients have regained strength and vitality that they had thought was lost forever."

*We feel that a true indication of success is that many of our new patients have been referred by satisfied patients. It is very common for a husband or wife or other family member to begin chelation after seeing the improvements in a relative.
