Toxins are everywhere—in our food, water, air, and even medications. Over time, heavy metals like lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium accumulate in the body and silently disrupt metabolic, neurological, and cardiovascular function.
At Patients Medical in NYC, we use Chelation Therapy as part of a comprehensive detox and integrative health strategy. This physician-supervised therapy gently removes toxic metals and improves blood vessel health, often benefiting patients with chronic fatigue, cardiovascular disease, cognitive issues, and more.
Chelation (pronounced “key-LAY-shun”) comes from the Greek word for “claw.” It involves the use of chelating agents—typically EDTA or DMPS—that bind to heavy metals in the bloodstream and help the body eliminate them safely through the kidneys.
Initially used for lead poisoning, chelation therapy is now recognized for its broader health applications, particularly in improving vascular health and reducing oxidative stress.
Many people have metal overload and don’t realize it. Common signs include:
Functional medicine investigates why toxicity has built up in the first place. Common contributors include:
Nutrient depletion: Lack of antioxidants or chelating nutrients (like glutathione or zinc)
Before starting chelation therapy, we assess your toxin load with advanced testing:
Our post-procedure healing protocols combine modern aesthetics with natural medicine:
We customize a chelation protocol using:
Mineral repletion after each session to prevent depletion
Typical therapy includes 20–30 infusions over 3–6 months, adjusted to your condition and test results.
A clean, anti-inflammatory diet enhances results. We provide plans rich in:
Alkalizing foods to support kidney function
Chelation can deplete nutrients, so we replenish with:
Zinc and selenium
We include botanicals that support liver and kidney pathways, including:
Modified citrus pectin (for safe binding of metals in the gut)
Chelation therapy is especially helpful in reducing atherosclerosis and improving circulation. We offer additional support with:
Detox-specific infrared sauna
David, a 58-year-old executive, came in with memory lapses, fatigue, and high blood pressure. Tests revealed high mercury and lead levels, along with oxidative stress.
We customized his treatment plan:
Three months later, David reported improved cognition, stable energy, and lowered blood pressure—confirmed by follow-up labs.

Studies like the TACT trial show EDTA chelation reduces cardiovascular events, especially in diabetics with prior heart attacks.
We work with holistic dentists for safe removal if needed and support detox afterward.
Some children with developmental concerns show improvement, but we evaluate each case individually and cautiously.
IV therapy is more potent and better absorbed for removing deeply stored metals.
