Chelation Therapy – Natural Detox and Cardiovascular Support in NYC

https://www.patientsmedical.com/treatments/fat-transfer-treatment-in-nyc

Introduction: Why Detoxification Needs a Deeper Approach

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.

What Is Chelation Therapy?

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.

What Is Chelation Therapy?

Common Symptoms of Heavy Metal Toxicity

Many people have metal overload and don’t realize it. Common signs include:

Root Causes of Toxic Metal Exposure

Functional medicine investigates why toxicity has built up in the first place. Common contributors include:

  • Environmental exposure: Pesticides, industrial pollution, contaminated water
  • Dental amalgams: Silver fillings containing mercury
  • Old buildings or plumbing: Lead exposure
  • Vaccinations or medications: Trace amounts of metals
  • Poor detox pathways: Liver, kidneys, and gut not eliminating efficiently

Nutrient depletion: Lack of antioxidants or chelating nutrients (like glutathione or zinc)

Root Causes of Toxic Metal Exposure

Diagnostic Testing We Use

Before starting chelation therapy, we assess your toxin load with advanced testing:

Heavy metal urine provocation tests

Serum and hair mineral analysis

Oxidative stress markers (glutathione, lipid peroxides)

Kidney and liver function panels

Cardiovascular risk profiles

Inflammatory markers (CRP, homocysteine)

Integrative Treatments with Chelation Therapy

Our post-procedure healing protocols combine modern aesthetics with natural medicine:

IV Chelation Therapy

We customize a chelation protocol using:

  • EDTA (calcium or disodium) for cardiovascular support and lead detox
  • DMPS or DMSA for mercury and arsenic removal

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.

IV Chelation Therapy
Nutritional Detox Support

Nutritional Detox Support

A clean, anti-inflammatory diet enhances results. We provide plans rich in:

  • Organic, plant-forward meals
  • Cruciferous vegetables for liver detox
  • Fiber to bind and excrete toxins

Alkalizing foods to support kidney function

IV Vitamin & Mineral Therapy

Chelation can deplete nutrients, so we replenish with:

  • Magnesium
  • B-complex vitamins
  • Glutathione
  • Vitamin C

Zinc and selenium

Herbal & Nutraceutical Support

Herbal & Nutraceutical Support

We include botanicals that support liver and kidney pathways, including:

  • Milk thistle
  • Cilantro and chlorella
  • Alpha-lipoic acid
  • N-acetylcysteine (NAC)

Modified citrus pectin (for safe binding of metals in the gut)

Mitochondrial and Cardiovascular Support

Chelation therapy is especially helpful in reducing atherosclerosis and improving circulation. We offer additional support with:

  • CoQ10 and L-carnitine
  • Omega-3 fatty acids
  • Antioxidants to protect vessel walls

Real Case Study: David’s Journey to Clearer Thinking

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:

  • 25 sessions of EDTA chelation
  • Weekly glutathione and B12 IVs
  • Liver support herbs and mineral repletion
  • Mercury-free dental replacement (with referral)

Three months later, David reported improved cognition, stable energy, and lowered blood pressure—confirmed by follow-up labs.
