Chelating Agents and Supportive Chelating Nutrients
Dr. Nooshin K. Darvish
As you learnt in my book, The Golden Gate, or on previous posts on heavy metal toxicity, metals play a significant role in aging, hormone imbalance and chronic disease.
Our body does not easily eliminate metals. Metals often get stuck in hormone glands, brain, heart, nervous system and body fat. We have to intentionally remove metals through a process called chelation. Different metals will bind to different chelating agents based on their electrical charge.
Below is a list of chelating agents and nutrients that can be used to support the body in its elimination process of metals.
Learn more about detoxification, toxicities, longevity support and the KHOSH Method by exploring The Golden Gate book.
Chelation can be complicated and should not be self-performed. When metals are released from tissues, they can dislodge to other deeper tissues like the brain or nervous system if chelation is not done properly. I recommend visiting with a physician who is well versed in chelation therapy or reach out to me or one of our physicians at Holistique for a personalized evaluation and treatment of your heavy metals and condition.
