Chelation is the removal of heavy metals (mercury, for example) from the bloodstream. It is occasionally used in medicine.\n\nIt is more often used by quacks as treatment for cancer, atherosclerosis, and any number of other conditions or illnesses. There is no scientific evidence that they work for those things. http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/chelation.html

Chromium picolinate is part of the glucose tolerance factor (gtf) which acts as a co-factor of insulin.  Together with the appropriate treatment medical treatment chromium picolinate can regulate blood sugar levels for those suffering from diabetes and hypoglycemia, which suggests chromium picolinate for diabetes sufferers as an appropriate measure along with dietary regulation and doctor-prescribed medication. You should only use it though under a physician's supervision.

Hi there.. I'm a Licenced Dietetic Technician. The answer to your question....Anemia is a concern that can be fixed. Anemia is a condition in which the iron count in your blood is low meaning you have a hard time transmitting oxygen in the blood to other body parts. An easy solution is to take a simle daily supplement of 18mg/daily for 2 weeks. Then have your HGB and HCT checked again to see if the Anemia has improved. Make sure you also take a Vit C supplement with the Iron to help absorb the iron. Hope this helped. Your should have more energy because you'll have more oxygen flowing through your blood! Good luck and if you have anymore health questions feel free to ask. -Elizabeth Segler DTR/LDT

It has been said a chromium deficency can lead to it. Chromiun is processed by stomach acid and use of antiacids can prevent your body from absorbing chromium. Once you have it though there is no cure but there are many ways I know of to slow its progress.

Please consult your doctor, but the short answer is that you use certain medications to chelate the copper within your system.\n\nI am assuming you have Wilson's Dz. The best way to tell is if your physician is able to find "Kayser-Fleisher rings" in the corneas of your eyes.  The current drug of choice is oral penicillamin which causes the excretion of chelated copper which continues indefinitely.  \n\nBest of luck to you. Consult your Primary care physician.

vitamin C is well renowed for its healing and purifying abilities, however, hardened arteries (atherosclerosis) can be very serious (by the way veins dont get clogged just arteries. Blocked, as in malfunctioning valves, but not clogged).\n  What you might try is whats called CHELATE minerals. Very effective for SLOWLY reducing such plaques or inhibited valves. THe best way to do the treatment is intravenously, but many people have good results with oral chelates with EDTA. (Health food store).\n\n   Good luck!

Wilson's Disease is a genetic disorder that is fatal unless detected and treated before serious illness from copper poisoning develops. Wilson's Disease affects approximately one in 30,000 people worldwide. The genetic defect causes excessive copper accumulation in the liver or brain. \n\nSmall amounts of copper are as essential as vitamins. Copper is present in most foods, and most people have much more copper than they need. Healthy people excrete copper they don't need but Wilson's Disease patients cannot. \n\nCopper begins to accumulate immediately after birth. Excess copper attacks the liver or brain, resulting in hepatitis, psychiatric, or neurologic symptoms. The symptoms usually appear in late adolescence. Patients may have jaundice, abdominal swelling, vomiting of blood, and abdominal pain. They may have tremors and difficulty walking, talking and swallowing. They may develop all degrees of mental illness including homicidal or suicidal behavior, depression, and aggression. Women may have menstrual irregularities, absent periods, infertility, or multiple miscarriages. No matter how the disease begins, it is always fatal if it is not diagnosed and treated. \n\nThe first part of the body that copper affects is the liver. In about half of Wilson's Disease patients the liver is the only affected organ. The initial physical changes in the liver are only visible under the microscope. When hepatitis develops, patients are often thought to have infectious hepatitis or infectious mononucleosis when they actually have Wilson's Disease hepatitis. Testing for Wilson's Disease should be performed in individuals with unexplained, abnormal liver tests. \n\nWilson's Disease is a very treatable condition. With proper therapy, disease progress can be halted and oftentimes symptoms can be improved. Treatment is aimed at removing excess accumulated copper and preventing its reaccumulation. Therapy must be lifelong. Patients may become progressively more sick from day to day, so immediate treatment can be critical. Treatment delays may cause irreversible damage. \n\nThe newest FDA-approved drug is zinc acetate (Galzin™). Zinc acts by blocking the absorption of copper in the intestinal tract. This action both depletes accumulated copper and prevents its reaccumulation. Zinc's effectiveness has been shown by more than 30 years of considerable experience overseas. A major advantage of zinc therapy is its lack of side effects. \n\nOther drugs approved for use in Wilson's Disease include penicillamine (Cuprimine, Depen) and trientine (Syprine). Both of these drugs act by chelation or binding of copper, causing its increased urinary excretion. \n\nTetrathiomolybdate is another chelating drug that is under investigation for initial treatment of Wilson's Disease. Thus far, it has not caused the neurological worsening often associated with penicillamine and even with trientine. \n\nPatients with severe hepatitis or liver failure may require liver transplant. Patients being investigated or treated for Wilson's Disease should be cared for by specialists in Wilson's Disease or by specialists in consultation with their primary physicians. \n\nStopping treatment completely will result in death, sometimes as quickly as within three months. Decreasing dosage of medications also can result in unnecessary disease progression.

Que Paso Gringo,\n\nWith all due respect to the other participants answering this question, WHAT THE HELL IS SO GOOD AND EFFECTIVE ABOUT SCIENTIFICALY PROVEN CHEMO AND RADIATION?\n\nIm a natural health practitioner and people who state that EDTA CHELATION its not PROVEN or not SCIENTIFICALY APPROVED are obviously ignorant and have never had the insidious deisease nor have any of their friends or relatives, and God forbid they do, cause those SCIENTIFICALY PROVEN alopathic methods surely will cause an extreme amount of damage besides burning all cells, good and bad, in the system.\n\nI have used EDTA successfuly for Diabetics and Cancer patients along with a proper PH balance and stress control, all contributing factors to any disease.\n\nNone other than a true American Hero such as Dr. Linus Pauling have endorsed EDTA CHELATION for effective non invasive cancer treatments. Linus Pauling, PhD is the only person ever to have received 2 FULL, UNSHARED Nobel Prizes. He was one of the world's greatest biochemists and scientists. Before his death he wrote and researched extensively in the field of alternative and nutritional medicine.\n\nFor more than twenty years Dr. Pauling devoted most of his time to research and educate in the fields of nutrition and preventive medicine. He wrote and lectured extensively about simple, safe and inexpensive measures to improve the length and quality of life. In his recent books, How to Live Longer and Feel Better, he covered that subject at length. \n\nDr. Pauling stated that EDTA chelation therapy fits in well with his views on health care. SO IF THE ESTEEMED FELLOWS ANSWERING THIS QUESTION CAN CALL DR. PAULING A QUACK then it confirms their motives for writing such a ridiculous statement for all the world to see. \n\nAmigo, EDTA is not normally present in the human body and is therefore, by definition, not an Orthomolecular substance. Chelation, however, is far safer and much less expensive than surgical treatments for atherosclerosis. Physicians who adhere to the protocol for safe and effective administration of EDTA, as approved and promulgated by the American College of Advancement in Medicine, integrate the results of the proven research into their chelation program. \n\nThat protocol is published in its entirety fro any medical prefsional or potential patient to review. Improved nutrition and supplementation with vitamins and trace elements is an important part of the overall chelation program. \n\nEDTA chelation therapy makes good sense, It has a rational scientific basis, and the evidence for clinical benefit seems to be quite strong. Metallic ions play an important role in the formation of atherosclerotic plaque. EDTA removes those ions with relative safety and without surgery. Published research and extensive clinical experience show that EDTA helps to reduce and prevent atherosclerotic plaques, thus improving blood flow to the heart and other organs. The scientific evidence indicates that a course of EDTA chelation therapy might eliminate the need for bypass surgery. Chelation has an equally valid rationale for use as a preventive treatment. \n\nFurthermore, yet ANOTHER Nobel Prize winner, and yes this Doctor also won 2 Nobel Prizes, one in 1931 and the other in 1938, Dr. Otto Werberg of Germany, who discovered that cancer is formed when the cells and tissues are "anaerobic", with out sufficent oxygen. EDTA chelation accelerates de detox process removing the excess acid in the body, thereby raising the Alkaline level or oxigen level for all functions of the body and once this is achieved, no way that any tumor, harmful bacteria, germs, parasites or fungus can stay alive in the body, it all now gets naturaly excreted by the waste system.\n\nTherefore, the decision should be obvious, use an alternative treatment that is LEGAL and EFFECTIVE, that costs considerably less than traditional alopathic methods and DOES not cause any secondary damage to the body.\n\nAt your service

You have a raal problem on your hands. If it's Type 2 diabetes, do something about proper choices in your food intake. A viable solution for you would be I.V. chelation therapy. Try to find the book: Reversing Diabetes written by an acquaintance of mine, Dr. Julian Whitaker.\nThese are practical solutions that work. Try to afford the chelation treatments.
