Chelation Therapy is an intravenous treatment that uses a solution containing minerals, vitamins, and a special amino acid called EDTA. It is widely used to treat angina, coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis, heavy metal toxicity, and hypertension. CheZone Therapy is a unique combination of Chelation Therapy and Ozone Therapy.
Request an AppointmentCheZone Therapy is Dr. Shallenberger’s own innovation and has been shown to significantly enhance the well-established benefits of Chelation Therapy. Chelation improves circulation, allowing more oxygen to reach body tissues. Ozone Therapy enables cells to use this oxygen with far greater efficiency. When used together, these two therapies create a powerful synergistic effect — each boosting the benefits of the other. For this reason, in most clinical settings, CheZone Therapy is preferred over Chelation Therapy alone.
Chelation Therapy works by delivering EDTA intravenously. EDTA has a strong attraction for heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, nickel, and arsenic. It binds to these metals, allowing them to be safely removed from the body through the urine.
In addition to removing toxic metals, Chelation Therapy can help mobilize calcium deposits that accumulate in the arteries with age. For this reason, it is also used to help reverse arterial hardening, reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. More information about chelation therapy can be found at the American College for Advancement in Medicine’s website, www.acam.org.
As part of a general revitalization program, individuals over the age of 60 may benefit from a routine course of Chelation Therapy. It is also commonly used for patients with existing coronary artery disease, arteriosclerosis, or hypertension.
