Chelation Therapy: Cautions
- Chelation
should be administered only by a physician experienced in its
safe use. Always check the practitioner's credentials.
- For anything
other than emergency heavy-metal poisoning, do not use chelation
therapy if you have kidney disease or damage, liver disease, or
a brain tumor, or if you have an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism).
- Do not use
chelation therapy if you are pregnant or trying to conceive.
- Never substitute
chelation therapy for conventional heart-disease treatment.
- If you develop
any serious side effects, including anemia, blood clots, irregular
heartbeat, joint pain, or severe inflammation at the area where
the needle was inserted, seek traditional medical treatment immediately.
