What is the difference between intravenous chelation and oral chelation?
The only apparent differences between intravenous chelation therapy and oral chelation are that the medication is administered by a drip directly into your blood stream, where it begins to work slightly faster than oral administration. Intravenous chelation therapy must be prescribed and overseen by a physician. EDTA travels throughout the body gathering up such toxic metals as lead, arsenic, and aluminum from various organs. It also removes the plaque buildup commonly found in diseased arteries.
