No running system is 100 percent efficient. The same is true for the human body. In addition, the removal of abnormal ions lessens the likelihood of toxins building up on blood vessel walls. Clinical benefits from chelation therapy vary, depending on the total number of treatments received and on the severity of the condition. On the average, however, it is estimated that over seventy-five percent of treated patients show significant improvement from chelation therapy, and ninety percent of treated patients who receive thirty or more treatments benefit greatly when they combine chelation with significant changes in their diet, exercise patterns, and lifestyle choices.
Treatment often lasts three months, or approximately thirty sessions for arterial blockage.
The number of sessions per week varies depending on the patient's condition, but the administration is often performed on a weekly basis. The session lasts about one and a half hours, during which the patient can read, relax, watch television, or catch up on correspondence. Adding to the long list of benefits of chelation therapy is the ease with which EDTA is administered, the most discomfort aspect o fit being the intravenous needle's pinprick that starts the infusion. Following the treatment, patients can proceed with their usual activities. Pretreatment testing is an important precaution to chelation therapy, since your physician must determine an appropriate medication dosage, the rate of dosage, and a safe interval between infusions.
