kelaatioterapia

Kelaatioterapia, also known as chelation therapy, is a medical treatment that involves the administration of chelating agents to remove heavy metals from the body. These agents bind to metal ions, forming a stable complex that can then be excreted from the body, typically through urine. It is primarily used to treat heavy metal poisoning, such as lead, mercury, or arsenic poisoning. Specific chelating drugs are chosen based on the type of metal suspected to be present. The treatment can be administered intravenously or orally, and the duration and frequency depend on the severity of the poisoning and the specific chelating agent used. While effective for diagnosed heavy metal toxicity, kelaatioterapia has also been explored for other conditions, though its efficacy and safety in these contexts are often debated and not widely supported by scientific evidence. Potential side effects can include kidney damage, allergic reactions, and electrolyte imbalances, and therefore, it should only be administered under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.
