Intravenous chelation therapy is generally performed at a clinic, the patient receives a treatment two times per week for fifteen weeks, with each treatment taking approximately 3 to 4 hours, this is just one of the Methods of Chelation Therapy which is the most expensive and time consuming, it is necessary to have around 20 to 30 treatments.
Although the absorption rate is 100% IV may not be appropriate for everyone, considering the high cost, the time involved and the lack of experienced Clinics that perform the procedure.
If not properly administered it can be very hard on the body, especially for people with kidney problems.
Other Methods of Chelation Therapy
Pills & Tablets
There are a few of these on the market, they were first introduced as an alternative to the regular IV treatment however the absorption rate in tablet form is only 5% which means you would have to take a great deal of them over a long period of time to be able to guage any effect. Considering the amount of tablets you must take to absorb the formula this is not only impractical but can also work out very expensive.
