Naturopathic IV • Detoxification Care

Chelation Therapy — IV Weak Chelation

We provide weak chelation support via IV therapy. High‑Dose Vitamin C IV and Glutathione are utilized to help buffer oxidative stress, support liver pathways, and aid the safe handling of mobilized toxins.

What We Offer

🧴

IV-Based Support Only: Our clinic does not offer oral or IV chelating agents (e.g., EDTA, DMSA). Instead, we use supportive IVs to enhance antioxidant status and detox capacity in a monitored setting.

🛡️

Safety & Monitoring: Treatments are individualized and follow a screening process to review medications, dental history, and relevant lab work. Frequency and dosing are adjusted to tolerance and goals.

Potential exposure sources

  • Historic mercury amalgam dental fillings (managed by your dentist)
  • Older homes with lead paint or aging water infrastructure
  • Personal care products: cosmetics, shampoos, mouthwash, toothpaste, soaps
  • Workplace exposure: dental/medical, labs/pharma, hair/cosmetic, painters/potters, printing, welding/metal work, battery making, etc.

Heavy metals are a known contributor to oxidative stress (second only to radioactive materials as a source of oxidative damage).

Linked health considerations

  • Immune dysregulation and increased oxidative stress
  • Neuro‑cognitive concerns; learning difficulties
  • Accelerated aging mechanisms
  • Early cognitive decline associations (e.g., aluminum burden, vascular factors)

Discussion is individualized; evidence quality varies by exposure type and condition.

Our IVs for Gentle Chelation Support

High‑Dose Vitamin C IV

IV Vitamin C (commonly 10–50 g, as clinically appropriate) reaches plasma levels not possible by mouth. In protocols aimed at detox support, Vitamin C:

  • May loosely bind metal ions and assist movement toward elimination pathways
  • Supports liver detox by replenishing glutathione and influencing phase I/II activity

Vitamin C is not a direct chelator like EDTA but can help within a broader, gentle detox strategy.

Glutathione IV

Glutathione is the body’s master antioxidant and a key player in phase II detoxification. By IV, it can:

  • Conjugate with certain metals (e.g., mercury, arsenic) for safer cellular handling
  • Support GST activity and help prevent redistribution during detox
  • Recycle other antioxidants (Vitamin C/E) to protect tissues

Our Process

1) Assessment

History, exposure review, medications, dental status, and baseline labs. We set goals and discuss expected timelines.

2) IV Plan & Monitoring

Sessions are scheduled based on your needs, with periodic check‑ins and labs as indicated to track tolerance and progress.
