Chelation: The new cleanser

Chelation therapy may be the answer to a metal free body and a clear heart...but the medical fraternity still needs to accept it

Chelation: The new cleanser

The human body must be detoxified and cleansed if it has toheal by itself. Urbanisation leaves us with loads of heavy metals andpollutants invading our bodies and makes it sick.

“Get detoxified andkeep away from diseases,” says Dr Lenny D’Costa of Rafael Medicare Centre atMargao who does exactly that to his patients who get their bodies detoxified ofheavy metals by undergoing Chelation therapy since 2003 in Goa. He is also thescientific advisor of the Asia Chapter of World Anti-Aging Medicine (WAAM) anda faculty of A4M in Asia. He has been lecturing in Malaysia, Bali, Istanbul,Thailand, Australia and Shanghai and attending A4M conferences all over Asia.

    “Chelationtherapy is relatively non-toxic and risk-free, especially when compared withother treatments,” claims Dr Lenny who is certified by the International Boardof Clinical Metal Toxicology, USA. “I began practicing as a physician from 1996but after 10 years I diverted into various alternative branches of medicine andpost-graduated in Functional Medicines from John Hopkins University, USA,” heshares.

Explaining whatChelation is he says, “Chelation is a treatment with the administration of aminoacid called Ethylene Diamine Tetraacetic Acid (EDTA) intravenously over severalhours. This acid bonds with the unwanted heavy metals like Cadmium and Lead inthe body and quickly carries them away in the urine. Chelation stresses onimproving the quality of life, and is not a cure.”

Dr Lenny feelsthat the day one starts putting on weight is the first sign of alarm thatthere’s something wrong. “Get yourself tested,” he says recommending paneltests for females who face two problems simultaneously “ weight gain andmenstrual irregularities.

Dr Lenny feels, “Itis not food that makes you put on weight, but it is the hormonal imbalance thatmakes you gain that extra pound. Today’s generation is malnourished, even ifthey look obese. We don’t consume nutrients in proper proportions even if weeat a lot. The baby fat should disappear normally as soon as the child reachespuberty. But if it doesn’t, that’s an alarming sign for the parents who shouldfind out why.”

Digestiveproblems like gas, constipation or loose motion are symptoms or signs of someother illness. Fatigue is a sign that your body needs attention. Do not pamperyour body but when it calls, listen to it. Get it cleansed to allow it to healitself naturally,” concludes Dr Lenny.
