Common heavy metals found in the human body are: arsenic, copper, iron, mercury, lead, calcium, and aluminum.

Common Detox Protocols

Start with an initial consultation, a Heavy Metal Urine Test kit, + IV EDTA and/or DMSA capsules.

  • IV Treatment Plan: 5 rounds of weekly chelation therapy treatments, alternating with weekly high dose vitamin/mineral replenishment IVs. Additional nutritional support + depuration techniques are always advised.

  • Oral Chelation Plan: DMSA is taken two days on + then five days off. This is done for 10 week sessions, often for up to 12 months. The urine test is repeated on the first day of taking DMSA on every tenth week.

  • Common Clearance Results by Round:

    20% of patients are cleared by tenth round

    60% of patients are cleared by fifteen rounds

    20% of patients take twenty or more rounds

    (“Round” is typically 14 days for IV therapy or 1 week for Oral Chelation)

    Combining EDTA, DMPS and DMSA have given very rapid cleansing results.
