Chelation Therapy

at Sequoia

A physician-supervised protocol for the safe removal of toxic heavy metals from the body. Clinical detoxification that protects what matters most: your long-term health.

What your body accumulates, chelation removes.

Chelation therapy is a clinically established protocol that uses an intravenous chelating agent, most commonly EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid), to bind to these metals in the bloodstream and facilitate their excretion through the kidneys. The result is a measurable reduction in toxic metal burden and a cleaner internal environment for healing and repair.

01

Heavy metal reduction

Binds to and removes accumulated toxic metals including lead, mercury, cadmium, and aluminium from the bloodstream and tissues.

02

Cardiovascular support

Research suggests chelation therapy may support vascular health by reducing arterial plaque, improving blood flow, and lowering oxidative stress on the cardiovascular system.

03

Reduced oxidative stress

By removing metals that drive free radical production, chelation therapy helps reduce systemic inflammation and oxidative damage across tissues and organs.

04

Neurological protection

Toxic metal accumulation has been linked to cognitive decline and neurological impairment. Chelation supports the body's capacity to protect brain function over time.

Your Chelation therapy journey.

Your physician begins with diagnostic testing, including a chelation challenge test, to measure your current heavy metal burden. This establishes a clear baseline and determines whether chelation is clinically appropriate for you.

Based on your results, your physician designs a personalised chelation programme, including the number of sessions, frequency, and any supportive nutrient supplementation to replenish essential minerals during treatment.

EDTA is administered intravenously in a calm, private setting over the course of one to three hours per session. Your clinical team monitors you throughout, tracking vitals and ensuring your comfort.

Between and after sessions, your physician tracks your progress through follow-up testing, adjusting the protocol as your metal levels decrease. Essential mineral levels are also monitored to ensure your body remains in balance throughout the process.

Who is the Chelation therapy for?

Chelation therapy may be right for you if...

You have elevated heavy metal levels.

Whether identified through a Sequoia Assessment, a chelation challenge test, or external testing, elevated levels of lead, mercury, or other toxic metals are a clear indication for chelation therapy under physician supervision.

You are focused on cardiovascular health.

For clients managing cardiovascular risk factors or seeking to support long-term vascular function, chelation therapy may complement your wider care plan by reducing oxidative burden on the heart and arteries.

You are investing in deep, systemic detoxification.

For clients already engaged in functional and preventative care, chelation therapy addresses a layer of toxicity that standard detox protocols cannot reach, removing what the body cannot eliminate on its own.

True detoxification begins at the deepest level.

At Sequoia Clinic, chelation therapy is never prescribed without context. It sits within the Regenerate pillar of our five-pillar approach and is guided by diagnostic testing that first establishes your toxic metal levels. We measure before we treat, and we monitor throughout.

FAQ

Thoughtful answers for your journey

What is chelation therapy?

Chelation therapy is a medical procedure in which a chelating agent, most commonly EDTA or DMPS, is administered intravenously to bind toxic heavy metals in the bloodstream. Once bound, the metals are excreted safely through the kidneys. It is an established clinical protocol used to reduce the body's burden of metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and aluminium.

How do I know if I need chelation therapy?

The first step is testing. Your physician will assess your heavy metal levels through diagnostic bloodwork or a chelation challenge test, which measures the metals your body releases in response to a controlled dose of the chelating agent. This data determines whether chelation is appropriate and, if so, how intensive your protocol should be.

How long does a chelation session take?

Each session typically lasts between one and three hours, depending on the protocol and your clinical picture. You are welcome to relax in a private treatment setting throughout.

How many sessions will I need?

This depends on your baseline metal levels and your clinical goals. Many clients undergo a series of 10 to 20 sessions, administered weekly or fortnightly. Your physician will design a programme based on your test results and adjust it as your levels improve.

Are there any side effects?

Chelation therapy is well tolerated when administered by qualified professionals. The most common side effect is mild discomfort at the injection site. Because EDTA can also bind essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and zinc, your physician will monitor these levels throughout treatment and recommend appropriate supplementation.

Can chelation therapy be combined with other treatments?

Chelation therapy works well alongside other Regenerate protocols, including PRP and exosome therapy, and can complement treatments such as IV therapy and ozone therapy. Your physician will ensure your treatment plan is cohesive and well sequenced.
