Detoxamin: Understanding the Benefits of Chelation Therapy

Detoxamin is a form of chelation therapy. Chelation therapy is the process of administering certain agents that will remove poisoning from heavy metals such as lead, iron, copper, calcium, magnesium, zinc, plutonium and manganese. Chelation therapy can be done in many ways, but there are some benefits to using Detoxamin instead of other forms of chelation therapy.

Type

• Some forms of chelation therapy can be done with infusion or by orally taking pills. Detoxamin is a form of chelation therapy that is done with suppositories. A suppository is a form of delivering drugs that requires inserting the medicine into the rectum or vagina.

Effects

• According to the Detoxamin website, toxic metals have been known to clog arteries. Detoxamin will flush the arteries and provide protection from heart disease.

Safety

• Since Detoxamin is in the form of a suppository, it can be safer than some other forms of chelation therapy. For example, some chelation therapy is done by injection with a needle, and needles pose a chance of infection. Detoxamin has no known health risks.

Convenience

• Sometimes, chelation therapy can be inconvenient because it has to be administered by a doctor if it is the form of an injection. Detoxamin is convenient because the person taking it can administer the suppository without a doctor visit.

Effectiveness

• The only other form of chelation therapy that is as convenient and safe as Detoxamin is in pill form. But a pill doesn't absorb as much of the toxic metal as a suppository, so it takes much longer to work.
