If your GP refers you to us by writing, clearly stating "NHS Referral", requesting that we see you as an NHS patient under the ECR scheme (Extra Contractual Referral). We would then approach your Health Authority on your behalf. However it is not certain the Health Authority would approve, and in many cases it has involved long delays even if successful. The decision is the Health Authority's and not all accept the international evidence that Chelation can work.

Intravenous chelation therapy, a simple office procedure using ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) reverses and slows the progression of atherosclerosis and other age-related and degenerative diseases. Symptoms affecting many different parts of the body often improve, for reasons that are not yet fully understood. Blood flow increases in blocked coronary arteries to the heart, to the brain, to the legs, and all throughout the body.

Chelation is a treatment by which a small amino acid called ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (commonly abbreviated EDTA) is slowly administered to a patient intravenously over several hours, prescribed by and under the supervision of a licensed physician. The fluid containing EDTA is infused through a small needle placed in the vein of a patient's arm. The EDTA infusion bonds with unwanted metals in the body and quickly carries them away in the urine.

Not widely at this time. Mr Chaloner and Mr Sweeney do offer EVLT on the NHS at Lewisham Hospital where they treat approximately 25 patients per month

Answer: The best that can be said for chelation therapy is that any effectiveness in relieving chest pain is in the eyes of the beholder. Testimony abounds about the relief of chest pain that occurs after a series of treatments. The problem is that similar relief can be obtained with prayer, meditation., acupuncture, angioplasty, coronary artery bypass surgery and placebos.

Not at present, though it is hoped that the NHS will adopt the Buteyko Method as frontline management for asthma in the future.

The Department of Health has stated that there are neither plans nor the resources to make laser eye treatment available on the NHS. It is also unlikely that those with private health insurance would reclaim their fees.

My stepson was diagnosed with Aspergers many years ago. His mother, father and I are very involved in trying to help him. We have also worked very closely with his schools for the best possible results. BUT, here we are at age 13, a difficult age for all kids. We are beginning to see significant mood swings, especially in the evenings as his medicine is wearing off. We are working to find information about medicating as they grow up and possibly information on supplements that might help him.

Chelation Therapy is a safe, effective and relatively inexpensive treatment to restore blood flow in victims of atherosclerosis without surgery. Chelation Therapy involves the intravenous infusion of a prescription medicine called Ethylene Diamine Tetra-Acetic Acid (EDTA), plus vitamins and minerals at therapeutic dosages. EDTA chelation infusions are administered by slow drip, circulating through the blood stream treating the entire arterial system removing undesirable metals from the body.

Detoxamin is an over-the counter, patented EDTA chelation suppository that is medically equal to the IV EDTA method, and has made EDTA chelation therapy accessible to everyone. More affordable. Detoxamin is 70% less than IV EDTA chelation. Every three Detoxamin is medically equal to approximately one IV EDTA chelation treatment. More convenient. No more traveling to your doctor's office for the treatment.

Oral chelation involves the ingestion of natural chelating substances. Various vitamins minerals amino acids antioxidants phytonutrients and herbs can be used to supplement the benefits of the numerous chelating agents. The addition of these substances helps to replenish any loss of nutrients that may occur during the chelation process. In so far as possible all ingredients are derived from natural sources.

Along with the toxic metals that chelation removes, it will also remove some calcium, zinc, and chromium. You should take a multi-mineral supplement in the morning to put these minerals back into your body. Since only a small amount is removed, any standard multi-mineral product will be sufficient.

Chelation (pronounced KEY-LAY-SHUN) is the process by which a metal or mineral (such as lead, mercury, iron, arsenic, aluminum, calcium, etc.) is bonded to another substance-in this case EDTA, an amino acid. It is a natural process, basic to life itself. Chelation is one mechanism by which such common substances as aspirin, antibiotics, vitamins, minerals and trace elements work in the body. Hemoglobin, the red pigment in blood which carries oxygen, is a chelate of iron.

Crowns are provided under the NHS if there is a clinical need. However, tooth-coloured crowns are not available on back biting teeth. If you would like to have a crown for cosmetic reasons and you do not have a clinical need, a dentist will be able to carry out the procedure privately. It is advisable to get a written estimate and treatment plan before beginning your dental treatment.

No, not yet. It has not yet been approved by NICE, the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence. There is concern that widespread use of this drug on the NHS will cost more money than the NHS can reasonably be expected to fund.

A1: A good circulation is essential to the good health of everyone. Problems don’t walk into the office, patients do. It is inevitable in today’s world with heart disease and diabetes so prevalent that poor circulation to the heart, legs, kidneys, brain and elsewhere become health priorities. If poor circulation is indeed the most important issue, then chelation therapy, recognized in medical circles for over fifty years as a benefit to improve circulation, is a recommended therapy.

Chelation therapy promotes health by correcting the major underlying cause of arterial blockage. Damaging oxygen free radicals are increased by the presence of metallic elements and act as a chronic irritant to blood vessel walls and cell membranes. EDTA removes those metallic irritants, allowing leaky and damaged cell walls to heal. Plaques smooth over and shrink, allowing more blood to pass. Arterial walls become softer and more pliable, allowing easier expansion.
