Chelation is a type of therapy which is used to remove heavy metals from the body. To 'chelate' is 'to bond'. Some herbs and supplements bond with the heavy metals to remove them from the body. It is pronounced 'keylation'.

== == Chelation (pronounced as key- LAY-shun) is a chemical substance that binds molecules, such as metals or minerals, and holds them tightly so they can be removed from the body. It is scientifically established to remove excess or toxic metals before they cause further damage to the body. EDTA is the most famous man- made chelation therapy. EDTA stands for (ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid). EDTA chelation is used by some physicians and alternative medicine practitioners to improve circulation and treat this disorder by removing calcium deposits and plaques from the arteries.

Chelating, pronounced kee-leyt-ing, is a method of detoxifying the body. To chelate, is to bind an organic material with a metal. This is often done in alternative medicine to remove Mercury, lead, and aluminum. Recommended materials for removal include NAC, Selenium, and this combination, which was recommended by a Japanese physician:

* 1 cup of Extra Virgin organic olive oil (cold pressed) * 2 large bunches of cilantro * 8 large cloves of garlic
