What is Chelation Therapy?
Chelation is a process of eradicating or eliminating specific heavy metals from the blood. Heavy metals like lead, mercury, aluminium, arsenic and cadmium have been found in high levels in some children with autism.
Hence, chelation is being used as a treatment for autism associated with metal toxicity. The hypothesis is that chelation therapy may help to improve the symptoms by removing the toxic metals.
