Chelation therapy is the process of eliminating toxic heavy metals, such as lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium, from your body. Lead and mercury are the most common contaminants. Substances called chelates attach to heavy metals and help eliminate them.
Dr. Liebowitz diagnoses heavy metal toxicity through urine tests. Chelation therapy can be given by mouth or by intravenous infusion.
Dr. Liebowitz determines whether infusion or oral therapy best suits your needs. He uses substances called chelates. Chelates bind to the heavy metals and eliminate them from your body.
Whether the medication is administered by infusion or orally, it binds to the heavy metals and they are eliminated.
Heavy metal poisoning can present as mental confusion, headache, weakness, joint or muscle pain, nausea, vomiting, or fatigue.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved prescription chelation therapy for the treatment of lead and other metal poisonings.
Old houses often contain lead paint on the walls. Sometimes the corrosion on lead pipes carrying water causes significant lead contamination in children and adults. Adults who work in auto repair shops or contractors who renovate older homes might also be exposed to heavy metals. Mercury is a common component in old dental fillings and now, unfortunately, a common contaminant in fish and seafood.
Even small amounts of lead or mercury can cause serious health problems.
Chelation therapy is not recommended for women who are pregnant or for patients with heart or kidney disease. Side effects may include high blood pressure, headache, and low blood sugar. Always coordinate any recommendation for chelation with your healthcare professionals before beginning treatment.

Dr. Liebowitz evolved as a healer by integrating his traditional training in Internal Medicine, his decades-long ER experience and his studies in functional medicine. Functional medicine is a discipline that strives to reverse the course of a disease rather than just treating the symptoms, the typical approach of traditional medicine. His individualized approach to healing and longevity takes into account all relevant factors including the patient’s environment, diet, lifestyle habits and his or her genetic history.
