One of the cornerstones of effective management of chronic health conditions such as CFS, fibromyalgia, cardiovascular disease and auto-immune diseases, is to help the body rid itself of heavy metal overload. Heavy metals attach themselves to sites where normally minerals such as zinc and copper would act.
In order to optimise cell function, the body needs to shed its burden of heavy metals and toxins. Chelating agents accelerate the natural excretion of heavy metals and other toxins stored in the body.
