Guest guest Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 As I understand it and in layman's terms... Chelation is a treatment that releases metals that were previously stored in body fat. The issue here is whether that is such a good idea. Dr. Goldberg believes in the body's natural defenses against viruses and toxins. I have heard him say on more than one occasion that our bodies are very " smart. " If our bodies store metals and other toxins into fat instead of processing them properly, there may be a really good reason for that. If the body wasn't healthy enough to process those chemicals, storing them would be its defense so that they aren't moving around in the system doing damage. Releasing those stored metals/toxins on your terms in your time (chelation) and not waiting for the body to process them properly on it's own terms when it is ready may not be wise. When the body is healthy and the immune system has been strengthened, it will process metals and toxins as a healthy body should. At worst, chelation might do harm. At best, it is just dealing with a symptom of a poor immune system. Dr. Goldberg would rather treat the source of the body's issues than use a band-aid, a potentially harmful one at that. I believe that this accurately describes his concerns and I hope that it helps. April chellation Hi: I have read that dr. G doesn´t chellate kids, so i stopped (after 1 year).
