Mycotoxins, which are naturally-occurring toxins produced by molds, or fungi, that can be harmful to humans and animals. These can occur from exposure to pesticides or heavy metals, according to a 2003 study.1
“The acute symptoms in animals include liver, spleen and kidney damage and toxicity to the immune system. For humans, nausea, gastrointestinal disturbances and vomiting have been reported,” per the World Health Organization.2
Many people who are exposed to mycotoxins may be unaware. Mold IV therapy, like chelation therapy, can help to address the root cause of a potential exposure.
What is chelation therapy?
Chelation therapy involves the use of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), a synthetic polyamino-polycarboxylic acid, to remove heavy metals, like mercury, lead or arsenic, from the blood stream. Chelation agents help to mobilize the toxic metals by finding and sticking to them and creating a substance that leaves the body, primarily through urine.
It is widely considered the preeminent medical treatment for reducing the effects of exposure to heavy metals.3
IV Elements offers three different dosages of EDTA, ranging from 0.8g to 3g, through an IV drip. Each mold IV therapy treatment can take as little as half an hour for smaller doses to four hours for larger doses. The recommended dosage and length of chelation therapy treatments will depend on lab work and current medical conditions.
Chelation therapy benefits
If you’re experiencing symptoms of mycotoxins, an IV treatment for mold toxicity may be a beneficial option as it can help to:
- Reduce stress, fatigue and inflammation
- Enhance blood flow
- Restore cell materials
Side effects of chelation therapy
While chelation therapy has been used for decades to treat exposure to heavy metals, it isn’t a proven treatment for heart disease, according to the Mayo Clinic.4 The most common negative side effect is a burning sensation where the medicine was administered, but others include headache, fever, nausea and vomiting.
It’s recommended that anyone pursuing chelation therapy as an alternative medicine treatment consult their health care provider to discuss potential benefits and risks.
IV treatment for mold toxicity
Chelation thearpy is just one of five different options that IV Elements offers to help treat mold exposure. Other options include:
- Major Autohemotherapy & Saline Ozone
- 10-pass Ozone Therapy
- Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (UVBI) Treatments
- Methyl Blue IV Therapy
