When blood vessels are blocked by calcification, cholesterol, or inflammation reduction of blood flow is seen, thus starving vital organs for oxygen and other nutrients. This then causes the cell walls to become weakened, allowing calcium, sodium and other elements to enter. When calcium accumulates to a critical point, deposits form, like concrete. This can cause coronaries and other arteries to go into spasm, reducing the blood supply to vital organs.

HOW DOES CHELATION HELP?

Chelation therapy promotes health by increasing the blood flow with enhanced collateral circulation. EDTA removes metallic irritants, allowing leaky and damaged cell walls to heal. Scientific studies have proven that blood flow improves after chelation. Your doctor will discuss a complete program with you that should include regular exercise, vitamin and mineral supplements, proper nutrition and avoiding tobacco and other damaging habits. 

IS CHELATION THERAPY SAFE AND DOES IT HAVE SIDE EFFECTS?

Chelation therapy is a very safe medical procedure. Over 400,000 patient have been treated with chelation and not one death has been directly caused by chelation, when it is properly administered by a physician who is fully trained and competent in the use of this therapy. Side effects are possible, as with all drug therapies. You may experience vein irritation, mild pain, headache and fatigue. Occasionally a mild fever occurs. Adjusting the frequency and length of treatments easily controls these side effects. Side effects usually diminish after a few treatments. Most people do not experience any side effects at all. 

HOW WILL I KNOW IF I CAN BENEFIT FROM THIS TREATMENT?

If you experience chest pain or leg pain while walking; shortness of breath; discoloration in your feet; transient loss of vision; paralysis; or rapidly failing memory, see your doctor! Any unexplained or persistent symptoms that affect your heart, head or limbs should be explored for circulatory problems.

CAN ANY PHYSICIAN GIVE ME THIS TREATMENT?

Physicians must take courses to train in the safe use of chelation therapy. The American College for Advancement in Medicine offers these courses twice a year. The FDA has approved chelation therapy for the treatment of lead poisoning and several other conditions. Treatment for collateral circulation is not yet an allowable claim for inclusion in the marketing literature of EDTA.

I was 22 years old but certainly felt as if I was trapped in a 70 year old body...

Hope is a beautiful thing. The first time I saw Doctor Dornfeld, I had almost given up on life. I was 22 years old but certainly felt as if I was trapped in a 70 year old body. Nothing seemed easy. Every day was a struggle. I had so many health issues and too many symptoms impacting my life.

I was always tired no matter how much I slept. Nothing seemed to make a difference. My body was severely fatigued. Further, I experienced loss of memory, anxiety, intestinal issues, hormonal imbalances, depression, hair loss, brain fog, etc.

I experienced a near-syncopal episode more than once and I had developed a very low blood pressure of about 80/40.

After being finally diagnosed with mercury toxicity and malabsorption in my GI tract, I started chelation therapy in early summer of 2007.

I went through many EDTA sessions followed by urinary challenge tests to evaluate my improvement. I felt a change in my well being within the first couple of treatments, and my energy level started to improve. However, I did experience some side effects from the chelation owing to the multitude of toxins that had been released. I facilitated the detoxification process with help of added supplementation suggested by Dr. Dornfeld.

Later my treatment was advanced to DMPS, since the mercury needed a more advanced treatment. I stopped DMPS in December of 2007, and felt like life was given back to me once again, after having endured over 10 years of pain, and inappropriate treatments.

I can't thank Dr. Dornfeld enough for the joy I'm able to experience again each day.

I continue with Chelation once a month and have recommended this alternative method for clearing blocked arteries to others...

Chelation Therapy since 2003

About 3 years ago, I felt ill with chest pain and had difficulty breathing. I went to the Emergency Room at Jersey Shore Medical Center. Preliminary tests showed an irregular heartbeat and high blood pressure. The irregular heartbeat improved in about an hour. I received medication for high blood pressure and was admitted for more workups – EKG, echo cardiogram, stress tests, etc. and the attending cardiologist diagnosed a possible blockage behind the heart.

After consulting with Dr. Dornfeld, I started Chelation Therapy about a week later. I went twice a week for one year, then once a week for another year. A follow-up stress test, about 3 years later, revealed no abnormalities or blockages.

I feel good, work out at a gym 2 or 3 days a week, and am being weaned from the blood pressure medication. I continue with Chelation once a month and have recommended this alternative method for clearing blocked arteries to others. I am 82 years old.

I would urge you to seriously consider this alternative therapy...

Chelation Therapy Patient

For many years I listened with great interest to the endless stream of amazing stories my parents would recount upon returning from their monthly Chelation Treatments. I determined then, some 20 years ago, that “some day” I would also take these treatments to prevent heart disease and circulatory problems which had plagued my parents. These treatments proved successful in enhancing and extending their lives far beyond their predicted longevity.

A sudden TIA hastened my “some day”. I joined the host of others who were finding new life through these artery cleansing, circulation enhancing IVs. My list of amazing stories increased rapidly as I listened first hand to those who had been afflicted with metal toxicity, heart disease and diabetes, most having cardiac surgeries in their histories. For many, usually at the urging of a friend, trying Chelation was a last ditch effort to hang onto their life – a hope whereby they might attain some measure of health and possibly eradicate their pain and shortness of breath upon even slight exertion. For them, the results of these treatments far exceeded their expectations. For me, Chelation Treatments have kept my arteries clear while feeling younger and more energetic than a 73 year old should.

Over the years of my experience with Chelation, I have watched many lives change – most now actively engaged in pain-free, occupational and recreational activity. It strongly confirmed to me that Chelation is one of the best and wisest things anyone can do for their heart, circulation and overall health. I would urge you to seriously consider this alternative therapy as a way to a richer, longer, healthier life.

...after completing a few months of treatments, I feel like a new man!

My name is F. Gary Stover Jr. I am now 39 years old and feeling incredibly well. One year ago I was not sure that I would ever be able to say those words. My history goes back a few years to when I first started feeling ill. I went to various Physicians complaining of symptoms including headaches, body-aches, nausea, G.I. problems and a lack of energy. Each doctor would usually treat me with a course of antibiotics (after which I would feel even worse), prescribe a bunch of blood tests, give me a prescription for something and tell me that I would feel fine in a few weeks.

This went on for about three years with my health getting progressively worse and my list of complaints steadily adding up. I was now feeling very depressed, I had lost over 40 pounds, and was not able to work due to my total exhaustion. I had give up on going to any more doctors because none were able to say what was wrong with me, yet the list of medications I was on was growing and growing. I truly looked like a terminally ill person.

I decided that I would give a doctor one more try when I heard about Dr. Dornfeld and his experience in practicing both Traditional and Alternative, or Complimentary Medicine. He listened to my story, took one look at me and said I was probably suffering form a toxic build-up of metals and pesticides, from years of exposure. He indeed quickly confirmed this with a hair analysis and other tests that clearly explained what he had suspected. Dr. Dornfeld immediately started me on a course of I.V. Chelation and vitamin therapy, explaining how the EDTA would help clear my body of what causing so many problems, and the I. V. vitamins would replenish what I was so lacking.

I have to say that now, after completing a few months of treatments, I feel like a new man! My energy is back, I have been able to return to work and I can actually enjoy life once again. My friends now see me and cannot believe that “I am back to my former self.” I have to credit Dr. Dornfeld with doing what I thought no doctor would ever be able to do; diagnosing my illness and giving me back my life. I thank him from the deepest depths of my heart.

With the addition of hyperbaric oxygen chambers to his office, we have been able to add that into my therapy, resulting in an even greater improvement in my quality of life. The combination of these alterative treatments, along with Dr. Dornfeld’s knowledge of diagnosing what many other doctors could not, is absolutely unmatched in any other practice I have visited. I cannot thank him enough.

Thank You again Dr. Dave!

I ... have gone from extremely ill to almost well in less than 2 months...

Dr. Dornfeld, I wanted to write to compliment you on the extraordinary health care services offered at your Family Wellness Center.

As you know, I have suffered from chronic health problems for over 15 years and, in 2007, developed a severe systemic fungal infection, including most of my digestive tract. I lost 60 pounds over the course of the infection, became unable to work. I was hospitalized 4 times in early December due to the severity of my condition, which alluded over a dozen doctors at some of the most highly regarded hospitals in NYC and NJ, while my condition grew worse daily.

Not only were you able to readily test for and confirm the suspected infection, but you also found extremely high levels of toxic metals in my system that no other doctor has ever tested for or suggested as a potential cause for my chronic health problems.

Fortunately, your center offers a wide variety of unique treatment options, all of which are helping me to recover fairly quickly. Due to the severity of my condition, I chose to take advantage of all of the following options, including:

• IV vitamin C and Alpha Lipoic Acid drips to fight the fungal infection as well as symptoms of arthritis.
• IV Chelation to remove toxic metals and improve my cardiovascular health.
• Glutathione pushes to give me increased energy.
• Hyperbaric oxygen therapy to increase oxygen throughout my cells to speed healing.
• Acupuncture to treat pain, stress, and other symptoms of the infection.
• Massage therapy for pain and stress.
• Dietary supplements (anti-fungal, antioxidants, energy, general health, etc.).
• Mainstream medication, including safe alternatives to narcotic and anti-inflammatory medications that had been previously prescribed in very high doses.

I found each of the above treatment options to be very effective as part of my overall treatment and, as a result, have gone from extremely ill to almost well in less than 2 months. Thanks to these treatments and related dietary changes, I no longer show any signs of being pre-diabetic, and my blood pressure is better than it’s ever been, without medication.

Aside from the treatments, I also want to compliment you and your staff, all of whom are extremely knowledgeable and courteous and have played such an important role in my ongoing recovery. Thanks to all of you, I expect to be able to go back to work in the next month or two.

I am, of course, extremely grateful and recommend you, your staff, and the Family Wellness Center every chance I get.

Many Thanks!
Dirk B.
