Chelation & Detoxification Support

What Is Chelation & Detoxification Support?

Chelation therapy uses specific agents, administered orally or intravenously, that bind to heavy metals in the bloodstream, enabling them to be excreted by the kidneys. Chelation therapy is FDA-approved for documented heavy metal poisoning (e.g., lead, mercury, arsenic). Its use in integrative and functional medicine for broader wellness support is an evolving area of study; such applications are supportive in nature and are not a substitute for conventional medical treatment of heavy metal toxicity.

At AWAREmed, chelation and detoxification support is always conducted under the direct supervision of Dr. Dalal Akoury, MD. We never offer detoxification protocols without a thorough clinical evaluation, including detailed health history, relevant lab work, kidney and liver function assessment, and a review of your current medications and health conditions.

Detoxification support at AWAREmed goes beyond chelation. Dr. Akoury addresses the full spectrum of the body's detoxification pathways, liver, kidneys, lymphatic system, gut, and skin, with personalized nutritional, lifestyle, and therapeutic support designed to optimize your body's natural cleansing capacity.

The Treatment Process at AWAREmed

This includes detailed lab work, heavy metal testing, liver and kidney function panels, inflammatory markers, and nutritional status assessment. Based on results, a personalized protocol is designed that may include IV or oral chelation (as appropriate), nutritional support, liver-supportive therapies, IV nutrient infusions, and lifestyle guidance. All interventions are closely monitored throughout.
