Chelation hypothesis

The Chelation hypothesis suggests that heavy metals like lead, mercury, or cadmium can interfere with the body's natural biochemical processes by binding to vital minerals and enzymes. This "binding" forms stable complexes called chelates, which can disrupt normal cell function, contribute to oxidative stress, and potentially lead to health problems. Essentially, the hypothesis proposes that these metals "trap" essential nutrients, impairing their roles and possibly causing or worsening certain conditions. It underscores the importance of removing accumulated heavy metals to restore proper biological function and maintain health.
