I.V. Chelation (the benchmark of EDTA Chelation Therapy)
The Leo J. Bolles Clinic
Intravenous (IV) chelation therapy is completed in a Doctor’s office. You must be tested and monitored while in therapy. IV therapy uses a needle to drip in the solution, approximately 3 grams of EDTA, and sometimes other supplements, per session. The average therapy is a 30 session contract. Each session lasts around three hours, normally scheduled three times per week. Each session costs in the range of $85 – $150.
Summary:
- 90 grams EDTA (30 sessions)
- 10 weeks at 3 session per week
- 30 sessions @ $100 (average) per session = $3,000.00
- That’s $33.33 per gram of EDTA
