Burkich stresses the importance of chelation therapy.

Heavy metal toxicity is a real problem many face. Heavy metals can show up in many processed foods. Heavy metals are also present in most cookware, and get into food through cooking. Heavy metals can cause various illnesses. The human body has no method by which heavy metals can be processed or removed. Robert Burkich believes this can be dangerous to the environment of the body. Chelation therapy is a method by which heavy metals can be removed.

Chelation therapy is done via IV. Intravenous administration of chelation is the most efficient way to remove heavy metals from the body. The process usually takes three hours, and patients are kept in a comfortable room while the chelation is administered. How much chelation therapy needed is dependent on the level of heavy metals in a patient's body. This can be tested through blood or urine, though urinalysis is usually the most effective way to determine the level of heavy metals in the body. Robert Burkich works very closely with all his patients in every type of treatment. With chelation therapy Robert Burkich examines the sample given to determine the correct treatment. The number and level of chelation therapy can vary, and every patient is different. For this reason, Robert Burkich recommends no precise treatment for everyone, but prefers to make the decision on a case by case basis.
