Chelation therapy is the administration of chelating agents, such as a drug or supplements, through intravenous or oral means to remove heavy metals from the body. The use of chelation has been proven to be the most effective method of removing mercury stores from the body, according to Hal Brown, DC, ND, RAc of Integrative Healing Arts in Vancouver. Many supplementary treatments are also used in conjunction with the chelation treatments.

Some researchers say a more natural and safer, though slower, way to detoxify mercury from the body is by supplementing with the amino acid glutathione, which is believed to play a detoxification role.
