Re: New - Sjogren's Positive But No Symptoms. Plaquenil works for a variety of autoimmune conditions (RA, SJS, lupus, etc.). A positive ANA test indicates a strong likelihood of autoimmune activity, so it seems like a good first line of defense. Also, plaquenil works on the aches/pains and fatigue of these diseases.
Chelation therapy is a treatment that involves repeated intravenous (IV) administration of a chemical solution of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, or EDTA. It is used to treat acute and chronic lead poisoning by pulling toxins (including heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and mercury) from the bloodstream.vidence that EDTA chelation therapy is effective for heart disease is mixed. Proponents believe it may help people with atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) or peripheral vascular disease (decreased blood flow to the legs) by clearing clogged arteries and improving blood flow.
When zinc is combined with amino acids or other organic acids, the result is a zinc chelate. The chelating agent boosts the amount of zinc absorbed into your system, which is important because zinc helps produce proteins and supports the immune system.inc chelates are made by attaching zinc to two groups of organic substances: amino acids or other organic acids, such as citric acid. The benefit of chelated zinc is that the organic substances help carry zinc through the intestinal wall and into your bloodstream.
