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.
What is Chelation? Chelation is the suspension of a mineral between two or more amino acids, or bonding to small proteins, peptides or amino acids. (Chela is Greek for claw .) Chelation substances can include things like amino acids, ascorbic acid and orotates, as well as hydrolyzed protein.hat is all the fuss about chelated, colloidal and ionic trace minerals versus regular minerals? Inorganic (or metallic) minerals may only be absorbed up to 5% of their potential, whereas, minerals that are chelated typically improve absorption rates up to 45% of the mineral.
