Houston's Premier IV Chelation Therapy & Heavy Metal Detox
Chelation therapy uses specialized prescription medications that bind to toxic heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and arsenic, so your body can safely flush them out through urine. At Revived Personalized Wellness, our IV chelation therapy in Houston is strictly lab-guided and directed by licensed medical providers. We ensure your heavy metal detox is based on precise clinical numbers, not guesswork.
- Test: Run the Total Tox Burden urine test (or send us labs you already have).
- Review: Our provider reviews your heavy metal results with you
- Treat: If chelation fits, we build an IV plan and re-test to track your detox progress.

What Is Chelation Therapy ?
The word comes from the Greek chele, meaning “claw.” A chelating agent acts as a claw, attaching to heavy metal ions in the bloodstream and holding them in a stable compound that the kidneys can filter out. Metals that would otherwise settle in bone, nerve tissue, and organs safely leave the body in your urine.
Heavy metal chelation is the standard medical treatment for heavy metal poisoning, approved by the FDA. All chelating agents are prescription drugs. Because they can also pull out essential minerals your body needs, this detox therapy should only be administered after thorough testing and under medical supervision.
Our standard: We offer chelation only when testing shows an elevated heavy metal burden. We do not offer it as a treatment for heart disease, autism, or Alzheimer’s, which are uses the FDA has not approved.
Chelating agents our provider may use
he agent is chosen based on which specific metals show up on your labs.
EDTA
Given by IV. Most often used for lead, and also binds cadmium and other metals.
DMPS
Given by IV. Commonly used for mercury and arsenic.
Support
Minerals, vitamin C and glutathione may be added between sessions to replace nutrients and support detox pathways.
Requirements for Chelation Therapy in Houston
Chelation is a prescription medical treatment, so a few things need to be in place before your first heavy metal detox IV:
Recent heavy metal test
A urine heavy metal panel showing elevated levels. Order ours or email your results to Labs@myrevived.com.
Kidney function check
Your kidneys clear the bound metals, so we confirm they're working well before starting your therapy.
Provider review
A licensed provider reviews your history, medications, and labs, then approves your custom plan.
Hydration and a meal
Drink water and eat beforehand. Detox sessions go more smoothly when you're well-hydrated.

Who is Chelation Therapy for?
Heavy metal symptoms are easy to miss because they overlap with many other conditions. If several of these sound familiar, and especially if you have a known exposure, a heavy metal toxicity test is a sensible next step:
- Ongoing fatigue that rest doesn't fix
- Brain fog, poor memory, or trouble focusing
- Numbness or tingling in hands and feet
- Frequent headaches
- Joint or muscle aches
- Digestive issues, nausea, or abdominal pain
- Irritability, anxiety, or low mood
- Metallic taste in the mouth
- Anemia or abnormal kidney labs
Common sources of exposure
- Older homes with lead paint or pipes
- Private well water
- Frequent tuna, swordfish, or other large fish
- Rice and rice-based products
- Some imported spices, cosmetics, and supplements
- Welding, battery, construction, or range work
- Old amalgam dental fillings
- Living near industrial or mining sites
Who Qualifies for Chelation Therapy?
- ✔️ You may be a good candidate for our Houston chelation therapy if your heavy metal test shows levels above the reference range especially lead, mercury, arsenic, or cadmium, and our medical provider confirms the treatment is safe for you. Symptoms alone are not enough to start IV chelation. If you have symptoms but no labs, the first step is testing.
Chelation may not be right if you:
- ❌ Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- ❌ Have significant kidney disease
- ❌ Have normal heavy metal lab results
- ❌ Have low calcium or certain heart rhythm issues
Benefits of Chelation Therapy
For people with a confirmed elevated heavy metal burden, targeted chelation can dramatically lower that toxic load and reduce the strain it puts on your body. Results vary by person and by metal, and we track your detox progress with follow-up testing.
Removes toxic metals
Binds lead, mercury, arsenic, and other heavy metals so they can be safely excreted instead of stored in your tissues.
Protects your organs
Lowering metal levels reduces ongoing toxic stress on the kidneys, liver, nervous system, and blood.
May ease toxicity symptoms
Patients with confirmed toxicity often notice improvement in fatigue, brain fog, headaches, or tingling as metal levels come down.
Measurable progress
Re-testing shows exactly whether your levels are dropping, ensuring your detox plan is guided by clinical data.
Part of a full detox plan
We pair chelation with IV mineral replacement, hydration, and medical advice on cutting off the source of your exposure.
Safety and Side Effects
When it is given for the right reason and monitored, chelation is generally well tolerated. Possible side effects include:
- Burning at the IV site
- Headache
- Nausea
- Fatigue
- Low blood pressure
- Mineral loss (calcium, zinc, magnesium)
Serious problems such as dangerously low calcium or kidney strain are rare but real, which is why we screen kidney function, check minerals, and replace nutrients during your plan. Chelation is not recommended during pregnancy or for people with significant kidney disease.
Start With the Total Tox Burden Test
Effective chelation starts with knowing exactly what is in your body. We order the full Total Tox Burden urine panel, a comprehensive 90-marker test that measures:
Heavy metal results tell us whether IV chelation is right for you and which specific agent (like EDTA or DMPS) to use. While mold and chemical toxins aren’t treated with chelation, they help our provider build a complete, personalized detox plan for you.
Already have lab work? Email your recent heavy metal or toxin results to Labs@myrevived.com and our team will review them to let you know if chelation is a fit.
No labs yet, but have symptoms? Order the Total Tox Burden test and we’ll send a urine collection kit directly to your home. Collect your sample, ship it back, and we’ll go over your results with you in detail.
FAQ About Chelation Therapy in Houston
Do I need a blood test before getting chelation therapy in Houston?
Yes. To ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment, we require a comprehensive urine heavy metal panel (like the Total Tox Burden test) and a kidney function check before administering any chelating agents.
How much does chelation therapy cost in Houston?
A single IV session is $350. Packages are 5 sessions for $1,575, 10 sessions for $2,975 and 20 sessions for $5,800. There is no initiation fee and no fee to become a patient. Lab testing is billed separately.
How many chelation sessions will I need?
It depends on which metals are elevated, how high the levels are and how you respond. Many plans run 5 to 20 sessions, with re-testing to decide when you’re done.
Is chelation therapy FDA approved?
Chelating medications are FDA approved for treating heavy metal poisoning, which is the only reason we use them. They are not approved for heart disease, autism or Alzheimer’s, and we don’t offer chelation for those conditions.
Is chelation therapy safe?
When given for confirmed toxicity with proper monitoring, it is generally well tolerated. Side effects can include IV-site burning, headache, nausea and mineral loss. We check kidney function and minerals and replace nutrients during treatment.
Does insurance cover chelation therapy?
We are a direct-pay clinic and do not bill insurance, but you can use your HSA or FSA card, and CareCredit financing is available.
How long does a heavy metal detox IV take?
A typical IV chelation session at our Houston clinic takes between 1 to 3 hours. The exact duration depends on the specific chelating agent used (such as EDTA or DMPS) and your personalized treatment protocol.
Can chelation remove mold toxins or chemicals like glyphosate?
No. Chelation binds metals. Mycotoxins and chemicals found on the Total Tox Burden panel are addressed with other strategies, which our provider can include in your plan.
What is the difference between EDTA and DMPS chelation?
EDTA is primarily used to bind and remove lead, cadmium, and aluminum from the bloodstream. DMPS is generally more effective for addressing mercury and arsenic toxicity. We choose the specific agent based entirely on your Total Tox Burden test results.
