Chelation Therapy (Extended)

A 120-minute extended EDTA chelation infusion combining chelation with supplemental vitamins and minerals. The longer protocol allows higher total chelation dosing with concurrent micronutrient replenishment in a single session.

The extended chelation protocol at Burnout-Praxis Berlin builds on the standard EDTA infusion with a longer duration (120 minutes versus 90) and the addition of intravenous vitamins and minerals to the infusion bag. This combination protocol addresses one of the practical limitations of standard chelation: the non-selective nature of EDTA means it binds essential minerals alongside toxic metals, requiring supplementation to prevent depletion of calcium, magnesium, zinc, and other micronutrients. By incorporating these minerals and vitamins directly into the infusion — rather than relying on oral supplementation between sessions — the extended protocol maintains mineral homeostasis in real time during the chelation process. This is particularly important for patients undergoing intensive chelation courses (multiple sessions per week) or those with pre-existing mineral deficiencies that could be exacerbated by aggressive chelation. The extended session also allows for a higher total EDTA dose delivered at a safe infusion rate. Since EDTA's chelation capacity is dose-dependent, the longer infusion can achieve greater metal mobilisation per session, potentially reducing the total number of sessions needed to reach target metal reduction levels. The additional vitamins (commonly vitamin C, B-complex, and glutathione precursors) also support the liver and kidney detoxification pathways that process the mobilised metals. At €299 per session, the extended protocol is positioned as the comprehensive option for patients with significant metal burden who want to maximise the efficiency of each clinic visit. It is also preferred by patients travelling from outside Berlin who want to accomplish more per appointment. The 120-minute session fits comfortably within a morning or afternoon clinic slot.
