Medical detoxification at St. George Hospital uses structured, evidence-based protocols to reduce the body’s toxic burden, support organ function, and create better conditions for healing and treatment response.
Detoxification therapies are designed to support the body’s natural elimination pathways and reduce the accumulation of harmful substances. Environmental toxins, heavy metals, metabolic waste products, and pathogen-related toxins can impair immune function, damage mitochondria, and sustain chronic inflammation. Medical detoxification addresses these burdens systematically.
Our detoxification protocols may include IV chelation therapy for heavy metal removal, liver support infusions, colon hydrotherapy, lymphatic drainage, far-infrared sauna therapy, specific nutritional supplementation, and oral binding agents. The specific combination is determined by the patient’s toxicological assessment results and clinical needs.
Our physicians will recommend specific treatments only after a thorough assessment.
Detoxification sessions vary by modality. IV chelation therapy typically takes 1-2 hours. Colon hydrotherapy sessions are approximately 45 minutes. Far-infrared sauna sessions last 20-30 minutes. A detoxification program usually combines multiple modalities over the course of a treatment stay.
Chelation therapy for heavy metal toxicity is well-established in medical literature. IV glutathione and other hepatoprotective agents have documented mechanisms and published clinical data. While some detoxification modalities have less formal trial data, they are used at St. George Hospital based on decades of clinical observation and their established safety profiles.
