Baltimore, MD
Looking for chelation therapy in Baltimore means checking the actual treatment address, not just the city named in an advertisement. Chelation therapy, also listed as IV chelation, EDTA chelation or heavy metal chelation, uses a drug that binds metals in the blood so the body can excrete them. Options extend into Baltimore County, including the Pulaski Highway corridor near Rosedale, and southwest to Columbia in Howard County. These are different trips from downtown: compare access along Pulaski Highway and the Baltimore Beltway with the drive toward Columbia via I-95. Before choosing an office, confirm where consultations, infusions and follow-up blood tests take place, along with parking and appointment hours.
Local offerings include intravenous chelation in functional or integrative medicine offices, often alongside IV nutrient therapy. Chelation for confirmed lead poisoning or iron overload is usually directed by a medical toxicologist or hematologist. Ask whether a prescribing clinician evaluates you before treatment and whether a licensed nurse or physician administers the infusion, with medical supervision and emergency support available. The initial assessment should establish the reason for treatment, review medications and exposure history, and consider appropriate laboratory testing. Follow-up should reassess that reason and monitor for problems, rather than automatically renew an infusion package.
Ask for the exact chelating drug, such as edetate calcium disodium, succimer (DMSA) or deferoxamine, its source and why it fits your diagnosis. Request written information about risks, including kidney injury and disturbances in blood minerals such as low calcium, and an explanation of when treatment would stop if it does not help. Have the quote separate the consultation, medication, administration, testing and follow-up charges. Wellness uses are commonly cash pay, and many advertised uses lack FDA approval or convincing evidence of benefit.

Regulatory context
The FDA has approved a narrow set of chelating agents for specific heavy metal toxicities. Calcium disodium edetate (CaNa2EDTA, Versenate) is approved for symptomatic lead poisoning, succimer (Chemet, DMSA) for pediatric lead poisoning at blood lead levels above 45 mcg/dL, deferoxamine (Desferal) and deferasirox (Exjade) for chronic iron overload, and dimercaprol (BAL) for arsenic, gold, and acute lead poisoning. Use of EDTA chelation for cardiovascular disease was studied in the NIH-funded TACT trial (2013) with controversial findings and remains not FDA-approved for that indication. Chelation for autism spectrum disorder is not evidence-based and has been linked to pediatric deaths. The FDA issued a 2010 sweep of warning letters to compounders marketing OTC chelation products with unapproved disease claims.
The Maryland Board of Physicians has investigated chelation practitioners for marketing claims and informed consent failures. Maryland is home to NIH and FDA headquarters, and the board has been particularly attentive to evidence-based practice expectations. The state's ND scope is restrictive and largely excludes IV chelation. Maryland enforcement reflects national caution following the 2005 Pittsburgh pediatric chelation death.
