<unk>  is a medical procedure that involves the administration of<unk> g agents to remove heavy metals from the body.<unk>  has a long history of use in clinical toxicology and remains in use for some very specific medical treatments, although it is administered under very careful medical supervision due to various inherent risks, including the mobilization of mercury and other metals through the brain and other parts of the body by the use of weak<unk> g agents that unbind with metals before elimination, exacerbating existing damage. To avoid mobilization, some practitioners of<unk>  use strong chelators, such as selenium, taken at low doses over a long period of time.<unk>  must be administered with care as it has a number of possible side effects, including death. In response to increasing use of<unk>  as alternative medicine and in circumstances in which the<unk>  should not be used in conventional medicine, various health organizations have confirmed that medical evidence does not support the effectiveness of<unk>  for any purpose other than the treatment of heavy metal poisoning. Over-the-counter<unk>  products are not approved for sale in the United States.
