Chelation isn’t a one-and-done fix — it’s a process, and understanding that matters.
Think of chelation agents like a shovel or a magnet. They can only grab so much at a time. If your toxic burden is small, it clears faster. If it’s large, it takes repeated, strategic sessions to safely remove what’s been stored in the body for years.

Here’s what many people don’t realize:
As the body clears the first wave of heavy metals like lead or mercury, other hidden metals can surface next. That doesn’t mean chelation isn’t working — it means there’s now room for deeper layers to be released.

Chelation literally means “to claw” or “bind.” Whether done orally or intravenously, each session carefully pulls toxins out — like hauling loads away from a toxic dump site. But safety is critical. You can only remove so much at once, and it must be guided by experienced practitioners who understand timing, testing, and the body’s limits.

Detoxification is not rushed.
It’s intentional.
And when done correctly, it can be life-changing.

Detoxification isn’t optional — it’s foundational.
Your body relies on five major detox organs: the intestines, kidneys, liver, lungs, and skin. But what many people don’t realize is this ⤵️
Detox only works when the body is nutrient-sufficient at the cellular level.

Cancer is a metabolic disease. It thrives on mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, sugar, and low oxygen. When cells lack the nutrients they need, detox pathways slow down — making it harder to clear heavy metals, mold, parasites, Lyme, and other toxic burdens.

That’s why healing has to go deeper than “eating clean.”

Supporting cellular energy, restoring oxygen, and reducing inflammation changes the environment cancer depends on to survive. Therapies like ozone, hyperbaric oxygen, and high-dose IV vitamin C help create an oxygen-rich, pro-oxidative environment where cancer becomes vulnerable.

At Progressive Medical Center, we don’t rely on one approach — we use multiple, complementary therapies to support the body the way it was designed to heal.

This is root-cause, whole-body medicine.

Heavy metals don’t act alone — and that’s what makes them so dangerous.
Lead and mercury are everywhere: the air we breathe, the water we drink, the environments we live in. On their own, they’re harmful. Together? Their toxicity can multiply exponentially. Research has shown that when lead and mercury combine, they can become up to 100x more toxic to the body.

This doesn’t just impact the brain—where we may see depression, anxiety, brain fog, or mood changes—it also affects the bones. Lead competes with calcium at the bone level, binding even more tightly than calcium itself. Over time, this contributes to weakened bones and increased osteoporosis risk, especially in women.

The empowering part?
When we identify and safely remove toxic metals, we free up space for essential minerals to do what they’re meant to do—support strong bones, a healthy nervous system, and overall vitality.

If you’re dealing with unexplained symptoms or chronic issues, testing matters. Detoxification matters. And understanding what your body is carrying can change everything.

01/02/2026

When it comes to heavy metals, it’s not just about lead and mercury.
Low levels of arsenic, cadmium, aluminum, and other metals add up over time — creating what we call a cumulative body burden. Even when each metal looks “low” on its own, together they can significantly impact your health.

Many foods pull metals directly from the soil.
🌾 Grains — especially rice — can carry higher arsenic levels
🌱 Plants absorb what’s in their environment, and so do we

That’s why comprehensive testing matters. Looking at all metals together gives a clearer picture of total toxic load — and allows us to create a safer, more effective detox plan.

At Progressive Medical Center, we test before we treat — because when you don’t test, you’re just guessing.

After years of knee pain and being told surgery might be her only option, Kay chose a different path. 💙

Under the care of Dr. Brad Anchors, she tried stem cell injections in both knees—hoping to stay active and enjoy retirement without limits. The result?

🌍 Hiking across Australia and New Zealand
🌏 Exploring South Korea and Japan
🚶‍♀️ Walking 10,000–17,000 steps a day
🦵 No knee replacement. No cane needed.

While no treatment is “perfect,” Kay was able to do everything she wanted to do—and she says she’d choose stem cell therapy again before ever considering surgery.

If joint pain is holding you back and you want to explore regenerative options before surgery, we’re here to help you look at the root cause and your options.

📞 Call our chiropractic & regenerative medicine office at 770-394-0345 to learn more.

A 14-year-old came to us with severe Costochondritis — inflammation so painful that she was already on heavy medications, using a cane, and being told a wheelchair was likely in her future. 💔

Her mom, a pediatrician, refused to believe that more pain meds and decline were the only answers… so she brought her to Progressive Medical Center.

With deeper testing, we uncovered something no teen wants to hear:
👉 a gluten sensitivity — meaning pizza, cookies, cake, party food… all the things that fill a teenager’s world.

But here’s the miracle in the details ⤵️
Once she removed gluten and supported the root cause of inflammation, her pain eased.
Her energy came back.
She no longer needed pain meds.
She could stay awake through the day — and even enjoy parties again.

And instead of walking with a cane…
She now walks like a normal teenager — two hands on her phone, texting away. 📱💙

This is the power of looking deeper.
This is the power of finding the why.
This is the power of root-cause medicine.

At Progressive Medical Center, curiosity isn’t just encouraged — it drives innovation. ✨

Dr. Cheryl Burdette shares why she believes so deeply in the body’s innate wisdom, the power of patient empowerment, and the importance of offering tools that meet people exactly where they are in their healing journey.

Her passion for looking “under the next stone” is what helped spark the creation of Precision Point Diagnostics — a laboratory born from the desire to understand patients more deeply and help them unlock true wellness from the inside out.

This is what integrative medicine looks like:
💡 Innovation
💡 Empowerment
💡 Curiosity
💡 Root-cause answers

We’re honored to have Dr. Burdette shaping the future of functional medicine with us.

Stay tuned — more insights from this powerful discussion are coming.

One year ago, Dr. Pete Sulack walked into the ER thinking he may have had a mini stroke.
Eight hours later, he was told he had a grade 4 astrocytoma — and after a second opinion, was given a 1% chance of being alive in 8 months.

Today, one year later, he says something remarkable:
“I feel better than I’ve ever felt in my whole life.”

This journey didn’t just change his health — it changed his perspective on life, healing, and where true wellness comes from. Through faith, perseverance, and a relentless search for root-cause healing, Dr. Pete turned a devastating diagnosis into a defining chapter.

His story is a powerful reminder:
✨ Prognosis is not destiny
✨ There is always hope
✨ And true healing looks at the whole person

Stay tuned as we continue sharing this incredible journey and the lessons learned along the way.

Chronic symptoms with no clear answers? Mold toxicity, Lyme, and hidden co-infections are far more common than most people realize — and often overlooked in traditional care.

Dr. Gez Agolli breaks down how patients can go years without a diagnosis… until the right testing uncovers the real root cause. Many score high on the Multiple Systemic Infectious Disease Syndrome (MSIDS) checklist — a tool that often reveals underlying co-infections doctors have missed.

🌿 At Progressive Medical Center, ozone therapy, ultraviolet blood irradiation, detoxification support, and parasite cleansing can make a profound difference for those struggling with chronic illness, autoimmunity, or toxic burden.

We live in a world full of environmental stressors — detoxification isn’t optional anymore. It’s essential.

If your symptoms have been dismissed or unexplained, it’s time for a deeper look.

You are not just a bag of genetics waiting for disease to “happen” to you.
Your environment — especially your gut health — plays a major role in whether those genes ever turn on. 🔑

When the gut becomes leaky and zonulin rises, the immune system becomes overstimulated… leading to autoimmunity, chronic inflammation, and a cascade of long-term symptoms.

But here’s the empowering part:
👉 As we lower zonulin and repair the gut lining, symptoms often improve — sometimes dramatically.

Conventional medicine is trained to quiet the immune system when it’s “haywire.”
Short term? It can help.
Long term? It can leave you vulnerable to infections, neurologic decline, and even cancer.

Root-cause healing means asking why the immune system is inflamed in the first place — and restoring balance instead of shutting it down.

Better gut health.
Better immune health.
Better long-term outcomes.

If you’re dealing with chronic inflammation, autoimmunity, or unexplained symptoms, our team is here to guide you back to balance.

Most people know when a food is bothering them — even when traditional allergy tests say everything is “normal.” 🤔
That’s because skin-prick allergy tests only measure one type of reaction.
But many people don’t have true allergies… they have delayed food sensitivities.

✔ Symptoms can show up 3–72 hours after you eat the trigger
✔ You may not have gut symptoms at all
✔ Headaches, fatigue, joint pain, skin issues, brain fog, and inflammation can all trace back to foods your body doesn’t tolerate
✔ A food diary alone usually can’t pinpoint it — the delay makes it almost impossible to connect the dots

These reactions don’t cause immediate shortness of breath like a classic allergy — but they do create ongoing inflammation that can impact almost every system in the body.

This is why functional medicine looks deeper.
Your symptoms are real. Your body is communicating. And the root cause often starts in the gut.
