Exploring Supportive Therapies: IV Chelation and Cold Laser Therapy for Autism
A truly comprehensive approach to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) requires looking at the body as an interconnected system. While primary treatments like stem cell therapy and behavioral intervention build a new foundation, supportive therapies are essential for clearing the path and powering the change.
At IRM, our integrated protocol includes two such therapies: IV Chelation and Cold Laser Therapy. These treatments are designed to address two common underlying issues in ASD: a high toxic burden and cellular-level energy deficits. Here’s a look at how each one works.

Part 1: IV Chelation for Autism Detoxification (3 Sessions)
The first step in any healing process is to “clean the house.” We are all exposed to environmental toxins, but research suggests that many individuals with autism often due to compromised gut health and genetic factors have more difficulty eliminating them.
This can lead to an accumulation of heavy metals (such as lead, mercury, or aluminum), which are neurotoxic. They can act like “static” in the nervous system, contributing to inflammation, brain fog, and behavioral issues.
What is IV Chelation?
IV chelation autism therapy is a specialized medical procedure designed to support autism detoxification.
The Application:
A “chelating agent” (such as EDTA) is administered slowly via an intravenous (IV) drip. This agent acts like a molecular “magnet” or “claw.”
The Benefit:
As it circulates through the bloodstream, it binds tightly to heavy metal ions. Once bound, these toxins are “locked” and can no longer interact with the body’s cells. The entire complex (chelating agent + metal) is then safely filtered by the kidneys and excreted in the urine.
The three IV chelation sessions in our protocol are intended as a gentle, supportive intervention. By helping reduce the body’s overall toxic burden, we aim to quiet neurological static, reduce inflammation, and create a “cleaner” internal environment for the comprehensive stem cell treatment program for Autism Spectrum Disorder and other therapies to do their best work. Chelation also supports safer outcomes by minimizing toxic interference during stem cell treatment in children.
Part 2: Cold Laser Therapy for Cellular Energy (10 Sessions)
While chelation cleans the system, cold laser therapy is designed to “turn the power on.” A growing body of research connects ASD with mitochondrial dysfunction. Mitochondria are the tiny “power plants” inside every cell, especially our energy-hungry brain cells. They produce a molecule called ATP, which is the body’s primary source of cellular energy.
Similar to NAD+ IV Therapy, cold laser therapy supports mitochondrial health and helps boost cellular energy for cognitive function.
In many individuals with autism, these mitochondria are underperforming. Their brain cells are effectively running on a “low battery,” making it difficult to process information, form new connections, or maintain focus.
What is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold laser therapy for autism (also known as Low-Level Laser Therapy or LLLT) is a non-invasive, painless, and safe technology.
The Application:
A device is used to apply specific wavelengths of low-level red and near-infrared light to the patient’s head (transcranial photobiomodulation), often over the gut.
The Benefit:
This light energy is absorbed directly by the mitochondria. This absorption “supercharges” the mitochondrial energy production, leading to:
The 10 sessions of cold laser therapy are designed to work cumulatively. By systematically “recharging” the brain’s cellular batteries, we can help improve cognitive function, reduce brain fog, and make the brain more energized and receptive to the new skills being taught in speech and behavioral therapy integrated with stem cell treatment.
The Synergistic Strategy
IV Chelation cleans the neurological environment.
Cold Laser Therapy energizes the cells within it.
By addressing both the toxic burden and the energy deficit, we are optimizing the body from every angle. This creates the ideal physiological state for our primary regenerative and behavioral therapies to succeed, giving each child the best possible foundation for progress.
After completing supportive therapies, families often explore booster stem cell sessions to sustain and build upon the progress achieved through initial treatments.
Our multidisciplinary approach is guided by experts like Dr. Salman Gilani, Lead Aesthetic Physician, known for his expertise in advanced injectables, non-surgical rejuvenation, and holistic anti-aging protocols, and Dr. Sidra Bokhari, who leads the integration of regenerative medicine with behavioral and nutritional therapy. Together, they ensure every treatment plan at IRM is personalized, safe, and aligned with our holistic vision of healing and renewal.
