Chelation Therapy For Heavy Metals and Biotoxins.

Heavy metal poisoning and biotoxin accumulation is rampant in our society. From the mercury in children's vaccines, mercury in tooth amalgams and the mercury in much of our fist. Then there is the heavy metal pollution due to industrial waste, cookware and cosmetics. There is even a heavy metal burden due to the metals used in medications and medical diagnostic tests.

As if all the heavy metals were not enough there is the ever increasing levels of biotoxins. These come from the enormous toxic burgeon coming from the environment but also from our own biological processes. The problems are exacerbated by the blocking up of the bodies drainage systems, the liver, kidneys and lymphatic system.

The result is that our bodies begin to look like toxic waste dumps. These toxins continue to accumulate in the organs, glands, bones and brain and into the fat tissue. The problem gets even worse when the toxins accumulate into the fat layers of nerves affecting the entire nervous system.

We are faced with new health challenges today that have not really been seen before and certainly not in the numbers that we now see. This is an insidious systemic poisoning of our bodies which studies show can lead to a host of health challenges that are very difficult to diagnose and far to complex for western medicine to treat.

The common patient these days has complex complicated host of symptoms affecting various body systems as well as their mind. There is no simple drug that is going to fix this. No miracle cure or patient. What seems to be necessary is a systemic ongoing approach to rid the body of the accumulated toxins from the past and to quickly rid the body of toxins from our ongoing exposure.

Some me think this is overstating the point. But anybody who has looked at the declining health of the American public, the never ending escalating cost and the epidemic of cancer, heart disease, doctor caused illness, diabetes, autism, arthritis and many more must admit we have a serious problem. And we must admit also that diagnostic testing, surgery and more drugs are not the answer. If they were we would not be 37 on the list of industrial nations as far as overall health. We spend more then anybody and get just about the worst results. Look up and you will see what I mean.

What To Do
While there are many aspects to this health catastrophe facing our country there are certainly many things we can do for ourselves to begin to stack the odds in our favor. Throughout this site I speak to many of these but in this section lets focus on chelation therapy. An effective, proven means to rid the body of heavy metals an toxins. But do not be fooled by all the internet sites offering you overnight miracles. We can get dramatic results but this comes from proper diagnosis, proven therapies, properly administrated over a sufficient period of time.

Proper Therapy

1. Proper Diagnosis - While a shotgun approach can sometimes help, a target approach based on a proper diagnosis tremendously improves your odds of success. Before you take a drug don't you want to know what the actual problem is. You would not just take a bunch of different dugs and hope for the best. So it is here to. What metals are involve, what organs, what is the source of the metals?
   
   
2. Proven Therapeutic Agents - Low quality, inferior, unresear4hed unreached and undocumented therapies are highly suspect and I suggest you avoid these. If you just bought a new Farrari you would treat it with loving care and would certainly not just throw anything into the gas tank without knowing what it was and what it did. Why would you just by some hyped product and put it in your body? Why not treat your body at lest as good as your treat your car.
   
   
3. Proven Therapeutic Protocols - even effective therapies must be administered properly or poor results will likely follow. This is a common complaint we here from patients who have either self treated or worked with a physician that did not understand enough. Many time patients will come to us with shopping bags of products that did not work. Upon investigation we find it was one of these four factors. Poor diagnosis, low quality products, lack or a coordinated therapeutic protocol or insufficient time.
   
   
4. Sufficient Time - you must be willing to sustain the proper therapy to produce the desired outcome. Certain conditions require considerable time to get the full effect.
   

Chelation Therapy
Chelation therapy is a process involving the use of chelating agents to remove heavy metals from the body. For the most common forms of heavy metal intoxication, those involving lead, arsenic or mercury, the standard of care in the US dictates the use of DMSA, EDTA, Chlorella, Pectasol, Cilantro and others.

Different Chelating (pronounced key-lating) agents are used with various effectiveness depending on what metal or toxin is being removed and from what part of the body. Since toxins and heavy metals accumulate in various parts of the body including soft tissue, bones and brain, it is often necessary to use a combination of products over a period of time to do the job.

The most often recommended chelating agents for lead and mercury are DMSA and EDTA along with support products. We offer full professional strength products in both categories.

Primary Chelation Products

• DMSA Synergy - Chelating mercury and other metels
• Kelatox EDTA Suppositories - Useful for chelating lead
• LipoPhos EDTA - Useful for chelating lead
• ionCleanse - ionic detoxification footbath

Support Nutrients
Because chelating the toxin is just part of the program it is highly suggested that your use adjunctive products to support the process. These include basic drainage products, (opening the bodies drains so that the toxins are removed) and support products so that the chelating agents are most effective and pull from all body parts.

When metals are chelated they are put back into the body's circulation and are then cleared through the liver and kidneys. In the liver the poisons are added to the bile and then secreted back into the intestines. If you do not use a binding agent these toxins can be resorbed. To protect against this resorbtion we recommend Pectasol Chelation Complex.

To help support the movement of poisons through the kidneys we recommend the Basic Detox kit.

To help remove the metals from the brain we recommend R-Lipoic Synergy.

• Basic drainage - Pekan Basic Detox Kit
• Removal from the gut - Pectasol Chelation Complex
• Removal from brain - Stabilized R-Lipoic Acid

Replacement Nutrients
Since chelation removes minerals from the body we recommend replacing lost minerals.

• intraMINS - Liquid Multi-mineral
• intraMAX - Liquid Multi-nutrient
• intraKID - Liquid Kids Multi-nutrient

Testing
If you are doing chelation therapy, a process that can take some time, it is a good idea to test your progress by doing a heavy metal test. We find to tests to be most effective. One is a TMA from ARL. It is a general screening test using hair.

The most effective test we offer for heavy metals is to do a provoked Toxic Element Clarence Test. This will pull stored metals out of the body.

• Hair Mineral Analysis Test
• Toxic Element Clearence Test
