Detoxamin Defined

Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling had this to say about Chelation:

"Chelation therapy is far safer and much less expensive than surgical treatment of atherosclerosis. Chelation therapy might eliminate the need for bypass surgery and is equally valid when used as a preventative treatment".

Safer

Detoxamin administers less dosage, more frequently. The dosage contained in Detoxamin is 750mg EDTA per suppository, compared to the 2 to 3 grams of EDTA that is normally administered in one I.V. treatment. The EDTA in Detoxamin metabolizes much slower compared to the IV method, therefore not putting the same burden on the liver and kidney. This means the EDTA in Detoxamin is in the body about twice as long and has more time to chelate toxic metals. The smaller dosage and the slower metabolism are two reasons why the normal array of side effects associated with IV chelation are not present with Detoxamin.

EDTA's Mechanism of Action

EDTA (Ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid), the active ingredient in Detoxamin is a synthetic amino acid that has the ability to attach itself to metals and minerals, forming a particular kind of bond called a chelate. Heavier metals have a greater affinity for the EDTA and form stronger bonds.

Early in its history, in the 40's and 50's, EDTA was found to be an effective treatment for lead toxicity and was approved by the FDA as a safe drug for that purpose. In many cases, patients who coincidentally had symptoms of heart disease, such as angina, improved while undergoing the lead toxicity treatment. Since that time, a number of studies have confirmed the effectiveness of chelation therapy for blood vessel disease, including improved blood flow to the heart, the legs and the brain. Experienced physicians and medical researchers have published them in reputable journals.

The exact action of EDTA in improving blood vessel disease is not clear, and it probably works by several mechanisms. One theory of aging and degenerative disease is the Free Radical theory. Free radicals are highly active molecular fragments formed during the production of energy in the cells. They have high energy, like sparks in a fireplace, and the body, when properly handled can use this energy. However, if these free radicals get out of control they can cause damage to surrounding tissues, just as sparks that get out of the fireplace can cause the rug to catch fire. Excess free radicals contribute to the obvious signs of aging such as wrinkling and loss of elasticity of the skin, and the deposition of age pigment (commonly called liver spots). Internal damage is less visible but even more serious. In addition to the formation of free radicals in the body, you are exposed to them in the environment. They are found in cigarette smoke in high amounts, and also in polluted air. They are caused by radiation and rancid oils, by hydrogenated oil such as those found in margarine and shortening, and by many therapeutic drugs. Heavy (toxic) metals cause an increased production of free radicals.

One of the most interesting properties of Detoxamin is the removal of lead, mercury, cadmium, nickel, aluminium, arsenic, iron and other metals that have accumulated in the body. Excess accumulation of iron (usually from consumption of meat products) leads to the production of free radicals. Heavy metals are directly toxic. For example, there is no body function that requires mercury and the removal of iron and heavy metals with chelation is known to help prevent and reverse the tissue damage of vascular disease. Free radicals, with their high energy levels, are thought to contribute to the development of heart disease, cancer, arthritis, and certain immune system disorders.

A recent study in Zurich, Switzerland showed a markedly lower incidence of cancer among patients who had received chelation therapy. This makes a strong case for chelation inhibiting free radicals. For protection from free radicals, your body has a number of defenses. You produce enzymes that are free radical scavengers, as are many nutrients. These include vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, bioflavonoids, coenzyme Q10, sulfur amino acids, and many others. These protect you from aging and degeneration. A comprehensive approach to treatment is more effective than any one treatment alone. This includes diet, exercise and stress management, as well as dietary supplements.

Mercury Removal, a Plus

For years doctors have thought that EDTA did not chelated Mercury, they were wrong. The doctors have been looking in the wrong place for mercury excretion. Ninety nine percent of the body's Mercury burden is excreted through the feces, not the urine. Plus, Detoxamin utilizes the site of removal as the EDTA delivery route. This is making Detoxamin the best chelator for mercury.

Description

Detoxamin is a rectal time-release suppository that has the means to gently bind and remove or decrease toxic heavy metal contamination in the body. Detoxamin’s active ingredient is Calcium Disodium E.D.T.A., (CaNa2EDTA), a chelating agent that is a synthetic amino acid.  Detoxamin is available in 750 mg suppositories of CaNa2EDTA in a 2-hour time-release form. Detoxamin EDTA Suppositories are solid, bullet-shaped preparations designed for easy insertion into the anus (back passage).  Detoxamin is manufactured in a cocoa-butter base with methocel E4M premium USP for a time release effect.  Detoxamin dissolves at body temperature and gradually spreads over the lining of the lower bowel (rectum), where it is absorbed into the bloodstream within approximately eighty minutes.
