Allopathic doctors have not been
looking for heavy metals in the feces with intravenous EDTA
detoxification. When using DMSA, the oral drug, it is logical to look
for the mercury in the feces because the drug was working through the
gastro-intestinal (G-I) tract. However, very few people were looking at
feces with a drug that works through the blood/kidney/urine route. With
intravenous EDTA, the route is blood, body, kidney, urine and
excretion. Very few allopathic doctors were looking for mercury in the
feces. Remember, the excretory route for mercury is the large
intestines/feces. If
an allopathic doctor has been looking for mercury in their patient's
feces (very few do) and did not find much mercury, they are checking
the wrong bowel movement. Here is a secret; after EDTA treatment the
mercury will not present after the next bowel movement, but will
present after the third bowel movement after treatment. The
logic of most toxicologists gives us the quick answer to the question
of why DMSA was thought to be the best: the excretory route of mercury
is through the G-I tract, so you should use an oral drug. Toxicologists
have forgotten page 36 of the EDTA Textbook that states that EDTA will
chelate mercury BEFORE lead and did not look at the feces for mercury,
(and if they had remembered, they did not check the third bowel
movement).
Many people who take DMSA complain about side
effects. DMSA needs a lot of water not to damage the kidneys. Many
doctors do not want to trust their patients to drink 1.5 liters of
water per day. You can only give DMSA every other day, not more than
three capsules per week for three weeks, and one week off to protect
the liver. Detoxamin is far safer and has fewer side effects. The Benefit of using Detoxamin over Intravenous ChelationBecause
mercury is going to be found in the large intestines first, Detoxamin
will chelate the mercury in the large intestines first. The EDTA that
travels into the blood stream and binds with lead will be excreted
through the kidneys/urine and the EDTA that binds with mercury in the
body will travel back to the rectum where it will bind more securely
with EDTA that has not crossed into the blood. With Detoxamin you do not
have to wait for the third bowel movement because the next days bowel
movement already has a mercury burden. Ninety nine percent of mercury
is excreted through the large intestines. Intravenous EDTA will bind
with mercury but will not be excreted through the kidneys. This is why
toxicologists, who only look at urine values for excreted heavy metals,
have missed the heavy metals being excreted in the feces. For mercury
detoxification, Detoxamin is your answer. Detoxamin is more effective than the old I.V. method, less invasive, less time consuming plus, 70% less than I.V.! Detoxamin Works!

published scientific papers in prestigious journals finally confirms
that low levels of heavy metals---even at levels that were once
considered "safe"---are in fact, very dangerous. The research findings indicate that Ca-EDTA chelation therapy
provides benefits by reducing the body's burden of these toxic heavy
metals, accumulated over time, resulting in improved physiological
functioning, healthier aging and reduced occurrence of malignant
diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and cancers. In
a remarkable Swiss study, mortality from cancer was reduced 90% during
an 18-year follow-up of 59 patients treated with Calcium-EDTA. Only one
of 59 treated patients (1.7%) died of cancer while 30 of 172 non
treated control subjects (17.6%) died of cancer (P=0.002). Death from
artherosclerosis was also reduced.1 Chelation
removes a long list of metals, such as aluminum, arsenic, cadmium,
cobalt, copper, iron, lead, nickel, manganese, mercury, and zinc. In
this article I focus on lead that is high on Ca-EDTA’s affinity chart. Lead Increases Cancer, Vascular Disease, and Overall Mortality Lead
is practically everywhere in today's environment. It enters our bodies
from many sources including defective glazes (pottery), drinking water,
contaminated soil, airborne particulate, leaded gasoline, paint and
several other sources. Lead poisoning has long been recognized as a
health hazard. Unfortunately, we still do not know the long-term
effects of lead exposure. Long-term exposure to low levels of lead may
result in the gradual accumulation of lead and the development of many
disorders and different diseases like learning and behavior problems,
kidney and cardiovascular diseases, decreased fertility, cancer and
hypertension.2 There is NO Safe Level of Lead Drs. Lustberg and Silbergeld recently compared data from the 2000 U.S. census and the huge Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES-III). 3
Lustberg and Silbergeld concluded that an estimated 29 million people
(15% of the adult population over the age of 20) had blood lead levels
(BLL) of at least 20 mcg/dL from 1976-1980, and presently a minimum of
1.7 million people in the US have BLL of at least 20 mcg/dL.
The
authors then examined the death rates of the participants in the NHANE
Survey with low levels of lead-people who had less than 30 mcg per dL
(30 mcg per dL is the level normally considered "toxic" by medical
doctors). They found that BLL's ranging from as little as 20 to 29 mcg
per dL were associated with a 39% increase in mortality from all
causes. These "low" levels of lead were also linked with a 46 percent
increase in mortality from cardiovascular diseases, and a whopping 68
percent increase in mortality due to cancer. Even
lower BLL's that measured from 10 to 19 mcg/dL were associated with a
significant 17 percent increase in mortality from all causes and a 46
percent increase in cancer. Children and Lead Studies
show that lead toxicity is associated with deficits in central nervous
system functioning that can persist into young adulthood.4 Hair lead and cadmium are correlated with both reduced intelligence scores and lowered school achievement scores.5
A recent study of 277 1st-grade children gave some indication of the
profound effects of lead on learning and behavior. There was a highly
significant (p< .0001) relationship between hair lead and children
with a high deficit rating in teacher questionnaires relating to
concentration and task completion.6 One study on lead noted a seven-fold increase in failure to graduate from high school.7
The accepted level for lead-engendered neurotoxicity in children has
declined steadily over the past decade as more sophisticated studies
have demonstrated the harmful effects of much lower levels of lead. Adults and Lead New
evidence suggests that chronic lead exposure in early adulthood can
hasten the process of cognitive decline as a person grows older. Researchers
from Johns Hopkins conducted a battery of cognitive and
neuropsychiatric tests on former lead workers and a group of controls
living in the same area. Initially, cognitive function in the two
groups of men was comparable. As the men aged, however, researchers
found that the group exposed to lead earlier in their lives showed a
much more rapid cognitive decline. "Former
lead workers exhibited greater annual declines in adjusted test scores
than did controls for 17 of 19 cognitive tests," reported lead
investigator Dr. Brian P. Schwartz and his team of researchers. The
study strongly suggests that the neurotoxic effects of lead can unfold
years after initial exposure. On average, sixteen years had elapsed
since the former lead workers had worked in the industry. Since lead is
stored in tissue like bone, it may be released into the body years
later as tissue breaks down during the aging process. In
fact, the researchers found that the greater the amount of lead
initially detected in the tibia (shinbone) of the former lead workers,
the greater and more rapid the cognitive decline the men experienced.
The impact of lead was "comparable to the effect of aging itself," they
said. Lead may be neurotoxic to specific areas of the brain, such as
the hippocampus, associated with learning, memory, and emotion. "The
strength and consistency of this evidence supports a causal
relationship between past occupational lead exposure and prospective
decline in cognitive function," the study concluded.8 Sources
of Lead: Bone meal, ceramic glazes, cigarette ash, eating utensils,
auto exhaust, lead gasoline, hair dyes, insecticides, lead crystal
dishes and glassware, lead refineries, lead smelters, lead water pipes,
liver, mascara, milk, evaporated milk, organ meats, lead based paint,
pesticides, porcelain glazed sinks and bathtubs, produce (near roads),
putty, PVC containers, rainwater, drinking water, well water, snow,
air, tobacco, toothpaste, toys, vinyl mini-blinds, wine, car batteries,
canned fruit juice. Choices in Chelation There
are many reasons to rid the body of toxic metals. But for many people,
there are more reasons to skip chelation therapy than to try it. That's
because most health insurance companies won't pay for chelation
therapy. At more than $3,000.00 for a complete series of treatments,
the cost of intravenous chelation can be prohibitive for many people.
It's also inconvenient. For the full course, you have to visit a
chelation clinic as many as 30 times. Plus, as with any IV, there is
the risk of blood-borne diseases to consider. All of these factors
discourage many people from trying chelation therapy, even when they
clearly could benefit from it. Some
people try oral EDTA chelation tablets in response to these concerns.
Although some doctors use IV and oral therapy together, there are
doubts about the efficacy of oral tablets alone. Research shows that
oral EDTA is largely destroyed during digestion, absorbing only 5 to
10%, greatly diminishing the essential absorption needed for effective
chelation. With
the newly available, patented Ca-EDTA suppository, the main obstacles
to intravenous EDTA chelation therapy have been eliminated. It’s safe,
effective, and cost effective. Merely insert the firm pill into the
rectum, go to sleep, and awake in the morning partially detoxified. A
single box of 30 suppositories of is medically equal to approximately
10 IV treatments. Chelation should be considered by those who want carry less toxins and increase the chances of a healthy life. References Blumer and Cranton.
