Heavy Metals Protocol

   

"Up to 25% of the US population is conservatively estimated to suffer from heavy metal poisoning." Doctor Anthony Cichoke

“Glutathione has been shown to play a major role in the detoxification of heavy metals.” Wright et al

“There is minimum concentration of MSM that must be maintained to preserve normal body function and structure. In addition to its detoxifying potential MSM has uses for allergy, hyperactivity, cancer prevention, and inflammation” Prater, 1999

“Garlic can protect us from heavy metals and other toxic substances.”  Cha, 1987

“Silibinin from milk thistle aids heavy metal detoxification by its ability to aid liver function and regeneration.” Wellington et al, 2001

“The importance of silibinin for heavy metal detoxification is in its ability to aid liver function and regeneration.” Pietrangelo et al  

"Lead has been linked to antisocial behavior, partly because it contributes to nutrient depletion. Aluminum has also been linked to antisocial behavior, as it competes for the binding sites of biochemical receptors of other metal ions, such as iron and zinc." NutraIngredients.com March 25, 2009

"Studies have shown that fluoridated water supplies can increase children's absorption of lead, and, when lead is introduced into your body in sufficient quantities it displaces zinc, which also disrupts brain cell growth. Therefore, installing a high quality water filter in your home is always a prudent idea, especially if you have children. Low vitamin D and C intake can also adversely affect lead levels, causing more lead to accumulate. " Doctor Joseph Mercola MD

“Cadmium is the latest metal of concern. Doctor Aimin Chen at the University of Cincinnati has concluded that cadmium exposure can lower IQ even more significantly than does lead. Recent lab testing by the Associated Press found that cadmium could be present in children’s jewelry at levels exceeding 90 percent of the item’s total weight. What do children do with jewelry? As any parent can tell you: They put it in their mouths! According to Harvard professor Dr. Robert O. Wright, “Just small amounts of chemicals may radically alter development.” Wright’s work has demonstrated that as exposure to cadmium grows, children are more likely to manifest learning disabilities.”

"Remember all heavy metals drag down the immunity."   Doctor Gary Gordon MD

"Activated charcoal is the single best supplement for enhancing detoxification. You can take charcoal to wipe out decades of toxic heavy metals that may have been building up in your body. Harmful metals like arsenic, copper, mercury, and lead. And it could one day save your life. An activated charcoal detox leaves you feeling like a new person – pumped up, recharged, and bursting with energy. As if you were suddenly 20 years younger. It’s best to use a powder form, mixed into a liquid. Tablets or capsules take too long to absorb and release the activated charcoal. And the dose is usually too small to do the job. Take 20-30 grams a day of powdered activated charcoal (in divided doses) mixed with water over a period of 1-2 weeks.”   Doctor Al Sears MD

    

Heavy Metals     

The term "heavy metals" has been used inconsistently. Perhaps “Toxic Metals” is a better term. These include metals not normally incorporated into your body such as arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, cobalt, mercury, nickel, lead, antimony, uranium, and thorium. These metals are harmful and do not belong in your body. You can help remove them by keeping a good supply of chelating agents in your body.

  

Toxic Metals

“Studies have shown that hydrofluorosilicic acid increases lead accumulation in bone, teeth, and other calcium-rich tissues. This is because the free fluoride ion acts as a transport of heavy metals, allowing them to enter into areas of your body they normally would not be able to go, such as into your brain”    Doctor Joseph Mercola MD

    

Toxic metals cause blood clots and can lower the levels of oxygen in your heart and other tissues. The hearts of heart attack victims usually show very elevated levels of mercury, the metal used in silver fillings.  Elevated levels of cadmium are often found in patients with high blood pressure. Chelation can remove mercury and cadmium, as well as other toxic metals. Toxic metals also encourage virus growth and are often found in close proximity to cancer growths.

    

Negative aspects of Toxic Metals

• Strongly Oxidative and free radical creating

• Inhibit Antioxidants

• Deplete Glutathione

• Disrupt metabolism

• Encourage virus and cancer

   

Doctor Gary Null’s Environmental Toxins Protocol

• Cleanse lungs:  Chlorophyll in dark green veggies

• Detoxifying fruit

• Watermelon

• Cranberry

• Cherry

• Red Raspberry

• Lemon

• Lime

• Orange

• Grapefruit

• Aloe Vera

I employ most of these almost daily. IMO always try to eat the COMPLETE fruit including as much as the seeds/skin/rind as you are able.

 

Activated Charcoal

"Activated charcoal is the single best supplement for enhancing detoxification. You can take charcoal to wipe out decades of toxic heavy metals that may have been building up in your body. Harmful metals like arsenic, copper, mercury, and lead. And it could one day save your life. An activated charcoal detox leaves you feeling like a new person – pumped up, recharged, and bursting with energy. As if you were suddenly 20 years younger. It’s best to use a powder form, mixed into a liquid. Tablets or capsules take too long to absorb and release the activated charcoal. And the dose is usually too small to do the job. Take 20-30 grams a day of powdered activated charcoal (in divided doses) mixed with water over a period of 1-2 weeks.”   Doctor Al Sears MD

Many medical professionals consider activated charcoal one of the very best agents for general body detoxification. IMO activated charcoal cannot but help you detoxify heavy metals from your body.
