It is important for patients to take certain precautions before
detoxifying heavy metals using any type of chelating agents.
If any of the synthetic chelating agents such as DMPS, DMSA,
EDTA are to be used just prior to detoxifying, either IV or orally,
it is crucial that the following precautions be taken:
1. Take
HMD™ during the use of these synthetic chelators -
adults can take the normal dose of 50 three times a day. Children can reduce this
dosage according to weight - see
Weight Table.
2. As the detoxification of metals is an oxidative process in
all its phases, many free radicals are produced that should be
neutralized using free-radical scavengers, as well as supplying
electrons to oxidized heavy metals to aid in their removal. These
would include:
-
VITAMIN C:
buffered with Bioflavinoids: Do not use simultaneously with
antibiotic, antiviral or cilantro. Start with 1 gram three
times daily and sloly work up to 3 grams x 3 times daily. Best
taken as a buffered powder such as BalanCe.
-
ANTIOXIDANT:
- good-quality, containing vitamins A, E (as a mixture of
tocopherols), N-Acetyl Cysteine, as well as antioxidant
phytonutrients such as Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis)
extract, Turmeric (Curcuma longa) extract, Green Tea (Camellia
sinensis) extract, Grape Seed (Vitis vinifera) extract,
Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) extract and Lutein. Extension
Antioxidants contains all these in one formula.
Other supplements that can be taken to help
protect the body's organs and tissues, as well as preventing the
reabsorption of heavy metals are as follows:
-
GARLIC:
Protects blood, an immuno stimulant, supplies sulphur, is an
anti-fungal, a parasitic and a microbial agent. The simplest way to
take garlic is freshly sliced in salads or with meals. Other
choices could include AlliTrue,
a patented formula that delivers high-dose allicin directly to
the cells. Garlic has a tendency of inactivating
Cilantro, so it is best to take this at least 2-3 hours AWAY
from the HMD™ which does contain Cilantro.
-
CILANTRIN using 1 cup fresh Coriander leaves,
a few walnuts, 1 clove garlic, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
and 6 tablespoons olive oil in a blender. Take a
tablespoon of this a couple of times daily with your meals.
-
MINERALS:
it is important to provide adequate minerals to prevent heavy
metal binding by antagonistic minerals. A good general
multimineral formula that contains therapeutic doses of
Vitamin K (phytonadione), Folic Acid, Calcium, Iodine (Potassium
Iodide), Magnesium, Zinc (Monomethionine), Selenium (from
Selenomethionine), Copper (Sebacate), Manganese (Amino Acid
Chelate), Chromium (Polinicotinate), Molybdenum (Amino Acid
Chelate), Potassium (from Potassium Succinate), Boron (Amino
Acid Chelate), Silicon (Silicon Dioxide) and Vanadium (Vanadyl
Sulfate). This formula is called Advanced
Essential Minerals.
-
CHLORELLA:
Additional Chlorella is useful for mobilizing mercury and
other heavy metals from the extracellular spaces,
the gut, as well as helping to bind toxic chemicals and
neurotoxins. A good mobilizing and therapeutic dose would be
3,000 mg daily taken in three separate doses of 1,000 mg each.
-
ORGAN DRAINAGE: It
is crucially important to make absolutely certain that all the
detoxification organs of the body such as the liver, kidneys,
skin, lymphatics and gut are all optimized otherwise mercury
and other metals will be easily mobilized and redeposited into
other tissues and organs. We discussed this in the
section entitled Practical
Points for Practitioners.
