Re: mercury and cadmium in the body

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know a good routine to get mercury and cadmium out of the body? Aside from intraveinous chelations. Any herbal or other cleanses that anyone has had success with?

Thanks,

Jeff

Aphanizominon flos aquae to the rescue!

" Methionine was probably

one of the first amino acids available in Earth’s ancient primordial

seas billions of years ago. This amino acid was (and is still) used by

primitive bacteria and blue-green algae to biosynthesize glutathione,

possibly Earth’s first antioxidant (protection) tripeptide

molecule. Methionine in this form has been shown to

help humans detoxify lead and copper contamination in the blood. " 224

Blue-green algae is one of the richest food sources

of detoxifying polypetides, including methionine and glutathione, along with B-vitamin

precursors. Once ingested, these molecules are modified as needed. Such

polypeptides are essential in the protection of DNA, the family jewels, and

are essential in the chemistry of detoxification. 226 Also glutathione,

along with ascorbate, may help to protect against

polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) oxidation. 227

When microalgal supplementation was given to rats

consuming a high fructose (60%) diet, a preventive effect on the liver

triglyceride level was observed, along with lowered plasma cholesterol. The

researchers reported that the microalgae helped

reduce liver fats that were elevated by the excessively fructose-rich diet. 233

Chlorophyll, which microalgae contains

in abundance, can help to stimulate liver function, increase bile secretion,

and protect cellular functions. 234 Also, " chlorophyll appears to promote regeneration of

damaged liver cells. " 235

Medical researchers have demonstrated that green microalgae

increase the detoxification of harmful chemicals like chlordecone,

dioxin, and PCBs. 241 In a study of chlordecone poisoned rats, ingested algae decreased the half-life of the

chemical toxins from 40 to 19 days. 242

Several grams of Aph. flos-aquae blue-green algae eliminated excessive

aluminum from children in a three-month study. Also, parents reported

significant decreases in negative health symptoms, suggestive of improved

detoxification pathways. 243 Aluminum exposure in humans is

unavoidable. Some aluminum absorption occurs with the ingestion of food and

medicines. Greater amounts of aluminum are present in antacids. 244 Blue-green algae may

be helpful for dialysis patients, who have a greater risk for aluminum

accumulation and an increased risk of neurotoxicity.

Blue-green algae have been shown to reduce lead toxicity, as well. 245 The beneficial effects

of blue-green algae may be due to the presence of the abundance of

antioxidants, including beta-carotene and SOD enzymes. Numerous studies have

demonstrated a strong relationship between childhood learning disabilities

and body stores of heavy metals, particularly lead. 246, 247

Blue-green algae have multiple liver-protective factors, including amino

acids (e.g., methionine, arginine,

and isoleucine), chelating trace minerals, and

potent antioxi-dants, such as phycocyanins

and superoxide dismutase

(SOD).
