Re: Re: Does EDTA chelate mycotoxin?

[Guest guest]

Jeff, I was wondering then what does chelate the mycotoxins out? The info I've

seen says that it can (EDTA) My environ doc says it can too but maybe they are

wrong. Please let me know some alternatives. NDF was recommended as well as

activated charcoal. I've taken PC3x which is a cellular detox. My urine was a

brownish color in the morning after using it. Do you know about that or could

you check it out.

Jay,

The simple answer to your question is not at all.

There are dozens of known mycotoxins, all very much larger than single,

charged metal atoms (ions), and few are charged; in other words, they are

neutral.

The molecular structure of EDTA is highly specific and it ONLY chelates

charged metal atoms (metal ions). The molecule is quite small compared to a

mycotoxin molecule, and grabs ions in a claw-like cage.

And that's it.

All mycotoxins are MUCH larger than water molecules and mycotoxins cannot

penetrate anything the way water molecules can.

Hi Loni,

My original question was whether EDTA removes mycotoxin as well as heavy

metals. So, which chelators is your environmental doc thinks that chelate

mycotoxins ?

Thanks

Jeff, Does IV Hydrogen Peroxide therapy neutralize chemicals (mycotoxins) in the

body? I was doing that through an NMD that said it did. Would that be worth

continuing? Loni

Loni,

I can't answer the technicalities better than Jeff - not even close! -

but would like to suggest we have a terminology and semantics issue

here. Chelation is a very specific way of removing specific

substances (e.g. metals) from the body. But we tend, over time, to

call all removal methods " chelation " or " detox " or something. Just

because chelation doesn't remove (impossible to remove) mycotoxins

doesn't mean they can't be removed by other means and it doesn't mean

chelation doesn't work - for what it can remove.

It's no different than the debates about allergies. Allergy has

become a generic term for even chemical reactions and many mold

reactions. But if it doesn't meet the technical definition of an IgE

mediated mast response it isn't an allergy. That is not the same as

saying it didn't or couldn't make you sick.
