Guest guest Posted November 16, 2000 Report Share Posted November 16, 2000 Have you ever heard of Cilantro for chelation? I haven't tried it yet, but plan to soon. Meanwhile, I quit anything with Aspartame. mkh Heavy Metals > > > I was wondering if anybody has any info on the relationship of Fibro and > heavy metals? Has anybody undergone chelation?

Some I have read are: 40 Something Forever The Chelation Way Bypassing Bypass I read those about 6-7 years ago before I had chelation treatments done, and I am sure there are new ones out. In each book it will tell you how to locate a chelation doctor. Another way to locate one is to go to the ACAM website(www.ACAM.com). Chelation is not a fibro cure, but a way to a healthier body. You will be amazed at the many conditions chelation has helped. Good luck, Jacque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 17, 2000 Report Share Posted November 17, 2000 I have one of those books and it is great.

Has anybody undergone chelation? >> Heavy metals certainly can be a source of the *total accumulated load* of toxins and microbes. Some people in our support group have undergone chelation therapy with good results. The heavy metals were diagnosed through blood and/or hair testing. One lab that can test for heavy metals is www.greatplainslaboratory.com. I'm sure there are others as well. Please see my letter to Nettie in Chicago -- Digest Number 356 on this list. If you don't receive that letter, please let me know and I will send more info.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 Dear Bill, I saw a post of Dr. Mercola's site at www.mercola.com about excess iron that was taken from a medical journal. Just do a search on his site for iron. Dr. Mercola's article stated that excess iron can lead to dementia. My mother in law had loads of iron in her water and we did not know how dangerous it was to someone's brain. She lives with us now because her memory is bad. She also has clogged up carotid arteries leading to her brain. Both the iron in the brain and the clogged arteries, that cut down on brain circulation, could lead to loss of memory. My chelation doctor uses EDTA chelation (done through IV's)to remove excess iron from people's bodies. The doctors often recommend the donation of blood. If blood donation does not pull down the iron level, then EDTA chelation does work. EDTA chelation will also unclog the carotid arteries. Water is needed to FLUSH out the toxins after a chelator like EDTA or DMSA is used to PULL out the heavy metal toxin. Water does not pull it out of the body because water is not a heavy metal chelator. Chelators are like claws that grab hold of the toxin and bind with it because of the molecular structure of the heavy metal and PULL it out. Heavy metals have +2 or +3 in the outer ring (electron) of the atom. Because 2 or 3 electrons do not completely fill out the outer electron ring, the heavy metal becomes unstable, then the chelator can grab hold of these heavy metals and bind chemically with them to pull or chelate the metals out into the urine. Any heavy metal in the brain could be a contributing factor to dementia, or other neurological diseases. And traditional doctors like neurologists will not test for heavy metals. ACAM doctors (American College for the Advancement in Medicine) www.acam.org do test for heavy metals. But you have to search to make sure the doctor is experienced in this. Some are better than others. The ACAM doctor in my hometown didn't even do a heavy metals test on me even though I mentioned to her that I might be mercury poisoned. And my memory was so bad at the time and I was so confused, I didn't think to ask her for one. The father of a man from my church was recently diagnosed with early stage Parkinson's. I explained to the son about mercury and other heavy metals. His Dad has been tested for heavy metals at the Mount Clinic and is awaiting the test results. It is very likely that he has excess lead since he sodered his whole life while working at the General Electric plant. If he is lead poisoned, then his insurance should pay for EDTA chelation treatments since EDTA is recognized by the FDA for the removal of lead. That is the only treatment for EDTA that the FDA recognizes. But of couse the FDA doesn't recognize many things that are harmful. Like the dental section of the FDA is made of entirely of pro-amalgam mercury poisoning dentists. Dr. Boyd Haley recently testified before the Government Reform Committe that there is a synergistic effect on metals in the body when there is more than one. For example, if you are exposed to the heavy metal cadmium from cigarette smoke, then the mercury in your body would be increased in the effects it would cause to your body. When I was tested for heavy metals I had 3 heavy metals. So people need to remove ALL heavy metals from their bodies. And remove mercury poisoning dentists from working on your mouth. Get them out of your life. I have a poster that I put in my back car window now that states, " Warning: Your dentists may be hazardous to your health. www.mercurypoisoned.com " Most dentists expose patients to mercury vapor while removing mercury fillings. And you are more susceptible to mercury poisoning when you are on immune lowering drugs like prednizone. Do the ABC drugs also lower the immune system? So patients go to the dentist taking an immune lowering drug, and then they breathe the mercury vapor while the dentists is drilling out mercury fillings. The vapor goes right to the brain. It would take a NO BRAINER to figure out what this would do to your brain. But the dentists haven't figured it out yet. Neither have the traditional neurologists nor the MS Society. Congressman Dan Burton has figured it out. He saw how mercury containing vaccines changed his normal 18 month old grandson Christian into a arm-flapping and non verbal autistic child one week after receiving 9 vaccinations at one time. 6 of the vaccinations contained the preservative thimerosal, which is by weight 49% mercury. Burton stated that he is going to continue holding hearings on mercury dental fillings and mercury in medical products like in vaccines. He said he was not going to stop holding hearings. He is going to publish his findings and is not going to stop until he has the mercury out of everybody's mouth in America. That is a quote from Burton. I was there and I heard him say it. I have the complete testimonies from the Congressional hearings on my website.
