Guest guest Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Zinc is essential for the male reproductive system, and deficiencies will cause malfunction in that area, as well as in immunity, cognitive function, and myriad other vital human functions. Providing adequate zinc is essential while doing chelation, as 7 molecules of zinc are removed with every molecule of mercury that is excreted. Exercise shops and fertility shops advertise zinc monomethionine to increase testosterone and sperm count for those men who are deficient in zinc. Yes, zinc is necessary to help our boys develop normally in their sexual growth; whether " too much " (very difficult to determine), will push them toward overproduction I doubt, but would be interested in hearing about any study along those lines. Other forms of zinc, such as picolinate, are also advertised to increase testosterone. I don't think it matters what kind of zinc you use, it's just that zinc monomethionine is the best absorbed and the most efficient. Since we can't chelate our kids without keeping up the zinc levels, and we do want them to have normal masculination, I see no way around the use of zinc, especially when I repeatedly get tests that show their RBC intracellular levels are down. When the kids in the Geier work get Lupron to lower their testosterone which helps the effectiveness of chelation (testosterone binds to mercury making mercury harder to remove without lowering the testosterone in some kids) they still have to give adequate zinc for the chelation to work. Since this is the main controlling factor that will make or break the effectiveness of chelation, I will continue to give it until I find another way, and I will continue to give zinc monomethionine, which is probably the best form to use, even though I always use picolinate too to make sure enough gets in. And many kids have been effectively chelated using adequate zinc and without having to get hormone-lowering medications; in some kids, the Hg-testosterone level is so high they seem to be exhibiting precocious puberty, and those would be ones I would consider for the Geier treatment, otherwise I would rather not fool around with their hormones, since we do not know how this intervention may affect their future reproductive system.
