Medicardium vs. Detoxamin?

[Guest guest]

Re: the below by Debbie Grater, is there any educated article

explaining in layman's terms how Medicardium compares to Detoxamin?

Because if Medicardium's literature is to be believed, then it would

seem Detoxamin adds to peoples' already existing burden of

calcification - or does it not? OK, granted that it doesn't remove

calcifications the way IV Di-Sodium EDTA does; but the big question

is whether it actually adds to it?

> Health care in the West, as we say repeatedly throughout this

Site, is based on dysfunction. Action is largely keyed to disease -

there is much less attention on measures that would prevent the

disease in the first place. In few places are the threats posed by

inaction as great as they are in the face of subclinical,

asymptomatic conditions which toxic metal exposure create. Ignorance

on the subject is enormous within the orthdox community: most

dentists, for instance, will not admit that the mercury leaching from

amalgam fillings pose any health risks - all credible evidence to the

contrary. That is part of the miracle of EDTA chelation therapy - a

benefit that even orthodox medicine admits. What they do not agree on

is who needs it, and how much toxic metal do you have to have in the

body before some preventative chelation measures are taken? This

page examines the relationship between toxic metal exposure and

aging, as well as the sources of exposure of which you should be

mindful.

> The most widely publicized toxic metal is mercury (mostly

from amalgam fillings). According to one prominent medical lab

diagnoses can include numbness, fibromyalgi, allergies, chronicle

tiredness, Crohn's disease, eczema, autoimmune diseases, multiple

scleros, electricity sensitivity, rheumatic diseases, bruises, bad

memory, prolonged fever, candida, diarrhea, and sensitivity to light

and noise. Mercury and lead can both contribute to low-grade mental

illness, while lead and cadmium are major contributors to cancer.

> Some lesser known toxic metals are just beginning to come to

light - and they, too, can be removed with chelation therapy. One

recent report highlighted the work-related dangers of exposure to

beryllium, and, in fact, there is at least one lawsuit detailing the

nature of high-level government cover-up in suppressing information

about its toxicity. (What makes the beryllium cases unusual is that

the nature of its toxicity is so well known.) Despite the existence

of over 6,000 pages detailing the existence of " Beryllium Disease, "

government and industry continue to work in unison to downplay its

effects, in order to minimize liability. Some lawmakers have called

for beryllium tests for military workers.

> Other Culprits

> Other less known or less prominent metals, which can also be

removed through chelation therapy, are worth noting.

>

>

> Cadmium

> Cadmium is a heavy metal widely used in industry. Recent

reports have highlighted medical waste incinerators as a major source

of exposure to the public. Other sources include cigarettes, soft

drinks, water softeners, seafood, rubber, motor oil, pesticides,

fungicides and poly-vinyl plastics. Cadmium can cause chronic fatigue

syndrome, hair loss, high blood pressure, edema, arthritis, kidney

stones, and impotence.

> Arsenic

> Arsenic is also found in cigarette smoke, laundry

detergents, beef, seafood and drinking water. It can cause headaches,

confusion and sleepiness. It candamage the kidneys, liver, and the

lungs. Like beryllium, arsenic has been linked to considerable

efforts by government and industry to cover-up its effects and

downplay the exposure risks.

>

> Barium

> Barium compounds are found in soaps, ceramics, paper, glass,

plastics, textiles, dyes, fuel additives, rubber, paint and

pesticides. Barium toxicity can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and

abdominal pain.

>

>

> Nickel

> Nickel is foundin stainless steel cutlery, pots and pans,

coins, dental fillings, and batteries. It accumulates in the bones,

kidneys, liver, lungs, immune system and the brain, where it can

cause genetic damage and cancer.

> Dietary

> Improvements

> Like so many health hazards, changes in diet can deter or

even eliminate the threat of toxic health exposure, and in some cases

remove the threat after exposure has occurred.

> Chief among these limiting the intake of seaweed, freshwater

fish, pork, and crustaceans. (We have problems with some of Dr.

Huggins other recommendations, and most people would compromise them

anyway: cheese, chocolate, white flour, sugar, etc. But the ones

above are confirmable and coincide with recommendations from others

both inside and outside the orthodox community.)

> Other Options

> The primary purpose of this page has been to educate as to

the prevalence of toxic metal exposure. It is not to infer that all

toxic metals can be effectively removed from the body using EDTA,

whether taken intravenously, orally, or rectally. Mercury poisoning,

for one, has its own unique challenges. EDTA is a weak chelator of

mercury, though it works for a wide variety of other metals. (Dr.

Cranton, one of EDTA's biggest proponent recommends DMSA,

administered orally, as the " safest, most effective, and least

expensive treatment for mercury removal " . The famous Dr. Huggins has

interesting proposals on the use of butter to produce bile acid that

binds and eliminates mercury. (We feel they are worthy of

examination, though it is worth noting that others in the medical

community do not support his findings. From our perspective, butter,

as saturated fat, as other dietary negatives that should make any

therapeutic use quite limited -- in quantity or duration. See

flaxseed.) Age Brings Increased Toxic Exposure

columns show the average amount of each toxic metal you have ingested

by that age. Toxic metals have been shown to cause hundreds of

diseases. To remove these toxic metals, Magnesium Di-Potassium EDTA,

as found in Medicardium may be indicated.

> Mercury (mg)

> Mercury is a heavy metal and potent neurotoxin. A primary

source of exposure comes from your own dentist - producing mercury

exposure both while making and inserting fillings, and even more so

after removing them. Each silver (amalgam) filling releases up to 17

mcg. of mercury every day. This increases to 500 mcg. with the

smoking of cigarettes, the drinking of hot liquids, gum chewing,

acidic saliva or the grinding of teeth at night. Mercury accumulates

in the brain, heart, kidneys, and endodrine glands and can cause

depression, auto-immune diseases, memory loss, tremors, anemia, and

heart attacks.

> Uranium (mcg)

>

> Uranium is a radioactive element that disintegrates

eventually into lead. There have been 2,000 nuclear detonations on

our planet since Hiroshima, casting uranium into our atmosphere, not

counting events like Three Mile Island and Chernobyl. More recently,

environmental uranium has seen an upsurge with the expanded use of

deleted uranium militarily. Radioactive materials can cause cancer

and birth defects.

> Lead (grams)

>

> Lead is a heavy metal found in cigarettes, cosmetics,

plastics, batteries, gasoline, insecticides, pottery glaze, soldered

pipes, and paint. Although one of the most common sources of exposure

has been determined to be ordinary drinking water, little action has

been taken to mitigate public exposure. The U.S. General Accounting

Office recently admitted that about 50% of the U.S. population alone

may be getting unsafe levels of lead exposure from this source. Other

reports concur and have concluded that decaying plumbing is another

major source of exposure (mostly from solder in modern plumbing; from

the plumbing itself in lines installed before 1930). Lead accumulates

in the brain, spleen, liver, kidneys, and bones. Like mercury, lead

is well-established as a powerful neurotoxin and a leading cause of

pediatric neurotoxicity. It has been strongly linked to child

delinquency For each 30 mcg. of lead in a child's blood, his or her

IQ drops 10 points.

> Aluminum can be found in drinking water, antiperspirants,

baking powders, feminine hygiene products, cow and soy milk, baby

formula, antacids, and of course aluminum foil, pots and pans. It

accumulates in the skin, bones, brain and kidneys and can cause

Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
