Heavy Metals Cause Free Radical Damage
(http://www.chelationtherapyonline.com/articles/p105.htm)
Multiple Sclerosis is a disease of civilized man, and, like many other diseases of our modern age, it is a disease of an overactive and misdirected immune system. The specific reasons for this are unclear, but a prominent theory relates heavy metals like mercury, lead and aluminum as the agents that might replace normal molecules in the myelin sheaths, leading to an onslaught of free radical damage, which destroys the myelin sheaths, resulting in MS. In addition, the immune system now sees this tissue as foreign, because of the replacement of heavy metals, and produces antibodies, which attack the myelin, leading to further damage.

Autism was first described in 1943 by Kanner. Thimerosal, a mercury containing preservative, was first use in the vaccines in the early 1930s. Prior to 1970 the prevalence of autism was 1 in 2000. In 1970 it was 1 in 1000 and in 1996 the NIH estimated it to be 1 in 500. In the year 2000 reports from the education sector revealed the incidence to be 1 in 150.
Source of Arsenic In Your Body — Drinking Water For Instance
(http://www.chelationtherapyonline.com/articles/p99.htm)
Arsenic may be found in water, which has flowed through arsenic-rich rocks. Severe health effects have been observed in populations drinking arsenic-rich water over long periods in countries worldwide.
Effects of Toxic Metals on Learning Ability and Behavior
(http://www.chelationtherapyonline.com/articles/p115.htm)
The human brain forms and develops over a long period of time compared to other organs, with neuron proliferation and migration continuing in the postnatal period. The blood-brain barrier is not fully developed until the middle of the first year of life. Similarly there is postnatal activity in the development of neuronal receptors and transmitter systems, as well as in the production of myelin. The fetus has been found to get significant exposure to toxic substances through maternal blood and across the placenta, with fetal levels of toxic metals often being higher than that of maternal blood (30-32,41-43). Likewise infants have been found to get significant exposure to toxics, such as mercury that their mother is exposed to, through breast-feeding (26,43).
Mercury and Lead Poisoning — Mad Hatter’s Disease

Ignoring early warning signs can result in serious illness. The tragic histories of lead and mercury, for example, demonstrate the harm caused when government and industry do not take action to protect public health.
Information On Toxic Metals — Including Chelation By Cysteine

Abstracts of 50 different scientific studies on the dangers of metal toxicity — and the removal of metals from the body by the chelating substance, Cysteine, used in Vibrant Life oral chelation formulas.
INTERPRETATION OF TOXIC METALS IN URINE TEST
(http://www.chelationtherapyonline.com/articles/p106.htm)
MERCURY:
5 or less is considered non-toxic and not likely to cause symptoms
6 to 8 are borderline but not alarming. Treatment with oral DMSA may be desired (this is still less than 2 standard deviations above the mean).
9 or higher is cause for concern and might cause symptoms. Mean=2.2, SD=2.5.
(Mercury is not desirable in any amount but the healthy human body has always contained a baseline amount of mercury. It is not justified to diagnose toxicity at levels existing in millions of Americans without symptoms of metal toxicity—those below the 97th percentile in non-toxic, healthy people).
A Doctor Explains Oral EDTA Chelation Therapy
(http://www.chelationtherapyonline.com/articles/p113.htm)
The traditional amount of IV EDTA administration is 3 grams per IV session. Many in the forefront of chelation therapy are advocating a lower dose of 1800 mg of EDTA to achieve the similar effect. Taking 1800 mg of oral chelation for 20 days ( 300 mg x6 tablets) daily at 5% intestinal absorption rate will deliver to the body the same amount of EDTA as in one IV session of 1800 mg . In other words, the amount of oralEDTA based on 1800 a day is equivalent to one IV treatment every 3 weeks.
Karl Note: This is not valid science, but at the very least it is an admission by an IV doctor that oral chelation does work.

Deadly Tuna — Mercury Deception
(http://www.chelationtherapyonline.com/technical/p112.htm)
One reason she didn’t know was that the government had never said so. The FDA had known for many years that canned tuna contained mercury, which studies link to learning impairment in children. Consumer groups long urged the agency to address the issue. But it wasn’t until March 2004, after regulatory tussles between health advocates and the tuna industry and between clashing scientists for the FDA and EPA, that those agencies issued a mercury advisory that cited tuna. That joint EPA and FDA advisory urged limits on how much tuna children and some women should eat.
Common Industrial Chemicals Cause Great Harm
(http://www.chelationtherapyonline.com/technical/p80.htm)
For years, scientists have struggled to explain rising rates of some cancers and childhood brain disorders. Something about modern living has driven a steady rise of certain maladies, from breast and prostate cancer to autism and learning disabilities.
One suspect now is drawing intense scrutiny: the prevalence in the environment of certain industrial chemicals at extremely low levels. A growing body of animal research suggests to some scientists that even minute traces of some chemicals, always assumed to be biologically insignificant, can affect such processes as gene activation and the brain development of newborns.
The solution to THIS type of toxicity is ONLY elimination of the substances from the environment, long ago, or the Hubbard Detoxification Program when, as now, it is too late. There is no other way to remove these toxins. (http://www.chelationtherapyonline.com/technical/p8.htm)
Fear in the Fields: How Hazardous Wastes Become Fertilizer
(http://www.chelationtherapyonline.com/technical/p40.htm)
They don’t have proof that the stuff they put on their land to feed it actually was killing it. But they discovered something they found shocking and that they think other American farmers and consumers ought to know:
Manufacturing industries are disposing of hazardous wastes by turning them into fertilizer to spread around farms. And they’re doing it legally.
Fear in the Fields: How Hazardous Wastes Become Fertilizer — Part 2
(http://www.chelationtherapyonline.com/technical/p41.htm)
When a trucker picks up a load of gray, toxic ash from a metal-processing plant in California, he hangs a “hazardous waste” sign on his rig. On crossing the border into Nevada, he takes the sign down.
In that state, what he’s carrying is no longer considered hazardous waste, but fertilizer ingredients. The waste will be delivered to a factory in Reno, treated to remove part of the heavy metals, blended with other materials and sold as fertilizer to farmers in, among other places, California.
Throughout the country, example after example of hazardous wastes being turned into fertilizer
(http://www.chelationtherapyonline.com/technical/p42.htm)
More than 1,000 acres of peanut crops were killed by Lime Plus, a toxic brew of hazardous waste and limestone that had been sold – legally – to unsuspecting farmers.
It is the worst confirmed case in the United States of heavy metals in fertilizer destroying crops aimed for human consumption.

Among boys drinking water with 30% to 99% of the fluoride levels recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the risk of osteosarcoma was estimated to be five times as great as among boys drinking nonfluoridated water. At 100% or more, the risk was an estimated seven times as high. The association was greatest for boys six to eight.

Toxicity?
Jun 12th
WHAT IS A GOOD CLEANSING PROGRAM?
By Karl Loren
There are basically two very different forms of toxins:
Bacteria-
First are the organic toxins, not normally called “toxins” but which could be called that — consisting of germs, fungus, parasites and other living and non-living “things” with protein in them. This would include viruses.
Next are the inorganic toxins, such as lead, mercury, iron, cadmium and mostly heavy metals
Much of this comes from factories and car exhaust.
There are probably more complete definitions of these two classifications.
You would handle organic toxins by improving the immune system — not by “taking” something like a drug or vitamin to “get rid of viruses.” I sell something called “Transfer Factor” and you should read the page where I’ve written a lengthy article about “them,” at:
Generally when we talk about detoxification we think of getting rid of metal toxins. Then you are into something called, generally, a “chelator.” That is a substance that grabs the toxic metal and helps remove it from the body.
Finally, there is a condition of sickness where a combination of organic and inorganic toxins are causing severe illness or weakness and where the detoxification process itself (because it “loosens” poisons prior to their being “flushed out” of the body — this process can add to the toxic load and make a person more ill.
For instance, you can have a piece of toxic metal, which is “stuck” into some tissue, causing some problem. But, the detoxification of that piece of metal may result in it first becoming “unstuck” and then floating in the blood stream where it can to toxic overload. In such a case the chelation might actually be harmful, or the chelation may have to be done on a very gentle gradient.
In fact, one of the safest detoxifiers is just plain water. A person, even in poor health, should drink at least a gallon of water per day — small amounts (like 4 ounces) every twenty minutes. You will urinate a lot — getting rid of toxins of all types.
So, a “strenuous detoxification program” for a person in very poor health should only be undertaken under professional supervision.
If you have decided that you are not in need of professional supervision, and have gotten to the point of drinking a gallon of water per day, you could then decide whether you need improvement of your immune system, or elimination of toxic metals as being most important. You can do both at the same time — and generally only money would be the consideration here.
For detoxifying the body of organic toxins (virus, germs, infections) I would ONLY recommend colostrum, or much better, “Transfer Factor.” (Again, read about transfer factors at: (http://www.supercolostrum.com/).
Your real choice of variety comes with getting rid of inorganic toxins — and besides choosing a good chelating formula (containing cysteine and EDTA, at least) would be to also consider how you could also work in exercise and sauna along with the detoxifying formula. Exercise and sauna (heat) get the blood moving faster and greatly improves the efficiency of the chelation process.
Drinking lots of water, and sweating, helps eliminate those toxins through the urine and sweat.
Colonics and enemas are a very direct way of removing toxins of all sorts from the intestines. You can even move in the direction of “inserts” of things (like garlic) into the rectum, and leaving them there to provide detoxification in a direct sense to the lower intestine.
You can take MSM to increase the permeability of cells membranes so that the cells can get rid of toxins more easily. You can put “substances” such as MSM lotion, or poultices of various types, on your skin as a localized detoxifyer.
When you look at this picture in these simplicities, the whole puzzle of “detoxification” falls into a few simple actions.

CHELATION – HOW IT WORKS
Jun 6th
By Karl Loren
November 11, 2000
Here is a mechanical explanation of the chelating process — and a comparison of intravenous chelation therapy with oral chelation.
There are two places where heavy (toxic) metals exist in the body: One is free floating in fluids, mostly blood, and the other is “stuck” into some tissue — these are tiny — about the size of several molecules. So, a tiny molecular amount of metal can be “stuck” in any organ, lung, liver, heart, flesh, etc. You could have many thousands of these “pieces” of metal in your body — this did not exist a few hundred years ago.
Whether they might be “harmful” to the kidneys on the way out is almost moot since they are very harmful while still inside the body. The “harm” caused by metals is because they act as “multipliers” of free radicals. This is not well understood by most medical doctors since there is no possibility that any drug could remove metals or reduce free radical activity. Vitamins and various natural substances can neutralize free radicals, but drugs mostly just create them, not stop them.
There are both “intravenous chelation therapy” and “oral chelation.”
IV chelation uses the artificial amino acid, EDTA, only, to remove metals. EDTA will NOT remove those metals that are “stuck” into tissues, but do a great job in removing metals that are free floating. It does this by “binding” to the metal. When the EDTA and metal are bound together, the body then regards this artificial amino acid as a “foreign body” within the blood stream and processes it out through the kidneys. Indeed, you do have metals passing through the kidneys, but this is not very serious compared to leaving the metals IN the body. Nonetheless IV doctors always look into the health of your kidneys before they do the IV chelation.
When a person has “weak kidneys” an IV doctor might refuse to do the chelation therapy, but this is rare. The danger of the IV chelation to the kidneys is not so much the toxic metals passing through, but the burden of “processing” a fairly large amount, in a short period of time, of an “artificial” substance — the EDTA.
EDTA is also not very effective in binding to (and thereby removing) mercury. Because many people have silver fillings, which are full of mercury, most people have mercury toxicity. The EDTA works wonders, but Cysteine is actually a better chelator for mercury than EDTA. EDTA has something like a “half life” inside the body — that is, once EDTA is put in the body there are a few hours during which it is “doing its thing” and being processed out of the body through the kidneys. Within a few minutes a small amount of the EDTA (bound to metals) would be processed through the kidneys. After several hours generally all of the EDTA that had been used would be gone from the body. The dose of EDTA, for IV chelation, is approximately one gram, or 1.5 grams, administered over a three hour period; that amount and speed of delivery is arrived at as the most efficient, and safe, amount for this process. Then, the IV doctor expects you to return for further treatments — perhaps 20 or 30, at the rate of one per week, or perhaps 3 per week.
Oral Chelation (my formula) uses EDTA also, but since only 5% of oral EDTA is absorbed into the body, only this tiny amount is working in the same way as described above. Since my daily dose of EDTA is 500 mg, the amount of EDTA getting inside the body is very small compared to an IV chelation treatment. Nonetheless, this tiny amount does exactly the same thing for OC as happens with IV.
About 95% of the oral EDTA stays in the stomach and intestines. It passes through on whatever schedule you have for bowl movements. In these areas, however, it has wonderfully useful activity — first, it does the same action of “binding” to metals that might be included in your food, or whatever has gotten into your stomach. This means that these metals don’t have a chance to invade your body — but get bound to the EDTA and go out with your stool, into the toilet. This EDTA can also attract metals that are inside the body — attract them through the wall of the intestine, into the stool, and out into the toilet.
EDTA happens; also, to be one of the most effective of free radical scavengers and therefore the EDTA prevents all sorts of free radical damage that could originate in the stomach and intestines, and also invade the body, causing harm.
