Heavy metals detox-Neurotoxin Elimination 

 

Everyone has a certain amount of heavy metals in their body. 

Heavy metal poisoning is the accumulation of various heavy metals in your body. Environmental and industrial factors expose you to high levels of heavy metals every day, including the foods you eat (fish), air you breathe and water you drink, vaccines, medicines and cosmetics we use.

 

The heavy metal detox is mostly recommended for those who:

-trying to conceive or had miscarriage before

-trying to balance the hormones 

-losing weight as the body can not eliminate these toxins naturally on its own 

-stay young as heavy metals toxicity is blocking the glutathione production which is responsible for your youth 

 

A heavy metal detox aims to remove excess heavy metals from the body (aluminium, antimony, arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, lead, mercury, nickel, thallium and uranium ). 

 

Substance that binds to heavy metals is known as a chelator, and the process that transports them out of the body is called chelation. 

 

For heavy metal detox we use chlorella and chlorella/cilantro oil or tincture.

According to various studies that chelation by cilantro and chlorella naturally remove and average of 87% of lead, 91%of mercury and 74% of aluminium from the body within 45 days.

 

 

Starting with chlorella, dosage below:

There are three strategies to dosing chlorella:
1) Low dose: 0.25 – 1 gram with meals-this dose will bind mercury and other heavy metals in the food that you eat (i.e. mercury in fish) and add 1/2-1gram per day 

 

2) Mobilising dose: 3-9 grams per day-the dose could be taken all at once or divided twice a day 1h away from food but best at night before bed.

Phase is best to do 10-14 days prior to your scheduled chelation

 

3) Chelating dose: 2-3 times the mobilising dose - to be used during chelation days. The day prior to your chelation, double or triple the dose, and continue the doubled dose the day of the chelation and the day after. This chelation dose of chlorella is designed to move the mercury out (through the bowel). 

-1 gram is usually 2 pills

-Its best to take your dose away from food by at least 30 min-1h and entire dose can be taken at one time. Take 30 minutes before the main meals and at bedtime this is the best strategy for gut detox because it concentrates the chlorella in the gut, scrubbing the heavy metals from the biofilm, gut lining and the pathogens. 

This strategy is often used earlier in the detox treatment, when bowel functional restoration is important.
Once the gut and extra cellular connective tissues have been detoxed for at least 1 month (for some longer), chlorella and cilantro are used for the most effective detox combination. 

​

Chlorella/cilantro dose: 

• Start with 3 drops chlorella-cilantro in an 8 oz glass water, twice a day, one h before meals.

Increase each dose by 6 drops every other day until the dosage reaches 52 drops twice a day.

(cilantro causes the gallbladder to dump bile — containing the excreted neurotoxins — into the small intestine. The bile-release occurs naturally as we are eating and is much enhanced by cilantro. If no chlorella is taken, most neurotoxins are reabsorbed on the way down the small intestine by the abundant nerve endings of the enteric nervous system). 

• Take 1800mg (1.8 gram) of NAC (N-acetyl cysteine) per day-its promotes detoxification.

NAC plays an important role in your body detoxification process and helps to prevent or diminish kidney and liver damage. It can help prevent side effects of drugs and environmental toxins. NAC also regulate levels of glutamate. NAC is one of the most effective oral chelating agent, taken regularly over a period of time, will remove many toxic heavy metals from the body.

• When performing a heavy metal detox, it is absolutely essential that you are sufficiently hydrated for the duration. Start the day with glass of water with lemon and turmeric.

   The fresh lemon juice enhances the waters ability to latch onto toxins in your body and   

   help flash them out.

 

-Other ways of taking cilantro: rub 5 drops twice/day into ankles for mobilisation of metals in all organs, joints and structures          below the diaphragm, and into the wrists for organs, joints and structures above the diaphragm. 

The wrists have dense autonomic innervation (axonal uptake of cilantro) and are crossed by the main lymphatic channels (lymphatic uptake).

-Cilantro pesto-one cup of fresh cilantro and six tablespoons of olive oil and blend it till cilantro is   

 chopped, add one clove of garlic, half cup of almonds and two tbs of lemon juice, blend to a   

 lumpy paste and eat couple of teaspoons a day.

-Cilantro tea: use 10 to 20 drops in cup of hot water, sip slowly. 

Clears the brain quickly of many neurotoxins. 

Good for headaches and other acute symptoms (joint pains, angina, headache).   

Or, rub 10–15 drops into painful area. Often achieves almost instant pain relief.

-if you take cilantro chlorella separate, chlorella  should be 45-60 min prior to cilantro dose;
-All Vitamin C supplements at the end of the meal

-If fish oils are taken, you may want to take with chlorella.
-The strategy is to take chlorella 30-60 minutes before meals and/ or at night before bed followed by cilantro. 

-This strategy will be most effective in removing neurotoxins that are detoxed in the liver and delivered to the bowel from the bile. 

 

 

• If you have GI disturbance with chlorella, divide your dose and take with
  meals. Although this will provide less bowel detox action, but it may be
  easier on the stomach. 

• When mobilising mercury with chlorella and cilantro, it is best to take
  your dose (divided) chlorella dose 45-60 min. prior to your meal; then your cilantro with the meal. 

• If fish oils are taken, it is best to take the fish oils with the chlorella. 

• Fish oils may contain mercury. Therefore it is advisable to dose your chlorella with the fish oils (to bind the mercury). Fish oils are an important strategy to rehabilitate the membranes, which are always a problem in all chronic health issues. 

• Vitamin C will inactivate the action of chlorella and cilantro, therefore do not supplement Vitamin C at that meal or take as far away from the chlorella or cilantro doses. That is why we recommend taking Vitamin C at the end of the meal or best at another meal. . 

• Chewing the chlorella is the best because saliva will tag the chlorella naturally (with monoclonal antibodies) and delivered to the most receptive areas. 

• If you have continued problems with chlorella, try adding cellulose (an enzyme able to be purchased- health food store). If still a problem, switch to Porpha-zyme, or one of the clatherating agents (NDF, PCA, Metal Free) 

• The gut is the major route for heavy metal detoxification, therefore the gut must be functioning well with (hopefully multiple bowel movements per day). If not, re-absorption of the mercury is likely to occur. 

• This dosing can be used as a naturopathic chelation by itself, or in conjunction with other chelation methods (i.e. DMPS, DMSA, EDTA, D- Penicillimine), which has been shown to greatly enhance the yield.

• The day after the chelation we usually schedule a vitamin and mineral IV with glutathione, which is also a chelator with a slightly different action. The chelation dose of chlorella is extended to cover the day of this therapy.
  The detox spa can greatly enhance the detox of neurotoxins - mercury and other heavy metals, toxic chemicals chronic infection neurotoxins.... It is best to do detox spa procedures the day after the IV chelation. 

 

Other excipients of heavy metals detox:

• apple pectin

• Zeolite-is medicinal use mineral to remove heavy metals and other free radicals from the body, usually dosage 15 drops with water three times a day.

• chitosan

• charcoal

• clay and cholestyramin

• Vitamin C

• Garlic-Garlic has been shown to protect the white and red blood cells from oxidative damage caused by metals in the blood stream — on their way out — and also has its own valid detoxification functions. Garlic contains numerous sulphur components, including the most valuable sulph-hydryl groups, which oxidize mercury, cadmium and lead and make these metals water-soluble. This makes it easy for the organism to excrete these substances. Garlic also contains alliin which is enzymatically transformed into allicin, natures most potent antimicrobial agent. Garlic also contains the most important mineral, which protects from mercury toxicity, bioactive selenium. Most selenium products are poorly absorbable and do not reach those body compartments in need for it. Garlic selenium is the most beneficial natural bio-available source. 

         Dosage: 1–3 capsules freeze dried garlic after each meal. Start with 1 capsule after the  

         main meal per day; slowly increase to the higher dosage. Initially the patient may 

         experience die-off reactions (from killing pathogenic fungal or bacterial organisms). Use    

         5–10 drops bear-garlic on food at least 3 times per day.

• NAC-is though to clear mercury and lead through the urine and it increases the production of glutathione. NAC also improve psychiatric disorders and addictive behaviour. NAC also regulate levels of glutamate (most important neurotransmitter in your brain). Boosts brain health by regulating glutamate and replenishing glutathione

• agents: DMPS, DMSA, Na EDTA, D-Penicillamine, 

• Glutathione-is an intra-mitochondrial antioxidant found inside every cell and in highest concentrations in the liver. Its used extensively in the body, mopping up free radicals and binding with toxins, such as heavy metals, for exertion via the liver and in urine. It can easy become depleted if demand excess supply, and if there is insufficient glutathione then the body will nee less able to deal with heavy metals exposure and harmful levels will accumulate. Depletion of glutathione is linked to neurodegenerative immune cardiovascular and liver disease plus cystic fibrosis and accelerated ageing (all are indicative of glutathione depletion and suggest the need to increase level)

         Nutrients that raise glutathione levels: milk thistle, NAC, ALA, selenium, got kola and L-     

         glutamine plus eating cruciferous vegetables, antioxidant -ich foods plus exercise

• milk thistle-can prevent toxins from penetrating the interior of liver cells, while promoting the growth of healthy new cells to repair liver damage. Other compounds in the seed may have a similarly renewing effect on the kidneys, and may even be beneficial for the prostate gland. The seeds also have antioxidant properties, helping mop up damaging free radicals. 

• fresh dandelion root- contains antioxidant and inflammation resistant compounds, helps the liver

• fresh burdock root- many nutrients in this root enhance its diuretic ability, promote cleansing of blood, and therefore, enhance your overall body wellness. Finally, active polyacetylenes that are abundant in this root have potent antifungal and antimicrobial properties, and thus protect your body against harm.

• red clover top- is a potential protection against heart disease. It works by increasing “good” cholesterol levels, strengthening the arteries, improving blood flow, and keeping blood from clothing by thinning it. Also works as a diuretic.

• turmeric root-liver detoxification, skin tone, blood purification, pain relief, improving memory, and relieving inflammation, decrease the oxidative damage from toxins.

• hydrangea root-can enliven and strengthen specific organs, entire systems or the whole body. In the case of hydrangea root, it is a tonic specific to the urinary tract organs, serving not only to strengthen them but also to detoxify them if needed.

• Uva Ursi leaf

• Spirulina-(preferably from Hawaii), its a blue-green algae which draws out heavy metals from your brain, central nervous system and liver. Usually dosage 2 tsp mixed with water or juice.

• Barley grass-this nutritive grass has the ability to draw heavy metals out of the spleen, intestinal tract, pancreas, thyroid and reproductive system. Barley grass juice extract prepares the mercury for complete absorption by the spirulina. Usual dose 1-2 tsp mixed with water or juice

 

 

Supporting treatments in heavy metals detoxification:

• lymphatic drainage

• massage

• infra- red sauna

• ozone steam

• mercury vapor lamp 

• colonics 

• detox foot baths

• acupuncture

 

Post-chelation phase: 

-For 3-5 days after the finish of the chelating dose take the mobilising dose in divided dosages with meals. 

-To bind the mercury from its release in the liver 

-This is the time to do gall bladder flushes and to take additional GI binders
-Stabilisation phase: Don’t take the maintenance dose until the start of the next
cycle. 

-If eating fish or other mercury contaminated products, take 1⁄2 -1 grams of chlorella with meal to bind the mercury. 

 

Neurotoxins include: 

-toxic heavy metals (mercury, lead cadmium, aluminum…)

-toxic chemicals (phthalates and other plasticizers; benzene, stirene, formaldehyde, dioxin, insecticides, solvents, PCB’s...) 

-biodoxins from chronic infections (lyme, botulinum, parasites, clamydia, TB, fungus, candida, virus to name a few), and (iv) other endogenous and exogenous neurotoxins (foods, preservatives, cosmetics, bad gut bugs).

 

 

Here is an incomplete list of common neurotoxins in order of importance:

1. Heavy metals — such as mercury, lead , cadmium and aluminium 

2. Biotoxins — such as tetanus toxin, botulinum toxin (botox), ascaridin (from intestinal parasites), unspecified toxins from streptococci, staphylococci, lyme disease, clamydia, tuberculosis, fungal toxins and toxins produced by viruses. Biotoxins are minute molecules (200–1000 kilodaltons) containing nitrogen and sulfur. They belong to a group of chemical messengers, which microorganisms use to control the host's immune system, host behavior and the host's eating habits. 

3. Xenobiotics (man-made environmental toxins) — such as dioxin, formaldehyde, insecticides, and wood preservatives, PCBs etc. 

4. Food Preservatives, excitotoxins and cosmetics, such as aspartame (diet sweeteners) food colorings,fluoride , methyl-and propyl-paraben, etc

5. Toxins from mobile phone use or home close to power lines etc.

 

When mercury is removed, the body starts to more effectively eliminate all other neurotoxins, even if they are not addressed.

 

Symptoms of heavy metal toxicity vary depending on the type of metal you’re overexposed to:

Mercury, lead, arsenic and cadmium are some of the more common overexposed metals. 

Acute symptoms associated with these metals include:

• headaches

• abdominal pain and cramping

• nausea

• vomiting

• diarrhea

• fatigue

• difficulty breathing

• depression

• insomnia

• memory loss

• joint pains, 

• depression, 

• burning sensations, 

• digestive–related problemsIn 

More severe cases of chronic heavy metal poisoning, you may experience symptoms including:

• burning and tingling sensations

• chronic infections

• brain fog

• visual disturbances

• insomnia

• paralysis

Cilantro/Coriander -(Coriandrum sativum)

kitchen herb is capable of mobilising mercury, cadmium, lead and aluminum in both bones and the central nervous system. It is probably the only effective agent in mobilising mercury stored in the intracellular space (attached to mitochondria, tubulin, liposomes etc) and in the nucleus of the cell (reversing DNA damage of mercury). 

Because cilantro mobilises more toxins than it can carry out of the body, it may flood the connective tissue (where the nerves reside) with metals, that were previously stored in safer hiding places. This process is called re-toxification. 

It can easily be avoided by simultaneously giving an intestinal toxin-absorbing agent. 

Our definite choice is the algal organism chlorella.  A recent animal study demonstrated rapid removal of aluminum from the skeleton superior to any known other detox agent.

 

Chlorella Pyrenoidosa is a species of fresh water green algae. 

• Chlorella is a superfood and is renowned for its health benefits. It is packed with nutrients and beneficial vitamins. It contains all of the B vitamins, vitamins C and E, amino acids, beta-carotene, iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium, potassium, rare trace minerals as well as essential fatty acids. 

   Detox properties of Chlorella:

• Chlorella is about the size of a red blood cell (2-10 microns) and has a polysaccharide membrane that can absorb large amounts of dioxin, lead, mercury and other toxins.

• Chlorella has many health benefits and helps the body to detoxify. 

• Chlorella is rich in neuropeptides which are small molecules that influence brain activity. These have been shown to latch on to metals and eliminate them through the urinary tract.

• Chlorella is both a chelator, moving heavy metals out of the body and a mobiliser, moving mercury and other heavy metals from deeper stores to more readily removal areas. 

• Chlorella is very complimentary with other detox agents and support agents, which can be used for more efficient and effective detox. 

• The benefits of Chlorella make it a perfect tool for body detoxification. Its fibrous outer cell wall binds with heavy metals and pesticides that accumulate in the body and ushers them out. Its high content of chlorophyll makes it an ideal cleanser for the blood stream and the elimination channels, ensuring that metabolic wastes are carried away from the tissues. 

• The ‘Pyrenoidosa’ strain of Chlorella is a substance that is extremely effective at binding neurotoxins and more effective at binding toxic metals than any other known natural substance.  

• Chlorella is a major nutrient in Heavy Metal Detoxification

• Chlorella is the most studied nutrient (2000 pier reviewed articles mostly Asian) 

• Chlorella binds heavy metals in the gut, and from the blood circulating through the bowel wall. The clatherating agents or HM binding peptides appear to pass through the bowel and enter the blood stream and extra cellular spaces. It does not cross the brain barrier.

• Chlorella binds strongly to all Heavy Metals and therefore can become contaminated with HM easily; some sources appear to be contaminated; quality is important. 

• Chlorella can be used as a mobilizing agent or chelating agent depending upon the dosage. 

• Chlorella is an excellent food for detox, complete source of amino acids, B12, essential fatty acids and good mineral source; green foods are very good for gut health and alkalizing the body; it has anti bacterial and viral properties, and enhances growth hormone.

• There are two species of chlorella that are important for detox:
   -C. pyreneidosa is better for the absorption of toxins, but harder to digest.

          -C. vulgaris has a higher amount of chlorella growth factor content, is easier to digest but less metal binding capability 

• Chlorella is antiviral (especially effective against the cytomegaly virus from the herpes family) 

• Clorella binding toxins (mucopolysaccharide membrane)  all known toxic metals, environmental toxins such as dioxin and others 

• Repairs and activates the body's detoxification functions 

• Dramatically increases reduced glutathione

• Sporopollein is as effective as cholestyramin in binding neurotoxins and more effective in binding toxic metals than any other natural substance found. 

• Various peptides restore coeruloplasmin and metallothioneine. 

• Lipids (12.4%) alpha-and gamma-linoleic acid help to balance the increased intake of fish oil during our detox program and are necessary for a multitude of functions, including formation of the peroxisomes. 

• Methyl-coblolamine is food for the nervous system, restores damaged neurons and has its own detoxifying effect. 

• Chlorella growth factor helps the body detoxify itself in a yet not understood profound way. It appears that over millions of years chlorella has developed specific detoxifying proteins and peptides for every existing toxic metal. 

• The porphyrins in chlorophyll have their own strong metal binding effect. Chlorophyll also activates the PPAR-receptor on the nucleus of the cell which is responsible for the transcription of DNA and coding the formation of the peroxisomes (see fish oil), opening of the cell wall (unknown mechanism) which is necessary for all detox procedures, normalises insulin resistance and much more. Medical drugs that activate the PPAR receptor (such as pioglitazone) have been effective in the treatment of breast and prostate cancer. 

• Chlorella is a super nutrient: 50–60% amino acid content, ideal nutrient for vegetarians, methylcobolamin — the most easily absorbed and utilised form of B12, B6, minerals, chlorophyll, beta carotene etc. 

• Chlorella strengthening immune system 

• Chlorella restores bowel flora ( reducing the heavy metal binding on the pathogenic bacteria and fungus, thereby reducing their competitive)
  advantage with the beneficial bacteria

• Chlorella is a digestive Aid (bulking agent) 

• Chlorella is an alkalinising agent (Important for patient's with malignancies)

 

Heavy metals tests:

-You doctor will test your blood, urine, and hair to measure metals toxicity (heavy metals panel or heavy metal toxicity test) although its very unlikely that GP will give you referral.

-Purchasing a heavy metal toxicity hair analysis test can give you an idea of how poisoned you think you are. 

-An experienced Naturopath or Nutrionist may suggest a synthetic chelator but this is unlikely as they have more side effects and looked quite nasty.

-How is the Diagnosis Established?

• History of Exposure: Did you ever have any amalgam fillings? 

• Symptoms: How is your short term memory? Do you have areas of numbness, strange sensations, etc?

• Laboratory Testing:Metals, hair, stool, serum, whole blood, urine analysis, xenobiotics, fatty tissue biopsy and urine

• Autonomic Response Testing Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt M.D., Ph.D.

• BioEnergetic Testing EAV, kinesiology, QXCI

• Response to Therapeutic Trial 

• Functional Acuity Contrast Test (measure of Retinal Blood Flow)

• According to the National Capital Poison Center, in 2005, a 5-year-old autistic boy died during intravenous chelation therapy using the drug disodium edetate. The chelation therapy caused low calcium levels in his blood, causing cardiac arrest and tissue death, which ultimately led to brain death.

 They also report that in 2003, a 53-year-old female died during a naturopathic    

  treatment of intravenous chelation therapy, which used the drug 

 ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. Chelation therapy caused a drop in calcium 

 levels, which then affected blood supply to the heart muscle and cardiac rhythm.

Thats why natural methods are much safer.

 

 

Understanding the elimination of neurotoxins using chlorella/ cilantro 

• Neurotoxins are substances attracted to the mammalian nervous system. They are absorbed by nerve endings and travel inside the neuron to the cell body. On their way they disrupt vital functions of the nerve cell, such as axonal transport of nutrients, mitochondrial respiration and proper DNA transcription.

• The body is constantly trying to eliminate neurotoxins via the available exit routes the liver, kidney, skin and exhaled air. 

• Toxicity, specifically neurotoxicity, is one of the root causes of all chronic diseases. 

• Removing neurotoxins from your bowel is critical for successful treatment of heavy metal, toxic chemical, chronic infection detoxification as well as endogenous toxins that are produced by the “bad” bugs in the bowel and exogenous toxins that we eat.

• The importance of binding neurotoxins and removing them in the feces is outlined in the end “Understanding Neurotoxins...” 

• Neurotoxins are not excreted easily; 

Neurotoxins are naturally excreted from the bowel via the liver and bile. 

Unfortunately neurotoxins are naturally and mostly re- absorbed in the bowel by its vast nervous complex (enteric nervous system) and then redistributed into first the liver then to the brain, peripheral nerves, cellular membranes fat or other bodily compartments. 

To effectively remove the neurotoxin, they need to be effectively bound in the upper part of the small intestine, when the bile is secreted during digestion. 

• Detox mechanisms include acetylation, sulfation, glucuronidation, oxidation and others. 

The liver is most important in these processes. 

• Here most elimination products are expelled with the bile into the small intestine and should leave the body via the digestive tract. However, because of the lipophilic/neurotropic nature of the neurotoxins, most are reabsorbed by the abundant nerve endings of the enteric nervous system (ENS) in the intestinal wall. The ENS has more neurons than the spinal chord. From the moment of mucosal uptake the toxins can potentially take 4 different paths:Neuronal uptake and via axonal transport to the spinal chord (sympathetic neurons) or brainstem (parasympathetics) — from here back to the brain.
  Venous uptake and via the portal vein back to the liver. Lymphatic uptake and via the thoracic duct to the subclavian vein. Uptake by bowel bacteria and tissues of the intestinal tract.

• chlorella is our food of choice for detoxing the bowel and body, because it is not only a great chelator but a very important food supplying many vital nutrients required to detox and change your internal body chemistry (or internal milieu) to a healthier environment. 

• Chlorella is a very important food for detoxifying all neurotoxins from the bowel. Chlorella is the only intelligent chelator, very effectively removes neurotoxins but also a whole and complete natural food supplying a rich source of amino acids, essential fatty acids, B-12 and vitamins and minerals. Some consider Chlorella to be one of the best natural foods available, it is by far the largest health food eaten by more people world- wide.

• Chlorella eaten with food or dosing chlorella 1 hour prior to a cilantro dose will bind the neurotoxin in the bile with the chlorella and carry it out in the feces. 

• Cilantro causes the liver to release the bile. 

Cilantro is also an important source of organic selenium, a very important mineral in heavy metal detox. 

The action of cilantro is quick (about 20 min). 

• Cilantro mobilises mercury and other neurotoxins from the cell membranes but does not chelate (or pull them out well). 

Therefore an important detox strategy is to have chlorella on board at the time of mobilisation (taking cilantro) to more effectively chelate the metals out. 

 

Side effects

Chelation therapy can cause many side effects, including:

• Headaches

• a reduction in calcium levels, which can be fatal

• a drop in blood pressure

• permanent kidney damage

 

 

Alternatives

A person may be able to reduce the levels of heavy metals in their body more gradually by making changes to their diet. 

Certain foods, such as spirulina and cilantro, may help transport excess heavy metals out of the body. The following foods may be effective for heavy metal detoxification:

-Dietary fiber: Various foods rich in fiber, such as fruit and grains with bran, may help remove heavy metals. Researchers have found fiber to reduce mercury levels in the brain and blood.

-Chlorella: Studies have shown that chlorella increases the detoxification of mercury in mice.

-Foods containing sulfur: Foods rich in sulfur, such as garlic and broccoli, may be good chelators. -Research has suggested that garlic may have prevented kidney damage from cadmium and reduced oxidative damage from lead in rats.

-Cilantro: Cilantro may help. In an animal study, cilantro decreased absorption of lead into bone. 

 

The same review also lists some supplements that may work to chelate heavy metals from the body:

-Glutathione: Certain forms of glutathione, when a person takes it other than orally, may protect cells from the oxidative damage that heavy metals can cause.

-Modified citrus pectin: Modified citrus pectin and substances from brown seaweeds lowered heavy metal toxicity by roughly 74% in human participants across five case studies.

-Sulfur-containing amino acids: Examples of these are taurine and methionine.

-Alpha-lipoic acid: Alpha-lipoic acid is a strong antioxidant that can renew other antioxidants in the body and chelate metals from the body.

-Selenium: Selenium may help remove mercury from the body. In one trial, organic selenium supplementation benefited people with mercury exposure.

 

Although these are less extreme methods of detoxifying the body, it is still important to take care when using supplements or excessive quantities of one type of food.

Although dietary fiber may help detoxify the body, one study found that soluble fiber such as flaxseed increased the retention of cadmium in rats. People with high exposure to cadmium may therefore need to exercise caution when consuming flaxseed.

Certain chelators, such as alpha-lipoic acid, can cause the redistribution of metals in the body. People should therefore take care when using certain detoxification substances and always follow the advice of a healthcare professional.

Psychiatric Disturbances

 

High protein, mineral, fatty acid and fluid intake. Proteins provide the important precursors to the endogenous metal detox and shuttle agents, such as coeruloplasmin, metallothioneine, glutathione and others. The branched-chain amino acids in cow and goat whey have valuable independent detox effects. 

 

Metals attach themselves only in places that are programmed for attachment of metal ions. Mineral deficiency provides the opportunity for toxic metals to attach themselves to vacant binding sites. A healthy mineral base is a prerequisite for all metal detox attempts (selenium, zinc, manganese, germanium, molybdenum etc.). Substituting minerals can detoxify the body by itself. Just as important are electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium), which help to transport toxic waste across the extra-cellular space towards the lymphatic and venous vessels.

 

Lipids (made from fatty acids) make up 60–80% of the central nervous system and need to be constantly replenished. Deficiency makes the nervous system vulnerable to the fat soluble metals, such as metallic mercury constantly escaping as odourless and invisible vapour evaporating from the amalgam fillings.

 

Without enough fluid intake the kidneys may become contaminated with metals. The basal membranes swell up and the kidneys can no longer efficiently filtrate toxins. Adding a balanced electrolyte solution in small amounts to water helps to restore intra-and extra-cellular fluid balance

 

 

If you take Vitamin C during your detox program, take it as far away from Chlorella as possible (best after meals).

Side effects: most side effects reflect the toxic effect of the mobilised metals, which are shuttled through the organism. This problem is instantly avoided by significantly increasing the chlorella dosage, not by reducing it, which would worsen the problem (small chlorella doses mobilise more metals than are bound in the gut, large chlorella doses bind more toxins than are mobilised). Some people have problems digesting the cell membrane of chlorella. The enzyme cellulase resolves this problem.

Cellulase is available in many health food stores in digestive enzyme products. Taking chlorella together with food also helps in some cases, even though it is less effective that way. C. Vulgaris has a thinner cell wall and is better tolerated by people with digestive problems. Some manufactures have created cell wall free chlorella extracts (NDF, PCA), which are very expensive, less effective — but easily absorbed.

 

 

Fish oil-the fatty acid complexes EPA and DHA in fish oil make the red and white blood cells more flexible thus improving the microcirculation of the brain, heart and other tissues. 

All detoxification functions depend on optimal oxygen delivery and blood flow. EPA and DHA protect the brain from viral infections and are needed for the development of intelligence and eyesight. The most vital cell organelle for detoxification is the peroxisome. These small structures are also responsible for the specific job each cell has.

In the pineal gland the melatonin is produced in the peroxisome, in the neurones dopamine and norepinephrine, etc. It is here, where mercury and other toxic metal attach and disable the cell from doing its work. Other researchers have focused on the mitochondria and other cellorganelles, which in our experience are damaged much later.

The cell is constantly trying to make new peroxisomes to replace the damaged ones. For that task it needs an abundance of fatty acids, especially EPA and DHA. Until recently it was believed, that the body could manufacture its own EPA/DHA from other Omega 3 fatty acids such as fish oil. Today we know, that this process is slow and cannot keep up with the enormous demand for EPA/DHA our systems have in today's toxic environment.

Fish oil is now considered an essential nutrient, even for vegetarians. Recent research also revealed, that the transformation humans underwent when apes became intelligent and turned into humans happened only in coastal regions, where the apes started to consume large amounts of fish. The fatty acids in fish oil are very sensitive to exposure to electromagnetic fields, temperature, light and various aspects of handling and processing. Trans fatty acids, long chain fatty acids, renegade fats and other oxidation products and contaminants are frequently found in most commercial products. Ideally, fish oil should be kept in an uninterrupted cooling chain until it ends up in the patient's fridge. The fish-source should be mercury and contaminant free, which is becoming harder and harder.

Fish oil should taste slightly fishy but not too much. If there is no fish taste, too much processing and manipulation has destroyed the vitality of the oil. If it tastes too fishy, oxidation products are present. I recommend you use the product recommended below (grade I), where meticulous care has been taken to comply with all the necessary parameters. The clinical results are outstanding.

Dosage: 1 capsule Omega 3 taken 4 times/day during the active phase of treatment, 1 cap. twice/day for maintenance. Best if taken together with chlorella

The VegiPearls contain half the amount of EPA/DHA. The vegetarian capsules eliminate even the most remote possibility of containing prions and make the idea of taking fish oil more easily acceptable for vegetarians. Recently a fatty acid receptor has been discovered on the tongue, joining the other more known taste receptors. If the capsules are chewed, the stomach and pancreas start to prepare the digestive tract in exactly the right way to prepare for maximum absorption. Children love chewing the VegiPearls.

To treat bipolar depression, postpartum depression and other forms of mental disease, 2000 mg of EPA are needed/day (David Horrobin). For the modulation of malignancies, 120 mg of EPA 4 times/day are needed. The calculations can easily be done with the information given on the label.

 

Balanced Electrolyte Solution

The autonomic nervous system in most toxic patients is dysfunctional. Electric messages in the organism are not received, are misunderstood or misinterpreted. Toxins cannot be shuttled through the extra-cellular space. Increased intake of natural ocean salt (Celtic sea salt) — and avoidance of regular table salt — has been found to be very effective in resolving some of these problems. Most effective is a solution pioneered by the American chemist Ketkovsky. He created the formula for the most effective electrolyte replacement, which was further improved by Morin Labs, and is now called "selectrolyte".5% of the population is sodium or chloride sensitive — the blood pressure goes up (easily reversible). In these patients the detox process takes longer and is more difficult.

Dosage: 1 tsp in a cup of good water 1–3 times/day. During times of greater stress the dosage can be temporarily increased to 1 tbsp 3 times/day.

More aggressive approaches, such as I.V. Glutathione, Vitamin C, DMPS, Na2EDTA and others have a place in reasonably healthy people but often worsen the condition in patients with advanced illness. Most valuable is the addition of psychotherapeutic interventions such as applied psychoneurobiology (APN) and mental field therapy (MFT) to trigger the release of toxins from their hiding places.

                                                   

Autism

CGF this is a heat extract from chlorella that concentrates certain peptides, proteins and other ingredients. The research on CGF shows that children develop no tooth decay and their dentition (maxillary-facial development) is near perfect. There are less illnesses and children grow earlier to a larger size with higher I.Q and are socially more skilled. There are case reports of patients with dramatic tumor remissions after taking CGF in higher amounts. In our experience, CGF makes the detox experience for the patient much easier, shorter and more effective.

Recommended dosage: 1 cap. CGF for each 20 tab. chlorella

Some practitioners suggest chelation therapy as a treatment option for autism. This is linked with suggestions that thimerosal in childhood vaccinations was causing autism due to mercury toxicity. Thimerosal is a preservative containing mercury present in certain childhood vaccination.
