The Silent Threat: Subclinical Toxic Metal Exposure. Article for Medicardium - the EDTA chelation therapy without the needles

Back to Opening Medicardium Page Find Your Cancer / Heart Disease Risk Factor Aging & Chelation Chelatox: Same Formula - Lower Price The Silent Threat: Subclinical Toxic Metal Exposure 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. Medicardium (10 suppositories) -- $ 99.95 [ Order ]
he increased environmental presence of various toxic heavy metals is the by-product of living in an industrialized society. But preventative measures can be taken - chiefly, the use of chelating agents. 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 and increased exposure, in turn, accelerates aging ... Find your page at the bottom of each graph below. The purple 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 (grams) 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.
