Heavy Metal and Chemical Detoxification
According to Walter Crinnion ND.,
numerous studies have documented the fact that heavy metals and unwanted
industrial compounds are found in close to 100 percent of the population
of the US.
Walter J.Crinnion ND., further states that today much attention has been
given to the health problems caused by mercury, lead, and arsenic poisoning.
Many practitioners and laymen have been looking for safe and effective means
to properly treat heavy metal overload and arsenic poisoning.
Heavy metal accumulation can be linked too:
1. Increase free radical activity and oxidation processes.
2. Can be linked to premature aging and aging diseases such as Alzheimer.
3. Can be linked to depression or deregulation of the immune system
4. Can be linked to gastro-intestinal disturbances.
5. Can be linked to an increase cancer mortality (Blumer,W.,& Carnteon, E.)
6. Can be linked to learning disorders and neurodegenerative diseases like autism, ADD and in more serious cases ALS and MS.
7. Can be linked to the increase risk of cardio myopathy (Frustachi.et, al.)
8. Can be linked to mood disorders, Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia.
9. Has been documented that newborns show 70 percent higher
levels of mercury in their system, contributing to learning disabilities,
sluggishness and lower intelligence.
There have been countless efforts to deal with this serious problem which
is constantly on the increase. Many efforts of treatments have lead to complications
aside from being very costly and time consuming.
After several years of research into this problem, Carl
Jelstrup, D.C.,has come to the conclusion that the use of vitamin C and EDTA
in an essential phospholipid compound
appears to be one of the most effective, least expensive and time saving
way to get rid of toxic sludge in our body.
Those who have the extra time and inclination can combine this system of
detoxification with far infar red sauna therapy.*
1. The best EDTA (Ethylene diamine tetracetic acid) phospholipid chelater,
to our knowledge is a suppository Detoxamin
2. The liquid vitamin C combined with phospholipid is called Ultra Absorbic C.
3. BC Beyond Chelation is the lipid multivit-min EDTA pack
that can be used as a supplement to the program or later on as a follow up.
Depending on the individual case of toxicity – detoxification can take
any where from 6 months to a year, in some cases even longer. The process
we are recommending we have found to be painless, harmless and with almost
no side effects. It has been known though for some people to feel a little
grouchy and tired in first 24 hours after taking the liquid detox.
For the specific advice of how to use these products always
consult your Licensed Health Practitioner.
For those who want to test heavy metal toxicity contact Physicians who specialize
in lab urinary test or discuss with our office. In general we do not always
find this necessary since we know we are constantly being assaulted with
metals and chemicals in our environment that need to be constantly eliminated
from the body if we want to remain healthy.
After the intensive phase of the detoxification you may want to continue
for a longer time on a reduced amount of these two products - i.e. two times
a month rather then weekly.
An alternative system for the Detoxification
of the Toxic Metals .
Is the Far Infra-red Sauna.With this therapy
one must still include the chlorella and the minerals.
Far Infra-red Sauna Therapy:
Far Infra-red Sauna Therapy has become vogue in the last 10 years. Based
on the knowledge that our skin as an organ is responsible for up to 50% of
body waste elimination, sauna has become a popular means for detoxification.
You can now buy a complete portable sauna unit for approximately $1,800.
Far Infra-red Sauna Therapy can also be an on going detoxification method
for you and your family. One lady in Colorado had a serious mercury toxicity
as a consequence of amalgam dental fillings. She had multiple neurological
symptoms and was in general ill health. She was advised by her doctor to
have weekly chelation sessions lasting 2 1/2 hours biweekly costing $150
per session. Since she could not afford such a treatment she bought a Far
Infra-red Sauna. She did saunas every day for four months which at that time
showed no sign of mercury toxicity in her system.
When purchasing Far Infra-red Sauna you do not want to use cedar wood as
this wood can be toxic to some people. Units that are made out of poplar
hardwood are the best.
The best deal today we feel is a Far-Infrared Sauna unit produced in South
Korea . The Far-Infrared Dome emits photons which help to release enzymes.
These enzymes stimulate macrophage activity, increasing the elimination of
damaged and dis-eased cells and tissues. Nitric Oxide is then released into
the blood to expand capillaries and increase circulation. This promotes the
killing of disease causing bacteria, viruses, fungus and parasites, as well
as increasing the growth of good cells, DNA synthesis and protein synthesis.
This entire process is necessary for tissue repair. Far- Infrared Sauna brings
about a significant detoxification of heavy metals including mercury. It
helps in removing fat-stored toxins such as mercury and other environmental
pollutants
This new form for Far Infra-red Sauna combines the best features of the Far
Infra-red energy with the advantages of lying down (in the sauna) which provides
greater ease of circulation and a more relaxed comfortable session. There
is also a carbon fill element which lines the whole interior. Carbon is the
most dominate element of the physical body. This wall to wall heat emission
provides an even and complete exposure unlike other saunas which use heaters
that are located only in a few spots. It is lightweight and portable weighing
in at 45 pounds. The upper and lower domes come apart making portability
easy. When not in use it can be easily stored in a home or office, as the
storage dimensions are 3 feet by 2.5 feet. The price is $1800.00. Email Echolight

Sauna Detox Protocol
1. Light cardio- vascular exercise as can be tolerated prior
to sauna. This will improve detoxification.
2. Start slow – do not rush this process
You need to build your acclamation to the program slowly
so as not to stress your system. As in any exercise programs you slowly increase
your cardiovascular programs over a period of time.
Always before you start any program please discuss it with your licensed
health care provider so they can teach you how to monitor yourself by watching
your pulse and other signs of over activity of your systems.
Use of the Sauna
Start with 5-10 minutes per day for the first week.
The second week 20 minutes per day
Then add 5 minutes per day for each week thereafter up to ¾ of an hour/session. If you feel over heated go out and cool down in the shower and then resume your time in the sauna until you have finished your goal for the day.
DRINK PLENTY OF ELECTROLYES such as pedilytes
from the pharmacy, Electrolytes from Trader Joe's or Gatorade (as your last
choice).
Temperature settings for the Sauna
110 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
This is far lower then traditional saunas because of the radiant heat phenomena and thus is better tolerated. You actually sweat 2-3 times greater with radiant heat.
*If you sweat minimally or not at all it, may take some time before you sweat profusely so be patient and watch out for the signs of heat exhaustion.
PRECAUTIONS:
Faintness
Rapid Pulse
Weakness
Nauseated
If your skin becomes hot and dry and you stop sweating
STOP
1. Cool off and get into a lukewarm shower and gradually cool down
the shower.
2. Push fluids and electrolytes at this time
3. Take some sea salt ¼ to ½ teaspoon in water
to replenish your loss of minerals
Check weight – pulse and blood pressure if so incline for proper monitoring
of your reaction to the heat.
Your pulse may beat more rapidly at first as you experience
a training effect until you become more heat acclimated.
There is at least 1/3rd of the population especially women and the elderly
that are heat intolerant who do not sweat regardless of activity. If this
is the case, be patient as the toxic material can contribute to this situation. Always
contact your personal physician before you start this protocol.
Always contact your personal physician before you start this protocol.

General comments:
It has long been assumed that the heavy metals detoxification is going
via the kidneys and the urinary tract and end up in the urine system. We
are now finding that the significant amount of the detox if occurring in
the gi tract as the bile being a contributory factor. For that reason it
is paramount that before you start detox you have a good bowel action.
You work on having a good bowel action. Preferably your bowel movement should be twice a dayon an average. If you have difficulty with good bowel action you should combine the detoxification with the use of colonic with an experienced colon therapist.
It is also important to remember that during this process you have ample liquid intake
One to one and ½ quart per day sipped throughout the day.
