A safe level of heavy metals in humans has never been established. Removal of these metals from the body is important because they can have widespread adverse effects on human health.
Mercury, for instance, is a potent selenium scavenger that binds avidly with this substance in the body, an action that can compromise the body’s ability to maintain an appropriate level of health.
Although desirable, the removal of toxic metals from tissues can be exhausting and debilitating, and the agents used to chelate and remove these metals have their own side effects. Before chelation is instituted, proper preparation is vital to minimize side effects and smooth out the detoxification procedure.
The detoxification process is comprised of the following: silver dental amalgam removal if needed; nutritional preparation which includes vitamin and mineral intravenous infusions in conjunction with oral supplementation; and the administration of an intravenous chelating agent. Before instituting the detoxification process, a chelation challenge test to assess the degree of heavy metal body burden with the necessary preparation is required.
Before chelation is initiated, “silver” dental amalgams should be removed, if necessary. Preferably, a dentist who is versed in this procedure should remove the amalgams.
Nutritional preparation includes a diet that is high in protein and low in carbohydrates along with a variety of specific nutritional supplements. Mercury contaminated foods, particularly fish must be avoided as much as possible.
The heavy metal challenge test involves an injection of a water-soluble chelator. Urine is then collected and analyzed to determine heavy metal levels.
Blood tests for kidney function, blood cell levels and liver enzymes are mandatory. Hair analysis for toxic and nutritional minerals needs to be done. In addition, other tests such as red blood cell levels of toxic and nutritional minerals may be necessary. Liver and gastrointestinal tract functions must be addressed and supported.
Intravenous administration of a chelating agent is given every three to four weeks for a program often to thirty treatments followed by a vitamin and mineral infusion. Urine and blood tests monitor kidney and liver functions. Infusions of the chelating agent are terminated when an acceptable level of urine heavy metals is reached.
Toxic metals detoxification can be lengthy and expensive. It requires determination and tenacity. However, over time health should improve and symptoms of fatigue, pain, memory loss and emotional instability should decrease.
Ozone sauna protocol
When you consider how many toxins you may encounter in your day-to-day life, through your food, household and beauty products, air and water pollution, and more, it would be wise to integrate a mobilization and elimination strategy using sauna protocols.
We use an ozone sauna protocol as it not only mobilizes and eliminates but it also infuses the body with ozone – an agent fighting fungi, viruses and bacteria while giving the body more oxygen to utilize. Ozone sauna treatments are so powerful that they are being used as vital co-treatments in cancer patients, Lyme patients and many autoimmune diseases. If you are moderately healthy your first sauna detoxification program should be set of 15-30 minutes sessions. It should be done as intensively as your body and life permits. To maintain the sauna should be used once or twice a week.
The protocols vary depending on which specific sauna is being used but the protocol should include niacin and other supplementation to replenish any loss of desirable nutrients. It can entail exercise for 20 minutes to break a sweat and to stimulate circulation. Then follow up with your sauna session. Like any other sauna detoxification, this program done intensively should be only embarked upon the consent of a physician familiar with the program.
