I've set 2 things aside that came from the ND, and even though I think he's a good practitioner, I've had to figure this out myself (I would encourage you to read the Cutler book, and read back posts here)

I set aside the zeolite spray

and the Liver Detox capsules that I figured out were what was causing a persistent headache--I hadn't read the label for the ingredients- and at the dosage he had me taking, I was getting 800 mg of ALA per day. The headache went away when I quit taking it.

ALA is in alot of products today, and you'll hear alot being said about it being the antioxidant everyone needs to take--but, according to Cutler, it stirs up mercury in the brain, and needs to be used in the way he lays out in his chelating protocol. I hadn't realized that the the NAC product I had taken for my liver also had it in it.

Eating anything with aluminum in it messes up my brain function.RB

Alzheimer's Disease, Dementia Causes, Symptoms, Risk Factors

Alzheimer's, progressive brain disorder in the areas of the brain that control behavior, memory and thinking skills. As Alzheimer's progresses the nerve cells degenerate and die in other parts of the brain. Those with Alzheimer's will gradually loose their ability to learn and reason, finding the right words to say, make good judgments, and being able to communicate and carry out daily activities. As the nervous system deteriorates there may be involuntary muscle reflexes.

As Alzheimer's progresses, individuals may also experience other changes in personality and behavior, such as anxiety and mood changes, suspiciousness, and have delusions or hallucinations ranging from arguments, agitation, depression, striking out, and violent behavior.

Currently there are more than 4 million people in the USA with Alzheimer's Disease.

Medical experts conclude that Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia and the causes of Alzheimer's is unknown in the minds of many.

Dementia is the general decline in all areas of mental abilities due to narrowed or blocked arteries in the brain that leads to the progressive decline in mental function. The brain shrinks and brain cells die from reduced blood flow to the brains nerve cells.

Dementia symptoms include anxiety, confused, depression, disorientation, emotional outbursts, embarrassing behavior, bad judgment, incoherent speech, irritability, memory loss, paranoid.

Dementia has developed in some people during kidney dialysis because of the amount of aluminum in the water used during treatment. But most everyone concludes that there is no evidence linking aluminum with Alzheimer's and Dementia. Looking at some of the symptoms of aluminum toxicity like nervousness, forgetfulness, speech disturbances, memory loss and the accumulation of aluminum salts in the brain has been implicated in seizures and reduced mental faculties. If the symptoms are about the same why wont anyone in the medical field admit that aluminum may be the causes of Alzheimer's and Dementia?

Prior theories regarding the causes like the accumulation of aluminum, lead, mercury, and other substances in the brain leading to Alzheimer's and Dementia are unbelievable to many in the medical field. They believe that twisted fragments of protein within nerve cells or abnormal clusters of dead and dying nerve cells, and protein clog up the cell. The destruction of nerve cells leads to the decrease in substances secreted by neurons that send messages to other neurons and this appears to disconnect areas of the brain that normally work together.

Only 4 parts per million of aluminum in human blood causes it to coagulate. This will slow down or completely shut off the flow of blood in smaller vessels. The brain cells will die without blood flow and oxygen.

Some toxic metals like aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury, and nickel are taken into our bodies through the air, food, and water. The toxins from these metals remain in our bodies for years and have been linked to Alzheimer's disease, aluminum toxicity or mercury poisoning.

Aluminum toxicity and its symptoms mimic those of Alzheimer's disease and osteoporosis. Colic, rickets, gastrointestinal problems, interference with the metabolism of calcium, extreme nervousness, anemia, headaches, decreased liver and kidney function, memory loss, speech problems, softening of the bones, and aching muscles.
Drugs, Foods, Products With Aluminum Risk Factors

Antacids contain aluminum hydroxide. Anti-diarrhea products may contain aluminum salts and aluminum magnesium silicate. Antiperspirants and deodorants contain aluminum chloride or chlorhydrate. Baking powers contain aluminum sulfate or sodium aluminum sulfate. Bleached flour contains potassium alum. Buffered aspirin contains aluminum hydroxide or aluminum glycinate.

Canned goods, cooking utensils, deodorants, douches may contain aluminum salts. Containers, aluminum coated waxed containers, used especially for orange and pineapple juices, cause juices inside to absorb aluminum. Beer and soft drinks that are stored in aluminum cans also absorb small quantities of aluminum.

Food additives in cake mixes, frozen dough, self-rising flour contains sodium aluminum phosphate. Food starch modifiers and anti caking agents also contain varying levels of aluminum compounds.

Processed and grated cheese contain sodium aluminum phosphate. Shampoos, anti-dandruff contain magnesium aluminum silicate. Other shampoos may contain aluminum lauryl sulfate. table salt contains aluminum calcium silicate. Tarter sauce, tobacco smoke may also have high levels.

Eye drops used for the treatment of glaucoma and increased pressure in the eye contain mono-basic and dibasic sodium phosphate and sodium hydroxide in buffered water solution. Aluminum hydroxide is used as the gelatinous flocking agent to filter out particulates in the water. Aluminum hydroxide is prepared at the treatment plant from aluminum sulfate by reaction with the sodium hydroxide.

One process of producing the sodium hydroxide is the mercury cell process where the sodium metal forms as an Amalgam at the mercury cathode and the sodium is then reacted with water to produce the sodium hydroxide. The sodium hydroxide goes by other names like Lye and Caustic Soda and also used in detergents, drinking water, food preparation in washing fruits vegetables, washing hominy, pepper, gelling of egg whites, pretzels, pulp and paper, textiles, toothpastes, soaps, tissue digestion or decomposing, and unblocking drains.

Food in aluminum cans, foils or containers may have trace amounts. Pancake mixes, and grains may contain aluminum. Pickling salts for pickles or maraschino cherries can contain aluminum ammonium sulfate and aluminum potassium sulfate.

Vaccines that contain aluminum hydroxide are used as an absorbing agent in many vaccines and hypo-sensitization preparations causes hypersensitivity reactions. Aluminum may also be used in allergy testing, intravenous solutions, allergens, wound and antacid irrigation, ulcer treatment, blood oxygenation, bone or joint replacement and burn treatment.

Municipal water supplies are treated with both aluminum sulfate and aluminum fluoride. The role of aluminum from toothpastes with sodium fluoride may be even just as important than the drinking water. Use baking soda for an alternative.

Most of these types of aluminum will be found in ground water and toxic to aquatic life: aluminum acetate, aluminum bicarbonate, aluminum caprylate, aluminum chloride, aluminum diacetate, aluminum hydroxide, aluminum oxide, aluminum sulfate, Poly-oxo aluminum stearate, and Sodium aluminum phosphate are found in pesticides and herbicides.

Aluminum has been exempted from testing for safety by the FDA under some convoluted logic wherein it is classified as GRAS. (Generally Regarded As Safe.) It has never been tested by the FDA on its safety and there are NO restrictions whatever on the amount or use of aluminum.

Mercury is the most toxic element among the risk factors that causes damage to our bodies. It is found in shellfish and some fish. It is used in dental Amalgam fillings, bactericides, fungicides, paint, thermometers and vaccines. Mercury can cause changes in the lymphoid tissue; it effects the immune system, nervous system, kidneys, and it produces resistance to Antibiotics . Mercury is extremely toxic and poisonous to our bodies. Symptoms of mercury toxicity include fatigue, indigestion, muscle and joint weakness, nervousness, depression, or weight loss. Mercury poisoning has been linked to Alzheimer's, Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson's Disease.
Alzheimers, Dementia, Aluminum Toxicity, and Mercury Treatment

The first step in the treatment of Alzheimer's or Dementia is to check the product labels for any of these ingredients shown and avoid those that contain aluminum. The ingredients in pharmaceutical may be listed under other names like thimerosal as mercury, and formalin as formaldehyde. If the product insert or label shows the ingredients look each one up on the internet before using.

Eat fresh fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants, chlorophyll, and foods that help promote oxygen to the blood. Avoid alcohol, copper, high gluten, pharmaceutical vitamins, processed foods and tap water. Drink bottled or distilled water and avoid those foods that cause allergies and eat by your blood type. All vitamins and minerals are essential, especially A-B complex, C, D, E, folic acid, calcium, germanium, kelp, manganese, potassium, selenium, zinc and vanadium. The other essentials are amino acids, enzymes, fatty acids, friendly bacteria, CoQ10, chlorophyll, and lecithin.

Herbs like butchers broom, ginkgo biloba, Huperzine-A (moss extract) may also be beneficial.

Aluminum Toxicity; Multi vitamin and mineral complex especially calcium, magnesium, B complex, garlic tablets, lecithin, and kelp.

Mercury supplements like selenium, Vitamins A-B complex, B6, B1, C, E, and K. Amino acids (cysteine, glutathione and methionine) are essential. Other aids are lecithin, beta-carotene, brewer's yeast, alfalfa, milk thistle and hyclohloric acid.

Foods that help remove toxic metals are alfalfa, apples, barley grass, garlic, kelp, miso, mung beans (lead), pectin, Sea Vitamins Minerals, seaweed and wheat grass. Drinking lots of fresh ozonated water is also beneficial for the removal of toxic metals.
Other Alternative Treatment

Ozone can oxidize most all metals in the right concentration except for gold, iridium, platinum and stainless. It oxidizes them in their highest oxidation states, oxides to oxides of higher oxidation number or to peroxides, sulfides to sulfates, carbon to carbon dioxide, and ammonia to ammonium nitrate. Heavy metals that can be oxidized include cadmium, cerium, lead, mercury, nickel and silver.

Medical Ozone Detoxification Therapy

Undernourished individuals are less likely to detoxify and eliminate the various toxins in the intestines and the rest of their bodies without the proper nutrition. Many of the toxins the liver deals with originate in the gastrointestinal tract. Our bodies ability to rid itself of these toxins is dependent upon proper function of the liver and enzymes for excreting the toxins.

The detoxification and healing process improves by taking the right balance of nutrients. For some, it may be necessary to take higher than the Recommended Daily Allowance. Vitamins, even in large doses are safe; especially when they are derived from organic plant life in the liquid type. If you are currently and continue taking the synthetic supplements, you will not show any improvement because they are toxic and this will hinder your efforts for feeling better.

Your daily vitamins and minerals supplement should be 100 percent pure and natural of high quality and perfectly balanced with all of what nature provides. It should be completely digestible in order to receive all the benefits. If its not absorbable and utilized at the cellular level, its useless.
