Re: Chelation for chronic candida
Yeah I think it's $22 but he and his doctors that train under his work give them out for free. I got mine for free.
Here's a break down:
Basically its a little over 2 hours and it first starts off with his view on health and how 3 top toxicities are a) metals b) organic pollutants c) yeast, bacteria, viruses, etc. And not always but #1, disables the body and sets up house for the other 2, and vice versa.
He then goes over the
Science of what a free radical is which is easily explained if youve taken bio or chem. It's basically an unstable atom due to a missing electron and it causes lipid peroxidation cause the cell's phospholipid bilayer membrane's head is hydrophilic/polar. This causes the cell membrane to literally "rust" or oxidize due to free radicals and this is the cause or start of disease. The disease that you get is based on genetic predisposition whether itd be cancer or arthritis, etc. Anyway he goes into metals being a heavy free radical.
Then sites studies and snapshots of medline and toxline's HUNDREDS of studies when you type in mercury+heart or mercury+brain, etc. and how medline only has like 30-40 studies but a smaller link/subsection of medline called toxline has HUNDREDS and its hidden from public view very well.
Also addresses how the top 3 most deadly molecules known to man happen to be metals, #1 being uranium and #2 being mercury.
It shows various clips including the smoking gas teeth video and what mercury does to a neuron's dendrites, etc.
Then he goes into chelation. I really like his style and hes never afraid to say "I dont know" or "I did not know why and I was extremely frustrated". And he goes into his journey about how he found nonexcretors and excretors of metals (some people who don't show any toxicity unless chelation happens for a while and then the number of metals coming out via challenge tests start to increase dramatically when it should technically be going down. But the person's symptoms are better. It shows increasing amounts of metals LEAVING, which is counter intuitive.)
Mentioned why DMPS over DMSA. He did address doctors who used DMPS and how it has gotten a bad rap before. And he said that he was shocked to hear some doctors using DMPS coming to him and asking why their patients are collapsing, fainting, having side effects, etc. and he was shocked to hear that because he has been working with DMPS IV for 20 years now including on his own son and never saw one case of that. He found that these doctors are giving 250mg of DMPS which is a really high dose. They also inject it intramuscularly or give a push IV and that causes damages because its too fast and the dose is too high. He uses a slow drip IV over an 8 hour period and lower doses, less frequency. And among other things.
DMSA's chemical structure is nearly identical to succinic acid. (DMSA is dimercaptosuccinic acid) and if anyone who has studied biology remembers respiration and the kreb cycle, this would make sense to you. Succinic acid is a huge part of that cycle and DMSA being very similar, the body has a tendency to use similar or nearly identical molecules if the original is lacking or if there is a presence. And using DMSA over succinic acid, is called competitive inhibition. It COMPETITIVELY binds to whatever enzyme that needs to bind to succinic acid to continue the kreb cycle to fumarate and malate. This can cause trouble in the cell's energy production. Not to mention DMSA is considered a neurotoxin in Europe.
ALA and glutathione as a chelator. Simply, the definition of a chelator is something you put in the body that comes out in the same amount pulling something with it. Glutathione is present in every cell and works on oxidation, etc. and for that reason it is not a chelator but a scavenger. Andy Cutler says the same thing. However ALA is also used in many cellular processes including making glutathione and detoxification so the amount going into the body certainly is not coming out regardless of a dithiol bond or not.
But i'm not here to debate and I'm not saying 1 is better than the other, I'm not making that judgement call. If it works for you, fine. That is what anything really is all about.
There were some patient testimonies and also case studies of people who did not show mercury via challenge test but later did and thats how he find non-excretors. Addresses autistic treatment because these kids are non-excretors at the worst.
What you get from the presentation is how well verse and experienced he is in chelation. He's been doing it proactively for 20 years, and testified in front of the United States congress regarding the matter of autism and chelation and has been under fire from media and other doctors and for that reason, he has strict strict guidelines to his protocols. He's been taken to court and won and had people come to his office to videotape and try tofind out dirt on his practice so I assume someone who does chelation multiple times a day, everyday, on himself and his family members, someone who needs to keep up a good track record cause he's being watched like a hawk by pharma and government officials, is pretty experienced and well versed in chelation therapy. He also treated the poor cheerleader, Desiree who came down with a weird neurological condition after a vaccine and hundreds of people called her a phony and an attention whore which really, saddens my heart. Someone who has much criticism and opposition needs to be very careful in their protocol and I believe in his methods.
After my venture with
parasites and my last shot at figuring out what is wrong with my gut, I will have to consider this option of chelation.
If you're interestd, he recently did a 20/20 special im sure you can find somewhere online.
