Treatment for Mercury Poisoning
, 01 08th, 2010
While we have all heard cautionary tales about the ill-effects of heavy metal exposure—particularly mercury poisoning—few people know what the actual risks are. High exposure to mercury can cause damage to the central nervous system, as well as other organs such as the liver and intestinal tract. One of the reasons that mercury is so dangerous is that your body stores it up over time, which can magnify the health risks.
There is a way to treat excessive exposure to mercury and heavy metals: chelation therapy. In the US, DMSA is the most commonly used compound in this process. That acronym stands from dimercaptosuccinic acid, which is a organosulfur compound that latches onto the heavy metal molecules and works to remove them from the body.
The Science behind Clathration Therapy
, 10 05th, 2009
Before we begin to discuss clathration therapy and its many positive benefits, it’s important to have an understanding of the chelation process. When chelating agents are introduced into the body, they bond with pre-existing toxic materials that have been collected over time. The chelating agent will encapsulate the toxins during that bonding process, and the body’s natural excretory processes – defecation, urination, the loss of dead skin, and breathing – take care of the rest.
Chelating agents are commonly used to treat arterial plaque, which can build up and cause serious cardiovascular problems. In some cases chelation has been used to pull heavy metals such as mercury out of the system as well. Unfortunately, chelation is not without its drawbacks. After the bond is created with the toxic substance, there’s still nothing preventing it from attaching to other cells on the way out of the body.
Clathration therapy offers a solution to the disadvantages of chelation, as it neutralizes toxins and keeps them from harming other cells and tissues as they are leaving the body. PCA-Rx is one clathration agent that works to remove mercury and other heavy metals and toxins that would do severe damage to the system. Whether they are picked up through the natural environment or from childhood vaccines, these dangerous substances have got to go.
Mercury Poisoning: What Can Be Done
, 08 25th, 2009
In the last few weeks, we’ve dwelled on headlines that allude to the possibility of mercury-based preservatives in vaccines including that of the H1N1 virus, commonly known as swine flu. Today, let’s shift gears and investigate a potential solution for families that are already struggling with the scourge of autism as caused by mercury poisoning. Even if you’re feeling down, remember that there’s always hope.
Chelation therapy is one of the most popular forms of heavy-metal detox, and, along with the similar clathration therapy, has been proven an effective treatment of mercury-poisoning-related conditions. It’s important to note that in most cases the human body is capable of flushing mercury from the system in short order – but that’s not true of the heavy metal that reaches the brain. Once lodged inside the brain, mercury stays for years at a time unless it’s forced out through detoxification methods. With chelation therapy, you can wage a war against contaminants at the molecular level by dispatching chelating agents that counteract and remove mercury from the system.
Potential Benefits of Chelation
, 03 04th, 2009
Chelation is a process through which metallic catalysts are removed from the bloodstream. Chelation therapy is most often used to treat atherosclerosis and certain other degenerative diseases which affect the circulatory system. In addition, chelation therapy has also been used to treat autism through removing dangerous metallic toxins, like mercury, from the body. Chelation also provides several more simple benefits, including removing plaque from the artery walls, smoothening artery walls, and initiating the body’s natural healing processes.
Patients of chelation therapy have not been able to walk prior to the therapy due to muscle pain, and then can walk following treatment. This is because chelation improves blood flow to the artery muscles, and allows people to perform everyday activities that would have otherwise been difficult.
Chelating Agents in Heavy Metal Detoxification
, 02 18th, 2009
Chelating agents were introduced into medicine in World War 1 when the first compound was used as an antidote to the arsenic-based poison gas, Lewisite. Since then, chelating agents and chelation therapy have become much more common in practical medicine. Chelation has been used to treat a number of serious conditions with intermittent successes. Conditions like autism, atherosclerosis, and mercury poisoning are often treated with chelation therapy, and success has been reported in some of the treatments.
When it comes to treating serious conditions, you want to do all that you can to achieve the best results. While chelation isn’t guaranteed to work, it is safe, effective, and relatively inexpensive, and if it does work the patient will obviously be much happier than they would have with invasive surgery.
Government Puts Money into Chelation
, 07 10th, 2008
Government researchers are pushing to have an official federal study on chelation therapy. Chelation removes heavy metals from the body which may have been caused by vaccines.
The push for finding the positive effects of chelation is brought on by parents of autistic children who feel that the government isn’t doing enough. This is also coming as several legislative sessions have ended with some states allowing insurance companies to deny coverage for autistic childre
What is Chelation Therapy?
, 06 02nd, 2008
Chelation therapy is the administration of chelating agents to remove heavy metals from the body.
Based on the speculation that heavy metal poisoning may trigger the symptoms of autism, some parents have turned to alternative medicine practitioners who provide chelation therapy. As there are several cases that link the mercury in the vaccine preservative thiomersal causes autism or its symptoms, chelation therapy is a viable treatment for autism.
Autism Treatment
, 02 14th, 2008
Autism is a perplexing disorder for which there is no standard and consistently-accepted treatment. Many autistic children are treated with traditionally-used chelation substances (like DMSA and DMPS) to counteract the abnormal effects of the disorder when heavy metal toxicity is suspected as a cause. However, PCA-Rx’s clathrating qualities have been found to work as well or even better against symptoms of autism in kids, without the side effects. PCA-Rx has also shown to be effective against symptoms of other EIs – such as angina, Crohn’s disease, Epstein-Barr virus, fibromyalgia and Parkinson’s disease, to name a few – also thought to be caused by toxic exposure.
It is thought that childhood autism could be triggered by vaccinations that young kids receive for measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) and, to a lesser degree, diphtheria (DPT). Specifically, it is thought that the measles component of the MMR vaccination and the pertussis (whooping cough) component of the DPT shot may be to blame. Most autistic children are normal and functioning well up until the time they receive their MMR and DPT vaccinations, which have been found to leave autism-triggering toxic residues in the body. PCA-Rx has proven to be a safe and effective weapon for finding and removing – through clathration – some of these harmful residues from the bodies of young autism sufferers. PCA-Rx’s additional ability to not remove any of the body’s natural minerals also results in an absence of the physiologically-stressful side effects common to other chelating drugs.
It Improved My Daughter
, 02 12th, 2008We used this Heavy Metal Detox product, PCA-Rx, and it helped Olivia right away. We started with just 2 sprays and built up to 4. Within a couple of days she said that she wanted to go to her own bed. She had been on our floor for over 6 months! Then she started to dress herself! This is at age five (diagnosed autistic at 2 1/2). I bought it at www.helpyourautisticchild.com. They seem to have the cheapest price.
