Introduction

• The Purpose of the discussion is to show how
  Chelation Therapy can help people of all ages
  achieve improved health by eliminating
  environmental heavy metals from the body
• This treatment is used for reversing heart
  disease without drugs or surgery.
• It should be the function of medicine to help
  people die young as late in life as possible
  Ernst Wynder
• This treatment is available in Ireland
• Over one million people have been Chelated
• Also will demonstrate how life style factors,
  nutrients and foods will help harness the power
  for optimal health
• Show the connection between inflammation and
  disease .

Heavy Metals - Environmental Toxicities

• What are they ?
• Where do they come from ?
• What effect have they on our bodies ?
• How are we protected against these heavy
  metals/free radicals ?
• How are they removed ?
• How do they impact on our health when they are
  removed ?

6
Heavy Metals what are they and where do they
come from?

• Lead petrol, paint, batteries, certain water
  mains
• Mercury fillings in teeth, fish, paint,
  numerous appliances such as mercury thermometers,
  nasal sprays and eye drops, certain vaccines.
• Cadmium Cigarettes, tyres, metal platings
• Arsenic Pesticides, chicken feeds, rice,
  treated wood

7
Heavy Metals what are they and where do they
come from?

• Aluminum Cooking wares, aluminum foil,
  antacids, certain vaccines, canned drinks/foods
• Antimony Carpets, flame retardant clothes
• Iron
• Copper

8
Heavy Metals what effect do they have on our
bodies?

• Oxidation - forms free radicals which result in
  cell damage
• This sets up the inflammatory response, a
  protective mechanism, but when left unchecked
  leads to the chronic diseases
• Symptoms
• Circulatory problems arteriosclerosis
  (hardening of arteries)
• Poor skin texture
• Failing eyesight
• Diminishing hearing
• Failing memory
• Tiredness

9
Heavy Metals what effect do they have on our
bodies?

• Severe Symptoms
• Chest Pains (angina) and Heart Disease
• Intermittent Claudication and Leg Circulation
  Problems
• Stroke
• Gangrene
• Chronic Fatigue (ME)/fibromyalgia and pain
• Arthritic Diseases
• Neuro-degenerative diseases/ neurological
  disorders
• Osteoporosis
• Impotence
• Irritable bowel syndrome and other digestive
  complaints

10
Heavy Metals how are we protected against
these free radicals?

• Nutrition/Antioxidants in food and metabolised in
  the body
• Vitamins A, B Complex, C, E, B12 , B6, Folic
  Acid, Niacin
• Essential Fatty Acids These are extremely
  important. I myself recommend nordic natural
  products as being the purest and most potent.
  They are a most powerful anti-inflammatory agent
• Co-Enzyme Q10
• Trace elements Magnesium, Selenium, Chromium,
  Zinc

11
Heavy Metals how are we protected against these
free radicals?

• Diet /nutrition let food be your medicine and
  let medicine be your food- Hippocrates
• Supplementation
• Skin release
• Good kidney eliminations
• Good bowel eliminations
• Exercise
• Healthy lifestyle

12
Where do we go from here ?

• The protection we receive from our natural
  defenses fails to protect us over time against
  free radical damage, resulting in cell
  degeneration and the process we call ageing
• The only solution once this process occurs is IV
  EDTA CHELATION
• Prevention is better than cure
• The only way this process can be reversed is IV
  EDTA CHELATION

13
I.V EDTA Chelation Therapy (Intravenous
Ethylene-Diamine-Tetra-Acetic acid)

grow old because we degenerate- The Health
Revolution.
14
What is Chelation ?

• Chelation Greek word Chele which means to
  claw or to grasp
• Chelating agents, such as EDTA grasp the heavy
  metals and remove them via the kidneys
• Chelation therapy has far reaching benefits and
  is one of the best rejuvenating therapies
  available

15
EDTA Chelation Therapy - how is Chelation Therapy
Administered?

• Administration intravenously via a small vein
  in the hand
• It is a painless non-surgical procedure
• Following the protocol developed by the American
  College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM)
• The chemical EDTA along with Mg, Vit B complex,
  Vit C, folic acid, Vit B12, Vit B6, glutathione
  and other additives are given in a series of IV
  treatments under close medical supervision and
  control.
• Chelating agent is EDTA the additional agents
  assist via their anti-oxidant properties

16
EDTA Chelation Therapy how is Chelation Therapy
Administered

• EDTA picks up the metals from the body's tissues
• EDTA along with the metals is excreted through
  the kidneys.
• Results in the restoration of cells and enzymatic
  systems to a younger and healthier state
• EDTA is cleared from the body in  24 hours
• Each treatment takes 3 hours and is given
  when the patient is seated in a comfortable chair
  while they read, sleep or chat to their
  neighbours. It  is recommended that treatments be
  at least 24 hours apart.

17
Other gains in utilising EDTA?

• Protects and helps reverse free radical damage -
  plaque formation and hardening of arteries
• Powerful anti-oxidant prevents oxidation of
  LDLs
• Calcium removal enhances blood flow -
  promoting deposition in bone preventing
  osteoporosis
• In effect it enhances blood flow from head to
  toe
• Improves both hormone, and enzyme efficiency as
  well as prostaglandin formation

18
Other Factors

• Quit smoking
• Nutrition/Diet OUT sugar, processed foods,
  hydrogenated/partially hydrogenated fats.
• Nutrition/Diet IN fresh fruits, vegetables,
  wholegrain, fish and water
• Stress reduction
• Appropriate exercise program
• Balanced vitamin and mineral supplementation

19
Iron and Copper Friend and Foe

• Iron
• Iron essential for hemoglobin formation
• Excess Iron
• When oxidised becomes a potent free radical
• Copper
• Essential in small doses
• Excess Copper
• When oxidised becomes a free radical

Role of Inflammation in cardio-vascular disease
Peter Libby M.D

• As recently as 5 years ago most physicians would
  have confidently described atherosclerosis as a
  straight plumbing problem, few believe this tidy
  explanation today
• Inflammation plays a key role, 85 of heart
  attacks occur not as a result of the extent of
  blockage but the condition of the plaque
• The new view clarifies why therapies that focus
  on widening the blood passage in semi-occluded
  arteries (balloon angioplasty or insertion of
  stents) or on surgically creating a by-pass can
  ease angina yet frequently fail to prevent a
  future heart attack. In such cases the danger
  lurks elsewhere when a plaque causes less
  narrowing but is more prone to rupturing. Sadly
  even when stenosis is the problem, treated
  arteries come reoccluded fairly rapidly
  apparently in part because the treatment can
  illicit a robust inflammatory response

21
Treatment recommendations

• Schedules are flexible
• Preventative or Aesthetic reasons
• 10 to15 treatments sufficient
• Serious diseases
• 30 treatments or more may be necessary
• Booster doses

22
EDTA Chelation Therapy does this treatment
have side effects?

• Reaction to EDTA (or vitamins)  rarely occur and
  if so the effects are minimal
• Reactions can be avoided by giving smaller doses
  and building up to the desired level.
• Inflammation at the site of the IV may occur and
  is treated with compresses.
• Diabetics and patients suffering from heart
  failure and kidney disease are carefully
  monitored and dosages may be adjusted according
  to their condition.

23
EDTA Chelation Therapy is Chelation Therapy
Safe?

• Following the protocol of the A.C.A.M. (American
  College for Advancement in Medicine) EDTA
  chelation is safer than taking a simple aspirin.
• Over one million patients worldwide have been
  chelated, with no reported deaths or serious
  consequences in the last thirty years.
• The A.C.A.M protocol should be strictly adhered
  to at all times.

24
EDTA Chelation Therapy can I drop in for a
quick chelation?

• No. Chelation will not be given without up to
  date
• Laboratory tests
• Medical history
• Clinical examination consisting of appropriate
  blood tests, ECG, Doppler ultrasound studies,
  chest x-ray which comply with the protocol.
• If complete copies of records and investigations
  from another physician are available and of
  acceptable quality and recent, the initial
  investigation may be abbreviated.

25
What should one do if seeking chelation therapy?

• Make appointment with chelating physician
  preferably an accredited member of A.C.A.M.

26
What other Chelating agents are there?

• ? DMSA (DiMercaptoSuccinic Acid)
• ? DMPS (DiMercaptoPropanesulfonic Acid)
• ? TTFD (Transdermal Allithiamine)

27
DMSA (Dimercaptosuccinic acid)

• ? DMSA is an oral chelator effective in the
  removal of mercury
• DMSA is prescribed according to a well
  established protocol
• Dosage is 10mg/kg body weight/3times daily for
  three days on and 11 days off.
• ? Full blood count (FBC) and blood chemistry
  tests are repeated at four month intervals.
• Mobilization and excretion of the heavy metals
  produces a shift in the equilibrium between the
  various compartments of the body. This exerts an
  almost magnetic effect on metals in depots which
  are not directly accessible to the chelating
  agent. The body attempts to restore this
  equilibrium, hence the heavy metals will then
  migrate partially into compartments where it is
  accessible to the chelating agent.

28
The use of Chelation in Autism

• EDTA is ineffective orally and via suppository
• EDTA is not used in Autism
• The oral chelator of choice is DMSA
  (Dimercaptosuccinic Acid)
• Particularly effective in chelating mercury
• Protocol for the treatment of Autism is the DAN
  protocol.

29
Protocol for specific mercury detoxification

• Protocol for removal of mercury fillings
• Removal of mercury filling-dental procedure
• I. V. Vitamin therapy
• Removal of mercury from the tissues via the oral
  chelating agent DMSA

30
Other Heavy Metal Detox Options

• ? Glutathione
• ? Alpha Lipoic Acid
• ? N-Acteyl Cysteine
• ? TTFD-Allithiamine
• ? Transdermal DMPS 1.5mg/kg every other day
• ? Transdermal DMSA 10mg/kg three times a day days
  on and 11 days off.
