Medical Advice

EDTA chelation IV therapy: Must be administered in a medical office under the direction of a doctor who has been trained in EDTA IV chelation therapy.

Super Antioxidant: Toxic Metals are potent free radicals, causing damage wherever they settle. Antioxidants are necessary. What is a Free Radical? A Free Radical is an unstable oxygen molecule that possesses an unpaired electron. This molecule is constantly trying to become whole by robbing cells of vital components. These biochemical compounds called Free Radicals damage our body and its cells. Both external pollutants and biochemical process of the body cause excess Free Radical reactions; Environmental pollutants, numerous food additives, and stress are only a few of the many ways Free Radicals are formed. The way in which Free Radicals are normally kept in check is by the action of Free Radical Scavengers that occur naturally in the body. These scavengers neutralize the Free Radicals. It’s important to assist our body by additionally supplementing daily with Antioxidants. Supplementation with only a few antioxidants though, gives us much less protection, than utilizing a complete array of antioxidants. This is due to the fact that the antioxidant defense system works as a team. If members of the team are missing, the outcome is poor. Maximum protection requires the complete array of established antioxidants in nutritionally meaningful amounts. Super Antioxidant was formulated with this understanding.

Co-Q-10: Toxic Metals are potent free radicals, causing damage wherever they settle. Antioxidants are necessary. Coenzyme Q-10 is a naturally occurring substance found within our food and is synthesized by each and every cell of our body. It is a vitamin-like substance that resembles Vitamin E, but is an even more powerful Antioxidant. It is the only antioxidant found in human tissue. Coenzyme Q-10 declines with age and should be supplemented in the diet. The New England Journal of Medicine reports that Coenzyme Q-10 alone is effective in reducing mortality. Its functions include: 1. Antioxidant ability - By scavenging free radicals this compound stops damage to cell membranes that may occur from excess free radicals 2. Energy function - Coenzyme Q-10 is vitally important in the formation of ATP by the cells of the body. ATP is the molecule responsible for energy stores within the body. All cell functions are dependent on adequate cellular levels of ATP. Adequate levels of ATP must be maintained or the body suffers from severe energy loss and poor organ function. The supplemental use of Coenzyme Q-10 has been well researched in cardiovascular disease. There are numerous double blind studies that show its benefits in congestive heart failure and cardiomyopathy (poor pumping of the heart). Co-Enzyme Q-10 appears to increase the heart’s ability to tolerate lower levels of oxygen and has shown benefits in individuals with angina (chest pains from decreased blood flow to the heart). It also benefits allergies, asthma, and respiratory disease, and is used to assist the brain for abnormalities of mental function such as those with Alzheimer’s.

Vitamin E Plus: Toxic Metals are potent free radicals, causing damage wherever they settle. Antioxidants are necessary. Vitamin E plus includes ALL the naturally occurring forms of Vitamin E, not just the alpha tocopherol form as found in most available brands of Vitamin E. This health fact is extremely important, as the ingredients within Vitamin E Plus have been shown effective in suppressing free radicals that are not controlled by the use of only alpha tocopherol alone. Studies have shown these mixed tocopherols have enhanced immune system benefits, improved antioxidant properties, and improved cardiovascular benefits above and beyond common forms of Vitamin E.

Ester-C® with Bioflavanoids: Toxic Metals are potent free radicals, causing damage wherever they settle. Antioxidants are necessary. Vitamin C performs many vital functions within the body. It increases the strength and integrity of connective tissue, supports the immune system, fights viruses and some bacteria, functions as an important antioxidant and enhances adrenal gland function. Power Health’s Ester-C polyascorbate is a breakthrough in Vitamin C. This esterified form of Vitamin C has been shown to increase white blood cell ascorbate levels four times more than usual forms of Vitamin C. Power Health’s Ester-C also provides bioflavanoids to enhance Vitamin C bioavailablity while assisting in maintaining capillary and vein health.

Mercury

Each amalgam filling in your tooth releases up to 17 mcg of mercury every day. This increases up to 500 mcg with the smoking of cigarettes, the drinking of hot liquids, gum chewing, acidic saliva or the grinding of teeth at night. Mercury accumulates in the brain, heart, kidneys, and endocrine glands and can cause depression, auto-immune diseases, memory loss, tremors, anemia and heart attacks.

The half-life of mercury is 67 years in the human body. It accumulates in the neurons (nerve cell bodies). It is very difficult to get rid of. There is enough mercury in one amalgam filling that if it were extracted and put into a 10-acre lake, the EPA would shut down that lake due to contamination of the fish. Yet it has been OK for years to put into amalgam fillings.

Not too many years ago some dentists began to speak out against mercury, telling their patients that mercury was a poison. Then the ADA (American Dental Association) told the dentists they would get their licenses to practice dentistry revoked, if they did not shut up. Just recently here in Oregon, the “gage” order was lifted and dentist can finally tell the truth about mercury.

Our clinic works with a few selected dentists in the Portland Oregon area who understand mercury for what it is. These few dentists are extremely careful when removing old amalgam fillings so the patient will not get contaminated. Composite fillings are the way to go, but the dentist must be very precise to be certain those composites are as strong as possible.

A hair analysis will demonstrate the amounts of mercury, and other metal toxicities, which are acute to the patient. Acute meaning the patient is consuming the contaminated products on a regular basis. One example is canned Tuna Fish. Since mercury has gotten into our water sources, rivers, lakes, and oceans, certain fish are susceptible to this contamination, depending upon where in the ocean they usually are found.

Chelation of metals and mercury is possible and highly recommended. Taking extra selenium is helpful as selenium competes for the same binding sites, as does mercury in the human body. Alpha Lipoic Acid is also very beneficial as part of what is does is protect the brain cells from the mercury.

Aluminum

Aluminum can be found in drinking water, antiperspirants, baking powders, feminine hygiene products, cow and soymilk, baby formula, antacids, aluminum foil, and old cast aluminum pots and pans, and backpacking (camping) aluminum cookware.

It accumulates in the skin, bones, brain, and kidneys and can cause Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

Barium

Barium compounds are found in soaps, ceramics, paper, glass, plastics, textiles, dyes, fuel additives, rubber, paint and pesticides. In my old pre-med days while working as an X-ray technician, we regularly used barium enemas to get a good x-ray picture of the large intestine.

Barium toxicity can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.

Nickel

Nickel is found in stainless steel cutlery, pots and pans, coins, dental fillings and batteries. It accumulates in the bones, kidneys, liver, lungs, immune system and the brain.

Nickel can cause genetic damage and cancer.

Arsenic

Arsenic is found in cigarette smoke, laundry detergents, beer, seafood and drinking water. It can cause headaches, confusion and sleepiness.

Arsenic can damage the kidneys, liver, and lungs.

Lead

Lead is found in cosmetics, plastics, batteries, gasoline, insecticides, pottery glaze, soldered pipes and paint. Lead accumulates in the brain, spleen, liver, kidneys, and bones.

For each 30 mcg of lead in a child’s blood, his or her IQ drops 10 points.

Cadmium

Cadmium is found in soft drinks, cigarette smoke, water softeners, seafood, rubber, motor oil, pesticides, fungicides, and poly-vinyl plastics.

Cadmium can cause chronic fatigue syndrome, hair loss, high blood pressure, edema, arthritis, kidney stones and impotence.

Uranium

Uranium is a radioactive element that disintegrates eventually into lead. There have been over 2,000 nuclear detonations on our planet since Hiroshima casting uranium into our atmosphere, not counting events like Three Mile Island and Chernobyl.

Radioactive materials can cause cancer and birth defects.
