Heavy Metal Detox System
| Some
metals are naturally found in the body and are essential to human
health. Iron, for example, prevents anemia, and zinc is a cofactor
in over 100 enzyme reactions. They normally occur at low concentrations
and are known as trace metals. In high doses, they may be toxic
to the body or produce deficiencies in other trace metals; for
example, high levels of zinc can result in a deficiency of copper,
another metal required by the body. |
Heavy
or toxic metals are trace metals with a density at least five
times that of water. As such, they are stable elements (meaning
they cannot be metabolized by the body) and bio-accumulative
(passed up the food chain to humans). These include: mercury,
nickel, lead, arsenic,
cadmium, aluminum
and copper (the metallic form versus the ionic form required
by the body). Heavy metals have no function in the body and
can be highly toxic.

Once
liberated into the environment through the air, drinking water,
food, or countless human-made chemicals and products, heavy metals
are taken into the body via inhalation, ingestion, and skin absorption.
If heavy metals enter and accumulate in body tissues faster than
the body's detoxification pathways can dispose of them, a gradual
buildup of these toxins will occur. High- concentration exposure
is not necessary to produce a state of toxicity in the body, as
heavy metals accumulate in body tissues and, over time, can reach
toxic concentration levels |
Human
exposure to heavy metals has risen dramatically in the last 50
years, however, as a result of an exponential increase in the
use of heavy metals in industrial processes and products. Today,
chronic exposure comes from mercury-amalgam dental fillings, air
pollution and tap water, chemical residues in processed foods,
and "personal care" products (cosmetics, shampoo and
other hair products, mouthwash, toothpaste, soap). In today's
industrial society, there is no escaping exposure to toxic chemicals
and metals.

In
addition to the hazards at home and outdoors, many occupations
involve daily heavy metal exposure. Over 50 professions entail
exposure to mercury alone. These include physicians, pharmaceutical
workers, any dental occupation, laboratory workers, hairdressers,
painters, printers, welders, metalworkers, cosmetic workers,
battery makers, engravers, photographers, visual artists, and
potters. The Effects of Heavy Metal Toxicity Studies confirm
that heavy metals can directly influence behavior by impairing
mental and neurological function, influencing neurotransmitter
production and utilization, and altering numerous metabolic
body processes. Systems in which toxic metal elements can induce
impairment and dysfunction include the blood and cardiovascular,
detoxification pathways (colon, liver, kidneys, skin), endocrine
(hormonal), energy production pathways, enzymatic, gastrointestinal,
immune, nervous (central and peripheral), reproductive, and
urinary. |

Breathing heavy metal particles, even at levels
well below those considered nontoxic, can have serious health
effects. Virtually all aspects of animal and human immune system
function are compromised by the inhalation of heavy metal particulates.
In addition, toxic metals can increase allergic reactions, cause
genetic mutation, compete with "good" trace metals for
biochemical bond sites, and act as antibiotics, killing both harmful
and beneficial bacteria. |
| |
Much of the damage produced by toxic metals stems
from the proliferation of oxidative free radicals they cause.
A free radical is an energetically unbalanced molecule, composed
of an unpaired electron that "steals" an electron from
another molecule to restore its balance. Free radicals result
naturally when cell molecules react with oxygen (oxidation) but,
with a heavy toxic load or existing antioxidant deficiencies,
uncontrolled free-radical production occurs. Unchecked, free radicals
can cause tissue damage throughout the body; free-radical damage
underlies all degenerative diseases. Antioxidants such as vitamins
A, C, and E curtail free-radical activity.

Heavy metals can also increase the acidity of
the blood. The body draws calcium from the bones to help restore
the proper blood pH. Further, toxic metals set up conditions that
lead to inflammation in arteries and tissues, causing more calcium
to be drawn to the area as a buffer. The calcium coats the inflamed
areas in the blood vessels like a bandage, patching up one problem
but creating another, namely the hardening of the artery walls
and progressive blockage of the arteries. Without replenishment
of calcium, the constant removal of this important mineral from
the bones will result in osteoporosis (loss of bone density leading
to brittle bones). |

Kelatox is a rectal, time released suppository with added
anti oxidants that bind and remove harmful heavy metals from your body
while supplying added nutrients. Kelatox brand of suppositories use 900
mg of Calcium Disodium EDTA in a Cocoa Butter base with methocel E4M premium
USP for a time release effect. Each suppository will dissolve through
body heat and gradually spread over the lining of the colon and be absorbed
directly into the blood stream in approximately 90-120 minutes.
EDTA is a synthetic amino acid first manufactured in the
1940's that has proven to be the best broad based heavy metal chelator
with very few adverse effects. The half life of EDTA is 20-60 minutes
and is excreted primarily by the kidneys within 24 hours but may also
be excreted through the bowels. Almost none of the EDTA is metabolized.
Since the vast majority of the EDTA will be broken down and not utilized
while taken orally, the rectal route of administration is very effective.
By using suppositories, the EDTA bypasses the gastro-intestinal tract
which means very little will be destroyed by the acids and enzymes in
the GI tract allowing for a very high utilization rate. Also, by using
a suppository a majority of the EDTA will bypass the liver and kidneys
on first pass putting less stress on those organs and allowing the EDTA
plus anti-oxidants to remain in the body longer giving it a better chance
to bind with harmful metals.
