Heavy Metals support Biofilms

[tcmgpt13]

I am having some luck using herbs to help get parasites out internally, along other therapies for heavy metals. It is a slow process, but I do think I am having some results. I do believe that for those having biofilms and mycoplasma infections detoxifying heavy metals in the body is essential as the heavy metal may hold together biofilms.

This next is from a web site which discusses natural therapies, and is really about sarcoid tumors. Still it discusses mycoplasmas and how they may effect the body and why it is so important to detoxify heavy metals in the body. It also does have suggestions of what supplements may be needed to help recover from this problem (including SteveF will be happy to hear a suggestion about the use of copper:

http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/sarcoid.html

"READER QUESTION
11/3/2006: Charles from London writes, "I am interested in finding out if anyone know of any natural cures for Sacoid. I have had this since 1996 and I take prednisolene (steriods) for it. I will appreciate yours or your readers response. Thanks."

Ted from Bangkok replies, "Dear Charles: You mean sarcoid. Yes, prednisone is a common treatment. As always to solve sarcoid you treat the cause. Usually a sarcoid starts when you have a bout of cold that refuses to go away. If treated early with zinc acetate 50/mg per day. That condition would have stopped.

Later on, the conditions will buildup into a persistent cough. At this stage taking menthol crystals, and licorice extract would have stopped the persistent cough.

Then when the cough is persistent enough, it goes to the lungs. Since the immune systems are down and no one ever bothered to raise the immune systems anyway, fungus like organism will begin to invade, often you will have a pneumonia-like conditions. At this stage, inhalation therapy will help destroy the fungus like organism, such as adding some grandmother's old remedy like, eucalyptus to the humidifier, and some other recommendations posted in earthclinic.

If you allow the conditions to persist, it goes into the blood. Usually people with a suppressed immune system, have have either one or two conditions, such as frequent immunization, which suppresses the immune system or the body is high in heavy metals, which tends to accumulate around the glandular functions, which obviously suppresses the immune system, and other glandular functions sometimes simultaneously. Heavy metals usually come from defective water filter, faucets, fried foods, metallic cooking utensils, such as rice cooker, etc.

At this stage of the game, oral chelation, taking citrates, alkalizing, minimizing immunization, or taking minerals antagonistic to mercury, cadmium such as N Acetyl Cysteine, selenium, zinc, etc. would have saved you. Of course most people don't so they go to the next stage. At this stage, there is enough mycoplasma colonies to enter your bloodstream. Interesting things begin to happen. The mycoplasma in order to survive needs heavy metals, of which they are in great amounts around our glandular organs, such as pancreas, thyroid, pineal, thymus, adrenal glands etc. where heavy metals tend to stay. So this is where the fungus also set up colonies to hide behind the heavy metals. Antibiotics cannot reach areas where heavy metals are high, as they get destroyed in presence of heavy metals. This is why chemist love metals, we used them as a form of catalyst in chemical reaction. Unfortunately, they also destroy antibiotics too. The only way to remove naturally in this stage is artemisinin (artemisia oil) and or chinese parsley. Not many will chose to do that either, so once the mycoplasma begins to grow, it causes glandular inflammation or irritation. In which case they become hyperactive.

The bad part about glandular hyperactivity initiated by these inflammatory mycoplasma is they can be in any part of your glandular functions. If it is in the thymus gland, they cause "lupus", if it is in thyroid glands, they cause T3 or T4 imbalances, if it is in the entire thyroid, they you get hyperthyroidism. Just think, only a couple of months before you had this sarcoid thing, you had hypothyroid because heavy metals tend to suppress their activity. Now it is going hyperactive because mycoplasma are making colonies in the same heavy metal sites. Of course other areas are good possibilites, in the pancreas it initiates hyperinsulinemia, in the adrenal glands, it initates hyperadrenalism then pretty soon, for too long it gets adrenal exhaustion.

Of course, mycoplasma as is in all cases of fungus are the single most difficult organism to kill. The ideal bioweapons is not the anthrax, it is not the bird flu, or any supervirus, as what Hollywood movies imply such as Aeon Flux, or Ultraviolet, etc. It is the mycoplasma or the fungus. In the event of a nuclear holocaust, only two organism survives: the cockroaches and the fungus.

Of course they have an achilles heal. It is alkaline diets, ammonium salts, chromium chloride (through supplements), copper chloride (through supplements), zinc acetate, and some others. The key is to disturb their protective shell, which is heavy metals through chelation, ammonium compounds by virtue of penetrants, and alkalinity since they can't survive there. Certain aromatherapy, such as oregano, thyme and tea tree oil kills them too. You can take them internally, the tea tree to kill them. However antinflammatories applying lavender in the area of body where there is glandular inflammation will help. I now begin to suspect camphor, the active ingredient of the lavender to be the one that stops the mycoplasma, and nano growth and also stops glandular hyperactivity to normal via anti inflammatory activities of them. To make a simple camphorated oil, I might use grape oil with camphor powder. So as you can see there are other natural ways, a great many ways other than the use of prednisone.

The theory, practice and cures of scarcoid are pretty straightfoward, but how many websites out there really tell you this? If I know this, I think a lot of other people know too, just that they don't want to post the information. Ted"

Not sure what credentials Ted has, but find this information interesting. I have read at other sites that heavy metals help hold biofilms together. And since these parasites seem to survive in biofilms detoxifying heavy metals will help lessen the parasite burden as well IMHO.

I also feel that biofilms do not survive as well in people who have higher internal body temperatures. Many alternative practitioners who treat the thyroid realize that the closer the body can stay to a temperature of 98.6 during the day the healthier the person will be, and able to fend off illnesses. This seems to be something modern doctors seem to have forgotten as both Western herbalism, Ayurvedic medicine and traditional Chinese medicine seem quite aware of the importance of a high enough internal body temperature. Too be to cold in TCM is to be seen as sinking towards the three lower levels of the six stages of illness. People who are too cold are more susceptible to illness as a whole. This is why it is a tragedy that so many of us were poisoned early in life by too many fillings when we were quite young and too many immunizations not mention the heavy metal exposure which for anyone born in industrialized nations is a given. Then we have both heavy metals and most likely biofilms working against our bodies, making our body temperatures too low.

So I do feel that no matter what type of treatment one is following, Western medicine or Herbalism or other alternative therapies detoxification of heavy metals is essential.

It does look as if some folks are looking into solving the problem though, so I will repost this link again here as a tie into this subject. This is a company which is looking into solving the biofilm issues which prevent those who are immune compromised from regaining health. One of the problems caused by biofilms is the ability to not allow antibiotics to work well against disease organisms:

http://www.quonova.com/

"The global human and economic costs caused by bacterial biofilms are enormous, from healthcare through to the agrochemical and petroleum industries. When bacteria settle and begin to colonise surfaces they communicate with each other. By releasing signaling molecules in a process called quorum sensing, they can coordinate the generation of toxins and the creation of biofilms, in order to defend themselves.

QuoNova is commercializing novel quorum sensing blocker (QSB) technology which affects this signaling and has led to the identification of substances which inhibit bacterial colonization and biofilm development. This breakthrough technology offers means of preventing the consequences of bacterial infection whilst avoiding the development of resistance and toxicity, and, in addition, opening completely new application opportunities."

This next link discusses biofilms briefly and shows some research done using vancomycin and EDTA to break up biofilms.

http://www.ce.cmu.edu/~jeanne/poster...A%20poster.pdf

There are ways to detoxify heavy metals without using IV EDTA. There are suppositories and oral supplements which may help detoxify the heavy metals and therefore may help break up stubborn biofilms. It is also necessary to know how to replace the good minerals which may be lost if using these methods.

To help remove the heavy metals, which also support the biofilms in the body, far infrared saunas and ionic foot detox baths also help. Just be careful to make sure electrolytes remain balanced when doing both of these therapies.

Another caution: some antibiotics can make biofilms grow, so if one suspects that biofilms are involved in his health problems hopefully the doctor will know which antibiotics to use safely.

Great post TCM. I'm interested to know which herbs you use in particular?

Also the thing about core body temperature. Makes total sense - we spend alot of time making sure babies and the elderly are warm enough...but are we warm enough? I do feel cold alot these days - skinny as a rake too! I'm gonna start having hot breakfasts - fuel for the day.

Jo, I have a sudden urge to take a HOT bath!

TCM...great information, as usual! I especially liked the bit about the glands and how depending on which it settles in there's a name related disease. Same critter, different disease. Also it gives credence to the fact of which I used to wonder about that if you expose a person to continual cold they will die (as in some stupid movie I saw years ago where someone put an old lady in a wheelchair outside in a cold storm. sick. What I was doing watching such a movie I have no idea).

Who is this Ted person anyway? Very knowledgeable. I'm a-liking him!

Hi Jo,

Here is a really good page talking about some inexpensive ways to help the body naturally detoxify heavy metals. The chief herb being spoken of is Cilantro also called Coriander. Yellow dock also plays a part in one suggestion:

Cilantro Pesto Said to Remove Heavy Metals

Here are the names of some sprays the fellow I see suggests be used to detoxify heavy metals, particularly mercury:

Body Health Metal free and Body Health Body detox

These sprays are very expensive. The fellow that works with me on detoxifying heavy metals does sell at some discount to his clients, but it is still expensive.

Bodyhealth.com | Products for Survival, The Ultimate Supplements for Health

Here is another suggestion he has for at home chelation, suppositories to remove heavy metals:

http://www.detoxamin.com/faq

There are sites which do offer discounts on this product, whereas the sprays are not discounted that much on the few sites I could find.

It is important to replace electrolytes if using a far infrared sauna to detoxify. This is also true when using the ionic foot detox machines. A cheap way to do this is to use Alacer's Electromix packets. Quite inexpensive. A large package makes 36 quarts of not that great flavored no sugar added electrolyte water (but you can always squeeze in some lime or lemon, add agave or stevia). I buy this at iherb at substantial discount over local health food stores.

Also if using the sprays or suppositories it is important to replace good minerals which may be lost along with the heavy metals. Here is what my practitioner suggested (he told me to use more than the bottle suggested and said to work up to 2 tablets 2 times a day):

Transmix with calcium:

Huggins Applied Healing*::*Supplements*::*Transmix With Calcium

Dr. Huggins is a well known mercury free dentist in Colorado Springs. The site gives a good discount if 6 bottles are purchased (this is one I will buy here, as it is a lot less expensive than my practitioner's price).

He also suggested I use a form of vitamin C which is supposed to be more easily absorbed by the body. This is a product from Garry Gordon. There is one called Vitality C which is sold on a few sites (under the American Neutraceutical name I think), and then the one on his site is called Bio En'R.Gy C. Very expensive too. Under whatever name. I bought some at Christmas when the site had 15% off and free shipping, but even so very expensive product, but it does seem to pull well through the urinary tract better than ordinary C and this includes pulling out small parasites:

TCM!

I want to put you into my cell phone or tap into your brain's store of knowledge to have wherever I am! You are the best!

Thanks TCM - great. I love coriander...thats a bonus. Will check out the links.

Kritts is right - you rock

[tcmgpt13]

Wow, thanks folks...I will have to be careful about the "swoll" head though, as I don't think this episode is a result of the morgellons which sometimes cause under the skin swelling in the head area.

[tcmgpt13]

Well, guess I can forget about the "swoll" head part , as I got the link wrong for the transmix with calcium and put up just the plain transmix link. It has been corrected now in the above link. Sorry for the mixup.

[Jo]

Gotya Thanks xx

Whoops forgot to save the change, so now it's fixed (I hope).
