Heavy Metal - Chelation Therapy

[ChatCat]

Hello everyone,

Lately I have been researching chelation therapy and the importance of heavy metal detoxification. We are exposed to metals continuously, which is damaging the brain, body and altering the immune system.
There seems to be an important relationship between metals and Morgellons .
Because of this, chelation therapy may be good to add to a healing protocol.

For further reading:

There are various products and ways to do chelation therapy. Some are very expensive and time consuming while others are not.
Here is a list of various ways to chelate metals from the body starting with the most expensive and time consuming to the least:

• intravenously from a doctor
• suppositories
• supplements in capsule, powder and liquid form.

Most chelation supplements contain EDTA and are available in liquid or capsule.
Chelation suppositories are very effective, safe and are not as expensive as intravenous treatment.
Modified Citrus Pectin is an excellent supplement for chelation therapy and maintenance.
When choosing a supplement or method, you may want to consider paying extra for quality to assure the most benefit. Your health is worth it!

I plan on having my family use whatever form of chelation therapy that they are willing to use. We will do a detox regimen and then go on a maintenance level.
Since I am recovered from Morgellons, I am not worried about it for myself, but I am for my family and want to work on prevention.

Chelating heavy metals may play an important role in Morgellons recovery and prevention.

Great subject...
in addition to the above mentioned methods, cilantro has shown great chelation properties...
from my blog... Spices & Herbs Morgellons Aid

Cilantro

Cilantro seems to have some very interesting (and affordable) super health benefits and can be seen as a major cleaner of the body in ridding heavy metals such as mercury, lead and aluminum from one’s body.Yes, there’s more people, cilantro is also a blood cleaner. There are treatments available to help rid the body of the heavy metals called ‘Chelation therapy’ which use chemical agents like EDTA . This has long been used to help remove heavy metals” but it seems as if cilantro is one of the affordable natural substances than can remove these metals naturally. Only use fresh organic cilantro… as in this Pesto recipe.

Cilantro Pesto

•1 clove garlic ( add more to taste)
•1 cup almonds, cashews, or other nuts (preferrably raw and soaked)
•1 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves
•2 tablespoons lemon juice
•6 tablespoons organic cold pressed virgin olive oil

Use a food processor or blender to process the cilantro to a paste. Slowly add the other ingredients and process until smooth. Add more oil or water to blend if needed. If so remember to use the 3:1 ratio of lemon juice to olive oil. This pesto will freeze well for later use so consider making large batches.

Note: Most health food grocers and online suppliers now have nut butters for sell. These include almond butter, cashew butter and macadamia nut butter. It is also easy to make a nut butter with a food processor or a masticating juicer. Simply soak the raw nuts in filtered water overnight. Rinse and process in the machine.

Ummmmmmm.. thanks Xib, I might try it on toast.

Translation for UK morgies - Chilantro = coriander leaves

Gwen Scott ND mentioned activated charcoal capsules to help soak up metals. I take them now and then.

Just a few old posts about cilantro and heavy metals:

One from LC:

health benefits of parsley and cilantro

Sorry this will not come up on permalink 1 unless you are signed off the forum:

Ted from the earthclinic who has a lot of natural suggestions is quoted in this post:

Heavy Metals support Biofilms (permalink 1)

I was seeing someone about detoxification when I wrote this post. The suggestions, as far as products, were his. This is why I do not believe it is easy to cure morgellons with just detoxification as I have done a lot of different protocols, but still have some symptoms.

Hey Kat,

This is a terrific post about many inexpensive ways to detoxify the body. Do you know how using the activated charcoal might interact with any prescription drugs being used by members?

Anyway, I plan to read your post on LB. Thanks so much for sharing here.

ONE IMPORTANT RULE WHEN USING EDTA CHELATION, YOU NEED TO SUPPLAMENT WITH MINERALS BIG TIME BECAUSE IT WILL STRIP ALL KINDS OF NEEDED MINERALS OUT OF YOU.

I had over 30 detox EDTA intravenious treatments, with also vitamin and mineral replacement therapy at the same time.

You come out of there flush feeling like superman as they give you a b12 thats kinda nice.

The treatment seems not to do damage to anything, then my kidney are a little funny, BUT I am thinking STEROIDS and antibiotics did this, not chelation.

It is my contention that long term STEROIDS are the worst for us, this form of treatment is the worst for us, our immune system will keep this at bay for a long long time, STEROIDS shut off the immune responce.

I have this feeling if steroids are to be used, it should be in conjunction with antibiotics, shots of steroid with salve and antibiotic, for only a short term to start treatment, continue on the antibiotics after quiting the steroids and do not use again, long term use of STEROIDS will negativly affect your recovery and damage your bodys organs.

I am thinking in this manner about the steroids, because they at FIRST took away the immune responce reaction, clearing skin of slight irritation, the steroids do affect the malady possible shutting down there own immune responce at this point the antibiotic could flow into and thru the lesion/TUMORS.

Because I feel that these TUMORS can shut off flow of blood thru the veins that go into them the STEROIDS may relax the constriction of the vein and allow the flow of antibiotic into the lesion/TUMOR.

There is also a natural product that is called DMSO that also may help actually permeate the cell wall of the lesion/TUMOR mass.

I did not have the idea to try this when on the antibiotics and steroids, quite literally I was on these things way too long, five years.

By the time I stopped these drugs the effect of these were litterally killing me, the doctor told me I was a fool, or so he made me feel, but he was just another QUACK with a flawed opinion that was costing me my life.

It never concerned this man that my problems were surfacing from 5 YEARS of STEROIDS shots and antibiotic misuse.

If I had followed his direction and continued use of these powerful drugs I would not be here now as it is I am quite sure the kidney problems are a direct result of STEROID OVERUSE.

Thanks for the additional information Kat, as it is pretty important to consider how to safely take activated charcoal when also on prescription and even some non-prescription drugs.

I don't know how I missed it in your post here, but when I read your post over on LB I noticed the mention of niacin in your list of supplements which help detoxification. I am also finding this supplement quite effective for treating low energy levels when used with b-12 and a b multi to keep the b's in balance. There's just so many ways to improve Morgellons symptoms without having to resort to spending a lot of money. For instance, just plain niacin (not the no flush kind which is more expensive) is very inexpensive. I am finding this very helpful for raising energy levels in conjunction with drinking a cup or two of some low acid organic sumatra coffee in the morning. I love tea, but it just does not have the same effect. So I drink tea later in the day.

Well..it is true that activated charcoal CAN interfere with prescription drugs as it unfortunately 'pulls' that out too. I would advise for those folks who are taking prescription drugs to take the activated charcoal at a different time..and NOT together.


'On the other hand, if there is any concern that activated charcoal will interfere with the desired effect of prescription or non-prescription drugs, it is recommended to take activated charcoal no closer than 1 to 1½ hours before or 1 to 1½ after taking drug medication.'


Here some more info on it: Frequently Asked Questions about Medicinal Activated Charcoal


'Activated charcoal absorbs substances in the stomach and intestines. Taking activated charcoal along with medications taken by mouth can decrease how much medicine your body absorbs, and decrease the effectiveness of your medication. To prevent this interaction, take activated charcoal at least one hour after medications you take by mouth.'
