Action Step #2

Cleanse Your Body

I can’t stress enough how important it is to get mercury out of your body! You have been toxified well beyond capacity, and your body’s natural cleansing system needs help. Fortunately, there are simple and inexpensive ways to rid your body of mercury.

Every person in the world should have their mercury levels tested by a doctor. A "challenge test," which uses a strong detoxification agent to provoke the body to release mecury, appears to be the most accurate way to determine toxicity. People who are most affected by mercury accumulation often do not show high levels in conventional testing methods—hair, urine, and blood samples. Many naturopathic doctors specialize in mercury testing. Ask around your community for a respected doctor.

What is Chelation?

Mercury cleansing uses a natural process called chelation (key-lay-shun) that occurs in your body all the time. Chelation increases this natural process to help expel heavy metals faster. Some supplements and drugs are perfectly suited to act like puzzle pieces that bond to heavy metals. Your body then excretes the bonded materials from the body.

Doctor-Administered Mercury Chelation

The science of heavy metal detoxification is still hotly debated in the scientific community. You may be engaging in risky medical procedures if you try heavy metal detoxification. Some doctors prescribe the drugs EDTA, DMSA, DMPS, Glutathione, and NAC. All may have serious side effects at high doses. The drugs probably should be avoided unless you have acute mercury poisoning, not the chronic poisoning described in this article. Only your doctor can tell you the severity of your mercury poisoning.

Chelation drugs can be administered through an IV, as a cream that is rubbed into thin skin, or taken orally. The IV method has proven most effective, but also most problematic due to increased risk of side effects. I believe using the cream or oral consumption is the best course of action because reactions tend to be milder.

Benefits of Chelation

There are many claimed benefits of chelation:

• Prevention of coronary artery disease, strokes, cholesterol deposits, arthritis,
• Reduced risk of heart attacks, strokes
• Restored circulation, vision
• Reversal of senility, Alzheimer's, Parkinson’s, kidney stones, ulcers, impotence
• Improved memory, mood, skin, vision,
• Lowers blood pressure, cholesterol
• Correct cardiac arrhythmias

If you decide to take a chelating agent many doctors recommend a preparation phase similar to Tim’s Natural Mercury Cleansing Routine 2-3 months before the chelation drugs are taken. Chelating drugs are designed to extract mercury from your tissues and bones, which is then deposited into the bloodstream. Science is still unclear, but it appears that the drugs don’t take the last step to aid in releasing the mercury from the body. You could be re-toxifying yourself if you don’t help your excretory system eliminate the mercury from your body. Mercury could be re-deposited back into your tissues.

If you are prescribed a chelating drug by the doctor I believe removing your dental fillings before beginning chelation is an absolute necessity .

Why Natural Mercury Cleansing?

After reviewing all of the literature I could find I decided that a natural mercury cleanse was appropriate. The natural way eliminates mercury less quickly than drug induced chelation and therefore less complications. Doctor prescribed chelating drugs may have serious side effects and the cost of the therapy was several thousand dollars. Plus, there is a time commitment of several hours for each doctor visit. For me, natural mercury detoxification was preferable considering it is highly effective and much less expensive and time consuming.

The recommended products have many more health benefits than just mercury detoxification. This cleanse also facilitates the excretion of other heavy metals. People report that heavy metal cleansing can give you back 20 years of your life and make you feel younger and more energetic. Many people also regain a zest for life and feel better than they ever have. I have personally experienced these benefits as well.
