This program was designed for persons who have accumulated toxins and to specifically remove those toxins. It was taken into consideration that many persons participating in this program will be on medications for the symptoms they have been having. In most cases, the need for the medications will be reduced as a person progresses. These medication issues need to be addressed by a qualified medical professional.

The sauna is run for two hours, and short breaks are to be taken every 15 min to 30 min

DMPS is administered once per week

Stage 1 is typically about two weeks

Stage 2 is for the duration of the therapeutic program

More sensitive persons may have do a modified schedule. Persons in active psychosis and anxiety that produces panic attacks, active Lyme or other pathogenic infection, and physical weakness would be some examples.

Each participant needs to be given a physical exam to determine if they have heart disease or highly elevated liver enzyme of any other physical limitation that would preclude their participation.

Biochemical Cycles demonstrating toxic effects on Metabolism

The following was captured from the Genova Nutreval test

CoFactors are substances that support a particular biochemical processes in the body.

Toxins are substances that inhibit certain biochemical processes in the body

Above is a small portion of a biochemical cycle involving carbohydrate metabolism. In order for Pyruvic Acid to convert into Acetyl CoA, you need the CoFactors listed in the green dot. As long as you have Magnesium (Mg), B1, B2, B3 and Lipoate, you should be able to manufacture Acetyl CoA. Toxins however invalidate this conversion process. The pinkish dot and the red line with the arrow though it represents things that inhibit the conversion from taking place. As, Hg, and Sb represent Arsenic, Mercury and Antimony. Presence of those toxins will likely inhibit this step regardless of ample CoFacors. The presence of toxins debilitates person’s ability to be able to make use of the nutrients they are consuming.

Acetyl CoA is a main factor in cellular respiration known as the Krebs Cycle, which produces energy for the cell. Acetyl CoA is also needed to convert Serotonin to Melatonin as seen below. Toxic inhibition of this process may result in insomnia, and the addition of dietary Melatonin would be ineffective as this conversion needs to take place within the brain, and Melatonin will not cross from the gut and blood to the brain.

The following was taken from the Genova Nutreval Test [Mercury inhibition added]

Mercury (Hg) is particularly toxic. It toxifies one of the main detoxification mediums, namely methlyation. In order to detoxify a fat soluble toxin, a CH3 group called a methyl group needs to be conjoined to the toxin. Mercury disables this process. Now, not only can the body not clear the Mercury, but becomes ineffective as clearing other toxins as well. So the Lead, Cadmium, Organic Phosphates and so on cannot be cleared. Mercury is also a factor is the above as Mercury will interfere with the adenylation of Methionine which creates endogenous Sam-E, another factor important in the conversion of Serotonin to Melatonin.

Sam-E also is needed in the conversion of Norepinephrine to Epinephrine as shown in the next cycle below. Build up of Norepinephrine results anxious states, and a relatively constant unwavering type of anxiety is a typical presentation of Mercury toxicity.

“I don’t feel comfortable using a substance designated by the Environmental Protection Agency to be a waste disposal hazard. I can’t throw it in the trash, bury it in the ground, or put it in a landfill, but they say it is OK to put it in people’s mouths. That doesn’t make sense.” – Richard. Fischer, D.D.S.

Specific Elements of the Chelative Sauna Defined

Exercise – At the capillary level, the cellular level, where much of this detoxing is to occur, an increase in blood pressure is needed to force new blood and oxygenation into these areas as well as to force out the toxins. It is estimated that at a minimum, 12 minutes of doubled heart rate is necessary to process the toxins of a NORMAL days metabolism. With the added burden of removing a lifetime of accumulated toxins, the minimum cardiovascular and doubling of the heart rate time is 20 minutes. This may of course need to be adjusted based upon the relative health of the participant.

Water – This process will liberate stored toxins, and water consumption is important to flush the toxins out of the system. Without proper water intake, the toxins will sit in the system where they can do damage, particularity to the glomerulus capillary network areas of the kidney which are the urinary filtration areas. Toxins liberated from fat storage areas and made water soluble must have the increased fluid intake to push them out of the body with the sweating. We use the Nikken water filtration system that not only filters the water, but mineralizes and ionizes it as well. The minimum requirement is 64 ounces for even the smallest adult.

Chelative agents and detoxification support elements

Chlorella- Chlorella is toxic binding to all known toxic metals and many environmental toxins. It is anti-viral. It is more effective at binding metals than any natural product known. It will not absorb from the gut into the bloodstream. This means that neuro-toxins that are dumped into the gut from the other chelators that do cross membranes such as cilantro and DMPS will be captured by the chlorella and safely exported via defecation. This binding is critical as without it, the toxins would likely be reabsorbed into the ENS (enteric nervous system). The ENS is a nerve plexus surrounding the intestines, and is highly prone to absorbing neurotoxins. The toxin, bound to chlorella cannot leave the gut, and this is the main reason for chlorella in the protocol.

It is given first so that it is in the gut when the other chelators start pulling toxins from the tissues. Chlorella is a single-celled algae that scientists postulate may be among the Earth’s oldest living organisms. In the 1960’s, Japanese scientists began to study chlorella for it’s health properties. We have now come to know chlorella well as a detoxifier, immune stimulator, and as an excellent source of cellular nutrition. The Chlorella produced by Mountain Rose Herbs has a cracked cell wall by a cryogenic jet-spray process that pulverizes the algae wall and allows for it to be digestible. It is grown organically in Japanese ponds free of exposure to industrial chemicals.

Constituents (per 100 g)

Garden of Life Q-Zymes with Beta Glucan and Cellulase- The Beta-Glucan and Cellulase in this product are specifically designed to digest the Chlorella cell wall, as well as further disrupt Biofilm of Bacterial and Fungal colonies in the gut.

DMPS- (2,3-dimercapto-1-propanesulfonic acid)

By prescription only. This is a chelative protein that will bind most metals, and is particularly effective at binding mercury. It will cross the gut lining as well as fatty tissues, and will therefore pull mercury from individual cells as well. It will not cross the blood brain barrier, and therefore will not directly remove mercury or other metals from the brain. This also means that it will not pull metals from the tissues and drive them into the brain, making it a safe first wave approach to clearing heavy metal toxins safely from body tissues. DMPS is specific for metals, and is not known to clear organic toxins.

NAC (N-Acetyl-Cysteine)

NAC can be produced in humans from the amino acid cysteine. NAC is a sulfur-containing amino acid derivative found naturally in foods and is a powerful antioxidant. These dual properties help repair oxidative damage in the body. Being a powerful anti-oxidant and cell detoxification co-factor, NAC works to eliminate your body of free radicals and heavy metals..

N-Acetyl-Cysteine is currently the dietary supplement of choice for building up cysteine or conserving the body’s store of Glutathione, Cysteine and other Sulfhydryl anti-oxidant resources. This is very crucial for the body’s life functions, as NAC helps the body neutralize toxins, heavy metals, such as mercury from dental amalgam fillings, cadmium and lead from paint and cigarette smoke. The Sulfhydryl balance has also been linked to enhance resistance to viral infections.

NAC is a chelator of heavy metals. In other words, NAC binds to toxic heavy metals such as mercury and lead, and removes them from the body. NAC will remove many toxic heavy metals from the body. Toxic metals can accumulate in the body over time from many sources such as drinking water and possibly even from tooth fillings made of silver-mercury amalgam. These heavy metals catalyze free-radical reactions. In other words, they initiate free-radical reactions without being used up during the reaction. So these heavy metals continue to cause free radical damage as long as they are present in the body. NAC has been shown to antidote acetaminophen (Tylenol) poisoning, mercury poisoning, and even arsenic poisoning. Mercury is especially important because of the increasing evidence linking mercury amalgam dental fillings with the onset of degenerative diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis. NAC chelates, i.e. “grabs” heavy metals and removes them from the body. NAC has been shown to be a protective agent in many diseases and conditions in which free radicals play a role. This includes cancer, AIDS, cirrhosis, as well as pollution damage from smoking or other chemicals. Rats given NAC were completely protected against cigarette smoke caused DNA cross-linking. Cancer research has shown that NAC dramatically reduces the ability of a tumor to invade surrounding tissue. In one study, NAC decreased the number of metastases by 80% when cancer cells were pretreated with NAC. NAC can be used for colon cancer prevention.

Oregano Oil- Oregano Oil is Highly anti-fungal for Candida and effective against the biofilm colonies of antibiotic resistant bacteria including Lyme disease. Mercury and other toxicity immunosuppresses a person and leaves them prone to infections. Oragano needs to be taken well prior to probiotics and for only the first week.

Niacin (B3), B6, Sublingual B12

B vitamins that are involved in neurochemistry synthesis and detoxification processes.

BioPure Freeze Dried Garlic –

“ Garlic protects white and red blood cells from the oxidative damage caused by metals traveling in the blood. Garlic also contains numerous Sulfur compounds which will oxidize Mercury, Cadmium and Lead making them water soluble. Garlic also contains bioactive Selenium, which has anti-viral properties and is the most important mineral for protection against Mercury Toxicity. Garlic also contains allicin which is nature’s most powerful anti-microbial.

The medicinal properties of fresh garlic have been known for centuries and it has been the mainstay anti-microbial of numerous civilizations through the ages. The problem that has arisen in presenting garlic as a supplement is the inherent instability of the initial active substance, allicin, which is created when a clove of garlic is crushed. Allicin is not found, as such, within the garlic clove. Instead, when the clove is crushed, allicin is formed instantaneously from the interaction on an enzyme called alliinase on a precursor of allicin called alliin.

“By selecting the highest quality garlic cloves, rich in alliin and alliinase, and then gently freeze-drying them, a concentrate powder is produced which only releases the prime active allicin component when ingested and re-hydrated, i.e. all the allicin is released within the gastrointestinal tract.  This is how BioPure is able to make the highest possible potency garlic available as a concentrate with all of the active components intact.” Text taken from BioPure Website

CaEDTA-

Ethylene-Diamine-Tetra-Acetic Acid. CaEDTA is used as a chelating agent in the treatment of lead poisoning, and CaEDTA also binds cadmium. It also Chelates, Zinc, and it’s use requires re-supplementation with Zinc several hours after administration.

BioPure Cilantro Tinticure (STAGE 2)-

“This kitchen herb is capable of mobilizing lead, aluminum, nickel, mercury, and cadmium is the central nervous system and in the bones. It is probably the only effective agent in mobilizing mercury stored in the intracellular space (attached to mitochondria, tubulin, liposomes etc.) and in the nucleus of the cell (reversing DNA damage of mercury).”-Dietrich Klinghardt Eliminating Neurotoxins Townsend Letter Oct 2009

Cilantro does cross the blood brain barrier, and is used in stage 2 for that reason. Since Cilantro can mobilize toxins in cells, and mobilize more toxins than it can carry out of the body, it needs to be combined with Chlorella to prevent re-toxification. It is important to give the Chlorella prior to the Cilantro so as to line the gut with large molecule Chlorella chelators which will bind the toxins liberated by the Cilantro. Cilantro has demonstrated a more rapid removal of aluminum and lead from the skeleton than any other known detox agent.
Vitamin C: Primary Water-Soluble Antioxidant

Vitamin C is the most important water-soluble antioxidant nutrient and is involved in a wide variety of biochemical reactions throughout the body. Because of its molecular structure, vitamin C is able to donate hydrogen atoms from two hydroxyl positions to neutralize free radicals. The body uses vitamin C during detoxification and anti-inflammatory processes, as well as immune system functions, including white blood cell production, histamine release and degradation, the reduction of glutathione, and the metabolism and protection of several other nutrients. In combination with other nutrients, vitamin C also supports the production of certain neurotransmitters.

Salts/Potassium

As needed to replace minerals lost via sweating. During sweating, Sodium and Potassium are lost and need to be replaced.

Sam-E S-Adenosyl methionine is a common co-substrate involved in methyl group transfers. The methyl group (CH3) attached to the methionine sulfur atom in SAM is chemically reactive. This allows donation of this group to an acceptor substrate in transmethylation reactions. Transmethylation is an important step in converting a reactive toxin into a harmless water soluble substance that the body can then easily eliminate. Blister packs keep the product safe from degradation, which is a particular issue with Sam-E

Three-dimensional picture of Methyl Transfer

Coconut Oil-

Coconut oil is good for the immune system. It strengthens the immune system as it contains antimicrobial lipids, lauric acid, capric acid and caprylic acid which have antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral properties. The human body converts lauric acid into monolaurin which is claimed to help in dealing with viruses and bacteria causing diseases such as herpes, influenza, cytomegalovirus, and even HIV. It helps in fighting harmful bacteria such as listeria monocytogenes and heliobacter pylori, and harmful protozoa such as giardia lamblia.

Total Amino Solution This product contains all the precursors necessary to synthesize neurotransmitters. It is promoted by Julia Ross, author of the Mood Cure Diet. Neurochemistry is dramatically impacted by the presence of toxins, and this formula is designed to help repair that damage.

Evening Primrose Oil-

The main active ingredient in EPO is an omega-6 fatty acid known as gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). In neurotoxic people, we typically see an inappropriate ratio of fatty acids; that is, too much Omega 3 and not enough Omega 6. This is the exact opposite of what most doctors tell their patients. When this ratio is not present, the cell and the body become toxic. This optimum balance of FA’s makes up the cellular membrane that lets nutrition in and waste out.

Lecithin-

Enzymes such as bile, which are produced in the liver, help with digestion and the breakdown of various chemicals inside the body. Without lecithin these enzymes would cease to be effective. Lecithin is a powerful fat-emulsifying compound. It solubilizes fats and cholesterol in the bloodstream and solubilizes dietary fats in the intestinal mucosa. It maintains the structural integrity of cell membranes. Since most toxins are fat-soluble, Lecithin is important in exchanging toxin laden fats with good fats.

Re-mineralization-

As chelators such as EDTA and DMPS can remove good minerals, the good minerals need to be replaced, and the re-mineralization needs to occur after the active period for the chelators. Adding minerals at the same time as the chelating agents would dilute the effectiveness of the chelators, hence, they are given 2 hours after the primary chelators.
Seleno- Methionine-

Selenium bound to Methionine. During digrestion, the Methionine will split off of the Selenium. This not only makes the Selenium Bio-available, but the Methionine itself contributes to the Methylation aspect of detoxification. Good minerals will compete with toxic ones, and the good minerals can replace toxic ones at the sites where there are bound within the neurology. Selenium is one of the good minerals, and the most important mineral to protect against Mercury toxicity. There is some question still about the bio-availability of the Selenium in Selenomethione, and hence the added reasoning for the freeze-dried garlic, a highly bio-available form of Selenium.

ORME Zeolite

The ORME Zeolite formula is quickly incorporated into the body through Ambaya Gold’s ORME Energy Technology™ delivery system. This proprietary Monatomic based system markedly increases the uptake and use of the formula, greatly increasing its effectiveness.

Cal-Mag – Cal Mag being used here to insure proper remineralization lost from the Chelative Process and the sweating.

Zinc Liver Chelate – Zinc is lost when a person is metal toxic, and when the body is under any form of stress, especially infections. Infections are common with toxicity. Zinc is also chelated out by this process and need to be replaced.

Probiotics – “Increased populations of healthy commensals (gut bacteria) displace pathogens residing in biofilm. Probiotics combat pathogens through a number of mechanisms, including secretion of organic acids, hydrogen peroxide, and bacteriocins.” Eliminating Neurotoxins Townsend Oct 2009. Probiotic have the ability to directly disrupt biofilm and displace Candidal colonies impairing the fungal surface adhesion. Probiotics should be done distal from anti-fungals such as the Oregano Oil.
