Discovered by

The ancients


Mercury is the only common metal which is liquid at ordinary temperatures.
Mercury is sometimes called quicksilver. It is a heavy, silvery-white liquid metal.
It is a rather poor conductor of heat if compared with other metals but it is a fair conductor of electricity.
It alloys easily with many metals, such as gold, silver, and tin.
These alloys are called amalgams.

The most important mercury salts are 
mercuric chloride HgCl2 (corrosive sublimate - a violent poison), 
mercuric chloride Hg2Cl2 (calomel, still used in medicine occasionally), 
mercury fulminate (Hg(ONC)2, a detonator used in explosives) and 
mercuric sulphide (HgS, vermillion, a high-grade paint pigment). 


Applications
... Because of its high density it is used in barometers and manometers.
It is extensively used in thermometers, thanks to its high rate of thermal expansion that is fairly constant over a wide temperature range. Its Its ease in amalgamating with gold is used in the recovery of gold from its ores.

Industry uses mercury metal as a liquid electrode in the manufacture of chlorine and sodium hydroxide by electrolysis of brine.

Mercury is still used in some electrical gear, such as switches and rectifiers, which need to be reliable, and for industrial catalysis. Much less mercury is now used in consumer batteries and fluorescent lighting, but it has not been entirely eliminated.

Mercury compounds ....

Calomel (mercurous chloride, Hg2Cl2) is used as a standard in electrochemical measurements and in medicine as a purgative.

Mercuric chloride (corrosive sublimate, HgCl2) is used as an insecticide, in rat poison, and as a disinfectant.

Mercuric oxide is used in skin ointments.

Mercuric sulphate is used as a catalyst in organic chemistry.
Vermilion, a red pigment, is mercuric sulphide; another crystalline form of the sulphide (also used as a pigment) is black.

Mercury fulminate, Hg(CNO)2, is used as a detonator.


Mercury in the environment

Mercury occurs uncombined in nature to a limited extent.
It rarely occurs free in nature and is found mainly in cinnabar ore (HgS) in Spain, Russia, Italy, China and Slovenia.
World production of mercury is around 8.000 tonnes per year. Mineable reserves are around 600.000 tonnes.

Mercury is a compound that can be found naturally in the environment.
It can be found in metal form, as mercury salts or as organic mercury compounds.

Mercury enters the environment as a result of normal breakdown of minerals in rocks and soil through exposure to wind and water. Release of mercury from natural sources has remained fairly the same over the years. Still mercury concentrations in the environment are increasing; this is ascribed to human activity.

Most of the mercury released from human activities is released into air, through fossil fuel combustion, mining, smelting and solid waste combustion. Some forms of human activity release mercury directly into soil or water, for instance the application of agricultural fertilizers and industrial wastewater disposal. All mercury that is released in the environment will eventually end up in soils or surface waters.

Mercury is not naturally found in foodstuffs, but it may turn up in food as it can be spread within food chains by smaller organisms that are consumed by humans, for instance through fish. Mercury concentrations in fish usually greatly exceed the concentrations in the water they live in. Cattle breeding products can also contain eminent quantities of mercury. Mercury is not commonly found in plant products, but it can enter human bodies through vegetables and other crops, when sprays that contain mercury are applied in agriculture.




Research: Health effects of mercury. INDEX
http://www.lenntech.com/Periodic-chart-elements/
Hg-en.htm#Health%20effects%20of%20mercury

Metallic mercury is used in a variety of household products, such as barometers, thermometers and fluorescent light bulbs. The mercury in these devices is trapped and usually does not cause any health problems. However, when a thermometer will break a significantly high exposure to mercury through breathing will occur for a short period of time while it vaporizes. This can cause harmful effects, such as nerve, brain and kidney damage, lung irritation, eye irritation, skin rashes, vomiting and diarrhoea.

Mercury has a number of effects on humans, that can all of them be simplified into the following main effects:

    • Disruption of the nervous system
    • Damage to brain functions
    • DNA damage and chromosomal damage
    • Allergic reactions, resulting in skin rashes, tiredness and headaches
    • Negative reproductive effects, such as sperm damage, birth defects and miscarriages

    Damaged brain functions can cause

  • degradation of learning abilities,
  • personality changes,
  • tremors,
  • vision changes,
  • deafness,
  • muscle incoordination and
  • memory loss.

Chromosomal damage is known to cause mongolism.




Report : Environmental effects of mercury. INDEX
http://www.lenntech.com/Periodic-chart-elements/
Hg-en.htm#Environmental%20effects%20of%20mercury

Mercury from soils can accumulate in mushrooms.
Acidic surface waters can contain significant amounts of mercury.
When the pH values are between five and seven, the mercury concentrations in the water will increase due to mobilisation of mercury in the ground.

Once mercury has reached surface waters or soils microorganisms can convert it to methyl mercury, a substance that can be absorbed quickly by most organisms and is known to cause nerve damage.

Fish are organisms that absorb great amounts of methyl mercury from surface waters every day.
As a consequence, methyl mercury can accumulate in fish and in the food chains that they are part of.

The effects that mercury has on animals are
kidneys damage, 
stomach disruption, 
damage to intestines, 
reproductive failure and 
DNA alteration.

In late 1990, Interaction Consulting & Enterprise, a hypersensitivity consulting firm, compiled the following information on the influence to human health of Mercury.

 SYMPTOMS
cough,      inflammation of the gums,     loose teeth,
headaches,       irritability,         kidney failure,
tiredness,         fatigue,             tunnel vision,  
loss of appetite,  vomiting,           metallic taste, 
rashes,           dermatitis,               pneumonia,
bronchitis,      chest pains,     shortness of breath,
tremor,       loss of coordination,          insomnia, 
loss of peripheral vision,  discoloration of the iris,
physical & emotional depression, diminished sex drive,
memory loss,   stomach pain   reduced mental capacity.

    • Levels in the brain compare to quantity of amalgam fillings;

    • Mercury is absorbed through the skin, eyes, and by inhalation of mercury gas or injection of substances containing mercury.

    • Mercury influences the function of your blood, kidneys, nerves.

    • Mercury is a highly cumulative systemic poison used in fungicides, insecticides, bactericides, on treated seeds, in dental amalgams.

    • Mercury neutralizes, retards, delays organic synthesis ... including digestion and elimination ... encouraging the accumulation of toxic biological wastes and diminishing nutrition.

    • A minimum of 5% (1990) of North Americans are hypersensitive to mercury in microdoses.

CHRONIC mercury poisoning oftentimes proves more problematic than acute poisoning since its symptoms are vague if at all noticeable and difficult to diagnose.

Citizens for Mercury Free Dentistry note that

MISINFORMATION

Dental fillings are "silver"
Adverse reactions are rare

Silver mercury fillings release do release mercuric vapors, however,
not at levels that are detrimental to individual health.

Dental amalgam is safe for most
of the population because it has
been used for 150 years.

Dentists are trained to look for problems with 'silver amalgams'

------- MEDICAL FACTS -------
INDEX
They are approx. 50% mercury
Chronic low-dose = pathology

The World Health Organization has stated that dental fillings constitute the major source of mercury exposure in the general population and that there is no known 'safe' level of exposure.

Mercury pathology is medical in nature, and dentists are not trained to diagnose mercury poisoning and most physicians would not be aware of the possible pathology.

The Government of Sweden publicly announced the final timetable for the ban on the use of mercury/silver amalgam as a dental filling material as February 18, 1994 !

We have been drawn together by our common experiences with mercury poisoning. Following 'silver' mercury amalgam removal we have collectively received relief from symptoms as diverse as:

heart palpitations,  food & environmental allergies,
numbness of limbs,      visual sensitivity to light, 
digestive disorders,     psychological disturbances, 
memory loss, menstrual problems, migraines, tremors

J. W. Reinhardt (1992) noted the following from autopsy studies:

    • Until recently, there have been few published studies examining the relationship between dental amalgams and tissue mercury levels.

    • Two of the primary target organs of concern are the central nervous system and kidneys.

    • Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between controls (without amalgams) and subjects (with amalgams).

    • Individuals with amalgams had a mean concentration (10 times higher) in their kidney cortex tissue ... than (the) amalgam-free individuals.

    • The dental staff subjects had mean tissue mercury concentrations that were from 5 to 10 times greater than the controls in the occipital cortex (brain), pituitary gland, and kidney ...

    • The Seattle study concluded that urban populations have a greater mercury tissue burden than do rural populations.

    • Subjects with Parkinson's disease had significantly higher mean levels of mercury in (blood, urine, and scalp hair) than did the controls. ... mercury is strongly associated with Parkinson's disease.

    • The Alzheimer's subjects had significantly higher levels of mercury in their microsomes, higher ratios of mercury to selenium in both their nuclei and microsomes, and an elevation of mercury relative to zinc in the microsomes.

    • ... expressed concern ... about the diminished selenium and zinc levels, because these elements help protect biological tissue against mercury toxicity.

[ Perhaps many dentists have such "tunnel vision" and defensiveness against considering mercury toxicity in their patients --- even when 3rd party specialists have diagnosed it --- because they are expressing symptoms of mercury toxicity themselves.]

Mats Hanson, Ph.D., of Sweden (1994) noted the following from his own and other researchers' efforts:

    • ... amalgam (3 different types) placed in synthetic saliva in front of computer screens for 6 hours, corroded and released mercury.

    • ... in Sweden there is now a separate organization solely for individuals who believe their health problems stem from electromagnetic emissions received through the use of computers. This group has also affiliated itself with the Swedish patient organization for victims of mercury intoxication from amalgam dental fillings. Many of the group have had an amelioration of symptoms or complete elimination of their health problems after amalgam replacement with non-mercury-containing materials.

Stephen B. Edelson, M.D. (1995) has provided the following and many other details on his website:

    • The defenders of amalgams (in the mid-1800s) argued that it was safe and cheap.

    • In 1926, a chemist in Germany named Stock brought attention to the release of mercury from the dental amalgam.
      ... From 1926-1943 Dr. Stock published 50 scientific papers on dental amalgams and mercury.
      A very lively debate lasted until after World War II and then quieted down (a second time).

    • ... brushing, eating, chewing, and drinking hot beverages increase mercury release.

    • ... 80% of mercury vapor is absorbed into the bloodstream .... Some animal experiments indicate a direct transport of mercury through peripheral nerves to the (brain).

    • Mercury is retained in (the) brain, nerves, kidneys, liver, and endocrine glands.

    • Mercury's effect on the biochemical level ... DNA damage, alteration of protein structure, alteration of the transport of calcium through calcium channels leading to disruption of the communication between cells, induction of free radical formation (pre-cancerous) and inhibition of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase as well as immune system damage.

    • (the presence of ) tiny amalgam fillings in the mouth ... a significant increase in mercury and antibiotic resistant bacteria ....

    • ... studies recording the improvement or disappearance of long standing symptoms in 70-80% of cases after amalgam removal. After the removal of amalgams there is commonly an acute occurrence or aggravation of symptoms hours or days after. There is a similar set of circumstances occurring during the chelated removal of mercury from the body. Headache, dizziness, depression, muscles and joint pains, tachycardia, diarrhea, and chills are reported. Occasionally, the patient is acutely confused and disoriented. Most symptoms are cured or significantly reduced when removal occurs.

    • ... correlation between "Chronic Fatigue" symptom complex and amalgam patients:
      1. Low grade fever
      2. Sore throat
      3. Painful lymph nodes
      4. Generalized muscle weakness
      5. Fatigue
      6. Headache
      7. Joint pains
      8. Sleep disturbances

A recent study from Sweden has identified mercury problems in 81% of patients with chronic fatigue-like illness.

Marshall and Marshall (1992) have outlined the bio-metallurgical aspects of amalgams in their articles. Some highlights include:

    • Dental amalgam is the most complex metallurgical system used as a biomaterial.
      A clinical amalgam restoration may contain as many as 8-10 distinct phases and microstructural features with distributions and compositions dependent on the specific dental amalgam alloy used, conditions of its preparation and placement, and patient or host characteristics.

    • Its continued popularity is based on its longevity, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness.
      Amalgam restorations can be very durable, and some types have shown survival rates of 80% at 12.5 years in clinical trials.

    • Measurements of the Hg (mercury) content from retrieved amalgams have demonstrated that nearly all of the expected Hg content remains after periods of up to 8 years.

[Longevity appears to range from 8 years (safe) to 12.5 years (marginal).]
How old are your? In older North American adults, many are over 30 years duration; likely outgasing acutely!

Munksgaard (1992) in reviewing health considerations and mercury-silver amalgams wrote the following:

    • The content of mercury in amalgam is a concern, because small amounts of mercury are liberated from the fillings.
      ... It has been shown that there is a 70% conversion in 18 years (leak-out!).
      The surface conversion will cause evaporation of mercury, which will be absorbed after inhalation.

    • There are about 36 elements among the casting alloys and metals used in dentistry (Munksgaard, 1989).
      At least 10 of them have been classified as allergens. Three of them are potentially poisonous (Be, Cd, Hg)

    • Cases of brain damage caused by MMA and intoxication by mercury vapor necessitate that the dental staff should constantly be warned and advised regarding the proper handling of these materials.





PROBLEMS and BENEFITS... Side-Effects ... Cost INDEX

Mjor (1992) :

    • The Medical Device Amendments of 1976 in the US were the first regulations which emphasized the need for biological standardization and testing of dental materials.

    • ** The cost-effectiveness of dental restoration is based on two major factors: the cost at the time of insertion, referred to as the initial cost, and the time the restorations remain functional, which will be referred to as longevity. In deciduous teeth, the maximum longevity of restorations required is about 10 years for posterior teeth and five years for anterior teeth.

    • ... restorative dentistry for adults is mainly a replacement type of therapy.
      As restorations (fillings) are replaced, the cavity becomes larger and larger not only because it needs to include recurrent disease, but also because clinicians tend to "freshen up" the margins of cavity preparations regardless of their quality (Elderton, 1977).

    • ... risk assessments have not been included in the evaluation of the biological effects of dental treatment, ....

    • The clinical symptoms of acute effects were
        • burning sensations in the mouth,
        • swelling,
        • mucosal ulceration, and,
        • itching on the palms of the hands or limbs ...
        • anaphylactic shock.

    • Lichenoid reactions in the oral mucous membrane adjacent to amalgam restorations occurred more often than other long-term side-effects. ... Lichenoid/white or erosive red lesions in the oral mucosa in direct topographical relation to restorations were first associated with large corroding amalgam restorations (Banoczy et al., 1979).

    • Dental materials contain components which are common allergens,
      e.g., chromium, cobalt, mercury, eugenol, components of resin-based materials, colophonium, and formaldehyde.

    • Compacted gold restorations, despite their limited use, are considered to be the longest lasting restorations, estimated by clinicians as 25 years (Christensen, 1971) and recorded as 22 years for restorations in situ (Mjor and Medina, 1991).

    • In a recent literature survey of the longevity of posterior restorations (Mjor at al., 1990), 7-8 years' median longevity were considered representative for amalgam. Maryniuk and Kaplan (1986) have indicated 11 years for 1-3-surface and 6 years for 4-5 surface (sides) amalgams. Qvist et al. (1990a) reported about 8 years' longevity for all amalgam restorations, ...

      Judged on available data, a median longevity of 4 years for posterior composite restorations in general practice appears realistic, while the median longevity of similar amalgams may be more than twice as long (8 years).

    • Dentists asked to estimate the longevity of gold castings indicated that they lasted 20 years, compared with about 14 years for amalgam, slightly less for porcelain inlays, and about 7 years for composites (Christensen, 1971).

    • ... the median longevity for failed amalgam restorations was less than 2 years and that for composite restorations was less than one year, regardless of the type of restoration.

    • ... the total cost for the restoration of ONE posterior tooth (over a 60-year period) would be almost $2,600 for the tooth with initial composite restoration and almost $1,900 for the tooth restored initially with amalgam. Tooth loss will undoubtedly be caused by repeated restoration failures, including the patient's inability to cover the cost of extensive and repeated treatment.

    • ... compacted gold in a more favorable position from an economical point of view, but indications for their use are limited. Composites have the advantage that they are "tooth saving", because retention is achieved by acid-etching of enamel rather than by prepared undercuts and grooves.

Lucas and Lemons (1992) discuss the properties of dental filling alloys in their article. Some of their findings include:

    • The gold-based alloys have been used longer than any of the other alloys and are referred to as noble alloys, ....

    • The alloys contain gold, silver, copper, platinum, palladium, and zinc (Tesk, 1986).
      The corrosion resistance of the alloys is due to the high thermodynamic stability of the gold in the alloys (Marek, 1986).

    • Base Metal/Alloys
      ... include nickel, cobalt, copper, iron, or titanium (which) are not as thermodynamically stable (as noble alloys), and a major aspect of their corrosion resistance is related to the formation of a thin, protective oxide film (passive film) on the surface of the metal. If the oxide film is disrupted, then the metal or the alloy must repassivate in order for the material to be protected.

    • Titanium is one of the most corrosion-resistant materials used for biomedical applications. ... However, it should be pointed out that the oxide film is not sufficiently stable to prevent galling and seizing under loading conditions (Williams, 1981).

A Citizens for Mercury Free Dentistry advisory sheet notes the following:

    • It is very important that you are not harmfully exposed to the mercury when each filling is removed.
      The IAOMT (International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology) has developed a protocol "Reducing Mercury Exposure to the Patient During Amalgam Removal" ... The majority of dental practitioners are NOT aware of these protocols because they lack formal training on amalgam removal.

    • If you choose gold as a replacement material all amalgam fillings should be removed BEFORE any gold is placed.
      Gold increases the release of mercury. (This applies to caps, crowns, bridges and other dental appliances.)

    • Amalgam can be under crowns and bridges.

    • Know the composition of the replacement material you choose.
      Some types of plastic (composite resin or ceramic resin) contain metals like barium, aluminum and mercury.
      Porcelain may contain nickel and other metal oxides. Low gold may be high nickel. High gold may contain nickel and other non-precious metals.

    • Your body needs time between removals to assist in expelling any mercury you are exposed to during removal.

Harte, Holdren, Schneider, and Shirley warn of non-dental mercury hazards:

    • Mercury is listed as a hazardous air pollutant in the 1990 USA Clean Air Act;

    • Mercury vapor is more hazardous than liquid mercury because it can be inhaled and is easily absorbed into the bloodstream;

    • Bacteria easily converts mercury from composite substances (paints, anti-mildew agents, batteries) into far more hazardous organic forms ... methylmercury ....

    • Inorganic mercury ... (is) converted by bacteria in freshwater and seawater and in sediments to organic methylmercury (which) is rapidly absorbed by fish (dimethyl-to-monomethlymercury) thus raising the level in fish;

    • Selenium in seawater provides partial protection (to fish) against mercury's effects;

    • Freshwater fish have slightly higher levels of mercury accumulation than marine species;

    • Pike, trout, and bass are the freshwater varieties tending to have the highest concentrations;

    • Shrimp, snapper, and halibut are the marine species most frequently consumed having the highest levels;

    • Various species of algae are also affected;

    • Can readily pass through the placenta of pregnant women (to the fetus) ... and through the blood-brain barrier into the brain;

    • Health Effects (include)
      1. memory losses,
      2. tremors,
      3. emotional instability (anxiety and irritability),
      4. insomnia, and
      5. loss of appetite
      characterize milder exposures;

    • At moderate exposures, more significant mental disorders and motor disturbances, as well as kidney damage ...

    • The milder effects of mercury vapor appear to reverse after exposure is stopped, with the muscular disorders improving sooner than the mental ones;

    • Evidence does show a higher rate of spontaneous abortions and other complications of pregnancy (from mercury toxicity);

    • Mildest cases of (methylmercury) poisoning show nonspecific symptoms, such as
      1. malaise,
      2. blurred vision, and
      3. pins-and-needles tingling;

    • Symptoms usually appear after a latency period of a few weeks to months during chronic low-level exposures or following acute high-level exposure;

    • More severe cases show
      1. constriction of vision,
      2. diminished hearing,
      3. speech disorders, and
      4. shaky movements and unsteady gaits;

    • Consumption of several grams of mercury compounds can cause death by kidney failure, and smaller doses over longer times can lead to kidney and nerve damage ...

    • The most severe cases show mental derangement and coma, with death the frequent outcome.

page 2, Man in his infinite wisdom has always been capable of doing things in the name of "progress" without due regard to the impact and effect his acts or creations have on life in later years or generations of the species.

page 11 (from Dr. Alfred Stock's 1926 article)

"Dentistry should completely avoid the use of amalgam for fillings or at least not use it whenever this is possible.
There is no doubt that many symptoms: tiredness, depression, irritability, vertigo, weak memory, mouth inflammations, diarrhea, loss of appetite and chronic catarrhs often are caused by mercury which the body is exposed to from amalgam fillings, in small amounts, but continuously. Doctors should give this fact their serious consideration. It will then likely be found that the thoughtless introduction of amalgam as a filling material for teeth was a severe sin against humanity."

HEALTH, TEETH, and, MERCURY TOXICITY, Research Facts)
http://www.thanks2god.info/A04-AF4H/merc-index.html#merc-index

There are few well documented and described instances of individuals acquiring mercury poisoning, coping with the devastating symptoms, interacting with the health care bureaucracy, and, recovering. Below are LINKS to a set of online pages that may encourage others to become more aware of their own health and that of those they care about. This scenario is one that continues to expand in popularity, largely through the policies and training of North American physicians, the denial of politicians, and the fear of the media to expose the reality to the public. Twenty years after the history experienced, little has changed.

Most of the afflicted are too ill and lack the self-direction and education to cope with their predicament.
Many of the support persons and friends that surround them place their faith in the representatives of the health care industry and believe that if the problem was dramatic and desperate enough it would receive more media, political, and professional attention ... and be resolved. And, that is a part of this epidemic. Most of those afflicted fade away into the social background under the weight and confusion of their symptoms. They die.

Mercury toxicity is not contagious. INDEX
Instances of it will not spread rapidly through the population. Neither will most of its victims die dramatic deaths. If they do, there will be much easy rationalization of what they died from. Most often, their death certificate will read a cause of death as a chronic illness, a cancer, a complication from mental illness, suicide, old age, or a drug overdose or complication without reference to WHY they were using the drugs. Their usual disappearance will often follow a period during which those they worked with experienced their gradual falling away from employment and social activities. Frequently, marriages will erupt in miscommunication, acting out, many forms of abuse, traumatized children, divorce, and, sometimes, violence. Typically, easy and insincere rationalizations will blame these victims for becoming ill and becoming useless. Their presence will become an absence.

Yet their absence will open the door to even more persons repeating their often emotionally painful, physically dimininishing, and spiritually deadening slide into an abyss of abandonment. Most of the countries of Europe have long ago acknowledged, accepted, and made efforts to minimize this scourge of civilization. But not in North America where currency buys power, silence, obedience ... to authorities who seek to maintain control over the economy. You could become one of these losers. If you don't know what it is, where it comes from, and how you can survive ... you will likely die a slow death with your energy and consciousness bleeding out of you. Or, maybe it will be your spouse, a parent, or one or more of your children who succumb, just like others are.

Ignorance, fear, and pride are the lovers of heavy metal and nutritional toxicities.
It is YOUR Choice whether to be Free and Healthy, or, to become or remain an obedient economic slave ... like the guards of every concentration camp .. just doing their job, until their their charges die.

Article: 9 Steps to Detox from Mercury Fillings. INDEX
http://customers.hbci.com/~wenonah/new/9steps.htm --- 2000-09-28

    Contact: Dietrich Klinghardt, M.D., PhD.,
    American Academy of Neural Therapy,
    Phone: 206–749–9967, fax 206–723–1367
    www.neurotherapy.com 


Prescribe for Yourself – You Must Learn To Be Your Own Best Doctor.

Eight amalgams in a single mouth can release 3–17 mcg of mercury per day.

1 mcg of mercury contains 120,827,403,000,000,000,000 atoms.
Each mercury atom can potentially destroy a nerve cell or lymphocyte blood cell.
Lymphocytes are the "back-bone" of our body's immune system.


Preparation
Two months before the removal of the fillings, obtain a hair analysis to assess your mineral levels and supplement any minerals that are low. "Pay special attention to your levels of sodium and chloride, which typically are low in mercury–toxic patients," says Dr. Klinghardt.

Chlorella
The main agent used in the detoxification process is chlorella algae, which have been proven to bind with and remove toxic metals from the body. Take it at your highest comfortable tolerance level, advises Dr. Klinghardt. Chlorella supplementation can range from half a capsule to a maximum of 14 capsules daily, depending on individual tolerance. Too high a dose will cause symptoms of nausea, heartburn, diarrhea, and headache. For the first eight days, take the chlorella with meals at your maximum tolerance level, dividing it into small doses throughout the day. On days nine and ten, take ten times your usual dose, but not more than 60 capsules in a single day. Days 11 and 12 are a "rest" period and no chlorella should be taken on these days. The following day, begin the 12–day cycle again.

Garlic
Garlic contains compounds called sulfhydryl groups, which aid in the detoxification process by transporting mercury through the body, especially the kidneys, according to Dr. Klinghardt. For proper garlic supplementation, you must first determine your highest tolerance level for the herb. Dr. Klinghardt suggests using the "smell detection level" as a general guide: If you can smell the garlic on your breath, you're taking too much. As with chlorella, garlic should be taken in divided doses, with meals.

Cilantro INDEX
Studies have shown that cilantro or coriander (Chinese parsley) can help move mercury and other toxic metals out of the central nervous system for excretion through the urine or feces. To increase your intake of cilantro, Dr. Klinghardt suggests making this "pesto" to increase your intake of cilantro: Start with fresh, organic cilantro and wash it thoroughly. Place the cilantro in blender, along with water, sea salt and olive oil. Blend the ingredients until creamy. Dr. Klinghardt recommends taking 1–3 tbsp of this cilantro pesto, three times daily with meals. For those suffering from neurological problems, such as Alzheimer's or brain "fogginess" and difficulty concentrating, the pesto may be taken more often, he says.

High–protein diet
"A high protein diet is essential to mercury detoxification," says Dr. Klinghardt.

Colonics
Have a colonic irrigation once weekly, as this helps in the elimination of mercury via the feces.
When doing the protocol in conduction with chelation therapy (see below), increase frequency to twice weekly.

Additional supplements INDEX
Other helpful nutritional supplements include vitamin C and magnesium, which shorten the amount of time it takes for feces to pass through the bowel ( this prevents excreted mercury from being reabsorbed by the body through the intestine); vitamin E; thioctic acid; and N–acetyl–cysteine.

On the day of mercury amalgam removal, take 20 capsules of chlorella immediately before the procedure. Following removal, open an additional two capsules and sprinkle the contents directly on your teeth, Dr. Klinghardt instructs. Keep the chlorella in your mouth for about ten minutes, to absorb any metal residues; after ten minutes, spit out the chlorella and rinse your mouth with water. Repeat this step that night as well. The following day, resume the regular program,

8 amalgams in a single mouth can release 3–17 mcg of mercury per day Chelation
As a final step in eliminating residual mercury from the cells, chelation therapy is required to bind up the mercury and carry it out of the body. Dr. Klinghardt recommends that the chelating ( "binding" ) agent DMPS be used as soon as possible following mercury amalgam removal. The assistance of a professional dentist is required for this step.

This detoxification protocol should be continued until all symptoms of mercury toxicity have been eliminated, says Dr. Klinghardt. In some cases, this may take up to three or four years, although many have successfully completed the detoxification process in a shorter period of time.

Energizing Soak
This stimulating herbal bath is especially good for an energy boost after a long day.

3 tbsp dried nettle
3 tbsp dried red clover blossoms
2 tbsp dried peppermint
5 drops peppermint essential oil
5 drops rosemary essential oil
1 tsp distilled witch hazel

Place the dried herbs in the center of a piece of cloth like a cotton handkerchief.
Gather the corners of the cloth together and tie with a piece of string, making a loop large enough to fit over your bathtub faucet.

Hang this herbal "teabag" from the faucet so that the bathwater runs through it.
While you wait for the tub to fill, dilute the essential oils with the witch hazel to prevent any skin sensitivity to the concentrated oil. When the tub is full, add the essential oil mixture. ( Oils will dissipate too quickly if added while the hot water is still running. ) Swirl the water around with your hand to disperse the oils. Place the herbal teabag in the tub.

Dry–Brush Your Body
To enhance the effect of the bath, Vukovic recommends dry brushing your entire body before you step into the bathtub. Once you have entered the tub, soak for 15–20 minutes, adding additional hot water as needed to maintain a constant water temperature. For an increased energizing effect, follow this bath with a cold shower.

On the day of amalgam removal, vitamin C should not be taken until after the procedure otherwise, it may interfere with anesthesia.




Protocol: Mercury Detoxicfication, Mercola. INDEX
http://www.mercola.com/article/mercury/detox%5Fprotocol.htm
NO date or author available in text or page code.

1. Diet
Avoid all sugar and milk, limit all processed foods and most grains, especially wheat. ...

It will be important to have a high protein diet as the sulfur bearing amino acids in the protein will greatly facilitate detoxification. Do NOT attempt to fast during DMPS mercury detoxification. If you are a vegetarian you will be at HIGH risk for complications from DMPS unless you have a large amount of protein.

Whey protein can be used as a supplement as it is high in glutathione and branched chain amino acids.
Two large tablespoons are used per drink and that can be taken once a day and twice a day for the week prior to DMPS chelation.

Autistic children can't use this product as it contains casein.
They can use pure branched chain amino acids.
You can start with one capsule twice daily and mix with food.
Work up to two capsules twice a day for the week prior to DMPS chelation.

2. Beneficial Bacteria
Take one quarter to one half teaspoon once a day of a high potency high quality strain.
It is vital to have an optimized bowel flora for detoxification.

3. Maintain two to three bowel movements per day
If you are not having this many bowel movements make certain that your thyroid status has been checked.
It is very common for mercury to affect the thyroid.
If your thyroid function is fine then you should add some magnesium.

If you are on long-term magnesium it is important to take some calcium with it or after awhile you will develop an imbalance in your calcium magnesium ratio which could result in severe cramping.

Freshly ground flax seed several teaspoons per day will facilitate intestinal movement and also contribute some healthy essential fatty acids.

4. Unload the connective tissue with Chlorella or ProChitosan INDEX
Chlorella and ProChitosan are an important part of the detoxification program, as approximately 90% of the mercury in our bodies is eliminated through the stool. Chlorella is an algae and, unlike Protchitosan, has protein high levels of chlorophyll and other nutrients which can be used for nourishment.

The chlorella powder is the most cost effective approach but some people will prefer the tablets or capsules for convenience. A simple way to dissolve the powder is to place it in a container with a lid partially filled with water. Then tighten the lid and shake to dissolve and drink the solution.

Caution: About 30% of people can't tolerate chlorella.
This may be due to optimized function of the enzyme cellulase.
If you are unable to tolerate this it would be wise to consider adding an enzyme with cellulase in it to help digest the chlorella.

Dose: One can start out with a one quarter of a teaspoon of the powder (one 500 mg tablet) once a day initially to confirm that there is no hypersensitivity present. Work up slowly over one to two weeks to a dose of one teaspoon (ten tablets or capsules) per day. Once you tolerate this dose you are able to use it to bind the mercury.

Use this dose starting two days prior to your chelation and for one day afterwards.
The chlorella will thoroughly coat your intestine and bind like a sponge to any mercury that the DMPS liberates into the gut.

The above dose is based on a 150 pound adult.
If you are using the program for children reduce the dose proportionately.
(So a 30 pound child would have have 30/150 or 1/5 (20%) of the dose).


Caution: If at any time one develops nausea or starts "burping up" the chlorella taste then the chlorella should be stopped immediately as a food sensitivity is developing which will only worsen if you continue taking it. If this happens you should switch to ProChitosan. This binds similarly to mercury. Its dose is dependent on your bowel movements.

If you have one bowel movement a day or less you should start two days prior to the DMPS.
If you have two or more bowel movements, you can start 24 hours prior to the DMPS.
Stay on it for 24 hours after the DMPS. So you will be on it either two or three days.
The dose is two capsules 3 times a day. Be sure to drink it with plenty of water and increase magnesium if constipation develops.

Porphrazyme from Biotics Research is another alternative to chlorella that many clinicians have had success with in mercury detoxification.

5. Start Garlic or MSM INDEX
It would be wise to start on garlic regularly to enhance sulfur stores.
Use the food, rather than the supplement garlic.
Try to get in 3 cloves per day, but decrease the dose if your odor becomes socially offensive.

Again, as indicated in the chlorella section above, children will have proportionately lower doses.

MSM is a form of sulfur which will help your body to remove the mercury.
The initial dose is one capsule twice a day. Increase by one capsule a day until you are at 3 capsules twice a day.
If you have root canals and are chronically sick you may want to increase to five capsules three times a day.

6. Start Cilantro
Cilantro will help mobilize mercury out of the tissue so the DMPS can attach to it and allow it to be excreted from the body.
The best form of cilantro is a tincture available from Dragon River (505-583-2348).

The dose is one dropper applied on the wrists and rubbed in twice a day for the two weeks preceding the DMPS IV.
It is used the morning prior to the DMPS chelation but can be stopped for the following two weeks.
The tincture is also particularly useful for any joint pain and could be rubbed on the joint that is hurting as an alternative.

You can also augment the tincture with using the herb.
It is not as potent, but certainly will add to the program.
However, like chlorella, many people are sensitive to oral cilantro.
So, if you develop any nausea or discomfort after eating cilantro do not use it orally.

7. Mineral Replacement INDEX
It is important to have a generally healthy mineral base.
The body works better with toxic metals than no metals at all.
Enzymes have certain binding sites that require a metal for them to perform their function as a catalyst.
When you are deficient in magnesium, sodium, zinc and other minerals, the body does not let go of the toxic metals very easily.

Selenium and zinc are particularly important trace minerals in mercury detoxification and should be used for most people.

Generally the citrate form of minerals works quite nicely unless one has a low blood phosphorous level.
It is important to not take copper or iron though unless a clinician has examined a hair analysis and or blood work and recommended these minerals. Thorne Research has Citramins II which is citrated minerals without copper or iron.

Hydrochloric Acid:
If you do not have a sufficient amount of hydrochloric acid secreted by your stomach then it will be very difficult to ionize mineral supplements to absorb them properly. There is a hydrochloric acid reflex present on the lowest rib approximately one inch lateral to the midline. If this area on the rib is tender to palpation there is a strong likelihood the person is deficient in hydrochloric acid and would benefit from supplementation.

This is especially common in individuals over 50 years old, and also in individuals with food allergies.
One to 6 capsules or more of Betaine hydrochloride is generally taken with the first bite of every meal for proper digestive support. The Betaine can be discontinued once the reflex point in non-tender to deep palpation.

Monitoring Your Mineral Dosing
It will be very important to monitor your mineral levels during the detoxification program.
This should be done initially and at least every 6-12 weeks. I only recommend two labs to do this work.
Trace Elements and Analytical Research as they are the only two labs that do not wash the hair samples prior to analysis.

8. Digestion and Gall Bladder Support for Autism INDEX
Liver and gallbladder congestion are major issues in states of toxicity.
To insure that your gallbladder bile flow is functional add magnesium taurate or taurine, butyric acid (Butryex 559-433-3110)

The dose of the Butyrex initially is 1/8-1/4 of capsule.
Gradually increase the dose to 5 capsules 3 times daily.
The Butyrex has an offensive odor which is lessened by keeping it in the freezer.
Additionally inserting the powder in applesauce, raw honey or elderberry cough syrup may improve compliance.

Digestive enzymes (containing lipase) and CCK (stimulates contraction of the gall bladder) can be used one hour after meals containing fat. CCK is taken after dinner (high fat meal).

  • young children 1/4 tablet
  • older children 1/2 tablet
  • teenagers 1 tablet
  • adults 2 to 4 tablets

    Your ability to clear toxins will be impaired if you do not have proper fats to support digestive function.
    Your diet should contain adequate fat from unprocessed pure oils. ...

    • sunflower
    • safflower
    • sesame

      OR fats naturally found in foods:

    • seeds
    • nuts
    • avocado
    • free range organic poultry, eggs, or meats


9. Antioxidants INDEX
Vitamin C and E.
It would be wise to take Unique vitamin E one capsule per day and about 250-500 mg of vitamin C with each meal.
If you are exercising aggressively you can take 1000 mg of C 15-30 minutes prior to exercising.
It is also wise to consider adding 2-4,000 mg of Vitamin C powder to a half gallon of water and drinking that throughout the day.

It will be VERY important to take 2000 units (typically five of the 400 unit capsules) of vitamin E the day of and the day after the DMPS injection as this will decrease the side effects of the detoxification reaction considerably. You can also take 1-2 grams of vitamin C immediately prior to the DMPS injection.

10. Start Monthly DMPS Injections, Suppositories or Transdermal
You should not have DMPS if you still have amalgam fillings.
If they have been removed the injections can be started on a monthly basis.
Collection of the urine is then down to analyze how much mercury is being excreted.
One must urinate completely prior to the injection.

I perform the analysis at 90 minutes as that is most convenient, but others do four or 24 hour collections.
The DMPS injections are generally given about six times or until the level drops into single digits or you are feeling better.

For pediatric patients
... I don't recommend DMSA mercury chelation.
Since an IV is such a traumatic event for most children it is probably wise to use a rectal suppository version of DMPS which is available from most compounding pharmacists. Another alternative is to apply the dose transdermally with DMSO. This is very similar to the way that the hormone secretion is being used for many autistic patients.

The dose is 5 mg of DMPS per kg of body weight and is generally given once a month.
The urine collection for pediatric patients incorporates a bag to collect the urine for mercury analysis.

11. DMPS Alternative
Some people do not tolerate DMPS well.
This is especially true for those who have damage in the central nervous system, such as those with MS or ALS or children with fragile brain architecture. If this is the case there are several options.

PCA (peptid clathrating agent) spray can be used.
The dose is 4 sprays under the tongue every day or every other day. ...




Protocol: Detoxifying your body from Mercury Exposure, Rev. INDEX
https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/
archive/2013/01/13/mercury-detoxification-protocol.aspx
January 13, 2013 --- By Dr. Mercola

    Story at-a-glance

    • Your body is designed to detoxify mercury and other heavy metals.
      An impaired metabolism can lead to mercury toxicity

    • Your two principal sources of mercury exposure are inorganic mercury from dental amalgams and methylmercury from seafood consumption; these two types of mercury differ in their toxicity levels, biological effects and detoxification pathways

    • Traditional mercury testing that only relies on blood, urine or hair is riddled with problems, but a new test that combines all three methods is far more accurate. The new test uses mercury speciation (the separation of different forms of mercury during analysis, which tells you what types of mercury you have on board, from what sources, and which of your natural detoxification pathways may not be working properly

    • My revised mercury detoxification protocol is presented in detail; this protocol, incorporating the work of Dr. Chris Shade, supports your glutathione system and all of the enzymes and transporter proteins that must be working properly if your body is to efficiently cleanse itself of mercury

Mercury Marches into Your Body and Takes Prisoners

Mercury's toxicity is related to inappropriate binding — it's never a "free agent."
Instead, mercury is always paired with a ligand, a molecule or group of molecules that binds to other molecules to form a larger complex. Mercury's favorite ligand is sulfur, especially a reduced form called a thiol. Thiols are found throughout your body for example, cysteine and the super-antioxidant glutathione. Enzymes use beneficial metals for their activity and hold those metals in place with thiol groups.

But mercury has a far higher affinity for the thiols than do beneficial metals like zinc. How much greater?

In the case of zinc, a billion times!
This means mercury fiercely grabs onto these groups and refuses to let go, depriving you of the good metals and stopping your normal biological processes in their tracks. Mercury will also grab onto cell membranes, which leads to shattering of the membranes, vascular leakage, and subsequent "spackling" of the damage with cholesterol.

A Two-Headed Dragon: Toxicity and Inflammation INDEX
It's an interesting fact that some people with high mercury exposure don't become toxic, yet others with relatively low exposure do. Why is this? Why does one person get really sick from her amalgams while another is perfectly fine?

The difference lies in your ability to detoxify naturally.
You already have a system in place for removing mercury and other heavy metals from your body.
Mercury's half-life can range from 40 to 120 days, and the faster you can clear it out, the less you'll be affected.

It's important to realize that people are either slow detoxifiers or fast detoxifiers, and a small genetic subset are super slow detoxifiers. If you are in the super slow group, your detox system is significantly impaired and the result can be mercury overload. How quickly you detoxify on your own depends on a several factors, such as your exposure level, genetic makeup, genetic expression, and overall health. For example, if your progesterone levels are low, you can't detoxify as well, and unfortunately, decreased progesterone levels are common today.

Additionally, people who are hypersensitive to metals will have toxic effects at much lower levels than other people.
When it comes to the buildup of heavy metals in your body, the news is all bad. Heavy metal toxicity produces a wide range of adverse biological effects.

Your brain is a primary target for heavy metals, which results in many neurological symptoms, including depression and anxiety, irritability and memory loss. Mercury overload can even lead to major neurological conditions like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease.

Heavy metals also target your kidneys, liver, heart, pituitary and thyroid glands, and increase your risk for developing type 2 diabetes. In fact, a mercury detoxification protocol can significantly improve insulin sensitivity and metabolic syndrome. Mercury, especially from dental amalgams, can accumulate heavily in your digestive tract where it attaches to your gut epithelium.

Amalgams BATHE Your Brain and Digestive Tract in Mercury
Besides creating a significant environmental burden, the biological damage from amalgams is two-fold.
Mercury vapor emitted from amalgams passes readily through your cell membranes, across your blood-brain barrier, and into your central nervous system where it causes immunological, neurological, and psychological problems.

At the same time, mercury is leaching into your saliva and being swallowed, making its way down your digestive tract where it causes inflammation and damages your immune system — because the frontline of your immune system is in your gut. This blocks one of your body's major detoxification pathways: passage out of your GI tract.

Additionally, mercury shuts off the ability of your liver and kidneys to move mercury into your gut for elimination.
So, if you have amalgams in your mouth, you are bathing your digestive tract AND your brain in mercury every day, poisoning your brain while at the same time blocking its route out of the body... the perfect recipe for mercury poisoning.

How do you know if mercury toxicity is a problem for you?
Well, if you have a mouthful of amalgams and a laundry list of health challenges, chances are mercury is a factor.
According to Dr. Shade, there is 2,000 times more mercury coating the inside of the mouth (and thus the whole GI tract) of people who have amalgams than in those who don't. The only way to know for sure whether you are accumulating mercury is to have yourself tested. But before you do this, there are some important items you need to know.

What You Need to Know about Mercury Testing INDEX
Traditional mercury testing involves testing either your hair, blood, urine, or stool.
Challenge tests that implement a chelating chemical, such as DMPS or DMSA, are also commonly used.
However, all of these tests have drawbacks. They primarily measure total mercury load — and inaccurately at that. But most importantly they don't give you any information about the forms of mercury in your system or how efficiently you are getting rid of them.

Traditional mercury tests don't answer questions like, how much of your mercury load is from the seafood you eat? How much from amalgams? How well are your kidneys and liver eliminating it?

The two principal forms of mercury accumulate differently in your body, and are eliminated by different pathways.
For example, mercury levels in your hair only reflect the mercury from the fish you eat. But mercury levels in your urine reflect the mercury coming from your dental fillings (plus some of the fish-based methylmercury that has broken down into inorganic mercury). The only way to determine if there is a problem is to compare your hair and urine levels with levels in your blood. So, if mercury testing is to be meaningful, it must measure both of the following:

1. Exposure level:
Overall mercury level for each of the two main forms of mercury (methylmercury, related to your fish/seafood consumption, and inorganic mercury, related to dental amalgam exposure)

2. Excretion ability:
How well your body is getting rid of each kind of mercury, regardless of your overall mercury level


A newer testing method called "mercury speciation "does just this — it measures both of these factors. This test uses blood, urine and hair to give you a more comprehensive picture of how your body is eliminating mercury and where the process may be blocked. This information can be immensely helpful in preparing a successful detoxification plan. For more information about mercury speciation testing, refer to my recent interview with Dr. Shade.

Your Body's Natural Detoxification System: The Glutathione Machine INDEX
Toxicity is not just the level of a toxin — it's your body's response to a toxin, which depends on the strength of your natural detoxification system. Many people don't understand that your body comes with its own built-in detoxification system. It's a common myth that once you ingest mercury, it stays in your body forever. Your body has a system to efficiently remove mercury and other heavy metals, as long as your detoxification system is working properly. The problem is, many of you have one that's broken, and one of the principal causes is inflammation. Your genetic makeup is another factor. As Dr. Shade says:

"Your genes load the gun, and the environment pulls the trigger."

The glutathione "supersystem" is your body's main detoxification system.
Glutathione binds to heavy metals, but it doesn't do it alone — it requires the assistance of enzymes, antioxidants, and transport proteins.

Old age, impaired genetics, poor diet, and toxic exposures of all kinds — aflatoxin, chloroform, DDT, organic nitrates, radiation, and others — impair your glutathione system. Some people try to supplement with glutathione or its precursors and expect the system to jump up to speed but for the most part this doesn't work very well as typically this is done orally with non-liposomal forms or done with IV glutathione, which is very expensive, inconvenient, and only marginally more effective. A far more effective strategy is to upregulate the expression of the genes that produce the enzymes and transport proteins that assist glutathione in doing its job.

Efficient detoxification depends on a series of seamless reactions that bind toxins to shuttle molecules and "escort" them out through a series of doors. Specifically, in order for your glutathione detoxification system to operate well, it requires the following three elements. If you have a shortage of any one of these three key elements, your cells lose their resistance to mercury, so it can accumulate and make you sick:

1. Glutathione in your cells:
Your body has to manufacture most of its own glutathione (biosynthesis), so it needs adequate building blocks

2. Glutathione s-transferase (GST):
An enzyme responsible for prying the mercury OFF the cellular proteins, then linking it TO the glutathione in the cell

3. Transport proteins:
A series of transport proteins (multi drug resistant proteins, or MRPs) are responsible for getting the conjugated mercury out of your cells and into your blood, as well as from your blood into your liver and small intestine, and into other places so it can be eliminated. ...


Overall CAUTION
It is important to realize that mercury detoxification is a marathon and NOT a sprint.
You do NOT want to do this quickly. Even if you believe you are healthy you want to start this process SLOWLY as you could easily cause severe flare ups. I am one of the healthiest people I know and when I did my program I did it over six months. Some people may need to do it far more slowly and may need a few years to effectively eliminate the mercury safely. ...

I. Boosting Your Glutathione Production INDEX
The first requirement for effective mercury detoxification is boosting your glutathione levels.
Most forms of oral glutathione are not effective because they are destroyed in the digestive process.
But you can consume foods that contain the precursors of glutathione so that your body can make more of it — specifically, cysteine-rich foods. The absolute best source is high quality whey protein. This whey must come from the "clean" milk of organically raised cows, and not have been overly processed, which denatures the fragile proteins.

Just be careful not to consume too much of the whey.
For more information on whey, please refer to my interview with Ori Hofmekler, an expert on the health benefits of whey protein. The video below is older than this article but my new position is to be careful with your protein intake and limit the amount you are using.
LINK: http://mercola.fileburst.com/PDF/
ExpertInterviewTranscripts/InterviewOri-on-Whey-Protein.pdf

Additionally, you may want to try liposomal glutathione.
Liposomal glutathione is a relatively new form of oral glutathione that is actually well absorbed and eliminates nearly all the concerns previously mentioned with oral glutathione. It's encapsulated into extremely tiny phospholipid particles, which increase its bioavailability 100-fold.

II. Mobilizing Mercury by Boosting Enzymes and Transport Proteins INDEX
Now that your glutathione levels are up, you can work on building up the other parts of your glutathione system — specifically, enzymes and transport proteins. Your natural production of these factors can be augmented with superfoods.

Plants contain thousands of natural chemicals (phytochemicals) that help your body to work properly, including production of enzymes and antioxidants. One group of phytochemicals is the polyphenol group, which actually helps activate health-promoting genes. Polyphenols are abundant in a wide range of fruits and vegetables.

Polyphenols are a very large class of antioxidants.
You may be familiar with antioxidant buzz words like quercetin, lignins, flavonoids, and/or resveratrol.
These are all example of subclasses or specific examples of polyphenols. Thinking in terms of chemistry, the polyphenols all have similar ring-shaped structures, but you can tell them apart by the number of rings and by the other molecules that are attached to those rings. Thus, polyphenols are grouped into four different categories based on those differences: phenolic acids, flavonoids, stilbenes, and lignans.

    Polyphenol group Foods
    • Black Elderberry
    • Black Chokeberry
    • Blackcurrant
    • Highbush blueberry
    • Globe artichoke heads
    • Coffee, filtered
    • Lowbush Blueberry
    • Sweet Cherry
    • Strawberry
    • Blackberry
    • Plum
    • Red Raspberry
    • Flaxseed Meal
    • Dark Chocolate
    • Chestnut
    • Black Tea
    • Green Tea
    • Pure Apple Juice
    • Apple
    • Whole Grain Rye Bread
LINK: http://mikeroussell.com/top-25-highest-polyphenol-rich-foods/
LINK 2: https://www.verywell.com/what-are-polyphenols-2507085

Phenolic acids include compounds found in coffee, tea, grapes, red wine, berries, kiwi fruits, plums, apples, and cherries, as well as other fruits and veggies, and even grain and corn.

Since phenolic acids are abundant in the diet and readily absorbed through the walls of your intestinal tract, you shouldn’t have much trouble consuming enough of them. In general, phenolic acids work as antioxidants but they also appear to promote anti-inflammatory conditions in your body.

Sulfur-based phytonutrients are particularly important in supporting your glutathione system, since glutathione is a sulfur-based molecule. Therefore, you should consume vegetables from the cruciferous family (cabbage, garlic, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, collards, radishes, wasabi, etc.), which are rich in sulfur. Fermenting these vegetables is the most nutritious way to consume them.

Garlic is especially powerful, but it's the oil of the garlic that supports detoxification, not the allicin (which is the compound known for its antimicrobial effect). And you want the smelly kind of garlic — deodorized garlic is useless for detox! Either eat the garlic raw (yes, you have to chew it up), or purchase a garlic oil supplement. Some of the other compounds recommended by Dr. Shade include:

Haritaki (Terminalia chebula) extract:
An Ayurvedic fruit used extensively in Tibetan medicine, called the "King of Herbs;" it has potent effects on your glutathione system and on expression of other intracellular antioxidants, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD)

Sodium R-lipoic Acid:
The most bioavailable and active form of alpha-lipoic acid; also good for increasing insulin sensitivity and treating type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, liver disease, and mitochondrial dysfunction

Lumbrokinase: a enzyme derived from earthworms

Pine Bark Extract:
One of the most potent polyphenolic antioxidants; has been found to prolong the activity of vitamin C in your body; good as an adjunct to vitamins C, E and lipoic acid


Your approach with these agents should be to gradually titrate the dose upward to a high therapeutic level, then back it down.
It's best to "pulse" the treatments because your body can't sustain upregulation for very long.
You will be more productive with shorter bursts at an appropriately stout therapeutic dose.
This means taking the treatments for a few days, followed by a few days off.
Dr. Shade suggests cycling your treatments on the schedule of five days on, two days off (to start), working up to 10 days on, four days off. He instructs, never go more than 10 days on when upregulating your detoxification system.

Ideally, this should be done with the assistance of a healthcare professional trained in heavy metal detoxification who can help you decide on an optimal dose and schedule. If you begin to feel worse, you may be titrating up too quickly.

III. Capturing and Eliminating Mercury with Intestinal Binders INDEX

You do NOT want to mobilize mercury without making sure it has an escape route out of your body!

Once the mercury is in your intestine, you need something to bind it and pull it away from your intestinal wall, and for this we use something called an intestinal binder. Intestinal binders help carry the mobilized toxins out, which prevents them from building up in your bloodstream where they can end up making you sicker.

Binders prevent you from absorbing or reabsorbing the toxic agent, but they also help prevent intestinal inflammation. If your intestine becomes inflamed, the traffic stops because the transport proteins are shut off. That causes toxins to back up into your liver and kidneys, and blood. Removing mercury from your gut will also help prevent dysbiosis, which is at the root of a mind-blowing array of health problems.

Thiol Resins
There are several types of intestinal binders, but only a couple of them work well for grabbing mercury.
Dr. Shade's favorite binder is thiol resin, because it's the most specific to heavy metals (mercury, lead and arsenic) and produces high rates of excretion. Thiol resins have a powerful attraction for mercury.

Chlorella
Another good binder for heavy metals is chlorella. Dr. Shade suggests working up to 50 to 70 tablets per day, which is a lot of chlorella. Please work up to that level gradually. Other binders you'll hear about are clay/zeolites, and pectin. For mercury, these bind very weakly, and you would have to take enormous quantities for many years to see any benefit so I don't recommend them.

If you haven't yet had your amalgams removed, you may find rinsing with a binding agent helpful.
Chlorella, activated charcoal, or N-acetyl cysteine can be prepared as a mouthwash where it binds to the mercury coating your oral epithelium. Levels of mercury can be very high in this rinse — make sure you don't swallow it.

Beneficial Bacteria
Dr. Natasha Campbell McBride believes that one of the most potent detoxifiers of mercury and heavy metals are beneficial bacteria. Their cell membranes tend to bind very effectively to the metals and they are typically excreted in the stool. One of the best ways to provide your body with this resource is with fermented vegetables. ...

What's Lurking in Your Silver Fillings?

It's estimated that 75 percent of Americans are ignorant about that fact that amalgam fillings are actually 50 percent mercury, and this is no accident. The American Dental Association (ADA) popularized the deceptive term "silver fillings" so consumers would think amalgam is made mainly of silver when actually it has twice as much mercury as silver.

Mercury is an incredibly potent neurotoxin; it doesn't take much to cause serious damage because it's an absolute poison. If you were to take the amount of mercury in a typical thermometer and put it in a small lake, that lake would be closed down due to environmental hazards.




Caution: Sulfur-rich foods release cellular toxins. INDEX
http://www.immunehealthscience.com/sulfur-foods.html
LINK 2: http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/
chelationnetwork/food/high-sulfur-sulphur-food-list/
by Andrew Hall Cutler

RELEASING toxins and heavy metals from cells, tissues, and organs into one's blood is NOT Detoxing.
Detoxing requires a Mobilization of the toxins such that they are accessible to metabolic processes, AND,
methylation (capture) of those substances, possibly by Glutathione, so they can be excreted.

The first step gives one the Symptoms of the influence of the toxicity.
The second step brings one the Freedom from the destructive influences and their symptoms.
Vitamins, Oxygen (exercise), and sulfur-rich foods are contributors to the FIRST Step.

Frequently, what mobilizes Mercury, also mobilizes Arsenic and other heavy metals.


Sulfur rich Foods:
The best sulfur foods are the ones that are rich in protein, and specifically - in amino acids cysteine and methionine, the only two major sulfur-containing amino acids.

The third, lesser known sulfur amino acid, taurine, can be found in animal protein only, and can also be synthesized from cysteine and methionine in the body.

Another significant source of sulfur in our diets is MSM (short for "methylsulfonylmethane"), an organic compound that is 34% sulfur by weight. MSM supplement has been shown in animal studies and one human trial to significantly improve blood glutathione levels and the activity of glutathione enzymes in the presence of high oxidative stress.

    We get most of the sulfur we need from animal foods with high methionine and/or cysteine content (all preferably organic grass fed, free range, wild caught to minimize exposure to toxins):
    • meats
    • poultry
    • organ meats
    • traditionally prepared bone broths
    • gelatin
    • collagen
    • fish and sea food
    • eggs
    • raw milk
    • yogurt
    • cheese
    • undenatured whey protein

Raw milk and other raw dairy are the best animal sources of MSM.
Bone broths also contain MSM because some of it remains dissolved in liquid.
Undenatured whey protein is an excellent source of bonded cysteine that is used by cells to synthesize the all-important glutathione.

It is not easy to determine sulfur content in foods because the amounts depend greatly on the quality of soil and farming practices.

Some people are allergic to sulfa drugs and inorganic sulfites, but usually can eat sulfur foods without any ill effects



INDEX

In his excellent book “Amalgam Illness: Diagnosis and Treatment”, Andy Cutler informs us that many mercury-toxic people are intolerant to certain foods, commonly known as ‘sulfur foods’, which have a high free thiol content. Consuming foods high in thiols raises the circulating thiol levels which in turn mobilizes mercury and creates symptoms.

He notes, “You typically get a couple of hours of feeling good, energized, happy, and then libidinous, then you feel tired, draggy and depressed, which goes on for a day to a week. Of course if you are eating sulfur foods at each meal these all get stacked up and you can never figure out what is happening.”

The onset of reaction of symptoms is fairly prompt, with the tired/icky/depressed part starting within a few hours, and can last for 4-7 days. You might even enjoy eating these foods and believe that they do you no harm, but their reactions can cause you a lot of undue suffering.

Important: It is only food that contains a high level of free thiol groups, and not literally any food that contains elemental sulfur in any form, that are the culprits.


“You’ll find a lot of misleading ‘sulfur’ lists on the web. I’m talking about those compounds that are thiols or that metabolically convert to them, not to the total amount of elemental sulfur in the food. Some forms don’t convert very much and are tolerated at much higher levels than others. E. g. meat is in theory quite sulfury, but in fact a lot of the sulfur stays in the methionine rather than thiol form so it is a less potent thiol source than an elemental analysis would suggest. Especially if you are taking TMG or choline which helps provide methyl groups so the methionine doesn’t need to get metabolized.” ...

Andy notes: “I estimate that 33-50% of mercury toxic people have elevated plasma cysteine”, which effectively means that those people will battle with sulfur foods. In essence, everybody planning to chelate should do a sulfur exclusion trial at least once to determine if there is a sensitivity to sulphur foods and avoid a lot of suffering. ...

If your health improves while off the sulfur foods and regresses after adding them back, you have an intolerance to them and should avoid them. When you are on a low thiol diet, do not eat ANY amount of high thiol foods.

Sulfur food intolerance in mercury toxic people has more to do with the mobilization of mercury caused by raised cysteine levels and excess thiols, rather than a direct allergy/intolerance to sulfur foods per se. Either way, you will need to avoid them if you show an intolerance to them, or, as some people have found, keep them to an absolute minimum. It seems there is a critical threshold of high thiol food intake for many and if you remain below this, little harm is done.

The foods mentioned on the ‘food high thiol’ list below, are ones that are metabolized in a specific sulfur pathway that causes the problems for mercury toxic people by increasing free thiol levels. These foods contain the free thiol groups that interact with and mobilize mercury inducing symptoms such as tiredness, emotional distress and other non-specific ailments.

Andy Cutler also says:
“If you have elevated cysteine and you want to convert some to glutathione,
take a 2:1 weight ratio of glutamine and glycine (e. g. 2 500 mg caps of glutamine
with 1 500 mg cap of glycine) and your body will do the rest.”


Food list high in thiols

When you are on a low thiol diet, do not eat ANY amount of high thiol foods.

  • artichokes, Jerusalem but not French
  • asparagus
  • bakery products containing whey, cysteine, eggs or enzymes
  • bean curd/tofu milk
  • bean sprouts
  • beans of all sorts
  • bok choy
  • broccoli
  • brussels sprouts
  • buckwheat
  • buttermilk – cream turns into butter and buttermilk. Buttermilk is where the thiols end up. Butter is thiol free
  • cabbage
  • carob
  • cauliflower
  • cheese, of all sorts – aging of cheese does not affect thiol sulfur content
  • chives
  • chocolate
  • coffee
  • collard greens
  • cream
  • daikon
  • dairy products
  • dandelion greens
  • eggs
  • garlic
  • green beans
  • greens
  • horseradish
  • jicama
  • kale
  • leeks
  • lentils, of all sorts
  • milk, from any animal
  • miso soup
  • mustard
  • onions
  • papaya (slightly)
  • peas, of all sorts
  • peanuts
  • pineapple (slightly)
  • radishes
  • rutabaga
  • sauerkraut
  • sesame seeds, ground, as when in tahini (when in hull ok for most, except the very sensitive)
  • shallots
  • sour cream
  • soy cheese
  • soy milk
  • spinach
  • split peas
  • sunchoke
  • tahini (from ground sesame seeds)
  • tamarind
  • tempeh
  • tofu
  • turnip
  • turmeric (though not high in thiols, it is really good at raising thiol levels)
  • quinoa
  • whey
  • yeast extract

Also,

Watch out for foods that have garlic and onion powders added e.g. processed meats like hot dogs.
Meat is also high in sulfur, but most people tolerate it well due to low thiol level and it depends upon how sensitive you are.
If you need to limit meat, then you would also need to supplement amino acids, especially glutamine.
This also helps to heal the gut lining.

Supplements high in sulfur/thiol groups

  • ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid or Thioctic Acid).
    Obviously this needs to be used for chelation purposes at some point, whether you are sulfur intolerant or not, but it MUST always be used properly, and according to its half-life, as described in Andy Cutler’s oral chelation protocol. If you are sulfur-sensitive, you may only tolerate small amounts of ALA, so start low just in case. This is not always true, but worth remembering. Also, do not take ALA during your sulfur exclusion trial.

  • bromelain and papain (use enzymes derived from animals)
  • chlorella,
  • cysteine
  • dairy source acidophilus,
  • DMSO,
  • extracts of the high sulphur foods,
  • glutathione,
  • NAC,
  • MSM,
  • Methionine (converts down into cysteine)
  • Turmeric is really good at raising thiol levels.

Vitamin C
- vitamin c is an essential nutrient and potent antioxidant.
Many studies have demonstrated that vitamin c can be beneficial in the treatment and prevention of the common cold, respiratory ailments and urinary tract infections.

Citrus Bioflavonoids
(from natural citrus fruits) provide a rich source of antioxidants which research has shown to benefit the cardiovascular system, osteoarthritis and in the prevention of several other chronic diseases. in addition, research suggests that bioflavonoids may help increase intracellular levels of vitamin c, while protecting the vitamin c from oxidation.

Sea Buckthorn berries
are a fruit of significant nutritional value and are renowned from centuries of medicinal usage for skin, heart and liver health in both Europe and Asia. Sea Buckthorn is very rich in natural vitamin c, vitamin E, carotenoids, proteins and phytosterols, as well as being a potent source of antioxidants and essential fatty acids.

Rutin is a citrus bioflavonoid with studies suggesting benefits for the cardiovascular and circulatory systems.

Zinc is an important nutrient that helps to maintain a healthy immune function.

Combination Rationale:
Synergy C™ combines the benefits of 1,000mg of buffered mineral vitamin c with the enhanced bioavailability action of antioxidants and flavonoids. the pH neutral buffered mineral sources of vitamin c from calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium ascorbates are combinations of ascorbic acid bonded with minerals to provide maximum absorption of vitamin c, while avoiding indigestion and protecting kidney health, which can be compromised when taking large doses of ascorbic acid alone.

Citrus bioflavonoids and rutin are powerful antioxidants which provide protection against the oxidative damage of free radicals. Some studies even suggest that bioflavonoids can help protect the antioxidant action of vitamin c. Bioflavonoids help increase intracellular levels of vitamin c and can also prolong the effectiveness of the vitamin c.

Sea Buckthorn berries contain naturally high levels of vitamin c. the health benefits of Sea Buckthorn berries can be found in the seed and pulp oil. CanPrev's Synergy C™ contains a complete whole pulp extract.

Zinc citrate has been added to complete this natural buffering activity, while supporting a strong immune function.

Glutathione (600mg) and Ca-EDTA (1,600mg), one month supply, comes with a FREE 'StopReabsorb' bowel cleanse.
Beats Detoxamin(R) and other similar EDTA products.

Over 3X more toxins are excreted.
The free StopReabsorb bowel cleanse cuts down on the reabsorbtion of toxins from the colon.

ToxDetox™ is a nutritional industry first - with never before available, professional strength reduced Glutathione (600mg) and CaNa2EDTA (1,600mg) in a cocoa butter based rectal suppository. As ToxDetox™ was researched and developed, a human study concurrently confirmed the powerful benefits of combined Glutathione and EDTA application for toxic removal:
3.8 times more toxins were excreted in the urine compared to EDTA only or Glutathione only applications [1].
ToxDetox beats Detoxamin(R) and other similar EDTA products.

ToxDetox™ raises the bar among detoxification products for efficiency, safety, and a broader spectrum of toxins removed, along with Glutathione’s immune boosting properties.

ToxDetox™ successfully targets the main health impacts of environmental and endogenous toxins:
mitochondrial toxicity, immunotoxicity, endocrine and neurotoxicity.

Suppositories provide very similar results to IV methods of administration since the ingredients in the suppository are absorbed by the wall of the rectum and carried straight into the systemic circulation (circumventing the entero-hepatic portal system where ingredients are broken down). Rectal absorption could be also compared to transdermal (through the skin) absorption due to the anatomy of the rectum.

De-calcification (EDTA) and immune boosting (glutathione) should be always a part of the best detoxification protocols.

CaNa2EDTA has been safely and widely used, since the 1950s, to bind and remove toxic heavy metal contamination in the body.

Lead, mercury, cadmium, manganese, iron, aluminum, arsenic, uranium, and other metals replace calcium, kept in the ring-shaped CaNa2EDTA, as it is being excreted.

Dosage
The recommended therapy is a minimum of three boxes of ToxDetox™.
Take and extra box for every ten years over the age of 40 (4 boxes over 50, 5 boxes over 60, etc.)
The total number of suppositories required depends on your toxicity level and exposure to toxic metals.

    It is recommended to take a ToxDetox™ suppository every forth nights over the first two weeks for a slower start and every second days afterwards at bedtime, after a bowel movement, or as recommended by your health care professional.

    Take your StopReabsorb bowel cleanse oral capsules 2 hours before you go to bed in the evenings, whenever you take a ToxDetox suppository.


There are benefits in going through with the whole detox program again a year later.
By this time the toxins from the deeper storage locations (e.g. from the bones) have time to come to more superficial places for effective detoxification.

Use one suppository weekly for maintenance.

    How to Use ToxDetox™

  • consider taking StopReabsorb™ bowel cleanse capsules 2 hours
    before taking the suppository to stop the reabsorption of toxins from the colon

  • take your daily vitamins as usual

  • take your minerals at least 5 hours BEFORE taking the suppository (to avoid mineral-toxin competition)

  • it is recommended to eat your dinner and drink a glass of water 2 to 3 hours before your bedtime

  • empty your bowels before inserting the suppository


    • remove the plastic wrapping from one suppository

    • moisten the suppository or put a bit of coconut oil to the tip of the suppository for easier insertion

    • insert it gently into the rectum past the sphincter muscles with your finger (use a “sandwich bag” for cleaner insertion)

    • try not to empty your bowels overnight (or for a few hours)


  • keep yourself hydrated while detoxifying

  • preferably eat organic, non-GMO, and 50% raw food

  • try to reduce/avoid EMF (Electro Magnetic Field) radiation to increase the rate of metal excretion from your body(!)

  • do daily high intensity, intermittent bouts of exercises to improve blood and lymph circulation (and spike your HGH levels). Ideally, these high-intensity interval trainings consist a total of 10 minutes of very intense exertion (swimming,sprinting, jumping) with short recovery periods in between. Combine this with 'SuperSlow weight lifting'

  • reduce your calorie intake or fast a day or two per week to open up your fat cells to release more (fat soluble) toxins

Our current diet and lifestyle conditions do not support high enough levels of glutathione and thus it must be supplemented.

Glutathione is the most important, natural, master detoxifier and the body's main antioxidant, protecting our cells and making our energy metabolism run well. Normally glutathione is recycled in the body -- except when the toxic load becomes too great.

Glutathione levels are significantly lower in chronic disease patients, suggesting either that glutathione deficiency contributes to the disease, or, more likely, that chronic diseases use high levels of protective glutathione. In either case, supplementation with glutathione could be expected to alleviate much of the cellular toxicity that contributes to diseases, which is why animal and human studies suggest an important role for glutathione supplementation in chronic disease conditions.

CAUTION:
ToxDetox™ should not be used during breastfeeding or pregnancy, as the toxins would then be passed on to the baby.
However, it is strongly recommended to detoxify months before conception for healthier, less toxic babies. Keep out of reach of children. Store at either room temperature or refrigerate. Never freeze.

[1] Effect of glutathione on the cadmium chelation of EDTA in a patient with cadmium intoxication.
Gil HW et al. Hum Exp Toxicol. 2011 Jan;30(1):79-83. Epub 2010 Apr 22.

EDTA has both strong 'antibiotic' effects on its own and through its profound bacterial biofilm disrupting effects. These dual actions can turn MultiDrug-Resistant (MDR) microorganisms into resistant ones (!), underlining the lifesaving role EDTA can play. In a study, EDTA treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms resulted in 1,000 fold greater killing than treatment with the antibiotic gentamicin

100ml/ 3.5 oz bottle (3.5 times the usual retail size) for $32 or 12 for $320

Most commercial fulvic acid products available on the market are “first generation” fulvic acids extracted from the fermentation of peat and sugar, or are a byproduct of coal manufacturing. The process of chemically extracting fulvic acid removes or destroys other organic acids.

A mature all natural fulvic source product will contain more than 70 trace elements and minerals and as many electrolytes, naturally occurring amino acids, vitamins and organic acids. 

The pH of our MLG-50 Fulvic Minerals is 2.0-2.3 after extraction and it will remain stable without the addition of preservatives. Producers of products that have a neutral pH of 7 have used hydroxides in their extraction process and are therefore considered synthetic by the USDA and FDA. These neutral pH forms of fulvic require the addition of a preservative, most commonly potassium sorbate.

First generation (man made) products do not contain the same levels of naturally- occurring constituents.

If your body is toxic to any degree, you may have some reactions such as a strong body odor on the skin and breath, outbreaks on the skin, a rash, darker stools and a strong urine odor. You may also get a headache or experience aches in muscles or joints - especially if you have not been drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day, which is important to assist in the elimination process to remove the toxins that may have been laying dormant in "pockets" throughout the body. If any of these symptoms appear, they are generally temporary.

    COMMENTS:

  1. I love it! I use it before I go to bed and I sleep so much better!
    I used to wake up with a sore throat from snoring and I don't anymore.
    It is noisier than I would like and it releases water at the end, which is a good thing, but you have to take it off so it doesn't release water in your nose but I still love it! I wish I could add scents to it so that I could inhale invigorating smells.

  2. My husband suffers from a chronic, degenerative condition & is in pain 24/7.
    This is the 1st thing,(other than massage), that gives him a bit of relief. He describes it as a "lift". And it's totally non-toxic!

  3. The first day it arrived I wash`t sure I really felt that much difference.
    That night I had arthritis pain and a sleepless night.
    The next morning when I used the Oxygen Bar breathing in deeply, I felt the effects, my joints tingled pleasantly and I had some relief after every use several times during that day. By the evening I was completely with out pain. ...

Lack of oxygen supply accompanies life-threatening diseases such as stroke, myocardial infarction or renal failure.
Tissues and cells are temporarily not provided with O2 (ischemia) and have to develop survival-strategies.

Cells are exposed to a second threat upon re-oxygenation (reperfusion).
Though being pivotal for survival, the sudden reperfusion of tissue induces oxidative stress and inflammatory responses.

The lack of oxygen supply is associated with a number of life-threatening diseases such as stroke, myocardial infarction or renal failure whereby cells are temporarily deprived of O2 and nutrient (ischemia). Significant cell damage can also occur during the reperfusion phase through oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. ....


COMMENT.
Oxygen Concentrators, by the nature of their temporary and periodic use, rather than a continual longer-term application, and, by their concentration of Oxygen in the proximal breathing air, rather than a provision of pure oxygen in a direct intubation through the nose ... minimizes the likelihood of the oxidative stress concerns mentioned above.

This benefit is only safe and relevant when the patient or caregiver is consciously aware of the symptoms indicating its requirement, and, the patient can begin to receive the benefits almost immediately. It will also be relevant only when oxygen supplementation can provide adequate health support for the patient by way of a temporary application. This suggests that the oxygen requirements of the patient cycle through periods of oxygen inefficiency and/or increases in requirement and that an acute or chronic oxygen debt is not present.

    Many influences can initiate a cycle (temporary) of oxygen inefficiency; some of these include:
    • a baseline degration of O2 assimilation through heavy metal toxicity,
    • a baseline degration of O2 assimilation through chemical toxicity,
    • a baseline elevation of O2 requirement through liver, thyroid, lung dysfunction,
    • a baseline elevation of O2 assimilation through intestinal fungal. viral, bacterial overgrowth,
    • a present experience of trauma,
    • a memory of trauma.

How Novasonic Works
In 1928, Erwin Schliephake, a German scientist, discovered that sound waves accelerated healing.
When sound waves are applied to the body, the cells and tissue absorb some of the energy, thus increasing circulation to enhance healing.

A Novasonic Transducer is a compact and high-precision electrical device which transmits sound waves to the treatment area through a ‘sound-head,’ applied without pressure to the skin surface. The sound waves can penetrate up to 2 1/4? within the body, treating areas inaccessible to conventional manipulative techniques. The intensity of the waves and associated vibration can be adjusted easily, just like the volume on a radio.

The Novasonic massager utilizes a sound transducer that vibrates at selected frequencies within the audible range (between 16-20,000 Hertz). Sound waves are transmitted to the treatment area through a specially designed “sound head”, applied without pressure to the skin surface.

The sound waves can penetrate up to 2 ¼” within the body, treating areas inaccessible to other techniques.
Furthermore, the intensity of the waves and accompanying vibration can be adjusted easily.
The unit may look like an ultrasound unit, but Novasonic uses audible sounds, a different technology.
This provides intensive stimulation of the natural functions of the cellular, circulatory and nervous systems.

The Novasonic has two speeds (high and low), and an intensity control knob.

There are two sound heads; flat for large areas, and round for points.

The Novasonic can be used to stimulate cartilage, joints, muscles, and tissue.
The direct consequence of each molecular impact is to create altering compression and dilation zones in effect, a form of massage, but at a cellular level, deep within the treated tissue. This stimulation results in an immediate and demonstrable tightening of the cell-wall membranes, leading to increased blood circulation and improved metabolism. It is by this intensive stimulation of the natural functions of the cellular, circulatory and nervous systems of the body that the beneficial effects of the therapy are achieved. Novasonic simply gives nature a helping hand. Users report significant relief, particularly in the joints.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How does the Novasonic unit actually function?
    Novasonic has a small head in the end of the unit that turns ordinary, household 60 Hz electricity into a range of audible sound waves that can easily penetrate the body up to 2.5 inches deep.

  2. Does the Novasonic generate heat in the tissues?
    No heat is generated. Any warming sensation is due to increased circulation.

  3. Just what is it about the Novasonic that does cause some relief?
    The sound waves or vibrations are in the hearing range and they stimulate local circulation and relax muscles and tissues just like any type of massage would, except much more gently.

  4. What are the basics of the Novasonic Unit?
    The Novasonic handle weighs less than one pound. It uses less than 25 watts of electricity.
    The unit is very portable for trips since it is less than two pounds with the carrying case.

  5. Are there any special instructions for best and safe use of the Novasonic?
    Always unplug the transformer when not in use (extends the life of the transformer).
    It is recommended that the unit not be used on the lower back or the abdominal region of any pregnant woman.
    It is recommended that it not be used on the chest area of a person using a pacemaker.
    These are all reasonable and prudent precautions.

    If you have blood clot problems of the lower leg do not use the unit on your calf since any form of massage there could loosen the clots leading to extremely serious outcomes. As always, if you have any medical condition you are strongly urged to consult with your physician. Keep in mind that this is NOT a medical device and we make no medical claims regarding use.

  6. Do I have to push the unit really hard against my body to get good results?
    No, in fact use only a light touch. About 1 or 2 ounces of pressure is best.
    If you push hard, you will dampen the power of the unit and stop its effectiveness.

  7. How well built is the Novasonic unit?
    It is an extremely fine, quality unit made in Europe by skilled technicians.
    The unit is a good appliance and like any quality unit should be treated as such.
    It is advised that turning the power knob should be done gently.
    It is also advised that if you use the unit with creams or oils that a plastic baggy be placed over the head of the unit to protect it from the creams and oils since they will rapidly degrade the rubber membrane found just under the power head. This use of oils and cremes is not covered under the warranty and will lead to repair fees.

    If you choose to change the head — screw off the head and screw on the other head, but MBR> please do NOT over-tighten the head as this can possibly damage the unit.
    The Novasonic should yield great comfort for years if carefully used and kept clean.
    This chrome model includes a bi-modal switch with percussion therapy.
