Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chelation Therapy in the Treatment of Metal Intoxication presents a practical guide to the use of chelation therapy, from its basic chemistry, to available chelating antidotes, and the application of chelating agents. Several metals have long been known to be toxic to humans, and continue to pose great difficulty to treat. These challenges pose particular problems in industrial settings, with lead smelting known to be associated with hemopoietic alterations and paralyses, and the inhalation of mercury vapor in mercury mining being extremely detrimental to the central nervous system. Clinical experience has demonstrated that acute and chronic human intoxications with a range of metals can be treated efficiently by administration of chelating agents. Chelation Therapy in the Treatment of Metal Intoxication describes the chemical and biological principles of chelation in the treatment of these toxic metal compounds, including new chelators such as meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) and D,L-2,3-dimercapto-1-propanesulfonic acid (DMPS). Presents all the current findings on the potential for chelation as a therapy for metal intoxication Presents practical guidelines for selecting the most appropriate chelating agent Includes coverage on radionuclide exposure and metal storage diseases Describes the chemical and biological principles of chelation in the treatment of toxic metal compounds

Download or read book The Chelation Way written by Morton Walker D.P.M. and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1989-11-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chelation therapy is a safe, effective non-surgical treatment that has successfully been used to prevent and treat hardening of the arteries for over forty years in the United States. New evidence indicates that it may also help to control and, in some cases, reverse the effects of arthritis, cancer, stroke, osteoporosis, glaucoma, metal toxicity, irregular heartbeat, senility, and gangrene, as well as a host of other degenerative illnesses. As more studies show the many benefits of chelation therapy, the number of physicians utilizing it continues to grow. In this important book, Dr. Morton Walker explains how chelation works, documents the evidence of its effects, and discusses its oral and intravenous use. Since intravenous treatment is not always necessary, Dr. Walker also tells the reader about over-the-counter oral chelating agents—what they are, where to find them, and what dosage to take. “This is an interesting treatment of the subject, much more comprehensive than any other book.”—Library Journal

Download or read book Iron Chelation Therapy written by Chaim Hershko and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the last few years, iron research has yielded exciting new insights into the under standing of normal iron homeostasis. However, normal iron physiology offers little protec tion from the toxic effects of pathological iron accumulation, because nature did not equip us with effective mechanisms of iron excretion. Excess iron may be effectively removed by phlebotomy in hereditary hemochromatosis, but this method cannot be applied to chronic anemias associated with iron overload. In these diseases, iron chelating therapy is the only method available for preventing early death caused mainly by myocardial and hepatic iron toxicity. Iron chelating therapy has changed the quality of life and life expectancy of thalassemic patients. However, the high cost and rigorous requirements of deferoxamine therapy, and the significant toxicity of deferiprone underline the need for the continued development of new and improved orally effective iron chelators. Such development, and the evolution of improved strategies of iron chelating therapy require better understanding of the pathophysiology of iron toxicity and the mechanism of action of iron chelating drugs. The timeliness of the present volume is underlined by several significant develop ments in recent years. New insights have been gained into the molecular basis of aberrant iron handling in hereditary disorders and the pathophysiology of iron overload (Chapters 1-5).

Download or read book The Chelation Controversy written by Gregory Pouls and published by Basic Health Publications, Inc.. This book was released on 2005 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Safely Rid Your Body of Stored Chemicals and Heavy Metals If you live in this modern world of ours, your body is being exposed to oxidizing chemicals and heavy metals such as aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, and lead on a daily basis. When your body starts accumulating toxins faster than it can eliminate them, it begins to store them in your tissues. These stored toxins initiate degenerative processes in your body that can lead to diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and arthritis. Chelating agents--substances that latch on to and carry toxins out of the body--can help you free yourself of this destructive load. In The Chelation Controversy, Drs. Gregory and Maile Pouls discuss the use of chelating agents, including those taken orally and those given intravenously. The authors also familiarize you with some of the controversy surrounding chelation therapy. In addition to a comprehensive guide to the "big six" heavy metals and a discussion on the harmful effects of oxidation, the authors cover the most common prescription IV and oral chelating agents. They also provide guidance on what to look for in an oral chelation formula and describe the nutritional substances and antioxidants that can support your detoxification efforts. If your exposure to toxins is higher than average or if you simply want to preserve, maintain, support, and enhance your health, energy, and vitality in this toxic world, The Chelation Controversy provides the information you need to put this therapy to work for you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Medical Breakthrough of Chelation Therapy: A treatment that uses medicine to remove toxic metals from the body so they don't make you sick. Chelation has long been approved by the FDA to rid the body of lead by using a synthetic amino acid (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid), which binds to toxic metals and minerals in the bloodstream, allowing a patient to excrete them. When metals like lead, mercury, iron, and arsenic build up in your body, they can be toxic. Alternative medical practitioners have used chelation for nearly 60 years, especially to treat heavy metal contamination that causes or contributes to heart disease. Chelation rids the body of deposits that can lead to atherosclerosis, which causes coronary arteries to narrow, leading to heart attacks. Patients have also found relief through chelation for improving the symptoms of autism. One of the most promising areas of research is in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Because the buildup of metals like copper, iron, and zinc are thought to play a role in Alzheimer's disease, Chelation Therapy might have a place in treating it. Full of hope-inspiring case histories, expert findings and where to find treatment, The Chelation Revolution: Breakthrough Detox Therapy shows how Chelation Therapy can alleviate suffering in numerous medical conditions and lead to a healthier, happier, and longer life. Includes a Foreword by Tammy Born Huizenga, D.O., owner of the internationally recognized Born Clinic in Grand Rapids, MI, an internationally respected organization in preventive medicine with a speciality in Chelation Therapy.

Download or read book Chelation Therapy written by C. M. Hawken and published by . This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heavy metals from environmental pollutants permeate the air, soil and water. Such toxins can accumulate in the muscles, nerves and blood vessels, causing damage throughout the entire body. Chelation therapy was developed to addresses heavy metal overload, helping the body reduce buildup of heavy metals. In chelation therapy, a chemical chelating agent is inserted into the body. The chelating agent binds with heavy metals in the bloodstream, forming a compound that the body can eliminate through urine. Chelating agents can be administered orally, intravenously, intramuscularly or through a suppository. In this completely revised and updated edition of his bestselling booklet, C.M. Hawken explains how chelation therapy works and discusses uses of chelation therapy to support cardiovascular health, Alzheimer's disease, autism, diabetes and more.

This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an easy-to-read manual about chelation therapy. It contains specific protocols for the treatment of chronic metal overexposure, all of which are evidence-based, aiding the inexperienced and the experienced therapist in selecting the optimal chelating agent for the metal(s) in question. Expert chemists and chelation therapists have contributed invaluable knowledge and experience to this book. Most importantly, this is not a book promoting personal views or preferences. In fact, the information presents and explains different approaches, and allows the reader to draw his own conclusion. All the protocols listed have been modified for the treatment of chronic metal intoxication, included are oral and intravenous treatment plans. The authors explain in simple terms how a chelating agent ́s bioavailability affects metal binding and how various protocols such as the Cutler Protocol affect the detoxification process, why DMPS binds mercury and which chelators are useful for the detoxification of certain organ system. Also discussed is the importance and effect of treatment pauses. Diagnostic tests are discussed, and which are useful under certain conditions. Shown are tables comparing the average metal binding ability of the various EDTAs, DMPS, DMSA and other chelating agents. Detailed information explains which chelator binds which metal and why, all of which aids the therapist in finding optimal treatment schedules. Novel chelating agents are presented such as MIADMSA, a new oral chelator specifically designed for arsenic intoxication, or how natural Pectin may be used an alternative for gadolinium intoxication, which metals are bound by lipoic acid and why a slightly alkaline environment supports metal binding, even preventing the often-feared metal redistribution. All in all, this evidence-based chelation "cookbook" should be in medical libraries and on the bookshelf of every physician treating environmental disease.
