Heavy Metal Detoxfication
Heavy metal detoxification is accomplished using a procedure known as chelation. Studies have shown that patients on the autistic spectrum are at least 50% more toxic than those who are neurotypical and cannot detoxify heavy metals. The usual metals found are mercury, lead, arsenic, aluminum, cadmium, nickel, antimony, tin, tungsten and uranium! Chelation has been described in pediatric textbooks as the treatment of choice to remove toxic metals from the body once removal from the source of exposure has been accomplished. Unfortunately, these metals are present in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the soil and the dust we come in contact with every day. These metals interfere with the manufacture of glutathione, the major antioxidant (detoxifier) in our body. They are also toxic to cells and neurons.
Chelation is performed in our facility by our Nurse Practitioner or Physician in a comfortable setting. It is performed in a one to one encounter by slow IV push infusion with careful monitoring. The optimal protocol involves the administration of IV Calcium-EDTA and oral administration of Chemet, also known as DMSA, and D-Penicillamine (Cupramine generically). These medications in concert will help break the bonds of the metals from the solid organ cells, primarily brain and bone. Infusion of IV Glutathione will assist in the body’s ridding itself of these metals without risk of the metals reaccumulating in the organs. Monthly lab work is done to ensure that the patient has no aberrations in bone marrow or liver function. Serial urine testing is done to quantify the excretion of the metals as an indicator of the effectiveness of the chelation. In over 2000 infusions, we have seen subtle to dramatic positive effects in hundreds of children chelated in our practice.
