There are many avenues one may take on the journey along the road to health. The guidance of an experienced integrative medicine physician is highly recommended. I have been learning from Dr. Garry Gordon, the guru of chelation therapy, that there are three major ingredients to longevity -- removal of toxic metals, reduction in the subculture of microorganisms in one’s body, and thinning the blood without the use of dangerous anticoagulant drugs, such as coumadin and aspirin. Let me first address toxic metal removal with chelation and then discuss the microorganisms and the blood thinning. Overall, such a program will decrease the probability of either a stroke or a heart attack, major disablers and killers, and enhance the quality and quantity of life. However, remember the importance of a healing approach to the common denominators discussed in the NATURAL MEDICINE article. (Available on my web site) How do you say it? “KEY-LAY-SHUN .” What does it mean? This word, derived from the Greek, means “To claw or grab.” What? Toxic metals like lead mercury, cadmium, nickel and aluminum and misplaced calcium as in the arteries, joints and sometimes in the kidneys. What does it do? Through the chelating process, the chelating agent binds the element(s) and via the blood stream facilities excretion from the body through the urine, stool and skin. What does it do for you? In a nutshell, it is an anti-aging vehicle.

Now let me share with you an in-depth discussion. There are natural and synthetic substances that can chelate minerals from the human body. The Germans developed a product back in the days of World War II called EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid). Administering EDTA intravenously, American physicians found it of value in treating sailors suffering from lead poisoning secondary to their use of lead based paints on the Navy ships. It chelated out lead from the body. It was found also to improve circulation by chelating the calcium deposits in the arteries. Think of EDTA as Pack Men gobbling up the toxic heavy metals and the misplaced calcium. Many patients with the following conditions have shown improvement with chelation therapy: Alzheimer’s Disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, migraine headaches, arthritis, macular degeneration, hypertension, osteoporosis, diabetes, stroke, and memory loss.EDTA is available in effective oral form -- alone or combined with other natural chelators and nutrients; in gum to chelate mercury rising from the amalgam fillings with eating or drinking warm foods and beverages, and in powder for the bath. and <>For you to get started, an oral chelation product is cost efficient and beneficial. Cleansing the body of these toxic metals is a long term process and best to continue without interruption once you start. I am not talking about months but of years and even a life time! Dr. Garry Gordon, the founder of AAMPS now ACAM and formulator of the protocol for intravenous chelation therapy, recently commented about cleansing his body of lead. To paraphrase, he stated that he is seventy years old and it will take him fifteen years to get the “lead out” (my words!!!). He states that we have 1000 times more lead in our bodies today than humans had 400 years ago!!! You see we are living in a polluted environment and we continue to become toxic within from the poisons without. He also cautioned not to stop in midstream for the metals coming out will redistribute in your organs, tissues and glands and you are likely to return to you previously lower state of health. You also may wish to do the intravenous EDTA treatment. To find an experienced physician in your area go to the web site of the American College for Advancement in Medicine . or call 1-800-532-3688 or contact me (RBK at 407-365-6681). The older EDTA protocol calls for a three to four hour treatment and the new one consists of an intravenous push of just a few minutes duration. The latter may be complimented with a mineral vitamin injection called the Myers' Cocktail. In my practice I have patients only doing oral chelation and others doing both oral and intravenous. Most prefer the push rather than the three hour infusion.

There is a subculture of microorganisms that lives within our bodies. When we are healthy with a strong immune system, these creatures are dormant. However, when our system is stressed they may become active and we manifest an infectious disease. Before his death Pasteur recognized Bechamp’s discovery of infections originating from within the body. Various natural substances may be taken to keep these critters subdued, e.g., colloidal silver, olive leaf extract, and oil of oregano. Nattokinase is an enzyme found in the soybean cheese, natto. Hiroyuki Sumi, M.D., Ph.D. discovered this enzyme in 1980 and its beneficial effects to dissolve fibrin that clogs arteries. It is available as an oral supplement. I prescribe Nattovita that is endorsed by Dr. Sumi. So there is your winning triple play: chelation, microorganism suppression and anticoagulation for a longer and healthier life.
