Addressing Ammonia Toxicity from Lyme Disease, MS, ALS, Parkinson's, and Autism

Lyme disease, MS, ALS, Parkinson's, Autism, and many other chronic illnesses...have been shown to have ammonia accumulating in the brain and tissues. It is imperative to the healing process that you and your doctor address the ammonia at the same time as you are addressing the cause of the ammonia...the Lyme bacteria, through the Borrelia burgdorferi production of urease enzyme!

Hyperammonemia (Excess accumulation of ammonia in the brain and tissues of the body) in combination with cerebral venous circulation disturbances, microbial issues and metabolic pathway dysfunction are largely unaddressed components that cause muscle weakness, muscle wasting, profound fatigue, mitochondria damage, tremors, brain dysfunction, depersonalization, depression, neuropathy, and muscle fasciculations (involuntary movements of muscles) seen in MS, ALS, and Parkinson's disease. Of course, poor oral bite/TMJ dynamics, environmental electro-polution,  dental mercury and environmental heavy metals, dietary and environmental toxins, also play an important role in the development of these illnesses, however this article focuses on the huge problem of excess ammonia. Stopping the accumulation of ammonia often stops the progression of these illnesses.

Other significant causes of excess ammonia production are SIBO gut microbial infections, such as H. Pylori bacterial infections, as well as other secondary sources that can add to the load of ammonia, such as Candida-type yeast which catabolize dietary amino-acids into ammonia in the gut. Another cause of excessive ammonia is chronic liver dysfunction, as well as chronic kidney dysfunction.

Ammonia is very alkaline at an 11.6 pH. Many doctors have been taught that most sick people have acidic bodies. The reality is not that simple. People may be predominantly acidic, their urine and saliva may be acidic, but they are also extremely alkaline in the areas of ammonia accumulation. Lyme disease is a game changer when it comes to the acid/alkalinity of the body. 

This is why many people worsen when they drink alkalinized water, or are given dietary recommendations such as fresh fruits and vegetables which most often work to alkalinize the body. (No, this is not permission to go back to junk food or processed foods that are acid-promoting!) It appears that alkalinizing these people is only aggravating the already over-alkaline ammonia regions of their body, the brain, heart and liver. The ammonia conditions must be cleared before addressing the more acidic regions of their body! Click on this hyperlink to read more on ways to change your diet to help minimize the symptoms of ammonia.

We can extrapolate from the fact that Lyme bacteria seem to thrive in the highly alkaline environment created by ammonia (11.6 pH), that it is not going to work to attempt to kill the bacteria through drinking highly alkaline water, or eating alkaline-promoting diets. Once the Lyme bacteria and ammonia issues are addressed adequately then yes, an alkaline promoting diet is best.

"Souring the Milk!" Making the Body an Inhospitable Home for Bacteria to Overgrow!

It is almost impossible to culture Lyme bacteria in a lab setting if the growth medium in the petri dish is not just right, or if the temperature or pH is not just right. So from this we can see that Borrelia burgdorferi are not invincible monsters that absolutely cannot be beaten. 

The challenge then is to "sour the milk" or shift your body's internal environment to one that makes survival very difficult for the bacteria. Correcting the hyperammonemia (high ammonia) issue can help achieve a less hospitable environment for the bacteria, making your other antibacterial efforts possibly more effective.

Not everything can be done with remedies, especially the longer you have been sick. The longer one has been sick, the more skill that will be required to successfully facilitate the body's ability to completely heal. It has been my experience that the sicker you are, the longer you have been sick, the more organs and systems of your body that have been damaged, the less likely you can successfully navigate through all the possible treatment options by yourself at home. The remedies I list below can definitely help you, however it may be wise to seek professional help with all the issues going on beyond eliminating bacteria and ammonia.

A Screwdriver Cannot Cut Wood. Antibiotics Cannot Correct Tissue Damage! Using the Correct Tools for the Job.

You must use the correct tool for the job. Diet, combined with full-spectrum infrared sauna therapy, remedies, nutrition, hands on treatments, and so much more are needed to optimize the body's ability to bring down the population of bacteria, and eliminate the ammonia. 

Most people just want to take some remedies at home and feel better. I understand that, however if you don't feel better it does not mean the remedies are not working, it means there is too much else going on, (such as damaged, inflamed, and irritated tissues) for simply removing the ammonia to correct. 

Remember, ammonia is a toxin. We call things toxins because they damage tissues. It is like burning your finger on the stove. You immediately jerk your hand off the flame, but the burn and pain remains. So simply eliminating the ammonia will not always instantly get rid of the damage to the tissues or the symptoms. This is why the doctors at the Hansa Center have developed dozens of new ways to facilitate the body's ability to restore the correct (optimum) functioning of these damaged tissues, right down to the areas of broken biochemistry.

Also, until the bacteria are brought under control, they continue to produce more ammonia, so getting rid of the ammonia will be an ongoing process until your body can successfully beat down the Lyme bacteria. To help the body eliminate the cause of the ammonia, the bacteria, I developed three different formulas, the first of which I presented compelling research for at the International Tick-Borne Diseases Conference in New York City. 

Although no natural formula is cleared by the FDA to treat or cure any named illness, we can make "structure and function" claims for natural formulations. These formulas are not natural antibiotics. They work to enable the body's own defenses to kill the bacteria...in huge numbers if you read the research. 

1. Eliminate the source of ammonia, the bacteria
2. Eliminate the ammonia, through ammonia-specific supplements
3. Support the organs of elimination

Eliminating the Source of ammonia, the bacteria:

I would recommend discussing with your healthcare professional, starting with Borrelogen™ at 1 dropper 2-3 times a day for one bottle, or as they recommend. Depending upon your response, you can the ask your healthcare professional about switching over to Lymogen™ if you need a change, at the same dosage or as they recommend. The successes our doctors have enjoyed at the Hansa Center for 20 years are largely around these remedies, although when you come you might not test as needing any of these formulas that I developed. Our testing helps us identify specifically what your unique body needs, which is why we carry over 3000 natural remedies from all the best companies to test you with in each treatment room.

No matter what way you choose to enable the killing of the Lyme bacteria, conventional antibiotics or natural remedies, you definitely need to deal with the toxic ammonia. As I have discussed, most medicines and remedies will not cross the blood-brain-barrier (BBB). 

Eliminating the Ammonia:

I traveled to Brazil to search for botanicals from the Amazon that might effectively clear ammonia from the body. I have been to huge plant specimen repositories, and tested large collections of medicinal substances from the world of Chinese medicine, not to mention testing everything I can get my hands on from standard botanical and homeopathic arsenals. There are only two botanicals out of everything I have tested that consistently work and have been verified either by laboratory experiments or by Functional Acuity Contrast Testing (FACT) of the toxins interference in the brain. 

These two botanicals are Silphium laciniatum leaf extract, and Hibiscus sabdarifa leaf extract. I developed the Silphium into a stand alone extract called, "Silphitrin" and enhanced its effectiveness in the NeuroAntitox II Formulas. The Hibiscus sabdarifa leaf extract is available as a stand alone remedy, that can be taken at the same time as the NeuroAntitox Formula or by itself.

When your healthcare professional finds ammonia is not just in the typical Lyme presentation of the liver, heart, brain, and jaws, but is found all over the body, such as is the case with almost all MS and ALS sufferers, then I would suggest using L-Ornithine/L-Aspertate. L-Ornithine/L-Aspertate used to be a German prescription drug called Hepamertz, that was used for the same purpose of helping reduce the ammonia seen in severe liver diseases. It is now available as a supplement. In that L-Ornithine/L-Aspartate does not work as well as the NeuroAntitox II Formula, it is recommended that they be taken together.

Our Hansa Center doctors are trained to also target and suppress the production of urease by the bacteria to help eliminate the ammonia.

Consult with your natural healthcare professional before starting any new supplement. A general recommendation for the Silphitrin, Hibiscus, or NeuroAntitox II Formula is 1-3 droppers, 2-3 times a day, with or without food. 

The Silphitrin and NeuroAntitox II Basic Formulas can be used in a soaking bath, for those whose digestive systems do not handle remedies and medicines well. The bath instructions are on the label of the bottle. Soak your body no more than 20 minutes in warm water, not hot water. 

Support the Organs of Elimination:

If one studied all the various supplements that support the detoxification and elimination organs it would rapidly be clear that you could spend hundreds of dollars on many different types of products. I have found that Metacrin-DX by Apex Energetics, Inc.™ is a gentle yet powerful product to support phase-1 and phase 2 of the liver detoxification pathways. 

Fiber is another important component of supporting proper bowel movements and the removal of toxins. Fiber acts like a sponge in the intestines, so I recommend Chewable Total Fiber by Nutriwest, Inc. It is better to have a somewhat dry sponge that can soak up poisonous cellular debris, than to drag a wet rag through the gut, like many fiber products that are mixed in water. 

Drink plenty of purified water everyday to help support cellular function and to support the rapid clearing of toxins. Most people are dehydrated, often even when they drink a lot of water, because they have destroyed the membranes responsible for fluid transportation, impairing the body's ability to  effectively distribute water to the tissues. When the membranes are damaged, a person will often drink copious amounts of water, yet most of the water is rapidly urinated out. This leads to stagnation and dehydration in the tissues and organs, which can be addressed by using a product called Gather Vitality, by K'an Herbs, Inc. 

Juicing your own green drinks or getting them from your local health food store is another vitally important step in supporting the organs of elimination. My favorite recipe juicing recipe:

• One organic cucumber, 
• Two to three leaves and stalks each of organic kale and rainbow chard, 
• One organic Granny Smith apple, 
• One organic whole lime, 
• A small bunch of parsley or cilantro. 

It tastes great and is a power packed, nutrient dense infusion that supports the organs and enables them to have the strength to detox more effectively. Remember, asking the body to detox is asking the body to work very hard, often when the body is already very fatigued. You cannot or should not do any detoxification without also giving the body extra support to do the work. Juicing fresh organic fruits and veggies is not just nutrient rich, but is also rich in the vital energy of the plants. 

Another great way to increase cellular energy is to take Berberine w/ MicroPQQ and CoQ10. 

A Huge Help for Those with Any Illness

For those people who are profoundly drained of energy, cannot handle oral supplements well, are dehydrated, or have poor detoxification abilities, I highly recommend you use your internet search engine and find a I.V. hydration clinic in your area that offers nutritional I.V.'s called Myer's Cocktails. I advise adding 1000 to 2000 mg of Glutathione and extra Vitamin C. This can be done weekly to monthly depending upon your condition. These clinics are usually very easy to get into, often without an appointment or a doctor's prescription, and most are staffed by highly-qualified Nurse Practitioners. 

Core Body Temperature Issues

If your primary symptoms are not severe brain issues, such as seen in MS, Parkinson's, or ALS, then you definitely want to invest in a Full-Spectrum Infrared Sauna for your personal use. Virtually no other device can shift the internal environment of your body than one of these saunas! Lyme bacteria cause the body to overcool. People with chronic LD often report that their body temperature is very low. If you are ever 96.5 or below, you are in real trouble and need to take this seriously. Every system of the body is energetically working on fumes and getting more toxic by the day as the body fluids, such as the lymph fluid, turn into a gel. 

There is a new way to do sauna therapy that quadruples its healing effects. The Sunlighten Saunas now have the options for Acoustic Resonance Therapy, Chromotherapy, Full-spectrum Infrared waves, 6-preset wellness programs, and a proprietary cream that enhances sweating in those tough to sweat areas!  These saunas are a long way from the boring saunas of old. They even offer a biofeedback option! These saunas are made for people with extreme sensitivities. The six-person Sunlighten Basswood saunas are the ones we use at the Hansa Center, and the smaller units are perfect for healing at home.

The Hansa Center Difference:
This article outlines the very basics of addressing toxicity in the body. I cannot do justice to the incredible complexity of what each of our doctors can bring to bear upon each person's case who comes to the Hansa Center. We have found that it is best to start with a two-week, all-inclusive package of care that enables us to apply maximum effort in daily hour long office visits with the doctor to really dig down and identify everything we can that has gone wrong in a person's body and determine unique ways to facilitate their body's ability to restore optimum function. This hyperlink is an effort to give you an idea of what the first few days of treatment at the Hansa Center would be like.

100% of People With Any Illness Have This Problem

Blown Circuits in the Body
By the age of 19 most people will be living the rest of their life with all 23 circuits in their body being "blown, unless a knowledgable doctor can correct it!" It is a testament to how well designed the human body is that so much disfunction can exist and yet a person might be a high-level athlete, or corporate mogul in spite of it all, until something occurs that is the proverbial, "straw that broke the camel's back."

If you are sick, the temptation is to think it is just from catching a virus, or being bitten by a bug that gave you an infection. Your doctor might convince you that you have a disease, usually with a scary sounding Latin name. Whatever your condition, addressing what I am about to tell you will potentially be the determining factor of whether you are doomed to a medicated life or regaining the life you once enjoyed.

What most people and unfortunately most doctors don't know is that the many organs, glands, and muscle groups of the body are set up on dedicated circuits, much like the circuits of your house. If you go to the circuit breaker box in your house you will see that there are many different circuits dedicated to the various areas of your house.

In a circuit in the body you will find the following all sharing a somewhat dedicated electromagnetic circuit:

• Organ, 
• Gland, 
• Teeth, 
• Nerves, 
• Joints, 
• Muscles. 

For example, the front two teeth on the upper and lower jaw sit on the same circuit as the kidneys, ears, pineal gland, and the psoas muscles on both sides of the body. 

Another example would be the Liver, which shares the same circuit with the eyes, posterior pituitary gland, and canine teeth (also known as the eye teeth, since problems in these teeth can cause eye/vision problems), along with a division of the deltoid muscles...

The abdominal muscles and the big quadriceps muscles that are located on the top of your thigh are on the same circuit with the small intestines, the wisdom teeth, the anterior pituitary gland, and so on... 

If there are problems anywhere on these circuits the body will not give 100% energy to the blown, dysfunctional circuit, so that you will not damage things further by being able to go full-tilt on a damaged circuit. 

As the above "Circuit Healing" picture demonstrates, problems from structural, chemical, stress-related issues, or bioenergetic "software/bioregulation"issues anywhere in a circuit will cause the entire circuit to "blow" and everything on that circuit suffers the same fate. 

Muscles won't work when the circuit blows!

Exercise intolerance, chronic fatigue, and weakness is a common problem in people suffering from chronic illness. When every circuit in the body is blown there is a dramatic reduction in energy throughout the body.

For all of the great intentions, exercise machines are most often used as a place to hang clothes.

It is the proverbial "catch 22," you know you need to exercise to get back to the health you desire, but your body is too weak and the post-workout pain and symptoms is too much to endure to continue working out.

When these circuits are "blown," the muscles on these circuits will only work at about 40% of maximum integrity. It isn’t a problem with not working out enough. 

With just 40% of the normal strength available, there is not enough strength in the muscles to stabilize the joints, leading to pain, nor is there enough mitochondria (energy factories in the muscle fibers) to produce enough ATP (what your body uses for energy) to enable you to do many repetitions of your workout. 

Blown Circuits Affect the Entire Body

In your house, the are many different circuits. The circuits ensure that the distribution of energy is handled efficiently and none of the electrical appliances get overloaded and burn up. Your kitchen is on it's own dedicated circuit. If any thing goes wrong on that circuit, lets say a mouse chews through the wiring and causes it to short-circuit, everything on that circuit will suffer the same fate. Nothing will work. You might only notice the "symptoms" of the blown circuit when your coffee pot doesn't work.

If you did not understand the concept of blown circuit breakers, you might go out and buy a new coffee pot. You might then notice the lights in the kitchen are not working, and try to replace the light bulbs. Your dishwasher won't turn on, so you call the appliance repair service.  You see, everything on the circuit suffers the same fate when the circuit blows.

Without understanding that everything on a circuit will not work when the circuit blows leaves you "treating the symptoms" only, replacing the coffee pot, light bulbs... Obviously, all of these are symptoms of the blown circuit. The only way to correct them is to recognize that the entire circuit is blown, find the cause, the place that the mouse chewed, repair it, AND turn the circuit back on.

When the body is working on only 40% of the optimum amount of energy it should have, a person can take all the best medications, remedies, nutrients, and treatments, but there is not enough energy for the body to utilize them correctly. Everything starts working better with the circuits back up at 100%.

Mainstream Medicine Doesn't Get It
Mainstream medicine is, by their own professional definition, concerned with the suppression of symptoms (replacing the coffee pot, changing the light bulb...) through medication, surgery, or radiation. The model of care, with its separation of medical specialties, also demonstrates this lack of understanding of the interconnectedness of the organs, teeth, glands, muscles...

There are 8 different teeth that are on the same circuit with the mammary glands, where 80% of all breast cancers occur. This fact is of no interest to mainstream medicine. Interestingly, the breast cancer tumors have 60 times more mercury in them than the surrounding breast tissue, from the silver mercury amalgams in one or more of those eight teeth.

Dr. Thomas Rau, M.D., the medical director of one of the top Biological Medicine cancer treatment centers in Switzerland, the Paracelsus Klinik, states that approximately 98% of all breast cancer has a dental cause, most often from a poisonous root canal tooth and cavitation (osteonecrosis) of the jawbone, from one or more of these eight teeth, that is leaching toxins and mercury into the mammary glands. When the tooth issue is resolved the cancerous process is stopped at its source.

In this situation the rotten tooth is analogous to the wire that was chewed by the mouse. The tumor itself is the light bulb that no longer works. Can you see how understanding the circuits and interconnectedness of the body can be vital in restoring your health to resume living your normal lifespan.

Interestingly, if the organ or other tissue is diseased or dysfunctional that sits on the same circuit with a certain tooth, the tooth will also become more susceptible to infections and decay.

Of course there are other causes of breast cancer outside of tooth issues. The point is that getting lumpectomies, mastectomies, and taking toxic chemotherapy is just treating the most obvious manifestation of other things that have gone wrong in the circuits.

In conventional cancer treatment, they are claiming success with cancer if you live just another five years! If you are only in your 30's or even 60's, living just five years beyond your diagnosis doesn't sound that great!

According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, D.O., "Despite a decades-long war on cancer, and the “most advanced” treatments known to 21st century oncologists, people who develop this aggressive, fast-growing cancer are given a prognosis of about 15 months to live — if they’re lucky. Aggressive treatment, including surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, is often started, even though oncologists know it won’t cure the disease."

You can cut, burn, and poison the tumor, but the true cause, the rotten tooth, remains unrecognized and is never addressed, so the best a person can hope for is a false sense of hope provided by remission. Please read the article I am hyperlinking here on "cure versus remission," if you are unclear why remission is not something to be desired.

A truly successful treatment of any type of illness is that the person returns to living their normal lifespan.

Problems Anywhere in the Body's Circuits Can Prevent Optimum Health

"Blown circuits" can happen when there are any type of bad structural, chemical, stress, or bioenergetic problem in the body. If the circuit is blown from an organ problem, then no matter where the symptoms are affecting you, the organ problem must be addressed before the symptoms will go away. If the problem is in the gland, then it must be addressed. If the circuit is blown from a bad tooth, then that must be corrected before lasting health can be achieved. In each of these situations, the organ, gland, or tooth, may be dysfunctional due to a myriad of reasons, all of which must be identified and corrected.

A person can exercise, and even make strength gains, but it will still be only about 40% of what should be available. Imagine how fast you would heal, having 60% more integrity in the muscles!” While eating and living with integrity are definitely steps in the right direction, only a doctor trained to identify and address the myriad of circuit problems can get your body truly reset.

The key to understanding how important these connections are is that any problem anywhere in the circuit will cause everything on that circuit to “blow”, much like overloading the electrical circuit in your house. Everything on the circuit will suffer the same fate!

So in the above example, if the tooth has a bad infection or is being affected by a large silver amalgam filling, or even a bad root canal, it will “blow” the energetic integrity of everything else on that circuit, and the psoas muscles will reflect the problem as a loss of strength.

Athletes depend upon their muscles to ultimately perform and excel in their sport. Few people understand that it is not enough to simply exercise a lot. Not if you want to become a truly world-class athlete, or to simply get back to health and endurance after a prolonged illness.

We have used this new understanding of body circuits to virtually instantly “cure” people who have been paralyzed and others who have not been able to walk for years. We have been able to turn good athletes into Nationally-ranked athletes who eventually qualified to compete to go to the Olympics!

Once the circuits of the body have been “turned on” again, one can begin to reach their maximum potential in all aspects of life. Although I am aware that everyone would just want to be told to take this or that supplement, or herbal remedy at home, both of which can be beneficial, the only way to get all of the 23 circuits up an running all at the same time, that I am aware of, is through having a broad range of training in understanding the interconnections of the body, and using our innovative adjunctive testing called BioResonance Scanning (BRS) to facilitate the body's restoration of all the problems that are blowing the many circuits of the body. It requires a lot of problem-identifying and problem-solving skills to achieve this goal.

Healing is Most Often a Process, More Than an Event. 
When asked “How can you get these amazing results so quickly?” I answer with, “When the circuit in your house blows, how long does it take the lights to come back on once you have flipped the switch back on?” “Instantly!”

Complete health restoration is a process, not a one time circuit treatment. Simply getting the circuits online again can often achieve phenomenal, virtually instantaneous improvements in muscle strength and endurance, but it can take months and years of work to get back to the level of physical strength and overall health that you desire.

All the vitamins, supplements, and various treatments in the world should be seen as numbers in a combination lock for the bank vault door, behind which lies the wealth of your health. Unless you get the numbers in the correct order, you will never get the door to open. This is why most chronically ill people have a virtual pharmacy in their cupboards of supplements and remedies, often given to them by top natural doctors, using all manner of muscle testing and computerized testing devices, all to no avail.

You can have the right numbers (remedies), but in the wrong order, and the bank vault of your health will not open. To complicate things, some problems cannot be fixed with just supplements. If the tooth on a circuit is rotten and there is a cavitation in the jawbone, the circuit can still be turned on, by bypassing the tooth, but in the end the tooth and cavitation will need to be removed and the dead bone cleaned out.

In the same way, bacterial infections, such as in Lyme disease, are analogous to the mouse that chewed the wiring. The difference is that the bacteria couldn't have caused so much damage and so many circuit problems if the circuits were all online and functioning correctly in the first place.

The circuit problems are then the primary cause, and the bacteria just opportunistically made things worse. This is why killing the bacteria in an all out war, bombing them with antibiotics just makes a person more damaged in their circuits.

Your immune system cannot work correctly without the circuits working at full integrity. The only way to really permanently beat these horrible infections is by correcting the circuits, and helping the body naturally eliminate and regulate the bacterial population.

True healing cannot occur by simply masking the symptoms. Health restoration requires the doctor to use the correct healing tools for the job. The more systems that are damaged, the more circuits that are offline, and the longer you have been sick, the less likely it is that you will be able to heal at home on a generic protocol.

The protocol may have many of the right numbers, but will not be everything you need, which is why we have so many different tools, technologies, and techniques to help your body heal, and also why no two people are ever treated in the exact same manner at the Hansa Center.

If You Have Even One of These in Your Mouth You Are in Danger!

A major victory for the health of hundreds of millions of people is truly happening! After poisoning the world population, and creating much of the autoimmune, neuro-degenerative, and autonomic illnesses, the use and promotion of mercury-based dental amalgams is being eliminated from dental practice by governments worldwide!

Why is this happening? Is there a shortage of mercury causing it to be outlawed? NO! It is finally being acknowledged as extremely bad for you to have even one of these old silver amalgam fillings in your mouth.

If you have any silver amalgam fillings in your teeth you need to seriously consider getting it removed. These amalgams are toxic and have been linked to over a hundred different illnesses.

I compare this issue to the cigarette industry coverup; they knew that their cigarettes were creating health problems and hid the research. I think the ADA should be handled in the exact same manner as the cigarette industry...taken to court, and made to pay billions for the damage they knowingly inflicted upon society by ignoring and suppressing all the research that has overwhelmingly demonstrated the many problems caused by using mercury amalgams.

The ADA went as far as threatening dentist's licenses for removing mercury fillings for any reason other than for cosmetic reasons. Biological dentists and other more naturally-inclined dentists could not remove them for health and disease treatment or for disease prevention.

Read the following links for more coverage on this important issue: http://bit.ly/1v9YVZt and http://bit.ly/1CPRGXw.

"Currently dental amalgam fillings contain around 48 to 51 percent mercury by weight. Copper comes in second with the high copper amalgam now leading the markets. Copper can be from 24 to 33 percent of the amalgam. The higher the copper level, the faster the mercury and copper - both are emitted from the fillings. If a gold crown is anywhere in the mouth, mercury comes off faster. According to university studies done by Dr. Chew, over the first two years after placement, amalgams release about 34 micrograms of mercury per filling (per square centimeter of filling exposed) per day. These tests were done of silver-mercury fillings sitting in water and tested daily." - H. Huggins, DDS, The Real Story on Amalgams

If you are thinking about getting your old silver (mercury) amalgams removed and replaced with composite fillings, please be aware that there are things you need to do before, during, and after removal to insure that your body is correctly supported. You might think you are sick now, and getting the amalgam fillings and other metal retainers out will help you heal, but if done incorrectly you could go from the proverbial frying pan right into the fire!

Mercury from amalgams and other environmental, vaccine, and dietary sources is much more toxic than lead or even arsenic! (Sam, Ziff & Michael F. Ziff, D.D.S. Dentistry Without Mercury. Orlando: Bio-Probe, Inc. 2001. Pg. 11.) So even with the most careful removal of the dental metals from your teeth, it could stir up metals all over your body to relocate to new areas and cause even more damage. Remember, we call these metals toxins because they damage tissue. These are not just irritants that once removed will cause the body to instantly start working correctly. The tissues that have been damaged by the heavy metals will need support in order for the body to be able to repair the damaged tissues and restore optimum function.

Simply getting the amalgams drilled out of your teeth can liberate huge amounts of toxic heavy metals into your body. If the procedure is done poorly by the dentist, then it could even shut down your kidneys, which would result in needing dialysis for the rest of your life! (Biological dentists have extensive training and specialized equipment to safely remove these old amalgams. Find a Biological Dentist at: iabdm.org)

Over the last twenty years I have trained and worked side by side with renowned biological dentists to develop pre- and post- amalgam removal support protocols.* There are many considerations that must be taken into account to enable the liberation of the heavy metals that are inadvertently released by the amalgam removal, as well as the heavy metals that have lodged in various tissues in the body.

The following is a good pre- and post- amalgam removal protocol.* For your convenience the six primary products in the protocol are being put on our website at a reduced package price. These products should last at least one month depending on the amounts you are taking of each product.

1. BCI® (Beyond Cellular Impurities)
2. Homeopathic Dental Materials®
3. NeuroAntitox Basic Formula®
4. King Chlorella®
5. Probiotic Formula®
6. TPP-Protease®

How to Implement this Pre and Post Amalgam Removal Protocol

 

It is recommended that you begin the process of building up your organs of elimination (liver, kidneys, lungs, and skin) by beginning this protocol at least 4 weeks prior to amalgam removal and continue the protocol for three months after the last of the amalgams have been removed. Your biological dentist may want to remove the biggest and worst amalgams first and then the others on subsequent visits. Even if your dentist takes precautions to keep more metals from entering your system, you will need to still detoxify, using this or some other protocol. The dislodging and stirring up of the metals that have leached out of the fillings over the years are now released from where they have been electromagnetically held in the tissues.


1. BCI® (Beyond Cellular Impurities) - This product contains all of the documented natural, yet powerful heavy metal chelating substances. To chelate essentially means to take something that will grab onto and pull out heavy metals from the tissues and from your blood so that they can be excreted. (oral chelation explained) BCI supports the entire body, but mainly the primary organs of elimination...the liver, kidneys, lungs, and skin. If you were to try to buy a bottle of every nutrient required to address everything needed to safely and efficiently chelate out heavy metals, support the tissues, and kill microbes like candida, parasites, and mold, that like to bind up heavy metals and hold them in your body, it would likely cost you several hundred dollars. This product is a packet of several capsules and tablets that contains everything you need in one convenient product for supporting all the organs of elimination and chelating heavy metals out of the body. Each container of BCI contains 30 packets and will last one month, since you will be taking one packet per day with a meal. One packet of BCI includes:

• Binding Cellular Impurities - Binding Cellular Impurities has the same vital ingredients as the BC-I, including Vitamin K-2, Resveratrol, and the purest available Omega 3 oils, EDTA and more.  This formula provides the finest multi-vitamin/mineral available.

• Beyond Any Multiple - This new formula takes the proven product Beyond Longevity and improves it with many exciting nutrient changes. These include the addition of resveratrol and for the first time in any multiple anywhere, an all natural Vitamin K-2. At $10,000 per kilogram for Vitamin K-2, no other multiple has ever added this vital ingredient to protect bones and help prevent hardening of the arteries. This provides all the necessary minerals needed to assist the body in detoxifying and creating the environment for optimum health. "Mineral deficiency provides the opportunity for toxic metals to attach themselves to vacant binding sites. A healthy mineral base is a prerequisite for all metal detox attempts (selenium, zinc, manganese, germanium, molybdenum etc.). Substituting minerals can detoxify the body by itself." - Klinghardt, D

• Essential Daily Defense - No other garlic-based product comes close to the powerful, synergistic combination of  this unique formula.

• Omega-3 Softgel  - The American Heart Association reports that Omega-3 fatty acids reduce heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, and sudden death! Omega-3 may also promote healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels, normal heart rhythm, healthy brain and memory function, easy joint movement.

• Ginkgo Biloba  - Ginkgo is believed to have a regulating effect on the entire vascular system of veins, arteries and capillaries. Ginkgo promotes blood flow in the brain by working with the body to improve the use of oxygen and glucose, enhancing mental performance.

• Primrose Oil is especially popular with women and active people seeking nutritional support for their personal health requirements.  These essential fatty acids are necessary components of all body cells, but not found in commonly consumed foods.

2. Homeopathic Dental Materials® (1 fl. oz.) - This homeopathic remedy helps with dental material sensitivity that may flare during the extraction process and assists the body in eliminating toxicity and reactions to the anesthetics and new dental materials that the dentist may use to replace the old amalgam fillings. This is a homeopathic cord of the energetic principle of mercury and other dental materials (cord = multiple potencies of the same substance in the same bottle). It may sound like you are putting mercury and other potentially toxic substances in your body, but it is just the homeopathic signature of mercury and materials that will cause the body to push those substances out of the tissues, so that the chelating agents in the BCI can grab onto them and whisk them out of the body. Research has documented that if an animal were injected with a sublethal dose of a heavy metal that the body would naturally eliminate about 30% of the metal via the urine and feces. If the animal is given the homeopathic cord of that metal, the body will immediately eliminate another 39% of the metal from the tissues. This homeopathic remedy contains the energetic homeopathic potencies of : Caries, Gingivitis, Periodontitis 16x, 20x, 30x. Root Ostitis 20x, 30x. Argentum Metallicum, Mercurius Solubilis, Aurum Metallicum, Platinum Metallicum, Dental Materials (Amalgams, Composites, Bonding Resins, Dentin Bonders, Cavity Liners, Metals, Ceramics, Cements, Temporary Restoratives, Root Canal Materials, Anesthetics, Denture Materials, Flourides) 30x, 60x, 100x, 500x, 1000x. Recommended starting dose would be 3 drops under the tongue 1 time per day, for a week, increasing to 10 drops twice a day under the tongue thereafter. *As in all liquid remedies, do not touch the dropper to your mouth, or set the dropper down on a counter. Keep the bottle and dropper tightly sealed, as sterile as possible, and at least one foot away from cellphones, and other electronic devices and appliances.

3. NeuroAntitox Basic Formula® - Anytime toxins are being addressed the best way to avoid getting new symptoms is to neutralize the toxic effects of the substances right where they are, instead of dragging toxic substances through the tissues, causing damage all the way as they are moved through the body for elimination. I developed this formula to specifically enable people to dramatically reduce the symptoms that are often associated with heavy metal detoxification and eliminating microbial die-off toxins, which often also contain heavy metals. This product is one of the few products that research has shown will enable the body to eliminate toxins locked up in the brain. A good start would be to take 1 dropper in purified water 2-3 times a day and work your way up to 3 droppers, 3 times a day to support the body.

4. King Chlorella® - Not all chlorella products are created equal. Some varieties are extremely difficult for people to digest and therefore cause more problems than they fix. King Chlorella is the best form of broken-wall chlorella, and is therefore one of the easiest to digest and one of the most biologically active of the various chlorella products, at a reasonable price. Chlorella has a mucopolysaccaride membrane and chlorophyl (the green in plants similar to hemoglobin) that enables it to "sweeten the intestines," and pull many different types of toxins out of the body. I recommend chewing 1-3 a day and working your way up to as many as 10-12 a day. If the taste makes it too difficult to chew then simply swallow them whole. It it not necessary to push yourself and suffer by taking too many too soon. Listen to your body. If you are struggling, then back off until you feel you can add more to your daily regimen. Chlorella can be as effective as the prescription Cholestyramine at pulling toxins out of the body.

5. Probiotic Formula® by Transformation Enzymes, Inc. - Probiotics are friendly bacteria that colonize the health human intestines. These friendly flora bacteria help eliminate or kill the Candida, fungi, and harmful bacteria that will often grab onto and hold the heavy metals, preventing the metals from being eliminated from your body. There are many different probiotic supplements on the market, but they are not all the same, even if the types of friendly bacteria listed on the label are identical. How the bacteria are produced, whether they can withstand an acidic or alkaline environment or both, any the actual ratio and number of the various bacteria are important as well. General recommendation it to take 1 capsule morning and evening.

6. TPP-Protease® by Transformation Enzymes, Inc.- This systemic enzyme is designed to help breakdown biofilms and fibrin, as well as reduce inflammation. A general recommended dose is to start with 2 capsules, 2 times a day on an empty stomach with an 8 oz. glass of water (Empty stomach = at least 45 minutes before eating, and at least an hour after eating, to insure that the protease enzyme is not used up just digesting the proteins from your meal.)

Supportive Therapies That You Can Do at Home

 

1. Drink a good whey protein powder supplement such as the great product, Goatein® by Garden of Life, Inc. Goatein is available in most health food stores. According to the world-renowned physician, Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, "Proteins provide the important precursors to the endogenous metal detox and shuttle agents, such as coeruloplasmin, metallothioneine, glutathione and others. The branched-chain amino acids in cow and goat whey have valuable independent detox effects. Metals attach themselves only in places that are programmed for attachment of metal ions. Just as important are electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium), which help to transport toxic waste across the extracellular space towards the lymphatic and venous vessels."

• Goat milk is the closest to human mother's milk in nature making it superior to bovine whey protein or whey isolates. Goatein® is also unique for the following reasons:
•  It is a unique protein powder made from goat's milk.
• Easy to digest - can be tolerated by many people who have difficulty digesting cow's milk .
• An excellent source of complete protein (13g per serving) that contains all eight essential amino acids - protein building blocks crucial to good health.
• Goatein® is an animal protein. Animal proteins are the only complete sources of protein. Vegetarian protein sources such as soy are typically missing one or more of the essential amino acids, even if their protein content is high.
• Goatein contains pure goat's milk from goats raised without antibiotics or growth hormones. Many commercial dairy protein powders are produced from animals given antibiotics and hormones.
• Many vegetable proteins are made from non-organic or genetically modified organisms and may contain chemical residues.
• Goatein is processed without excessive heat so all its elements remain in their natural forms. Other milk protein powders that claim to be minimally processed are in fact subject to invasive processing, including heating and drying at high temperatures.
• Protein molecules in goat's milk have a different structure than those in cow's milk. This allows certain people who cannot tolerate bovine milk to consume milk protein from goats. 
• Goatein® goats are not fed pesticides, herbicides, growth hormones, or antibiotics.

2. Drink 1/2 a gallon of distilled water per day and a 1/4 to 1/2 gallon of purified water per day, such as the Penta Water® brand of micro-clustered water from your local health food store. Even if a worker is exposed to heavy metals at their place of work, and are hospitalized as a result of the heavy metal toxicity, the hospital will have them drink distilled water to help pull the heavy metals out of circulation. Distilled water is demineralized, therefore it will pull other minerals and metals out of the tissues. For obvious reasons, such as pulling too many beneficial minerals out of the bones and tissues of the body, a person would not want to drink copious amounts of distilled water for more than four weeks. The product BCI that I recommend in this protocol has in its formulation all of the necessary minerals that would need to be replenished.

3. Skin Brushing - (skin brushes can be purchased from the Hansa Center store by calling 316-686-5900 ext 2) Click on the blue hyperlink to read how to do this properly and why dry skin brushing is important.

4. Strengthening/Nutritive Bath - Any form of detoxification is hard work for the body. For this reason many people feel fatigued while detoxing. It is important to take one day a week off from doing any supplements or detoxification therapies. On this day of allowing the body to rest, it is a good idea to do a Strengthening/Nutritive Bath. This bath allows the energetic and nutritive aspects of the bath ingredients to bypass the digestive tract, which would be taxed even more having to deal with the bath ingredients. If possible, do this bath after doing the Dry Skin Brushing protocol so that you knock off a lot of the dead skin and soap/oil residue that would otherwise block the absorption of the beneficial aspects of this bath. The Dry Skin Brushing will also stimulate the circulation of the lymphatic fluid and blood to pick up and distribute the healing, strengthening nutrients of the bath. This bath is a good "pick-me-up" for anytime you feel overloaded and stressed out.

5. Infrared Sauna - The skin is the largest organ of elimination of toxins. Your skin should be eliminating 2.5 pounds of waste acids and toxins per DAY! Talk about a healthy weight loss program! Most people have clogged up their skin with soap, shampoo, lotions, oils, and powders. (The best and safest broad-specrum infrared sauna ) Avoid saunas that are made with plastics, glue, heavily scented wood types, such as cedar, hemlock, or pine, and those that generate high EMF pollution. If you cannot afford to purchase one of these saunas then please call your local gyms, health clubs, or natural doctors to see about getting access to using this important step in detoxifying your body. I have also heard several of our patients pooled their money with other people in their area to collectively buy one they could all use.

*If you are pregnant, breastfeeding a child do not undergo any form of detoxification, since the heavy metals and toxins will end up in your baby! If you are excessively sick, weak, or emaciated, then do not start any form of detoxification before discussing it with your health care professional! The products recommended in this protocol are all well tolerated by reasonably healthy individuals, however it is a good idea to discuss this protocol with your natural health care doctor before starting no matter what your health condition, to strategize when you should implement this protocol if you are already taking supplements for another purpose. It may be that your doctor will want you to wait until the protocol you are already on is completed before beginning this protocol, since there is the possibility that the products of this protocol will interfere either with the products you are already taking, or will be too much for your body to handle both protocols at the same time. Although this protocol seeks to eliminate or minimize any worsening of health problems as a result of the detoxification process, due to the complexity of the human condition there remains the possibility of symptoms getting worse. Again, discuss this protocol with your health care professional before beginning, and stop or get support if your condition worsens. This protocol is not intended to treat, cure, diagnose, or mitigate any disease or illness, and has not been evaluated by the FDA.
