Mercury Detoxification - Specific Protocol in Adults

Dr T. E. Gabriel Stewart M.B. B.CH. B.A.O. M.I.C.G.P. A.P.C.T.   Protocol For Mercury Detoxification In Adults  Mercury has been a known poison for centuries. Toxic levels of mercury can cause or exacerbate autoimmune diseases, infections, unexplained chronic fatigue, depression, nerve impairment, memory problems, decreased mental clarity, bowel disorders and many other problems seemingly un-related. Mercury exposure occurs from mercury/silver amalgams and environmental contamination, fish, paints, numerous appliances, nasal sprays, eye drops, and certain vaccines. With special laboratory tests, experienced health care personnel can estimate the mercury load within the body by the amount excreted in the urine. This is done under the supervision of a licensed physician knowledgeable with the procedure. The clinical problem is to determine the threshold of safe tolerance and the upper limits before problems occur. There is a protocol to be followed in this process and this has been established over the years by dentists experienced in this field and the American College For Advancement Of Medicine as well as the International Board Of Chelation Therapy. Firstly the mercury amalgams are removed by a dentist familiar with the procedure. It is important that a rubber dam or suction device be used to prevent mercury vapours directly affecting the brain. Secondly intravenous administration of IV vitamins and minerals are used preferably on the day of the amalgam removal to counteract any seepage into the blood which would actually increase the levels of mercury in the tissues. I like to use the following formula: 0.45% Sodium chloride 500 ml as the carrier solution Sodium Bicarbonate 10 ml as a buffer Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) 100mg Hydroxocobalamine 1000mcg Folic acid 10mg Glutathione 300 mg Vitamin B Complex 100 mg Megnesium Sullphate 5 ml 50% solution and most importantly Vitamin C 25 grams The IV is administered over 1 to 1 ½ hours. Note: If it is logistically difficult to attend the clinic, supplements can be given orally in place of intravenously. Depending on the individual, other substances may be added as indicated. These substances act as antioxidants protecting against any mercury that may have seeped into the blood or vapours to the brain. Intravenous Vitamin C in large doses is a weak chelator of mercury. That is, it will remove any mercury that has seeped during the dental process. The final IV treatment is given after the complete removal of the amalgams. During this process oral antioxidants are used containing as a minimum vitamins A, C, E and Selenium. I also like to use purified Fish Oils, EPA and DHA Omega 3’s. Finally, after the amalgams have been removed a chelating agent DMSA (Dimercaptosuccinic Acid) is given orally according to protocol to remove the mercury from the tissues via the kidneys. After 4 to 6 months of treatment with DMSA a further test is done to determine if all mercury has been removed from the body. It should be emphasised that removing the mercury amalgams will not achieve the desired improvements without chelating out the mercury from the tissues. Problems have been encountered without using the recommended protocol This is a brief summary of the recommended protocol and further information can be obtained by making an appointment with   Dr T.E.
