ProtocolsHeavy Metal Detox a natural method
After numerous trials with many different natural substances, Dr. Georgiou came up with a unique combination of three natural products, none of which actually work when taken individually, but when mixed together there is a powerful synergy that eliminates most metals.
01EVERYONE IS TOXIC!
Hundreds of toxins, even in newborns
In September 2005, Greenpeace International with the World Wildlife Fund, published a document entitled “Present for Life: Hazardous Chemicals in Umbilical Cord Blood.”
The research was a real eye-opener as it showed convincingly that newborns tested for hundreds of different xenobiotics showed high numbers and levels of these toxins. Specifically, the blood tests showed that these newborns had an average of 287 toxins in their bodies, 180 of these are known carcinogens.
Some of these chemicals included the commonly used artificial musk HHCB, which was found in almost all blood samples and at higher levels than the other artificial musks. Musk ambrette, a chemical banned for use in cosmetics in the EU since 1995, was still found in 15 maternal and 12 cord blood samples.
Three generations
Children more contaminated than their grandparents
The main conclusion is that if these chemicals are present in newborns, then what is the probability that these toxic chemicals are also present in us adults and our children?
The report entitled, “Contamination: The Next Generation” summarises the findings of the analysis of 104 different chemicals in the blood of 33 volunteers from seven families living in England, Scotland and Wales. The volunteers in each family spanned three generations, generally comprising the grandmother, mother and two children.
The volunteers comprised 14 children, 13 adults and six grandmothers. The ages of the volunteers ranged from nine years to 88 years. All three generations tested, including the children, were contaminated by a cocktail of hazardous man-made chemicals.
The results reveal that every child, from as young as nine years (none younger were tested), was contaminated by the same range of hazardous chemicals: organochlorine pesticides, PCBs, brominated flame-retardants, phthalates and perfluorinated (“non-stick”) chemicals.
Five chemicals found in each parent and grandparent were also found in every child. While it might be expected that the chemical burden increases with age, this study has shown that this conventional assumption is not always true: children can be more contaminated by higher numbers and levels of certain “newer” chemicals than their parents or even their grandparents, despite being exposed to these chemicals for only a fraction of the time.
These “newer” chemicals include brominated flame retardants (used in sofas, textiles and electrical appliances) and perfluorinated chemicals (used in the manufacture of non-stick pans, coatings for takeaway food packaging and treatments for carpets, furniture, clothing and footwear).
The results also show that chemicals in everyday products around the home are contaminating the blood of all the families tested in the survey, including the children. For example, fifty seven per cent of the seven people found to be contaminated by deca-BDE, a brominated flame retardant, were children.
Of the volunteers tested, 82 per cent were contaminated by one or more perfluorinated chemical. The perfluorinated chemical PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) was found in more than a third of the children tested. A related chemical PFOS (perfluorooctane sulphonate) was found in five of the family members tested.
02WHERE DO THE TOXINS COME FROM?
A sign of our times
METALLIC LUNCH?
A study done in Canada compared heavy metal intakes in different age groups and their corresponding intake guidelines. It is clear from the report entitled, “Metallic Lunch: An Analysis of Heavy Metals in the Canadian Diet” published by Environmental Defence Canada, that Canadians are being subjected to unhealthy levels of these toxic substances.
Cadmium, which can cause kidney disease and cancer, is being eaten by Canadians of all ages above intake guidelines. Lead, which can cause negative health effects no matter how little is consumed, is in the diets of Canadians of all ages. Children are being exposed to potentially unsafe levels of copper, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, and zinc.
A recent report that tested mercury levels in Sushi in New York restaurants found levels that far exceeded the acceptable levels in fish. A lot of the questions regarding risk assessment when eating fish, is addressed in an interesting paper entitled “Risks and Benefits of Fish Consumption: Yes, Mercury is a Problem.”
TOXINS EVERYWHERE!
Another interesting report by World Wildlife Fund – UK (2005), entitled “Still Dirty:A Review of Action Against Toxic Products in Europe” highlights the occurrence of hazardous chemicals in everyday products and reports on which EU member states have taken proactive measures to help protect their citizens and wildlife.
The report mentions that Phthalates used in plastics and cosmetics have been linked to reduced sperm counts. LAS, a major washing powder ingredient, is poorly broken down in rivers and soils, and may be toxic to soil organisms. Lead is still in use and is particularly toxic to children and wildlife.
People who eat regularly from tinned food are likely to develop chronic gastrointestinal problems as a research study reported in Food and Chemical Toxicology entitled, “Tin in Canned Food: A Review and Understanding of Occurrence and Effect”
AMALGAM FILLINGS AND MERCURY
Mercury used in amalgam tooth fillings is a big issue of contention. Amalgam was found to be a cheap and long lasting substance to fill teeth with, but the danger of mercury poisoning was overlooked or ignored. The use of amalgams is now prohibited in many – though not all – countries. Dr. Engel, a holistic dentist, has written an interesting paper on the “Health Observations Before and After Amalgam Removal”
The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology has produced a very interesting video describing the amount of mercury that is released from amalgam fillings, even though they may be over 30 years old.
Chewing gum, drinking hot drinks and brushing teeth can increase the amount of methyl mercury released from amalgam fillings. If you ever have doubts about how lethal mercury is for the nervous system, and particularly the brain, you have to see the video produced by the University of Calgary, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Physiology and Biophysics – it clearly shows how mercury completely degenerates neural fibres in a petri dish in zero time – it’s a fascinating video to watch!
VACCINATIONS AND DRUGS AS SOURCES OF TOXINS
The drugs used in vaccines and inoculations have for many years used Thimerosal as a preservative. This contains around 50% mercury and is very highly toxic, often being linked to the huge increase in autism cases. There is an interesting article published in Medical hypotheses entitled, “Autism: a Novel Form of Mercury Poisoning” showing how exposure to mercury can cause immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioural dysfunctions similar to traits defining or associated with autism; and the similarities extend to neuroanatomy, neurotransmitters, and biochemistry. By the age of 10, a child may be many hundreds of times over what is considered a “safe” dose of mercury poisoning from his injections.
You can find the components of most of the vaccinations that are used today, taken directly from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) official website at https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/downloads/appendices/B/excipient-table-2.pdf or download it HERE
Although Thimerosal has been phased out of many preparations, many childhood and adult vaccines contain aluminium, another neurotoxic agent.
03WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?
Drugs for acute poisoning; a natural method for the rest
The medical profession uses chemical drugs like EDTA, DMSA, DMPS and others to ‘chelate’ the body of toxic heavy metals. These need medical supervision and are expensive. They also have side effects because they are drastic measures and toxicologists recommend these for acute poisonings where it is important to eliminate the toxins quickly.
A NATURAL METHOD!
HMD™: three natural products, one powerful synergy
There are several natural products on the market. Most have no research to back up their claims, or are based on anecdotal evidence or simply very poor methodology.
Some chelate one or two toxic metals, but not others. Many of the products whose literature purports to chelate heavy metals, have actually been tested by Dr. Georgiou, the inventor and worldwide IP Rights owner of HMD® – these have been published in scientific papers – see below.
After numerous trials with many different natural substances, Dr. Georgiou came up with a unique combination of three natural products, none of which actually work when taken individually, but when mixed together there is a powerful synergy that chelates most metals.
This is the product that is now called HMD® and has undergone extensive testing in a one million dollar placebo-controlled double-blind trial – the research papers written on HMD® can be downloaded below:
At the Da Vinci Holistic Health Centre we base our heavy metal detox protocols on this cutting-edge research and use a combination of the HMD®, HMD LAVAGE® and HMD® CHLORELLA, called the HMD® DETOX PACK.
These 3 products use a Triple-Action System to MOBILIZE - BIND - ELIMINATE.
