- Detoxification Aids -




There are three consecutively ongoing stages of a detoxification process. "Mobilization," "Chelation" (binding with, or latching onto), and "Removal." The natural supplements and pharmaceutical chelators do an excellent job of dislodging the heavy metals from your tissues and "mobilizing" them in your system. They also do an excellent job of hooking up with, or binding to, the metal molecules that are dislodged. The third stage of the process is removing the toxins from your body via urine, feces, and sweat. Dietary and supplemental fiber (as well as chlorella and charcoal) play a major role in the excretion process. Chances are, the dietary fiber (the fiber coming from the foods you eat (in the Standard American Diet) is not adequate for the detox removal stage. You MUST, therefore, take supplemental fiber often, and in larger-than-normal quantities. fiber affects debris transit time. If you don't increase your fiber intake, the toxins can remain in your intestinal tract longer than necessary giving additional time for reabsorption. If that happens, you will have wasted your time/effort/money on mobilization/chelation supplements. I can't stress this point enough. Take the fiber supplements!

 




























































































































































































This information is repeated on the Daily Supplements page:

Most listed products are available from a distributor called N.E.E.D.S. (Nutritional Ecological Environmental Delivery System)  800-634-1380  www.needs.com. I prefer to order from N.E.E.D.S. because they are a central distributing house for hundreds of different manufacturers. 

Although you can order most products via their website (and each item below is linked directly to the respective item webpage), there are some products which are not available via the web. For those products, you must place your order via telephone. Call in your orders Monday through Friday 8am - 7pm eastern and Saturday 9am - 5:30pm eastern. Incidently, I have found the phone operators to be extremely knowledgable about their products, and the company also has "wellness counselors" available for you to speak to. 
When placing your first order, ask them to send you their free catalog. In my supplement list which follows, the N.E.E.D.S. item number is shown with each item. For example: NPR-5108-060. Any product not available from N.E.E.D.S. will be listed as "ORDER DIRECT," with accompanying ordering information. Go to www.needs.com for complete product descriptions, or simply click on the individual item links below.

Notes:
1.  Note to vegans: Some of the listed supplements contain gelatin in the outer capsule. I am currently investigating alternative products. Until then, you can find substitutes at N.E.E.D.S.
2.  You are solely responsible for establishing which supplements, if any, produce an allergic reaction in your body.

3.  Many listed products have some of the same ingredients. Caution was taken to make sure their was no toxicity caused by the cumulative amount of each ingredient. That is, each product was listed in a spread sheet showing all ingredients. Each ingredient was then evaluated for it's total load, the cumulative value if one would be taking all the supplements. It is in this way that the resultant list was formed.
4.  WARNING: Remember - as a general guideline, keep supplements out of reach of children.




- Detoxification Aids -


Detoxification - Mobilization Stage - Primary Product


The foundation of my Detox Action Plan utilizes a product manufactured by a company called Science Formulas. Developed by Dr. Alan Greenberg, M.D., practicing neurology and psychiatry with several years of postgraduate training in biochemistry, the product is called Chelorex®. To quote from Science formulas literature, Chelorex® “is an oral chelator that was developed based on Alan Greenberg, M.D.’s clinical experience with heavy metal poisoning during his 25 years of medical practice. Chelorex® contains NO synthetic chelation agents (EDTA, DMPS or DMSA) which frequently cause adverse side effects. This formulation contains all natural ingredients that enhance the body’s natural mechanisms for excreting heavy metals. It contains glutathione precursors that can pass through the blood brain barrier and antioxidants to protect the liver, kidneys, central nervous system and immune function. Chelorex® also has key ingredients that mobilize heavy metals and protect against their reabsorption.” Chelorex® is available in either tablet or liquid form.

After studying countless publications and products, I have chosen Chelorex® to be the foundation of my detox action plan. Chelorex® is sold directly from Science Formulas, Inc. through their website www.scienceformulas.com or via telephone at 800-675-4568. For recommended dosages, check the website.

NOTE: For those people who dislike taking tablets, Chelorex® is available in liquid form. Dosage for both tablets and liquid is based on body weight. See the Science Formulas literature for dosage.
