Heavy Metal Toxicity. What should be healthy is no longer. The trouble with organic kale.

Who would have that possible: organic kale may actually be bad for you. It turns out because kale accumulates sulfur, as part of its beneficial effect, it can in the modern age of pollution, also accumulate Thallium and Cesium.. which can be very bad. So organic kale can be bad for you? Yes, it depends where it is produced. It turns out areas with lots of air pollution from cars, and perhaps that use fracking water for plant hydration.. both these entities contain Thallium an

Chelation Strategies. Follow the route of acquisition.

Chelation Strategies. Follow the route of acquisition.

It is straight-forward that since Gd is presently acquired in disease levels by intravenous route or direction injection route, that chelation needs to follow the route of administration. Studies looking at the electron micrographs of deposited Gd, find the metal primarily in the perivascular space... It is deposited in the fashion it was administered: in around vessels. The same is true of metals acquired by other routes, that much of the deposition should follow the pathway

Immune system function: Sculpting a figure out of a block of stone.

Previously I have described the immune system as an orchestra with 1,000 instruments playing, and all playing in a certain pattern, timing, amplitude, etc - like instruments in an orchestra. All of those features matter- otherwise you go from Beethoven';s 9th symphony to atonalism. T cell regulation to T cell dysregulation. Another model to describe the action is carving a sculpture (like Michelangelo's David, or the ancient Greek master of Venus de Milo) out of a block of s

DTPA Treatment for GDD. What to do about Flare and Fear of Flaring.

DTPA Treatment for GDD. What to do about Flare and Fear of Flaring.

There are no studies with a matched control in GDD patients, so it is difficult to know if someone gets worse because the disease on its own is getting worse, or if they are worse following DTPA. If chelation done well, it is almost always GDD progression. Doing chelation well is highly nuanced for a number of individuals. The basics: 1. it is Gd that is making you sick, so getting Gd out of your body makes sense, and the sooner the better, so you don't get into the territory
