Chelating

There are so-called chelating agents available to promote the elimination of certain radioactive particles. ❋ Jonathan D. Rockoff (2011)

I also started her on DMSA (a chelating agent) to help bind the mercury from her tissues and cells and help her excrete it. ❋ MD Mark Hyman (2010)

"It is well-documented that glyphosate promotes soil pathogens and is already implicated with the increase of more than 40 plant diseases; it dismantles plant defenses by chelating vital nutrients; and it reduces the bioavailability of nutrients in feed, which in turn can cause animal disorders," he wrote. ❋ Unknown (2011)

The selectivity, efficacy and safety characteristics of succimer offer many advantages over currently available agents. 1 As an oral agent, it offers ease of administration and offers physicians the option of treating children as outpatients. 2,3 The specificity of succimer substantially reduces the risk of essential mineral depletion associated with conventional chelating agents. ❋ Unknown (2010)

In addition to a diagnostic blood level concentration determined prior to therapy initiation, patients should be monitored for rebound in blood lead concentrations after therapy, because, as with all chelating agents, elevated blood lead concentrations and associated symptoms may return rapidly after discontinuation of succimer due to redistribution of lead from bone stores to soft tissues. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Determination and metabolism of dithiol chelating agents. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The only FDA-approved chelating agents are available only by prescription and approved for use in specific indications such as lead poisoning and iron overload. ❋ Rob Stein (2010)

Succimer is a heavy metal chelating agent that, in vitro, forms stable water soluble complexes with lead4 and consequently increases the urinary excretion of lead. 2-9 Succimer has also been found to chelate other toxic heavy metals such as arsenic10 and mercury. 11 ❋ Unknown (2010)

I used a chelating substance, which binds up metals in the body and carries them out in the urine and stool. ❋ M.D. Mark Hyman (2009)

Studies have found that using DMPS increases mercury excretion from 3 to 107-fold.14 The chelating agents or drugs, DMPS and DMSA, are both used to test for and to treat heavy metal toxicity. ❋ M.D. Mark Hyman (2009)

Finally, I met Dr. Hyman and after listening to my story he did a series of tests to uncover that I had severe mercury poisoning with levels at two hundred sixty normal levels of mercury in the urinary chelating test are below four and a significant thyroid imbalance. ❋ M.D. Mark Hyman (2009)

* Testing for heavy metals is performed by taking a chelating agent, then collecting your urine to measure the amount your body excretes. ❋ M.D. Mark Hyman (2009)

Once you have improved your health and optimized your detoxification system, you can begin working to remove metals from your body through various approaches, including safe amalgam removal see www.iaomt.org and the use of chelating agents such as DMSA, which is a prescription medication designed and approved for lead removal in children, but also effective for mercury and many other toxic metals. ❋ M.D. Mark Hyman (2009)

Unless of course you are wanting to make dramatic sweeping inaccurate statements, fear monger, misinform for the intent and purpose of promoting unproven and unsafe theories of vaccines containing mercury (they dont) chelating children (dangerous) without proper testing for metal toxicity (hair samples are not proper testing), hbot, lupron (shame on geier's), spread the word on how you feel autism is tragic, person's who are autistic need to be cured etc. ❋ Unknown (2009)

False negatives (no light when there should be light): arsenate, perchlorate, most heavy metals, divalent cation chelating agents (EDTA is fine in small doses so long as Mg++ is in excess). ❋ Lou (2009)

After we gave him a test for mercury using DMPS a heavy-metal binding or chelating agent,* we found he had a level of 350 mcg/g of creatinine. ❋ M.D. Mark Hyman (2009)
