Hi, You are correct, the wording it is misleading and can be mis-interpreted. This was copied from another document and is NOT Andy's words. I will ensure it is updated to be more clear. Maybe others can clarify how the body deals with mercury in the healthy non-toxic state. My understanding is that it uses the glutathione pathway in the liver to clear mercury from the body. Andy shows the liver phase 2 pathway on page 42 AI and says 'toxic metals' are conjugated in it. This is not the same as chelating which is a strong bond. DMSA is not a naturally occurring compound. ALA is, but is found in nature in only small amounts. So I believe it is correct to say that in 'pre-toxic' times before dentists and vaccines the body used glutathione to " move " the small amounts of mercury that it encountered out of the body and also used ALA to " chelate " small amounts of mercury out of the brain and body. In modern time perhaps our glutathione pathway is overrun in some with all the mercury it was never designed to deal with. We therefore have to use chelators in un-naturally high amounts to reverse the damage. And if you are low glutathione then you need to use NAC to help. Did I also read somewhere that most ill people are low in glutathione? Perhaps others can clarify how mercury is detoxified by the body without externally providing chelators? For example how is it excreted in the hair? How do some people like the dentist in Hair Test 2 www.livingnetwork.co.za/healingnetwork/hairtest.html are able to be exposed to massive amounts of mercury and have no deranged mineral transport and feel subjectively well. What is his body using to excrete the mercury (he was not taking any chelators at the time) and feels as fit as a horse.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 >>Did I also read somewhere that most ill people are low in glutathione?<< Dean, I don't have the exact post, but I recall Andy making this statement that all chronically ill people have low glutathione. It stuck in my head because I am low glutathione. And I don't remember which board I read it on either. I read the A-M board, and Andy used to post there more frequently last year, and that may be where I read it.----------Jackie T. >>Perhaps others can clarify how mercury is detoxified by the body without externally providing chelators?

Thanks, Dean<< Dean, I don't get all this chemistry stuff real well, so not sure if I can explain it well enough, but here's what I understand about this. We have different genes or blood allelles I think they are called, that have to do with our ability to detoxify metals. You have two, or a pair, that determine this. They are APO-E2, APO-E3, and APO-E4. The APO-E2's are good excretors of metals, the E3's are in the middle, and the E4's are poor or non-excretors of metals. They have found E4's in people with Alzheimers. So your dentist in the above example probably has two E2's and is an excellent excretor of metals. So this also explains the wide variability in who gets mercury poisoning and who doesn't, and why the amount of exposure can vary. Some of us are just more genetically susceptible to it. It would be an interesting test to have done, and I don't know why you don't hear about people doing it. I think I asked one doctor and he told me it would cost about $500, but didn't encourage me to do it, saying it wouldn't help anything. But I think it would be very interesting to know, and if I win the lottery I'm getting it done!-------Jackie T Re: oral chelation clarification - protocol contradiction? >Would like some clarification on the oral chelation as outlined from Andy's protocol: >http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/healingnetwork/oral_chelation1.html >My question deals with the sentence: " NAC (N-acetyl L-cystiene) is a widely available glutathione precursor that has the >ability to directly bind and excrete mercury via its single thiol " >Notice the words directly bind and excrete.

This is not the same as chelating which is a strong bond. DMSA is not a naturally occurring compound. ALA is, but is found in nature in only small amounts. Moria's collection of Andy's posts on sulfur/glutathione may be somewhat helpful. There is more on this topic in onibasu. My understanding is if your body is able to move toxic metals into the liver, then glutathione will help get them into the bile for excretion. However if you are mercury toxic, your body's normal processes for getting the metals to the liver are not working well. I gather this part does not involve glutathione, but I'm not sure how it normally works. If we did not get huge exposures to mercury in short periods of time, such as vaccines, dental exposure, etc, then we might be able to excrete the mercury well enough. But when you get big doses in short periods, the body's mechanisms for detoxing it become compromised. When that happens, we need chelation to remove enough mercury to allow the normal detox process to work again. -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
