Why is it important to do SCD before and during chelation

[Guest guest]

This article below was posted by Binstock on March 31 2002,on

the Autism-Mercury List(message 43517) Binstock is a famous ASD

researcher.She helped DAN Dr Jacquelyn McCandless write the book

" Children With Starving Brains " . She is quoting from another person's

paper.I will quote an excerpt from message 43517.

This article clearly demonstrates the importance of healing the gut

before attempting to chelate.SCD is the ideal diet to do before

chelation since SCD helps Leaky Gut Syndrome and Inflammatory Bowel

Disease .Most of the children with ASD have these conditions.

Some parents choose not to chelate and just do SCD (with Vitamin C)

instead.Healing the stomach and getting rid of the intestinal pathogens

restores the body's ability to detoxify naturally. The decision whether

to chelate or not chelate is made by the parents.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

During detox, the mobilized heavy metals can linger in the bowel for

between 6 and 24 hours or more before evacuation takes place. The bowel

of a healthy person may not be prone to free radical damage, but the

damaged bowel of the metal toxic patient is at least an area for added

concern and monitoring.

Methyl Mercury Formation

Candida albicans, E. Coli, oral Streptococci, and certain beneficial

gut bacteria have the ability to methylate mercury into methyl mercury,

the most noxious form of the toxin.[14] [15] [16] Most heavy metal

toxic patients suffer from chronic candidiasis. Frequent bowel

movementsreduce the time of exposure of the mercury to the bowel flora.

Intestinal Permeability and Resorption

Some of the mobilized metals may be unbound because the mobilizing and

binding mechanisms of each chelator may have different degrees of

efficiency depending on each patient's current biochemistry. The longer

the metals stay in the bowel, the more damage and inflammation they can

cause. If the patient has Leaky Gut Syndrome or Inflammatory Bowel

Disease, which most of these patients do, the increased permeability of

the intestinal wall may provide little resistance to the resorption of

these mobilized metals, which then travel back to where they came from

:the brain, kidneys, liver, connective tissue, etc., or are deposited

into previously healthy tissue. The problem with leaky gut and bowel

inflammation in general, is that they are very difficult to treat while

the metals are still present in that tissue and continuing to cause

inflammation.

Thank you for this post. I found the information particularly helpful

for my family.

Jeni Lynn (gastrointestinal problems)

mom to Margeaux (ADD that is no longer presenting itself, heavy metal

toxicity, gastrointestinal problems)

(risk for ADD, heavy metal toxicity, gastrointestinal problems)

Elle (leaky gut, heavy metal toxicity, severe eczema that is currently

gone)
