Detoxification of Heavy Metals protecting Brain Function

[Guest guest]

Dr. Rowen,MD in his newsletter Second Opinion of September 2010,

has an article on the detoxification of Heavy Metals, such as Mercury and

Lead using dietary supplements.

It is acknowledged that mercury, lead and other heavy metals are very toxic

and have severe effects on brain and neurological function. Mercury

exposures come from environmental contacts from eating some fish high in

mercury, emissions from coal fired power plants and water contamination. But

one

of the worst and most direct is the gradual, but constant release from

mercury fillings, although many of us have stopped getting new mercury amalgam

fillings, many of us still have old mercury fillings. This is a good way to

limit that exposure.

Dr.Rowen has used a combination of selenium 200 mcg daily, N-Acetyl

Cysteine 500 mg taken 3 times daily, alpha lipoic acid 300 mg daily and vitamin

C

1,000 mg two to three times daily. He sometimes added dl-methionine 100mg

daily for those who had extremely high levels of mercury. All of these

nutrients work to raise Glutathione levels, which are the body's principal

detoxifier of mercury.

Unfortunately oral administration of glutathione does not pass the

blood-brain barrier, where it is needed, but oral administration of these

supplements does increase glutathione levels.

Your body tries to eliminate some of the mercury and other heavy metals

that are inactivated by glutathione by routing them into the liver/gallbladder

and expelled with the bile into the intestinal tract. But in the

intestine, the toxins can become free for reabsorption.Some recent studies have

shown greater

about twice the mercury detoxification in urinary and fecal excretion

compared to the amount of mercury excreted by controls not taking chlorella.

Dr.Rowen now adds chlorella, (chew 15 tablets once or twice daily) to the

above nutrients. By measuring the chelated mercury levels before and after

the treatment, Dr.Rowen found that the combination of nutrients without

chlorella lowered mercury from the high to " normal " range in almost every

patient after a 3 month course of treatment.

Dr.Rowen started using these years ago, in over 2,000 patients and they

have been successful detoxifying mercury.

Once you get the heavy metals down to a safer-normal level, you can reduce

the amounts above to supplements to 1 per day and chlorella to 10-15 per

day.

If you have these heavy metals it would be a good idea to see an

alternative medical doctor to measure it and monitor your progress.

In truth there is really no " normal " level of mercury, but we have gotten

used to living with some burden as a concession to our ubiquitous toxic

exposures.

Could you please clarify!

Are you saying that he decided that chlorella is a good addition to his formula

or should it not be part of his formula to chelate?

Dr.Rowen has a combination of these nutrients called Advanced Detox

Formula, without the chlorella made by Advanced Bionutritionals.

Hi ,

Dr.Rowen is now adding Chlorella supplements to what was his original

protocol for Detoxification of heavy metals. it helps prevent the reabsorption

of those heavy metals from the intestine.

Hi ,

Dr.Rowen suggests for mercury detoxification two tablets of his detox

formula twice a day with meals,and chew 15 tablets of chlorella in the evening.

The Detox formula consists of Selenium 200mcg, N-Acetyl Cysteine 500mg, 3

times a day, alpha lipoic acid 300 mg/day, Vitamin C 1000 mg, 2 to 3
