METAL-FREE Protocols
The most convenient aspect of METAL-FREE is its ease of use
and responsiveness
to various testing methodologies. We include three ways to check
this with the following protocols: Fecal analysis challenge,
EAV, and Autonomic Response Testing.
Fecal Analysis Challenge
Due to the fact that METAL-FREE eliminates bound toxic metals
mainly through the GI tract, testing the stool for heavy metals
with Doctors Data Laboratory gives excellent results. As there
is no known accurate method of testing the total heavy metal
load in the body, the easiest way is to administer a challenge
with a proven chelator such as METAL-FREE and measure results.
In mercury toxic patients, random stool samples may not show
elevated levels of heavy metals. This can occur especially if
the body is mineral deficient and it will hold heavy metals to
keep anion/cation balance. Thus unless a chelator is given the
body may not detox and release these metals. To this end, one
must collect a "Pre" challenge stool sample. Following this,
administer Metal-Free and collect a "Post" sample of feces. These
are then analyzed for toxic elemental content. If a patient has
a heavy metal burden, one will see "Post" excretion in the toxic
range. This may include mercury, lead, copper, cadmium, arsenic,
uranium, antimony or others. If the results indicate that the
patient has toxic levels of any of the metals, it is wise to
initiate a thorough detox program.
A simple, step-by-step METAL-FREE challenge protocol follows:
1. Screen potential patients who have risk factors for mercury
toxicity such as chronic
occupational exposure
to heavy metals (such
as dentists or dental
personnel), history
of dental amalgams, or exposure as a fetus to maternal amalgams,
etc. Also anyone with chronic illness fatigue, auto immune disease,
cancer, persistent infection with virus, candida, mycoplasma,
Lyme, or parasites is suspect. Patients with hormone deficiency,
especially of thyroid and adrenal should also be screened.
2. Have patient cease for 5 days other chelators or supplements
that might interfere with the challenge such as: Vitamin C, MSM,
Redoxal, chlorella, cilantro, charcoal, DMPS, DMSA, Pro-Greens,
Minerals and garlic.
3. Five days prior to and throughout the test suspend usage or consumption
of the following substances: Fish, shellfish, Oyster shell calcium and dolomite
supplements, Barium enemas, Bentonite clay, Mineral or Castor Oil, Rectal
Suppositories, Bismuth-containing medications (e.g. Pepto Bismol) and antacids.
These will give inaccurate fecal results.
4. Have patient collect a "Pre" challenge fecal sample. Once collected this
should be sent to Doctor's Data for Fecal analysis on heavy metals.
5. The following day have the patient take a loading dose of METAL-FREE of
15 sprays sublingual on an empty stomach three times the first day. This
is a total of 45 sprays the first day for adult patients. For children under
3 years use one spray (or 8 drops) three times a day. For 3-6 years, two
sprays three times the first day, for 6-10 years, three sprays three times
the first day. Each dose is followed by the Omura "uptake enhancement." This
is done by rapidly rubbing the palms together for 3-5 minutes following each
dose. The purpose of this is to open the regulation of the autonomic nervous
system and enhance delivery of METAL-FREE to the tissues. Patient tolerance
may dictate lower doses, so this should be monitored and adjusted by the
practitioner. The following four days, patients take 1/3 of the first days
loading dose upon rising, before food. For the adult this would be 15 sprays
and do the hand rubbing procedure for 3-5 minutes as in day one. Children
also take 1/3 of the first days total dose. After five days collect a post
challenge stool and send into Doctors Data lab for analysis. In children,
if levels are low on the second (challenged) stool, we double the challenge
dose for five more days and repeat the stool test. Children may require adult
type doses (4-8 sprays) to get a response.
6. When both sets of results are received, you are looking for any metals that
are past the reference range into the toxic level. If this is the case for
any of the metals, a detox protocol should be begun. This would include a
maintenance dose (1-8 sprays) of METAL-FREE each day, until toxic levels
come down into normal range. Patients should be monitored every 1-2 months
as to current levels. Other supplements can be added to the program at the
discretion of the supervising healthcare practitioner. A list of these can
be found later in this booklet. A typical combination in our clinic would
be METAL-FREE, Vitamin C, Garlic, Chorella, Cilantro, Multivits, and Multiminerals.
7. The term of detox varies greatly on amount of toxic load, supplementation
program, current exposure, age and other factors. At my clinic we have seen
patients detox anywhere from 1 month to over a year.
8. METAL-FREE is compatible and can be given with other chelators such as DMPS,
which can be given monthly IV at physician discretion.
9. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO EMPHASIZE TO THE PATIENT THAT DAILY BOWEL MOVEMENTS
ARE IMPORTANT WHILE DOING THE DETOX AND THAT AT LEAST ONE HALF OUNCE OF WATER
PER POUND BE CONSUMED DAILY.
