It's possible that a lack of MSM in your diet is keeping you chronically ill.

What is MSM?

MSM is Methyl Sulfonyl Methane. It is a natural form of organic sulfur found in all living organisms. You have MSM in your body but for many reasons it's a safe bet that your body does not have high enough of this vital stuff to keep you body functioning properly.

What is Oral Chelation Therapy?

Segments of this article were taken from the book “Questions from the Heart”

Written by Dr. Terry Chappell, M.D.

Chelation is derived from the Greek word meaning “claw”. In chemical terms it means to surround and take with. EDTA (ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid) is the most common medicine used for Chelation Therapy. It is a synthetic amino acid that removes toxic metals, such as lead, cadmium, aluminum, and arsenic. It also lowers the level of organic and inorganic calcium from the bloodstream as well as excessive iron and copper and other heavy metals. The net effect of these actions are as follows:

1. It serves as an antioxidant. Too much oxidation causes deterioration all over the body, much like hard water causes accumulation of metal deposits on the walls of pipes.

2. It serves as an anticoagulant, so that the blood doesn’t clot as easily.

3. It is a potent reducer of inorganic minerals and heavy metals in the bloodstream and subsequently in soft tissue. This reduces the hard part of hardening of the arteries, as well as the stiffening in tissue.

4. It causes magnesium to move into the cell to replace calcium that has been removed. This makes for a much healthier cell that is less likely to go into spasm.

5. By removing the toxic metals, it reduces the atherogenic process of laying down plaque in the vessels which is stimulated by these inorganic metals.

6. It reduces blood pressure by reducing spasm of the vessels and by the removal of lead, mercury, cadmium and other heavy metals, which have been scientifically found to play a roll in high blood pressure.

EDTA improves circulation throughout the body in both large and small vessels, and also improves cell-membrane function in all the tissue of the body.

Why Are Supplemental Vitamins, Minerals, and
Herbs Used in Conjunction with Chelation Therapy?

Chelation Therapy removes some good minerals from the body as well as the toxic ones. Unfortunately EDTA does not know the difference between toxic minerals (inorganic minerals) and good minerals. The good minerals have to be replaced with oral mineral supplements. Some vitamins help in the removal of heavy metals, such as vitamin A and Vitamin C. Chelation Therapy can also be supplemented with the use of other amino acids such as Lipoic Acid. Lipoic Acid helps bond heavy metals for removal. Chlorella (an herb from the sea) can help pull out vaporous mercury from inside the cell. EDTA can then bond with it and help remove it from the body.

How is Diet Used to Supplement Oral Chelation?

Diet is very important during Oral Chelation. Fats of all kinds must be reduced, but particularly saturated fats which are found in dairy products and meats. Any fat that is cooked or processed is found to be hazardous, even polyunsaturated fats. Refined carbohydrates are also important to avoid, particularly sugar. It is also important to avoid too much salt and food additives. Eat plenty of fresh organic fruits and vegetables.

What Kind of Water Should I Drink?

The majority of the body’s makeup is water. It is very important that we have a good source of high quality water and that we drink plenty of it to flush the body and provide the fluids that we need. Unfortunately some water is toxic. Pesticides, heavy metals, and other toxic substances are routinely found in most water sources. Chlorine has some possible detrimental effects and certainly nobody should drink softened water on a regular basis due to the high sodium content.

The best recommendation is to drink 4 ounces of distilled water every 30 minutes. The extra water enables the blood to flow more freely, helps the kidneys in their removal of waste, especially if EDTA is removing heavy metals. Drinking plenty of water also helps the bowels move better.

Why Should My Bowels be Moving Three Times Daily.

You should make sure your bowels are moving at least 3 times daily to help with the detoxification process during the Oral Chelation Program. Keeping the bowels moving sufficiently can reduce the effects of detoxification (healing crisis) by allowing

waste and toxins to escape the body. Since most waste removed by EDTA dumps into the bowels is very important to keep your bowels moving. Psyllium, Cascara Sagrada, and Senna are very effective in helping the bowels to move. Psyllium will act as a scraper, much like sandpaper against wood, to remove and detoxify the lower intestine. Cascara Sagrada and Senna will help to keep the bowels moving sufficiently. Also drinking plenty of water will help the bowels to move more frequently.

What Will I Experience During Oral Chelation?

The purpose of any cleansing program is to detoxify the body. With Oral Chelation the same is true. During chelation of any type one can expect to experience a range detoxification effects (healing crisis).

Some of these are:

1. Headache

2. Occasional diarrhea

3. Achy joints

4. Flu like symptoms

5. Muscle aches (temporarily)

6. Fatigue

7. Emotional release

8. Tingling of the skin

Since everyone is different you my experience a few of these symptoms or you may experience all of them. For example, someone with Coronary Artery Disease may experience all these symptoms while someone with mild muscle aches may only experience one or two symptoms. If you experience a lot of these symptoms then you may indeed be very toxic. If you only experience a few of these symptoms then you are probably not as toxic as the person with Coronary Artery Disease. These detoxification effects usually last one to two weeks and can continue on and off during the entire program. For most people the first two weeks are the roughest. Here are some helpful hints to reduce the effects of detoxification for any cleansing program including Oral Chelation.

1. Keep the bowels moving using Cascara Sagrada, Senna and Psyllium.

2. Drinking 4 ounces of water every 30 minutes.

3. Eating foods low in fats, and avoiding processed carbohydrates and refined sugar.

4. Keeping the body’s pH in an alkaline state.

How Long Should I Take Oral Chelate?

For most people six months is all it takes. Many individuals report improvements within the first 6 weeks. For those who have severe cardio blockages or heavy metal poisoning one year is recommended. Oral chelation is not as fast as the I.V. chelation treatments received at a local medical doctors office. It is cheaper and less time consuming in the long run since most insurance companies do not pay for I.V. chelation. In most cases I.V. treatments take 3 hours and are performed once a week.. With oral chelation, taking 3 to 6 capsules daily will keep EDTA in the bloodstream 24 hours a day for the extent of the program.

Why Spirit of Healing Oral Chelate?

Spirit of Healing has manufactured a potent and powerful chelation formula. Dr. William G. Drew developed this formula. Dr. Drew created this formula after extensive research to determine the best approach to oral forms of chelation. Dr. Drew’s philosophy on creating this formula was to make it effective by balancing the formulas ingredients, and using those ingredients that work in conjunction with EDTA. Dr. Drew was also concerned with keeping the formula reasonably priced so everyone could afford to receive the benefits of EDTA Chelation Therapy. Spirit of Healing Oral Chelate is made using quality ingredients. Spirit of Healing has made sure no fillers are used in the manufacturing of Oral Chelate. Spirit of Healing also offers an Oral Chelation Kit. This kit is designed to provide you with all the minerals, vitamins and amino acids needed during chelation along with an instructional chart.
