Liposomal DOTA chelation to support the body in dealing with metal toxicity

At the bottom of the periodic table we find the ultra heavy metals (F block elements) like Gadolinium, Uranium and Plutonium. If you’ve ever had an MRI with contrast agents, that’s Gadolinium. 6 out of the 7 contrast agents use linear (weak) chelators not a macrocyclic (strong) chelator to bind to the Gadolinium. As a result, they can release Gadolinium into the tissues and can cause problems for years. Ultra heavy metals like Gadolinium need a special chelator that is large enough to wrap around them without re-depositing them somewhere else. One such chelator may be Tetraazacyclododdecane Tetraacetic acid (DOTA). That’s a fancy way of saying it’s EDTA but stretched out to be big enough to grab onto these ultra heavy metals. Captimet contains DOTA.
Mercury is a soft metal that requires a soft bond. DOTA has 4 hard and 4 soft bonds. DOTA makes a very stable bond to mercury. DOTA is 9 orders of magnitude more stable with mercury than DMSA, a common mercury chelator, is. That’s 1,000,000,000x more stable. DOTA is now my preferred mercury chelator.
You want a hard chelator (OH and N bonding sites) for hard metals (silver, aluminum, gadolinium, iron, titanium…) and a soft chelator (SH, CH3 bonding sites) for soft metals (mercury, lead, silver, copper…). DOTA has 4 hard and 4 soft bonding sites making it stable with both hard and soft metals.
Metal chelation takes place in 2 phases. The first it the water soluble phase which uses a water soluble chelator like DOTA to access the water soluble compartments of the body (blood, lymph, connective tissue). The 2nd phase is the fat soluble phase which uses a fat soluble chelator like MiaDMSA (see our Dasimet product) to access the fat soluble compartments of the body (intercellular, fatty tissue, nerves and brain). When you finish the water soluble phase, consider starting the fat soluble phase.
Ingredients: Tetraazacyclododecane tetraacetic acid, sunflower lecithin, MCT, phosphatidyl choline, ethanol, glycerine, plant cellulose, candellia wax and purified water.
Protocol: Begin with 1 capsule per day on an empty stomach. If tolerated, next day 2 capsules per day. If tolerated, next day 3 capsules. Continue for 1-3 months. This completes the water soluble phase of metal detoxification. The next phase is to work on the fat soluble phase (intercellular and the brain). For the fat soluble phase, consider our Dasimet product.

Toxic metals cause lipids to hydrogenate (turn into Crisco), cholesterol to crystalize (arterial plaque) and proteins to misfold (Prions and neurologic issues). Cyclodextrins may support the body in detoxifying toxic lipids and misfolded proteins.
Soluble toxic metals are still toxic. It’s important that our body is moving toxins out effectively when mobilizing toxic metals. Consider glytamins.
Toxic metals aren’t the only kinds of toxins we are exposed to. There are also toxic chemicals. It you want to clear toxic metals from your body, you may wish to consider Xeneplex.
