Medicardium: Heavy Metal and Calcification Detox

Each silver filling releases up to 17 mcg of mercury every day. This increases to 500 mcg with the smoking of cigarettes, drinking of hot liquids, gum chewing, acidic saliva or the grinding of teeth at night. Mercury accumulates in the brain, heart, kidneys and endocrine glands and can cause depression, auto-immune diseases, memory loss, tremors, anemia and heart attacks. An issue with mercury chelators (DMPS, DMSA and EDTA) is that they can release chelated mercury in exchange for other metals such as Cr2+ or Fe3+ for which they have a stronger affinity, leading to redeposition. While EDTA is the least problematic of the three, this is still a consideration . For this reason Medicardium also contains the trace mineral selenium which makes a non-reversible chemical bond to mercury rendering it permanently unavailable to the body and ready for detoxification.

Aluminum can be found in drinking water, anti-perspirants, baking powders, feminine hygiene products, cow and soy milk, baby formula, antacids, and of course aluminum foil, pots and pans. It accumulates in the skin, bones, brain and kidneys and can cause Alzheimer’s and Parkinsons disease. EDTA has been scientifically proven to bind to and remove aluminum from the body.

Lead is found in cosmetics, plastics, batteries, gasoline, insecticides, pottery glaze, soldered pipes, and paint. Lead accumulates in the brain, liver, kidneys and bones. For each 30 mcg of lead in a child’s blood, his or her IQ drops 10 points. EDTA has been scientifically proven to bind to and remove lead from the body.

Nickel is found in stainless steel cutlery, pots and pans, coins, dental fillings and batteries. It accumulates in the bones, kidneys, liver, lungs, immune system and the brain where it can cause genetic damage and cancer. EDTA has been scientifically proven to bind to and remove nickel from the body. Data regarding heavy metals taken from: Toxicology of Metals. Edited by Louis Chang, 1996.

Arsenic is found in cigarette smoke, laundry detergents, beer, seafood and drinking water. It can cause headaches, confusion and sleepiness. It can damage the kidneys liver, and lungs. EDTA has been scientifically proven to bind to and remove arsenic from the body. Data regarding heavy metals taken from: Toxicology of Metals. Edited by Louis Chang, 1996.

Uranium is a radioactive element that eventually disintegrates into lead. There have been over 2,000 nuclear detonations on our planet since Hiroshima casting uranium into our atmosphere, not counting events like Three Mile Island and Chernobyl. Radioactive materials can cause cancer and birth defects. EDTA has been scientifically proven to bind to and remove uranium from the body.

170 million women worldwide have copper IUD’s. They work by releasing copper into the uterus but the copper doesn’t stay in the uterus, it goes everywhere. The effects of copper poisoning include fatigue, low blood pressure, anemia, panic attacks, brain fog, insomnia, headaches and a sense of slowly going mad. These symptoms show up slowly so many women never realize how copper is affecting them. People can also get copper toxicity from copper pipes, copper fungicides and copper cookware. EDTA can bind to and remove copper.

As we age we accumulate calcium in the soft tissues of the body. Joints, brain, prostate, breast, kidneys, skin, arteries, muscles, all calcify and disease processes and inflammation accelerate this process. A calcium free EDTA may support the body in resolving this ‘dystrophic’ calcium.
