Toxicology: Heavy Metal Intoxication and Chelators

Lecture on Heavy Metal Intoxication and Chelators. Uploaded for academic purposes for my students of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Santo Tomas.

Excellent introduction. Includes many things that I didn't know. However, I am disappointed at the slim treatment of the oral chelation. These days there are much better absorbed chelations, such as EDTA suppositories, EDTA and Alpha-Lipoic acid cremes through the skin, and now the new better absorbed sodium stabilized, R-Lipoic Acid.

David thank you for your information.i hava the highest level of lead levels.I do not know origins.Can you help me

[@Kevin_Yale_1996]

Thanks alot doc👍

I know someone with blotches on their forearms which are consistent with, but not quite as much as, the blotches on the arms of Indians which have received too much arsenic in their well water. I would like more photos to help identify this.

My 8 year old autistic son has had lead poisoning for the last 6-7 years but the recent results are very high needing chelation. However, I am.not convinced that DMSA without supplementation at 800 mg daily input will benefit... I think it will harm.him.more Has snyone had experience with lead chelation Thanks for your answers

EDTA baths while replacing with good electrolytes

[@jerrelboyd2441]

It worked for me. 100mg every 3 hours. 3 days on and 11 days off, repeat.

​@@wendya9973Are EDTA drops in your mouth efficient?

[@annesummers09]

Would this work for copper overload?

[@karlmovesforward11]

There are chelators specific for copper. Best to seek medical consult first before taking any.

[@greggladys7128]

​@@karlmovesforward11 how about manganese?

[@kostaborojevic498]

For high copper take zinc

Cool bro! Nice material bro!

Hello which chelation product do you reccomend. My 4 week holidays are coming up and I'd like to spend that time removing heavy metals for a fresh start to 2021.

[@karlmovesforward11]

Hello Joe! The available chelators are for patients suffering from intoxication. For normal healthy patients, we recommend preventive measures like avoiding exposures. If ever you decide to try any of the chelation therapies, it is still best to consult your doctor first.

@@karlmovesforward11 @Doc Karl I've eaten tonnes of tin fish, warn sunscreen, eaten many cheap and nasty packaged food. Took many pharmaceuticals. And I work in an industry where I'm sourounded by heavy metals. A part from that I think most people who haven't got their diet right and stress levels right would be finding it very difficult to rid these toxins on their own. But thank you for your recommendation. I appreciate your hard work.

Do mercury chelators work for aluminum too? Same chelators?

[@kostaborojevic498]

No allumunium get out on its own when the mercury is out...

[@ayy2193]

Malic acid increases aluminium excretion , some supplements are "malate". Selenium for arsenic
