The one major point that is always forgotten is that medical science is not an exact science. This is and will always be an ever changing science. Something new is on the horizon and as of yet unforeseen. New discoveries, ideas and thoughts are revealed on a daily basis.

The Institute of Medicine (IOM) is currently conducting a 32 million dollar study to determine the effectiveness of chealation therapy. The question is just how does this help past heart attack sufferers to avoid a relapse? How does heavy metal removal avoid future attacks or damage? Some scientist and doctors have achieved this goal and so the IOM wants to replicate the results.

Chealation therapy is the removal of heavy metals and toxins from the patient’s body. These include mercury, lead and aluminum as well as others. This will study the plausibility of the intravenous (IV) chealation method. Some doctors and scientist have found that the less intrusive footpads using natural additives may be more beneficial. This lowers stress and slows stirring of these toxins and therefore reaction. Dr. Michael Sichel of Australia may have the answer. He admits that this method may take longer but without as many adverse reactions involved.

Many of those that suffer from Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS) have been advised to remove any dental amalgams that contain mercury. They are also instructed how to identify and avoid other toxins. Eliminating heavy metals and toxins has proven to be beneficial and achieved positive results.

Cancer patients that await chemotherapy or radiation treatments are advised to build up their immune systems before hand. This is to ensure that their system or body can handle the onslaught of these toxic substances. Vitamins, change of eating habits and lifestyle are the most common ways to achieve this. Also proves that our immune system when healthy is able to deny toxic adversity.


Leaded gasoline, paints and plumbing have all been banned. The government has recognized that lead can and will cause neurological problems. Lead, mercury, aluminum, cooper and cadmium as well as others all have similar effects upon the human system. These are mostly neurological and central nervous system disruptions. Verbal, social and motor skill failures are noted. However some immunity issues are also involved.

The honeybees that are required to pollinate many of the crops we need have begun to disappear. The question remains that it may be a mite or the fact that our crops are so heavily juiced or modified with pesticide resistance that we in fact are killing this natural ally. The estimate is that 1/3 of all honeybees have been eliminated within the past five years.

Atrazine is/was the most widely used corn insecticide in the United States. Many European countries had banned its use well before now. The U.S. response has been to put stricter regulation upon this proven neurodevelopment causing toxin. This chemical has proven to find its way into land water and surface water sources. Atrazine also has the ability to travel up to 600 miles by air. This has been a truly concerning toxin.

The specially treated wood products that are designed to resist fungus and insect damage also have been found to be toxic to humans. Those beautiful decks and the fashionable log homes are of major concern. Unfortunately the park related swings and obstacles that our children enjoy also are on this list.

This list can go on and on as the amount of neurological, immune and central nervous system toxins are growing by the hour. How can we wonder why we are seeing so many chronic illnesses? I really must ask, what is it that you don’t understand?

DDT, asbestos, Agent Orange, phosphates etc. were all once considered safe. It took time to realize the effects. It took more time for these effects to be admitted. The ever changing science that we create has to be acknowledged. There is no junk science and no perfect science.

Exclude the financial losses or gains and just may be you can find science and all of its mysteries again. We have an obligation to provide our children with the hope of a good future. At the rate we are going we are offering no hope and therefore no future. Honesty, fairness and acceptance are the only answers. Medical science must move on despite our self imposed restrictions. As human nature is bound to do we must explore all possibilities not by numbers but by facts.
