Detoxification
BACKGROUND:
If one is to have successful treatment for allergies through NAET
or any process involving acupuncture
meridians, it has been our personal experience that detoxification must
precede such treatment. This includes the toxins listed below as
well as dental amalgam, cavitations, and
root canals. It is through the mouth that many of the meridians
pass and where blockage can occur.
One of the most useful and insightful concepts in our experience with
this process is Dr. Ann McCombs and Kathleen Fogarty, ND and their analysis
of the relationship between toxicity, allergies, chronic illnesses, and
acute illnesses. It has been the centerpiece of our insight into our health
problems and their alleviation. Detoxification is the critical phase of
our respective recoveries.

| According
to Jacqueline Krohn, M.D., Frances Taylor, M.A., and Jinger Prosser,
L.M.T., in their book The
Whole Way to Natural Detoxification,
Dorland's Medical Dictionary defines a 'toxin' as a poison
that is a protein or a conjugated protein substance produced by plants,
some animals, and pathogenic bacteria... Another useful definition
for a toxin is xenobiotic, which means a foreign chemical not
produced by the human body. Dr. Elson Haas of Marin, California,
defines a toxin as "any substance that creates irritating and/or
harmful effects in the body, undermining our health or stressing our
biochemical organ function." The March 1994, issue of The International DAMS Newsletter, states that a lot of toxins are stored in fatty tissue and occupy the body cumulatively. A detoxification process for amalgam removal might include the following: Chlorella, garlic, Pycnogenol, buffered vitamin C, anti-mutagens, Metachel, NH4 Redox, and Free Radical Quencher in various dosages, and combined with other processes, such as Epson Salt baths. (From the Workbook titled Neural Kinesiology I, 1994-5, American Academy of Neural Therapy). Other possible substances that could be used in such a process are Crystal Energy and Microhydrin, both based on the Microcluster(TM) discovery of the Flanagan's, one of whom was a Nobel nominee. Then again, it is possible that nothing would be needed to stimulate the process other than removal of the dental blocks (amalgam, cavitations, and root canals). The latter was our experience. The information below was taken from a paper Mechanisms of Detoxification and Procedures for Detoxification, by Jon B. Pangborn, Ph.D., for Bionostics, Inc.; P.O. Box 111; 170 West Roosevelt Road; West Chicago, IL 60185. By detoxification we mean, "the body's own chemical and transport processes that clear tissues of contaminants. The chemical processes metabolize the toxic chemical (xenobiotic) into a form that is more readily excreted. Many of these processes are enzymatic. The enzymes often require cofactors that are derived from essential nutrients." |

The table below was provided by Ann McCombs, D.O. and has proven to be quite accurate as well as useful in my case.
