Oral Chelation Therapy

What about oral chelation?

     Oral chelation is only 5% absorbed since it is destroyed by stomach acid.  Since there is no acid in the colon, the EDTA in the colon is not destroyed when given as a suppository.  Also, Di-Sodium EDTA which is the active ingredient in most oral chelators is known to cause hemorrhages (internal bleeding). 

Does it sting?

     Like table salt, Magnesium Di-Potassium EDTA does not sting normal tissue, but it will sting an open cut.  If you find that the suppository stings, then you may have hemorrhoids, an anal fissure, or dry stools that cause slight abrasions to your rectum when you go to the bathroom.  If the suppository stings, it is a sign that you need to work on the health of your colon.  

If it stings, what can I do?

     Next time you take the suppository, roll it in some olive oil, this will help.  If it still stings, you probably have a hemorrhoid.  Try pushing the suppository past the hemorrhoid.

What if I feel like I have to go to the bathroom after inserting it?

     If you fell the need to go to the bathroom, one of two things is happening.  

1.  You mistimed the suppository, and didn't use it soon enough after going to the bathroom.  If the sensation is only mild, 80% of the suppository will be absorbed in 5 minutes, you may want to wait five minutes if possible.  Staying seated will make this easier than walking around.

     If the sensation is strong, DO NOT try to hold the suppository in, you could get cramps and nausea from trying to stop the natural peristaltic action of your intestines.  Go to the bathroom, and remember for the next time to use it AFTER you have ALREADY gone to the bathroom.

2.   For some people, the presence of any suppository will cause an urge to defecate, even if there is no stool in the colon.  This is a normal response and the intensity of the urge varies from person to person.  Most people will not have this urge.  If you do, there is a simple solution. Simply sit down or lie down immediately after inserting the suppository for 30 minutes.  This will minimize and feelings of having to go to the bathroom.  Walking about causes the suppository to move about and stimulates the nerves that cause the urge to defecate.  Remaining still keeps these nerves from being activated.  After 30 minutes, the suppository will have been absorbed, and you can go to the bathroom if you feel the need.  Do not try to overcome a strong urge to defecate, this can cause cramps.  

I feel nauseous, why?

     Nausea can either be the liver de-toxing or the urge to defecate agian.

When should I use it?

    Since magnesium and potassium are relaxing, you would probably want to use it later in the day when you want to wind down.  People with trouble sleeping may want to take it before retiring.  The only disadvantage to this is that you cannot drink water while you are sleeping and it is a good idea to drink several glasses of water for the first 4 hours after taking the suppository.  This helps dilute any toxic metals that may come out of you and puts less stress on the kidneys. 

I feel too relaxed after using it, is there a drug in this?

     There are no drugs in the suppository, only what is listed on the ingredients.  What you are feeling is your natural birthright of calmness and peace of mind that highly absorbable magnesium and potassium can deliver.

I feel very tired after using this, why?

     Magnesium and potassium turn off the emergency energy system (sympathetic system).  You are now left with your natural energy reserve, which must be low if you are now experiencing fatigue. You have been confusing  adrenaline energy for true strength.  

     With the adrenaline turned off, you now can see how tired your body truly is.  You've been working too hard.   As an example, imagine a jockey who has been whips (adrenaline) his horse (body) when it slowed down from fatigue.  Of course whipping a tired horse will get it to perform in the short run, but in the long run it can damage it.  If you take away the whip away from the jockey the horse will slow down to its true speed.  The jockey then realizes what he has done (and if he is nice) and can let the horse recover his strength with good food and rest.

What else should I do?

1)   Drink plenty of water.    

2)   EDTA removes certain minerals that you will want to replace.  A good liquid or capsule multi-mineral is suggested.  We will have such a product shortly.

3)   Take extra vitamin B-6, since EDTA can cause you to run low on this vitamin.

Is it safe?

     EDTA has been used for the last 50 years in the medical field.  No side effects have ever been reported.   EDTA is generally recognized as safe by the FDA and has a lower toxicity than aspirin.

What is its shelf life?

     EDTA is an antioxidant and a preservative, We believe the shelf live to be decades.

How do I take it?

What should I notice?

     If you are magnesium deficient, you may feel a wave of relaxation come over you in 5 to 10 minutes.  The long term effects may include more stamina, better mood, better memory, younger appearance and resolution of chronic medical conditions. 

How long should I take it for?

     Many people take every third day for their entire lives.

How much Magnesium Di-Potassium is in each suppository?

     365 milligrams.

What are the contraindications?

     Like regular chelation the contraindications include kidney disease, nursing or pregnancy, tuberculosis, blood thinners, blood pressure medications, and low platelet counts.    EDTA can also lowers blood sugar.  Asthma may also be contraindicated since magnesium and potassium can increase the parasympathetic system (relaxation system) which may be high in asthmatics.

I've heard it helps with menstrual cramps, is this true?

     Many of our clients tell us that a suppository will make menstrual cramps reduce or disappear within 5 minutes.

I've heard it helps with headaches, is this true?

   This has been reported to us by our clients.

It melted, what do I do?

     The product will melt above 80 degrees Fahrenheit.  If the seal did not break (if there is no yellow substance outside the wrapper) then squeeze the bottom of the suppository to reshape it, and put in the refrigerator to harden.  If it the product did come out of the wrapper, or if you simple want the product replaced simply mail us back the suppositories and we will send you new ones.  In the summer months, we will send the product with freezer packs to keep cold during shipping.  If it has melted and does not reform properly or breaks upon opening, we will replace it.

How does Medicardium suppository chelation compare with other suppository chelation products?

     There is an EDTA suppository that uses calcium and sodium rather than magnesium and potassium.  Magnesium and potassium are preferable to calcium and sodium for the following reasons.

1) Sodium inhibits the parasympathetic nervous system, the system is responsible for calming us down from flight and fight responses and making us go in to relaxation and healing mode.  Sodium makes us more stressed and raises our blood pressure.

2) Potassium stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, calming us down and lowering blood pressure.

3) Calcium stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, the system responsible for fight or flight behavior, making us more stressed.

4) Magnesium inhibits the sympathetic nervous system, calming us down.

5) Part of the benefit of EDTA is the ability to remove toxic calcium from the internal organs and arteries.  EDTA cannot do this if it is already bound to calcium.

6) Calcium is not very water soluble (think chalk), adding calcium to the EDTA makes it harder to absorb through the colon wall.

7) Magnesium Di Potassium EDTA is very water soluble, passing easily though the colon wall.

 How does suppository chelation compare with IV chelation?

PRO'S     IV chelation has one advantage and four disadvantages over suppository chelation.  The advantage of IV chelation is that a larger amount of EDTA can be administered in a shorter amount of time.  If a client is in a life threatening situation, this may be necessary.  

CON'S     

1.    A higher amount of EDTA over a shorter period is more stressful on the kidneys, through which the heavy metals must pass.

2.   The ingredient used in IV chelation is Di-Sodium EDTA.  This is a very caustic substance that burns tissue.  That is why painkillers are injected into the IV bags.  The painkillers do not stop the damage from happening, they only prevent you from feeling it.  In addition, procaine, the painkiller normally used to cover up the damage.   Magnesium Di-Potassium does not contain sodium and thus does not burn the body.  No painkillers are required. 

3.   Di-Sodium EDTA raises sodium levels in the body.  For most people taking chelation, this is not beneficial.  More likely is that they are deficient in either magnesium or potassium or both making Magnesium Di-Potassium EDTA the logical choice.

4.   Suppositories can be done non-invasively at home.
