The
Townsend
Letters for
Doctors published
an elaborate article by Dr. Mark A. Brudnak in which he states
that “exposure of the human body to toxins often begins before
birth (in the mother’s womb) and such exposure has been linked
to a wide range of congenital maladies.” One of the worst
culprits in this toxic load is mercury.
It has been suggested that environmentally
acquired mercury,
obtained either through contaminated foods, dental fillings,
or vaccination, plays a major role in autism
and a whole spectrum of attention deficit disorders. Subtle,
persistent mercury release into mother’s blood ,reaches and
damages the placental barrier and affects the fetus.
Dr
Brudnak provides evidence that large amounts of Probiotics
(good bacteria) eliminate most toxins, but especially mercury.
Throughout his article, Dr. Brudnak explains how Probiotics
promote detoxification.
“The detoxification of organic mercury by
bacteria takes advantage of their ability to incorporate and
convert toxic mercury into nontoxic forms.” Organic mercury is
highly neurotoxic and the removal from the gut reduces its
ability to be reabsorbed and reach the brain.
Probiotic
are already known for many other important functions such as
their ability to repair the intestinal mucosal, stunt the growth
of yeast and other pathogens and the ability to incorporate
bacteria’s toxins. We now know they also play a major role in
mercury detoxification. The probiotics incorporate the organic
mercury (methyl mercury) and
transform it in a water soluble less toxic form. This load can
however be released into the lumen of the intestine and go back
to the organic toxic form if the bacteria with their toxic load
are not “scrubbed “out of the bowel through the feces.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), 90% of
mercury is excreted from the bile into the feces.
If
not removed all together, the released mercury then goes back
into circulation. Mercury has high affinity for lipids (fats).
The brain is one of organs that is composed largely of lipids (Phospholipids)
and therefore one of the major target of this very toxic metal.
It is therefore imperative to have daily and even more than once
a day bowel movements.
If
the probiotics and their embarrassing cargo remain inside of the
intestines, there is more possibility that the body will absorb
not only mercury but other toxic substances as well. To make
matter more difficult, mercury damages the intestine’s
screening-defensive barriers, increasing its entry into
circulation
During
intravenous Chelation therapy with DMPS which
dislodges large amounts of mercury from its reserves and dumps
it into the intestine and to the urine, the bowel scrubbing and
the bowel healing program (with large amounts of Probiotic) to
expedite its excretion through the feces are an essential aspect
of the treatment.
As
always lets go back to nature as a healing model. Nature, in its
immense wisdom, puts large quantities of probiotics
(lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidum) right in mother’s
milk. This is one reason I recommend expecting mothers to
supplement with high quality probiotics to enrich the quality of
their milk and protect themselves and their babies.
Children
not breastfed are at higher risk for all sorts of maladies and
for mercury toxicity. One of the many beneficial attribute of
mother’s milk is its capacity to deliver “High dose
probiotics"
Good
medicine begins in utero and continues for the rest of our
lives.
