For the removal of mercury, lead, aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, nickel, tin and other toxic metals from the body Happy Bodies ® is proud to carry Detoxamin EDTA Chelation Therapy Suppositories. This product is recommended by Dr. Sherry Rogers, MD.
Detoxamin EDTA Chelation Therapy Suppositories are a patented, time release over the counter product that is an effective method of Ca-EDTA chelation therapy medically equivalent to I.V. chelation therapy. The difference is that Detoxamin introduces a smaller dosage of Calcium Disodium EDTA on a nightly basis. By applying the highly efficacious Detoxamin suppository containing EDTA, you remove toxic metal from cells all over the body. The self-administration is performed rectally before retiring so that as you sleep you are taking chelation therapy with EDTA. There's no need for intravenous infusions or quantities of nutritional supplements.
What is EDTA chelation therapy and what is it used for? Chelation (pronounced key-lay-shun) is the process by which a metal or mineral (such as lead, mercury, iron, arsenic, aluminum, etc.) is bonded to another substance-in this case an amino acid called EDTA, Ethylene-Diamine-Tetra-Acetic acid. It is a natural process, basic to life itself. During EDTA chelation therapy, the EDTA infusion bonds with unwanted metals in the body and quickly carries them away in the urine. Chelation therapy is a safe, effective alternative to drugs and surgeries and is used to treat many illnesses now known to be linked to the presence of toxic heavy metals. Illnesses such as heart disease, strokes, diabetes, circulatory disorders, neuropathies, Alzheimer's disease, atherosclerosis, and adverse reactions to many environmental pollutants. Traditional chelation therapy uses an intravenous drip, and is administered in the outpatient setting. The number of treatments varies based on each person's individual condition and/or goals of treatment. The average therapy is given one to three times a week for twenty to thirty treatments.

Note: Calcium is a metal. In the "The Chelation Answer" Dr Morton Walker says: "Since calcium is the second most prevalent mineral or metal floating in the bloodstream, this chelating material has a profound effect on calcium metabolism.
Q: How long has EDTA chelation therapy been in use? Why don't more people use it?
EDTA chelation therapy for the detoxification for heavy metals has been in continuous use since the 1940s when it was introduced specifically for the treatment of lead poisoning. It was very quickly observed that as the metals were eliminated, not only did the signs and symptoms of lead poisoning abate, but problems related to the circulatory system like heart attacks, angina, strokes, and peripheral vascular disease also improved. For the past 50 years, well over one million people have received the intravenous form of EDTA chelation. As beneficial and life saving as this therapy has become, it is very expensive and very time-consuming, making it out of reach for most people.
Q: What is Detoxamin?
A: An EDTA Chelation Therapy program that is medically equivalent to the IV method of EDTA chelation. Detoxamin utilizes an EDTA suppository that was developed by Dr. Bruce Halstead MD.
Question: Is Detoxamin affordable?
Answer: YES! Detoxamin is 70% less than the IV EDTA chelation method. (Our site relfe.com offers Detoxamin for $259 for 10 treatments. The recommended retail price is $289).
Q: What makes Detoxamin EDTA suppositories equal to IV chelation?
A:
1) Detoxamin EDTA Suppositories are taken at night, right before you retire for the evening. This allows LESS metabolic competition for the EDTA because the body is at rest while the EDTA is working.
2) Detoxamin introduces LESS dosage of EDTA, but it is done more frequently. This is just like taking vitamins, you take less more often. This fact provides better EDTA assimilation.
3) Almost all the blood from the rectum makes its way to the superior hemorrhoidal veins, a tributary of the portal system. The lower and middle hemorrhoidal veins BYPASS the liver and do not undergo first pass metabolism, therefore the EDTA in Detoxamin is not being filtered through the liver first, making the EDTA more productive in Detoxamin.
4) Detoxamin introduces EDTA directly into the systemic circulation and lymphatic system.
5) Detoxamin is also far safer than IV chelation because the EDTA in Detoxamin travels through the body MUCH SLOWER, not putting the same burden on the liver and kidney. Plus the dosage of 750 mg Calcium EDTA is very safe.
6) Each 3 Detoxamin suppositories are medically equal to 1 IV treatment.
Q: How do I Take Detoxamin? What is the Suggested Use?
A: Detoxamin is a complete regimen. It is recommended to take Detoxamin for each day for 90 days or every other day for 180 days (depending on the severity of symptoms) and then continue on to a monthly maintenance program. See below for detailed instructions.
1) For individuals with more severe symptoms we recommend using 3 boxes of Detoxamin (each box contains 30 suppositories) over a 90-day period-each night. This dosage is equal to approximately 30 IV EDTA sessions. Take one suppository every night for 3 months. It is understood that some people may need to continue a little longer than the 3 months, depending upon their health condition. Consult your physician for details. We recommend that you take all other required vitamin/mineral supplementation on a daily basis and separate the processes by as much time as possible-if you use Detoxamin when you retire for bed, take your supplementation in the morning or early afternoon so that you will receive maximum benefits from both therapies and they are not in competition with each other.
2) For individuals with less severe symptoms we recommend using 3 boxes of Detoxamin (each box contains 30 suppositories) over a 180-day period-every other night. This dosage is equal to approximately 30 IV EDTA sessions. If you are looking for preventative measures, or just want a good, thorough detoxification-using one Detoxamin suppository every other night will give you excellent chelation results at a slightly lower rate. Even though you may take the suppository every other day we recommend that you take your supplementation every day.
Detoxamin Lifetime Maintenance
Detoxamin is a product for life. Your bones remain toxic for life-this is a fact. We highly recommend that you continue the therapy, as you will get exposed to harmful toxins continually. Unfortunately your bones are toxic for life and the toxins do get re-introduced into the bloodstream over time.
Plus, our bone lead levels are 1000 times higher than those prior to the Industrial Age. Therefore, once you complete the first part of the therapy it is recommended to maintain your health with our monthly maintenance package.
Our recommendation is to use 3-6 suppositories every month-you will receive the equivalent of approximately 2 IV EDTA chelation treatments. Using the suppositories on consecutive nights will give you consistent chelation. We are continually ingesting toxins and heavy metals on a continuing basis and Detoxamin is extremely safe, we feel that the maintenance protocol could be carried out over your lifetime.
Q: Does Detoxamin Chelate Mercury?
A: Yes!
Q: Why Does Detoxamin with EDTA work so well?
A: Your body today averages 1000 times more lead in your bones than was present before the Industrial Age, while it gets less of the essential minerals such as zinc in our excessively refined foods. It has become clear to many health professionals today that maintaining optimal health requires routine chelating and detoxifying agents such as cilantro and EDTA that will continuously pull the toxins like lead, mercury, and even pesticides, etc., out of the body. This way, we are not putting the essential nutrients like vitamin E, etc., into a polluted cesspool and expecting to get the full benefits of these miraculous nutrients.
Q: If Detoxamin with EDTA is so good at removing heavy metals, does it also deplete the body of essential minerals and other important substances?
A: No, amazingly it doesn't. In some instances, Detoxamin actually enhances the uptake of various trace minerals, while lowering the total body burden of lead.
The World Health Organization and advisors to the National Academy of Science recommend that EDTA be added to the diet of children in poor countries to enhance mineral absorption, particularly of iron and zinc. EDTA is never broken down in your body. It goes in and comes out as EDTA. So it's hard for it to do a lot of mischief since the only thing it's known to do is to have this compelling influence like an extremely good-looking, eligible young bachelor. All the attractive young ladies might sometime during the evening stop by to say hello. It's the same way with EDTA; every one of the metals (in the periodic chart) would say hello.
But EDTA has a very strong list of preferences, which are called stability constants. It will be very inconstant with calcium, to which it says hello; you're there, goodbye. It says hello to magnesium; you're there, goodbye. It goes up to zinc and says hey, you're pretty interesting. Then it goes up to lead and says, I think you're really interesting, we could spend the evening together. And when it gets up to mercury, it says can we spend the rest of our life together. So that's kind of how it goes.
On the other hand, we know that EDTA is a nonspecific chelator, and if there is not an ample supply of minerals with a higher stability constant, then EDTA could potentially remove essential minerals. It would ultimately depend on the amount of heavy metals in the system, the pH of the system, etc. If there is not much lead or mercury in the system for instance, then EDTA could remove zinc, which is rapidly excreted in the urine.
Q: Do you suggest taking vitamin and mineral supplements when taking Detoxamin?
A: Yes, definitely! It is strongly recommended that you take a good, natural multi-vitamin / mineral while you are chelating with Detoxamin. The EDTA in Detoxamin will bind with some essential minerals as well as with the toxic ones so you need to make sure that you are supplementing well.
We also recommend taking your supplementation 8 hours before or after using Detoxamin so the EDTA will not remove minerals you are trying to replace.
In additon, we live on devitalized food from mineral deficient soils that are packaged in boxes, picked green and stored in refrigerated compartments. Research has shown that, due to a steady decline in the nutritional quality of our food, even an adequate diet might not enable us to maintain the vitamin and mineral balance required to avoid health problems. It's vital that we enhance our diets with a wide spectrum of supplemental vitamins and minerals that can make up for nutritional deficiencies. Supplements that are plant based are far superior to artificial ones.
Q: How does Detoxamin compare to intravenous chelation therapy?
A: Detoxamin is patented method of EDTA chelation and medically equivalent to the intravenous method.
Detoxamin is an unique formulation of EDTA that is manufactured into suppository form.
Each box of Detoxamin (15 suppositories) is equal to 5 IV treatments.
Detoxamin allows absorption of EDTA through the colon wall, the EDTA absorption rate in Detoxamin is 90 to 95%.
There is no question that IV EDTA is useful, but we all live a busy life and we can't go to the doctor and have an IV every day. It's too inconvenient to see your doctor for three hours in his office, drive an hour to get to his office, day after day, lose a day of income and pay him $125 or whatever it costs, which is a significant amount of money.
Detoxamin is an effective, convenient and affordable way of EDTA chelation and will finally help people with the excessive body burden of heavy metals, that we are all excessively burdened with today.
Take our mercury levels, for example. In a report published in Linear Practice of Alternative Medicine (Fall, 2001, issue 2: 181-187), Poul Molher, MSc. calculated that it's typical to have approximately 40 million atoms of mercury per every cell of the body after getting amalgam fillings for several years.
When you know the facts on total toxic metals that we all carry around in us today, you realize that, whatever hope we have of really making a dent with 30 or 40 IV treatments or even 100 chelation's over a lifetime, it is still simply a case of too little help being given too late.
Detoxamin was created to replace the IV method of chelation to allow you to continue chelation to receive the ultimate benefits without the hassles and expense, because it is virtually impossible and too expensive for most people to keep going to the doctor's office for IV chelation.
Q: What about Oral EDTA?
A: Oral EDTA tablets are so poorly absorbed that it can never be equal to the IV method or to Detoxamin.
The stomach acids virtually destroy most of the oral EDTA whereby very little of the EDTA is actually absorbed into the bloodstream-only about 5%. This is why the promoters of oral EDTA require that you undergo IV EDTA chelation periodically so that the benefits are realized. Oral EDTA is so poorly absorbed that you must take about 30 oral EDTA (500 mg) tablets to equal just one Detoxamin Suppository.
It is clear to many in the health field today that we should all consider EDTA chelation therapy, Detoxamin was created so you can accomplish this without the inconvenience and hassles that makes IV chelation unreachable for most people.
Q: What is nitric oxide and how does it connect to EDTA chelation therapy?
A: EDTA has been shown to optimize nitric oxide production. This fact alone makes chelation therapy a benefit for virtually everyone. Nitric oxide (NO) protects the heart, stimulates the brain, kills bacteria, helps prevent blood clots that are the cause of most heart attacks and strokes, enhances oxygen delivery to tissues, and helps regulate blood pressure and blood flow to different organs. It is present in most living creatures and made by many different types of cells. It was a sensation when it was discovered that this simple, common air pollutant,-which is formed when nitrogen burns, for instance in automobile exhaust fumes-could exert so many important and life saving functions in our body.
Q: If nitric oxide is so important to cardiovascular health, why not take a daily dose of nitric oxide instead of EDTA?
A: The problem is that nitric oxide is so powerful that when we give it as a drug, there's a chance that, just like when we used to give you nitroglycerin to put under your tongue to dilate your arteries and stop your heart pain, you might get an explosive headache. So it's not innocuous to give you substances to get a nitroglycerin or nitric oxide-like effect. It turns out that it's wonderful if I can figure out a way to optimize your body's ability to make just its own ideal dose of nitric oxide, (which we believe Detoxamin helps you do, by detoxifying the cells that make NO). Because your body is not a fool and will not make too much, so there is no worry about over dosing you with EDTA induced NO.
Q: What about children?
A: Detoxamin also offers a children's suppository. The children's suppository has 375 g in it. The adult has 750 g.
Q: What about pregnant or breastfeeding women?
A: Safe use of Ca-EDTA has not been established with respect to these.
