Medical Anthropologist & Physiatrist, Graham Hutt, PhD. shares an exciting new medical breakthrough... “it is said that we cannot avoid two things in life: death & taxes. Unfortunately ill health is becoming an increasingly likely third.” Few of us will avoid suffering ill health at some stage in life. For many people, this will be chronic disease – an illness that drags on for months or years. This could just be running under par, but for others it will be more serious, possibly even cancer. Despite trillions of dollars having been spent on research since the 1950’s, the prevalence of chronic diseases and premature mortality are rising, even though life expectancy in general has increased due to medical technology. For an increasing number of people, chronic disability begins in childhood. Learning difficulties such as autism, hyperactivity and attention deficit disorder (ADD) are at the highest level recorded. Most schools now have special classes, or send disruptive children to special schools , often along with those suffering from a range of other disorders. Why is it that what was once considered a minor problem in the population, is now so common? Many reasons are postulated, but research is increasingly looking at the role of modern chemicals in everyday use along with one word: TOXICITY
 
 
 
Until the 1950’s, most chemical products originated from coal-tar derived products. Many of these were toxic and caused chronic diseases, including cancers, to those exposed. However, with the development of the petrochemical industry in the 1950’s, the number of chemicals produced increased dramatically to a point where tens of thousands are now in everyday use by most of us -- as close as in our kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, the cars we drive, etc. Almost all fabric products... from carpets to towels and bed linens are treated with preservatives, many of which are carcinogenic. Chemicals and heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and antimony, can be found even closer -- in the amalgam fillings in our mouth, in the fish that we eat, the cosmetics and creams that we use, the vaccinations that are given to our children, as well as contained in many other foods of choice. We live in an environment of 100,000 toxins, with an additional 1,000 added every year! Anyone who believes that we can escape this toxicity is truly deluding themselves, according to this research. Toxins that have been increasingly linked to many serious disorders, especially the mental health of children and the aged, are: HEAVY or TOXIC METALS. These are metals that are not beneficial to health, unlike other metals which are necessary. Once ingested into our bodies, heavy metals cannot normally be excreted. They simply build up over the years causing many different health problems. They include amongst others; mercury, lead, aluminium, arsenic and depleted uranium. This latter metal has been increasingly suspected as the agent responsible for “Gulf War Syndrome”, a condition experienced by a very high percentage of veterans fighting in that region of the world, where depleted uranium was used to build missiles with increased effectiveness.

Not everyone experiences the same effects from heavy metals in their bodies, however there are many people who live with chronic illnesses that often remain undiagnosed for years, myself amongst them! Most people are able to feel the difference, once such heavy metal toxins are cleared from their bodies. How do our bodies become TOXIC? PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS: Allergies, anaemia, asthma, candidiasis, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, compromised immune system, electrocardiac disorders, gastrointestinal problems, hypertension and other heart conditions. Menstrual and reproductive problems, parasites, rashes and skin ailments, respiratory problems, sleep disorders, vertigo and virus/bacteria/mycoplasma. PSYCHOLOGICAL SYMPTOMS: Anxiety, attention deficit disorder, brain fog, depression, failing memory, hyperactivity, irritability, mental disorders and incapacities. Neurological disorders (dizziness, migraines, headaches, visual disorders, numbness and tingling). While walking through the streets of Spain recently, I was handed a leaflet published by the World Wildlife Foundation. It was entitled: “Toxicity: what a bad age we live in.” It told of polar bears and other wildlife in the Arctic suffering the effects of man-made pollution. I later looked up their web site and found the following quote:
 
“Between 1930 and 2000 global production of man-made chemicals increased from 1 million to 400 million tonnes each year. While no-one would deny that some chemicals bring significant benefits to society - through their use in healthcare for example - unfortunately some chemicals are damaging wildlife and people, and we still don't know enough about their long-term effects. Widespread contamination: Man-made chemicals are in use all around us - from pesticides to cosmetics and baby bottles to computers - our 21st century society depends on them. During their manufacture and use, chemicals are released into the environment. They can travel vast distances by air or water and are also absorbed by wildlife and humans through the skin or ingested in food and water. Hazardous man-made chemicals have contaminated every environment, and wildlife - including birds, polar bears, frogs, alligators and panthers. Up to 300 man-made chemicals have been found in humans. Shocking lack of safety information: Currently only 14% of the chemicals used in the largest volumes have the minimum amount of data publicly available to make an initial basic safety assessment.” (http://detox.panda.org/)http://detox.panda.orgshapeimage_24_link_0
 
If pollution reaches those extremes of the earth’s surface, what chance is there for us to avoid them? A recent report published by Reuters from the Environmental Working Group showed that blood samples taken by the American Red Cross from the umbilical chords of newborn babies, showed an average of 287 contaminants in the blood, including mercury, fire retardants, pesticides and the Teflon chemical PFOA. (Fox, M., July 14 2005, ‘Unborn Babies Soaked in Chemicals, Survey Finds.’ Reuters) Probably the most common source of mercury poisoning in our bodies is from amalgam fillings and vaccinations. Research has shown a positive correlation between the level of mercury in a mother’s breast milk and the number of dental amalgams in her teeth. The average individual could absorb as much as 120 micrograms or more of mercury per day from their amalgam fillings – this is considered a very toxic dose. (World Health Organization)
 
It has been suggested that prenatal or postnatal exposure to toxic metals is probably responsible for over 50% of learning difficulties and cognitive disturbances in all U.S. children. Many studies have estimated that over 20% of the children in the U.S. have had their health or learning significantly affected adversely by toxic metals such as mercury, lead, and cadmium. (ATSDR/EPA Priority List for 1997: Top 20 Hazardous Substances, Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/cercla/ & EPA targets 17 toxics, Science News, February 16, 1991; & 9-13-86, p164) In the adult population, mercury and lead are considered serious problems to our health. The humorous phrase ‘mad as a hatter’ in Alice in Wonderland is based on truth. Mercury was used in the hatting industry, and those workers simply handling the materials literally went mad, suffering serious mental disorders. What can be done about it? Since we cannot avoid heavy metals, what can we do to remove them? Chelators are products that clear the body of heavy metals. There have been chemical chelators available for many years, but they are expensive and some have serious side effects. Recently, a product has been developed by a Cypriot researcher, Dr. George J. Georgiou, Ph.D.,DSc (AM), N.D., which principally uses the natural herb Coriander, mixed with chlorella growth factor (CGF), rich in nucleoptides along with a homeopathic homaccord of cell-decimated Chlorella to form a ‘gentle chelator.’ http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/cercla/shapeimage_34_link_0
This product is called HMD™ and is unique in several ways. It is the first natural chelator to have undergone substantial double blind, placebo-controlled trials on 350 people over a three year period, demonstrating its ability to rid the body of nearly all toxic, heavy metals. It also has virtually no known side effects and is a gentle way of removing heavy metals from the body, without spending large sums of money on chemical chelators. Its inventor and worldwide patent holder, Dr. Georgiou, highly recommends that adults take it, and that it is given to children and pets as a preventative measure to slowly help remove heavy metals from the body before they accumulate and develop irreversible chronic diseases. To optimise its effectiveness, it should be taken for a time period of between 3 and 6 months.
