Stay Healthy and Find Out Your Heavy Metal Toxic Load

In the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2003;289: 1523-1532 the results and conclusions of a study entitled Blood Lead, Blood Pressure, and Hypertension in Perimenopausal and Postmenopausal Women concludes;   “At levels well below the current US occupational exposure limit guidelines (40hg/dL), (note,the h should be upside down) blood lead level is positively associated with both systolic and diastolic blood pressure and risks of both systolic and diastolic hypertension among women aged 40-59 years.  The relationship between blood lead level and systolic and diastolic hypertension is most pronounced in postmenopausal women.  These results provide support for continued efforts to reduce lead levels in the general population, especially women.”
So there you have it, in the general medical journals you will find articles like this.  But ask yourself this:  When you are having your blood pressure checked and it is elevated has anyone ever asked you if you have had testing to determine your body load of toxic metals including lead?   Interesting isn’t it.  This finding is not new nor is it infrequent, lead causes problems and can eventually cause heart disease and problems of aging.  A bit of no brainer.  What do you suppose happens to your health when you are exposed to chemicals and toxic metals?   You get symptoms and you get sick when the levels accumulate over time.

This problem is easy to handle with a preventive program including intravenous chelation therapy.  You can lower the levels of many metals over time with a properly prescribed program including nutrients and a chelation intravenous program.  You can use chelation preventively each month to rid your body of accumulated metals.  Why intravenous treatments?  Because oral chelation is not powerful enough to make a difference and since EDTA the chelating agent is attracted to metal including lead what happens when the water you take the chelating agent with has metal in it or lead?  EDTA attaches to the metal and could be inadvertently absorbed through the intestines and go into the body!  Some of the lead you ingest goes straight through without being absorbed but the chelating agent could carry it into the body!

The reason you do not hear of this widely in medical information is because of  the jealous business of medicine, big pharma, and this; if you handle the CAUSES of high blood pressure and heart disease you will NOT NEED expensive surgery and interventions in the future, you will not need drugs.  If we are healthy we do not buy what is being SOLD to us.

Take some time and do some research and you will find a great therapy in chelation, used for years safely in doctors offices across the world with thousands of great results.  Check out icimed.com and medical-library.net or check the links on our website where you will find a link to Doctors Data, a lab that tests for heavy metals.

Stay Healthy is the Answer

But how?  First of all realize the air you breathe, the food you eat, and the things you put on your body can make you sick.  Toxins accumulate in the body and disrupt the normal functions of many systems.  Toxins often act in place of hormones.  The effect of toxins or the presence of toxins is a new view of the cause of  symptoms and neglected by most doctors and patients alike.  Finding  ways to investigate the level of toxins in the body is smart health care.
Food is health, food heals and food causes disease.  It is work to find local growers and organic farmers and suppliers near your home but it is essential.  If there is anyone in your family with health difficulties the first thing to do is clean up your diet.  Eat fresh organic, eat fresh anything and everything.  If you made a pact with yourself to eat fresh foods only and you had a weight problem you would lose weight without limiting calories.  The additives in factory foods cause obesity.  Artificial, manufactured foods need to be avoided.  Although many grocery stores offer organic products you may find better local resources in your area.  The idea is to pack as much nutrition into every bite and you will feel so much better!!

Clean water is essential. Do not count on your city water or your well.  You can have a perfectly good well one year and the next have TCE in the water due to environmental contamination.  Make sure you know your water source and you take measures to make it as clean as can be. 

Air is dicey- hard to control.  You can find good air cleaners for you home and office.  It is important. 

Then… there is so much you can find to help you stay healthy in homeopathics, nutrient supplements, and many other self-help practices.  Keep in mind your personal care products are going into your blood stream through your lungs and through your skin.  You need to know ingredients and their effects.  Luckily we have the internet and all the great companies providing organic sources of everything.  Household items, personal care products, baby clothes, hemp fashions, bamboo fashions, baby toys, foods and support groups are all easily available.  The key is to keep it simple and clean.  Avoid chemicals in personal care products and food.

Dr. Maulfair on Aging

Dreams and goals are unattainable if you are ill. Have you noticed your interest in your personal activities actually increases in your forties and fifties? All of sudden you start thinking about the things you have put off. If you are taking care of aging parents they bring home to you the message of the importance of health.
Health and energy are the foundation for a happy life and you need to pay attention to ways in which they are robbed from you before you realize it. Aging starts earlier than people recognize. You can have the beginnings of heart disease in your twenties and as it slowly progresses over the course of your life you “naturally” have less energy, feel slightly ill all the time and enjoy your life less as you are approaching the problems in life with less enthusiasm. Some of joy of life leaves because you sleep poorly, you have less energy so you do less and you find yourself thinking you are not going to make a difference anyway. The quality of your life degenerates and many people accept this as a normal part of growing old.

I disagree. Years of helping people regain their vitality gives me the certainty that many, many people can be helped and their energy can be restored and so their contribution to life around them. Active, healthy people benefit society and we all gain something when one of us is doing well in the last decades of our lives.

The contamination of the human body is ignored in the practice of mainstream, corporate medicine. In fact, the treatments involve in standard care increase the level of chemicals in the body instead of reducing them. Any drug, even helpful drugs of which there are few, give your body a new problem. Not only is it still suffering from some underlying cause of your symptoms it is now burdened with decontaminating this chemical and trying to eliminate it without causing tissue damage. Can’t be done. Once you swallow something you commit your body to doing something about it. Notice the warning of liver damage in most drug commercials on television; go to your pharmacy and get the side effects of drugs you take for various ailments. AND...we have not yet addressed the environmental chemicals you pick up from the food and water you drink and the air you breathe.

Little know facts I want my patients to know include the scientific fact that tiny amounts of lead in your body drive up blood pressure. When your doctor determines you have high blood pressure does he/she ever mention you should be checked for lead levels and if present you should have a course of intravenous chelation therapy to reduce the body burden of lead? Does he/she mention that intravenous chelation therapy is approved by the the FDA for heavy metal toxicity? No? Well, why not?

If you are tired all the time and yet cannot sleep are your hormone and thyroid levels checked? No? Well it is time to find out what else you could be doing to help yourself.

Healthy aging is possible. Give us a call and we will help any way we can. 800-733-4065  Oh..Have a delicious organic Thanksgiving!

Confused? What is Alternative Complementary Medicine?

There is a great confusion on the nature of Alternative, Complementary Medicine - actually missing information and false information.  Health care plans, hospitals, counselors and other health providers are providing half the story.  A recent PBS show took up this topic and highlighted yoga, vegetarian diets, nutritional counseling, Reiki and other good things to do.  None of these treatments compete with what the hospital is already doing.  The one glaring thing that was missing from this show was diagnostic and therapeutic modalities that directly compete with common everyday mainstream medicine.   Hospitals offer yoga, acupuncture, Reiki, exercise and nutritional programs,  mind-body medicine and not one of them directly competes or supplants what standard medicine has to offer.  They complement existing drug and surgical care.  They are extremely helpful for many people and we support their use  but the patient is not given all the information and help they could be. That is one half the story.
The attempt to bury, or to forget to mention, all the other treatments available that are direct competition for the usual, leave the public with missing data and the idea that you have accept certain diets, and ways of thinking in a “counseling” or coaching relationship.  It is hard for conservative people who do not want that kind of interference in their life styles.  They want an ALTERNATIVE TO THE USUAL DRUGS AND SURGERY.  They also want to PREVENT bad health outcomes.

There are hundreds of doctors across this country and the world who offer the real thing.  They are medical doctors who think outside the box ; they recognize the body’s ability to heal itself and they offer MEDICAL CARE delivered by themselves and nurses.  Homeopathic medicine is an alternative to drug therapy, chelation therapy is an alternative to drugs and surgery, infusion therapy of various types provides nutrients and other constituents the body is lacking and needs, chiropractic care is an alternative, taking nutrients properly both orally and intravenously is alternative to drugs, sauna therapy reduces the body burden of toxins and drugs making us vulnerable to being sick.  There are cancer treatments apart from chemotherapy and radiation.  These and much more restore normal function and heal.  They are suppressed, misrepresented, and generally not widely known.

Here is a nasty example of how all this works.  There is a widely accepted treatment called External Counter Pulsation.  This is a physical treatment approved by the FDA and reimbursed through medicare but only for one type of heart disease.  It is a treatment you do with a technical person where blood pressure like cuffs are placed around your calves, thighs and hips and you have electrodes on your heart that monitor your heart beat.  Inbetween heart beats the cuffs gently squeeze your legs forcing the blood quickly into the tiny capillaries in your heart that are not in use, it increases blood flow to the heart.  Got the picture?   Well, to avail yourself of this treatment in most clinics, you must be so ill that you cannot withstand another surgery.  That’s right, instead of using it BEFORE someone is really in trouble they wait to use it until you have had and paid for all the surgery you can take.  Guess what!  It works, people get better and regain their energy and improve their heart function even when they had been gravely ill.  Imagine what a wonderful thing to do to prevent heart problems in the first place.  There are tiny capillaries in your heart that are not in use and this encourages their growth.  Hint, did you know your body grows its own blood vessels around blockages if left alone?  It is called collateral circulation.   This treatment is not offered to people before they are in real trouble except in clinics like ours.  It is used in California for athletes to improve proformance.

The most important aspect of health care reform legislation, with all the talk and gnashing of teeth currently, misses the most important points for you and your family.  There is more available to you than you have found out about.  It is fought and suppressed so you stay in the system.  Contact our website and use our links to find doctors  drmaulfair.com, or contact  medical-library.net, icimed.com, or aaem.com.
