MEDICINAL EMBRYONIC PHYTOTHERAPY (MEPTM) SELECTIVE TOXIC METALS CHELATION
WITH EMBRYONIC PLANT EXTRACTS (EPEs)
© Dominique Richard 2018 Organic trace minerals are not deposited in the body like inorganic forms of these elements. Research shows that organic plant-derived trace ionic minerals naturally chelate or remove the inorganic minerals from the body. This is called Oligotherapy and Lithotherapy and are part of Biotherapy methodology. Toxic metal may occupy the site of the enzyme but are void of any activity in that site, thus enzyme "clinkers" are formed, which the body cannot utilize. Nutrient "Oligo-elements" can displace a toxic metal on the surface of the cells, as well as the toxic metals, which occupy the sites of activity in the enzyme, thereby activating the enzyme where it can be utilized by the body. The Oligo-elements also can serve as energy for the body and to aid in the detoxification process of the toxic metal if present. Minerals and oligo or trace elements regulate all organic processes in the body and are indispensable to life.

Long-term exposure to high levels of arsenic in drinking water can cause thickening and pigment spots in the skin, and cancer of the skin, lungs, bladder or kidney. Exposure in the workplace – mainly via the air breathed in – can cause lung cancer. Smoking further increases the risk.
Long-term ingestion of arsenic, mainly from drinking of contaminated well water, has caused a disease called “Blackfoot disease” in Taiwan. Blood vessels of the leg and foot become damaged, resulting in coldness, loss of feeling and eventually gangrene in the foot.

s, hemochromatosis, and hemochromocytosis without the need for routine phlebotomy. Furthermore, iron-overload is often over express in some types of cancer malignancies. What is even more curious and interesting is? How can a plant like that of Grape Vine with a high concentration of iron 18.08 mg/g (Sousa et al., 2014), can possibly reduce iron-overload the results of its total chemical composition and not that of any one single compound? Here is once more is demonstrated the bipolar/biphasic modulatory nature of Grape Vine buds in the treatment for both iron-overload as well as ferritin anemia. These effects may be mediated by alterations in lead toxicokinetics via iron metabolic pathways regulated by the hemochromatosis gene (HFE) product and body iron stores (Richard, 2018).

Mercury exists in three basic forms:
Elemental,
Inorganic
Organic
Dental amalgams are the most common source for elemental mercury vapor, which is a stable monoatomic gas.
Inorganic mercury, which is a divalent compound, is the toxic species found in human tissue after the conversion from other forms.
Organic mercury in the form of methyl and ethyl mercury is primarily from fish, sea mammals, and thimerosal vaccines. Although dental amalgams have historically been the major source of human exposure, fish and sea mammals are becoming an increasing

Mercury induces mitochondrial dysfunction with reduction in adenosine triphosphate (ATP), depletion of glutathione, and increased in lipid peroxidation. Increased oxidative stress and reduced oxidative defense are common.
The overall vascular effects of mercury include increased oxidative stress and inflammation, reduced oxidative defense, thrombosis, vascular smooth muscle dysfunction, endothelial dysfunction, dyslipidemia, and immune and mitochondrial dysfunction. The clinical consequences of mercury toxicity include hypertension, coronary heart disease, myocardial

Mercury, as thiomersal or thimerosal, is widely used in the manufacture of mascara and vaccines. Thiomersal is used as a preservative in vaccines, immunoglobulin preparations, skin testing antigens, antivenins, ophthalmic and nasal products, and tattoo inks. Thiomersal is very toxic by inhalation, and when in contact with the skin (EC hazard symbol T+), with a danger of cumulative effects.
Mercury is used in thermometers, barometers, manometers, sphygmomanometers, float valves, mercury switches, mercury relays and fluorescent lamps.
infarction, cardiac arrhythmias, reduced heart rate variability, increased carotid intima-media thickness and carotid artery obstruction, cerebrovascular accident, generalized atherosclerosis, and renal dysfunction, insufficiency, and proteinuria.
Mercury diminishes the protective effect of omega-3 fatty acids. Mercury inactivates catecholaminei-0-methyl transferase, which increases serum and urinary epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine. This effect will increase blood pressure and may be a clinical clue to mercury-induced metal toxicity.
Mercury toxicity should be evaluated in any patient with hypertension, coronary heart disease, cerebral vascular disease, cerebrovascular accident, or other vascular disease. Specific testing for acute and chronic toxicity and total body burden should be performed.

METALLOESTROGENS include: Mercury. Metalloestrogens are an emerging class of inorganic xenoestrogens with potential to add to the estrogenic burden of the human malignant breast cancers (Darbre, 2006).
The vascular biological side effects of mercury were studied. Numerous toxic effects of mercury have been demonstrated in vitro studies of animal and human. Mercury increases free-radical production; inactivates antioxidant defenses; binds to thiol-containing compounds; binds to selenium, forming seleno-mercury complexes, reducing selenium availability for GPx activity; inactivates glutathione, catalase, and superoxide dismutase; increases oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) complexes.

biomethylation to inorganic divalent mercury, the toxic type in human organs and tissues. Divalent mercury is soluble and stable in water and undergoes biomethylation to methyl mercury, which is found in high concentrations in certain fish and sea mammals. It is this source that is becoming the major source of human exposure to mercury. Mercury is the most dangerous of all the toxic metals. It will modify the distribution and retention of other toxic metals. Mercury has no known physiologic role in human metabolism, and the human body has no mechanisms to actively excrete mercury. Mercury thus accumulates during life so that the average 165-lb person has a total body burden of about 13 mg of mercury. Mercury has a high affinity for sulfhydryl groups, various enzymes and amino acids, N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), alpha lipoic acid (ALA), and glutathione (GSH), which provide about 10% to 50% of the plasma protein antioxidant capacity. Both NAC and ALA, as well as cysteine, are precursors for glutathione, which is the most potent

From the oligo-elements composition of a specific plant, the end fate of its biological activity can be deduced.
If a plant has a higher content of selenium coexisting with xyloglucans, then it is more likely to possess antioxidant and antitumor activities. This again helps define new pharmacological indications. Understanding interactive synergistic effects that are attributed not to one compound, but to an entire phytochemical composition, and how to achieve the desired end biological activities, will give an advanced edge in the design of combinatorial treatments.

Increased dietary intake of selenium reduces the effects of mercury toxicity although it is effective only at low to modest doses of mercury.
In target tissues, T4, the most abundant circulating thyroid hormone, can be converted to T3 by selenium-containing enzymes known as deiodinases. In this manner, thyroid hormones regulate a number of physiologic processes, including growth, development, metabolism, and reproductive function.

The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) States the following: Reviews of the scientific literature on colloidal silver have concluded that: Silver has no known function in the body. Silver is not a nutritionally essential mineral or a cure-all and should not be promoted as such.
Claims that there can be a “deficiency” of silver in the body and that such a deficiency can lead to disease are unfounded. Claims made about the effectiveness of colloidal silver for numerous diseases are unsupported scientifically. In fact, Colloidal silver can have serious side effects.

TITANIUM (Ti) Atomic number
22
Dental implants and prosthesis such as hip balls and sockets (joint replacement).
These devices are made from a blend of several different metals, including chromium, cobalt, nickel, titanium and molybdenum. When the metal parts rub against each other, they release microscopic amounts of these metal particles into the blood and surrounding tissues.
Metallosis & Metal Poisoning. Some individual has allergies to these metals. It is highly recommended to test for metal allergies before having any of the prosthesis replacement.
Ceramic (Zirconia) is the newly recommended material for dental implants, crowns, knee and hip replacements that is non-allergenic and in facts so biocompatible that it increases osteogenesis and prevents bone loss.
Biocompatibility: zirconium is an inert material that seldom cause allergic reactions.
Metal-free: no corrosion, no galvanism effect, no metallic taste, no electronic disturbances.
Zirconia dental implants are exceptionally strong even stronger than titanium.
Ceramic dental implants are so biocompatible that soft tissue actually grows up around the abutment. This means that the gums continue to grow without the concerns of receding gums that accompany titanium implants.
Whereas metal-on-metal hip implants release metal
Titanium implants can elevate serum levels, which correlates to lung cancer.

Whereas, Dandelion can be added to the other plants and SIP over a period of at least 5 minutes is best.
Depending on blood results for chromium, cobalt, nickel choose appropriate protocol for the chelation and detoxification of these metals.
