The Ultimate Oral Chelator is Finally Formulated asCHELOREX
In 1961, a group of universityhistorians pressured theGovernment of France to dig upNapoleon Bonaparte’s body (died1821) in order to finally determinethe cause of the former emperor’sdeath. A mineral analysis of thecorpse’s hair was performed, whichfound it to contain more than onehundred times a normal level of theheavy toxic metal, arsenic. Thissuggested that Le Petit Caporal (thelittle corporal) had been poisoned.1
The poisoning was notnecessarily carried out byNapoleon’s political enemies, butrather, could have come from anynumber of unsuspected butpotential sources on the Island ofSt. Helena. They might have beencontaminated seafood, well water,burning coal, poultry or livestockfeed additives, wood preservatives,wine, wallpaper dye, colored chalk,and other chemical pollutants of thattime.
Because heavy metals areresponsible for so many diseasesymptoms, their toxicology hasattracted considerable notice fromconsumers as well as the scientificcommunity. Metallic poisonings ofall varieties and their infusion intothe planetary ecosystem haveincreased manifold in the 21st
century with its technologicexplosion. Metallic contaminationsappear destined to worsen evenmore into the next century.Unquestionably, they are hazardousto human existence.What is the Definition ofToxic Metals?
Toxic metals are loosely definedas those elements whose presenceat certain concentrations are knownto interfere with normal metabolicfunctions usually at the level of theenzyme and the mitochondrion.Several of the more poisonousmetals such as lead, mercury,cadmium, and aluminum have noknown biological role. Others arethought to be essential at lower(trace) concentrations but arepoisonous at high levels as in thecase of iron, nickel, arsenic, andcopper. Some metals are especiallypredisposed to producing illnesseswhen they are placed in closeproximity to human tissues which isthe situation for dental restorativematerials. Most metallic productsused in dentistry not only are toxicfor the patient but also for the dentistand his technicians.
Because of modern industrialtechnology, each person living inWestern industrialized countriestoday is theorized to be at least a
thousand times more polluted withheavy metals and aluminum thanwas anyone who lived when Christwalked the earth.
Contamination of the humanbody with various toxic metals iscommon. There are 22 damagingtoxic heavy metals. Aluminum istoxic but with a specific gravity ofonly 2.7 is not one of the heavymetals.2 Six of the toxic metals areentering our everyday environmentin ever-increasing amounts:mercury, cadmium, lead, aluminum,arsenic, and nickel. These areindestructible, recycled, andpoisonous to both internal andexternal body processes. While thetoxic metals may be polluting aperson as the result of occupationalexposure or generalized ecologicalcontamination, other metals areactually implanted into individualsby health professionals such asorthopedists, and cardiac surgeonsand dentists. In addition to mercury,dentists implant other more subtlebut less recognized metallicpoisons, for instance, copper,palladium, tin, nickel, silver, andzinc.
If it can be avoided, under nocircumstance should anyone allowhim or herself to remain inprolonged intimate contact with

toxic heavy metals; otherwise, one’srisk of experiencing an illnesssyndrome is high. In late 1993, theToxic Element ResearchFoundation of Colorado Springs,Colorado used a questionnairedevised by the then functioningHuggins Diagnostic Center underthe supervision of Hal A. Huggins,DDS, which was distributed to 1,320patients who were in treatment forheavy metal toxicity. The Sidebarof Table 1 shows these patients’frequency of dysfunctions.
Evolution of a ChelatingFormula Administered Orally
Recognizing the incident growthof il lness syndromes and thepercentage of recurrences of thesame dysfunctions and/ordiscomforts for people all over NorthAmerica, numbers of holistic healthprofessionals have becomedisillusioned with the practice ofstandard modern medicine. Theysaw that mainstream medicine wasfailing its patients. Some of thesedoctors sought to enlightenthemselves by any effective meanspossible, and this was the case forone particular physician working inBaltimore, Maryland.
“Fifteen years ago, noting thelack of progress toward healing inmany of my patients, I felt frustratedand dissatisfied. While manypatients improved with thecorrection of nutritional deficiencies,the administering of drugs neverseemed to cure anyone, eventhough these patients were takingvitamins,” says Alan Greenberg,MD, formerly of Baltimore,Maryland. “I was practicingneurology and psychiatry, and hadtaken several years of post-graduate training in biochemistryunder a National ScienceFoundation grant, but felt that
Medicine was not addressing thereal causes of disease.
“And then it happened! I becameincreasingly aware of medicalliterature regarding metal toxicity,chemical poisoning, environmentalpollution, and fluoride poisoning. Ibegan doing hair analysis on all mypatients and was shocked andamazed to see the high incidenceof metal poisoning in them. I wasnot yet aware that the World HealthOrganization had stated in a 1974Report on Toxic Metals that 82% ofchronic degenerative disease wascaused by toxic metals. I purchased
a textbook of naturopathic medicineand was impressed by the largeamount of useful information incontrast to standard allopathictextbooks of medicine in whichalmost every disease was said tobe either genetic or idiopathic. Ibegan to see increasing numbersof patients with multiple chemicalsensitivities, chronic fatigue andfibromyalgia, whose lives weresignificantly affected. Invariably Idiscovered that these people

contained elevated amounts of toxicmetals such as mercury, lead,antimony, arsenic and uranium. Isaw that all my patients working withmetal – welders, machinists, automechanics, plumbers, painters,carpenters and jewelers hadevidence of metal toxicity with highlevels of toxic metals. Toxic metalpoisoning was causing their variousdifficulties – mental problems suchas depression, irritability, impairedimpulse control, violent behavior,sleep disturbances, impairedconcentration and memory, speechdisturbances and neuropathies,severe headaches includingmigraine, premature aging, hairloss, chronic pain syndromes,hypertension, Raynaud’s syndromeand thyroid dysfunction, GIdisturbances, porphyria, gout,diabetes, autoimmunedisturbances, allergies, immunesuppression, and kidney, liver andheart failure.
“The effect of toxic metals onmitochondrial function causingimpaired energy metabolism andthe concomitant release of freeradicals is a major issue in thepathologies of degenerativedisease. Some 85 to 90% of freeradicals produced cellular disruptionfrom mitochondrial dysfunction. Thisleads to chronic fatigue and tissuedamage resulting in long termdegenerative disease. Theoverwhelming majority of metalpoisoning (perhaps 98%) is due tochronic rather than acute exposureto toxic metals.” Dr. Greenbergstates. “This leads to gradualinsidious development ofsymptoms, often overlooked initiallyuntil damage is far advanced.
“The detoxification of metals inthe liver is an energy-dependentprocess utilizing three molecules ofglutathione for every molecule oftoxic metal excreted,” says thephysician, “For this leads to chronicdepletion of glutathione, whichtogether with selenium is necessaryfor the detoxification of chemicals,for protection against intracellularfree radicals and for the conversionof relatively inactive thyroxin to themuch more active T3.
“Initially I attempted to removemetals from the patients’ tissues byusing two potent synthetic chelatingagents, DMPS [2,3-Dimercaptopropane-1-sulfonic acid] and DMSA[2,3-Dimercaptosuccinic acid]. Butmany patients, especially those withchemical sensitivities with impaireddetoxification mechanisms,encountered severe adversereactions to taking these highlypotent drugs. So I began seekingout natural and nontoxic chelatingagents, and I found a whole host ofthem which I kept adding to myformulation,” Dr. Greenbergadvises. “I used green foods suchas cilantro extract for mobilizingtoxic metals from the centralnervous system and chlorella algaeas ionic exchange resins to preventreabsorption of toxic metals fromthe GI tract. Plus I formulated intomy new and evolving orally-administered, over-the-counter foodsupplement trace minerals such asmagnesium and selenium whichreduce metallic toxicity and zincwhich stimulates metallothioneinsynthesis.
“Into the oral chelator I put theamino acid N-acetylcysteine (NAC),the glutathione precursor L-glutamine, and alpha lipoic acid toraise glutathione levels. I includedtaurine for enhancing biliaryexcretion, inhibiting cytokine
release, and protecting the centralnervous system, eye andleukocytes.” says Dr. Greenberg.“Alpha lipoic acid also bindsintracellular toxic metals, andquenches free radicals. Vitamins C,known to enhance toxic metalexcretion and vitamin E are part ofthe formula too. Methyl-sulfonylmethane (MSM) is added toenhance cell membranepermeability and reduceinflammation.”
Ongoing Studies with Dr.Greenberg’s CommercialProduct
This metal detoxification regimenwas made into a commercialproduct initially called “Metal Flush,”but now marketed exclusively asChelorex. In this product is asynergistic blend of ingredientswhich enhance the body’s naturalmechanisms for excreting the entirerange of toxic metals and which alsoenhance the body’s ability todetoxify chemicals. Because theformula contains both hydrophilicchelators and lipophilic agentswhich raise intracellular glutathioneand pass through the blood brainbarrier, it can remove toxic metalsfrom intracellular locations andmobilize heavy metals from thecentral nervous system. For thepast three years the manufacturerhas maintained an ongoing study ofChelorex revealing very impressivedecreases in levels of the entirerange of toxic metals in hair andfeces in all patients adhering to therecommended regimen.
The most impressive resultshave been seen in those patientswith the highest initial toxic metallevels. The Carolina Center Studyconducted by John Pittman, MD,(reported below) was remarkablenot only because of the enhanced

fecal excretion of mercury butbecause of the impressive releaseof other metals including platinum,tungsten, beryllium, bismuth, lead,cadmium, uranium and arsenic.Why is this important? Because thepresence of multiple toxic metalssignificantly lowers the toxicthreshold for each of the metalspresent. Furthermore, syntheticchemicals, includingpharmaceutical drugs, can and docause mitochondrial dysfunctionwith its serious adverseconsequences.
“Because Chelorex contains onlynatural substances, it causesminimal or no adverse side effectseven for highly sensitive chemically-reactive people,” asserts Dr. AlanGreenberg.
The optimal Chelorex dosagesfor eliminating prolonged depositionof toxic metals from overburdenedbody tissues are the following:
Take one caplet per 10 poundsof body weight each morning; Take1 caplet per 10 pounds of bodyweight each evening.
While drinking seven glasses ofpurified water per day, continue thistherapeutic regimen for 45 days.Some persons may choose to takeonly one dose of 1 caplet per 10 lbsper day for 90 days. Following thistherapeutic regimen, themanufacturer, Science Formulas,Inc., recommends a maintenancedosage level, which consists ofthree-to-six caplets daily with food.
Except for some infrequently-occurring minor side effects such asslight increase in urination or bowelmovements, a feeling ofsluggishness, transient mildheadache during the first few daysof ingestion from enhancedmobilization of toxic material,potential physiological benefits arelikely to accrue.

John C. Pittman, MD, is anEnthusiastic User of Chelorex
“About 18 months ago I listenedintently to a presentation by AlanGreenberg, MD, on metallicpoisoning and its neutralization. Dr.Greenberg’s lecture was brilliantand exceedingly insightful. We hada long talk after his lecture,” statesRaleigh, North Carolinaendocrinologist John C. Pittman,MD, Medical Director of the CarolinaCenter for Integrative Medicine, anda diplomate in chelation therapy. Hehas additional practice specialtiesin nutrition and preventive medicine.
Dr. Pittman continues, “Thediscussion between Dr. Greenbergand me resulted in my conductinga small Chelorex clinical study onthe hair, urine, and feces of 19patients divided into two groups.Fourteen people made up a two-dose group, taking the oral chelatorfor 45 days and five were in the one-dose group taking it for 90 days. Iwas one of the five.
“The patients each answered aquestionnaire. My staff performedurine and stool sample collectionsat the study’s start for a baseline,then two weeks into the treatment,and at the end of treatment. Hairsamples were taken prior totreatment and finally, one monthfollowing the treatment’s end.Analyses of the patients’ hairsamples were performed byDoctors Data, Inc.” Dr. Pittmanexplains. “Hardly any of the patientsexperienced any side effects fromtaking Chelorex. I was one of the90-day study participants who hadsymptomatic side effects whichappeared as classic heavy-metalsystemic stirrup. My symptomsincluded tinnitus, vertigo, sleepdisturbances, fatigue, and a fewtremors. However, elevated levelsof mercury came down for me asindicated by a challenge test. Dr.Greenberg’s Chelorex really workswell as an oral chelator.
“The patients’ laboratory resultsfrom Doctors Data, Inc. showed anoverall heavy metal reduction of84% in urine levels from baseline.Patients exhibited variable heavymetal reductions compared to hairsample readings at baseline. Also,compared to hair and urine testing,the participating patients’ stoolsamples revealed even greaterresponses from Chelorex ingestion— a true chelating effect,” assuresDr. Pittman. “The fecal samples at14 days after the start of treatmentrevealed good mobilization ofmetals; one male patient had a103% increase of toxic metals in hisstool, and another man showed a141% elevation of stool mercury.
“A 66 year-old female had a hugetoxic metal jump in her fecescontent in two weeks to 23,393%elevation. The woman’s poisons

consisted of arsenic, cadmium, andnearly all the other heavy metals.By the end of her treatment period,she was pretty much cleaned outand toxic metals disappeared fromher feces,” says Dr. Pittman. “Sheshowed some very obvious clinicalbenefits from the Chelorex cleanout.Since completing this oral chelationstudy in September 2004, I havecontinued with a similar treatmentprogram of dispensing Chelorex forthe majority of my patients. Myrecommendation for anyoneundergoing standard intravenouschelation therapy should be tocombine their IVs with daily self-administration of Chelorex.
“Much higher levels of heavymetals are coming out of patientsusing that excellent combination oftherapies – IV and oral chelation.The combination shakes thingsloose from the adipose tissues andother cellular structures which arestoring toxins. Newrecommendations in chelationtherapy include using theseadjunctive agents such as Chelorexto capture more toxic heavy metals,particularly when mercury is thesource of difficulty,” affirms chelatingphysician Dr. John C. Pittman.“When patients cannot take IVchelation therapy because of longdistances to travel to receive it orfrom the great amount of time ittakes for infusion or as a result ofthe expense of injection care, oralChelorex by itself is a good effectivesubstitute.”
A Dentist Orally ChelatesHimself with Chelorex
“I use Chelorex for myself andmy wife, and we check our progresswith periodic hair analyses. I do thatchecking twice a year,” declaresJohn Vandenberg, DDS of EtticotCity, Maryland (a suburb area near
Oral ChelatorBaltimore). “From taking Chelorexin a daily maintenance dosage offour caplets in the morning, I’veseen really good results with thereduction of my prostateenlargement and a lowering of myPSA (prostate specific antigen). Ithas dropped from a high PSA of 14down to 6.6. Without taking anyother form of prostate treatmentexcept Chelorex, this PSA numbercame down gradually but steadilyover a two-year period. I am veryhappy with taking Chelorex.
“To keep toxic elements fromaccumulating during my formerlyhazardous business of traditionally-practiced dentistry, taking oralchelation therapy was mandatory. Inow continue supplementing withthis oral chelator. I had discontinuedusing mercury as amalgam fillingmaterial only about three years ago,but now all I use to fill teeth with isdental composite,” says Dr.Vandenberg. “My own silver fillingswere removed six years ago so thata continuous ingestion of Chelorexkeeps the mercury reading in myhair mineral analysis very low. Overtime, as well, mercury content hasdropped from my original shockinglyhigh oral mercury vapor analysis of192 down to 0.44. You may knowthat a normal limit is 1.1, so I amkept non-toxic for mercury byChelorex ingestion.
“I recommend the taking ofChelorex for anyone who is opento such advice. It’s not practical forme to do any followup with mydental patients. I don’t dispenseproducts in my office,” Dr.Vandenberg states. “My wife takesChelorex faithfully now although shedid experience diarrhea originallywith the previous oral chelatorbefore its name was changed from‘Metal Flush’ to Chelorex. But withthe name change, Dr. Greenberg
made an effective formula alterationas well, and diarrhea is never aproblem anymore.
“Years ago there was a mercuryspill in my office, and I’ve been waryof any kind of dental toxicity since.Chelorex supplementation is a vitalmorning practice for me; taking it ispart of my daily routine,” affirms Dr.John Vandenberg.
