Why Detox?
Up to that point in time, she had only used Chlorella for heavy metal detoxification as suggested by her AK teacher Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt (www.klinghardt.org) but later came across the work of Dr. Timothy Ray (quoted above), who seemingly developed more effective methods for detoxification. According to their articles, Klinghardt and Ray conducted longtime clinical trials in the subject matter of heavy metals and detoxification, so their scientific work is backed up by hard facts and laboratory measurements.
It has been observed that resolving psycho-emotional trauma increases the excretion of heavy metals. Hence, in addition to deal with coarse toxication (e.g. from amalgam fillings), continuous elimination of heavy metals seems to be an integral part of the Work on the Self.
I looked into Ray's articles. He studied Biological Medicine in the US, Germany and England (www.bioray2000.com/ContactBioray.cfm). Ray's findings are useful in a practical manner, so I decided to post excerpts of his articles below.
Firstly, I have found those threads in the SOTT forum regarding mercury and heavy metals: Why is thimerosal still in most flu vaccines!!??, Thimerosal, a preservative for vaccines and what else it does., Cervical cancer-Mich. schoolgirls may need HPV shots, Mercury in the air?, Fasting, Gluten, MSG, Soy, Blood Type Diet and Environmental Comments.
Ray suggests a detoxification program right in tune with common sense. Paraphrasing Ray from what I know from my own therapy:
General approach:
- Clean from coarse/outside/extrazellular to fine/inside/intracellular (like you do when cleaning your home for example)
- do not mobilize more toxins than you can excrete, or they will be redistibuted to other locations, thereby triggering an unwanted 'healing crisis'.
- hence, have your excretion paths (liver, kidney, intestine, skin, etc.) in good shape and support metabolic processes (biochemically) if needed.
Pay attention to following pitfalls:
- do not fast, protein is nessecary for excretion of toxins
- mercury acts as an antibiotic; elimination of same may arouse latent infections, e.g. protozoa infection
- probiotics (e.g. acidophilus, streptococcus) may metabolize excreted mercury (still in the intestine) into dangerous methylmercury
- dying fungi/yeasts (e.g. candida) may release vast amounts of previously bound mercury
- parasites (e.g. ascaris) excrete toxins
- keep ammonium value low (ammonium reacts violently with mercury)
- ischemic lesions may serve as a deep layer of toxin deposits
- use only saliva and/or urine for analysis (e.g. HERMES system, see below), because blood indices appear delayed (buffering, body sustains homeostasis)
- prevent acidosis
- avoid constipation and dehydration
- blocked self-regulation of the body (e.g. scars)
- mental/emotional stagnation, family dynamics
- defective structural / cranial positions
- do body exercise
- etc.
The main question is, of course, how are hevy metals removed from the body? Quoted from http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0ISW/is_2003_June/ai_102372159/pg_2
Ray suggests a strategic detoxification. For this, a physician mediated "Five Stage Heavy Metal & Chemical Detox Protocol" has been created, accompanied by an optional "detox management system" called HERMES (acting as an objective feedback loop); both based on biochemistry and 15 years clinical experience in detoxification.
STAGE 1 - Preparation of the body and stop of toxin influx
a) address teeth, diet, water, lifestyle, environment, past, trauma, structural problems, etc. In short: be in a stable condition
b) prepare (strengthen) excretion organs
c) cleanse blood, so that blood cells don't clump together
STAGE 2 - Repair and cleanse excretion organs
(Note: for example see thread Blessed Herbs Colon Cleansing Kit
STAGE 3 - Cleanse extracellular areas
STAGE 4 - Cleanse intracellular areas
STAGE 5 - Cleanse central nervous system and ischemic lesions
Afterwards reparation of damages -- evoked by longime toxication -- finally can be carried out by the body.
Each listed stage is facilitated by Ray's chelation agents. The optional HERMES feedback system seems to be an cheap, easy and fast saliva and/or urine analysis, which allows avoinding expensive and slow labor analysis.

Some years ago I heard of the damaging effects of mercury and consequently decided to remove all my amalgam fillings (four) at once. This was the reason I first came into contact with my AK (Applied Kinesiology) practitioner, who tested mercury in my small intestine -- apparently I had swallowed a small amount of amalgam debris. My detoxification was guided by her and I learnt about the process as we went along.Dr. Timothy Ray:
In the last few decades our planet has been deluged with billions of tons of pollution, hundreds of thousands of new chemicals, toxic medical procedures and OTC drugs (over the counter), depletion of the topsoil causing nutrient deficiencies and diminished oxygen supply. The combinations of some of these new poisons, like mycotoxin-based antibiotics with mercury, are much more deadly than each separately. Thousands of interactions have not been studied. This situation is very new to our evolutionary time-line as a species.
The status of this poisoning is not agreed upon by mainstream politics or medicine; and if it is, they are not mobilizing against it.[...]
If a person is diagnosed with a disease and poisoned at the same time, should they be treated for the disease or detoxified first? Many doctors do not even know that their patients are chronically poisoned! You might have to manage their symptoms in the meantime, but clearly the poisons must be removed first to even know if they have the disease, and what their own powers of self-healing are. Unfortunately today, we are all poisoned to some degree. Commonsense dictates that we minimize the presence and impact of these poisons on our system, and learn how to do so as a survival skill. [...]
Heavy metal and chemical poisoning are mutagenic, cytotoxic, and disrupt every regulatory system in the body. The longer a person has been toxic, and the more severe, complex, interactive and pervasive the symptoms, the more caution must be exercised during detox.[...]
A person who is still well can learn to stop the exposure, do a common sense oriented and pH managed home detox program, and use simple prevention and management supplements.
Once detox is complete, a medical re-evaluation is recommended. At this point, if a person is still sick, a diagnosis makes sense. Once the poisons are removed all medical modalities, natural and unnatural, become substantially more effective. [...]
There is a very good chance that once the toxins are gone, the body's ability to self-heal will take over and restore the system to wellness. I have seen this happen in clinic hundreds of times.

Ray developed chelation agents based on natural, organic ingredients. According to laboratory measurements, those are more effective than the commonly used chelation agents like DMPS, DMSA and others.Chelation Therapy (Wiki) is almost the only means of removing toxic metals from the body and brain. Chelation (Wiki) works by capturing the molecules of poisonous metal into an ionic structure and removing them from the cells, bloodstream, and various storage depots in the tissues. Chelators are those therapeutic chemicals employed by chelation therapists [...]
