Concluding Thoughts

• Mercury and other toxic metals are prevalent in our environment and have significant negative influence over our health. They are important factors in creating chronic toxicity.
• Chronic toxicity of mercury and other toxic metals has been overlooked by conventional western medicine.
• The approach to chronic mercury toxicity is in its infancy. There is some anecdotal experience, but only a few studies have been reported in mainstream literature. My personal experience is considered to be subjective as well.
• Several available studies report remarkable results, up to 73 % in symptom improvement and even full resolution of symptoms. The side effects of this approach have been negligible when compared with the side effects from the continuous need to take medications.
• Reported effectiveness of chelation treatment far exceeds most of the conventional treatment approaches.
• The list of patients who may be suffering from chronic mercury and other heavy metal toxicity could be much larger than has been suspected.
• Patients who are planning to undergo chelation therapy should first remove all sources of ongoing toxicity, primarily replacing amalgam fillings and eliminating large predatory fish from their diet.
• To be successful, treatment should be conducted on all five levels, including change in diet, exercise, eliminating unnecessary medication and supplements, and addressing energetic, emotional, transpersonal and spiritual issues.
• Because mercury affects the nervous and multiple enzyme systems, we should consider it as a possible cause for many chronic psychiatric, neurological and physical conditions.
• My anecdotal experience has shown that it is possible to cure treatment resistant cases of depression, psychosis, anxiety and OCD.
• The chelation process is generally a safe and effective way to restore health.
• Kinesiological testing is effective as a guide in suspecting mercury toxicity and can aid in treatment choices.
• There is an urgent need for conducting studies that explore heavy metal toxicity issues. Dr. Wojcik’s remarkable study, done with very little support, is a great example for holistically-minded practitioners.
• More research is needed. The studies should be prospective, randomized, lasting 2+ years, and include treatment resistant cases; they should compare contemporary western approach with CAM on a number of parameters, such as symptoms resolution, side effects, cost, total health changes, ability to achieve full remission, happiness and satisfaction with life.

I am thankful to my patients for allowing me to report their cases and I ask them to be patient with me while I am learning how to help them in the most effective way.
