    Iron drives heart failure by fattening the heart; iron chelators may prevent/cure

    Recommending high intake of iron is one of the most common dietary recommendations of registered dieticians, as well as many doctors. The fact that lipofuscin - a highly insoluble complex of iron and PUFA peroxides - increases with age is conveniently ignored in those recommendations. The...

    Have people here successfully chelated heavy metals to get lasting improvements?

    If you did this successfully following a protocol: 1. What was the issue(s) chelating solved and how big were the improvements? 2. What strategy did you use to successfully chelate? and how long did it take you to notice improvements? 3. What were your blood work / hair / nail levels of the...

    1000x more lead in (1991) modern humans than pre-industrial humans. Lead & Cadmium as Cardiovascular Risk Factors: The Burden of Proof Has Been Met

    https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JAHA.120.018692 The bone of a 20th century human has 1000‐fold more lead than that of a preindustrial human. Current sources of lead exposure to humans now result from soil, food, water, tobacco smoke and electronic cigarettes, lead‐based paints in and...

    Chelating agents for biofilm disruption

    Any idea how to decrease ALA absorption in the gut? I think taking it with carrot salad/mushrooms, anything else? Alternatively, how to decrease its transport through BBB? I want to incorporate it into my protocol for biofilm disruption in the intestines, so I'm looking to avoid systemic effect...

    Cardenosine And Chelation

    For those aware of my issue I have some preliminary but interesting news. So when my left eye drastically declined I had distance consulted an optometrist who tends to implicate heavy metals along with nutritional deficiencies. Then, with limited time and funds, I went in some other directions...

    I'm Attempting Reversal Of Advanced PSC Cataracts, Feedback Appreciated

    In April a week after my 50th I finally noticed my vision was terrible. I'd been dealing with some major issues and sort of swept my declining vision under the rug. I've been myopic since age 13 so I was already somewhat used to it. At the ophthalmologist, my left eye tested "counting fingers"...

    High Metabolism Quickly Destroys / Chelates Endocrine Disruptors Like BPA

    I suspect the topic of endocrine disruptors is on many forum users' minds. We have had multiple discussions about them here, and the ability of chemicals like BPA / BPS to act as thyroid antagonists and estrogen agonists. Bpa-free Plastic Just As Dangerous As One With Bpa Plasticisers (bpa...

    Deferoxamine (desferal)-powerful iron chelator

    Anybody ever heard of this? I just looked this up after seeing they used it in a parkinsons rat study. Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deferoxamine Deferoxamine (also known as desferrioxamine B, desferoxamine B, DFO-B, DFOA, DFB or desferal) is a bacterial siderophore produced by...

    Cilantro for Iron Chelation

    So, even though I've had a huge success with my health I have been thinking that I have iron overload and am just maintaining my health in spite of it (I have not been able to get a doctor to test iron, even though I had thyroid tumors). I am suspicious of this because if I stop any of the...

    IP6 For Iron Chelation

    I carry too much iron, so I'm always on the lookout for ways to get rid of it. (No...I won't do leeches and probably bleeding myself is out too. :D ) I donate as often as I'm allowed. This IP6 stuff... I guess it is a form of inositol. There are claims that it really gets the iron out...

    Aspirin Chelates Iron

    Both vitamin E and aspirin have been associated in epidemiological studies with lower iron saturation, however I don't think either one is considered an iron chelator. This study says that aspirin is in fact an iron chelator. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3335633 "...Since MDA production...

    Lowering Iron (chelation) May Stop Alzheimer Disease (AD)

    Cranberry Juice Is An Iron Chelator

    For those people trying to lower their iron levels and not being able to take aspirin or vitamin E, this may be a safer alternative. I am not sure cranberries are very Peaty, but they are probably safer in terms of causing GI bleeding than both aspirin and vitamin E...

    Tetracycline Antibiotics Are Strong Iron Chelators

    Chelating BPA

    Actually, this should apply to all estrogenic chemicals similar to BPA contained in plastics. Just b/c the plastic container says "BPA-free" does not mean it is not harmful. Often they have BPS (a close relative of BPA), which is even more toxic and less studied than BPA. It looks like activated...

    Adding Milk To Coffee Doesn't Impair Zn-chelating Capacity

    I wondered whether addition of milk to coffee impairs its chelating activity. While I found no studies for iron, I came across one study that found that the chelating capacity of zinc was not impaired. Guess that is good news for all the coffee+milk drinkers. Effect of Roasting on Properties of...
