i only know of EDTA for chelating lead i believe. isnt there a wide variety of other substances that help successfuly remove toxins and heavy metals from the body besides lead ? i was thinking, cadmium, mercury, iron and especially aluminum because its the hardest to remove it seems. anyone care to add anything please be helpful to form some kind of a guide for chelation.

High aluminum levels put you at risk for Alzheimer's, and god knows what else. Fortunately, soluble silica will help you excrete it. There are some significant food sources of silica, like beer and green beans. JarrowSil and BioSil are supplemental sources of soluble silica that I've used. I first used them because I wanted to build more bone mass, to the extent that's possible. These days, I use a half dose of JarrowSil daily, not only for bone and skin health but also for aluminum reduction.

I thought the aluminum-Alzheimer connection was not proven, still only speculation.

Calcium d glucarate, spirulina and chlorella detox heavy metals. Theres a lot more onfo on why at bulletproof exec site. N acetyl cysteine detoxes metals and acetaminophen and shit

Well, the epidemiology is pretty ugly. That's not exactly "proof", but it goes a lot beyond speculation. There was a period in the 80's when there was an initial concern which then seemed to have been put to rest, but since then, it seems like everything I've seen tips in the direction of "aluminum isn't good for you". All things considered, I'd prefer to keep my intake low.

IP6 (Inositol Hexaphosphate) really does chelate iron and for middle age and older men, iron appears to be the toxic heavy metal to watch...

Bill Sardi has a great thesis on this here: http://www.longevine...of-aging-part1/ A Unnifying Theory of Aging. Be sure to click ahead and read all four parts/pages.

I pulled my ferritin (stored iron) from near 200, all the way down into the teens in less than a year through blood donation and careful use of IP6. My health has greatly improved and I consider "iron pulling" the greatest fountain of youth therapy man has ever "rediscovered". Bloodletting has been the most consistently popular therapeutic medical treatment over the past couple thousand years, and only fell out of favor in the 20th Century when doctors discovered it was more profitable to treat disease than prevent it.

If you can not, or will not donate blood, just one 500mg cap of IP6 per day, taken on a very empty stomach with a full glass of water will effectively lower iron. IP6 also chelates calcium and magnesium, copper and zinc; but research indicates it will not cause deficiencies in these minerals if it is not taken with meals.

Effect of Inositol Hexaphosphate on Lipopolysaccharide-Stimulated Release of TNF-α from Human Mononuclear Cells

"It has been shown that
the antinutritional effect of IP6 could be manifested only
when large amounts of IP6 were consumed together with
a diet poor in trace elements, but if essential minerals
were present in the proper ratio with respect to IP6, there
was no modification of mineral balance [7]. Studies in
rats fed IP6 showed no significant toxic effects on serum
or bone mineral deficiency [8]. Furthermore, the analysis
of IP6 effect on mineral status in rats fed for a long time
period through a second generation to evaluate possible
effects related to a pregnancy and lactation revealed no
decrease in mineral bioavailability, with the exception
of lower zinc levels in bone [9]. In addition, rats fed an
equilibrated purified diet with IP6 showed about 10-fold
higher concentrations of zinc in bone compared to the
control animal group [6]. It has also been reported that
a high IP6-containing diet did not negatively affect rat
plasma copper and zinc concentrations [10] and no relation
of zinc deficiency with IP6 has been observed in
women who ingested vegetarian or meat-based diet with
equal IP6 contents"

Most all processed foods now days are "iron enriched" to prevent anemia in menstruating women, but for men and post menopausal women, iron is the enemy that accelerates aging and disease, and iron reduction appears to be the true fountain of youth in middle age and beyond. Here are a few more clues for you all.

Donation of blood is associated with reduced risk of myocardial infarction

"In a Cox proportional hazards model adjusting for age, examination years and all other predictive coronary disease risk factors, blood donors had a 88% reduced risk of acute myocardial infarction, compared with non-blood donors. These findings suggest that frequent blood loss through voluntary blood donations may be associated with a reduced risk of acute myocardial infarction in middle-aged men."

Moderate elevation of body iron level and increased risk of cancer occurrence and death

"There is evidence, in this cohort, of elevated cancer risk in those with moderately elevated iron level. This pattern was seen in women as well as in men"

Getting the iron out: Phlebotomy for Alzheimer’s disease?

"Impaired physiological iron management could help to explain accumulation of hemosiderin and biogenic magnetite in AD brain, and redox active iron associated with senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, the pathological hallmarks of AD".
"We propose that an age-associated increase in body iron stores, which is potentially modifiable by diet and genetics, could be at the apex of a pathophysiological cascade that increases risk for AD and promotes disease progression"

IP6 is also dirt cheap at around 10 cents a pill (Jarrow).

do you hav a good research extract to show where silica helps remove aluminum ? never heard this before and it confuses me how it does it.
also nobody knows any other ways to get rid of aluminum ? its the one metal i cannot find any good reliable ways to remove it.
