DNA Damage by Heavy Metals

Introduction

In our modern world, harmful heavy metals are contagious to our health. 65% of North Americans have high quantities of heavy metals in their bodies. Skin disorders, neurological diseases such as Parkinson disease, cardiovascular disorders, carcinoma, tumor, rare autoimmune disorder, degenerative disease are common examples of damage caused by heavy metals [1].

Exogenous and endogenous are two processes involved in damaging DNA. These heavy metals produce reactive oxygen species and bring many changes in the repair mechanism of DNA. Heavy metals have very bad impacts on human health.
Depending upon its chemical form, heavy metals cause toxicity or harm the body even if it contains a very small amount of the heavy metal. Different heavy metals migrate to different areas of the body and cause different diseases in human beings.

For example, mercury (Hg) can cause lung, heart and kidney diseases. However, essential elements such as selenium (Se), Iron (Fe), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) can protect the body against heavy metals, and deficiencies of these elements can cause a variety of symptoms and diseases in humans [3].

Heavy Metals Create Free Radicals

Heavy metals can antagonise and replace essential minerals in the cell, therefore reducing the function of the cell. An example is the hemoglobin molecule in the red blood cell – mercury antagonises iron which will disrupt the transportation and oxygenation of cells [4].

Given that the body is made up of 70% or more of water, it is possible for heavy metals to create electrical conductivity in different tissues – one typical example is in dental work where amalgam fillings are used. For example metal braces, nickel or gold crown, filled root canals with stainless steel can all create a “battery-effect” generating electric current which can cause headaches, plaquing in blood vessels, bone disorders in teeth, heartbeat disturbances, immune system deficiencies and other diseases.

Heavy metals can create acidic fluids in the body. The pH of the blood should remain within very fine parameters otherwise it can become fatal. Having heavy metal loads can create an acidic pH that requires calcium buffers to neutralise. When the level of blood calcium drops below normal, then the body will go seek calcum from the bones, that is likely to lead to osteoporosis.

Free radicals work by stealing electrons from the cell membrane of different cells. Heavy metals cause a tremendous amount of free radical damage which includes aging caused by DNA damage, cardiovascular disorders, fatigue and rare autoimmune disorder, arthritis, chronic arterial rupture and other degenerative problems [5].

All these degenerative diseases result from the damage to the DNA and genetic material in the cells. This is why it is critically important to undergo a heavy metal detox on a regular basis in order to optimise health.

Exposure to heavy metal and its Effects on DNA

Heavy metals continuously damage the DNA through the production of free radical damage and antagonism of essential minerals. One way that the cell gets damaged is through DNA strand breaks (DSBs) to the DNA helix which causes the death of the cell. In the mammalian cells it is possible to repair these DNA strand breaks – by homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end joining (NHEJ).

So, now that we have determined the damaging effect of heavy metals, which are ubiquitous in our world, what can we do to protect ourselves and cleanse these heavy metals from the body? Let us examine in more details one of the best, scientifically-tested, natural heavy metal detox protocols on the market.

DR. GEORGIOU’S HEAVY METAL DETOX PROTOCOL

Dr. George J. Georgiou, is the inventor of the natural heavy metal detox protocol that is now known as Dr. Georgiou’s Heavy Metal Detox Protocol.

Dr. George Georgiou, Ph.D.,N.D.,D.Sc (AM).,M.Sc.,B.Sc is a world-leading expert in the field of holistic medicine and detoxification. He has written 23 books, has published numerous articles and has lectured at various schools and universities and is the Founder/Director of the Da Vinci Institute of Holistic Medicine as well as the Da Vinci Holistic Health Center based in Larnaca, Cyprus.

The main product is called HMD™ which stands for Heavy Metal Detox.

More About HMD™

This is a scientifically tested, natural heavy metal detox product called HMD™ that has been on the market for over 15 years, and has been used and tested clinically by many practitioners around the world, and shown to work effectively at removing heavy metals naturally from the body.

HMD has undergone rigorous scientific testing. It took 3 years of clinical trials costing over $1 million to identify the unique HMD formula, shown to detox heavy metals naturally from the body. Thousands of people are enjoying the benefit of Dr. Georgiou’s Heavy Metal Detox protocol every day; we hope you will become one of them! Heavy metal detox at its best as it has been scientifically proven to work effectively!

What is Dr. Georgiou’s Heavy Metal Detox Protocol

This protocol is very simple to use as it consists of 3 separate ingredients as follows – it is sold as the HMD ULTIMATE DETOX PACK:

  1. HMD – this is the main intracellular heavy metal detox chelator that “pulls” metals from inside the cell to the outer mesenchyme. This is a critical part of Dr. Georgiou’s Heavy Metal Detox protocol and it cannot work without the HMD.
  2. HMD ORGANIC CHLORELLA – this is a toxic-free chlorella harvested from the pristine mountain lakes of Taiwan. It helps to “grab” the heavy metals outside the cell and eliminates them from the body.
  3. HMD LAVAGE – this is a “drainage” herbal remedy that helps to open up the elimination channels of the body by helping to upregulate the detoxification pathways of the liver, kidneys and lymphatics, while cleaning the blood.

It is really quite simple to take – here are the adult dosages:

HMD – 45 drops x 3 times daily – add to a little water and drink away from meals

HMD LAVAGE – take 25 drops x 3 times daily – can mix in the same glass as the HMD

HMD ORGANIC CHLORELLA – take 2 caps x 2 times daily, morning and evening, with meals

What are the ingredients of this protocol?

The best way of understanding the ingredients, is to break down the ingredients for each product. Let us begin with the main product HMD:

1. HMD

During the development research on HMD, we tested the 3 ingredients that it contains individually and found that they did not work on their own.

However, when they are all put together in a special ratio, there was a synergy that created a natural toxic metal detox supplement that is now known as HMD.

The research cost $1 million and 3 years of extensive testing to find the unique HMD formula for eliminating heavy metals naturally from the body.

HMD is a truly natural toxic metal detox supplement: It is a synergistic blend of herbal ingredients such as Chlorella Growth Factor, Coriandrum satvium (Coriander) and a homaccord of Chlorella pyrenoidosa.

Details of HMD ingredients:

a)    Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF):

Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF) is a steam distillation extract of chlorella pyrenoidosa. Chlorella Pyrenoidosa is a species of freshwater green algae. Chlorella has many health benefits and helps the body to detoxify. In animal studies, it has been shown to remove some toxic metals from the mesenchyme.

b)    Coriandrum Sativum (Cilantro):

Cilantro or Coriandrum sativum is a herb commonly known as coriander. Our Cilantro is a natural tincture made from coriander leaves. It is a vegetable glycerin extract. While cilantro tincture used by itself can actually cause the body to hold on to metals rather than eliminate them, when used in our special synergistic mixture, it has the opposite effect.

c)    Homaccord of Chlorella pyrenoidosa:

A homaccord of Chlorella Pyrenoidosa, freshwater blue-green algae.

See Dosage Guidelines 

The total ingredients include:

  • Chlorella Growth Factor
  • Coriandrum sativum
  • Chlorella pyrenoidosa homeoccord
  • Deionised water
  • Vegetable glycerin (no alcohol)

2. HMD ORGANIC CHLORELLA

HMD™ ORGANIC CHLORELLA (Chlorella pyrenoidosa)  is a microscopic, single-celled plant that grows in fresh water and is about the same size as a human blood cell. It multiplies quickly, with a complete reproductive cycle every 20 hours.

Chlorella is a green alga, drawing its colour from an unusually high amount of chlorophyll (more than any other known plant).

Scientists in the 1960’s realised that it was literally impossible for humans to digest chlorella in its natural state due to its tough cell walls that encapsulate its beneficial nutrients.  The cells in HMD ORGANIC CHLORELLA are therefore cracked to open up the cell and make it digestible (cell decimated).

Chlorella contains an amazing amount of essential nutrients: vitamins, macrominerals, trace minerals, essential fatty acids such as GLA, complete proteins, nucleic acids (RNA and DNA), chlorophyll and a vast spectrum of phytochemicals. Actually, scientists have not yet even named all the nutrients found in Chlorella.

Historically, Chlorella was discovered  in 1890 by the Dutch microbiologist, Dr. Beijerinck – he observed the cells under his microscope.

However, chlorella has has been around for aeons –  for billions of years since the beginning of planet Earth.

There are over 20 species of chlorella including C. vulgaris, C. ellipsoidea, C. saccharophila, C. pyrenoidosa and C. regularis.

Heavy Metals Detox

Chlorella is well known for its ability to “detox.”

Animal studies indicate that it’s effective at helping remove toxic or heavy metals and other harmful compounds from the body (91011).

In animals, algae, including chlorella, has been found to weaken the heavy metal toxicity of the liver, brain and kidneys (12).

Furthermore, chlorella has been shown to help lower the amount of other harmful chemicals that are sometimes found in food.

One of these is dioxin, a hormone disruptor that can contaminate animals in the food supply (1415).

HMD™ ORGANIC CHLORELLA is part of Dr. Georgiou’s Heavy Metal Detox protocol.

3. HMD LAVAGE

To further support and enhance the body cleansing process we have also developed the special drainage remedy called HMD LAVAGE.

HMD LAVAGE INGREDIENTS:

HMD LAVAGE has been specially formulated to support the HMD detoxification program. It is a unique, herbal formula that helps to facilitate the drainage of harmful toxins from the body. The word “Lavage” derives from the French for “drainage.” It is taken as a vegetable glycerine tincture that has a very pleasant taste and texture and is liked by all.

Total ingredients include:

  • Dandelion root (Taraxacum officinale)
  • Milk Thistle Seed (Silybum marianum)
  • Burdock root (Actium lappa)
  • Red Clover Tops (Trifolium pratense)
  • Turmeric root (Curcuma longa)
  • Hydrangea root (Hydrangea arboresens)
  • Uva ursi leaf (Actostaphylos uva ursi).

Other ingredients include: Deionized water, vegetable glycerin (no alcohol)

See Dosage Guidelines 

All of these 3 products are part of Dr. Georgiou’s Heavy Metal Detox Protocol.
