Removing Toxins From Your Body
Recently, scientists have detected up to 300 toxic chemicals in the average adult person’s blood or fat tissue. Studies of newborns have found the presence of an average of 200 industrial chemicals in their tissues at any time. Most of the chemicals are found in products that we all use every day, like household cleaning fluids and sprays, tin can linings, plastic water bottles, perfumes and cosmetics and even baby bottles. Others sources included pesticides used on your foods, in your yard, and in your home, as well as banned pesticides like DDT that have lingered in the environment for decades. Some pesticides are shipped overseas where they are usedon foods that are imported back into the USA to be served to you and me!
Exposures through your current and past jobs, as well as past and present hobbies, can pose additional threats. These toxins can and do disrupt your endocrine (hormone) system and organ function. This can be the underlying cause of disease. Clearly our water , air and soil have all been documented to carry toxins. These “invisible invaders” are likely responsible for a whole array of physical symptoms.
Each and every person needs to take action by removing toxins as part of their health plan. If you just put good things into your body (like nutrition or herbs) without removing the toxins that are causing imbalances, you are missing half of an effective plan.
You first need a comprehensive evaluation/consultation with Dr. Holyk to determine your individual needs. Specialized testing may be advised to give you a clearer picture of your current status. This will also save you time and money in the long run. Once you know your status, you may be given a program to support your organs and glands before starting any detoxification program. Detosification can be strenuous to the body, so support in advance is often necessary, or at least helpful.
The support will continue during your program. Some of the methods suggested at Contemporary Health Innovations, Inc. may be in-office procedures, and some will be things you will be able to do at home. It will be a great learning and empowering experience for you.

EDTA Chelation
Chelation (pronounced key-lay-shun) is a non-surgical treatment for removing heavy metals, such as lead, arsenic, aluminum, mercury, and cadmium from the body. These toxins contribute to the aging process in our bodies, contribute to brain and nervous system dysfunction, heart, liver and kidnwy dysfunction, and even interfere with basic hormone dysfunction! In short, it makes the body “not work correctly”!
The therapy (most effectively) consists of a series of intravenous administrations of EDTA. However, alternative routes of administration which are less potent have been developed and are commonly used. These can include pills (least effective) and rectal suppositories.
Nearly all men and women over the age of forty suffer to some degree from the effects of hardening of the arteries. Actually, a 30% narrowing of the arteries is considered by many to be “normal” at the age of forty-five. However, studies have shown that many heart attacks occur in arteries that are only 20% blocked. Chelation may be of help on overcoming the debilitating effects of some of the symptoms associated with circulatory problems. Diabetics, smokers, patients with heart disease or strokes are some of the poeple who have been helped by chelation therapy.
Even though the exact mechanism of action is not totally clear (as is true of most prescription medicines as well) the benefits are clearly seen in the many thousands of patients who have undergone the therapy over the past 60+ years.

DMPS
The growing concern about heavy metal poisoning leads many people to search for ways to rid their bodies of toxic metals like lead, cadmium, arsenic, and especially mercury. Chelation therapies are methods of mobilizing and eliminating toxic metals that attach to body tissues. The chelating agent attaches to the toxin, and the complex of chelator-toxin is ferried out of the body primarily by the kidney and the liver. In terms of heavy metal detoxification, a chelator pulls metals that have previously attached themselves to bodily tissues, mobilizing them so that the body can eliminate them naturally.
DMPS chelation therapy is typically given either orally (pills) or as an IV “push” (usually over 5 – 15- minutes). Again, the IV route appears to be much more effective. In the US, this process must be performed under the supervision of a medical doctor who is specifically licensed to prescribe and use DMPS.

Phosphatidyl Choline
The cell membrane of each and every cell in the body is made up of phospholipids. Over 50% of every cell membrane is Phosphatidul choline! infusing large amounts of it into the body allows the cells to repair damaged cell membranes. effectively it is like decreasing age-related damage to the cells ,and rejuventating the body at the cellular level!
Among other things, this allows Phosphatidyl Choline to reduce plaque depositions in the arterial walls. It allows the cells to purge out heavy metals. It also lowers cholesterol and homocysteine levels. Studies in lab animals have shown that it can increase their life span by up to 36%.
At least one researcher has witnessed herself (and reported to me in private communication) the decrease of symptoms and the marked improvement of Alzheimer’s Disease and Parkinson’s Disease!
An important therapeutic applications of the Phosphatidyl Choline treatment program is increasing, one area of intense interest ia an individual’s ability to withstand cardiac stress. This application is valuable for the individuals who have suffered cardiac trauma, such as myocardial infarction or who are at high risk of heart trauma.

Oral Chelation
EDTA is the primary component used in a process called Chelation. EDTA Chelation Therapy has been in practice for over 60 years and has been proven to eliminate heavy metals (lead, mercury, iron, etc.) from the body. The issue with heavy metals is that they accumulate causing many health problems that can impact literally every major organ in your body.
In addition to eliminating heavy metals, EDTA Chelation has also been shown to remove mineral deposits, particularly calcium. Over time when these calcium deposits remain in the body, they build up and harden, resulting in decreased circulation. Blood supplies nutrients and oxygen to all critical body areas (organs, nerves, muscles and tissues), so there is no doubt how important it is to have proper blood flow.
While orall chelation has been shown to be far less potent than the IV route, the convenience of in-home use coupled with the decreased cost of travel to and from doctor’s office and office visit costs makes this a widely accepted option of therapy.
