In my practice I’ve noticed that clients who have chronic subclinical viral and bacterial infections accumulate and retain heavy metals in their bodies. It’s interesting to note that chronic infectants bind to toxic metals so effectively that no chelating agent is able to remove them. After these infections are eliminated using my Allergy Relief System clients experience a release of the stored metals from their body. Bacteria infections tend to bind with aluminum while viruses tend to bind with the other heavy metals.

At this point the body is able to detoxify these metals and we use chelating agents such Total Mercury, Total Aluminum or Total Lead to accomplish this task. [Dr. Ted: Keep in mind that most people will need to use two bottles to detoxify their metal load.]

What are some of the causes of a chronic infection and its associated metal retention?
When it comes to bacteria we may have been exposed to streptococci while in the womb. We may have been given antibiotics which decreases normal gut flora, alters stomach acid and causes and acidic pH. Our gall bladder may not be producing enough bile. Both genetics and blood type play a role here. Most importantly methylation cycle mutations occur that decrease T cell and B cell immune responses, stifle DNA cellular repair, leading to issues in recognition of self vs no self. The last one is the means by which the bacteria becomes chronic as the body sees it as normal and allows it to stay where it doesn’t belong.

In the case of viruses metal retention occurs due to decreases T cell response from methylation mutation, impaired DNA syntheses, impaired B cell response due to lack of T helper cells, and T regulatory cells. There is an increase in IDO that masks the virus from being distinguished as non-self. Interferon gamma increases both intestinal and blood-brain permeability. This leads to an increase in the viral load one that the body actually doesn’t respond to at all.

Next the bacteria and/or virus form a partnership with heavy metals as well as one with yeast, fungi and mold. Thus we have the entities yeast-bacteria and yeast-virus that must also be cleared for.

Recently I discovered that herpes, measles and streptococci each gain entry into our cells using the same receptor – CD46 a membrane cofactor protein You can use my Allergy Relief System to turn this co-factor off and protect yourself against these microbes.

The roll of microbes in the condition known as Leaky Gut

Most clients who are experiencing the ravages of fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, multiple chemical sensitivities, diabetes, lupus and other autoimmune diseases are found to have both dysbiosis and leaky gut.

What happens is the combination of yeast-bacteria, yeast-virus, Candida infestation and heavy metal toxicity alter the stomach and intestinal track to such a degree that it can no longer function properly. It becomes highly reactive to gluten in grains or corn as well as to caseins found in dairy products. This is the reason that I do Allergy Relief Treatments on most clients for wheat/grains/gluten and diary/casein. After the treatments I have my clients use the nutritional enhancer Total Leaky Gut to restore normal gut permeability. This is followed by Exspore to get rid of the yeast and finally Total Probiotics is recommended on an ongoing basis.
