Detailed Description
PCA-Rx Overview:
PCA-Rx is Maxam’s living breakthrough solution to toxicity in the
body. Without knowing it, people go through life involuntarily
collecting a variety of toxins, metals, and other contaminants in
their bodies. Everyday circumstances like the air we breathe, the
food we eat, disease vaccinations, prescription drugs, and even
the place each of us calls home all contribute to the degree of
toxic exposure we can experience and eventually suffer from.
Some of the harmful contaminants that can silently accumulate in
the body include heavy metals (such as lead, mercury, and
aluminum), toxic chemicals, inoculation residues, plaque,
pesticide remnants, and many others – all of which collect in the
cells of the blood, lymphatic fluid, and cerebral spinal fluid. PCA-
Rx effectively, naturally, and gently removes all of these
contaminants and any others that are not a natural part of those
three primary bodily pathways.
The result of years of rigorous research and development, PCA-
Rx is a living bacterial organism in a bottle – a powerful yet safe
alternative to traditional chelation therapy that utilizes the unique
concept of clathration to cleanse the body of this unwanted and
often-dangerous toxicity. While chelation is usually achieved with
drugs and chemicals, PCA-Rx is a living formula actually made up
of helpful bacteria and other microbes that – when used –
become a natural, living part of the body’s immune system. PCA-
Rx is the most effective nutritional support product available for
physiological toxin removal and cleansing.
PCA-Rx has also been found to have a miraculously positive
effect on the symptoms environmental illnesses and other
conditions where toxic exposure is suspected.

WHAT IS MERCURY?
Mercury, also called quicksilver, is a chemical element in the periodic
table that has the symbol Hg (from the Latin hydrargyrum) and atomic
number 80. A heavy, silvery, transition metal, mercury is one of only two
elements that are liquid at room temperature (the other is bromine).
Mercury is used in thermometers, barometers and other scientific
apparatuses. Mercury is mostly obtained by reduction from the mineral
cinnabar.
HOW DOES MERCURY OCCUR IN THE ENVIRONMENT?
Mercury is a naturally occurring element that can be found throughout
the environment. Human activities such as burning coal and using
mercury to manufacture certain products, have increased the amount of
mercury that is currently cycling in the atmosphere, in soils, and in lakes,
streams and the oceans.
WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST SOURCES OF MERCURY AIR EMISSIONS?
According to EPA's 1999 National Emissions Inventory, coal-fired
electric power plants are the largest source of human-caused mercury
air emissions in the U.S. These power plants account for about 40% of
total U.S. manmade mercury emissions. Other large sources are
industrial boilers (about 10% of U.S. mercury emissions), burning
hazardous waste (about 5%), and chlorine production (also about 5%).
Burning municipal waste and medical waste was once a large source of
emissions but today, in response to EPA and State regulations and
reductions in mercury use, these sources are much less important.
Municipal waste combustors (MWCs) and medical waste incinerators
(MWIs) were major sources of mercury air emissions in 1990, but
implementation of EPA’s maximum achievable control technology
(MACT) standards has reduced emissions from each of these source
categories to less than 5 percent of U.S. mercury emissions.
The EPA researchers apparently were unaware of another pollution
source: dental mercury. Each year in the U.S. an estimated 40 tons of
mercury are used to prepare mercury-amalgam dental restorations.
Scientific studies have concluded that the amalgam is the source for
more than two thirds of the mercury in our human population. Each
amalgam, which is commonly called a "silver filling" by its installers,
daily releases on the order of 10 micrograms of mercury into the body.
This mercury either accumulates in the body or gets excreted via urine
and feces into our wastewater systems. After a person dies, the mercury
that has accumulated in the body is released to the environment via
either cremation or burial.
Another source of mercury pollution is dental office disposal. Most
dental offices without a metal separator dispose of their waste mercury
into municipal wastewater systems. Municipal treatment plant
processing separates wastewater into water and sludge. Mercury does
not disappear during this processing. Both treated water that is
discharged into waterways and sludge that is land-farmed contain
mercury. Mercury is also contained in air discharged from dental offices
into the atmosphere. The wastewater, sludge and dental office air are
another source of mercury pollution.
HOW DO PEOPLE AND WILDLIFE BECOME EXPOSED TO MERCURY?
Mercury that is emitted to the air falls to the ground either very close to
the source or many miles away. When mercury is deposited into the
water, or runs off the ground into the water, microorganisms convert
some portion to methyl mercury, a highly toxic form of mercury. Small
organisms take this up as they feed. As animals higher up the food
chain eat those small organisms, they also take in methyl mercury. The
process, known as bioaccumulation, continues with levels of mercury
increasing as it moves up the food chain. Fish that are higher in the food
chain, such as sharks and swordfish, have much higher mercury
concentration than fish that are lower on the food chain. Humans
become exposed when they eat fish that are contaminated with mercury.
THE SYMPTOMS OF MERCURY POISONING
In general, people who suffer from mercury poisoning may have an
undiagnosed condition such as chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, nervous
disorders, neurological or psychological disturbances, or just a general
feeling of malaise.
Malaise (mă-lāz') pronunciation
1. A vague feeling of bodily discomfort, as at the beginning of an illness.
2. A general sense of depression or unease:
Here is a list of the Symptoms of Mercury Poisoning according to the
Environmental Protection Agency
• Impairment of the peripheral vision
• Disturbances in sensations ("pins and needles" feelings,
numbness) usually in the hands feet and sometimes around the mouth
• Lack of coordination of movements, such as writing

AUTISM & MERCURY POISONING
Autism is a syndrome characterized by impairments in social
relatedness, language and communication, a need for routine and
sameness, abnormal movements, and sensory dysfunction. Mercury
(Hg) is a toxic metal that can exist as a pure element or in a variety of
inorganic and organic forms and can cause immune, sensory,
neurological, motor, and behavioral dysfunctions similar to traits
defining or associated with autism. Thimerosal, a preservative
frequently added to childhood vaccines, has become a major source of
Hg in human infants and toddlers. According to the FDA and the
American Academy of Pediatricians, fully vaccinated children now
receive, within their first two years, Hg levels that exceed safety limits
established by the FDA and other supervisory agencies. A thorough
review of medical literature and U.S. government data indicates (i) that
many and perhaps most cases of idiopathic autism, in which an
extended period of developmental normalcy is followed by an
emergence of symptoms, are induced by early exposure to Hg; (ii) that
this type of autism represents a unique form of Hg poisoning (HgP); (iii)
that excessive Hg exposure from thimerosal in vaccine injections is an
etiological mechanism for causing the traits of autism; (iv) that certain
genetic and non-genetic factors establish a predisposition whereby
thimerosal's adverse effects occur only in some children; and (v) that
vaccinal Hg in thimerosal is causing a heretofore unrecognized
mercurial syndrome.
SYNOPSIS
A review of medical literature indicates that the characteristics of autism
and of mercury poisoning (HgP) are strikingly similar. Traits defining or
associated with both disorders are summarized in Table A immediately
following the Table of Contents and are discussed and cited in the body
of this document. The parallels between the two diseases are so
thorough as to suggest, based on total Hg injected into U.S. children,
that many cases of autism are a form of mercury poisoning.
For these children, the exposure route is childhood vaccines, most of
which contain thimerosal, a preservative which is 49.6% ethylmercury by
weight. The amount of mercury a typical child under two years receives
from vaccinations equates to 237.5 micrograms, or 3.53 x 1017
molecules (353,000,000,000,000,000 molecules). Most such vaccinal
Hg may not be excreted and instead migrates to the brain.
The total amount injected into infants and toddlers (i) is known to exceed
Federal safety standards, (ii) is officially considered to be a “low” level;
whereby (iii) only a small percentage of exposed individuals exhibit
symptoms of toxicity. In fact, children who develop Hg-related autism are
likely to have had a predisposition derived from genetic and non-genetic
factors.
Importantly, the timings of vaccinal Hg-exposure and its latency period
coincide with the emergence of autistic-symptoms in specific children.
Moreover, excessive mercury has been detected in urine, hair, and blood
samples from autistic children; and parental reports, though limited at
this date, indicate significant improvement in symptoms subsequent to
heavy-metal chelation therapy.
The HgP phenotype is diverse and depends upon a number of factors -
including type of Hg, route of entry into the body, rate and level of dose,
individual genotype, and the age and immune status of the patient.
Historically, variation among these factors has caused slightly different
manifestations of mercurialism; Mad Hatter’s disease, Minamata
disease, acrodynia, and industrial exposures provide examples.
The pathology arising from the mercury-related variables involved in
autism - intermittent bolus doses of ethylmercury injected into
susceptible infants and toddlers - is heretofore undescribed in medical
literature. Therefore, in accord with existing HgP data and HgP’s ability
to induce virtually all the traits defining or associated with autism
spectrum disorders, we hypothesize that many and perhaps most
cases of autism represent a unique form of mercury poisoning.
This conclusion and its supporting data have important implications for
the affected population of autistic individuals and their families, for other
unexplained disorders with symptoms similar to those of heavy metal
intoxication, for vaccine content, and for childhood vaccination programs.
Due to its high potential for neurotoxicity, thimerosal should be removed
immediately from all vaccine products designated for infants and
toddlers.
PCA-Rx: Help for Autistic Children
Nontoxic Oral Clathration Agent Shown to Perform Better than or Equal
to DMSA and DMPS
Parents of autistic children who suspect heavy metal toxicity as a
contributor to their child’s condition may find a nontoxic oral clathration
agent will perform as well as or better than typically-used chelating
agents, according to a report in the nationally-respected consumer
journal, The Doctors’ Prescription for Healthy Living.
The report – published in the February edition – details the experience of
a Troy, Michigan, couple whose child was diagnosed with autism that
may have resulted from or been exacerbated by such toxicity. The couple
notes that the oral clathration agent proved to be as effective as their son’
s DMSA/DMPS treatments, yet without side effects.
Autistic children may be prescribed dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) or
dimercaptopropane sulfonate (DMPS) if heavy metal toxicity is
suspected. However, a combination of the oral clathration agent and
ionic mineral supplements increased their child’s heavy metal output by
two to three times (as measured by urinalysis). The couple is quoted as
telling the publication, “In two months, we had the same benefits with
PCA-Rx and ionic minerals as using DMSA for an entire year. Also,
unlike DMSA, PCA-Rx will not chelate beneficial minerals, one reason it
is less stressful to the child’s body.”
“This information is important to parents of autistic children,” notes
publisher and editor David Steinman. “Many of the treatments afforded to
children have some toxicity associated with them and stress the child.
Based on our current report and past reports, we believe that oral
clathration is certainly an option that parents should know about.”
Steinman notes that while conventional oral chelation therapy may be
described as one dimensional, oral clathration is a three-dimensional
process. In this case, specifically-sequenced glycoproteins and
peptides form a lattice (or inclusion complex) and multiple receptor sites
that attach to a toxic molecule with irreversible bonds, literally wrapping
around the toxic substance to prevent additional reactions with tissues
or organs as it is eliminated from the body.
Unlike the ionic bond utilized to transport metals from the body with
chelation, clathration utilizes ionic, covalent and hydrogen bonds. Not
one but three major types of bonds at multiple points are created.
“The product that we mentioned – PCA-Rx – has a very high bonding
affinity for heavy metals,” notes Steinman. “Most toxins or heavy metals
that attach to cell receptors do so in a manner that is competitively
reversible, so if molecules like those in PCA-Rx come along with greater
affinity, the toxins can be dislodged from the receptors. Because of the
formula’s tremendous affinity for heavy metals, this is an improvement
over chelation therapy, which has a much more difficult time removing
heavy metals from cell receptors.”
“We want parents of autistic children and groups dedicated to helping
such children and adults to know about oral clathration because it is a
viable and important option,” adds Steinman.
He adds, “Few proven treatments are available to autistic children. What
we do know is that heavy metal toxicity may sometimes be part of the
pathology. Testing for heavy metal burden is essential. PCA-Rx has
been successfully used with autistic children to safely accelerate
detoxification. While additional clinical studies are desired, we know that
PCA-Rx is safe and efficacious. It is an important healing pathway that
parents of autistic children should know about.”

PCA-Rx and Autism: A World of Smarter Children
Heavy Metal Toxicity, Children’s Behavioral Disorders, and Oral
Clathration Therapy
The Most Profound Science of Our Time
We all have heard about chelation therapy. But few health professionals
know about clathration therapy. Because clathration therapy has many
documented benefits over chelation therapy, it is important that cutting
edge health professionals as well as consumers involved in self-
managed care learn about this unique therapy. In this report, we present
an overview of clathration therapy and discuss its use for children
experiencing behavioral disorders – including attention
deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bouts of violence, and impaired IQ.
Clathration Therapy vs. Chelation
Editor’s Note: A chelate is a chemical that will perform chelation, defined
as the reaction between a metal ion and the complexing agent, resulting
in formation of ring structures incorporating the ion. A clathrate is a cage
structure capable of including another compound within its own
structure.
Chelation therapy may be described as a one-dimensional process. In
contrast, oral clathration is a three-dimensional process. Specifically-
sequenced glycoproteins and peptides form a lattice or inclusion
complex and multiple receptor sites attach to a toxic molecule with
irreversible bonds, literally wrapping around the toxic substance to
prevent additional reactions with tissues or organs as it is eliminated
from the body. Unlike the ionic bond utilized to transport metals from the
body with chelation therapy, oral clathration therapy utilizes ionic,
covalent and hydrogen bonds. Not one but three major types of bonds at
multiple points are created.
Clinical reports indicate clathration therapy might be a more effective
heavy metal detoxification therapy than conventional methods of
chelation therapy. Thus, clathration therapy holds significant benefits
when used as part of a comprehensive complementary medicine
program, as noted in the case of children experiencing certain
behavioral disorders.
David Steinman’s use of PCA-Rx from ASN™/Maxam™ Nutraceutics™
produced better detoxification results than dimercaptosuccinic acid
(DMSA) or dimercaptopropane sulfonate (DMPS) for Aaron Corbett.
Diagnosed with heavy metal poisoning by his physician, Aaron's parents
Brian and Joan suspect their son developed autism as a result of
vaccination-related heavy metal contamination. In a recent report
published in The Doctors' Prescription for Healthy Living, it was noted
that many children experiencing behavioral problems (including
attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, violent and antisocial behavior,
and decreased IQ) have received benefits from PCA-Rx when used as
part of a comprehensive complementary medicine program.
Heavy Metal Toxicity: Hidden Culprit?
Heavy metal toxicity doesn’t receive the attention it should in the case of
children’s behavioral disorders. Additionally, use of oral clathration
agents as a healing pathway is something both primary care doctors
and parents of children with behavioral disorders need to know about.
Use of oral clathration obviously isn’t a panacea. But, as you read this
report, if you are the parent of a child with behavioral problems or the
child’s treating doctor, you will want to know more about oral clathration
if you suspect toxic metals may be a contributor.
What is the role of heavy metal toxicity in children with developmental
delays and other neurological and metabolic disorders? The answer
may be surprising to many parents. In fact, the extent of impact on
children with some of our commonest neurological disorders –
including autism, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and aggressive
and violent behavior – may be far greater than parents and doctors have
hitherto suspected. Let’s look at some of the evidence:
• In 1983, a study published in Medical Hypotheses noted that the
concentration of a number of metals determined in the hair of 68
hyperactive children, when compared with a control group, indicated
excessive levels of manganese and reduced levels of zinc.
• In 1989, researchers involved with the Edinburgh Lead Study
studied the effect of blood lead on children’s behavior in a sample of
501 boys and girls aged six to nine years from 18 primary schools.
Teachers and parents using behavior scales made behavior ratings of
the children. Analyses showed a significant relationship between blood
lead levels and teachers’ ratings on the total behavioral scores, as well
as aggressive/antisocial and hyperactive scores. A dose-response
relationship between blood lead levels and behavior ratings was
evident. No evidence of a threshold effect could be found. In other words,
even low levels adversely influenced behavior.
• In a 1996 study from the Archives of Environmental Health, the
relationship between hair lead levels of children and their attention-
deficit behaviors in the classroom was investigated. Scalp hair
specimens were obtained from 277 first-grade pupils, while teachers
completed the abbreviated Boston Teacher’s Rating Scale for rating
classroom attention-deficit behavior and parents completed a short
questionnaire. “The striking dose response relationship between levels
of lead and negative teacher ratings remained significant after
controlling for age, ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic status,” the
report noted. “An even stronger relationship existed between physician-
diagnosed attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and hair lead in the
same children.” Once again, “no apparent ‘safe’ threshold for lead”
could be found with even the lowest exposures.
Chelation/Clathration Aid Children with Behavioral Disorders
Holly Ruff, M.D., is a developmental psychologist and professor of
pediatrics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, New
York. In the April 7, 1993 issue of the Journal of the American Medical
Association, Dr. Ruff published a study that reported on the reversal of
intelligence decline among children with high lead levels when steps
are taken to reduce their body burden. Among one subgroup of the 154
children she studied, a drop of up to 30 micrograms in blood lead levels
led to a 10-point increase in intelligence scores.
In another study, children with clear-cut hyperactivity disorder and
moderately-elevated lead levels were treated with a lead-chelating agent
in a random allocation double-blind treatment regimen. “Statistically
significant and obvious behavioral improvement was reported by three
separate evaluators (i.e., parent, teacher, and treating physician) of the
child, suggesting a toxic relationship between moderately-elevated lead
levels and hyperactivity,” note the researchers.
Agents frequently used for heavy metal chelation include ethylene
diaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), DMSA, d-penicillamine, and
dimercaptoproponol. These are often given in oral doses, alone or in
combination. But a superior long-term strategy may be to combine
chelation with oral clathration therapy. The best such examples of oral
clathration agents are PCA and PCA-Rx from ASN™/Maxam™
Nutraceutics™. PCA-Rx is said to have a high bonding affinity for heavy
metals. (See clinical case reports.) Most toxins or heavy metals that
attach to cell receptors do so in a manner that is competitively
reversible, so if molecules like those in PCA-Rx come along with greater
affinity, the toxins can be dislodged from the receptors, which then once
again can be receptive to neurotransmitters.
FYI: How Metals Are Clathrated Metals are clathrated by PCA-Rx in the
following order due to their descending valences: lead, thallium,
cadmium, arsenic, aluminum, and mercury. This is important to note
because if patients’ systems are saturated with lead or another heavy
metal, their urine mercury readings will not drop until they have
clathrated the metals with higher valences.
Because of the formula’s tremendous affinity for heavy metals, this is an
improvement over chelation therapy, which has a much more difficult
time removing heavy metals from cell receptors. In February, we detailed
the experience of a Troy, Michigan, couple whose child was diagnosed
with autism that may have resulted from or been exacerbated by such
toxicity. The couple notes that the oral clathration agent, combined with
ionic minerals, proved to be equally or more effective as their son’s
DMSA/DMPS treatments yet without side effects. A combination of the
oral clathration agent and ionic mineral supplements increased their
child’s heavy metal output by two to three times (as measured by
urinalysis) over chelation therapy. The couple is quoted as telling the
publication, “In two months, we had the same benefits with PCA-Rx and
ionic minerals as using DMSA for an entire year. Also, unlike DMSA,
PCA-Rx will not chelate beneficial minerals, one reason it is less
stressful to the child’s body.”
QUICK DEFINITION
Clathrate: Relating to or being a compound formed by the inclusion of
molecules of one kind in cavities of the crystal lattice of another.
How PCA-Rx Works: PCA-Rx is different from other chelating agents,
and we believe it represents a major breakthrough in personal
detoxification.
Utilizes Clathration.
PCA-Rx works on the principle of clathration. Its contingent of specifically
sequenced peptides form a lattice or inclusion complex. This
represents a true breakthrough in the field of oral chelating agents.
Detoxification with a Peptide Clathrating Agent.
Most of us have heard of chelation therapy. Physicians and doctors have
utilized chelation therapy for years to cleanse their patients’ bodies of
lead and other heavy metal contaminants. PCA-Rx from ASN™/Maxam™
Nutraceutics™ is the first peptide clathration formula ever created for
natural detoxification. Not only is it among the most effective chelating
agents now in practice; it is available to consumers over-the-counter at
natural health centers and from health professionals.
Nutrient Particles Measured in Nanometers. We usually think of the
amounts included of particular nutritional supplements in terms of
milligrams and micrograms. But PCA-Rx nutrient particles are
formulated in the range of nanometers – reduced to their bare peptide
essential configuration – and placed in a natural colloid. The body
recognizes these peptides as nutrients.
Affinity for Cell Membranes. Each nutrient particle carries a negative
surface charge and cells contain a positive surface charge, so
absorption occurs electrokinetically, which is a much more efficient
method of absorption than osmosis where 50 percent maximum levels
may be achieved at best. Because of the particle size and bare, stripped-
down nature of the peptides, the PCA-Rx nutrients gain access into the
mitochondria of the cell. There, a peptide ligand complex binds with
greater affinity to cell receptor sizes than heavy metals, releasing the
heavy metals. The companion molecules then clathrate (wrap around
and enclose) the toxic substance, keeping it enclosed as it enters the
body’s elimination pathways. The bond is a strong one, too. PCA-Rx’s
nutrients bond to toxic chemicals with ionic, covalent and hydrogen
bonds as compared to DMPS (the most commonly-used chelation
agent), which utilizes only an ionic bond.
Does Not Remove Beneficial Minerals. PCA-Rx will not bind to beneficial
minerals because those that belong in the body are tightly bound and
protected by their natural enzymes. Heavy metals and toxins do not have
enzyme systems to protect them. PCA-Rx targets noncomplexed,
loosely-bound metals. If there is an excess of natural mineral in the
body (as with calcium-based plaques), PCA-Rx will also bind to these
and remove them. Metals are clathrated in the following prioritized order
due to their descending valences: lead, thallium, cadmium, arsenic,
aluminum, and mercury. This is important to note because if your
system is saturated with lead or another heavy metal, your urine mercury
readings will not drop until you have clathrated the metals with higher
valences.

Mercury, also called quicksilver, is a chemical element in the periodic
table that has the symbol Hg (from the Latin hydrargyrum) and atomic
number 80. A heavy, silvery, transition metal, mercury is one of only two
elements that are liquid at room temperature (the other is bromine).
Mercury is used in thermometers, barometers and other scientific
apparatuses. Mercury is mostly obtained by reduction from the mineral
cinnabar.
HOW DOES MERCURY OCCUR IN THE ENVIRONMENT?
Mercury is a naturally occurring element that can be found throughout
the environment. Human activities such as burning coal and using
mercury to manufacture certain products, have increased the amount of
mercury that is currently cycling in the atmosphere, in soils, and in lakes,
streams and the oceans.
WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST SOURCES OF MERCURY AIR EMISSIONS?
According to EPA's 1999 National Emissions Inventory, coal-fired
electric power plants are the largest source of human-caused mercury
air emissions in the U.S. These power plants account for about 40% of
total U.S. manmade mercury emissions. Other large sources are
industrial boilers (about 10% of U.S. mercury emissions), burning
hazardous waste (about 5%), and chlorine production (also about 5%).
Burning municipal waste and medical waste was once a large source of
emissions but today, in response to EPA and State regulations and
reductions in mercury use, these sources are much less important.
Municipal waste combustors (MWCs) and medical waste incinerators
(MWIs) were major sources of mercury air emissions in 1990, but
implementation of EPA’s maximum achievable control technology
(MACT) standards has reduced emissions from each of these source
categories to less than 5 percent of U.S. mercury emissions.
The EPA researchers apparently were unaware of another pollution
source: dental mercury. Each year in the U.S. an estimated 40 tons of
mercury are used to prepare mercury-amalgam dental restorations.
Scientific studies have concluded that the amalgam is the source for
more than two thirds of the mercury in our human population. Each
amalgam, which is commonly called a "silver filling" by its installers,
daily releases on the order of 10 micrograms of mercury into the body.
This mercury either accumulates in the body or gets excreted via urine
and feces into our wastewater systems. After a person dies, the mercury
that has accumulated in the body is released to the environment via
either cremation or burial.
Another source of mercury pollution is dental office disposal. Most
dental offices without a metal separator dispose of their waste mercury
into municipal wastewater systems. Municipal treatment plant
processing separates wastewater into water and sludge. Mercury does
not disappear during this processing. Both treated water that is
discharged into waterways and sludge that is land-farmed contain
mercury. Mercury is also contained in air discharged from dental offices
into the atmosphere. The wastewater, sludge and dental office air are
another source of mercury pollution.
HOW DO PEOPLE AND WILDLIFE BECOME EXPOSED TO MERCURY?
Mercury that is emitted to the air falls to the ground either very close to
the source or many miles away. When mercury is deposited into the
water, or runs off the ground into the water, microorganisms convert
some portion to methyl mercury, a highly toxic form of mercury. Small
organisms take this up as they feed. As animals higher up the food
chain eat those small organisms, they also take in methyl mercury. The
process, known as bioaccumulation, continues with levels of mercury
increasing as it moves up the food chain. Fish that are higher in the food
chain, such as sharks and swordfish, have much higher mercury
concentration than fish that are lower on the food chain. Humans
become exposed when they eat fish that are contaminated with mercury.
THE SYMPTOMS OF MERCURY POISONING
In general, people who suffer from mercury poisoning may have an
undiagnosed condition such as chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, nervous
disorders, neurological or psychological disturbances, or just a general
feeling of malaise.
Malaise (mă-lāz') pronunciation
1. A vague feeling of bodily discomfort, as at the beginning of an illness.
2. A general sense of depression or unease:
Here is a list of the Symptoms of Mercury Poisoning according to the
Environmental Protection Agency

AUTISM & MERCURY POISONING
Autism is a syndrome characterized by impairments in social
relatedness, language and communication, a need for routine and
sameness, abnormal movements, and sensory dysfunction. Mercury
(Hg) is a toxic metal that can exist as a pure element or in a variety of
inorganic and organic forms and can cause immune, sensory,
neurological, motor, and behavioral dysfunctions similar to traits
defining or associated with autism. Thimerosal, a preservative
frequently added to childhood vaccines, has become a major source of
Hg in human infants and toddlers. According to the FDA and the
American Academy of Pediatricians, fully vaccinated children now
receive, within their first two years, Hg levels that exceed safety limits
established by the FDA and other supervisory agencies. A thorough
review of medical literature and U.S. government data indicates (i) that
many and perhaps most cases of idiopathic autism, in which an
extended period of developmental normalcy is followed by an
emergence of symptoms, are induced by early exposure to Hg; (ii) that
this type of autism represents a unique form of Hg poisoning (HgP); (iii)
that excessive Hg exposure from thimerosal in vaccine injections is an
etiological mechanism for causing the traits of autism; (iv) that certain
genetic and non-genetic factors establish a predisposition whereby
thimerosal's adverse effects occur only in some children; and (v) that
vaccinal Hg in thimerosal is causing a heretofore unrecognized
mercurial syndrome.
SYNOPSIS
A review of medical literature indicates that the characteristics of autism
and of mercury poisoning (HgP) are strikingly similar. Traits defining or
associated with both disorders are summarized in Table A immediately
following the Table of Contents and are discussed and cited in the body
of this document. The parallels between the two diseases are so
thorough as to suggest, based on total Hg injected into U.S. children,
that many cases of autism are a form of mercury poisoning.
For these children, the exposure route is childhood vaccines, most of
which contain thimerosal, a preservative which is 49.6% ethylmercury by
weight. The amount of mercury a typical child under two years receives
from vaccinations equates to 237.5 micrograms, or 3.53 x 1017
molecules (353,000,000,000,000,000 molecules). Most such vaccinal
Hg may not be excreted and instead migrates to the brain.
The total amount injected into infants and toddlers (i) is known to exceed
Federal safety standards, (ii) is officially considered to be a “low” level;
whereby (iii) only a small percentage of exposed individuals exhibit
symptoms of toxicity. In fact, children who develop Hg-related autism are
likely to have had a predisposition derived from genetic and non-genetic
factors.
Importantly, the timings of vaccinal Hg-exposure and its latency period
coincide with the emergence of autistic-symptoms in specific children.
Moreover, excessive mercury has been detected in urine, hair, and blood
samples from autistic children; and parental reports, though limited at
this date, indicate significant improvement in symptoms subsequent to
heavy-metal chelation therapy.
The HgP phenotype is diverse and depends upon a number of factors -
including type of Hg, route of entry into the body, rate and level of dose,
individual genotype, and the age and immune status of the patient.
Historically, variation among these factors has caused slightly different
manifestations of mercurialism; Mad Hatter’s disease, Minamata
disease, acrodynia, and industrial exposures provide examples.
The pathology arising from the mercury-related variables involved in
autism - intermittent bolus doses of ethylmercury injected into
susceptible infants and toddlers - is heretofore undescribed in medical
literature. Therefore, in accord with existing HgP data and HgP’s ability
to induce virtually all the traits defining or associated with autism
spectrum disorders, we hypothesize that many and perhaps most
cases of autism represent a unique form of mercury poisoning.
This conclusion and its supporting data have important implications for
the affected population of autistic individuals and their families, for other
unexplained disorders with symptoms similar to those of heavy metal
intoxication, for vaccine content, and for childhood vaccination programs.
Due to its high potential for neurotoxicity, thimerosal should be removed
immediately from all vaccine products designated for infants and
toddlers.
PCA-Rx: Help for Autistic Children
Nontoxic Oral Clathration Agent Shown to Perform Better than or Equal
to DMSA and DMPS
Parents of autistic children who suspect heavy metal toxicity as a
contributor to their child’s condition may find a nontoxic oral clathration
agent will perform as well as or better than typically-used chelating
agents, according to a report in the nationally-respected consumer
journal, The Doctors’ Prescription for Healthy Living.
The report – published in the February edition – details the experience of
a Troy, Michigan, couple whose child was diagnosed with autism that
may have resulted from or been exacerbated by such toxicity. The couple
notes that the oral clathration agent proved to be as effective as their son’
s DMSA/DMPS treatments, yet without side effects.
Autistic children may be prescribed dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) or
dimercaptopropane sulfonate (DMPS) if heavy metal toxicity is
suspected. However, a combination of the oral clathration agent and
ionic mineral supplements increased their child’s heavy metal output by
two to three times (as measured by urinalysis). The couple is quoted as
telling the publication, “In two months, we had the same benefits with
PCA-Rx and ionic minerals as using DMSA for an entire year. Also,
unlike DMSA, PCA-Rx will not chelate beneficial minerals, one reason it
is less stressful to the child’s body.”
“This information is important to parents of autistic children,” notes
publisher and editor David Steinman. “Many of the treatments afforded to
children have some toxicity associated with them and stress the child.
Based on our current report and past reports, we believe that oral
clathration is certainly an option that parents should know about.”
Steinman notes that while conventional oral chelation therapy may be
described as one dimensional, oral clathration is a three-dimensional
process. In this case, specifically-sequenced glycoproteins and
peptides form a lattice (or inclusion complex) and multiple receptor sites
that attach to a toxic molecule with irreversible bonds, literally wrapping
around the toxic substance to prevent additional reactions with tissues
or organs as it is eliminated from the body.
Unlike the ionic bond utilized to transport metals from the body with
chelation, clathration utilizes ionic, covalent and hydrogen bonds. Not
one but three major types of bonds at multiple points are created.
“The product that we mentioned – PCA-Rx – has a very high bonding
affinity for heavy metals,” notes Steinman. “Most toxins or heavy metals
that attach to cell receptors do so in a manner that is competitively
reversible, so if molecules like those in PCA-Rx come along with greater
affinity, the toxins can be dislodged from the receptors. Because of the
formula’s tremendous affinity for heavy metals, this is an improvement
over chelation therapy, which has a much more difficult time removing
heavy metals from cell receptors.”
“We want parents of autistic children and groups dedicated to helping
such children and adults to know about oral clathration because it is a
viable and important option,” adds Steinman.
He adds, “Few proven treatments are available to autistic children. What
we do know is that heavy metal toxicity may sometimes be part of the
pathology. Testing for heavy metal burden is essential. PCA-Rx has
been successfully used with autistic children to safely accelerate
detoxification. While additional clinical studies are desired, we know that
PCA-Rx is safe and efficacious. It is an important healing pathway that
parents of autistic children should know about.”

PCA-Rx and Autism: A World of Smarter Children
Heavy Metal Toxicity, Children’s Behavioral Disorders, and Oral
Clathration Therapy
The Most Profound Science of Our Time
We all have heard about chelation therapy. But few health professionals
know about clathration therapy. Because clathration therapy has many
documented benefits over chelation therapy, it is important that cutting
edge health professionals as well as consumers involved in self-
managed care learn about this unique therapy. In this report, we present
an overview of clathration therapy and discuss its use for children
experiencing behavioral disorders – including attention
deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bouts of violence, and impaired IQ.
Clathration Therapy vs. Chelation
Editor’s Note: A chelate is a chemical that will perform chelation, defined
as the reaction between a metal ion and the complexing agent, resulting
in formation of ring structures incorporating the ion. A clathrate is a cage
structure capable of including another compound within its own
structure.
Chelation therapy may be described as a one-dimensional process. In
contrast, oral clathration is a three-dimensional process. Specifically-
sequenced glycoproteins and peptides form a lattice or inclusion
complex and multiple receptor sites attach to a toxic molecule with
irreversible bonds, literally wrapping around the toxic substance to
prevent additional reactions with tissues or organs as it is eliminated
from the body. Unlike the ionic bond utilized to transport metals from the
body with chelation therapy, oral clathration therapy utilizes ionic,
covalent and hydrogen bonds. Not one but three major types of bonds at
multiple points are created.
Clinical reports indicate clathration therapy might be a more effective
heavy metal detoxification therapy than conventional methods of
chelation therapy. Thus, clathration therapy holds significant benefits
when used as part of a comprehensive complementary medicine
program, as noted in the case of children experiencing certain
behavioral disorders.
David Steinman’s use of PCA-Rx from ASN™/Maxam™ Nutraceutics™
produced better detoxification results than dimercaptosuccinic acid
(DMSA) or dimercaptopropane sulfonate (DMPS) for Aaron Corbett.
Diagnosed with heavy metal poisoning by his physician, Aaron's parents
Brian and Joan suspect their son developed autism as a result of
vaccination-related heavy metal contamination. In a recent report
published in The Doctors' Prescription for Healthy Living, it was noted
that many children experiencing behavioral problems (including
attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, violent and antisocial behavior,
and decreased IQ) have received benefits from PCA-Rx when used as
part of a comprehensive complementary medicine program.
Heavy Metal Toxicity: Hidden Culprit?
Heavy metal toxicity doesn’t receive the attention it should in the case of
children’s behavioral disorders. Additionally, use of oral clathration
agents as a healing pathway is something both primary care doctors
and parents of children with behavioral disorders need to know about.
Use of oral clathration obviously isn’t a panacea. But, as you read this
report, if you are the parent of a child with behavioral problems or the
child’s treating doctor, you will want to know more about oral clathration
if you suspect toxic metals may be a contributor.
What is the role of heavy metal toxicity in children with developmental
delays and other neurological and metabolic disorders? The answer
may be surprising to many parents. In fact, the extent of impact on
children with some of our commonest neurological disorders –
including autism, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and aggressive
and violent behavior – may be far greater than parents and doctors have
hitherto suspected. Let’s look at some of the evidence:
• In 1983, a study published in Medical Hypotheses noted that the
concentration of a number of metals determined in the hair of 68
hyperactive children, when compared with a control group, indicated
excessive levels of manganese and reduced levels of zinc.
• In 1989, researchers involved with the Edinburgh Lead Study
studied the effect of blood lead on children’s behavior in a sample of
501 boys and girls aged six to nine years from 18 primary schools.
Teachers and parents using behavior scales made behavior ratings of
the children. Analyses showed a significant relationship between blood
lead levels and teachers’ ratings on the total behavioral scores, as well
as aggressive/antisocial and hyperactive scores. A dose-response
relationship between blood lead levels and behavior ratings was
evident. No evidence of a threshold effect could be found. In other words,
even low levels adversely influenced behavior.
• In a 1996 study from the Archives of Environmental Health, the
relationship between hair lead levels of children and their attention-
deficit behaviors in the classroom was investigated. Scalp hair
specimens were obtained from 277 first-grade pupils, while teachers
completed the abbreviated Boston Teacher’s Rating Scale for rating
classroom attention-deficit behavior and parents completed a short
questionnaire. “The striking dose response relationship between levels
of lead and negative teacher ratings remained significant after
controlling for age, ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic status,” the
report noted. “An even stronger relationship existed between physician-
diagnosed attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and hair lead in the
same children.” Once again, “no apparent ‘safe’ threshold for lead”
could be found with even the lowest exposures.
Chelation/Clathration Aid Children with Behavioral Disorders
Holly Ruff, M.D., is a developmental psychologist and professor of
pediatrics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, New
York. In the April 7, 1993 issue of the Journal of the American Medical
Association, Dr. Ruff published a study that reported on the reversal of
intelligence decline among children with high lead levels when steps
are taken to reduce their body burden. Among one subgroup of the 154
children she studied, a drop of up to 30 micrograms in blood lead levels
led to a 10-point increase in intelligence scores.
In another study, children with clear-cut hyperactivity disorder and
moderately-elevated lead levels were treated with a lead-chelating agent
in a random allocation double-blind treatment regimen. “Statistically
significant and obvious behavioral improvement was reported by three
separate evaluators (i.e., parent, teacher, and treating physician) of the
child, suggesting a toxic relationship between moderately-elevated lead
levels and hyperactivity,” note the researchers.
Agents frequently used for heavy metal chelation include ethylene
diaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), DMSA, d-penicillamine, and
dimercaptoproponol. These are often given in oral doses, alone or in
combination. But a superior long-term strategy may be to combine
chelation with oral clathration therapy. The best such examples of oral
clathration agents are PCA and PCA-Rx from ASN™/Maxam™
Nutraceutics™. PCA-Rx is said to have a high bonding affinity for heavy
metals. (See clinical case reports.) Most toxins or heavy metals that
attach to cell receptors do so in a manner that is competitively
reversible, so if molecules like those in PCA-Rx come along with greater
affinity, the toxins can be dislodged from the receptors, which then once
again can be receptive to neurotransmitters.
FYI: How Metals Are Clathrated Metals are clathrated by PCA-Rx in the
following order due to their descending valences: lead, thallium,
cadmium, arsenic, aluminum, and mercury. This is important to note
because if patients’ systems are saturated with lead or another heavy
metal, their urine mercury readings will not drop until they have
clathrated the metals with higher valences.
Because of the formula’s tremendous affinity for heavy metals, this is an
improvement over chelation therapy, which has a much more difficult
time removing heavy metals from cell receptors. In February, we detailed
the experience of a Troy, Michigan, couple whose child was diagnosed
with autism that may have resulted from or been exacerbated by such
toxicity. The couple notes that the oral clathration agent, combined with
ionic minerals, proved to be equally or more effective as their son’s
DMSA/DMPS treatments yet without side effects. A combination of the
oral clathration agent and ionic mineral supplements increased their
child’s heavy metal output by two to three times (as measured by
urinalysis) over chelation therapy. The couple is quoted as telling the
publication, “In two months, we had the same benefits with PCA-Rx and
ionic minerals as using DMSA for an entire year. Also, unlike DMSA,
PCA-Rx will not chelate beneficial minerals, one reason it is less
stressful to the child’s body.”
QUICK DEFINITION
Clathrate: Relating to or being a compound formed by the inclusion of
molecules of one kind in cavities of the crystal lattice of another.
How PCA-Rx Works: PCA-Rx is different from other chelating agents,
and we believe it represents a major breakthrough in personal
detoxification.
Utilizes Clathration.
PCA-Rx works on the principle of clathration. Its contingent of specifically
sequenced peptides form a lattice or inclusion complex. This
represents a true breakthrough in the field of oral chelating agents.
Detoxification with a Peptide Clathrating Agent.
Most of us have heard of chelation therapy. Physicians and doctors have
utilized chelation therapy for years to cleanse their patients’ bodies of
lead and other heavy metal contaminants. PCA-Rx from ASN™/Maxam™
Nutraceutics™ is the first peptide clathration formula ever created for
natural detoxification. Not only is it among the most effective chelating
agents now in practice; it is available to consumers over-the-counter at
natural health centers and from health professionals.
Nutrient Particles Measured in Nanometers. We usually think of the
amounts included of particular nutritional supplements in terms of
milligrams and micrograms. But PCA-Rx nutrient particles are
formulated in the range of nanometers – reduced to their bare peptide
essential configuration – and placed in a natural colloid. The body
recognizes these peptides as nutrients.
Affinity for Cell Membranes. Each nutrient particle carries a negative
surface charge and cells contain a positive surface charge, so
absorption occurs electrokinetically, which is a much more efficient
method of absorption than osmosis where 50 percent maximum levels
may be achieved at best. Because of the particle size and bare, stripped-
down nature of the peptides, the PCA-Rx nutrients gain access into the
mitochondria of the cell. There, a peptide ligand complex binds with
greater affinity to cell receptor sizes than heavy metals, releasing the
heavy metals. The companion molecules then clathrate (wrap around
and enclose) the toxic substance, keeping it enclosed as it enters the
body’s elimination pathways. The bond is a strong one, too. PCA-Rx’s
nutrients bond to toxic chemicals with ionic, covalent and hydrogen
bonds as compared to DMPS (the most commonly-used chelation
agent), which utilizes only an ionic bond.
Does Not Remove Beneficial Minerals. PCA-Rx will not bind to beneficial
minerals because those that belong in the body are tightly bound and
protected by their natural enzymes. Heavy metals and toxins do not have
enzyme systems to protect them. PCA-Rx targets noncomplexed,
loosely-bound metals. If there is an excess of natural mineral in the
body (as with calcium-based plaques), PCA-Rx will also bind to these
and remove them. Metals are clathrated in the following prioritized order
due to their descending valences: lead, thallium, cadmium, arsenic,
aluminum, and mercury. This is important to note because if your
system is saturated with lead or another heavy metal, your urine mercury
readings will not drop until you have clathrated the metals with higher
valences.
FYI: Monitoring Detoxification
You can have your urine or stool tested for toxic elements by contacting
Doctor’s Data at 800-323-2784 or Great Smokies Laboratory at 800-522-
4762. These companies provide instructions on how to obtain the
samples and mail them. Many health insurance companies will pay for
urine and fecal heavy metal testing when your physician orders this.

DENTAL AMALGAMS OR “SILVER FILLINGS”
Excerpts from www.mercury-poison.com
Silver Fillings
A "silver filling" is a euphemism for an amalgam restoration, which a
dentist places in a patient's tooth after a cavity is created by drilling out
decay. Amalgam restorations consist of mercury, silver, tin, copper,
and a trace amount of zinc. The dental amalgam has two fundamental
flaws that adversely affect a patient's health. The first fundamental flaw
is that all amalgam metals are cations. The net result of the tendency
for covalent, ionic and metallic bonding and van der Waals forces
between amalgam cations is a weak repulsion. So there is a
sustained release of mercury and other metals from the amalgam into
the body. Researchers have measured a daily release of mercury on
the order of 10 micrograms from the amalgam into the body. Mercury
is a toxic metal; the most minute amount damages cells.
The second fundamental flaw is that there are five dissimilar metals in
the amalgam. Galvanic action between these metals in inevitable (the
dissimilar metals form a battery). Galvanism produces electricity that
flows through the body. The electric currents produced by the
amalgam typically are between 0.1 and 10 microamps, compared to
the body's natural electric current of 3 microamps.
The mercury challenges systemic functions of every individual and of
developing fetuses, so it can lead to health problems and fetal
malformations. Mercury leakage and its subsequent pathophysiologic
effects are most often slow, insidious processes. So health problems
caused by dental mercury poisoning are perceived many years after
the amalgams are placed.
Arthur Schopenhauer, 19th Century Philosopher ..."All truth passes
through three stages: first it is ridiculed, second it is violently opposed,
and third it is accepted as self-evident."
