"We are living in a toxic world, with serious effects on our health. This well-researched book offers a unique and valuable perspective on a promising treatment. Taking specific oral supplements can remove or "chelate" toxic metals, making an enormous contribution to medical care, health maintenance, and longevity."
—Hyla Cass, M.D., author 8 Weeks to Vibrant Health, and Supplement Your Prescription (www.cassmd.com)
"Every person on our planet has significant levels of heavy metals and other toxins which can cause heart disease, cancer, and brain disorders. This book provides state-of-the-art information on safe methods to detoxify. Dr. Gordon is a brilliant and renowned pioneer in this field, who is still on the cutting edge, and David Jay Brown clearly explains and elucidates the concepts of Dr. Gordon and other leading experts. If every doctor read this book, health care might be totally transformed. Until that happens, as a medical doctor who specializes in detoxification, I highly recommend this book to everyone!"
—Randy S. Baker, M.D., Founder and Director
of The Pacific Center for Integral Health
"This book is a must for anyone who is breathing the air, eating the food, and drinking the water on this incredibly polluted planet. For those who are no longer able to breathe, eat and drink, this book is unfortunately too late. Although we can not seem to stop the merciless polluters or activate the slow to respond governments at this point in time, this book offers a powerful way for us to protect ourselves from the all encompassing pollution that is poisoning our enzyme systems so that we can not heal or repair, depleting brain function in everyone, contributing mightily to autism, depleting our ATP energy production systems, accelerating the aging process and ultimately our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual joy in life. Chelation is not only a reasonable self-defense or nice prevention idea; it is a must for the survival of our endangered human species."
—Gabriel Cousens, M.D., M.D.(H), Diplomat in Ayurveda, American Board of Holistic Medicine and author of
There Is A Cure For Diabetes and Conscious Eating
"Dr. Garry Gordon, you have been a personal inspiration to many physicians and patients worldwide in the field of Integrative Medicine. I personally follow many of your teachings myself and am looking forward to a longer and healthier life directly because I take your advice and use your supplements on a daily basis. I've had the privelege of working with you on the AZ Homeopathic Board and furthering the cause of our style of medicine up against some over reaching odds and we have succeeded. You are one of my personal Medical Heroes!"
—Bruce H Shelton MD MD(h) DiHom FBIH
Homeopathic Family Physician
"Are you concerned about the heavy metal toxicity you are guaranteed to have simply by living on polluted planet Earth? Do you have any chronic degenerative illnesses? Have you been misled by your conventional doctor about chelation therapy? Has even your alternative doctor discouraged the use and effectiveness of oral chelation therapy? Are you ready for an easy to read and understand treatise on perhaps the simplest thing you can do to enhance your health and protect against degenerative disease (other than a pristine diet)? Are you interested in an inexpensive yet effective alternative to intravenous treatments for heavy metal toxicity? If you have answered yes to any of these questions, this book is indispensible. The authors dramatically and accurately (with references) educate you on a totally neglected (by conventional medicine) cause of disease affecting 100% of the Earth's inhabitants to one extent or another. Even better, they provide information on affordable remedies.
There are only three major causes of disease: malnutrition, stress and toxins. This book does a better job at addressing a most serious cause of universal toxicity than any publication in the field. This is a must read book for lay people and health professionals alike who have any interest in preventing disease and treating the cause, not the symptoms."
—Robert Jay Rowen, MD Editor in Chief, Second Opinion Newsletter and internationally known as the "Father of Medical Freedom"
