Arginine Use

Hi,
What is your experience in combining oral chelation and the EDTA baths with infrared sauna therapy with niacin, minerals and oils? How much more does it speed up or facilitate detox? If you gradually ease up dosages and exposure times, is it a good combination to facilitate systemic detox, as long as the bowels and kidneys are working fine? What is your protocol for this combination? How does arginine supplementation and its stimulation of nitric oxide and positive effects on endothelial tissue combine into the mix? Linus Pauling proposed the Vitamin C, proline, lysine mix and now a lot of research is coming on the benefits of arginine for CVD. How do you see this?

Dear Doctor:
These are great questions and warrant stimulating some responses from the group. I have studied this entire process in some detail and I am convinced we need all that you mention and more including homeopathy. With my new work with RNA based products to turn off things like inflammation and stress that are contributing to the patients dis-ease, the sky is the limit. However, we have poisoned our planet and we need affordable help for EVERYONE first, then we can get into HOW we can synergistically magnify detoxification for those where simple things alone will not work.

I know that Arginine looks good on paper and Longevity Plus sells it as Beyond Circulation in a special stable form that was shown to work without needing to take so much of it. Thus I am not using it as often as I could, because I am getting great results with the simple approach of getting the patient on the 5 minute IV pushes at some affordable frequency and the total oral approach that I have laid out many times here. If EAV testing shows a big boost with ARGININE, then I WILL add it to that patient's protocol. I am getting such a big bang for the patient's buck with the approach I routinely advocate that I fail to add it to the program as much as the literature would support my doing so.

Since we now know that oral EDTA and the Endozym and/or Wobenzym component, RUTOSID, both act as MATRIX METALLOPROTEINASE INHIBITORS, and are again very cost effective, I have not routinely seen the need for proline or lysine although again they make good sense from their known activities. However, I do not think anything will be as effective as the FOCUSED approach I am using, which is getting at inflammation and blood viscosity as the major targets. Since I again have never failed to see the vascular symptoms improve and I never hear of a heart attack or stroke from ANYONE, no matter HOW advanced their cardiovascular disease is, I tend to stay with what I think I can get patients to do routinely and for the long term that is needed, i.e. a lifetime!

Sincerely,
