Oral ChelatoRx

Safe and Effective Alternative to IV Chelation Therapy

Oral ChelatoRx is an EDTA-containing formula designed to provide oral chelation. This formula chelates or “binds” heavy metals and excessive levels of calcium and other metal compounds from the bloodstream. Many anti-atherosclerotic protocols and toxic metal reducing protocols benefit from the inclusion of this product. Be sure to take an optimal mineral-containing formula such as Maxi Multi to insure replacement of the “good” minerals during oral chelation therapy.

Here are some of the known actions of Oral ChelatoRx’ Ingredients:

EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid) is a synthetic amino acid, approved by the FDA as a pharmaceutical agent for the treatment of lead and other heavy metal poisoning or exposure. Prior to the late 1970’s, the FDA also approved EDTA as being “possibly effective in occlusive vascular disorders…arrhythmias and atrioventricular induction defects…and in the treatment of pathologic conditions to which calcium tissue deposits or hypercalcemia may contribute other than those listed above.”  Although they have since withdrawn the latter “indication” (for reasons that were never substantiated by any science that I can find), many physicians still use EDTA chelation to bind and remove toxic metals and abnormal calcium deposits in the body.

Although best known in “IV chelation therapy” for atherosclerosis, low-dose daily oral EDTA also appears to be safe and effective. Clinical studies with EDTA reported loss of fat in rats, reduction of cholesterol in rabbits, and reduced blood pressure in humans. Human studies of oral EDTA have shown significant improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol levels, intermittent claudication and angina. In another study, chest pain symptoms completely resolved in patients taking oral EDTA for 3 months.

EDTA is considered quite safe and is approved as a food additive in the US.

Chlorella is a potent detoxifier, high in minerals and phytonutrients. Have you ever seen green algae growing in stagnant water? Algae is nature’s method of cleaning up impure water. Chlorella, an algae, does the same thing in the human body: it pulls out toxins and impurities. Chlorella is known to eliminate toxins, pesticides, and heavy metals from the body.

Garlic: Many studies have shown that garlic helps the cardiovascular system. Some trials show that garlic lowers cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Garlic also inhibits platelet aggregation and increases fibrinolysis, which decreases “blood stickiness.” Garlic has blood-pressure lowering and has antioxidant activity.

Garlic’s heart-protective effects were seen in a four-year clinical trial on people 50–80 years old with atherosclerosis, where consumption of 900 mg of standardized garlic supplement reduced arterial plaque formation by 5–18%.

Malic Acid is a naturally occurring compound that plays an important role in deriving adenosine triphosphate (ATP; the “energy currency” of the body) from food. It is found in a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, but the richest source is apples, which is why malic acid is sometimes referred to as “apple acid.” ATP is crucial to normal heart function.

Gugulipid (Commiphora mukul) is a small, thorny plant found in India. The resin contains compounds that lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, including total cholesterol, LDL and VLDL cholesterols ( the “bad” cholesterols). At the same time, gugul raises HDL cholesterol (the “good” cholesterol). Gugul contains antioxidants which prevents LDL cholesterol from oxidizing, an action that helps protect against atherosclerosis. Guggul also reduces the stickiness of platelets—another effect that lowers the risk of coronary artery disease.

Serrapeptase is an enzyme derived from the Serratia bacteria which lives in the intestinal tract of silkworms. It has been used for over 30 years in Europe and Asia (where it is approved as a “drug”) to reduce pain and inflammation. Serrapeptase dissolves blood clots and prevents abnormal blood clotting.

Suggested dose: 12 capsules per day in a single dose between meals or as recommended by a physician.

PARASITES


Natural Solutions To Deal With Parasitic Infections

Symptoms of acute parasite infection are usually obvious, but “sub-acute” (low grade infection) of parasites can cause or contribute to many health problems and the diagnosis is often missed in conventional medicine (for reasons which I describe below). Symptoms of sub-acute parasitic infection can include:

  • chronic GI symptoms (IBS, diarrhea, intestinal cramps, constipation)
  • chronic digestive complaints (belching, heartburn, malabsorption)
  • headaches
  • weight loss (unintended)
  • autoimmune disease
  • multiple food intolerances
  • chronic fatigue
  • fever, chills (especially if no other cause is found)

Parasites are, in the broadest sense, any organism that lives on or in another organism and detracts from the health and vigor of the host. An organism that lives on or in another organism but does NOT detract from the health and vigor of the host is referred to as a commensal. If the organisms benefit from their relationship with each other, they are known as symbiots and their relationship is called symbiosis.

Obviously, many relationships between organisms and humans can be considered parasitic: virus/human, bacteria/human, worm/human, even human/human! Medically speaking, the term parasite is most commonly understood to mean the relationship between a human host and a protozoa or worm. These relationships are almost always destructive to the host. In addition, certain bacteria, fungi, protozoa and amoebas have dual relationships with the host and can be either parasitic or commensal.

Because of their parasitic potential, parasite/commensals will be considered in addition to true parasite. Some examples of each include:

True Parasites

Protozoan: E. histolytica, Giardia lamblia, Plasmodium (4 species), Leshmania, Toxoplasmosis, Cryptosporidia

Worms: Enterobiasis (pinworm), Trichuriasis (whipworm), Ascariasis, Necator americanus (hookworm), Strongyloidiasis (threadworm), Trichinella, Wucheria bancroftii

Parasite/Commensals

Protozoan: Blastocystis hominis, Dientamoeba fragilis

Amoeba: Endolimax nana, E. histolytica, E. coli, Iodamoeba butschlie

Fungi: Candida albicans, candida spp.

Bacteria: Klebsiella pneumonia

Symptoms of Acute Parasitic Infection

History and symptoms have largely been regarded as the guiding factors for diagnosis of parasites. These symptoms vary according to the species of organism, what part of the body is infected, and the severity of the infestation.

Systemic symptoms of fever, chills, skin lesions, hemolytic anemia or jaundice, especially following out-of-country travel, often suggest the diagnosis. Overt GI symptoms including diarrhea, abdominal pain, cramping, flatulence, epigastric pain, intermittent nausea and malodorous stools may indicate intestinal infection.

Holistic Consideration of Parasites

When history and/or symptoms are overt, a diagnosis of parasites may be readily suspected. Sub-acute infections resulting in low-grade GI symptoms are encountered routinely in general family practice but are frequently unrecognized as such. This problem of under-diagnosis is likely due to several factors:

  1. Lack of history of exposure. It is not necessary to travel out of the country to acquire a parasite. Many organisms present themselves in food. A history of world travel used to be a major factor guiding physicians to diagnosis. Today, however, it must be appreciated that any non-exotic parasite can be acquired locally.
  2. Sub-acute nature of symptoms: Acute parasitic infections, with attendant severity of GI or systemic symptoms, is often easier to diagnose than sub-acute infection. Sub-acute infection can be either caused by a true parasite or by a parasite/commensal and can trigger a variety of local complaints that are not typically thought of in conjunction with parasite, but should be.
  3. Inadequacy of laboratory evaluation. The first “weak link” in the diagnostic chain, especially in sub-acute infections, is often the physician. The second weak link can be the medical lab, the method of collection, or both.

Many medical labs are equipped to identify overt parasitism, especially when the specimen yield is high. When the percent yield is low, the organism is often missed. Further, exotic species are more often recognized than non-exotic species and parasitic/commensal organisms, which may be overlooked or under-reported. For example: Candida albicans, is rarely reported on a conventional stool assay because it is considered a commensal and therefore not thought of as infectious. However, an overgrowth of this organism is known to behave in parasitic fashion to the host.

What To Do If You Suspect Parasites

First, don’t “play doctor” unless you ARE one! See a physician about your complaint and get a “work-up” by conventional medical standards. This will probably include blood and perhaps urine analysis and physical diagnosis. IF nothing can be identified to explain your complaint AND you have symptoms on the list above, then it is time to have some additional testing performed by an alternative medicine physician to evaluate for a sub-acute parasitic infection. You need a physician consult for this.

Based on your symptoms, the appropriate tests FROM THE RIGHT LAB will be ordered. (Remember, many labs miss the diagnosis when the number of parasites present in the sample are small). I use laboratories that specialize in looking for low-grade parasitic infections, so if something is there, they will find it. Also, increasing the number of specimens has been proven to dramatically increase the likelihood of finding an offending organism. This is because parasites in the GI tract “shed” only periodically and are often missed by a single stool sample.

The most common tests needed to discover parasites include the Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis, Candida testing and a Gastric Acid Self-Test. Again, knowing which tests to order is a matter of clinical judgment that few laymen are prepared to make.

If you believe, based on your chronic symptoms and from what you have just learned, that you may have parasites as a cause of your problems, please give me a call for consultation. I can help you learn if parasites are a cause of your “undiagnosed” complaint.

Exact treatments will differ depending on the organism and location. There are some basic recommendations that apply to all parasitic infections, however.

Primary Support

  • Maxi Multi: 3 caps, 3 times per day with meals. Parasites “sap” nutrients from the body and weaken the immune system. Especially important nutrients include vitamin A and B12, but any nutrient can be deficient based on the nutritional patterns of the parasite.
  • Fiber Formula: (helps transport killed organisms out of the body): 6 caps, 2 times per day between meals.
  • Chlorophyll: (water soluable; intestinal detoxifier): 1 cap, 2 times per day with meals.
  • Immune Support: 1 cap, 2 times per day with meals
  • SupremaDophilus: 1 cap before bed. Helps replace “friendly” gut bacteria.
  • Parasite Tincture: as directed by physician.
  • Berberine has been shown to have anti-protazoan effects

Additional Support

  • Colloidal Silver: 1-1/2 tsp. two times per day (for 140 pound body weight; adjust up or down as needed). Use 5ppm silver for 14 days.

    NOTE: Sub-acute parasitic infections are usually better treated by alternative medicine than by conventional drugs. The reason is that anti-parasitic medicines are toxic to the host as well as the parasite, and low-grade infections must be treated for a much longer duration of time to be sure that all organisms are killed.

Shipping

How Does Dr. Myatt Ship My Order To Me?

We ship exclusively by United States Post Office Priority Mail.

USPS Priority Mail provides 2 to 3 day delivery of your order at the most economical rates.

We have tried other carriers (FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc.) and we have found that for our location none of them can match the cost effectiveness and quick delivery times of USPS Priority Mail.

Can I pay extra for “Overnight” shipping?

No – sorry, there is no “overnight” where we are. Dr. Myatt’s Wellness Club is located in an area of Arizona that has clean air and pure water and is also very rural. That means that our location adds at least a day to any expedited shipping method as the package must get from our location to a major center (Phoenix) where it can begin it’s journey to you. For all the extra cost of “overnight” shipping, we have found that 2 to 3 day USPS Priority Mail is just as fast in most cases.

UPS and FedEx pickups and deliveries are irregular and unreliable where we are. On the other hand, our staff takes your orders to our local post office for delivery.each postal business day at around 4 PM and they are on theri way to you that day.

I placed my order today – when can I expect to receive it?

If you placed your order on Sunday through Friday, we’ll do everything possible to have it in the hands of the Postman and on it’s way to you the next morning. Because there is no mail pickup on Sunday orders placed on Saturday will ship Monday morning.

Once your order is in the Postmans hands you can expect to receive it in 2 to 3 days.

Please remember that there is no mail pickup or delivery on Sunday or national holidays. (There is no UPS or FedEx either!)

My order is taking longer to come than it should – Why?

Delays sometimes happen. The Postman’s delivery van might have a flat tire. The USPS truck or airplane might be delayed by weather. Maybe someone in the post office sorting room goofed and your package went to Portland Oregon instead of Portland Maine and then it was redirected by way of Portland Texas. Once the package leaves our location it is up to the post office – we have no further control over it.

On very rare occasions we get caught short on products here: Sometimes there is an unexpected demand for a product, or maybe our supplier can’t get fresh products to us quickly enough. Usually delays like that are only a day or two – and if they are longer we’ll let you know and we may ship as much of your order as possible with the back ordered items to follow ASAP.

A 5-Point Program to Stop Smoking for Good

Chronic (daily) tobacco use (smoking or chewing) is one of the most health-harming habits anyone can engage in. (Daily bungee-jumping might be more harmful). And it’s not “just” lung disease: the effects of smoking cause premature aging and damage from head to toe.

In case you don’t know about the other “non-lung” problems caused by smoking, read Smoking: Just the Facts^ (The link opens in a new window). Then come back here to learn what you can do to either:

A.) help protect yourself from many of the harmful effects of tobacco use,

OR (better yet)

B.) stop smoking altogether.

Tobacco is a highly addictive substance. Some say that it is one of the most difficult drugs to quit. Here is my 5-point plan for making your “stop smoking” decision easier and surer.

1.) Decide on a “quit date.” Whether you plan on decreasing your tobacco use gradually or quitting “cold turkey,” have a “quit date” selected and stick to it.

In practice, I have observed higher success rates among those who quit “cold turkey,” but pick a plan and stick with it no matter which method you choose.

2.) Keep a “smoking triggers” diary for one week. Write down when you tend to smoke. Is it on work-break? After meals? When driving?

Whatever your “triggers” are, you’ll need to plan alternate activities. For example, if you usually smoke at work breaks, plan to take a brief walk around the building or outdoor area instead.

Nature abhors a vacuum. If you don’t have other activities planned, you’ll revert to your habitual “smoking times,” even when you don’t physically crave a cigarette.

3.) Take a high-quality multiple Vitamin/Mineral Supplement. Smoking depletes B complex vitamins, antioxidants and other nutrients. These nutrients not only protect from some of the harmful effects of smoking, but they are involved in the production of neurotransmitters.

Imbalances in neurotransmitters – aka “brain hormones” – are a common cause of cravings. Taking a high quality multiple vitamin/mineral formula helps balance these brain chemicals and reduce cravings during withdrawal from tobacco.

NOTE: You need an Optimal Dose vitamin formula (6-9 capsules per day), not a “minimal Dose one-per-day formula. Here is a chart to show you optimal doses of individual nutrients: Optimal Dose Vitamins and Minerals

4.) Neurotransmitter Testing. Smoking alters the levels of Neurotransmitters (NT’s). It may also be that alterations in NT levels contribute to initial tobacco addiction.

For example: some people smoke because it increases energy levels. Low energy, in turn, can be cause by low epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (nor-adrenaline) NT levels. If these NT levels are low, normalizing them by natural methods can overcome the “energy rush’ offered by smoking.

Serotonin, epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine, GABA, PEA and histamine can all be involved in the addiction/craving cycle. A simple urine test which measures levels of these important “head hormones” can allow us to balance brain chemistry naturally and break the addictive cycle without low energy, nervousness and other symptoms many “quitters” experience.

Natural alternatives to “head meds” exist, and they can be used to balance brain chemistry once the results of your test are in.

5.) “How Bad Do You Want It”? as the Don Henley tune asks

Make sure your list of “why I want to quit” is a strong one. You’ll use this to remind yourself to stay firm when waves of cravings roll through.

It’s fine to want to quit for someone else, but be sure to have some “me” reasons on the list as well. Here are a few to get you started. Feel free to use any of those that apply to you!

Save money, improve breathing, decrease risk of heart disease, slow the aging process, live long enough to enjoy retirement (or the grandkids), set a good example for the grandkids (or your own children), not smell like stale smoke all the time, be free of addiction, have more energy, move with greater ease.

By following this 5-point program, anyone who really wants to quit can do so. I’ve got hundreds of successful “quitters” in my practice, a testimony to the success of this program and the power of genuine motivation.

 

IREST Massager Mini

iRest MassagerThe Tiny Technologic Marvel With Huge Health Benefits

The IREST Massager Mini is a dual channel battery operated muscle stimulation system (TENS unit) that helps to relieve minor muscle aches and pains.

What is TENS?
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a therapy that uses low-voltage electrical current for pain relief. It can also be used for muscle stimulation.

Patients tell us they use TENS-type devices to relieve pain from many illnesses and conditions.

Some common uses are to treat muscle, joint, or bone problems that occur with illnesses such as osteoarthritis or fibromyalgia, or for conditions such as low back pain, neck pain, tendinitis, or bursitis. Many people have also used their TENS to treat sudden, acute pain from muscle strain or overuse, and even labor pain, and chronic pain such as cancer pain. Diabetics have reported good results with the use of these devices to improve diabetic neuropathy. Bodybuilders use these devices both for soothing relief after a workout, and as a muscle stimulator for very tergeted muscle exercise (Like working a biceps for example).

The IREST Massager Mini is the best unit of it’s kind that we have been able to find.

Dr. Myatt and Nurse Mark have personally purchased and tested a number of different units. The units we tested ranged from bargain-basement junk that delivered outright shocks (Ouch!) to medical-grade, prescription-required units (with a price tag of $1400.00!) that were complicated and annoying to use and didn’t actually work veryt well. We believe the high-quality construction and superior operation of the IREST makes it the “best in class.”

So what does this little wonder do? By providing mild electrical current to muscles, the unit increases circulation, provides pain relief and muscle stimulation. Medically, these devices are prescribed for muscle and nerve pain.

The IREST has six different settings, all feeling like different types of massage or acupuncture. You can adjust the strength of impulse from almost impercetable to very strong.

How well does it work? Dr. Myatt got a patient off narcotic pain drugs in a single session by using this unit for back pain. This was a pateint who failed to respond to a $1400 prescription TENS unit.

Says Dr. Myatt: “I believe one of these devices needs to be in everyone’s medical kit. It is right up there with aspirin and bandaids in importance. I have one and use it regularly!

  • Pocket-size / Compact Design – Smaller than an i-pod!
  • Rechargeable battery
  • 2 Output channels- treat 2 different areas at the same time, or two people can share a treatment.
  • 6 massage modes
  • 20 intensity level settings
  • Adjustable treatment time settings
  • 2 Year manufacturers warranty Now with extended 5 Year manufacturers warranty

Find more information on the Massager Mini at the IREST website

Suggested retail price is $349. Because Dr. Myatt believes so strongly in the benefits of these devices she has negotiated a lower price and is offering these units at a substantial savings. You save $129.00!

IREST Massager Mini – Product # N372 – $219.97

Wellness Club Members pay only $197.98 and free shipping! Find out how you can start saving today! Extra Electrode Pads are available too – see below!

IREST Massager Mini KitWhat comes in the package?

  • IREST Massager Mini Unit
  • 1 set of regular single sided adhesive electrode pads 3×2 inches
  • 1 set of small single sided adhesive electro pads, 1 ¾ x 1 inches
  • Electrode Wires

Each IREST Massager Mini Unit comes complete with 1 set of regular single sided adhesive electrode pads 3×2 inches and 1 set of small single sided adhesive electro pads, 1 ¾ x 1 inches.

With reasonable care your pads can be re-used dozens of times. If they begin to lose their adhesive quality they can be gently washed by hand with a drop of dish soap and warm water and left to air dry. They can also be sanitized using a few drops of plain, non-perfumed, alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

If your pads become damaged or you wish to have extra pads on-hand we have them available. We also have larger pads available.

Large Massager PadsLarge pads

These adhesive electrode pads are approximately 2 inches by 4 inches and are useful for treating larger muscle groups or areas.

N383 – Large Electrode Pads – $14.97

Medium Massager PadsMedium pads

These medium sized duck-foot shaped adhesive electrode pads are approximately 2 inches by 3 inches and are useful for treating most areas.

N384 -Medium Electrode Pads – $9.97

About Recharging Adaptors:

The iRest Mini Massager uses an internal rechargeable battery that is recharged between uses with a power adaptor that plugs into a wall outlet.

We have had a number of inquiries from people who have misplaced their recharging adaptor and are seeking a replacement. We do NOT have these adapters available for sale seperately.

But, all is not lost! These recharging adapters are very common, generic “wall-wart’ power adapters commonly used to recharge cellphones, tablets, music players, and similar electronic devices. They can be purchased readily and inexpensively at stores like Best Buy, Radio Shack, WalMart, Target, K-mart, grocery stores, and even thrift stores often have them available for a few dollars.

You just need a generic charger with a ‘Mini USB’ plug to fit your iRest.

The Shaman’s Lesson of Worth

“Free” and “Health Care” Aren’t Necessarily Good Together…

I was a starry-eyed first year resident when I met the old man, a Shaman (medicine man and spiritual advisor) to his Native tribe in the four corners area of New Mexico. It had long been my goal to study with such a healer and learn the “secrets” of the Shaman’s ways. Now here I was, face-to-face with just such a One.

A young man came to see the Shaman about a health problem. From his appearance and description, I guessed him to be no more than twenty. He complained bitterly about the “strange sights” that he saw on occasion. By western standards, schizophrenia was a likely diagnosis. The young man clearly needed help. The Shaman told him that he would be available, but that a week-long ceremony would be necessary. Then the Shaman told him the cost. The young man shook his head dejectedly and left. I questioned the Shaman.

What was the fee for the ceremony, and why had the young man gone away without treatment? I wanted to know. The Shaman explained that the fees were approximately $6000 in western money, but that people paid in other means of exchange like goats, sheep, baskets, and other items. The man left because he did not have the required fee. Sensing that I was upset by this, the Shaman explained that the young man would return for treatment after he raised the necessary funds.

“But why,” I wanted to know, “don’t you help him now and let him pay later? Aren’t there some people that are too poor to afford your services? Do you ever give your services away for free?” “Never,” he assured me. Then the old man sat me down and carefully explained his stance.

“Health is a valuable commodity,” he told me, looking to see if I agreed. I nodded. “Like other valuable commodities, the people who want it dearly enough will work to get it. As they work, they increase their appreciation of it’s value. When I give a man a healing service without a fee, he associates ‘free’ with ‘not valuable.’ The potency of any treatment is not only in the treatment, but in the person’s belief in it’s value. When someone pays dearly for a ceremony, they show that they appreciate the value of my treatment. More importantly, they show themselves how much they value their health. A man who values his health will work hard to win it back, and he is more likely to recover.” He paused to let me take his words in.

“But what if someone really can’t afford your treatment?” I insisted. “People can always afford my ceremonies if they value their health. A poor man will recruit his family to help him raise the necessary funds. If he has no family, he will petition the community to help him raise the necessary funds. By doing this, he will not only value the ceremony he receives, but he will feel the support and good wishes of the community for his recovery. Anyone who truly wants to get well can always find a way to afford the healing ceremony.” With that, the old man stood to indicate that we were through for the day.

In the years since, the Shaman’s words have returned to haunt me. How many times have I heard people complain about the cost of supplements, or of my services, while they drive in a luxury car or S.U.V., eat out twice a week, own a vacation home in the mountains or at the beach, and subscribe to cable TV.? I believe that the old Shaman was right. The people who value their health will work to get it. They will pay to get it. And they will value it more dearly when it returns.
