mercurialism - functional medicinemouth be it you know – i don't know what you know braces to...

Mercurialism

Ron: Dr. Dooley, I'm going to go ahead and pass the controls over to

you. You’ll see, in just a moment, you’ll see something pop up on

your screen.

Dr. Dooley: Hang on a second.

Ron: Just click that. I'll let you know when I see your screen. Okay, I do

see your screen, so if you could bring up your slides and we are

ready to go.

Dr. Dooley: Okay, so I'm going to be bringing up the slides?

Ron: Yes sir.

Dr. Dooley: Okey-dokey so that's interesting, so let me just – I was told – here

we go – hello everybody, I'm very happy to be here tonight with

you all. I'm calling you from the wonderful – now you guys can

see – you can see this little box on the side, on the right hand side

Ron?

Ron: Yeah. It's perfect. Dr. Dooley I apologize, I do see a slide but if

you can give me one moment I would like to do a formal

introduction. I do apologize. Dr. Dooley is a medical physician.

He’s medical director of Advanced Natural Medicine, Functional

Medicine Center (inaudible) (00:01:15) Advanced Natural

Medicine, Functional Medicine Center in Jupiter, Florida and

founder of MercOut International. He’s dedicated to educating

people about the health hazards of mercury and providing a safe

economical and convenient means for its detection and removal

from the body. He’s been practicing and teaching the proper

detection and treatment of heavy metal since 1994 providing

treatments to over 8000 individuals. He’s trained as an emergency

medicine physician at Thomas Jefferson University in

Philadelphia. Dr. Dooley opened two urgent care centers and after

15 years reoriented his practice from sick care to preventative

medicine incorporating nutrition, chelation, therapy and other

modalities. He’s travelled and lectured worldwide on health effects

and treatment of subacute mercury toxicity. Thanks doctor so

much, I really appreciate it. Everything looks good. I see your

slides perfectly.

Dr. Dooley: Great. Yeah so again welcome everybody and I really am excited

to learn about your university here and of course all of us are

reeducating ourselves in the whole field of what we I guess are

now calling functional medicine which is you know how to restore

function so that we are able to you know get rid of these symptoms

Mercurialism

of disease that we are seeing in people. And over the years it

became clear to me that you know my allopathic training prior to

that by the way I don't know if you've mentioned Ron but I had my

Masters in Science in Villanova, in Immunology and so I spent a

lot of time with the immune system issues that so many people are

having and believe me, I'm very shocked at the rate at which the

autoimmune disease epidemic is hitting. I left the country and lived

in New Zealand for six years and only now back too. And I come

back after six years to see what I – a startling increase in

autoimmune type diseases. And I'm sure that what I'm seeing is

what you are seeing too. So we may actually you know be

witnessing if you will an avalanche happening as toxicities are

hitting toxicities in food and who knows what other toxic stresses

including mental stresses are descending upon our population and

us as individuals too. I mean we heal thyself, we have – I actually

get a lot of patients who are positioned to or facing burnout and all

the kinds of physical issues associated with in many cases heavy

metal toxicity.

Now, that's kind of the subject of tonight’s talk and the subject that

I have spoken around the world on and which is something that I

actually stumbled upon really back in Fort Lauderdale 15-20,

probably 20 years ago. And this was the issue that heavy metals in

our bodies are really significantly impacting our entire systems

from the immune system, neurological system, endocrine system

and enzyme pathways are being altered. So it really doesn't have

any clear limits, particularly mercury to what these I call the beasts

can do. This is a – on your slide right now is a – it dates back to

2007 where you know they were talking about heavy metal toxicity

then and I can tell you right now from my understanding of

pathology as I saw it in Jefferson in Philadelphia that I was never, I

was never taught about chronic subacute mercury or lead or

cadmium or arsenic poisoning. I was – I can vaguely recall being

told about the Minamata disaster in Japan and how it you know –

you had acute serious mercury poisoning but that's not what we are

talking about, we are not talking about that, we are talking about

chronic – we are going to be talking about chronic subacute

toxicities that build over time, accumulate into tissues and are

behind the scenes, the hidden beasts that are caught behind the

scenes in many of our diseases and we are missing it. It's the

hidden beasts in our exam rooms and we are missing it unless we

properly ask the question is it there, number one. And number two,

properly test for its presence, their presence I should say. We are

going to be talking about multiple heavy metals but…

(Audio Gap)

Mercurialism

…experience in thousands of patients looking at chelation that is

the process of removing heavy metals and the subsequent

turnaround in patients’ health and symptoms. And I can only tell

you that it's startling, it's really actually starting when you begin to

see what you can do just in this one area of heavy metal toxicity,

particularly if you like I are dealing with people with gut issues,

we are not going to be able to get too much into the gut tonight, but

gut dysbiosis and leaky gut syndrome and candidiasis and those

things have intimatized with heavy metals, particularly mercury.

So we can – and I can say from a personal standpoint, my father

was a brilliant physician, a father of 8, and he died at 69 of

dementia and he had a mouthful of mercury which as you know the

amalgams are 50 to 60% mercury, they leak into the body and if

you are taking notes, I don't know if we are going to be able to

show that; no we are not going to be able to play game but there's a

very impressive YouTube video called the smoking amalgam so

you should Google smoking amalgam YouTube, you’ll see a video

that's been produced by the IAOMT, a Biological Dentistry

association – association of dentists, biological dentists that shows

a 25-year amalgam that is venting off mercury toxicities. My dad

also had a mixed metal mouth which was a mouth that has other

types of metals in there and in that saline solution creates a

galvanic or battery effect and the breakdown sacrificial metal is

going to be the amalgam. So these people with the mixed metal

mouth be it you know – I don't know what you know braces to

gold teeth and etc. even the bridges have metal in them, will have

problems, big problems. The other thing that you know really I

must say I don't know if there's any dentist in this group of people

listening but there – you know in medical school we are taught you

know kind of unspoken lead the mouth to the dentist and the

dentists I understand are told lead the rest of the body to the

doctors, the medical doctors and you know now we know that you

just can't separate those two because so much of what I do involves

the mouth. And in particular when I give lectures down in the

University of Miami to the medical students I say to them you

know when you put that tongue in people’s mouth and you look at

their tonsils and you look around and looking for whatever you are

looking for or taught in medical school, pay attention to their teeth,

pay attention to their amalgams, count the amalgams, do an

amalgam history. If they are an older person and they don't have an

amalgam which is quite often the case with my – I live in a rather

you know high income area here so a lot of these people are able to

afford the removal of amalgam so they have nice white teeth with

composites or bridges. But you know the fact is, is that I tell the

Mercurialism

students you know if they don't have any amalgams and they are

ask when and how many that they did have and when they were

removed and many times gosh almighty if you've asked this

question, you'll see in our chronic illness patients, who have

chronic fatigue and all these other things limes and what not, you’ll

find that they will say something like oh no, no they are full of

mercury, I had them all removed at once. I had 8 of them removed

say at once 4 years ago and you go really and who removed it

remember that's another question. It wasn't a biological event. This

is your own dentist so they got blasted with a 4000-fold increase in

mercury vapor and the dentist too by the way many of whom are

my patients now and who are completely sick. But they got blasted

with mercury which was in addition to what had accumulated in

their tissues was the straw that broke the camel’s back. And they

did freefall their disease state when freefalling.

So if any little pro that I can tell you all tonight is please pay

attention to the mouth, really, really, really and you know it's so

incredible particularly with this piece called mercury. So let's jump

in to mercury. So I'm trying to get to sync here so in the afore

shown journal the metals are, they are toxic because they create a

million fold increase in free radicals. These free radicals as you all

well know is mostly what's behind disease process. So you see that

there's DNA damage, lipid peroxidation, depletion of protein

sulfhydryls such as glutathione and by the way it takes two

glutathione to remove every atom of mercury so anybody with

mercury has got glutathione depletion. And also selenium

depletion which we'll see.

So they say, the metals are everywhere in an environment and

exposure to them is inevitable so you know we look at multi

systems being involved here and we'll be going through those

systems. It is absolutely a (inaudible) (00:11:57) or a wide ranging

in its destructive capabilities and add a very subtle, oftentimes very

subtle level from the mitochondrial to the glutathione depletion as

you will see.

So why should we be talking or be concerned about mercury you

know it's toxic to all living creatures, it’s everywhere, it's

absolutely involved with health damage, it takes years for these

symptoms to improve and many are – it's behind the cause of

many, many issues. So it really is a hidden cause. If you take a

blood test or a random urine test which we'll see a little bit later it's

not going to show anything. These are the systems that are affected

by the body, by mercury and you can see really pretty much

everything is included. And we'll be going through some of those.

Mercurialism

So World Health Organization studied mercury and this is their

statement. So they are basically saying the three different types of

mercury involved and they all have different toxic effects and they

all in fact affect to some extent different systems in the body. The

primary sites of storage are these, the brain, thyroid, liver and the

adrenals and when we'll I think this PowerPoint shows the sheep

experiment where you will actually see radioisotopically labeled

mercury from a mother sheep when they were implanted in the

mother sheep going to the fetus. In fact actually even higher

concentrations – this was done in Calgary – University of Calgary

by Doctors Vimy and Loscheider.

So this is the other statement that I find absolutely phenomenal by

the World Health Organization when they studied mercury and

they were told to study basically all the different poisons and this

one was really interesting that there was no threshold where they

didn't see adverse effects. Now it's an interesting statement. That

means that even at the lowest levels of investigation of mercury,

they found adverse effects happening. So that says something.

When we get results back on mercury and we find that patients are

told oh that's you know that's just a bunch of baloney, it's not

enough, it can't be – mercury harms you, that's not true. Mercury

particularly if you are sensitive to it, can really have a devastating

effect and again a subacute long term effect on people. The – I

know the understanding is there's MDs (inaudible) (00:14:42)

chiropractic and acupunctures out there, all of us are seeing

patients who have unexplained type of issues or chronic fatigue

that just, they don't, we don't seem to be or fibromyalgia that you

know we just can't pinpoint and some of these things that are

subtle and head scratchers and you know really at the end of the

day I'm going to be trying to convince you that you really aren't –

we aren't really doing our job unless we properly rule out heavy

metals. And when I talk about mercury which is really kind of

going to be this PowerPoint focus, we are also going to be talking

about you know the other heavy metals, lead and cadmium,

arsenic, etc. I don't know how many out there know but we use

pretty much exclusively Doctor's Data and I want to give a thumbs

up to Doctor's Data I know this is not a – I have no commercial

and vested interest in Doctor's Data only to say that they are – they

really work hard, they really do a great job and we've sent multiple

blind samples, split samples to them and their accuracy is always

right on, spot on. So you know I really appreciate the backup that

we get from labs such as Lowe’s and Genova and other you know

SpectraCell, another great lab that we use in functional medicine.

Mercurialism

So these are some of the sources that we get you know we get

mercury from – the amalgams of course are the number one – I

must say that we are seeing a real increase in younger people

who've never had amalgams who are having a lot of mercury and

it's coming out of the fish sushi area. And then of course there's the

whole vaccine controversy and thimerosal is preservative that is

high in mercury with these kids. Thermometers, now it's getting

harder and harder to find mercury thermometers. We can't find any

more sadly because I use mercury thermometers to test facial

axillary temperatures for thyroid and now we have to use

something that's some kind of liquid, I don't know what. Not only

florescent bulbs but these new – someone had called them

(inaudible) (00:17:14) bulbs but I'm really not sure they are high in

mercury thermostats, barometers, light up shoes. Now this is

interesting, the tattoos, the – I actually had a case sent to me six

months ago by my physician’s assistant who started doing

chelation and her red tattoo on her leg ate into her skin and I'm like

what the heck and I looked it up and of course found as I now

added to this slide because before it just said tattoos that the red die

in tattoos is actually made from cinnabar which is mercuric sulfide.

So be very aware that people who have – particularly the red tattoo

maybe getting mercury poisoning. So that was really quite a

surprise to me, paint and blood pressure gauges and these other

batteries.

So the World Health Organization gave this kind of line-up for

where we get mercury. Amalgams were the highest. As you see a

wide range there. It's wide because it really depends on the number

and the size of the amalgams in the head and also as I have said

before the 21 might be a person who is getting the mixed metal

mouth and the mixed metal mouth would then generate huge

amounts of mercury fish and other foods.

Activity over the amalgam dramatically increases the off venting

into your body and of course inhalation and swallowing of

mercury. So chewing food and tooth brushing and then putting in

the amalgam, removing the amalgam as I told you before and

polishing the amalgam for heaven’s sakes we have never seen such

sick people as the dental hygienist. I had one people. Actually she

(inaudible) (00:19:19) literally new patient a day came back in for

results of her urine and she was three times off the page and she

was 12 years and she told me that she was squeezing the mercury

through a cheese cloth with bare hands. And it doesn't really matter

even with bare hands if they had gloves because it goes through

that. And it doesn't really matter if the dentist has a paper mask, the

staff of a paper mask they are still breathing in the mercury. So be

Mercurialism

aware and ask the question when you do about where people work

the heads up if they work anywhere inside of a dentist’s office they

are at very, very high risk. Just as an aside, the Norwegian Dental

Hygienists Association fought for years to include their symptoms

of miscarriages and headaches, migraines and work days off and

all the other mercury symptoms as a workman’s comp and finally

the Norwegian government gave in and admitted that they were

victims of their occupational exposure.

So one teeny-weeny – I don't know if this is going to show up on

the internet but one teeny-weeny microgram of mercury equals 43

billion atoms of mercury, one large amalgam equals 1 million

micrograms of mercury. So let that sink in for a second. How many

atoms in one microgram, so how many atoms are going to be in

one million micrograms or one large atom and that's going to be

that many atoms. Can you see that Ron?

Ron: Perfect, yes.

Dr. Dooley: Yeah, that many atoms of mercury. Now, I just said that one atom

of mercury requires two glutathione to remove it. If we are

authenting and this is authenting millions of atoms of mercury

vapor a day then we are going to be losing a lot of not only

glutathione by the way but two selenium are removed for every

atom of mercury. So we have tons of research and I've just about

read thoroughly and we can send you a CD or a library of the

research and the reviews that have been done over the years on

mercury. And at the end of the day, Tom Warren says how the hell

is it possible that we could put one of the deadliest toxins you

know 2 inches from our brain that vents into our brain, it's just

unbelievable. If anybody was a conspiracy theorist and wanted to

create disease as a paying entity back in the 1800s they would look

at well let's put mercury in there and in fact not that I'm a

conspiracy theorist but a little history is valuable here is that in

1863 the only dental association was the American Society of

Dental Surgeons and something else. And it was comprised mainly

of MDs, only of MDs (inaudible) (00:22:40) and their charter said

that it was malpractice to put any mercury in the mouth such as an

amalgam because it was a poison and you’d be disbarred and

you’d lose your license. And along came – their competition was

blacksmiths who were pulling teeth and they were putting this

mercury amalgam stuff in and they started association or

association started I should say called the American Dental

Association in 1865 whose platform said that amalgams are stable

and the mercury does not get into the body. Interesting, huh! And

that has become of course the predominant – people – that's the

Mercurialism

predominant assumption has been holding back all these years,

punishing their dentists if they dare speak about mercury. So

amalgams, this is a graph that shows amalgams in the mouth, the

number of amalgams surfaces in the mouth that is associated with

the urinary mercury output and you see that this is a nicely defined

curve upward. So there's no question that these things are getting

out into the body.

Yeah, are fish are a source and this graph shows how the

bioaccumulation of fish occurs and the of course the larger fish are

the ones that are going to be the most toxic with time and mercury.

Another one that's really getting some attention from us actually in

China particularly but is where they are putting up I think one coal

fire power plant a day is the amount of mercury being put into the

air by coal. So coal is really toxic and contains a lot of mercury. So

this is the other or a third source where we ask people if they've

been downwind of a coal fired power plant or living near auto steel

plants that might be burning coal, etc.

Here's the occupational exposure we talked about. So mercury has

two ways of attacking. It attaches to sulfhydryl groups such as of

enzymes and proteins such as glutathione and that's the direct

attack and then it indirectly will begin to weaken the immune

system while at the same time depleting the body of both

glutathione and selenium. And so what they do is so we are in an

environment I mean the word evolutionary wise, we are not really

made to rapidly and precisely and easily get rid of heavy metals.

So it has to be taken out and so it really can't be broken down

because there's an element and so two as I said two glutathione

molecules are lost for every atom of mercury removed and millions

of atoms are removed today. So we know that glutathione

depletion is totally not good. What happens when you have a

combination of glutathione and selenium depletion, you are set up

for cancer, big time. So there we have a little talk about selenium

and so we find that in helping the body’s attempt to reduce this

again we are losing this significant very important mineral

selenium.

So there's a whole bunch of studies here that are recent from let's

just say the last few decades anyway that we'll talk about the

different areas that mercury has been proven to have – be causal.

This particular study was done in 1990 shows that there was

significantly higher blood pressure right in groups with or without

- with amalgams, much more incidents of chest pain, tachycardia,

anemia, fatigue, tiring easily, being tired in the morning. It

Mercurialism

suggests that the inorganic mercury poisoning from dental

amalgams does affect the cardiovascular system and that's for sure.

This is an interesting study because it was really bothering me how

I was seeing this association between atherosclerosis and heart

attacks etc., angina being directly associated with mercury but I

could not figure out for the life of me how it really actually did

that. And then the voice here at the Ohio University, they answered

my question which was fantastic, which shows basically that they

prove that mercury activates an enzyme, phospholipase D that

basically releases – causes a release of phosphatidic acid and this

phosphatidic acid actually burns the internal lining of the arteries

setting up an injury site which is the (inaudible) (00:28:08) of a

formation of a plaque. So they stated in the study that chelators

overall did a better job than antioxidants at protecting against

mercury activation of that enzyme phospholipase D.

So where are the cardiologists when it comes to looking at mercury

for their patients? This is the most I think one of the most and

again phenomenal that this was published in their own journal,

Journal of American Cardiology, back in 1999. This was a study

done in Rome by Dr. Frustaci. She as a cardiologist in her group

studied a sampling of 13 patients who had basically

cardiomyopathy, their hearts were failing, they were on a waiting

list for transplant and while they were – had these patients, they –

she decided to do what I think was remarkable. They did actual

myocardial biopsies through catheterizations and took a sample of

cardiac tissue and then they took a same sized tissue from the thigh

muscle I believe it was, skeletal muscle and they sent both samples

in for analysis of trace elements and toxic metals. And what they

found was that there was a large increase and much, much higher

increase in the mercury. There was a overall 22,000 fold increase

in mercury in the heart muscle as compared to the patient’s thigh

muscle. And there was also thousands of times more cadmium,

thousands of times more lead. So the heart is apparently acting the

study proves – the heart is apparently acting as a magnet for heavy

metals and but the interesting thing was – this is 1999 and you

think that a conclusion like, a finding like this would be followed

up. Well, it never was. Nobody went any further with this study.

Nobody went into like well, why does that happen or you know

what it just simply died and it's amazing to me. I actually attended

a cardiology conference out in Big Island, Hawaii under cover. It

was an integrative, apparently in integrative cardiology. Nobody

had heard of this study. When I introduced it, they were like hmm,

does that mean, well, I said, well, what does it mean – what it

means is that these were end-stage failing hearts. But what happens

Mercurialism

when you take, when you super-concentrate a neurotoxinist, toxic

as World Health Organization said about mercury inside was

essentially the second largest neurological organ in the body

besides the brain, hello, the heart. Well, in neurotoxin, inside a

neurological bundle, it's going to create some effects and upstream

of the failing hearts you are going to have arrhythmia.

Hello? There's going to be some problems. So we are getting rid of

– I'm not going to say curing, we are removing arrhythmia as a

cause, as a symptom by simply testing and chelating out mercury.

And it's all basically just coming out of simply reading the

literature that they should really themselves be reading. Okay, let's

keep on moving. I don't want to get in my clinical soapbox but it’s

just sometimes to me it's just unbelievable.

The psychiatrists and the psychologists if there's anybody out

there, they are missing the boat. All of these symptoms that you

see there have been proven to be associated with mercury. And by

the way while I'm at it here because I don't go into lead in this

PowerPoint but I'm going to say something about lead because we

test for a panel of heavy metals from Doctor’s Data and we test for

all of the metals and we are finding in people who are born – older

people as older age, when they were around when leaded gasoline

was around, we find a significant amount of lead coming out of

people and particularly if they are in high you know metropolitan

areas that grew up in New York, Chicago, Boston, Long Island,

things like that, Northern Jersey and California, LA. So what we

are finding is lead. So anyway the end point of that is that if you

have lead which is also a neurotoxin and mercury together in the

tissues, their toxicities are not additive. In other words 1 plus 1

does not equal 2. 1 plus 1 can equal 10 to a 100 and that's called

synergistic effect. So a lot of these emotional states you are seeing

and other conditions that we have may actually have associated

with them also led in the background which then super propels the

damaging effect of mercury.

So it disrupts the brain big time. Lack of focus – how many people

of your patients and yourselves maybe included who have lack of

focus, brain fog, forgetfulness, memory problems and dementia.

Again you know it's a personal story for me but I know that I have

seen hundreds of patients who over time in getting rid of their

heavy metals have returned their memory and they begin to really

get out of the fog. And this is a journal that talked about the

cytotoxicity in the brain and how it created a situation that was

very similar to the condition of the Tau Phosphorylation being

increased for the Tau which is found in the Alzheimer’s disease

Mercurialism

patients. So this is the – this is a clue maybe that we are missing

the boat with dementia such as Alzheimer's and not paying

attention to mercury as this study suggests that it maybe causal. I'm

not saying that – I'm not kind of standing out here and say it

definitely is the cause of Alzheimer's and dementia which of

course you know has skyrocketed, I think there's – I think it's a

combination of things but I think it certainly is a factor and needs

to be paid attention to.

So this is an area that I you know I think I do sleep over because I

have not been able to address it properly. A dear friend of mine

Donna Gates who wrote Body Ecology has I think taken the door

on this in trying to develop a program to detoxify one of the

mothers and get their bodies to a point where they will deliver a

healthy vibrant child rather than sometimes what we are seeing so,

it does harm kids. Mercury again I hope this will show the study

from Calgary but if it doesn't I think I explained it which is that

proof beyond a shadow of doubt that the mother transfers this

pregnant sheep with the radioisotopically labeled mercury

amalgams showed completely chalk full of mercury in her body

and also in the baby fetus body.

The hormonal systems – okay show of hands how many people

deal with hypothyroidism, ah I see it – I can't really see it but I'm

pretending I do.

Hypothyroidism – that is lack of ability to be able to you know

produce this incredibly important T3 hormone that from iodine

basically and our thyroids and this is majorly impacted by

mercury. Now, why is that? Well, T4, the inactive moiety is

converted to T3 through an enzyme called deiodinase. Deiodinase

is directly impacted and stopped if you will, it malfunctions under

the – in the presence of mercury and now how close is our thyroid

to our place for this mercury closure to the amalgams are. So we

see significant improvement in thyroid function and you know

warming up and the hair or skin issues, libido and fatigue, are

going away when people are – get the mercury out of them.

So this study basically showed that there was a potion or wide

ranging impact on all of our endocrine systems by mercury. So

yes, we pretty much any TPO elevation out - thyroglobulin

antibody elevation has got to – you've got to rule out mercury. It's

amazing how the thyroid modules go down, it's amazing how the

antibodies go down. My physician’s assistant’s mother, her TPO

antibodies went from abnormal to normal simply with the

chelation of mercury from her body. So autoimmune thyroiditis

Mercurialism

hashimoto's is mercury until proven otherwise in my estimation. In

fact to me it really borders on malpractice anymore not to be – not

to take any autoimmune disease or look at any autoimmune disease

and rule out heavy metals particularly mercury and lead from the

picture.

This is an interesting one where the TPO antibodies went down

with the removal of mercury and there is – there was a significant

increase in the anti-Tg and the anti-TPO autoantibodies and but the

ones that did not have amalgams replaced, did not have any

change. So that was pretty conclusive that this was happening due

to the amalgam fillings.

So hormone havoc, fatigue, weight gain, low sex drive, cold

extremities, again these are many of these are thyroid issues,

impotency, insomnia, hair/skin issues, mood swings you know we

do a lot of biodentical hormone, replacement therapy at our center.

My (inaudible) (00:39:42) my physician’s assistant is pretty much

a master in this area and she is really coming on board with me,

she’s really begun to understand that she just cannot do her job

without a you know significantly ruling out heavy metals. So I

don't – I really got to tell you that I don't think anybody comes to

our center anymore without getting tested and we'll get to that.

So mercury and immune system majorly impacted exhibits high

binding sulfhydryl groups, appears to have the most diverse effect

on the immune systems all over cause immunosuppression,

immunostimulation, autoimmune reactions and hypersensitivity,

study by Schwenk.

14 days after this study showed – his study showed that with levels

of immuno-globulins E, G, IgE and IgG increase with in other

words autoimmune disease.

So we get lowered resistance to infection, we get prolonged

infection, allergies, autoimmune disease and it's mutagenic or

cause for cancer.

This is a white blood cell that's been exposed to mercury.

The nervous system of course because it's a potent neurotoxin is

basically anything neurological and this is again every neurologist

should be testing for mercury out there. The tremors, chronic,

frequent headaches, anything involving the five senses needs to

you know just at least think about it and say well, you know well

Mercurialism

you know is it mercury – I mean just ask the question and I will

show you in a minute how you seen test for that.

So this is back to the Frustaci study that would be more

concentrated causing arrhythmias, angina, heart attacks, fatigue

and failure sorry failure. So I consider it you know our duty to

really not to consider our rule out mercury is a failure on our

behalf, on our part and you know I just, I'm not a – I just don't like

failure. So when it's time to you know think about this you know

we want to think about doing it the right way. That's the problem.

We can't take.

So how do you test the body burden of mercury? We can't do

routine blood, urine or hair. And why is that? Well, I went too fast.

Why is it? Well, I normally ask the audience, why is it? Well, it's

because mercury is not circulating – and mercury and other heavy

metals are not circulating around in the blood. They are in the

tissues. And so if they are in the – if they are not circulating in the

blood, they are not going to get into the urine and if they are not in

the urine then they are – if they are not in the blood they oftentimes

don't get into the hair well. Hair is better than you know – certainly

better than routine blood and urine but it's very, very active in our

knowledge, in our history.

So what we do is and what is really kind of I think the gold

standard is to do – use the substance called DMPS. Now, I know a

lot of you out there who – any of you that might be doing – been in

the past using DMSA, the DMPS is a significantly better chelator

and I think with less toxic effects and we've been using it for okay

so here comes the question why. The why was I answer this – it's

not circulating.

So we've used a DMPS provoked urine mercury or heavy metals in

this particular case. This slide is talking about mercury only which

of course is available or you can use all the full panel of I think 60

metals. So what we are looking for is you know this guy going up

into the red zone or even the yellow zone is indicative of an issue.

Now, I'm going to take a time look here. We've got 10 minutes. I'm

going to say that the Doctor’s Data includes something at the

bottom of the report now that says this test is an unprovoked

standard. So the range of normal here is with unprovoked. So I

have gotten over the years many, many physicians and patients

who've gone to physicians and say well, you just – you are just

trying to scare me. You are taking a provoked test that is taking a

chelating agent and driving the numbers up into the red and…

Mercurialism

Ron: Its right here.

Dr. Dooley: Okay. I got a warning sign here. And I say to them listen, I can tell

you that I have developed a range of normal for provoked. I

literally did first time in history actually over 1500 patients, normal

people and did because I was a speaker at two conferences in LA –

we did Doctor’s Data provocation on 1500 patients aging – from

ages 17 to 70. I think that's coming up actually and we'll go into

that.

So Townsend Letter talks a whole issue about mercury toxicity and

in June of 2007, Dr. Craig from Doctor’s Data said that basically

that the test that should be done is a quantitative assessment of net

retention and this is and currently using the provocation testing

using EDTA, DMPS or DMSA that's provoked urine challenge.

So quickly we have a 54-year old female dentist who had

progressive weakness, fatigue, polyarthralgias, memory decline,

anemia. She came to my talk and I was telling her about the

wellness talk with these people. She went back to her doctor and

said I forgot all these things, I'm a dentist, I think it's mercury. He

said all a bunch of baloney but anyway he went and did a blood

mercury and look he says negative lead, negative arsenic, negative

lead, negative mercury. And so he kind of said, see I told you, well

she came to us and right of the page she went.

(Audio Gap)

There's people who are doing the internet studies and stuff and

they are going and they are getting these negative reports. Here's a

hair sample from a nurse that worked with us actually who had

chronic fatigue syndrome and you can see hair elements and wow

look at that she has hardly any mercury, it's great huh. Well, not

really because when we did her mercury was way the heck up

there. So you can see that as I'm trying to get blood and mercury,

blood and hair are not really accurate for mercury.

So what can you expect from your patients? This is based on the

general population. So this goes down to – now this is an old slide

because we did more. Of 800 provoked actually it was 1500 now

we kept the same, the statistics that we thought ages 18 to 70, 70%

were in the very elevated red range, 25% were elevated and only

5% were within reference. And we think that was the ones that

never had mercury amalgams.

Mercurialism

So we've got a good result here showing lead, mercury down here

after 30 days DMPS you get a nice reduction in the mercury levels.

This is what you can hopefully expect to see on a really good

patient with low sequestration. Now, poor results shows that we

had high levels of mercury here on the top, we do too much of

DMPS, it's still hardly moving and then after one more month of

DMPS so it's three months of DMPS and it's still up in the range.

So this is a person who is holding a lot of mercury in their tissues.

This is a result of a person with tremors, confusion, had a high

mercury, I don't know if anybody can see that but it was actually

one of my staff member’s father – he came in, he had all these

tremors and it turned out to be as you can see that it's bismuth. He

was loaded with bismuth, way – 30 times off the page with

bismuth. And we find that bismuth can cause actual jerks, tremors,

dysarthria, etc. So this is just a slide that we throw in to show you

that other metals can be involved.

So what's the next step? This is about DMPS, it's very safe, it's

been used intravenous and orally but mostly orally in Europe. It's

well absorbed, effectively binds mercury, six times more effective

up to than DMSA, very low toxicity, very low gut issues and – but

it's not available over the OTC.

Dimercapto Proprano Sulfonate is the name and we don't want to

do an IV. It's well absorbed orally and this is a chart showing the

oral, the urinary output of mercury after DMPS. So there's a

program MercOut that's a 30-day at home treatment program

which targets mercury, arsenic and lead. It's safe and effective. It's

much safer. It's well tolerated and there can be some strong detox

outcomes on people so we tell people if you are going to be

detoxing people with mercury and heavy metals, try to open up

their pathways of detoxification. One of the companies I use is

DesBio and they have a great detox kit with six homeopathics in it.

Also Xymogen has one called Drainage or Drainage and I think

okay this is just to finish up.

Ron: You are fine doc.

Dr. Dooley: This is the – we did the provocation analysis on a bunch of patients

in New Zealand, 147 only a two-hour there and what we found was

that 63% showed reduction of measured urine mercury taking the

DMPS program over the two month period of time. So the average

mercury reduction was 69%. This is when we were starting,

looking at this. 130-day program of using 125 milligrams a day of

the MercOut DMPS which also has a morning formula which up-

Mercurialism

regulates the production the production of glutathione and

minerals, restores minerals is equivalent to 8 of the 250 milligram

IV. So there's no reason and so it's so much more economical and

so much easier and palatable for people to be able to do this at

home or on the road.

So these are some of the benefits that happen when you begin to

introduce mercury and other heavy metal testing to your patients.

You are doing a great benefit to them by ruling out heavy metals

and as he says pretty much a no-brainer in my estimation.

So a good clinician protocols always consider mercury in your

health assessment. During the mouth exam records the number of

amalgams and whether there's a mixed metal mouth with gold or

other issues and if no amalgams when were they removed, when

and how. When indicated order DMPS Provoked Urine Challenge.

Detoxify if the test returns elevated or very elevated. Suggest a

safe amalgam removal after detoxification. Recommend APoE

testing if there's a family history which is a gene that doesn't allow

people to be able to detoxify well. And let me just go back up one.

Why do I want people to remove it after I get the amalgams?

Here's the deal. I use the analogy if a person is sick, you are like a

– imagine if you are in a rowboat and you are rowing out to sea in

a good rowboat and you clear the waves but the rowboat springs a

leak and starts to take on water, gets heavier and heavier with

water, the waves start to threaten your boat, you got two options,

one or two options. Are you going to bail out the boat or are you

going to fix the leak? You are going to bail out the boat and then

you are going to fix the leak. So for people who are sick, get this

stuff out of their tissues, out of the tissue burden first and then send

them to somebody who can safely effectively and maybe slowly

remove the amalgam.

So this was my belief and as my, I guess, cause right now is to

begin to take people who have a wide circle of trust like your

patients do and a good and make them even better practitioners. So

I want to thank you very much for having me on tonight Ron and

I'd be happy to talk some other time.

So this is where you can get more information on the in-office oral

testing and detoxification program for clinicians. You can actually

order the Doctor’s Data test kits and get to DMPS with instructions

in the kit for sale at your office. It's very easy. Just hand the patient

the box and say go and pee for three hours after being fish free for

three days and then when they come back in the red or the yellow

zone then you can send them out with the 30-day MercOut

Mercurialism

treatment program. And we just from our own, we could probably

go through 30 or 40 MercOut treatments a month in our center if

not more, actually probably more if (inaudible) (00:54:21) is

listening she’d probably say yeah more and we certainly test

probably 15 to 20 people a week for mercury.

Ron: Awesome, great. I really appreciate that was a wonderful

presentation, very…

Dr. Dooley: Look at that, 9 o'clock, how about that time.

Ron: It was…

Dr. Dooley: I didn't even see the clock.

Ron: No you did great, did awesome. Listen Doctor thank you so much.

Everyone, again if you have any questions go ahead and write your

questions in the box, I'll keep this open for a minute or two and I'll

send those questions to Dr. Dooley. Thank you again. I know I'm

repeating myself but I want to thank you so much for your time. I

appreciate it doctor.

Dr. Dooley: My pleasure. Take care everybody. God bless.

Ron: Take care, bye-bye.
