Surviving the Toxic Immune Syndrome

 

Most of the causes of disease are actually within your control, says

this bold California clinic. So when you rid your body of toxins, avoid

medical interventions, and change how you live and eat, you could find

yourself healthier than ever.

 

 

Dr. William Kellas

At Comprehensive Health Centers,our focus is to help our patients get

their lives back on track by getting to the root causes of their

illness. The idea for this approach evolved out of the medical problems

I (William Kellas) faced in my twenties when I developed a crippling

autoimmune disease called ankylosing spondylitis.

 

At the time, my doctors told me I would probably remain in a wheelchair

the rest of my life. I refused to accept this verdict and immediately

started to search for answers.

 

I had all my mercury amalgam fillings removed; I flushed all the

parasites out of my intestines;

 

I did chelation therapy to remove the mercury from my system;

 

I had my dental bite balanced; I had whiplash and nose injury problems

corrected.

 

It took me about 10 years to regain my health, but that's because I had

to piece it all together on my own. Now that we know what's required, we

can produce the same results in our patients in less than a year.

 

My study of healing methods for myself led me to the philosophy of our

clinic: always look for the root, underlying cause of any illness.

 

Along the way, I met other practitioners with health problems who were

similarly searching for alternative methods of healing.

 

" We fit in where our patients want to be, because all of our doctors or

their families were also once patients, " says Gary Shima, M.D., our

medical director.

 

 

A COMPREHENSIVE VIEW OF ILLNESS

 

Our principle is this: What you don't see may be sinking your ship. This

ship, of course, is your body and health. Disease occurs after your

immune system breaks down; this happens as the result of an onslaught of

toxic suppressors and the accumulation of biochemical deficiencies, all

of which allow unwanted microorganisms to invade and flourish in the

body. The result is chronic illness, which we define as a health problem

you've had for 120 days or more.

 

Have you already been to doctors and heard them say, " You're not really

sick, " yet you know you're not well? Most chronic patients we see have

consulted at least 10 physicians and still haven't received lasting

help. Getting to the root causes rather than just aiming for relief is

the main characteristic of comprehensive health care and the only way to

get real help.

 

" Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, " " Biological Dentistry " .

 

 

There are many steps on a patient's road to bad health.

 

We call these cumulative steps " primary toxic suppressors. "

 

They include such factors as mercury dental amalgams, chemical toxins,

surgeries, electromagnetic radiation, poor nutrition, and structural

problems.

 

These in turn adversely affect the immune system,

 

the key to your body's optimal functioning, and produce what we call the

Toxic Immune Syndrome.

 

This is an overall multifaceted condition of weakness and susceptibility

that sets up a domino effect of poor health.

 

Here's how it works.

 

HEALTH RETURNS IN BABY STEPS

 

Our philosophy is that chronic degenerative disease, which takes years

to develop and show its effects, is best prevented and treated by

comprehensivehealth care, along the lines outlined above. Our patient

care is coordinated with all our different practitioners, who share a

similar philosophy of healing and who have equal access to the patient

charts and test results.

 

Comprehensive health care removes the obstacles to the body's natural

healing processes, but it's important to remember that healing usually

occurs as a series of " baby steps. " As it took a long time to reach your

present state of ill health, it will probably take some months, possibly

years, to restore it completely. Even so, we are getting dramatic

improvements in people with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and multiple

sclerosis in less than a year.

 

 

 

 

THE 6 STEPS TO HEALING

 

1. Eliminate the intake of toxins and cleanse all toxic suppressors from

the body.

 

First, you must stop bombing your body with more toxins.

 

Toxic suppressors can include heavy metals (mercury, aluminum, cadmium,

copper, lead, arsenic, nickel); chemicals (carcinogens, fluoride,

chlorine, food additives); and radiation (electromagnetic, microwave,

nuclear, solar, x-rays, computer screens).

 

They can also include ingested hormones,

steroids, drugs,

alcohol, toxic water,

caffeine, processed foods,

inhaled or absorbed pesticides,

perfume, smog,

nicotine from cigarettes,

noise, and stress.

 

 

 

" Heavy Metal Toxicity, " " Cadmium Toxicity, " " Chemical Poisoning " .

 

 

You have to rearrange your lifestyle to stop the flow of toxins into

your body through faulty diet and environmental exposure.

 

The toxic suppressors must be eliminated before other natural

approaches will have much permanent effect.

 

 

 

2. Detoxify the body and unblock detoxification pathways.

 

Even though you have reduced the entry of new toxins into your body,

 

old toxins are still in your bloodstream,

lymph nodes, and organs.

 

See " Ask the Physician, " Digest,No.

7. See " Move Your Lymph, " this issue.

 

 

Our treatments involve chelation therapy (to remove metals from the

blood);

intravenous vitamin C (to detoxify the blood);

sauna (to remove chemicals);

and detoxification diets (toremove allergens and yeast-supporting

conditions).

 

We also prescribe fasting,

organ flushes, enzymes,

amino acids, physical therapy,

lymph drainage,

constitutional water therapy (to cleanse the lymph system), exercise,

and colonics,

and provide counseling for patient's emotional and spiritual issues.

 

See " Detoxification Therapy " in the AlternativeMedicine.com Yellow

Pages.

" Colon Therapy, " " Detoxification Therapy " .

 

 

3. Provide the body with biochemical and nutritional support.

 

Now that the cleansing is completed, it's time to support your body's

natural restoration and defense.

 

To support the body's biochemistry, we prescribe minerals, enzymes,

vitamins, pure water, oxygen therapy, amino acids, herbs, and essential

fatty acids.

 

" Diet, " " Nutritional Supplements, " " Orthomolecular Medicine, " " Oxygen

Therapy, " , 412-421.

 

 

4. Align and rebalance all body structures.

 

We use chiropractic, osteopathy,

and dental work to rebalance the nervous system;

trigger points to realign the electrical system;

gamma globulin, cyclic AMP,

transfer factor, allergy antigens,

 

and low dosage immunotherapy to support the immune system;

 

Feldenkrais, soft tissue and lymph manipulation, and craniosacral work

to rebalance the muscles and their movements.

 

We emphasize how important dental work is to this process.

 

When you rebalance the bite and remove the toxins from the mouth, you

have

already won 60% of the detoxification " battle. "

 

" Bodywork " .

 

See " Feldenkrais, " pp. 126-130; " Rolfing, " pp. 211-214.

 

 

5. Eliminate harmful microorganisms and disease-producing parasites from

the body.

 

Once the primary suppressors and toxins are removed from your

environment and your body, it's time to go after the secondary

suppressors, or opportunistic microorganisms.

 

Harmful microbial organisms within your system, such as bacteria, worms,

protozoans, fungi, parasites, and viruses must be flushed out. We've

found that certain conventional drugs(Flagdyl and Fasigyn) work best, in

conjunction with tetracycline, acidophilus, and sometimes an herbal

formula and/or bismuth gel, given over a 21-day intensive program.

 

In addition, you must kill the parasites outside the body, in the skin,

under the nails, and in the hair; for this we use iodine baths taken

every 5 days.

 

See " Parasites-Unwelcome Visitors in Your Body, " Digest, No. 7.

 

 

6. Rebuild, restore, and regenerate the health of the body's

interrelated systems.

 

The key to achieving this step is to strengthen the immune system.

 

Here we use " probiotics " (beneficial microorganisms) such as acidophilus

and bifidus.

 

We also provide emotional counseling to help fortify the patient's

psychological attitude during the process to accept the healing and to

rework a new way of looking at themselves and life.

 

" Parasitic Infections " . See " Probiotics: The Friendly Bacteria " .

 

 

blood:

 

is classified into 4 blood types or groups according to the presence of

type A and type B antigens on the surface of red blood cells.

 

These antigens are also called agglutinogens and pertain to the blood

cells' ability to agglutinate, or clump together.

 

Type O blood (containing neither type) is found in 47% of the Caucasian

population; type A, 41%; type B, 9%; type AB, 3%.

 

Another form of blood grouping is according to Rh-positive and

Rh-negative types, based on the distribution of 6 different Rh antigens.

 

 

chelation therapy: refers to a method of binding up ( " chelating " ) toxins

(e.g. heavy metals) and metabolic wastes and removing them from the body

while at the same time increasing blood flow and removing arterial

plaque.

 

One type of chelation therapy involves the chelating agent disodium EDTA

given as an intravenous infusion over a 31/2 hour period.

Usually 20 to 30 treatments are administered at the rate of 1 to 3

sessions per week. Chelation therapy is especially beneficial for all

forms of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease including angina

pectoris and coronary artery disease.
