and heavy metals chelation & the return to health

The following information on lead and lymphoma/leukemia has been compiled, excerpted and translated by Healing Cancer Naturally from
a German lecture held in April 2003 by Dietrich Klinghardt M.D., Ph.D. at the ETH Zurich. It is provided here as one example of the possible (but not "obligatory"!) relationship between cancerous
disease and heavy metals. Dr. med. Klinghardt specialises in effective holistic heavy metal detoxification as a road to achieving perfect health.
“Several years ago, in 1997 or so, an epidemiological study was
conducted comparing the lead content in the bones of people who died c. 400-500 years ago to that found in ‘contemporary’ skeletons. The lead content in our bones was established to be 500-1000 times
higher than that found 400 years ago. 500-1000 times! We know the damage done by lead poisoning. On the one hand, it very much affects the brain, the mental development in children,
particularly their intellectual development will be considerably impeded. In the bones, lead poisoning gives rise to a malfunction in the formation of blood, hence leukaemias, anaemias,
lymphomas, all the tumours involving the hematopoietic system play a part here. I’ve treated four lymphoma patients over the last 10 years with nothing but DMPS injections (this was before I learned about all the
other ways to chelate heavy metals). Simply by removing the heavy metals, all four of them were healed. Having demonstrated these results before larger national congresses, I am always surprised that
this therapy won’t catch on and is taking that long to eventually gain acceptance.
The lead stems from the times when petrol (gas) was still being leaded. Even oil and latex paint used to be leaded. Nowadays
regulations are trying to minimize this and have removed the lead from the gas. To prevent engine knocking, a number of chemicals were added instead, which are extremely carcinogenic. In other
words, out of the frying pan into the fire, switching from a neurotoxin to a carcinogen. This can also be shown on a graph. There is a graph in the US which clearly shows the dramatic rise in
cancer incidence following the removal of lead from the gas.”
* DMPS is a sulphuric substance that strongly binds heavy metals, see explanations
given by Dr. Klinghardt at effective holistic heavy metal detoxification.
