Detoxification
Seagreens® are effective through 4 principal modes of action namely:
Seagreens® Food Capsules contain all the antioxidants and important ‘detoxification’ nutrients like zinc, magnesium, selenium, molybdenum as well as all the other minerals and trace elements, enzymes, amino-acids and important compound nutrients. Dr Robert Gray, the colon cleansing specialist, regards wild wrack as an excellent mucotropic herb (anti-mucous) to cleanse the lymphatic system, and to:
“loosen, soften or dissolve hardened, stagnant or impacted mucoid in the body”... "It has been shown that a diet consisting solely of generous quantities of every known nutrient cannot maintain health. This is because whole foods contain many valuable nutrients not yet isolated or discovered by laboratory science. By taking supplements, we can only get the advantage of a fraction of what the body needs to maintain health" (113).
The polysaccharides in Seagreens® including mannuronic acid, laminarin and fucoidin, are the subject of continuing research for anticancer and antitumor compounds. They have been shown to bind and remove barium, cadmium, lead and mercury (21). “...reduce absorption of strontium, barium, tin, cadmium, manganese, zinc, and mercury’ (114). In the 1960s Japanese scientists showed that radioactive strontium in the gut is converted to an insoluble salt which is excreted.
Nature published a report showing that wrack seaweed inhibits the body’s absorption of radioactive strontium and cadmium by up to 7/8ths the dose received. It also removed Strontium 90 already absorbed through the gut wall and deposited in body tissues and bone. Other papers on this research (20, 22, 23). Mercury remains the largest ingredient in amalgam dental fillings - at around 500mg per filling, as much as in a thermometer:
“...a colossal amount of mercury in scientific terms...a teenager with 6 amalgam fillings has 6 mercury thermometers in her mouth” (79).
Following use at the Brompton Health & Dental Clinic in London throughout 2001, Seagreens® Food Capsules were approved by the President of the British Society for Mercury-Free Dentistry, the late Dr J. G. Levenson (28) and may be dispensed by member clinics and nutritional therapists for post-operative detoxification in amalgam extraction and for general purposes of detoxification. Trials have yet to be carried out but empirical evidence is good after more than five years in dental nutrition (95).
Dr Levenson’s protocol:3 capsules daily (1 with each meal) commencing 5 days before the first treatment, up to 6 capsules on the day/s of treatment and for at least 8 weeks following the completion of treatment, dropping to 3 - 4 capsules daily (1 - 2 morning and 1 - 2 evening) and finally to the normal daily intake of 2 capsules daily over at least the next 12 - 24 months.
Seagreens® is enitrely compatible with additional complementary herbs, drugs or supplements which may be used, particularly during the month surrounding the treatment/s, according to patient circumstances and test results.
“Alginate binds to all heavy metals including lead, mercury, cadmium, cobalt, copper and radium and should be consumed over at least a 4 month period to expedite removal of toxic substances stored in the body” - Dr L. Gordin, Cambridge, Massachusetts.
As long ago as 1996 the Canadian government recommended that children and pregnant women should not be given amalgam fillings. In 1999 the United States Public Health Service’s Agency for Toxic Substances & Disease Registry stated that mercury passes through the placenta into the unborn brain, and a separate report stated that mercury passes to the baby in the mother’s milk.
They further confirmed that poisonous vapours from dental mercury go first to the brain and kidneys (79). Since the late 1999 the use of dental mercury in Sweden has not been subsidised and its use has almost ceased. An outright ban remains on the political agenda.
In the USA in 2003 a Bill was before Congress to ban amalgam fillings within 5 years. Dr Levenson (President, British Society for Mercury Free Dentistry) has written a comprehensive account based on observations of more than 6000 patients (83) and the British Society for Mercury-Free Dentistry holds regular conferences to raise awareness of the issues and report the latest research.
There is a substantial and consistent body of international research, particularly Russian, on the stable curative effects of wild Wrack seaweed extracts in radiation sickness. Seagreens® was included in the diet of child victims of the Chernobyl disaster in 2003.
Iodine of which Seagreens® is an ideal natural source, at about 400µg per gram in the Seagreens® Food Capsules and Seagreens® Food Granules used in mercury detoxification protocols, also clearly has an important role, as has been observed in iodine supplementation research.
“The results obtained... revealed that in some subjects, the urine levels of mercury, lead, and cadmium increased by several times after just one day of supplementation. For aluminium, this increased excretion was not observed usually until after one month or more on the iodine supplementation.” Furthermore, this author’s research in orthoiodosupplementation achieved “increased urinary excretion of the goitrogens fluoride and bromide (122, 123).
