Key Moments

Mercury detox via glutathione, not chelation

Dr. Shade developed an alternative to IV chelation by binding metals in the GI tract and upregulating the glutathione transport system.

"I shifted my thinking to how do I normalize the GI tract and get the metals to go down in there? I developed the first product based on binding up all the metals in the GI tract."

Oral liposomal detox replaces IV chelation

A three-part oral system of GI binders, enzyme upregulators, and liposomal glutathione achieves IV chelation-level detox at home.

"When we put these into the right liposomes and take them orally, you're able to get the kind of detoxification that you would normally get with IV-based EDTA."

R-lipoic acid: 10-50mg is plenty for detox

R-lipoic acid powerfully upregulates detox at just 10-50mg daily. High-dose NAC can recirculate methylmercury to the brain.

"Lipoic acid is really strong for upregulating the system, but be gentle with it. You don't need several hundred milligrams, especially if you use an R-lipoic acid."
