Chelation and the Blood Brain Barrier
There is no question that chelation therapy removes lead from the body. That is so well established that even the traditional medical establishment accepts that without question.
But there has been some debate in these circles, for many years, as to whether the chelation process might not cause some toxic metals, such as lead, to be deposited into the brain tissues. It would be a matter of the metals crossing the "blood brain barrier" as a result of the lead being combined with the chelating substance.
In other words, lead in the body, while generally always harmful, would be even more harmful if it were to pass through the blood brain barrier, into the brain. There is a "layer" of special cells that surround the brain, creating a barrier so that the contents of the blood stream cannot get through this barrier and enter the brain. Generally the brain would be much more badly affected than other parts of the body if there were an increased amount of lead in the brain.
The blood brain barrier does not stop everything, but it does stop most things from getting through to the brain.
When the chelating
substances (such as Cysteine, or EDTA or N
Acetyl Cysteine) "bind" to a metal, such as
lead, it is clear that this combination is
then eliminated through the kidneys, into the
urine. Tests for metals in the urine
show dramatic increase when chelation starts.
Critics of chelation therapy, however, are looking for anything they can find to get it removed from medical practice. Why? Because chelation therapy does so much good for the body that many other medical practices (such as bypass) and medical drugs would lose market share! Thus, traditional medicine would be very pleased to be able to show that chelation causes metals, including lead, to cross through the blood brain barrier, into the brain. They would like to claim that this happens even though they admit that the chelation process DOES remove metal from the body through the urine.
In this context, it is important, then, to understand HOW you could measure whether or not metals do cross the blood brain barrier during the chelation process -- if it is true at all. That is the purpose of this page -- to introduce you to this concept and provide links to many scientific studies on the blood brain barrier as it relates to chelation therapy.
