vary in price, but some of the simpler methods, such as skin<br />

brushing, are very affordable and should be performed daily.<br />

Most patients choose one aggressive oral supplement <strong>to</strong><br />

complement a well chosen diet, and use several different skin<br />

methods, alternating them from day <strong>to</strong> day.<br />

Supplements<br />

There are dozens of oral supplements for the more aggressive<br />

de<strong>to</strong>x. Ads for these de<strong>to</strong>x products can be found in the DAMS<br />

newsletter and in most natural health magazines. Every year<br />

new oral supplements are placed on the market, adding <strong>to</strong> the<br />

rapidly-growing industry of de<strong>to</strong>xification products.<br />

The most notable entry in<strong>to</strong> the de<strong>to</strong>x market, introduced in<br />

the summer of 2008 is OSR, (Oxidative Stress Relief). Its<br />

developer, Dr. Boyd Haley, is widely admired because he has<br />

tirelessly spoken out on the health hazards of mercury and the<br />

need <strong>to</strong> ban it in dentistry and medicine. OSR is classified as a<br />

food supplement and not a drug; it makes no claims <strong>to</strong> treat,<br />

prevent or cure any disease or illness. But it is an excellent antioxidant<br />

that has been shown <strong>to</strong> boost the body‟s level of<br />

glutathione, an important natural de<strong>to</strong>xifier of mercury and other<br />

<strong>to</strong>xic metals, and is able <strong>to</strong> scavenge dangerous free radicals,<br />

such as the hydroxyl radical.<br />

Prior <strong>to</strong> its being marketed, OSR was extensively tested on<br />

animals and was found <strong>to</strong> be very safe and non-<strong>to</strong>xic. Unlike<br />

drugs such as DMPS or DMSA, OSR does not deplete the body of<br />

zinc or other essential trace minerals. Use in humans has also<br />

shown that OSR is safe and beneficial. OSR is currently being<br />

marketed <strong>to</strong> physicians and other health care professionals, but<br />

not directly <strong>to</strong> the consumer. <strong>Health</strong>care professionals may<br />

order OSR <strong>by</strong> e-mailing the company CTI Science at<br />

behaley@ctiscience.com. Will OSR become a new leader in the<br />

field of de<strong>to</strong>x supplements? It is still very new and more time is<br />

needed <strong>to</strong> allow us <strong>to</strong> evaluate its clinical value.<br />
