December 2, 2024 ADEQ  contacted Dr. Sina, “Thank you for your inquiry sent to Tina and Hazel below. A community update will be going out soon with a more thorough update on the status of the Preliminary Investigation (PI). However, I can share that we are going back to do more sampling in certain areas indicated by the previous results as needing more focused investigation. We will also be collecting additional background samples and appreciate the input on potential background locations. The additional sampling and background sampling will include aluminum. We look forward to sharing more information on the air monitoring, PI, and air permitting in the community update very soon.”

Toxic burden refers to the accumulation of harmful substances (toxins) in the body over time, which may affect health if the body cannot effectively detoxify and eliminate them.

These toxins can come from:

• Environmental pollutants (e.g., air pollution, pesticides, heavy metals
• Processed foods and additives
• Household and personal care products (e.g., cleaning agents, cosmetics)
• Medications or recreational drugs
• Metabolic byproducts (natural toxins produced by the body itself)

A high toxic burden can overwhelm the body’s detoxification systems (mainly the liver, kidneys, skin, lungs, and lymphatic system), potentially leading to symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, skin issues, digestive problems, hormone imbalances, or increased disease risk. Environmental burden can also cause changes in the biome of the body leading to overgrowth of organisms that then tips the scale to illness.  Environmental burden plays a role in all detox cleansing programs.

Every weight loss program should have a component of detox support! Why do you ask? Well fat is the greatest depository of your toxins. If you are shrinking fat without detoxing, you will surely be reabsorbing a lot of what you just dumped from the cells. 20 + years ago early in my career I treated patients with HCG doing Simeons Protocol which is a rapid weight loss program roughly 1 lb per day! I did the first round with my patients to get a sense of how it worked. I got so sick and immediately realized it was toxins. Today our toxic burden is much higher. Detox is essential!

A Fresh Start for Your Health and Well-being

At Breakthrough Medicine, we offer Cleansing Programs designed to help you detoxify, rejuvenate, and restore your body to its natural state of balance and vitality. Over time, environmental toxins, poor dietary choices, and stress can accumulate, leaving you feeling sluggish, fatigued, and out of sync with your body. Our cleansing programs are specifically designed to help you flush out toxins, boost energy levels, and improve overall health—helping you feel your best inside and out.

Whether you’re looking to detoxify after a period of indulgence, reset your metabolism, or simply improve your general health, our programs offer comprehensive solutions that focus on cleansing, nourishing, and rebalancing your body.

What Our Cleansing Programs Include

Comprehensive Detoxification Plan

Labs are recommended but never required unless you are doing an advanced detox protocol like chelation therapy. Labs are very helpful and highly recommended to guide progress.

“Our cleansing programs start with a personalized detoxification plan that is tailored to your unique needs and health goals. We assess your current health status, lifestyle, and any underlying conditions to determine the best approach to help you effectively eliminate toxins and restore balance.”

Before attempting a detox program all routes of elimination must be optimized!

“Focusing on supporting your body’s natural detox systems, including the liver, kidneys, digestive system, and skin, with safe, science-backed protocols designed to flush out harmful substances without putting unnecessary strain on your body.”

Nutritional Support

• “Nutrition plays a critical role in cleansing and detoxification. Our cleansing programs include personalized dietary recommendations that are nutrient-rich and designed to support your body during the detox process. We focus on anti-inflammatory foods, high-fiber options, and alkaline-forming foods that promote detoxification and help restore optimal function.”
• “We also recommend specific superfoods and supplements to support liver function, digestive health, and detox pathways. Our goal is to nourish your body with nutrient-dense, clean foods that aid in the detoxification process while providing lasting energy.”

Gut Health Optimization

• “Cleansing isn’t just about eliminating toxins; it’s also about improving your gut health, which is essential for overall well-being. Our programs include strategies to improve digestive function, reduce gut inflammation, and promote a healthy balance of gut bacteria.”
• “We often incorporate probiotics, digestive enzymes, and fiber-rich foods to optimize digestion and support healthy elimination, ensuring that your body can effectively process and expel toxins.”

Mind-Body Practices

• “Cleansing is not just a physical process; it’s also a mental and emotional one. We include mind-body practices like meditation, yoga, deep breathing, and journaling to help you release emotional stress, improve mental clarity, and support emotional balance during your cleanse.”
  “We believe that cleansing is a holistic process, and nurturing your emotional well-being plays a key role in achieving optimal results. These practices will help you stay calm, focused, and centered throughout the detoxification process.”

• Breakthrough Medicine is conveniently located next to Cottonwood Hot Yoga which offers an ancient practice of Hot Vinyasa Flow and Bikaram. This ancient practices of movement Asana and Heat make for a great avenue of passive detox through therapeutic sweat. Combining breath with movement takes you into a state of mind- body healing and release.

Liver and Kidney Support

• “The liver and kidneys are two of your body’s primary detox organs, and our cleansing programs focus on optimizing their function. We include natural liver-supporting herbs, antioxidants, and hydration strategies that help detoxify the body, reduce inflammation, and support long-term liver health.”
• “We also offer kidney-supporting protocols to ensure these vital organs are functioning optimally to help expel toxins and waste from your body.”

Detox Supplements, Homeopathics & Herbal Support

Drainage and binding toxins is essential and is customized for the individual. These natural supplements help to boost detox pathways while supporting your immune system, digestive health, and overall vitality.”

I remember playing with mercury in the lab when I was in my twenties, that was in the 1980s. I dropped and broke a thermometer, and one of the techs came over and said look how cool it rolls around, check it out Shaida. Then our manager walked over and said it is a biohazard to stop touching it!!! She brought a special kit to clean it up. I said to her, if it is so bad for you why did my dentist put it in my mouth as a filling. Mercury is one of the most toxic substances. I can cause cancer, heart disease, renal failure, and brain damage! Dentists are still using this toxic substance as fillings in the United States.

Amalgam

An amalgam also known as a dental filling is primarily made up of  an alloy of mercury (Hg). As this metal filling ages, it can develop cracks which allows for the off gassing of toxics metals into the cranial cavity. Methyl mercury is the vapor that is released as you chew or drink hot acidic beverages.

Common Metals in Amalgams:

The specific metals used in an amalgam depend on the application. Here are a few examples:

Dental Amalgam (used in tooth fillings):

• Mercury (Hg) – ~50% by weight
• Silver (Ag)
• Tin (Sn)
• Copper (Cu)
• Sometimes zinc (Zn) is also present in small amounts

Chelation is the latin word for claw, meaning to pull out. Chelation therapy is a medically supervised treatment designed to facilitate the removal of toxic metals and improve vascular function. At our clinic, we offer  intravenous (IV), oral chelation, and suppository therapy using clinically validated agents, including EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid), DMSA (dimercaptosuccinic acid), and  DMPS (2,3-dimercapto-1-propane sulfonic acid).

How does Chelation Therapy Work?

Chelation therapy involves the use of specific chelating agents that bind to heavy metals and other toxic substances in the bloodstream. Each chelator has a preference for specific metals. Once bound, these complexes are excreted through the urine, reducing the body’s overall toxic burden. This treatment has applications in both acute and chronic heavy metal toxicity, and emerging evidence supports its role in improving endothelial function and vascular health.

At Breakthrough Medicine we test using hair, blood and urine depending on the history of the patient to see what current status of metal burden and how a person is currently excreting metals. A provocation challenge is done to see body burden that is stored not coming out without supportive therapies. This is generally done using chelators.

Clinical Applications

Chelation therapy may be indicated in the following conditions:

• Documented heavy metal toxicity (e.g., lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium)
• Atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, as part of an integrative approach to vascular health
• Cognitive dysfunction, memory impairment, and neurological symptoms associated with metal exposure
• Renal Conditions
• Cancer adjunctive therapy 
• Reduce toxic burden prior to pregnancy 
• Persistent fatigue, mitochondrial dysfunction, and immune dysregulation
• Preventive care and detoxification support in patients with high environmental or occupational exposures

Therapeutic Approach

Our protocol is individualized, based on clinical history, diagnostic testing (such as urine or provoked heavy metal tests), and current symptomatology. Treatment plans may include:

• IV EDTA for vascular support and lead detoxification
• Oral or IV DMSA or DMPS for mercury and mixed-metal detoxification
• Nutritional and antioxidant support to mitigate oxidative stress and support detox pathways
• Monitoring of kidney function, liver enzymes, ferritin, cell counts,  essential mineral levels, and patient response throughout treatment

Chelation is administered under strict medical oversight, with a focus on patient safety, therapeutic efficacy, and long-term wellness.

Is Chelation Therapy Right for You?

If you have known exposure to toxic metals, chronic inflammatory conditions, or cardiovascular disease unresponsive to standard therapies, chelation may be a valuable adjunct to your treatment plan. We invite you to schedule a consultation to determine if this therapy aligns with your health needs.
