TREATING CHEMICAL INJURY: STEP BY STEP

Basic Steps to get started

Because of your inflammation, begin dilute and increase gradually as able. Irritation means you need more dilution, not an “allergy”. You were born with all of the nebulizer/nasal and most of the oral substances listed below. As healing progresses, your body will be ready for more of each substance.

    1. Take buffered vitamin C twice daily building up to 1 gram/per dose. Test with Perque C strips (800-806-8671), using first morning urine. Blue strip should turn white. If any irritation, start with small pinch in water/food, work up gradually.

    2. Use 1 Ultimate E (Thorne) or Xcellent E (Xymogen) WITH FOOD (contains 200 IU gamma tocopherol). If needed, puncture gelcap, begin with 1-2 drops mixed with food and increase as able.

    3. Use taurine 1-2 capsules mid evening to help fall asleep and/or 1-2 at bedtime to help night awakening.

    4. Use AeronebGo nebulizer: (evomedical.com). Use water (or saline) alone first time. Nebulize at least twice daily, more often with exposure, when sicker or to get better faster).

    5. Add 2 droppers of water to nebulizer first, then add 1 drop concentrated specialized vitamin B12 (hydroxocobalamine) in nebulizer. Never put B12 in first. For 5 mg strength dilute with 5-10 drops or more of water in extra small brown bottle. Gradually increase to 5 mg full strength.

    6. Some people need folic acid in a 2 to 5 ratio with B12, e.g. automic nervous system symptoms (internal organs). Folic acid also scavenges aldehydes (formaldehyde, etc.). Scientific Botanicals Company, (206) 527-5521, sells Folarinse (folic acid) drops you can try.

  • Make your own nasal spray to help prevent and stop reactions. Use 1 drop of strength used for nebulizer with ½ to 1 dropper water or saline. Spray every few seconds until symptoms clear using strength you are sure is okay for your nasal use. Use frequently during day to slow down vicious biochemical cycle causing body inflammation. B12 is stable without refrigeration: carry nasal spray with you to stop reactions.
  • 7. If you have Rx for glutathione, also add 1 drop glutathione to 2 droppers of water. If any irritation, dilute further to below irritation level. Let healing proceed and increase concentration gradually, staying below irritation level.

    8. If okay increase glutathione (using with B12) add 2 drops, then 3, then 4, etc. until you can use glutathione without water. If you have irritation (coughing, etc.) reduce dose below irritation level until more healing, then slowly increase again.

    9. Begin NSP capsules with food in the stomach: one with a meal for a few days, then one with a second meal for a few days, then one with third meal. If any irritation, open capsule and begin with a pinch in food, increasing gradually to full capsule. After 1-2 weeks slowly increase to 2 with meals. Then after a few more weeks gradually use up to 3 with meals. If any irritation, the amount is too much for your level of inflammation, reduce and wait to increase until more healing. As you increase NSP you can gradually reduce/omit extra C. Test for vitamin C adequacy periodically with Perque C strips.

    10. When you can use glutathione full strength, gradually increase concentration with pharmacy, e.g. 30mg/ml, 60mg/ml, etc.

    11. With exposures, use nasal spray frequently and nebulize more often until symptoms clear.  You can increase vitamin C, E, tocotrienols, bioflavinoids.  Glutathione can also be used as a nasal spray at least as dilute as the dilution you are using for nebulizing at that time.

      + If you have symptoms within an hour of nebulizing, discontinue. Then for mild symptoms dilute further. Then go up more gradually. Worse inflammation may require more dilute amounts. For more than mild symptoms, contact the pharmacy or Dr. Ziem. Keep airtight, protected from light, keep nebulizer ingredients refrigerated. Hydroxocobalamine (e.g. nasal) can/should be carried with you when away form home: it is not damaged by room temperature.

      +Bioactive folate is L-5-methyl tetrahydrofolate (e.g. Thorne 5 MTHF; Metagenics Folapro). It helps neurologic function.

Sinus/Ear Congestion Nebulizer Technique (AeronebGo nebulizer)

    a. Breathe in through your mouth while holding tips of nostrils closed.

    b. Hold breath several seconds, still holding nostrils. Use other hand to close back slits of nebulizer so vapor enters sinuses. Breathe out through nose.

    c. For migraines/neurologic symptoms, try nebulizing partly by nose. Close one nostril, breathe in other nostril (with nipple or “elbow” shaped connector). Then use other nostril as desired.

Nebulizer Cleaning

Clean immediately after use. Take apart, rinse well with water, air dry. To prevent nebulizer malfunction, use immediately after filling. Also run water through nebulizer to unclog/clear filter immediately after cleaning and following each use.

Dr. Ziem will be happy to talk to your doctor regarding this protocol.

Diet is Important

The foods you consume have an effect on the repair of your body from chemical injury. Eating the right foods will speed the healing process. Eat organic foods as often as you can. Learn what to eat, how to prepare and eat it, and why certain foods are better for healing than others on the Eating for Healing page.
