Whew, thought it was going to be ‘Banthene’ for a minute there.

I expected to see Paragoric Acid revealed as the miracle cure. Be hard to convince some people otherwise, anyway.

[Squantos]

LOL !

It might not help but you won't care.

Unlimited technology from the whole universe, and he was driving around in a Ford POS. /rimshot!

chelation ..... that process I know due past exposures when active duty. Is this the path they seek to remove metal from the body to reduce or reverse the effects ??

[decimon]

Maybe ol’ Rip would have been less ripped if on clioquinol?

[SunkenCiv]

He probably would have been alright if he hadn’t been out that last galactic standard year.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Is Clioquinol legally being prescribed anymore?

[MHGinTN]

Probably not on open script, just as a research exclusion.

Basically, yes, but it can have adverse effects too. You don't want to take Cipro and drink milk or eat food containing calcium. IIRC, the Cipro chelates the calcium interfering with absorption.

chelation therapy the use of a chelating agent to remove toxic metals from the body, used in the treatment of heavy metal poisoning. In complementary medicine, also used for the treatment of atherosclerosis and other disorders.

Dorland's has entries for chelate, chelating agent and chelation also. I recommend saving it to your Favorites in your toolbar.

It comes as an antifungal cream or ointment.

There is another old stomach drug used in anti-aging cosmetics now, teprenone. I think there is another one also.
