Dalektro N: a remedy that contains homeopathic minerals that normalize regulation of the electrolyte system and stimulate enzyme activity. These minerals also act as vital catalysts that activate profound chemical changes at the cellular level to help return a chronically ill body to health. Dalketro N drops are particularly indicated for treatment of diseases that involve an impaired metabolism, including leukopenia, anemia, thyroid gland afflictions, heart conditions and arteriosclerosis. Dalektro N drops' homeopathic minerals differ from standard mineral supplements by providing a unique stimulant that enables the body to utilize trace elements present in the digestive tract and replace those missing at a cellular level. Reasons for mineral deficiencies may include poor absorption due to intestinal dysbiosis, an impaired mucosal system, bad nutritional habits, self-intoxification through smoking or chronic illness. Dalektro N drops' trace elements also regulate and normalize systemic processes, which in turn enables the body's immune system to address the underlying causes of illnesses. Moreover, this medication helps activate a blocked Mesenchyme (connective tissue), a pathogenic process that can lead to chronic sinusitis, anal fistula and eczema.

Dental Remedies, The Complete Book of: a medical book for lay readers on Dental remedies. Written by a dentist interested in health education, The Complete Book of Dental Remedies fills this gap in health collections. The book contains three sections. The first provides an introduction to oral anatomy, information on choosing a dentist, and basic facts about nutrition, homeopathy, and herbal therapy. The second is a dictionary of dental disorders. Among the subjects covered are cavities, gum disease, dry mouth, eating disorders and tooth problems, and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) as a possible cause of migraines. Entries include a description of the disorder followed by nutritional advice and the conventional, homeopathic, and herbal treatments for it. The author is careful to explain the limits and necessary precautions for alternative therapies and the need for conventional treatments for such conditions as cleft palate and cavities. The third explains dental procedures such as filling and extracting teeth, root canals, fitting dentures, and proper brushing and flossing techniques. A few black-and-white illustrations, a glossary, a brief bibliography, and lists of professional organizations and dental schools complete the text. The information this book provides on alternative treatments and its consumer-oriented approach make it a valuable complementary source and a good addition to consumer-health collections.

detoxification: the body’s own chemical and transport processes that clear tissues of contaminants. The chemical processes metabolize the toxic chemical (xenobiotic) into a form that is more readily excreted. Many of these processes are enzymatic. The enzymes often require cofactors that are derived from essential nutrients.

DHEA: short for "dehydroepiandrosterone," DHEA is the most abundant adrenal steroid hormone in the body. After it is made by the adrenal glands, it travels into cells throughout the body where it is converted into androgens and estrogens. These hormones regulate fat and mineral metabolism, endocrine and reproductive function, and energy levels. The amount of each hormone that DHEA converts to depends on an individual's biochemistry, age, and sex. DHEA levels peak around age 25 and then decline steadily. DHEA supplementation has been associated with increased emotional well-being and immune function.

DMPS: also known as Dimovol, DMPS is a synthetic amino acid chelating agent of toxic heavy metals, which forms a water soluble complex with toxic heavy metals and is believed by many to lead to their removal through the kidneys, liver, gastrointestinal tract. DMPS has been use in West Germany where it has been studied and is available as a commercial drug for the treatment of heavy metal toxicity. Studies in West Germany report safety in animals and humans in the doses given. DMPS does not appear to be toxic. Because DMPS has not been studied in the United States of America, it is considered "experimental" by the FDA. DMPS chelation can be administered either by intravenous (I.V.), intramuscularly (I.M.), or by subcutaneous injection (S.Q.). The preferred administration is via an I.V. "push," pushing about 10 CC of solution. The I.V. push uses a syringe in which the nurse inserts the catheter into the patient’s vein, the catheter is connected with clear tubing to a large syringe containing the DMPS solution, and the patient usually takes charge to slowly push the solution into their vein over about a 20 – 30 minute period of time. In contrast, EDTA chelation is very "hot" to the veins, is mixed usually into a 500 CC solution, and must be administered via a very slow I.V. "drip" which will take about 3 – 4 hours to administer. Possible side effects include: temporary lowering of blood pressure or tackycardia, vertigo, general weakness or paleness 5 – 10 minutes after injection, and infiltration into the soft tissue which may create local itching that can last 30 minutes. Symptoms have been shown to generally be reversible after discontinuation of the drug. Aggravation of the metal related symptoms may result from the mobilization of heavy metals over the following several days after receiving DMPS treatment.

DMSA: the organic mercury species with greatest toxicity are methylmercury compounds, which have a high affinity for the brain and nervous system. DMSA is shown to cross the blood brain barrier and remove mercury from that organ. DMPS is much less effective. DMPS is also 3 times more toxic than DMSA, based on LD-50. Animal studies show DMSA to be almost 3 times more effective than DMPS in removing brain mercury, as tabulated below. DMSA has the added advantage that it is taken by mouth in capsule form. DMPS is usually given by injection.

DMSO (Dimethyl sulfoxide): a by-product of the wood industry, DMSO has been in use as a commercial solvent since 1953. It is also one of the most studied but least understood pharmaceutical agents of our time--at least in the United States. According to Stanley Jacob, MD, a former head of the organ transplant program at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, more than 40,000 articles on its chemistry have appeared in scientific journals, which, in conjunction with thousands of laboratory studies, provide strong evidence of a wide variety of properties. (See Major Properties Attributed to DMSO) Worldwide, some 11,000 articles have been written on its medical and clinical implications, and in 125 countries throughout the world, including Canada, Great Britain, Germany, and Japan, doctors prescribe it for a variety of ailments, including pain, inflammation, scleroderma, interstitial cystitis, and arthritis elevated intercranial pressure. Yet in the United States, DMSO has Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval only for use as a preservative of organs for transplant and for interstitial cystitis, a bladder disease. It has fallen out of the limelight and out of the mainstream of medical discourse, leading some to believe that it was discredited.

drainage remedy: before a condition or disease fully develops, most patients will notice various symptoms. The majority of all symptoms relate directly to a decrease of circulation in the related organ system. Sluggish circulation in any organ tissue builds-up cellular waste (metabolites) in the connective tissue that surrounds the cells. This cellular waste also hinders the absorption of nutrients. For this reason, the first therapeutic step should always be to increase circulation, to clear the pathway to the cells. For example, patients who have a poor diet and do not exercise have sluggish circulation. Here arteriosclerotic plaque build-up is like the waste that accrues at the banks of a slow flowing river. Increased blood flow washes waste away like a fast mountain stream. A clear pathway in the connective tissue guarantees healthy cell growth. Herbs that improve metabolic functions by increasing circulation are called “Drainage Remedies.” A drainage remedy needs to have two main characteristics: it increases circulation in a specific organ system, and it must be biochemically active.
