OSR, Emeramide, Irminex, NBMI – Heavy Metal Chelator

These are all names for the same product.

It is developed by Dr Boyd Haley as a safe heavy metal chelator. Officially it is currently available for compassionate use only while it gets FDA approval. Dr Haley’s website:

There are also unofficial forums like on facebook that are obtaining it (one only has to google the product to find who else sells it). Boyd does not recommend buying it from these medical companies but people are, and getting results. All sorts of claims are being made, both good and bad, but this what I have learned about it:

  • because anyone has access to it (if they are willing to spend approx $400 to $700+ a month at full dose) people take too little or too much and also some are not heavy metal toxic, so you can imagine all the comments when really no one can prove if and how badly they are toxic and what is the correct dose for them. This puts the potentially effective product at risk of never making to to mainstream use. So please do your homework and be very careful both discussing and consuming it.
  • For sulphur sensitive people who have been severely toxic for many years, a normal dose (100mgs x 3 per day, so 300mgs) can make you feel much much worse. A much lower starting dose and a molybdenum supplement should help with this. Some people are using micro scales and starting at 1mg per day and building up.
  • OSR is lipophilic meaning it can cross the blood brain barrier and basically get everywhere and anywhere metals are hiding. Metals are bound very tightly and then excreted over time via the bowel.
  • My assumption is that because OSR also increases glutathione inside the cell, it causes toxins to be pushed out of the cell. This is good but if there isn’t enough OSR to bind to the metals then we can fell very shitty. This is my take on it I could be wrong.
  • OSR has a supposed half life of 24 hours so taking it once a day should be fine. BUT, some people seem to get what feel like redistribution symptoms after say 18 hours so find taking it more often is better. This all still very experimental so a careful approach is needed.
  • I also think that for the chronic cases, when OSR does bind and remove a metal it does disrupt the balance of that cell and it can take a while for us to recover. So there most likely will be side effects that should be able to be managed with supplements, low dosing to start, a very nutritious diet and enough rest.
  • 2 weeks cycles are recommended but once again this can be personalized. Some do a 3 day round Andy Cutler style, and also take the core four supplements – Vitamin C, magnesium, Zinc and Vitamin E. There is no standard protocol as yet. Dr Boyd Haley has taken over 100mgs every day for years but someone else may not tolerate a single dose at 5mg.

I dearly hope that this product does what it says it does and therefore will help so many people who are suffering. It is SO much easier than doing the old school chelation with DMSA, DMPS and ALA, particularly for the more severe cases. It’s just going to take some time and experimentation to work out some protocols.
