Can MME prevent future problems?
The answer to this important question is at present a theoretical one (in the future we will have facts, as we follow MME patients over time). If an organ system is dysfunctional due to accumulation of a toxin (such as Mercury in cardiomyopathy or Lead in kidney disease), then clearance of the toxin with MME would be expected to attenuate the disease process that damaged the organ in the first place, reducing the risk of future problems in that organ system. On the other hand, we cannot expect MME carried out at one point to prevent future damage or future problems if exposure to the toxin continues (if your diabetic neuropathy symptoms improve with MME but your sugar values remain out of control, we can’t expect MME to prevent further sugar-related damage to your nerves and a recurrence of your neuropathy symptoms). Of course, we can, we should, and we will work with you to deal with the factors that caused the disease state under treatment to develop in the first place.
