Pfeiffer Protocol Explained

Metallothionein (MT) and Heavy Metal Detoxification

Metallothioneins are proteins whose purpose are to metabolise and regulate metals. There are at least ten known closely related metallothionein proteins expressed in the human body. In humans, large quantities are synthesized primarily in the liver and kidneys, however they have been found at a number of other sites as well. Its production is dependent on availability of the dietary minerals zinc and selenium, and the amino acids histidine and cysteine.

In a 2001 presentation to the American Psychiatric Association, Dr. William J. Walsh of the Pfeiffer Treatment Center

suggested a potential link between metallotionein disorders and autism. Walsh concluded

"The absence of Cu and Zn homeostasis and severe Zn deficiency are suggestive of a

metallothionein (MT) disorder. MT functions include neuronal development, detoxification of

heavy metals, and immune response. Many classic symptoms of autism may be explained by a MT

defect in infancy including G.I. tract problems, heightened sensitivity to toxic metals, and abnormal

behaviors. These data suggest that an inborn error of MT functioning may be a fundamental cause

of autism."

Mammals possess genes for four subfamilies of metallothionein, the ubiquitous MT-1 and MT-2, the brain specific MT-3 and the squamous epithelium specific MT-4.

MT kills Candida, and helps regulate bacterial levels in the mucosa. A genetic metallothionein weakness is consistent with:

1. Casein/glutenintolerance,

2. Presenceofdense,undevelopedbraincellsevidentinautopsystudies,

3. Hypersensitivity to mercury & other toxic metals,

4. Highautismincidenceafterthalidomide,

5. Hypersensitivitytovaccines,

6. Poorimmunefunction,

7. Lowstomachacid,

8. Higherincidenceinmales,

9. Taste/texture sensitivities,

10.Tendency for yeast overgrowth, 11.Leaky gut,
12.Behaviour problems

Measurements of MT-levels, as well as zinc, have been used to indicate zinc deficiency. MT increases rapidly after zinc supplementation and decreases if the diet is deficient in zinc. The zinc from plasma proteins begins to be used up when the body stores are depleted. When plasma zinc levels are below 33 mcg/dL, skin-rash, abdominal pain, diarrhea, loss of appetite and a reduced sense of taste and smell can occur.
