The Biochemistry of Oxidative Stress | Boyd Haley, PhD, MIAOMT

The Biochemistry of Oxidative Stress and The Use of Chelators to Treat this Medical Condition Which is a Symptom of Most Medical Illnesses | Boyd Haley, PhD, MIAOMT (pre-recorded)

IAOMT Spring Conference in Sarasota, FL
March 12-13, 2021

Learning Objectives:

1. To demonstrate the absolute requirement for an unbound redox metal (e.g., Fe2+, Cu+) to transfer an electron to oxygen produce oxygen anion which is used to produce hydroxyl free radicals the “toxic product” that produces oxidative stress by damaging natural compounds.
2. To show how these redox metals are moved from stable native binding sites to being in unbound form and able to support catalytic hydroxyl free radical formation and induce oxidative stress.
3. To recognize that oxidative stress occurs intra-cellularly and that chelation of the redox metals involved in producing them requires that the chelator be able to pass the cell membrane.

Dr. Boyd Haley obtained his MS in Chemistry at the University of Idaho and his PhD in Chemistry/Biochemistry at Washington State University. He was appointed as Chair and Professor of Chemistry from 1996 to 2005 at the University of Kentucky. He retired in July 2008. He has lectured throughout the world and testified before Congressional Committees and the Institute of Medicine regarding various aspects of mercury toxicity and neurological diseases. In the past six years, he has dedicated most of his research efforts towards the development of a safe and effective chelator for mercury, lead, cadmium and other toxic heavy metals.
