From autism, infertility, brain damage, hormonal problems, thyroid problems,
low testisterone all th way to cancer, heavy metals are one of the root
causes behind many of the health issues that people face today.

First of all, what diseases do heavy metals cause and what are the signs of
heavy metal toxicity?

Gastrointestinal dysfunction, nervous system disorders, immune system

dysfunction, birth defects and cancer are some examples of the
complications of heavy metals toxic effects.

When we are talking about heavy metals under the detox concept we are
mainly talking about:

-Lead

-Cadmium

-Aluminum

-Mercury

-Arsenic

-Iron

Which can even promote epigenetic alterations including DNA methylation

and histone modification.

Heavy metal number 1: Lead

Lead is a neurotoxin.

A neurotoxin acts on the nervous system and disrupts the normal function of
nerve cells. Lead has been associated with major depression, reduced IQ
and anxiety disorders.

Lead also disturbs the balance of the oxidant-antioxidant system (redox)

and induces inflammatory responses in many organs via direct effect on
membrane lipid peroxidation.

Lead can enter your home in various ways, one of these being your water
line.

So, in order to minimize exposure to lead you should first invest in a water
filter in order to filter the water that you drink and cook your foods in, but you
should filter your showering water.

As we shower, heat opens up our pores allowing trace amounts of toxins to

be absorbed through our skin.

In general, our skin is a sponge and we should be very careful when it

comes to what we put on it.

Then, lead can also be found in coloured ceramic dishes, spices that come
from India and China and food additives.

For reducing blood lead levels the most important things to consume are:

1)Bioavailable calcium (eggshells (if your gut is fine) and raw milk) is well
known to decrease gastrointestinal lead absorption.

2)Thiamine (B1) which is a chelator for most of the heavy metals.

3)Folate (B9) (natural sources)

4)Sulfur rich foods such as onions since heavy metals in general have an
affinity to bind sulfur.

5) Vitamin E.

Note: Lead can also cause anemia, so in case someone’s anemia is not
reactive to the traditional methods of treatment (given that both B vitamin
and vitamin C stores are optimal) there might be an underlying lead
exposure going on.

Heavy metal number 2: Cadmium

Cadmium is classified as a known human carcinogen and causes severe

damage to someone's kidneys and lungs.

In order to avoid the most common sources of cadmium for most people,
ditch grains and pay attention to the tobacco you consume.

Raw milk will help battle a possible cadmium toxicity.

Note: If you are considering using dmsa for heavy metals, please consult
your doctor first and get hair and blood tests to see if you actually have
heavy metal poisoning.

Heavy metal number 3: Aluminum

Aluminum is another neurotoxin which can pass the blood brain barrier very
easily and has been linked with most of the neurological diseases since
oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction cause neurodegeneration.

First of all, get rid of aluminum pots and pans since this can add aluminum
in your food up to 2mg.

The second problem is aluminum based food additives found usually in

baking soda that does not clarify that is aluminum free and some cheeses.

Aluminum can also be found in cosmetic products such as deodorants and

toothpastes, but fortunately we now have many natural alternatives for
these.

For reducing blood aluminum levels the most important things to consume
are:

1)Zinc (oysters) + garlic

2)Vitamin C

3) Thiamine

4)Vitamin B6

5)Copper from beef liver in order to supplement NAC for a short period of
time which will deplete copper levels.

The most important of all when it comes to aluminum is 6) Magnesium

malate which has the ability to bind aluminum and remove it from the body.

Heavy metal number 4: Mercury

Mercury is yet another heavy metal that crosses the blood brain barrier and
it has been linked with many mental problems.

Mercury is a naturally occuring, toxic heavy metal.

Exposure to methylmercury most commonly occurs when people eat kinds
of fish such as tuna or swordfish.

(Selenium is the most effective dietary compound against methylmercury).

Exposures to metallic mercury most often occur when metallic mercury is

spilled, or when products that contain metallic mercury break, so that
mercury is exposed to the air.

If your dentist tells you that silver/mercury amalgams are safe, get a new
dentist.

Heavy metal number 5: Arsenic

Arsenic is known to cause an increase in lung, bladder and skin cancers.

Exposure to arsenic happens through unfiltered water, some seafood and
rice based products.

Sprouted white rice is a health food if cooked in bone broth and should not
be eliminated.

What you should do instead is avoid rice products made out of big food
companies and always soak rice overnight, draining it and rinsing it before
you cook it.

This opens up the grain and allows arsenic to be washed out.

Heavy metal number 6: Iron.

How to detox from heavy metals the safe way.

The safest and extremely efficient way to detox from heavy metals after
making sure that the nutrient needs are covered, is binders.

Binders latch onto heavy metals and refuse to let them go until they reach
the body’s exit door.

Without a binder, heavy metals (and other endotoxins) are quickly

reabsorbed into the bloodstream.

Binder #1 Activated charcoal (AC)

Heavy metal awareness, written by George @Helios_Movement

Activated charcoal will bind to tons of endotoxins (from heavy metals, to
xenoestrogens, to parasites) because it carries slight negative electrical
charge which acts like a magnet for the positively charged toxins.

AC is so effective for being a binder that emergency rooms use it to treat

overdoses. BUT, if taken for over a few weeks it will bind into important
minerals and antioxidants so it should be treated very carefully and when
someone chooses to consume it he should also supplement with
magnesium, drink raw milk, eat sea salt and not skip on oysters or organ
meats.

Binder #2 Bentonite clay

Bentonite clay has been used for centuries to pull out toxins from the body.
But we will not get deep into this tool since it's very VERY hard to find a
quality one.

Most ones in the market that also a lot of health people promote, are
poisonous beyond imagination.

I only keep 1 brand at the stores which i will not promote since it is more
expensive than a rolex and there are cheaper and more effective tools out
there.

Binder #3 Chlorella

Chlorella is a genus of single celled green algae belonging to the division

Chlorophyta and it likes to bind mercury and lead in the gut.

When it comes to chlorella we are talking about chlorella pyrenoidosa.

Binding tool #4: Pectins

Pectin is a naturally occurring substance found in berries, apples and other

fruit. There are two types of pectin that are recommended:

First: citrus pectin

Second: apple pectin

A couple of teaspoons a day are more than enough.

Binding tool #5 IMD (Intestinal metal detox) IMD is highly purified silica with
covalently bonded elements.

IMD binds to heavy metals such as mercury in the gut and comes in a
powdered form.

You should not start with IMD since it can be expensive and should be
treated very very carefully and you should never take it for more than 4-5
DAYS at a time.

Binding tool#6 (personal favorite): Zeolites

When we are talking about zeolites we are talking about naturally occurring
zeolites which were volcanic rock and ash finds alkaline groundwater that its
negative charge binds to positively charged toxins and traps not only
EVERY harmful heavy metal but many other harmful compounds as well.

They are my personal favorite because unlike things such as activated

charcoal do not remove vital nutrients and minerals.

These were the basics.
