HEAVY METAL DETOXIFICATION

Heavy metals are carcinogenic in nature and adversely affect DNA, proteins, and lipids by producing free radicals that lead to severe health and environmental problems.

​

Heavy metal overload is the result of exposure to heavy metals like lead, mercury and arsenic. Heavy metals bind to parts of your cells that prevent your organs from doing their job.

​

Symptoms of heavy metal poisoning may be life threatening and they can cause severe organ damage.

​

What metals cause heavy metal poisoning (toxicity)?

​

Several metals can be toxic to your body. The most common toxic metals are:

 

Type of metal & Where it can be found

​

Lead. Contaminated water from lead pipes, batteries, paint, gasoline, construction materials.

​

Mercury. Liquid in thermometers, lightbulbs, dental amalgam (“silver”) fillings, batteries, seafood, and topical antiseptics.

 

Arsenic. Topical creams, herbicides, insecticides, pesticides, fungicides, paints, enamels, glass, contaminated water, seafood, algae.

 

Cadmium. Cigarette smoke, metal plating, batteries.

 

Thallium. Rodenticides, pesticides, fireworks.

 

• Eating a lot of food that contains metals (fish).

• Drinking water from older water supply systems.

• Working with metals on the job.

• Taking medications or supplements with high amounts of metallic elements.

• Handling metals or products made with a large amount of metal (like paint or pesticides) without using personal protective equipment.

​

Most metals that cause poisoning are in a microscopic (molecular) form when they enter your body. They are so small, you won’t be able to see them. Heavy metals can enter your body by:

​

• Absorbing into your skin.

• Breathing in or inhaling tiny metal molecules.

• Eating or drinking (ingesting) the metal from food or water.

​

What are the symptoms of heavy metal poisoning?

​​

• Abdominal pain.

• Chills or a low body temperature.

• Dehydration.

• Diarrhea.

• Feeling weak.

• Nausea or vomiting.

• A scratchy feeling in your throat.

• Numbness or prickly sensation in your hands and feet.

 

Severe symptoms of heavy metal overload that can be life threatening include:

​

• Abnormal heartbeat (arrhythmia).

• Anemia.

• Brain damage and memory loss.

• Difficulty breathing.

• Kidney damage.

• Liver damage.

• Miscarriage in people who are pregnant.

• Risk of developing cancer.
