Heavy Metal Detox

Heavy metals sound dangerous and they are. They're also far more common than you think. You'd be horrified to learn that such substances as antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium, cadmium, thallium, lead and mercury, are probably in your body right now.

Toxins reach your body through the air or drinking water or via amalgam fillings in your teeth. As you can imagine, they're dangerous in many ways including compromising your immune system and damaging your organs.

Just consider the following.

Arsenic is a poison that can damage the nervous system, heart and blood vessels. Cadmium can damage the cells in your body. Lead can cause behavioural changes and reproductive disorders. Mercury can lead to kidney damage

The good news is that heavy metal toxins can be safely and naturally removed from your body. Thallium can adversely affect the nervous system and the major organs.

Heavy Metal Detox Methods

First you should determine whether your levels are dangerous. You can do this through a hair mineral analysis. It reveals metals excreted by your body recently and is a good guide to the levels in your body.

The major method to detoxify your body of metals is through a process called chelation. This involved taking chelating agents to which the heavy metals bind themselves. They are then eliminated from the body together. Drawbacks are that the agents themselves can be toxic. They're also metal specific so you'll need to take several types if you want to remove many metals.

Fortunately, regular body detox methods also work with heavy metals. These use natural materials such as bentonite clay, blue and green algae, burdock root, cilantro, garlic, onions along with herbs such as ginger.

The fact is that standard detox procedures such as colon, liver and parasite cleansing, also work to rid your body of heavy metal pollutants. When you factor in a sound, natural diet rich in raw foods, and you needn't be concerned about heavy metals in your body again.

If you've decided you need a heavy metal detox, contact your natural health specialist for advice.
