I know how to safely and effectively address heavy metal toxicity extremely well. As described here, I had mercury toxicity and completely recovered using a safe and effective approach. Keep in mind, there are many practitioners out there who say they know how to help people recover from metal toxicity. Nearly all of them use unsafe and/or ineffective approaches (e.g., IV chelation, herbs, improper dosing, etc.).
Description
Primary heavy metals
responsible for toxicity include mercury, lead, aluminum, antimony,
arsenic, and cadmium, as well as excessive levels of essential
minerals such as copper and manganese.
Chronic heavy metal
toxicity (versus acute occupational exposure, which is more
traditionally understood to be a problem) is much more common than
widely believed and a significant contributor to chronic
illness. Conservative
estimates suggest that up to twenty-five percent of the U.S.
population may suffer from heavy metal poisoning to some
degree.
Symptoms can
include:
- Difficulty
thinking / concentrating / remembering
-
Fatigue
- Indigestion,
constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain, etc.
- Muscle
pain
- Anemia,
pallor
- Low blood sugar
(hypoglycemia)
- Poor coordination,
dizziness
- Increased
susceptibility to infection (fungal, bacterial,
viral)
- Loss of sensation
(touch, smell, taste, hearing)
- And
more...
Since heavy metals
disrupt the transport and utilization of essential minerals that are
critical to chemical processes throughout the body, the metals often
affect several of the body's systems. The signs are often vague
and may be attributed incorrectly to other conditions, such
as:
- Allergies,
asthma
- Autism, ADD/ADHD,
OCD
- Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome, fibromyalgia
- Alzheimer's disease,
Parkinson's disease, ALS
- Anxiety, depression,
eating disorders, schizophrenia
- Autoimmune diseases -
rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple
sclerosis
- Digestive disorders -
Crohn's, colitis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
- Heart
disease
- Hormonal imbalances -
thyroid, adrenal, sex hormones
Causes
Toxicity results from
environmental exposures to heavy metals. Potential sources of
exposure are numerous, including:
- Dental
amalgams
-
Seafood
- Drinking
water
-
Vaccines
- Old
paint
- Industrial emissions
- e.g., coal and cement plants
-
Cigarettes
- Personal care
products - e.g., deodorants
-
Cosmetics
- Fire retardants -
e.g., children's clothing, bedding
-
Etc.
My Treatment
Approach
- Identify and safely
eliminate potential sources of heavy metal exposure in the
individual's environment.
- Properly test for heavy metals and disordered mineral transport.
- Supplement to support
the body's natural metal detoxification pathways and to restore
normal levels of essential nutrients, e.g:
- Vitamins
-
Minerals
-
Essential fatty acids
-
Herbals
-
Enzymes
-
Probiotics
- Safely reduce
existing heavy metal levels in the body using proper oral
chelation.
- Reduce/avoid foods
that the body may not be capable of digesting properly and/or may be
contributing to poor cognitive and immune function.
- Address existing
chronic infections (bacterial, viral, fungal).
- Support hormone balance (adrenal, thyroid, and
sex hormones).
