Heavy Metal Toxicity and Chelation

Introduction
This is my thoughts on heavy metal toxicity, its effects, and potential solutions to heavy metal toxicity. These are based on information I have read and are not intended to treat anyone's health issues.

Toxicity
Is heavy metal toxic.....yup. Glad we got that one over with. Aluminium and mercury are probably the most well known for heavy metal toxicity. Heavy metal toxicity has been linked to brain disorders such as autism and alzheimers. Is this the cause of all cases of autism and alzheimers? Not likely. But many testimonials have declared significant improvements to these conditions following a chelation and lowering of these heavy metals in the body. Heavy metals are known to build up over time in the body, thus you may not notice when the toxicity initially began, however once someone is tipped over the edge, who knows what damage it is doing. Aluminium is a neurotoxin. When consumed, 5% of aluminuim is taken up and stored in the body. When applied to the body as as through anti-perspirants, as much as 40% of aluminium is stored in the body! Where it is stored in the body is also significant. When aluminium bonds with flouride, flouride helps carry aluminium across the blood/brain barrier where it can then unleash its havoc with one of your most important organs. Mercury is known to be one of the most toxic substances known to man. It is extremely toxic to the human body. It can be taken through flu vaccines, as well as eating larger fish-eating-fish. Aluminium can also be absorbed through vaccines, black tea, and even from the environment.

Chelation
Chelation has been sworn by many to be able to reduce the heavy metals in their body and also to help them or their children recover from various health issues. There are a number of chelation kits out there to assist with this but it is always best to seek the advice of a health professional.

Other common foods that can assist with the removal of heavy metals from the body:
  • Chloryphill
  • Spirulina
  • Olive leaf extract
