They're among the most poisonous substances in our environment and, while they won't kill you right away, in the long haul, exposure to heavy metals can create major stresses on all the body's organs, weaken the immune system and ultimately cause or contribute to liver, kidney and neurological diseases, as well as cancer and shortened longevity. Heavy metals are as natural as you can get. However, while they're a normal part of the Earth's crust and are ordinarily present in tiny quantities, industrial activities, including mining and factory manufacturing, have concentrated them in the ground, as well as in consumer products, resulting in exposure of toxic levels to millions of human beings.
Pesticides and pharmaceuticals can also be sources of heavy metal toxicity. If you're dealing with unexplained symptoms, including headaches, neurological disorders, muscle and joint weakness or pain and fatigue and you think you've been exposed to lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic or any other heavy metals, blood or urine tests are pretty accurate and simple to obtain.
To eliminate heavy metals, support the production of the body's master detox molecule glutathione with supplements, including glutamine, acetylcysteine and selenium. Vitamin C is important, intravenous chelation therapy done by a healthcare professional can also be helpful and you can sweat out heavy metals via exercise. As well as regular use of afar or near infrared sauna.
