"Heavy metals are stable elements that cannot be metabolized by the body and get passed up in the food chain to human beings (bio-accumulate). The most common, and harmful, heavy metals are Aluminum, Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, Mercury, and Nickel. There are many more existing heavy metals that are not as prevalent or as harmful as the previously noted elements. Heavy metals, in general, have no basic function in the body and can be highly toxic.
Heavy metals are present in the air, drinking water, food and countless human-made chemicals and products. They are taken into the body by inhalation, ingestion, and skin absorption. If heavy metals enter and accumulate in body tissues faster than the body’s detoxification pathways can dispose of them, a gradual buildup of these toxins will occur. Most cases of heavy metal poisoning result from chronic low level exposure to these hazardous environmental toxins. Chemotherapy uses many heavy metals which often cause neuropathy. This study looks at specific heavy metals with high grade symptoms of peripheral neuropathy resulting from chemotherapy for those who've had breast cancer. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01982591
This study looks at the potential of heavy metals for causing cancer. https://www.intechopen.com/books/cancer-causing-substances/heavy-metals-and-cancer
In the last 50 years, human exposure to heavy metals has risen dramatically. This is the result of an exponential increase in the use of heavy metals in industrial processes and products. Today, chronic exposure comes from toxic waste dump and burn sites, agriculture chemical products, mercury amalgam fillings, lead-based paint, tap water, and chemical residues in processed foods. Personal care products, such as cosmetics, mouthwash, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, and other hair care goods are also sources of contamination. In today’s industry, there is no escaping exposure to toxic metals and chemicals. In addition to the hazards at home and outdoors, many occupations are subjected to daily heavy metal exposure.
Studies confirm that toxic heavy metals can directly influence behavior by impairing mental and neurological function. They can also influence the production and utilization of neurotransmitters, and can alter numerous metabolic body processes.
First bottle (take two to three capsules each morning).
Chlorella has been found to clear heavy metal toxicity of the liver, brain and kidneys.
Furthermore, chlorella has been shown to help lower the amount of other harmful chemicals that are sometimes found in food. One of these is dioxin, a hormone disruptor. Chlorella is our food of choice for detoxing the bowel and body, because it is not only a great chelator but a very important food supplying many vital nutrients required to detox and change your internal body chemistry for the better. Chlorella is both a chelator – moving heavy metals out of the body and a mobilizer, moving mercury and other heavy metals from deeper stores to more readily removal areas.
Shilajit is an adaptogenic plant that has certain things in common with activated charcoal, especially that it contains a lot of carbon. It’s a natural chelator because it contains fulvic acid and humic acid that bind to toxic molecules.
Cilantro has been used traditionally to promote the production of digestive fluids and to aid occasional indigestion. Cilantro is best used in conjunction with chlorella because it “mobilizes more toxins than it can carry out of the body; it may flood the connective tissue (where the nerves reside) with metals that were previously stored in safer hiding places.” This can cause retoxificaiton if another binding agent isn’t used.
Simply by adding chlorella – an intestinal absorbing agent – the retoxificaiton of the system is prohibited. Clinical studies completed recently proved that heavy metal chelation [using cilantro and chlorella] can naturally remove an average of 87% of lead, 91% of mercury and 74% of aluminium from the body within 42 days.
Second bottle (take two capsules before lunch).
Dandelion root and Triphala
These two herbs move the heavy metals into the intestinal tract. Dandelion has outstanding antioxidant properties that benefit the liver. It supports normal bile production resulting in efficient digestion and removal of toxins. It is a diuretic, increasing urine production and bowel movements. This makes it an effective cleansing agent for the liver, kidneys and gallbladder and facilitates a healthy lymphatic system. It also has the ability to resist inflammation, helps to purify the blood and promotes normal blood sugar levels.
Triphala is most commonly known for its use as a gentle bowel tonic, helpful in digestion and supporting regular bowel movements. Triphala has also been shown to be a powerful antioxidant, protecting cells from the damaging effects of free radicals. The three fruits involved in making Triphala are also known for their individual effects to support lungs, urinary tract and for a clear complexion.
