Heavy metals we’re not talking about Ozzy Osbourne, in your body – there are 23 of them! The most dangerous to the body and of no use are mercury, cadmium, lead, arsenic and aluminum.
Do you remember the liv-ah? These are the substances that just keep going round and round and round on account the liv-ah doesn’t know what to do with it! Your liver needs some help. Avoid at all costs these metals and get some help for your liv-ah!
“Your body wants to naturally detoxify itself. Only the body can detoxify itself…..provided there is no toxins coming in. The best thing a person can do in the beginning is with food”:
- Organic fruits and vegetables
- Gelatinous fibres
- Cilantro –binds with mercury to clear out of your body
- Good water
- Sun light
- In with gentle foods and get out in nature
The second best thing a person can do is to supplement. Your body needs some help….

| Aluminum – The specific gravity is 2.80. The best way to test for contamination is blood, urine or feces for recent exposure; hair or fingernail analysis will detail the last 3 to 6 months. Hair with coloring in it will not give a reliable reading of toxicity. Because of its low specific gravity, aluminum is not a heavy metal. Aluminum can leach calcium from the bones. It can also stop the body’s ability to digest and make use of calcium, fluoride and phosphorous. | |||
| Sources of Contamination |
Symptoms and Illnesses |
Preventative and Detoxifying Elements |
Body Organs Targeted |
| antacids, over-the-counter drugs, douches, cookware, aluminum foil (especially when storing acidic foods), underarm antiperspirants, baking powders, bad water, food additives, automobile exhaust, tobacco smoke, fireworks |
headaches, cognitive problems, learning disabilities, poor bone density, ringing in the ears, gastrointestinal disorders, colic, hyperactivity in kids, imbalance when walking, poor memory, degenerative muscular conditions, cancer, Alzheimer’s |
calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese, vitamin B complex, vitamin C | central nervous system, kidneys, digestion system |
| Arsenic – The specific gravity is 5.7. The best way to test for contamination is urine for recent exposure; hair or fingernail analysis will detail the last 3 to 6 months. Hair with coloring in it will not give a reliable reading of toxicity. During the Victorian era arsenic was believed to prevent aging. | |||
| Sources of Contamination |
Symptoms and Illnesses |
Preventative and Detoxifying Elements |
Body Organs Targeted |
| smelting process of copper, zinc and lead, manufacturing chemicals, pesticides and glass, bad water, fish, shellfish, paints, rat poisoning, fungicides, wood preservatives |
sore throat, red skin at contact point, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, fever, mucosal irritation, arrhythmia, cardiovascular collapse, numbness, tingling, darkening of the skin, birth defects, cancer, diabetes, Raynaud’s syndrome |
vitamin C, alpha-lipoic acid | blood, kidneys, central nervous system, digestion system, skin, liver, lung, bladder |
| Cadmium – The specific gravity is 8.65. The best way to test for contamination is blood or urine for recent exposure; hair or fingernail analysis will detail the last 3 to 6 months. Hair with coloring in it will not give a reliable reading of toxicity. In the liver it is bonded to protein forming complexes, which are then transported to the kidneys causing damage to the filtration process. The damage allows essential proteins and nutrients to be excreted from the body causing even further damage. Cadmium is very difficult to remove from the body. |

| Sources of Contamination |
Symptoms and Illnesses |
Preventative and Detoxifying Elements |
Body Organs Targeted |
| tobacco smoke, instant coffee and tea, nickel-cadmium batteries, bad water, some soft drinks, refined grains, fungicides, pesticides, some plastics |
fatigue, irritability, headaches, high blood pressure, enlarged prostate, increased risk of cancer, hair loss, learning disabilities, kidney disorders, liver disorders, skin disorders, painful joints, decreased immune functions, lung damage |
zinc, iron, vitamin C, amino acids (L-methionine, L-cysteine, L-lysine) | gastrointestinal system, liver, placenta, kidneys, lungs, brain, bones, central nervous system, bones, reproductive organs |
| Lead – The specific gravity is 11.34. The best way to test for contamination is blood. Lead suppresses neuron clusters in the brain. | |||
| Sources of Contamination |
Symptoms and Illnesses |
Preventative and Detoxifying Elements |
Body Organs Targeted |
| tobacco smoke, eating leaded paint, lead based ceramic glazed cookware, leaded gasoline, eating contaminated liver, inner city living, canned food (lead soldered), some bone meal supplements, some insecticides, batteries, plumbing, pencils, crystal glass production |
poor bone growth, learning disabilities, fatigue, poor task performance, irritability, anxiety, high blood pressure, weight loss, susceptibility to infections, headaches, ringing in ears, lack of concentration, gastrointestinal problems, constipation, muscle and joint pain, tremors, decreased immune functions, insomnia, hallucinations, birth defects, autism, colic |
calcium, iron, zinc, vitamin C, amino acids (L-lysine, L-cysteine, L-cystine) | bones, brain, kidneys, thyroid gland, liver, central nervous system |
| Mercury – The specific gravity is 13.546. The best way to test for contamination is blood or urine for recent exposure; an x-ray will show if it is flowing through your system. Mercury prevents zinc from performing its normal function in the body, even where there is plenty of zinc. Contaminated fish and seafood have become major issues. Never eat Mackerel King, Shark, Swordfish, Tilefish or Grouper. In general, the older and larger the fish the more mercury they will contain. | |||
