Why Heavy Metal Toxicity Should Be A Concern to You

By Abdul Gonzelez

We are all being exposed to and absorbing these harmful heavy metal toxins every day lives. Some of the sources of these heavy metal toxins are from fish, such as shellfish and canned tuna, cosmetics, polluted water, pesticides, antiseptics, hemorrhoid suppositories, soft contact lens solution, and certain medications. The primary sources of exposure to the heavy metal mercury are from dental silver amalgam fillings (approximately 50% mercury when placed). There are over 235 million dental patients in America with mercury amalgam fillings in their teeth. These fillings release toxic microscopic particles into their body every time they chew. Hal Huggins, D.D.S. of Colorado estimates more than 70% of all dental patients show some symptoms of mercury toxicity and that more than 20% of the general population is affected sufficiently to hinder their lives.

Symptoms of mercury toxicity can be as simple as headaches and fevers to something as serious as memory loss, depression, tremors, pain and numbness in your extremities. Heavy metal exposure is a serious issue to the body. Can a person do something to help themselves? Yes, its called oral chelation. Its natural and safe.

Lead may be the most well known toxic heavy metal besides arsenic. The most common sources of exposure are industrial pollution and gasoline additives from airborne sources, lead-based paint, hair dyes and rinses, drinking water from lead plumbing, improperly glazed dinnerware or pottery, cosmetics, pesticides, plus so many other sources. It is well known for its toxic effects and its prevalence as an environmental pollutant. Lead and cadmium are correlated with both reduced intelligence scores and lowered school achievement scores. A common question is what can we do about it? Oral Chelators have been shown in human studies to be safe for people of all ages, effective, affordable, and convenient to help eliminate lead plus 19 other toxic heavy metals. Common symptoms are tiredness, short attention (ADD & ADHD) anxiety, headaches, plus so much more, all depending on your body.

In recent years people are more aware of the heavy metal toxin called cadmium because of cigarette smoke or even second hand smoke. Most do not realize that automobile exhaust and industrial waste are detirmental to human health also. Even more do not realize refined foods such as white flour and rice, seafood, soft water have exposure to cadmium from galvanized pipes. When a person has kidney problems its probably the last thing they think about is cadmium exposure. Do you live near the roadway or next to a battery plant? Do you work with sewage sludge or high-phosphate fertilizers? These are just some of the sources of exposure. If you experience hypertension or emphysema, look around if you dont smoke, maybe its your environment.

Toxic heavy metal exposure contributes to or creates major health issues for all of us. Hopefully this article has increased your awareness of the potential sources of exposure to these major heavy metals and their health hazards. Because of their prevalence in our daily life it is almost impossible to not be exposed. It is for this reason I have been researching how a person can remove these heavy metals from their body. An oral supplement containing numerous all natural Chelators. What is chelation? It is introducing safe, effective agents into the blood, which possess the ability to claw out or chemically bond with certain natural ingredients. Its called Oral Chelation. But always look for the complete formula not just a chelator or two. Find a high quality oral chelation formula that not only targets all 20 of the toxic heavy metals but one that protects your liver and kidneys and replenishes the body properly to rebuild the immune system. They are out there. - 16004
