Heavy Metal Toxicity

Heavy metals exist all around us.

They are in the air that we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink. Generally our bodies can get rid of these metals, but if we take them in faster than we can excrete them, they start to build up.

Even small amounts of heavy metals can be toxic. Once they enter our bloodstream, they can be stored in the cells of our tissues and organs for years. This buildup can lead to pain and chronic health issues unless we take steps to remove them from our bodies.

Heavy metals like arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury can seriously disrupt normal biological processes, particularly affecting the function of the nervous system.
