Detailed instructions are included with purchase.
This kit is designed for a 2-month starter program. It’s recommended that you stay on the protocol for a minimum of three months, but depending on your heavy metal load, you may need to stay on the protocol longer. Consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine the length of time and frequency you should do the heavy metal protocol. Additionally, speak with your healthcare professional for guidance on testing for heavy metals and on incorporating other heavy metal removal protocols, such as the removal of silver amalgam dental fillings, which contain mercury.
The heavy metal protocol is designed to facilitate the removal of toxic heavy metals from the body using a 2-part process. Part 1 uses ingredients that “grab” on to metals so they can be excreted from the body. Part 2 helps to replenish essential minerals that get lost during the heavy metal purge.*
Toxins are all around us – the air we breathe, the water we bathe in, what we put in our bodies and what we put on our bodies. And that list of toxins includes various heavy metals that can easily accumulate in the body because they like to hide out in fatty tissues. Unfortunately, this accumulation over time can interfere with proper organ function and lead to serious health complications. That’s why eliminating heavy metals from the body is a crucial part in attaining optimal health.*
Where Does Heavy Metal Exposure Come From?
You might think heavy metals are only used for industrial purposes, like construction, engineering or manufacturing. In fact, many years ago it was theorized that you could only be exposed to heavy metals if you worked in an industry that used metals like mercury, cadmium, aluminum and lead. This has since been ruled out as we’ve learned that individuals can be exposed daily to heavy metals from dental fillings, florescent lightbulbs, personal care products, household cleaning products, water, food and poor air quality. Heavy metals are essentially all around us!
Our bodies are routinely polluted with heavy metals, sometimes on a daily basis depending on where you live and certain lifestyle factors. These are just a few ways you’re being exposed:
The Importance of Cleansing Heavy Metals
Because heavy metals don’t typically remain circulating in the blood, they aren’t readily filtered out by the kidneys and liver like other toxins. Rather, heavy metals like to hang out in the fatty tissues in the body, like the brain, nervous system, liver and kidneys.
Metals such as mercury, lead and aluminum are neurotoxins that affect the brain and nervous system, while arsenic, cadmium and chromium (the hexavalent form, not the kind you get in supplements) are carcinogenic. Some are endocrine disruptors and most are dangerous to a developing fetus in high concentration. So eliminating heavy metals from the body is a crucial part in attaining optimal health.
If left to accumulate over time, heavy metals can contribute to a number of serious health problems…including death.
Heavy metal toxicity has been implicated in:
Alzheimer’s disease | Cardiovascular disease | Kidney disease | Multiple sclerosis |
Autism | Epilepsy | Lyme disease | Paralysis |
Behavior problems | Fibromyalgia | Memory loss | Parkinson’s disease |
Brain fog | Joint pain | Mental health disorders | Poor concentration |
Heavy metals can alter the elaborate communication system between organs. This short circuiting can lead to various symptoms that are often hard to diagnose correctly.
Eliminating Heavy Metals
To rid heavy metals from the body, you need nutrients with specialized “chelating” properties to bind to heavy metals and usher them to the excretory system for final elimination. Chelating agents bond to metals and convert them to a less active form. This allows for safe transport as the harmful toxins are excreted in urine and bowel movements.
Nutraceuticals known to possess metal chelation properties include:
Note: DMSA is quick to immobilize certain metals, including lead and mercury, which sounds great, but chelating heavy metals too quickly can burden the excretory organs. You need functioning kidneys and liver for proper elimination, but processing too much too fast can cause these organs to lose functionality. Flooding the body with metals that have been forced out of hiding also increases the risk of reabsorbing the toxins and can contribute to oxidative damage similar to that of free radicals. Talk to a qualified healthcare professional if you are considering DMSA for heavy metal chelation and take only under the careful guidance of your healthcare professional. You may need to enlist the help of a licensed healthcare professional to purchase DMSA.
