In our modern, high-tech civilization, we are paying a price for convenience - in our foods, in our water and in our air. In fact, heavy metal toxicity in air pollution is now a constant continual occurrence. Hence, exposure to toxic metals is essentially unavoidable, totally.
The bad news is that these metal poisons in our daily environment can dramatically affect our health. Many people, including our children, are being severely effected, physically and mentally.
The good news is that, with proper knowledge. these poisons can be avoided to a significant degree. Additionally, if these metals have found their way into our bodies, they can be detected and even removed from the body with natural means through a guided process of detoxification.
What is Heavy Metal "Toxicity" ?
Toxicity is the state in which unnatural elements (such as toxic metals) accumulate in our body tissues, commonly referred to as our "body burden". Unless these toxic elements somehow artificially enter our system, they are normally NEVER found in human biological bodies to any great degree.
Heavy metal exposure can disrupt normal body functions in cells, tissues, organs, glands and systems. Commonly, heavy metal accumulation in the body affects not only the burdened tissues, but disrupts metabolism (the continual breakdown of old cells and tissues and build up of new cells and tissues) as well.
Specific internal responses occur in an effort to rid the body of these toxic substances, or adapt to their presence when the body's detoxification abilities are overwhelmed. The adaptation is never ideal, but it is done by our body in an attempt to carry on function, despite overwhelming toxic constraints.
