Why Heavy Metal Toxicity Should Be A Concern to You

By Abdul Gonzelez

Do you know what Heavy Metal Toxicity is? Most people do not have a clue. Most are shocked to find out they are being exposed on a daily bases to harmful substances that we live with everyday in our daily lives. One of the most common heavy metals most of us are exposed to is mercury. Mercury can be found in our silver amalgam dental filling. Most of these fillings are approximately 50% mercury when placed in the mouth. These fillings release toxic microscopic particles into our bodies every time we chew. Did you know mercury is one of the most toxic elements of this earth? Did you know you could also consume mercury in some fish, especially shellfish and canned tuna, pesticides, some medications, cosmetics, polluted water, antiseptics, even such things as hemorrhoid suppositories, and soft contact lens solutions?

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 toxicity may be the most well known toxic heavy metal besides arsenic. There are many places a person is exposed to this highly toxic poison. Cigarette smoke, newsprint and colored ads, rubber toys, soft coal, and in dirt near garages, or empty site lots of old factories are just a few. Lead poisoning is a serious and very common type of heavy metal poisoning in children in America. Symptoms of lead poisoning in children mimic those of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and cause behavioral and learning problems, nervousness, headaches, and many other related symptoms. Lead and cadmium are correlated with both reduced intelligence scores and lowered school achievement scores.

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.
