How To Detox Heavy Metals

Herbology · Nutrition

What are heavy metals, how are they getting in our bodies, and what do they do to our health? Little do we know that toxic heavy metals in our system can damage our brains, wreak havoc on many of the body’s systems (including the central nervous system and the immune system), and feed viruses and pathogens that cause a barrage of chronic and mystery health conditions and symptoms.

 

What are heavy metals and how do they get in my body?

The heavy metals that are toxic to our systems include mercury, aluminum, copper, cadmium, lead, arsenic, nickel, chrome, alloy, and steel. Unfortunately, when we were born as little babies into this world, we inherited the heavy metals that our ancestors had in their bodies, particularly the mercury they hadn’t known until too late was extremely toxic. Heavy metals are also everywhere in our present-day environment. Food is still cooked with aluminum foil; parks and apartment buildings are sprayed with pesticides that often contain heavy metals; houses contain copper pipes – the list goes on. Here are just a few ways heavy metals can come into your life:

 

 

What do heavy metals do to my health?

Have you ever felt that, try as you might, you couldn’t get a task done because you couldn’t concentrate? Have you or a loved one ever felt the dulling edge of depression? As these toxic heavy metals circulate in our bodies, they oxidize and cause even more damage. They feed bacteria (such as streptococcus) and other viruses and pathogens in the body. Toxic heavy metals are often the root cause behind any kind of problematic cognitive function, including but not limited to ADHD, ADD, mood disorders, depression, memory loss, brain fog, anxiety, and Alzheimer’s. The bacteria that feeds off of heavy metals can cause gut problems, numbness, fatigue, anxiety, heart palpitations, dizziness or vertigo, and many other conditions depending on the individual.

The rollout of 5G presents a real risk if you have heavy metals in the body. These electromagnetic waves have been linked to causing “microwave sickness,” which includes nausea, disorientation, fatigue, and other symptoms. What happens to metal in a microwave? It sparks, flares, and can even start on fire. Now, I’m not saying that’s what can happen inside your body – but the effects definitely aren’t good for your health, according to the evidence piling up. Tap here to learn more about 5G and how to mitigate its effects.

 

How can I remove heavy metals?

Removing these heavy metals from our system is an incredible way to start healing. Once heavy metals are drained from the system, the body can fully absorb the nutrients it has been deprived of, nerve connections are faster and efficient, brain fog clears, and the body and mind begin to thrive.

There are 5 specific foods that work together to pull out toxic heavy metals in a highly efficient manner. Through my training as a Master Foot Zonologist and a Master Herbalist, I learned about each of these foods and their healing properties. Anthony William, the Medical Medium, put these 5 foods together in the Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie and brought new information on how they work together synergistically to remove toxic heavy metals. More information can be found in his book, Medical Medium: Life-Changing Foods. There are also other recommendations below to augment the detoxification process.

 

Heavy Metal Detox Foods

These foods will work together to remove harmful heavy metals from your body. They can all be consumed within 24 hours, or all at once in the smoothie recipe below by Anthony William for best results.

 

CILANTRO

Cilantro is a remarkable heavy-metal detoxifier and is able to remove mercury and aluminum from where it is stored in the adipose (fat) tissues. Cilantro is also able to mobilize mercury rapidly from the brain and central nervous system by separating it from the fat tissue and moving into the blood & lymph where when combined with a blue green algae such as spirulina it can be removed safely and effectively from the body. Cilantro & blue green algae used together is a winning combination and a natural miracle that has given tremendous relief to those suffering from mercury poisoning & toxicity. Include cilantro in guacamole, salad, juices, and smoothies – consuming one bunch daily for the most medicinal benefit.

 

WILD BLUEBERRIES

The typical cultivated blueberry found in the produce section of the grocery store has a “cousin” that is smaller but significantly more nutrient dense. Wild blueberries draw out toxic heavy metals from deep in the brain tissue and heal the remaining gaps due to their potent antioxidants. These powerful berries are key for brain, gut, and heart health, reduce the risk of diabetes, strengthen the circulatory system, improve cognitive abilities, and help prevent cancer. Wild blueberries can be found in the frozen section of most grocery stores.

 

SPIRULINA

Antioxidants abound! Spirulina is often deemed the most nutritionally complete of all foods and has countless uses as a supplement for maintaining good health and preventing diseases. Spirulina has a completely unique combination of phytonutrients, including chlorophyll, phycocyanin and polysaccharides, that can help to purge toxins from the body. According to Anthony William, this blue-green algae helps draw heavy metals out of your brain, central nervous system, and liver. It also works in concert with barley grass juice extract powder to soak up the metals BGJP pulls out.

 

BARLEY GRASS JUICE POWDER

Barley grass JUICE powder (not to be confused with barley grass powder) is one of the most nutrient rich foods in nature and has been used since ancient times for medicinal and healing purposes. The juice powder is one of the best ways to consume this food as it concentrates the nutritional properties and is the easiest way for the body to digest, assimilate, and utilize its nutrients. When consumed, it pulls heavy metals out of the spleen, intestinal tract, pancreas, thyroid, and reproductive system.

 

DULSE

Atlantic dulse is a seaweed that powerfully binds to mercury, among other heavy metals such as lead, aluminum, copper, cadmium, and nickel. Dulse seeks out the mercury, binds to it, and makes sure it leaves your body along with the other heavy metals the aforementioned foods helped remove from other places in your body.

What else can I do to remove heavy metals or support my detox?

Drinking celery juice on an empty stomach first thing in the morning is an incredible way to support the removal of toxic heavy metals. Celery juice contains mineral salts that assist the liver in removing toxins and its other daily vital functions. Read more about the benefits of celery juice here.

Removing dairy, eggs, wheat, and pork from your diet will exponentially increase your healing. These foods feed viruses and pathogens in the body, and their absence will help the removal of heavy metals. Lowering your consciously-sourced animal protein intake to once a day, or if vegan or vegetarian lowering plant-based fats will also help lighten the load on the liver so it can focus on shedding the toxins. While detoxing these metals, enjoy an abundance of fruit and vegetables to support the process, feel satiated, and gain their healing benefits.

I have also seen Advanced TRS have amazing results with detoxing heavy metals. My family and I use it every day, and I often find myself recommending it to clients. Learn more about TRS here.

In fact, the right supplements can assist your body in a cleaner, gentler detox. As your body is releasing heavy metals and other toxins, you’ll need to have your body’s systems working as best they can. You can support this by getting a few high quality supplements that protect and uplift your immune system and your organs. Read more about what high quality supplements I recommend here.

Epsom salt baths are also an amazing way to support your body through a detox. Read more about the benefits of epsom salt baths here.

Getting outside in the fresh air and sunshine does wonders for our health. Think the sun is not your friend? See how to make sunshine work best for you here.

The healing path to renewed and glowing health is not an easy or glorious one. It can be full of challenges, obstacles and misinformation. However, it can also be a path of triumph, energy, joy, and vitality! My greatest desire is to empower you to heal. Sending you many blessings on your journey.
