Speech: Heavy Metals in the Body

1. What are heavy Metals?

2. Why does it matter? How do they effect us?
3. How do they get into the body?
4. What can we do to prevent it and cleanse our body?

1. Mercury, Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium, Aluminium

Beneficial Metals: Iron, Zinc, Manganese, Nickel, Cobalt, Copper, Magnesium, Calcium, Sodium,
Potassium,

1. Mercury in fish.
The health benefits of eating fish have some support, but concern over
the high content of mercury contaminants has led to brand-new
warnings for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers. Recently, the
Environmental Working Group performed an analysis of pregnant
women who eat fish to examine their exposure to mercury.
They measured mercury levels in hair samples of 254 women eating
about as much fish as the U.S. government recommends for pregnant
mothers. About 30 percent of women had mercury levels over the safe
limit set by the EPA, considered too high for pregnant women. Using
even stricter limits recommended by other experts, the researchers
found that 60 percent of women had excessive mercury levels in their
hair. Frequent fish eaters had 11 times more mercury than a group
who rarely ate fish.
Overall, the EWG recommends that when eating fish, pregnant women
should avoid high-mercury species—not just ones the FDA already
warns are dangerous, such as shark and swordfish, but also types the
federal guidelines don't yet caution against, such as tuna, sea bass,
halibut, and marlin.
2. Lead in bone broth.
A current dietary trend recommended by some health authors is to
consume a broth made of animal bones for better skin, GI health, and
other purported benefits.
But when exposed to lead, animals and humans often store the toxin
within bone minerals. In 2013, scientists measured the levels of lead
in broth made from the bones of organic chickens. The broth was
found to have “markedly high lead concentrations” compared to water
cooked in the same cookware.
I am unaware of any commercially available bone broth or collagen
powder that tests for lead levels, so beware.
3. Cadmium in e-cigarettes.
Cadmium is a toxic heavy metal that has been linked with cancers of
the lung, pancreas, breast, prostate, endometrium, and urinary
bladder.
Cigarette smoking, in particular, provides exposure to high levels of
cadmium, believed to be due to contaminated soil. Recently, cadmium
has also been identified in e-cigarettes and those that vape. An effort
is now under way in California to label these products as potentially
carcinogenic, similar to the labeling required in Canada.
4. Arsenic in rice.
If the play Arsenic and Old Lace were to be renamed, it would likely be
Old Rice. Rice efficiently absorbs arsenic from irrigation water, soil,
and even cooking water. Arsenic exposure is linked to heart disease,
kidney disease, brain disease, and diabetes.
Recently, the potential for arsenic toxicity has made headlines in
terms of the health of infants and children. The FDA
just highlightedthat rice formulas should not be the only source, or
even the first source, of nutrition for an infant. Barley, multigrain. and
oats are preferred nutrition sources. (Here are recommendations for
purchasing the rice lowest in arsenic.)

Aluminum
Toxins
Aluminum is ridiculously common; a component of foil, cans and
cookware, antacids, nasal spray and processed cheese. When
aluminum enters your body, it’s absorbed and can accumulate in the
kidneys, brain, lungs, liver and thyroid. Aluminum exposure is common
with some occupations like welding and mining. In these industries,
vapors may be present and inhalation can result in a “super
absorption” status. Aluminum is one of many toxic metals thought to
cause brain problems. Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s have been
repeatedly examined for a relation to aluminum accumulation in the
brain.
These Products May Contain Aluminum:
• Antacids • Lipstick
Cans
• Anti-diarrhea Medication • Cookware
Nasal sprays
• Antiperspirants • Dentures Cheese
Processed
• Astringents • Fireworks
Toothpaste
• Baking Powder • Foil
Vaccines
• Buffered Aspirin • Hemorrhoid
Vaginal Douches
Medications

Lead Toxins
Lead has long been known to be hazardous.
Drinking water, old homes, and tobacco smoke are
all potential sources of toxic lead exposure. Dust
and flakes from lead based paint have caused
unbelievable public health nightmares but
fortunately regulations have been able to reduce
the problem. When lead enters the body, it goes
into the bloodstream and starts depositing itself in
the body- bones, soft tissue, and the brain. It’s
harmful for children and it’s harmful for pregnant
women, be extremely cautious of exposure to
lead!
Products That May Contain Lead:

• Antiques • PVC plastics

Cigarettes
• Car batteries? • Crystalshields
X-ray
• Cable coverings • Paintsand products imported
Toys
• Ceramics • Pesticides
from China

Cadmium Toxins
The human body doesn’t need
cadmium in any amount
and even low levels are toxic.
Exposure happens primarily
through contaminated foods,
however cigarettes and
industry are also sources; as
are nickel-cadmium batteries,
hazardous waste facilities, and
fertilizer. Cadmium is slow to
exit the body and the negative
effects of cadmium are
disastrous, affecting the
cardiovascular and
reproductive systems,
kidneys, eyes, and brain.
 Foods That May Contain Cadmium:

• Shelled seeds • Cookies

Potato Chips How
• Organ Meats • Celery
Peanut Butter & Peanuts
• Cabbage • Potatoes
French fries Can
I
Protect Myself from Toxic Metals?
First, establish where
you’re at. Toxic metal
tests can be done by
many chiropractors or
natural healthcare
practitioners using hair,
blood or urine analysis.
A sauna is great for
heat therapy, which
dissolves toxins in the
blood and lets you
sweat them out. Find a
dentist who has
experience and
knowledge removing
mercury fillings and
have your mercury
amalgam fillings
removed
immediately. Be
cautious of
antiperspirants,
cookware and utensils
that contain aluminum.
Avoid food or drink in
aluminum cans. Think
twice about
vaccinations for things
that are no longer
common.
Toxic metal poisons are
all around us and you
need to actively avoid
toxic metal exposure.
However, total
avoidance can be a
very tricky proposition-
the stuff is everywhere.
Detoxifying
and cleansing your
body is the next step to
reducing the toxins that
affect your health.
