The Fear Around Heavy Metals

Chronic diseases related to heavy metal toxicity are a problem for many people. Exposure to these toxins can occur through various sources such as farmed fish, mercury fillings, beauty and cleaning products, as well as food and drinking water. Everyone has a ‘toxin bucket’; when the bucket gets full and spills over, inflammation and disease will appear. Therefore, incorporating a heavy metal detox yearly into your routine is a very good idea.

When you are exposed, the metals enter your bloodstream. Your body will take them to an area where it does the least harm, in most cases to fat cells, where they can remain stored up for years. ‘Heavy metals’ means metals which stick around.

An interesting case study shows a lady who experienced sudden weight gain. The cause was an acute exposure to arsenic. In response, her body quickly created a lot of fat cells to store the toxic metal. Debris like heavy metal particles floating in the blood can cause damage, and the body is very good at minimising this.

Not All Heavy Metals Are Created Equal

Interestingly, certain heavy metals are essential for maintaining optimal health, such as iron and zinc. For instance, consuming iron found in beef liver is considered safe, as it is organic and contains carbon within its molecular structure. On the other hand, iron sourced from crushed nails poses risks, as it is inorganic and harmful. I am not a fan of supplemental iron or iron infusions, favouring instead the consumption of iron-rich animal foods. Notably, the iron present in meat is more readily absorbed by the body compared to that derived from vegetables.

The products from Cellcore have binders containing Humic and Fulvic acid, which are basically foods derived from soil that are safe for consumption without adverse effects. These compounds act as internal “tornados,” scavenging for debris, restoring order, and supplying nourishment and minerals. Through advanced lab processes, the Humic and Fulvic acids in these products are enhanced, which makes them extremely powerful, surpassing by far the effectiveness of conventional formulations found in other health products.

Heavy metals have been, and continue to be, a concern for me. I underwent the removal of my dental amalgam fillings by a conventional dentist, lacking proper mercury vapour protection. These fillings had been in my mouth for a long time, emitting toxic vapours daily, which I inadvertently ingested, causing damage to my intestines. Alongside mercury, another less recognised metal, Tellurium, is showing high for me in testing. I attribute this to my employment in a metal company or possibly exposure during holidays in the Kimberley, because of fracking activities.

Symptoms of Heavy Metal Poisoning

As symptoms of heavy metal poisoning often resemble those associated with ageing, such as memory loss and increased fatigue, individuals often blame these emerging issues on the natural process of growing older. However, what many fail to recognise is that heavy metal exposure can significantly contribute to these symptoms. In addition to affecting older people, it’s crucial for younger individuals to understand that heavy metals can be transmitted to babies in utero by their mothers.

Tackling Heavy Metal Toxicity

Tackling heavy metal toxicity is prioritised, often as early as step 6 or even earlier in a protocol. Currently, I am still taking HM-ET Binder, which stands for Heavy Metal-Environmental Toxin Binder. Below is a schedule detailing various binders and their respective targets.

A few years ago, I discovered that copper pipes are used in the Perth Hills for our water distribution system. This is why many of us show elevated levels of copper in testing. It is advisable to distil your drinking water to minimise exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do heavy metals get into your body?

Exposure can occur through various sources such as farmed fish, mercury fillings, beauty and cleaning products, and food and drinking water. In the Perth Hills, copper pipes are used for water distribution, which is why many of us show elevated copper levels in testing. Heavy metals can also be transmitted to babies in utero by their mothers. Everyone has a ‘toxin bucket’, and when it spills over, inflammation and disease appear.

Where are heavy metals stored in the body?

When you are exposed, the metals enter your bloodstream. Your body takes them to an area where they do the least harm, in most cases your fat cells, where they can remain stored for years. In one case study, a lady gained weight suddenly after an acute exposure to arsenic: her body quickly created a lot of fat cells to store the toxic metal.

What are the symptoms of heavy metal toxicity?

Symptoms of heavy metal poisoning often resemble those of ageing, such as memory loss and increased fatigue, so many people blame them on growing older. The chart above also lists brain fog and trouble concentrating, insomnia, digestive issues such as IBS, depression and anxiety, chronic aches and pains, skin irritation, tremors and poor recovery from exercise. Heavy metal exposure can significantly contribute to all of these.

Are all heavy metals bad for you?

No. Certain heavy metals are essential for optimal health, such as iron and zinc. Iron found in beef liver is considered safe, as it is organic and contains carbon within its molecular structure, while iron sourced from crushed nails is inorganic and harmful. I am not a fan of supplemental iron or iron infusions and favour iron-rich animal foods instead, as iron from meat is more readily absorbed.

How do you detox heavy metals?

Incorporating a heavy metal detox yearly into your routine is a very good idea. Tackling heavy metal toxicity is prioritised, often as early as step 6 or even earlier in a protocol. Binders containing humic and fulvic acid act as internal “tornados”, scavenging for debris and supplying nourishment and minerals. I am still taking HM-ET Binder myself, which stands for Heavy Metal-Environmental Toxin Binder.
