 However, removing toxic heavy metal residues that have built up in the body from dental, food, and environmental sources are more difficult. It is generally agreed that to remove heavy metals from the body, it must be done through some form of chelation. A chelator is an agent, or a combination of agents, that binds to heavy metals and carries them out of the body in the urine or feces. One chelator in wide use is ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (edta), a man-made amino acid, which is dripped into the blood via an infusion through a vein. |

 There are certain drugs that can be administered to an exposed person that allows the heavy metal to work its way out of the body through the digestive tract. What must be seriously considered is that these drugs will also eliminate from the body most other heavy metals such as zinc and copper. This can prove to be especially dangerous since these elements are needed by the body in trace amounts in order to function properly.

 Some doctors have the idea that unexplained fatigue and chemical sensitivity are due to heavy metal toxicity. While exposure to heavy metals can cause many symptoms, there is no good evidence that heavy metals have any role at all in CFS, fibromyalgia (FM), multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Despite this, some practitioners frighten patients by telling them the mercury in their dental fillings may be the factor making them sick. This issue has been examined, and there is no evidence to support the assertion. |

 There was an article a few months ago about a girl in the United States who, for a science fair project, found heavy metal poisoning in canned foods made right here in the U.S. There was also another story about candy made in Mexico that contains lead as part of its coloring ingredient - it's being sold in the United States and it's perfectly legal, even though it is knowingly contaminated with lead. |

 Heavy metal exposure induces ROS (Freeman et al, 2004), and flavonols that accumulate after heavy metal stress may act both as metal chelators and antioxidants (Skorzynska-Polit et al, 2004; Brown et al, 1998; Malinowski et al, 2004). Anthocyanins also may have a role metal chelation and metal storage in vacuole (Hale et al, 2001, 2002). |
| For instance, reactive oxygen species (ROS) recently have been shown to play a significant role in plant development and environmental responses (Foreman et al, 2003; Freeman et al, 2004). heavy metal exposure induces ROS (Freeman et al, 2004), and flavonols that accumulate after heavy metal stress may act both as metal chelators and antioxidants (Skorzynska-Polit et al, 2004; Brown et al, 1998; Malinowski et al, 2004).

 TIP: GET ASSESSED FOR heavy metal TOXICITY
A naturopathic physician can determine the levels of heavy metals, such as mercury, in your system. These have a strong affinity with the nervous system and may contribute to depression.
HOMEOPATHY
Feelings that will respond well to the remedies suggested below are more appropriately described as the "blues," rather than a full-scale episode of moderate to severe clinical depression. The latter can be greatly helped by an experienced homeopathic practitioner. |

 One cause of ALS is heavy metal poisoning. I'm worried about all those gastric bypass patients who lose 150 pounds in six months. I'd like them to let me know how they're doing twenty to thirty years from now.
So how fast is too fast? Working with the results of the Biospherians, Dr. Walford and his colleagues calculated that a rate of 50 pounds lost per year would allow heavy metals to be safely flushed from the body.3 Hence my personal planned weight loss of 50 pounds, basically a pound a week, in the first year. Here's my rule: You just can't beat 1 pound per week! |
| They may rapidly lose 100 to 150 pounds, with their shrinking fat cells releasing enormous amounts of heavy metal "toxins" into their bloodstream, but I have yet to see a single one develop "detox" symptoms. Likewise, the scientists of Biosphere II lost one-third of their body mass in a year and had huge elevations in heavy metals measured in their bloodstream without any "detox" symptoms.

 I mean, it certainly is a heavy metal chelator -- diabetics have heavy metals for sure built up in the body -- and it is a tremendous antioxidant. It is in that metabolic pathway that is crucial. We put those three things in there to give the body a chance to take those sugars, and to do something with them in order to make the energy that is needed to function in the body.
Then we have a few other factors like vitamin A in there, not beta-carotene -- diabetics do not convert beta-carotene into vitamin A very well. |

 Metals and Genetics
One of the most interesting things in our polluted world is the whole issue of heavy metals and heavy metal toxicity. Seventeen of the thirty elements known to be essential to life are metals.8 These heavy metals are structural and form enzymatic catalytic components; they even act as signal transducers for activation of different DNA expressions.9 The best example of this is zinc. It is the first trace element to be recognized (in 1869) as a component of an enzyme, carbonic anhydrase. More than 300 enzymes are known to use zinc for proper functioning. |
| The various sets of MT are an important part of heavy metal detoxification. There seems to be a definite correlation between the activation of the MT genes and increased ability to deal with the toxicity of heavy metals. It is important to understand that MT, by its ability to bind zinc, may actually moderate the control of certain enzyme systems or RNA polymerases that use zinc. What we see here is that not only do we have a particular system that helps protect us against heavy metals, but also protects the health of our genes. |

 The bioenergetic effects of heavy metal poisoning and contamination also are expressed through this Integrator because of its robust links to the brain, blood marrow, and stomach, all places where heavy metals tend to accumulate when your body cannot process and expel them.
The emotional correlations to Energetic Integrator 11 relate to higher mental functions, particularly to the expression of memories and spatial awareness difficulties. |

 And then when the mainstream media takes this garbage and reports it as fact, I have to vigorously shake my head yet again like a 1980's heavy metal band riffing on a guitar solo. It's like all these people are just complete idiots. I don't mean that as a name-calling insult. I mean it as an accurate description of their lack of mental capacity. A personal really does have to be operating at an extremely low level of intelligence to reach the conclusions promoted by these medical researchers. |

 Magnesium protects cells from aluminum, mercury, lead, cadmium, beryllium and nickel, which explains why re-mineralization is so essential for heavy metal detoxification and chelation.
Magnesium protects the cell against oxyradical damage and assists in the absorption and metabolism of B vitamins, vitamin C and E, which are anti-oxidants important in cell protection. Recent evidence suggests that vitamin E enhances glutathione levels and may play a protective role in magnesium deficiency-induced cardiac lesions. |

 This antagonistic action of zinc with other metals has its value: it is a heavy metal antidote. Zinc aggressively competes with a variety of metals for absorption. Perhaps this is because it is so crucial for cellular function. In other words, the cells aggressively bind it. It is highly specific for blocking the absorption of cadmium, a heavy metal which causes lung and prostate disorders as well as cancer. Zinc also blocks the absorption of lead and other heavy metals. Whether exposed to heavy metals, toxic chemicals, smoke, radiation, or toxic gases, the consumption of zinc is a necessity. |

 These include the heavy metal and chemical industries through to bakeries and supermarkets. Housepainters are at risk because of chemicals in the paints, as are hairdressers who are exposed to chemicals in colourings and petrol station attendants surrounded by fuel fumes. Hobbies that utilise chemicals, such as photography, painting and gardening, can also be unsafe for the asthma sufferer.
Asthma flares can occur immediately on exposure to an offending substance or reactions may be delayed until evening. |

| Many antiperspirants contain aluminum, which is a toxic heavy metal associated with Alzheimer's and other diseases.14'15 While the function of underarm deodorants is to close skin pores so that one doesn't perspire in these areas, some of the deodorant's chemicals are absorbed into the body where they become stored as toxic waste. If you do choose to use an antiperspirant, read the labels to ensure that they are all natural ingredients.
Additives such as chemical flavor enhancers, dyes, and preservatives in food products can cause or contribute to problems ranging from allergies to cancer. |
| Cellulase plays the very important role of transporting nutrients into the body through the gut wall and moving heavy metal toxins out, which can alleviate multiple chemical sensitivities.
Amino Acids
There are twenty-two known amino acids in protein, of which eight (or nine, depending on sources consulted) are considered essential for human health. The value of protein depends on its amino acid profile. The body cannot make protein tissues from the foods we eat unless all eight essential amino acids are present at the same time, at the same meal. |
| Similarly, sounds from different music selections of folk and classical versus heavy metal did the same.
The researchers then experimented with prayer. Water that was spoken to consciously in prayer, blessing, or appreciation invariably resulted in organized, healthy and alive-looking ice crystals. Is it any wonder that most religions of the world have practices of blessing their food before eating it? |

 In fact, there's hardly a chemical or heavy metal being used in public health today that isn't safe enough to be injected into the bodies of children, if you believe these so-called health "experts."
What they don't seem to recognize is that virtually every study conducted on the "safety" of these chemicals has been fraudulently conducted and influenced by industry. It is in the interests of powerful corporations (drug companies and chemical manufacturers) to keep the public hoodwinked over the dangers of toxic chemicals. |

 When taken between meals, their role changes significantly; they assist with immune imbalances, heavy metal toxicity, inflammatory conditions, circulatory disorders, skin problems, constipation, water retention, inappropriate blood clots, heart disease, stroke, and cancer, among other health problems. The use of proteases for these conditions is the second most popular use of enzyme therapy after digestive applications. The logical reasons for their popularity are their many applications and the direct connection between proteins and illness. |
| Kidney imbalances can result from genetic disorders, xenobiotics (including heavy metal toxicity), kidney stones, and bacterial infections. Enzymes can help support overall kidney health by improving digestion and nutrient absorption, strengthening the immune system, aiding the process of balancing pH levels, and reducing inflammation of the kidneys during times of distress or illness. important note: If you are experiencing back pain in your midback, frequent urination or difficulty urinating, or burning or abdominal pain when you urinate, you should immediately seek medical attention. |

| In the case of mercury poisoning, the appearance of Candida is a coping mechanism by the body and a signal for assistance to rid it of the heavy metal that is wreaking havoc within all its systems.
There are so many factors that can cause chemical imbalances within the body and work against its ability to deliver health. This can be very confusing. But is there a common denominator? That is the subject of the next chapter, where we examine the body's one critical chemistry requirement for health. |

| The important thing here is that organisms that are deficient for these inducible MT genes are much more vulnerable to heavy metal toxicity than their normal counterparts.13 The heavy metal or MT factors that induce MT synthesis, which is the production of this particular protein from the DNA, are multiple. They include cadmium, zinc, copper, gold, silver, cobalamin, nickel, and bismuth. Hormones that induce MT include the glucocorticoids, progesterone, and estrogen. The catacholamines that induce MT include glucagon, angiotensin, and adenosine. |

>- Specialty lubricants, including specialty greases and synthetic lubricants, dielectric grease, silicone-based brake greases, heavy metalbased "moly" greases for lubricating shoepads, and synthetic motor oils. All the above chemicals and additives used in cars should be stored in a well-ventilated (to the outside air), cool place, preferably in sealed containers. Gloves should be used when these substances are handled, or, if this is not practicable, then hands should be washed shortly afterward. |

| CLEANSE AND FORTIFY PROGRAM
Individuals who have very toxic bodies from years of poor food choices, heavy antibiotic use, or exposure to heavy environmental pollution, or who suspect heavy metal toxicity need to cleanse their entire digestive systems and recolo-nize them with healthy bacteria. Toxins, certain drugs, fungus, and chemicals in the body can interfere with the body's abilities to properly digest, absorb, and assimilate nutrients that are essential to sustaining life and health. |

 When we think of the body's capacity to deal successfully with chemical, viral, heavy metal, and emotional stressors as analogous to a barrel that should never be filled to the point of overflowing, we can begin to see each choice we make as one that matters greatly. Nevertheless, as we make decisions that are important in keeping us healthy, we have to avoid, as best we can, living in a state of mental fear of every potential trigger that might surround us. How optimistically you perceive the world around you also impacts your stress level and your health. |
