Toxic Metals: The Reason You Still Feel Sick

Dr, Kaayla Daniel and Dr. Galen Knight have observed that even when people follow healthy dietary guidelines, they can still have serious health problems. They may digest their food poorly, experience digestive distress, or be generally sickly.

One reason may be toxic metals. Mercury, aluminum, cadmium, arsenic, lead, nickel, and other metal poisons flood the environment and invade your body. Toxic metals can cause or contribute to a long list of diseases including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and other brain and neurological disorders. While the medical establishment recognizes the acute toxicity that comes from high levels of metals in your body, far more people suffer the adverse effects of low-level, chronic exposure.

But you can reduce your exposure to dangerous environmental metals by:

  • Using glass, cast iron, carbon steel, titanium, and enamel cookware; aluminum and teflon are well known for their toxic dangers, and stainless steel can expose you to carcinogenic nickel

  • Minimizing consumption of restaurant food; restaurants are required to use stainless steel pots and vats

  • Avoiding stainless steel thermoses; the glass lined kind are best

  • Not using cosmetics with aluminum bases, mineral powders that contain bismuth, and aluminum-laden antiperspirants

  • Staying away from vaccinations that inject mercury or aluminum directly into your bloodstream

  • Avoiding dental amalgam fillings

Other ways to protect yourself include a healthy diet, and the use of food grade diatomaceous earth. More information about this subject will be discussed in my Inner Circle interview with Dr. Kaayla Daniel, coming soon to Mercola.com.

Great to see this as I find Toxic Metals at the very Cause of so many resistant and difficult health problems. I have posted about this many times. Every one of the following conditions will typically have very high metals and will not recover unless they are specifically targeted & removed, even if the diet is perfect...Autoimmune like MS, ALS, Lupus, RA, Psoriasis (metal coming out through the skin), Lyme's (people cannot get well from Lyme's unless the metals are handled), Autism, EMF illness, Parkinson's, Alzheimer’s, most Cancer, etc. I have found that All of the so called 'incurable' conditions are really Heavy Metal Toxicity problems...the transformation can be awesome. It's all about finding the exact cause, removing the stress & the body does what it does best....it heals itself assuming the diet is good. The problem with hair analysis & urine testing is that they ONLY show what came OUT of the body. Not good enough! I used to do this before I realized a much better way using Muscle Response Testing, specifically Nutrition Response Testing which will show exactly Where in the body, How much is in that area, Specifically what types of metals & how many, and provides a very exact measuring system that shows that the levels are actually getting less and less INSIDE the body which is so much more precise than urine-hair testing which I used to do in the past with minimal results. There is no comparison. I agree with the authors that chelation therapy is neither natural nor wise. There is a much better, more effective, safer, & natural way that is purely individualized based on proper testing to ensure 100% clearance of metals from the body. Every case I saw that had DMSA, EDTA still had high levels so don't waste your $. Get checked and save your life & the life of future generations. You will pass it on if you don't handle it.

JaySee,
The reason why DMSA and other aggressive chelation methods do not work well is that they simply do not take into consideration the individual needs of the body.  A one size fit all approach does not work well at all, especially when it comes to being certain that metals are coming out.  There is no simple answer I can give you as far as what remedy to use as it all depends on the Testing.  I have anywhere between 30-50 awesome products that that I draw from that can do the job and my testing determines the one or two that is perfectly matched for the individual.  For ex. I have many autism and MS patients that are all doing incredibly well but they are all on somewhat of a different program often with very different remedies because their individual biological needs must be considered and it is my testing which determines exactly what products to use along with testing their current state of health, mineral levels, etc. If I just guessed what product to use and put everyone on the same thing (which is what most are trained to do) my results would be very poor.  I used to do this and that is the reason why a shotgun approach like DMSA often has poor outcomes.  Some get better if you're lucky but most do not.  I see an awful lot of patients that have been down this road before seeing me but yet they still have very high levels of metals in their body.  It all comes down to the Testing which includes being screened for 16 metals (aluminum, arsenic, antimony, cadmium, chromium, copper, gold, iron, lead, manganese, mercury, nickel, silver, tin, titanium, zinc).  This way there is absolutely no guessing, hoping, or praying that the metals will come out.  This really is a major breakthrough in natural healing.  When my website is up and running again, I will try to have referral network in place for other docs that do this work in the usa.

I have to say of all of the articles i read on Heavy Metals testing etc etc, NHC (Dr John) have by far impressed me the most. If i lived in NY i would most certainly visit his clinic. I would pass this info on to my relatives that live there though and who knows maybe one day i could be in the area....Great work Doc and thanks for your insights and great posts........

This makes so much sense to me NHC.  You are always so informative Doc.  Thank you for sharing your insight and wisdom here!  I see you are in NY and not far from me which is great!  Makes sense that we should all get tested for metals in our body.
