Heavy Metal Detox | Body Detox for Heavy Metal

We absorb heavy metals from the food we eat, fluids we drink, and even through contact with other peoples' skin. Many issues within the body, such as headaches, bone aches, memory loss and skin discoloration result from an excess of heavy metal in the body. The old type of dental fillings contained mercury and also increased heavy metal in the body, and so they should be replaced with newer fillings which do not contain mercury. Another product which puts heavy metals into the body is deodorant, which contains aluminum (which counteracts body odor, but is not good for overall well-being).

Sauna Detox The "dry sauna" has long-since been a popular and well-knon way to reverse the symptoms one receives from mercury poisoning; this was first discovered through miners in Spain. A person with acute mercury poisoning would be instructed to use a dry sauna for about 20 minutes each day; this also helped in relaxing the kidneys.

Dry saunas are a cure for mercury poisoning because the mercury is released in the large amounts of perspiration giving off. This is more effective in eliminating the mercury than simply attempting to urinate more often, as sweat is composed of more mercury than urine.

Sweating

The skin is a very effective detoxification system, due to the fact that it is the one with the largest available surface area. Heavy metals and other waste materials are flushed out of the body through sweat. To detoxify and remove heavy metals, simply engage in light exercise; the recommended time is about 20 minutes, at least 3 times a day. When you are done with your exercise, you can also sit in the sauna for about 10 minutes to further increase your sweat output. However, always prevent dehydration by drinking plenty of water during these sessions. You should also consume grape, prune of vegetable juice to replenish the electrolytes lost during sweating.

Methionine: Through animal studies, we have determined that methionine prevents rats from suffering from the toxic nature of lead and mercury. Also, heavy metal remove through the urine increased 60% in patients who were consuming methionine.

Milk Thistle (silymarin): This supplment guards the liver from potentially dangerous heavy metals and toxins, and increased glutathione production within the liver itself.

Cilantro: Heavy metals and mercury are removed from the brain and nervous system when stimulated by cilantro, and moved to other tissues, having a less dangerous effect.
