Heavy Metals

Around the year 1985 we became aware of the fact that heavy metals such as Copper, Zinc, Lead, Cadmium, Mercury and so on can increase the production of free radicals a million fold.

Free radicals are considered to be a root cause involved in all chronic diseases from rheumatism to arthritis, diabetes, MS, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, cancer and even speeding up the aging process. 

Environmental metals are amongst the most wide spread and deadly pollutants known to man.

How do I get heavy metal poisoning?

Heavy metal poisoning can occur in our bodies from a variety of sources, something as simple as drinking tap water, can and does, cause heavy metal poisoning. 

Copper from corroded water pipes can contaminate your drinking water and in turn contaminate your body.

Lead poisoning
Lead poisoning can result from water systems still using old plumbing in your house.

Mercury Poisoning
Mercury poisoning is by far the worst kind of heavy metal poisoning you can come in contact with.

Mercury is the one of the most toxic substances known to man and many people have it in their mouth right next to their brain in the form of mercury fillings.These mercury fillings corrode over time releasing mercury vapour in to your mouth which is then breathed in and deposited in your body.  Having mercury fillings (also known as amalgam fillings or silver fillings) renewed causes a lot of mercury to be released in to your body.
Mercury fillings are still considered safe to use by modern dentistry although the mercury filling once removed is treated as a toxic waste.

Pregnant mothers are now advised not to eat more than one tin of tuna a week due to the high levels of mercury content.
