How Much "Bling"
Are You Wearing IN your Body?
Our younger generations
have a word for expensive metal jewelry these days. They call
it "bling".
Did you know you might be wearing harmful levels of heavy
metals in your cardiovascular system, kidney and liver?
We're not talking trace elements of metals like copper, zinc,
iron and selenium that are absolutely essential for human
health, although these metals would be dangerous in higher
levels.
What is the solution?
All humans who take part in society ingest, inhale or are
exposed to excess amounts of some "dangerous" heavy metals
which accumulate internally from external sources:
- A community's supply of water (lead
pipes)
- Rain breaking down the elements in
the soil which permeates the lungs (multiple metals)
- Flame retardants in clothes, bedding
and drapery (antimony)
- Cooking pots and foil (aluminum)
- Eating too much tuna (we need a little
mercury, but could pick up too much this way)
- Batteries (cadmium, nickel)
- Paint, cement, rubber (chromium)
How about the fillings in our teeth?
In recent years it's been confirmed that "silver" tooth fillings,
which are really mercury, can have grave effects on the entire
immune system. After being in the mouth for long periods,
the metals begin breaking down and releasing into the gums
and saliva, then into the bloodstream and traveling throughout
the body.
Severe headaches, repetitive infections, digestive problems,
changes in heart rhythm and many more ailments are being associated
with deterioration of metal dental fillings and other heavy
metals.
You can stop eating tuna and have metal fillings replaced
with composite resins and porcelain, but that will just solve
the mercury problem. To ensure cleansing your organs, blood
and entire immune system from accumulated heavy metals, plus
unclog your arteries of other unwanted plaque, debris and
toxins, a better choice is to periodically "detox" in a process
called oral chelation.
