Heavy metal poisoning, or heavy metal toxicity, is a dangerous condition that causes many debilitating symptoms. It’s caused by toxic amounts of heavy metals that accumulate in the soft tissues of the body.
The symptoms vary depending on which metal gets accumulated. In humans, metals most commonly associated with poisoning are lead, mercury, arsenic and cadmium. The detox process is not a simple and quick one. It requires the right professional guidance or you might suffer further health problems.
Heavy Metal Poisoning
We are exposed to heavy metals and chemicals on a daily basis. They slowly accumulate in the body and might start presenting with symptoms we don’t initially associate with toxicity.
Some people are more prone to developing heavy metal toxicity either because of their lifestyle (e.g. exposure to toxins, diet) or genetic predisposition. It has been established that almost half of the population carries a mutated Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene and enzyme (some people are even born without it), which makes them less able to process toxins and detox naturally. These people will show symptoms earlier and they need additional support to be able to get rid of the ill effects of pollutants.
When it comes to detox from heavy metals, exercise caution and don’t attempt any dramatic approaches. For many, expert guidance, that will take into consideration their individual characteristics, is a must. This article provides some basic detox suggestions and can be a starting point for your future explorations.
Sources of Heavy Metal Exposure
Long-term success will often depend on the ability to identify the source of your poisoning. You can follow all the protocols you want, but if the source is not eliminated, you’ll just carry on poisoning yourself.
Mercury poisoning, for example, is most often caused by consuming contaminated fish and seafood, or according to some sources having mercury dental fillings (mercury amalgams or silver fillings).
Your first step should be to stop eating fish that is questionable or to change your fillings (according to some sources). For the latter, be extremely careful to get a properly qualified dentist as amalgams need to be extracted correctly.
Reasons for Heavy Metal Detox
Many consider a regular detox a part of their life regimen, and it can indeed improve one’s health and body condition. You may also want to detox your body if you have these top signs that your body is toxic.
Detoxs and fasts have become increasingly popular and fashionable, but that doesn’t mean that they are a cure for everything and everyone. Some more extreme approaches can be unsafe and push an already tired body over the edge, so choose the right place, time and protocol for your needs.
It’s definitely a good idea to try and remove metals from your body before you become plagued with symptoms of poisoning, ranging from fatigue and mental health problems to central nervous system damage. Anyone with already developed symptoms can use a detox to help resolve them.
