Complete Guide to Toxic Heavy Metals - How You Get Exposed, Sick, and What to Do About It

The poisons wrecking your health that your doctor doesn’t want to talk about.

This is the complete guide to toxic heavy metals - how you get exposed, sick, and what to do about it:

Sources of Heavy Metal Exposure

The main heavy metals of concern are aluminum, nickel, cadmium, lead, arsenic, and mercury.

Due to pollution and industrialization, these elements that normally reside deep in the earth have been introduced to our environment in unprecedented amounts.

As a result, heavy metals have made their way into damn near every aspect of our modern lives.

• Vegetables - due to soil contamination

• Grains (especially brown rice)

• Canned foods - using metals

• Chocolate (especially dark)

• Pesticides - which incorporate heavy metals

• Seafood (especially larger fish) - as the ocean gets contaminated from pollution

• Vaccines

• Water

• Medical devices

• Cigarettes / vapes

• The air itself

• Supplements

• Dental devices

• Utensils

• Aluminum foil

• Cookware (+ utensils)

• Drugs

• Jewelry

• Tattoos

• Glassware

• Cars (especially working on engines)

• Batteries

• Wires

• Paint (especially old)

• Piping

• Sewage

• Ceramic

• Gasoline/oil

• Grills/charcoal

• Personal care products

• Cosmetics

• Baking powder

• Food additives

If you work in a lab, with batteries, cars, if you’re a welder, electrician, or any type of manual labor that requires contact with metal, oil, gas, or other industrial processes, chances are you’re getting disproportionately exposed to these.

Heavy Metal Toxicity Signs & Symptoms

These poisons have such a fundamental way of disrupting normal biology/biochemistry that they can impact nearly every aspect of health.

• Mental/cognitive health

• Fat gain

• Hormonal disruptions

• Liver problems

• Cancer

• Gut issues - IBS, IBDs

• Respiratory issues

• Fatigue

• Kidney problems

• Heart diseases

Mechanisms of Heavy Metal Toxicity

While metals can be toxic, our body needs certain metals, or minerals. Zinc, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, etc. etc.

These are essential elements that are intertwined, literally, with every fiber of our being. Toxic heavy metals use this property, essentially “hacking” the role of many of these nutrients, due to their chemical similarity.

As a result, they:

• Bind to native proteins and enzymes

• Deplete antioxidants

• Cause oxidative stress

• Drive inflammation

• Increase intracellular calcium

• Impair mitochondrial function
