Heavy metal toxicity can be the underlying cause of a wide range of health problems. This list shows just some of them:
autoimmune diseases
candida
food intolerances
histamine intolerance
anaemia
heart disease
diabetes 2
digestive disorders
low enzyme activity
fatigue and low energy
kidney dysfunction
liver dysfunction
skin problems
anxiety, panic attacks
agitation, irritability
hostility, aggression
anger, rage
violent thoughts and actions
mood swings
depression
suicidal tendencies
anti-social behaviour
confusion, disorientation
loss of coordination
low memory retention
cognitive impairment
The most common heavy metals causing these problems are LEAD, MERCURY, CADMIUM and ALUMINIUM. Avoiding exposure is difficult as they occur naturally in the air, water and soil. Other common sources are food, cigarettes, bushfire smoke and exhaust fumes.
Some heavy metals have excretion half-lives that last for decades. Zeolite can speed up the excretion rate because of its ability to quickly trap a wide range of heavy metals along with other harmful substances.
LEAD is absorbed by ingestion and inhalation, stored in the kidneys, bone marrow, liver, brain, bones, teeth and hair and excreted in urine, faeces and breast milk.
MERCURY is absorbed through the skin, by inhalation and ingestion, stored in the kidneys, blood, spleen, brain, liver, bones, breast milk, hair and fatty tissues and excreted through bile, saliva, the pancreas, the kidneys, skin, breast milk, finger nails, toe nails and hair.
CADMIUM is absorbed through inhalation and ingestion, stored in the liver, kidneys, pancreas, blood, the salivary glands and bones and excreted through the kidneys and liver but excretion rate is normally very low.
ALUMINIUM is absorbed through inhalation and ingestion, stored in the lungs, liver, thyroid, bones and brain and excreted through the urine, in faeces and in breastYour Content Goes Here
