Heavy metals alert – How to safely detoxify the body
(NaturalHealth365) According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the average American has over 700 chemicals in his or her body – a terrible toxic burden, and one our bodies are ill-equipped to handle. Exposure to toxic chemicals and heavy metals is occurring at a level unprecedented in human history – triggering the development of devastating illnesses such as Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, autoimmune disease and cancer.
The solution, says nutritionist Wendy Myers, is a comprehensive program of detoxification, diet and lifestyle changes that can rid your body of harmful heavy metals naturally.
Discover the best way to safely remove heavy metals and other pollutants from the body. On the next NaturalHealth365 Talk Hour, Jonathan and Wendy Myers, FDN – a functional diagnostic nutritionist – talk about how to prevent and REVERSE the damage and disease symptoms caused by the exposure to heavy metals. If you suffer from low energy, “brain fog,” headaches or adrenal fatigue – do NOT miss this important show.

How heavy metals and mineral deficiencies spell trouble for human health
Metal poisoning is due to an unhealthy accumulation of metals within the body. Since the human body has no biological need for substances such as mercury, it doesn’t take much to constitute an excessive amount.
As if the toxic effects of metals weren’t bad enough, mineral deficiencies – which are widespread – cause the body to try to absorb whatever minerals it can, in an attempt to fill the void. It’s an unhealthful “double whammy” that can lead to a downward spiral of illness. According to Myers, common causes of mineral deficiencies include environmental toxins, improper diet – including supposedly “healthy” vegetarian and vegan diets – genetics, improper supplementation, medications and stress.
Completely avoiding heavy metal exposure is an impossible task; these toxins are everywhere. While acute heavy metal poisoning is rare, cases of chronic low-level exposure – which still present a deadly threat to human health – are widespread.

Hair testing reveals your level of toxicity and deficiencies
Used by many integrative healthcare providers, a ‘hair mineral analysis’ uses a small sample of hair to screen for 37 different minerals – which can reveal mineral deficiencies and heavy metal toxicity within the body. The test is simple, inexpensive, non-invasive, and can be done at home.
Hair mineral analysis is superior to blood or urine tests, reports Myers, as the hair is one of the first areas in the body to show mineral deficiencies. The body re-routes minerals from less important tissues – such as hair – to the blood, which requires precise amounts of minerals.
Of course, once you gather all the information from a test – it’s important to come up with a plan of action for detoxification. This is where a trained healthcare provider is crucial for success. A word of caution: if you’re suffering with a serious health problem – detoxification MUST be done carefully to avoid causing more harm than good.
On the next NaturalHealth365 Talk Hour, we’ll talk about the signs and symptoms of heavy metal toxicity; how to properly test and detoxify the body plus much more!
