"Heavy Metal Removal"

Removing Heavy Metals in our body is a process that I am learning, and will continue to learn about as I continue my treatment, learn from my doctors and do my personal research.

One thing that is very simple and economical is EPSOM SALT AND SODA BATHS 3x/week. You take one-half cup of Epsom Salt and Baking Soda in a tub of just less than hot water. Soak for 1-20 minutes. I recommend 20 minutes, personally. Massage all parts of your body with your hands or a soft cloth. One to five tablespoons of olive oil can be added as a skin lubricant and emollient.

I have tried a product by Beeyoutiful.com who is very mindful of providing trustworthy, safe, and pure products. It is called Eucalyptus Bath Salts and it contains Epsom Salt, European Spa Salt, Dead Sea Salt, Organic Olive Oil, Jojoba Oil, Grape Seed Oil, Eucalyptus Essential Oil, and Natural Coloring. Normally, when I take a soak in the tub in just warm water the tub drains clear, but when I soaked in this special remedy I was amazed to see a ring of black soot left on my tub. It almost looked like gunpowder was washed off my body.

I can tell you in just one soak I felt calm, soothed, eased, and stress-free when done.My body and my mind were whole again. I can’t imagine how I will feel after a few more! Also with Beeyoutiful’s product your skin is soaking in natural emollients and it will feel baby soft. If you don’t mind a little Eucalyptus as a part of your soak you will love this. It opened up my airways and refreshed me. So, “proof is in the pudding” as they call it, Epsom Salt Baths work. But, if you want a more basic recipe follow the one I described. It was provided to me by my doctor.

In addition to heavy metal removal Epsom salt has many other benefits: It reduces inflammation to relieve pain and muscle cramps, exfoliates dead skin, improved nerve functions through electrolyte regulation, improved heart and circulatory health, helps the body make more efficient use of insulin reducing the incidence or severity of diabetes, relieves constipation, improves oxygen, improves absorption of nutrients, improved formation of joint proteins, prevents or eases migraine headaches, can be replacement therapy for magnesium deficiency/help aid in it, relieves symptoms of fibromyalgia and osteoporosis, is used to treat pre-eclampsia, Epsom salts may be given as first aid for barium poisoning, ease stress, calms and relaxes, and can be used to flush liver and the gall bladder.

VITAMIN C—is a natural detoxifying agent as well as an essential building block. I first recommend that you get a trustworthy product that is mindful of quality and safety. Also, it is suggested to me that it be a buffered C for absorbency and ease on the stomach.

I have learned that the way you know you are getting enough C for YOUR body is this:

Start taking 2, 1000mg tablets/capsules; 2x/day the first day, then add one daily until you have a loose stool. Once you reach that, back up and take the dose you were taking the day before. This is how much vitamin C you personally need. By doing this process you discover not only the amount of C you need, but it acts as a colon cleanse, helps to start detoxify your body, is a natural anti-oxidant protection against toxic agents released from the detoxification process, and it removes heavy metals from the body over time.

You may choose another version of this. Instead of tablets you can do a powder form. Dissolve 1 teaspoon (3.2 grams) of buffered abcorbate (vitamin C) in 2 ounces of water, juice, or herbal tea. The buffered C should contain calcium, magnesium, zinc and potassium. Allow it to dissolve for about 2 minutes, then drink. Repeat every 30 minutes until you have a loose stool. Keep the track of number of teaspoons you take so once you reach that point you can back up to the number of teaspoons you took before that occurred. That amount is what your body personally needs. As your body absorbs this regular dose each day it will gradually adjust to where it will need less and once that happens you will see loose stool again. This indicates you do not need to take as much and you can back up a dose until you no longer have a loose stool. Vitamin C has so many properties to help our body heal and restore. It is essential for our health. BEVKO is a product line that is a brand my doctor strongly recommends to me, and is very mindful of making sure food allergens are not present. You can order online.

ALFALFA AND IONIZED DISTILLED WATER: A nutritional specialist shared this with a friend of mine to remove heavy metals. Take the recommended amount of Alfalfa with ionized distilled water. The Alfalfa has properties in it that work like a magnet with the ionized distilled water and pull the heavy metals out of the cells and dispose them. And as a team, Alfalfa with Vitamin C work as a natural antihistamine. Alfalfa is a treasure for cleansing the body and providing chlorophyll. It has many benefits.

CHLORELLA: This is well known for its ability to bind and remove mercury toxins from the body and the brain as well as other heavy metals. Chlorella is green, single-celled micro-algae that supplies high levels of beta-carotene, Vitamin B-12, iron, RNA, DNA, and protein. It is rich in chlorophyll, which has so many benefits. It boosts your immune system and also aids in the digestion of your food. The chlorophyll aids in processing more oxygen in your body, cleanses and purifies key elimination systems like the bowel, liver, and blood. It removes toxins, optimizes your blood pressure, eliminates molds throughout your systems, neutralizes the air you breathe in, and promotes growth and repair of tissues and cells in the body. You may find this at Beeyoutiful.com also. There are other forms such as powder that you may be able to find if you prefer to put it in a health shake or have it in some other way.

MAGNESIUM: This is so important for the rest of the nutrients in your body to assimilate. Magnesium promotes the proper functioning of your immune system and body enzymes. This helps in activating detoxification in your cells. It aids even in the removal of lead and aluminum. Our bodies need this to have ultimate health.

Deficiency in Magnesium has been proven to be linked to many illnesses: Diabetes, stroke, PMS, depression, migraines, metabolic syndrome, heart disease, anxiety attacks, asthma, blood clots, bowel disease, cystitis, fatigue, hypertension, hypoglycemia, kidney disease, liver disease, musculoskeletal conditions, nerve problems, cramps, muscle spasms, vertigo, confusion, serotonin imbalance, sleep problems, spasms of blood vessels, enzyme under-function, Reynaud’s Syndrome, tooth decay. Without Magnesium, Vitamin D and Calcium cannot absorb correctly or effectively into the body the way that is needed.

An excellent source of magnesium is DERMAMAG magnesium chloride oil (magnesium direct.com or 1-888-249-8574), which goes on the skin topically. You just spray it on your arms and legs. It absorbs in the body more quickly and is more affective in the cases especially when the gut cannot absorb well. I ran this by my doctor, who is STRICT. She reviewed it and was impressed with this product.

Some foods rich in magnesium that you can make a part of your diet are: pumpkin, Brazil nuts, spinach and in fish like halibut and aloe, artichoke, tuna, oat bran, beans, cornmeal and more.

PLENTY OF PURIFIED WATER: Water is key in making sure everything in your systems is being flushed out. If you do not drink enough water in a day your body becomes like a toilet that has not been flushed for a long time, or like pipes backing up in a septic system. All those toxins in your body are just sitting in your gut and are very harmful to your body. It also puts you at risk for getting cancer, bowel disease and eventually affects the rest or your organs and tissues in your body. Water aids your body in absorbing oxygen as well. The best kind of purification for water is Reverse Osmosis.

MILK THISTLE TEA OR HERB also referred to as silymarin, helps your liver detoxify while assisting in eliminating heavy metals. Milk thistle also protects the membranes of red blood cells. Also, my husband told me he can drink a cup of Milk Thistle Tea (organic advised) and he will not need to take an anti-acid. It calms the digestive system naturally. He has asked me to get more!

CILANTRO: is a simple way to aid in eliminating heavy metals, including mercury, from your body. Cilantro aids in heavy metal detoxification by restoring the normal functions of your body cells. Cilantro can be easily added to a simple dish such as salads, steamed vegetables and soups. It can also be pureed with other foods to make sauces, gravies and can be sprinkled onto grilled meat or into the slow cooker.

VITAMIN B-6 is needed if you have undergone dental procedures or have any metal dental fillings. It helps the body maintain resistance to the contamination of heavy metals in the body. Vitamin B-6 is in many of our foods. You can Google foods with vitamin B-6 to find out what you can add into your daily diet to ensure you are building a strong resistance against metal toxicity.

The nice thing is there are several ways to cleanse heavy metals from our systems. We can take a soak in the tub several times a week, flush our systems with Vitamin C, spray that magnesium, drink a cup of hot tea, sprinkle some herbs onto our food, or make a healthy meal with plenty of raw foods rich in these nutrients.

I have mentioned a few company names you can refer to for trustworthy products. They are simply resources I have used and have had positive experience with as well as results with. They are high-quality and safety-minded, and I am very particular about making sure what I put into my body and my family's body is pure and safe.

The key is that you go to trustworthy and well respected resources, because there are companies out there who do not provide quality, do not make sure what you are getting is free of contaminants and do not care to ensure you are taking in natural ingredients. I do not recommend synthetic versions of vitamins. They are inferior to the real thing. Everything we put in our body should be live food, not chemically and synthetically derived.

Also, taking a good multi-vitamin is really important in making sure your body is fed with the replacing nutrients needed, which have been sapped from your body when trying to resist what heavy metals have imposed on it.

I hope this helps encourage you that no matter what exposure you have experienced with heavy metals you can restore your body and make it whole again!

Hope this helps you feel better!
