There is a direct relationship between developmental delays,
learning problems and behavioral problems and mercury
poisoning and heavy metal poisoning. In fact, a 2000 National
Academy of Sciences report stated that toxic chemicals and other
environmental factors cause about 3 percent of all developmental
and neurological disorders in U.S.
Mercury poisoning and heavy metal poisoning can also produce
physical health damage. Heavy metal toxicity can be mistaken for
(or possibly cause) other chronic conditions such as autism,
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, fibromyalgia, depression, Multiple
Sclerosis, and a host of other serious disorders.
If you have been diagnosed with a chronic physical or mental
health condition, discuss
heavy metal cleansing with your
healthcare professional. A heavy metal detox to remove the
effects of mercury poisoning and heavy metal poisoning might
greatly improve symptoms, and is of the better
ADHD remedies
for addressing the problem at its root level.
Behind lead, mercury is the second most common metal toxin.
Mercury, a poisonous neurotoxin, is found in "silver" amalgam
dental fillings, children's vaccinations, pesticides, paint
pigments and solvents, fertilizers, laxatives, drinking water,
mascara, automobile exhaust, floor waxes and polishes, plumbing,
adhesives, bleached flour, processed foods, batteries, and baby
powder.
"Silver" fillings contain 45 to 52 percent mercury. The World
Health Organization concluded that the daily intake of mercury
from amalgam dental fillings exceeded the combined daily intake
of mercury derived from air, water and food. Numerous research
studies show that even small amounts of mercury can damage the
brain, heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, thyroid gland, pituitary
gland, adrenal gland and suppress the body's immune system.
Human autopsy studies found a direct correlation between the
amount of mercury found in the brain and the number of mercury
fillings in teeth.
Thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative used in vaccines, is
suspect for producing neuro-developmental disorders including
autism, developmental delays, tics, Attention Deficit Disorder
and behavior problems. Although this connection is heavy debated
(mostly by pharmaceutical companies that produce thimerosal
vaccines), it is better to err on the side of health and safety,
especially when equally effective vaccines are available. For
every vaccine that contains thimerosal, there is at least one
thimerosal-free brand. Demand thimerosal-free vaccines for your
babies.
Children are especially susceptible to toxic metal exposure.
Because the child's body is small and even small amounts of
lead, mercury and other heavy metals can produce high
concentrations in the blood. This exposure is especially
damaging to a child's still developing brain. If your child has
learning or behavioral issues, removing heavy metals and other
toxins can improve symptoms.
Heavy Metal Detox: Physical symptoms of
heavy metal toxicity and
symptoms lead poisoning include:
- Chronic pain in the muscles, tendons or soft tissues of
the body.
- Brain fog.
- Mood swings, depression and/or anxiety.
- Chronic malaise.
- Chronic infections.
- Gastrointestinal complaints.
- Food allergies.
- Migraines, dizziness and/or headaches.
- Visual disturbances.
Chelation
EDTA Therapy -
Heavy Metal Detoxification for Mercury Poisoning and Heavy Metal
Poisoning
Detoxification of heavy metal takes an opposite approach to
traditional health care. Instead of taking pharmaceutical drugs
to address symptoms, a heavy metal detox removes the root cause
of the symptoms.
Chelation therapy is widely recognized as an
effective heavy metal detoxification for people with lead
poisoning, mercury poisoning, and other heavy metal toxicities.
EDTA is the most commonly used chelator for heavy metal
detox. EDTA (ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid) attaching
itself to heavy metals and carries the metals from the body.
EDTA can also slow free-radical activity produced by heavy
metals in the body.
The US Navy began using EDTA in the 1940's for the treatment of
lead toxicity with sailors who received lead poisoning from
painting and living in ships with lead-based paints. Health
professionals have used EDTA for over 50 years for heavy metal
removal. EDTA is completely safe, FDA-approved for treating lead
poisoning and toxicity from other heavy metals.
Vaxa
TriCardia, a heavy metal and
lead chelation
detoxification therapy, is designed to
cleanse and detox the body of heavy metals and wastes. This
heavy metal detoxification also cleanses the cardiovascular
system, the liver, kidneys, gallbladder and lymphatic system.
TriCardia uses 1.2 grams of free form EDTA along with 31 other
free form amino acids, a series of ascorbate complexes and
phytomedicinals to aid the removal of heavy metals such as
mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, nickel and aluminum while
supporting the heart, liver and other organs.
