Most ‘USDA-certified organic foods’ are NOT tested for heavy metal toxins like:
- Lead!
- Cadmium!
- Mercury!
“ORGANIC”
= Simply implies the PROCESS by which food is grown.
Certified Organic foods can contain heavy metal toxins because these toxins are found:
- In the AIR
- In the SOIL
- In the WATER
- once these toxins enter the environment, it is near impossible to remove them.

How Do Heavy Metals Harm Us Anyway?
- Disrupt chemical reactions / Blocks nutrient absorption
- Interfere with immune defense and healing processes
- Carcinogenic (cause cancer!)
- Cause GENETIC changes that get passed on to your CHILDREN.
- Imitate symptoms of other serious issues like: diabetes, cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s and dementia.

“What’s a ‘Detox’?”
-> Detoxification is a daily process.
-> Every cell has its own detox process.
-> Entire Organs dedicated to detoxification.
- liver
- Kidneys
- Bladder
ALSO:
- Lungs
- Skin/Hair/Nails
CHELATION – removal
- Administration of chelating agents to bind to metals so they can be more easily excreted.
- The above process involves the Metals being pulled out of bones, organs etc. allowing them to get into the blood stream.
- Thus, aggressive detoxification can cause acute toxicity.
- See a Detox Professional if considering using chelating agents
- Consider supporting your body’s natural detoxification processes with food (see below)
FOODS (that naturally chelate heavy metals)
- Cilantro
- Chlorella
- Lemons
- Garlic
- Seafood (veggies)
- Strawberries
- Orange peel
- Beets
- Other Metals
- Activated Charcoal
+ EXECISE / Sweating!!
“The idea that you have to get worse before you can get better is similar to the iron-pumping slogan no pain no gain” – (Mike Adams, ‘Food Forensics: the hidden toxins luring in your food and how you can avoid them for lifelong health.’2016.)

7 TIPS FOR A HEALTHY DETOX
TIP #1
‘AVOID’
- IDENTIFY: Toxins in Food, Water, Medicine, Personal care, Cleaning and Garden products, etc…
- AVOID Toxins+ get them out of your house & reform behavior/purchasing habits.
- REPLACE – with better options (this takes a little looking)
- SUPPORT – your natural detoxification processes via diet (see tip#4) and exercise.
TIP #2
WATER FILTER
- ‘Zerowater’ brand
- ‘The Big Berkey’
- ‘Zen Water’
+ Reverse Osmosis (removes ALL nutrients from water)
TIP #3
USE PLANTS TO FILTER AIR INSIDE
or – HEPA air filtration system
TIP #4
DEFENSIVE EATING
- Eat naturally detoxifying foods
- Eating some foods together allow immediate elimination
- Seaweed (Dulse is best) and Sushi Tuna ( properties in the seaweed eliminated 60-90% of the mercury as they get digested together!)
TIP #5
EDUCATE
- Educate yourself as to which typical ‘Health Foods’ are high in heavy metals
*more info on this subject coming soon*
- General rule – anything made in: China, India or Thailand – will be higher in heavy metal toxins.
TIP #6
SAUNA / SWEAT LODGE!
- MUST be hot enough to make you sweat!
- MUST wash sweat off (or else toxins will be reabsorbed)
