How do I determine my Metal Toxic Load?

The first step is to find out what you are being exposed to. More than likely, if it is in your environment, it is in you. We advise doing a hair analysis or a Urine Toxic Elements Test to determine your toxic load. Note: hair analysis is not to be used alone to assess overall health but is an accurate indicator of what you are being exposed to and how efficiently your body is eliminating those substances. Quest Diagnostics recommends urine as the best specimen for the analysis of metals such as arsenic in body fluids. Blood levels tend to be low even when urine concentrations are high.

How do I avoid heavy metal exposure?

The only way to avoid exposure is to eliminate your exposure. It is virtually impossible to totally avoid the exposure due to our industrial society, but what one can do is locate items within one’s control. This includes checking the ingredients in everyday items found in the home – such as cookware, body soaps, lotions and antiperspirants – to checking food labels and drinking and cooking with purified water. Choose glass bottled drinks instead of canned drinks. On food labels, be aware that artificial colors and dyes are made from heavy metals.

Vaccines, drugs and dental fillings are also sources of heavy metal exposure. If you have metal-based dental fillings, get them replaced with safer porcelain fillings.

Be aware that most restaurants use canned foods. Substitute fresh or frozen foods for canned foods whenever possible.

Do you recommend any supplement aide to combat exposure?

First, we need to look at not putting the metals into your body. Next, we need to address the number one most important issue: “Am I properly eliminating toxins daily?” Then we recommend a good multiple vitamin, a good chelated trace minerals supplement and Chlorella, which is a type of algae that has the unique ability to get the heavy metals out of the brain, liver, heart and lung tissue. Note that this product is NOT the same as Super Blue Green Algae or Spirulina.

Another Heavy Metal Detoxification which we use utilizes Chlorella Growth Factor Energized Chlorella Homaccord and Organic Coriandrum Sativum Tincture (Cilantro Leaf).

Obviously, the most accurate way to know if you have an issue is to get tested. This takes the guesswork out of your nutritional regimen.
