In general, you may not be aware of
heavy metals and/or other harmful toxins saturating your body even though it is
trying to give you warning signs of their growing (and often overflowing)
presence. The body’s immune system can only withstand so much saturation by
external toxins over time, often culminating in symptoms that may include the
following:
 | Feeling “sick” all the time
|
| Chronic fatigue
|
| ”Foggy” thought processes
|
| Reactions to food additives/preservatives/chemicals
|
| Allergic reactions to everything
|
| Burning feet and other extremities
|
| Multiple chemical sensitivity (highly sensitive to
common chemical-induced smells from everyday scented products like perfumes,
dyes, detergents, fabric softeners, and air fresheners)
|
These are only general warning signs and this is by no
means a complete list. Also, in children, the appearance of the symptoms of
autism (slow developmental progress, difficulty verbalizing, etc.) can also be
an indication of heavy metal toxicity. Exposure to certain heavy metals is now
thought to contribute to childhood autism.

What Are These
Contaminants and How Do They Enter The Body?
|
The world, environment, and societies where we live
have made bodily contamination impossible to ignore. Through eating, breathing,
skin absorption, and everyday exposure to limitless products and chemicals made
and used by humans, contaminants find their ways into the body.
Over time these heavy metals, toxic chemicals and residues, plaques and other
unnatural intruders continue to slowly accumulate. If the body’s natural
detoxification pathways (such as the blood, lymph, and cerebral spinal fluid)
cannot eliminate them faster that they enter the body, the buildup can
eventually reach toxic (and dangerous) levels.
At birth, when first exposed to the outside world, the
body – guided by a genetic disposition inherited from the parents– begins
developing antibodies to defend against external poisons affecting the system.
During life the body keeps building antibodies in reaction to most everything it
encounters: cooked/processed foods (and their preservatives), chemicals/toxins
in the air and ground, other environmental contaminants, drugs, inoculations,
dental fillings, sexual partners, and other exposures.
As the body keeps building its protective wall of
antibodies, the immune system – like a cup gradually filling with liquid –
continues to fill over the years while the body continues to fight against
external invaders, forced to build and keep up the wall of antibodies.
Eventually, when the body has been fighting too hard and long, and the immune
system’s “cup” reaches its saturation point and finally overfills, the onset of
disease (cancer, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, or some
other chronic illness) often begins. No matter what the disease, its creation
began with the person’s first breath on this planet and can often be attributed
to the body’s constant bombardment from external toxins during life. Specific
detox programs can
gradually rid the body of its lifelong accumulation of toxins, allowing the
immune system to function more effectively and further promoting wellness in the
body.
Some of the body’s more commonly-encountered
contaminants are identified here.
HEAVY METALS:
Metal
|
Sources
|
Description
|
Aluminum
|
Antacids,
antiperspirants, baking powders, beverage/food cans, buffered aspirin,
canned foods, city water supplies, cookware and utensils, cosmetics, foil,
lipstick, ore smelting plants, processed cheeses, etc.
|
Abundant in today's
environment and toxic in excessive quantities, aluminum is mostly absorbed
through the skin, lungs, and intestinal tract. Aluminum toxicity seems to
affect the bones (causing brittleness or osteoporosis), kidneys, stomach,
and brain. Research suggests that it may also contribute to Alzheimer’s
disease, Parkinson’s disease, dementia, and other neurological disorders.
|
Arsenic
|
Chemical processing
plants, cigarette smoke, drinking water, fungicides, meats and seafood,
metal foundries, ore smelting plants, pesticides, polluted air, specialty
glass products, weed killers, wood preservatives, etc.
|
Extremely poisonous
as well as colorless and odorless, arsenic can enter the body through the
mouth, lungs and skin. Arsenic toxicity seems to predominantly affect the
skin, lungs and gastrointestinal system, and may cause nervous disorders,
deteriorated motor coordination, respiratory diseases, and kidney damage as
well as cancers of the skin, liver, bladder and lungs.
|
Cadmium
|
Air pollution,
batteries, ceramic glazes/enamels, cigarette smoke (both first and second
hand), tap and well water, food (if grown in cadmium-contaminated soil),
fungicides, mines, paints, power and smelting plants, seafood, etc.
|
Exposure to cadmium
can occur through inhalation or ingestion in places or situations where
cadmium products are used, manufactured, or ingested. Cigarette smoke is the
biggest source of cadmium toxicity, which seems to primarily affect the
lungs, kidneys, bones, and immune system. It may lead to lung cancer,
prostate cancer and heart disease, and also causes yellow teeth and anemia.
Cadmium also seems to contribute to autoimmune thyroid disease.
|
Lead
|
Air pollution,
ammunition, auto exhaust, batteries, containers for corrosives, contaminated
soil, cosmetics, fertilizers, foods (if grown in lead-contaminated soil),
hair dyes, insecticides, lead-based paints, lead-glazed pottery, pesticides,
solder, tobacco smoke, water (if transported via lead pipes), etc.
|
Lead is a
naturally-occurring neurotoxin. Although many lead-containing products (such
as gasoline and house paints) were banned in the 1970s, contamination still
occurs today mostly by drinking lead-contaminated water, breathing
lead-polluted air, and living in or near older painted buildings and certain
toxic industrial areas. Lead toxicity primarily targets the nervous system,
kidneys, bones, heart and blood, and poses greatest risk to infants, young
children and pregnant women. It can affect fetal development, delay growth,
and may also cause attention deficit disorder, learning disabilities,
behavioral defects, and other developmental problems.
|
Mercury
|
Air pollution,
barometers, batteries, cosmetics, dental amalgam fillings, freshwater fish
(such as bass and trout), fungicides, insecticides, laxatives, paints,
pesticides, saltwater fish (such as tuna and swordfish), shellfish, tap and
well water, thermometers, thermostats, vaccines, etc.
|
Both poisonous and
dangerous, mercury is found throughout our environments in many forms and
also in many household items. Mercury often permeates the ground we walk on,
and is also found in some childhood vaccines today because of its use as a
preservative. Mercury as used in dental fillings is the primary source of
toxic exposure, and in vapor form accounts for the majority of all exposures
(via inhalation). Mercury toxicity can affect the central nervous system,
kidneys and liver. Research suggests that this heavy metal may also
contribute to autism and multiple sclerosis.
|
Thallium
|
Infrared and
electric eye optical devices, foods (if grown in thallium-contaminated
soil), light-sensitive crystals, photocells, rodent and ant poisons (now
discontinued), contaminated cocaine (or what is thought to be cocaine),
semiconductors, etc.
|
Thallium is a toxic
heavy metal with no known biological function. Human contamination can occur
from oral ingestion as well as through the skins and lungs, especially if
exposed to thallium-contaminated dust from lead and zinc smelting plants,
pyrite burners, and similar processing sites. Thallium toxicity mainly
affects the nervous system, and can lead to maladies such as hair loss,
nerve degeneration, extremity numbness, and cataracts.
|
OTHER CONTAMINANTS:
Contaminants
|
Sources
|
Description
|
Arterial Plaque
|
Diet (such as
intake of fat, cholesterol, and sugar), lack of exercise, smoking, stress,
weight, etc.
|
This is a buildup
of fatty material, calcium, cell debris, connective tissue, and/or other
deposits that accumulate on the inner walls of arteries due to various
factors. The body builds up these plaque deposits to protect the artery’s
walls, and it can eventually lead to vessel narrowing, restricted blood
flow, stroke, and heart attack. Cardiovascular plaque and cerebrovascular
plaque refer to buildup in the blood vessels of the heart and brain,
respectively.
|
Mycoplasmas
|
Infected people
(via coughing, sneezing, etc.), self-replication, etc.
|
These are
microorganisms found living in the blood and cells of people with certain
chronic diseases. Both disease-causing and parasitic, mycoplasmas are
similar to typical bacteria but have no solid cell walls – resulting in a
shape-shifting ability that makes them hard to identify and eradicate.
Mycoplasmas are known to cause various unrelated diseases on their own as
well as act as co-pathogens in other diseases. They adapt well to changing
conditions and can move anywhere within the human body, invading and
attaching to either the inside or outside of their chosen host cells without
killing them. Different species of mycoplasmas have now been linked to
diseases like pneumonia, fibromyalgia, lupus, Alzheimer’s disease, chronic
fatigue syndrome, and many others.
|
PCB's
|
Contaminated air,
food, soil, water, etc.
|
These comprise the
large group of chlorinated liquid and solid chemicals no longer produced in
the U.S. but which still remain at large in the environment due to their
binding abilities and lengthy breakdown periods. PCBs still taint air, water
and soil in their places of manufacture, use, disposal, spillage, and
leakage. In these areas, exposure to PCBs can occur through skin contact,
inhalation, and ingestion of contaminated water, fish, and marine mammals.
|
Vaccination
Residues
|
Immunizations for
diphtheria, hepatitis B, Haemophilis influenzae type B (HIB),
measles/mumps/rubella (MMR), etc.
|
Harmful toxins can
remain in the body after certain vaccines for childhood and adult disease
prevention are given. These leftover toxins (such as thimerosol, a known
source of mercury and a suspected cause of childhood autism) can contribute
to heavy metal burden and lead to other dangers.
|
Pesticide Residues
|
Domestic and
imported fruits and vegetables (fresh, frozen and canned)
|
Non-organic fruits
and vegetables can contain various neurotoxins and carcinogens left over
from pesticide use. Ingesting such produce can result in dangerous levels of
such chemical residues in the body. Apples, pears, fresh peaches, winter
squash and spinach are among the produce commonly having highest pesticide
residue levels.
|
Chemtrail Residues
|
Aircraft
|
Non-contrail
substances sprayed from airplanes in streaks and web-like patterns at both
low and high altitudes are believed by many to contain chemicals for
population control, weather manipulation, large-scale vaccinations, and
other unknown and/or unproven government programs. (Contrails, by contrast,
are the normal white streams of cloud-like condensed water vapor that often
trail aircraft flying at high altitudes.) Analyses of spray residues have
revealed aluminum, barium, biological organisms, pathogens, and other
contaminants. Exposure can occur through the air via descending particles,
and reported exposure symptoms include skin rashes, sore throat, itchy eyes,
asthma attacks, and respiratory ailments.
