Remove Heavy Metals
Heavy metals can accumulate in various tissues and organs throughout our body.
Chronic exposure to heavy metals can result in serious health problems, including neurological damage, kidney failure, liver damage, and bone disorders, amongst others.
The health issues depends on the distribution and accumulation of heavy metals in the various organs.
In the:
Bones: Lead and cadmium can accumulate, where they may be stored for years. Lead, for example, can replace calcium in bone tissue.
Liver: The liver is a primary organ for detoxification and can accumulate metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic.
Kidneys: The kidneys are involved in filtering blood and excreting waste products, making them a common site for accumulation of metals like cadmium and mercury.
Brain: Mercury, lead, and aluminium can cross the blood-brain barrier and accumulate in brain tissue, potentially causing neurological damage and issues like dementia.
Fat Tissue: Some heavy metals, such as mercury, can accumulate in fat tissue.
Hair and Nails: Metals like arsenic and mercury can be deposited in hair and nails, which can be used as biomarkers for exposure.
Teeth: Lead can accumulate in teeth, particularly in children.
Muscles: Some metals, such as thallium, can accumulate in muscle tissue.
Lungs: Inhaled metals, such as cadmium and lead, can accumulate in lung tissue.
Skin: Certain metals can also accumulate in the skin, though this is less common.
The accumulation of heavy metals in the body can lead to a wide range of health problems, depending on the specific metal, the level of exposure, and the duration of exposure.

How do we absorb heavy metals?
Heavy metals can enter the human body through various routes, including ingestion, inhalation, and dermal absorption. Here are the primary ways these metals find their way into our bodies:
Ingestion:
Contaminated Food: Consuming food that has been grown in soil contaminated with heavy metals or irrigated with contaminated water. Seafood, particularly large predatory fish like tuna and swordfish, can accumulate mercury.
Contaminated Water: Drinking water from sources contaminated with heavy metals such as lead pipes, industrial waste, or natural mineral deposits.
Dust and Soil: Ingesting dust or soil particles that contain heavy metals, especially in areas near industrial sites or old paint in homes (common in children).
Inhalation:
Air Pollution: Breathing in air contaminated with heavy metals from industrial emissions, vehicle exhaust, and coal combustion.
Occupational Exposure: Workers in industries such as mining, smelting, battery manufacturing, and welding may inhale metal dust or fumes.
Tobacco Smoke: Smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke can introduce cadmium and other metals into the lungs.
Dermal Absorption:
Skin Contact: Direct contact with contaminated soil, water, or industrial products can lead to absorption through the skin, though this is generally a less significant route compared to ingestion and inhalation.
Cosmetics and Personal Care Products: Some cosmetics, especially those from unregulated markets, may contain heavy metals like lead and mercury.
Medical and Dental Sources:
Medical Devices and Implants: Some medical devices and implants may contain metals like nickel, chromium, or cobalt, which can leach into the body.
Dental Amalgams: Dental fillings made from amalgam can release small amounts of mercury vapour over time.
Environmental and Occupational Exposure:
Industrial Waste: Living near or working in areas with improper disposal of industrial waste can lead to exposure to heavy metals.
Agricultural Chemicals: Use of pesticides and fertilisers that contain heavy metals can lead to contamination of food and water sources.
Household Sources:
Old Paint: Homes built before the late 1970s may have paint containing lead, which can deteriorate and create dust.
Consumer Products: Some consumer products, such as certain types of jewellery, toys, and ceramics, may contain heavy metals like lead and cadmium.
Natural Sources:
Geological Deposits: Natural weathering of rocks and minerals can release heavy metals into the environment, contaminating soil and water.
Leaching of Aluminium into Food:
Acidic Foods: Aluminium is more likely to leach into acidic foods (e.g., tomatoes, citrus fruits, vinegar-based dishes) and salty foods. Cooking or storing these types of foods in aluminium cookware can increase the amount of aluminium that migrates into the food.
Scratched or Pitted Cookware: Older or damaged aluminium cookware with scratches or pits can release more aluminium into food.
High Temperatures: Cooking at high temperatures can also increase the leaching of aluminium into food.
When heavy metals are effectively removed from the body, individuals often report a range of positive physical and mental changes. These can include:
Increased Energy Levels: Heavy metals like lead, mercury, and cadmium can interfere with cellular energy production. Their removal often leads to improved energy and reduced fatigue.
Improved Cognitive Function: Heavy metals can impair brain function, leading to issues like brain fog, memory problems, and difficulty concentrating. Detoxification may result in clearer thinking, better focus, and enhanced memory.
Better Mood and Emotional Stability: Heavy metals can disrupt neurotransmitter balance, contributing to mood swings, anxiety, and depression. Their removal may lead to improved mood and emotional resilience.
Enhanced Immune Function: Heavy metals can suppress the immune system, making the body more susceptible to infections and illnesses. Detoxification may strengthen immune responses.
Reduced Inflammation: Heavy metals can contribute to chronic inflammation, which is linked to various health issues. Their removal may alleviate joint pain, muscle stiffness, and other inflammatory symptoms.
Improved Digestive Health: Heavy metals can disrupt gut health, leading to issues like bloating, constipation, or diarrhoea. Detoxification may restore normal digestive function.
Healthier Skin: Heavy metals can contribute to skin problems like acne, rashes, or eczema. Their removal may result in clearer, healthier skin.
Better Sleep: Heavy metals can disrupt sleep patterns. Detoxification may lead to more restful and restorative sleep.
Reduced Chronic Symptoms: Conditions like headaches, muscle pain, and chronic fatigue may improve as the toxic burden on the body is reduced.
Overall Sense of Well-being: Many people report feeling lighter, more balanced, and healthier after heavy metal detoxification.
How can we remove heavy metals from our body?
Certain foods can support the body’s natural detoxification processes and help eliminate heavy metals. These foods often work by binding to heavy metals (a process called chelation), supporting liver function, or providing antioxidants that protect against oxidative stress caused by heavy metals. Here are some foods that can help:

14. Use Remove Heavy Metals Protocol
This protocol will remove the toxic heavy metals from your body, including organs and cells. The energy field pulls these heavy metals out of the cells to expel them from the body. This protocol will work on the whole body overall.
We have an advanced protocol that is a combination of energy fields that target individual heavy metals, and will penetrate deep into all organs and cells.
We recommend using this protocol twice daily. Don’t over do it. Give the body time to expel the heavy metals. Over-doing it will mean too much burden on the liver and kidneys.
Work with the energy twice daily for 21 to 40 days. Then, use it for at least 3 days every month to ensure your body remains free of all toxic heavy metals.
If you know you have specific issues, like memory problems, then we recommend the advanced protocol, which will allow you to target specific areas of the body.
Please remember that you’re working with natural energy fields. They have consciousness, so we recommend engaging with the energy fields for your particular issues. Visualise / imagine the energy flowing into those specific areas. Speak with your body and organs asking them to expel the heavy metals.
Lastly, this is a clearing process that will happen on the physical level. Make sure you drink plenty of water throughout the daily, sipping the water.
This protocol uses our subtle delivery system. We do not want to overwhelm the body during this purging process.
If the body feels tired, please allow for it to rest.
