RISING WOMEN EXPERT ADVICE...
I’ve heard that many unrelated health issues
within my body can be the result of an unbalanced thyroid. Is this correct?
Exposure to heavy metals comes from different sources: the environment, in
dust of the air you breathe, medications, personal care products, your
water, and even your food. There are many heavy metals that decimate cell
membrane health, but the major ones are mercury, lead, aluminum, cadmium and
arsenic.
Heavy metal toxicity can result in damaged or reduced mental and central
nervous function, lower energy levels, and damage to blood composition,
lungs, kidneys, liver, and other vital organs. Long-term exposure may result
in slowly progressing physical, muscular, and neurological degenerative
processes that mimic Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Muscular
Dystrophy and Multiple Sclerosis. Allergies are not uncommon and repeated
long-term contact with some metals or their compounds may even cause cancer.
Heavy metals become toxic when they are not metabolized by the body and
accumulate in the soft tissues.
Chelation therapy is a method of removing heavy metals from the body by
binding them with chelating agents. This therapy was developed in Germany in
the early 1930’s and was introduced into the United States in 1948.
Currently, the most widely recognized chelating compound is an artificial
amino acid known as Ethylene Diamine Tetracetic Acid (EDTA). There is three
main ways to chelate heavy metals: orally, suppository and through IV.
Oral chelation is done with certain nutritional supplements that help
cleanse the blood vessels of accumulated waste and improve blood flow.
However, physicians indicates that oral chelation takes about eight times
longer to show health benefits than IV’s and suppositories.
Suppositories are 70 percent less expensive and chelate heavy metals from
your system in the convenience of your own home and overnight. Two
suppositories are equal to one IV. IV chelation, on the other hand, is given
slowly over three or four hours, at a dosage of two to three grams per
treatment.
Some of the benefits of chelation therapy include enhanced vitality and
increased energy. It also supports cardiovascular and bone health, clears
toxic metal buildup in tissues and facilitates toxin elimination. This
assists in decreasing free radical damage while protecting cells, tissues
and organs from the metal poisoning. Chelation therapy supports healthy
brain and neurological function while helping to maintain healthy body
metabolism and has been noted to diminish the accelerated aging process.
