CHELATING HEAVY METALS

[Rinse & rePeat]

For those who can't drink coffee, turmeric may be the solution to ridding the body of excess iron!

"Turmeric is categorised into food that can decrease iron absorption by 20 per cent to 90 per cent, depending on its intake."

Turmeric And Iron Deficiency: Can too much turmeric intake lead to iron deficiency?

Due to its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, the usage of this spice gained more popularity during the COVID-19 wave to reduce the risk of infection and boost immunity.

"Candida protects the body from heavy metal toxicity. Candida surrounds metals in the body, encompassing them, in an effort to protect the body from foreign metals. If heavy metal toxicity remains present in the body the Candida will not leave. “Overgrowth of Candida is often due to heavy metal toxicity (such as mercury gradually leaching from silver fillings). Swiss research shows that Candida actually helps protect the body against heavy metal toxicity. Rather than trying to ‘kill’ the Candida, the best therapy is to clear the heavy metals and toxic dental work (all metals) so the Candida can return to normal levels in the body,” says pH Pure. This belief is not accepted by all practitioners."

The first step to ridding heavy metals in the body is to not put them in in the first place. This was posted in another thread, by fico, on cadmium in chocolate.

“Studies have shown that some compounds in turmeric bind to iron. This could lead to a decrease in the body’s ability to absorb iron from food, which could lead to iron deficiency.”

If you ingest anything processed (anything but whole foods and things you've cooked up from whole food ingredients) you are likely increasing your heavy metal intake.

I believe raw pasture raised milk should be regularly consumed as a prophylactic against free iron toxicity. It should also be included in recipes wherever possible so that raw milk can be mixed and in contact with the ingredients for as long as possible in an unheated unfrozen state so as to allow the raw milk to detox the food.

“Pfizer issued a recall on five lots of Accupril due to a nitrosamine impurity.

If exposed to high levels over a long period of time, nitrosamines can increase the risk of cancer, according to the FDA.

Accupril is used to help lower blood pressure and is indicated in the management of heart failure.“

“The FDA says that distributors and sellers of any product in the recall should stop use, distribution, and quarantine the product immediately if it is in inventory.”

“With MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) entering the market, it immediately became so much easier to deal with medical conditions requiring larger amounts of sulfur [1] as part of their treatment. Both, selenium and sulfur bind to a number of heavy, or toxic metals, with selenium being protective against cadmium, arsenic, mercury, and lead, while sulfur (being to a lesser degree protective of the same), is helpful to lower aluminum levels.”

“Mercury can enter and accumulate in the food chain. The form of mercury that accumulates in the food chain is methylmercury. Inorganic mercury does not accumulate up the food chain to any extent. When small fish eat the methylmercury in food, it goes into their tissues. When larger fish eat smaller fish or other organisms that contain methylmercury, most of the methylmercury originally present in the small fish will then be stored in the bodies of the larger fish. As a result, the larger and older fish living in contaminated waters build up the The levels of mercury in the atmosphere (i.e., the air you breathe in the general environment) are very, very low and do not pose a health risk. 8 highest amounts of methylmercury in their bodies. Saltwater fish (especially sharks and swordfish) that live a long time and can grow to a very large size tend to have the highest levels of mercury in their bodies. Plants (such as corn, wheat, and peas) have very low levels of mercury, even if grown in soils containing mercury at significantly higher than background levels. Mushrooms, however, can accumulate high levels if grown in contaminated soils.“

“You can be exposed to mercury vapors from the use of fungicides that contain mercury. Excess use of these products may result in higher-than-average exposures. You may also be exposed to mercury from swallowing or applying to your skin outdated medicinal products (laxatives, worming medications, and teething powders) that contain mercurous chloride. Exposure may also occur from the improper or excessive use of other chemicals containing mercury, such as skin-lightening creams and some topical antiseptic or disinfectant agents (mercurochrome and thimerosal).”

“Other chemicals containing mercury, such as mercurochrome and thimerosal (sold as Merthiolate and other brands), are still used as antiseptics or as preservatives in eye drops, eye ointments, nasal sprays, and vaccines.

“The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is taking action to reduce the amount of lead in apple juice and other juices. The FDA has issued draft guidance on steps that need to be made to make juice safer for people to drink.

Under the current regulations, juice can contain up to 50 parts per billion (ppb) of lead. If the draft action is finalized, it will lower the limit to 10 ppb in apple juice and 20 ppb for other juices.

The change would cause a 46% reduction in exposure to lead from apple juice in kids and a 19% reduction in exposure to lead from other juices, the FDA says. The FDA says it created the lowered draft action level for apple juice because it’s the juice children drink the most.“




“People are typically exposed to lead by breathing in lead fumes or lead dust, accidentally ingesting lead dust, or coming into contact with lead dust, which can be absorbed through your skin, the CDC says.

There are a few different ways lead can end up in juice. One is that lead is in the environment as a naturally-occurring element and it’s not possible to remove it entirely from the food supply, the FDA says.

Lead was also previously used as a pesticide, explains Scott Keatley, R.D., of Keatley Medical Nutrition Therapy. “Despite it being decades since it was used, lead does not simply disappear and standard fertilizers allow the lead to be taken into the tree more easily,” he says. “A single cup of juice contains about three apples. The more juice is consumed, the more likely it is to bring some lead into your body.”

So, There’s Lead In Your Juice—and the FDA Is Trying to Lower the Amount

How it got there in the first place is even more interesting.

“It’s no secret that sea vegetables pack tremendous nutrient power and should be a regular part of everyone’s diet, but you may not be aware of their ability to help you detox. One of the most significant health benefits of chlorella (a blue-green algae similar to spirulina) is that is a natural chelator. It can wrap itself around heavy metal toxins in the body and keep them from being reabsorbed while they are expelled. This is of particular importance for anyone who has mercury fillings in their teeth, has been vaccinated and/or eats fish regularly.“

Have to be very careful with Chlorella. Many mercury toxic people have had very bad experiences using it to detox as while it does chelate metals, many think it doesn’t bind to them strongly, and as a result can pick the metals up and move them around the body and drop them again in the process.

Also depending on where it is grown it can pickup toxins from the water it is grown in.

Thanks for the warning! Many years ago I took this recommended brand to regrow gum tissue and it served me well without issue. I would be leery to take anything less. Of course back then I didn’t know about iron and soy lecithin, but it sure was a powerhouse of other hard to find things. The high vitamin D and B12 in it is impressive for such tiny little tablets.
