Heavy metal poisoning is more common than you think. It has a range of symptoms from headache to irritability to muscle spasm so it could be mistaken for any number of diseases. However because the symptoms are so nondescript it can often go unseen and make sufferers ill for years for no apparent reason.
Heavy metal poisoning can occur from simple things such as your tap water, which can carry aluminium. Also, in the past aluminium has been used as a food additive. It has been used in cans and deodorant as well. Lead and copper pipes, mercury fillings in your teeth and medical vaccines also expose you to heavy metals and other toxins. Right now, they may be sitting in your body making you toxic.
Ways to work out if you are suffering from heavy metal poisoning is to tap in to how you are feeling. Usually, people can sense something is not right. Often the doctor, though, can find nothing wrong; this does not help you as you still feel pretty ill.
If you are feeling itching or sweaty, or have blotches or pimples, a burning sensation or feel cold or tingly, then it might be because you are toxic. You may have blurred vision and be sensitive to light (but these are also symptoms of migraine so it becomes confusing when seeking a diagnosis). Other symptoms can be chest pain, irregular heartbeats, sinus congestion, loss of balance, poor bladder control or a cough. Do you see how diverse these symptoms are? That is precisely why heavy metal poisoning is so hard to pin down.
Such metals as aluminium, mercury (in seafood), tin, copper, silver, cadmium (often in seafood), arsenic (as a food contaminant), lead and nickel can enter our bodies and bloodstream in many ways. This can happen through the air, carbonated drinks, fillings in our teeth, food additives or even through some of the toxins in the buildings where we live and work. Add to this the radiation from our phones, computers, television, microwave, air conditioning etc and there is one huge toxic cocktail putting a strain on our whole system. It affects us physically, emotionally, mentally and energetically. Anyone who doubts this simply needs to search the internet to find out what Wi-Fi is doing to our atmosphere.

So it could be said that heavy metal poisoning affects your cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, nervous system, respiratory system – in fact, all areas of your body. Whoever would have thought that it can add to gum inflammation, kidney damage, nervousness, Alzheimer’s disease, anaemia, stroke, anorexia or even gastric symptoms and vomiting?
Other symptoms of heavy metal poisoning can be insomnia, confusion, suicidal thoughts, tinnitus, joint pain and even blood pressure issues.
One of the easiest ways to get rid of these substances from the body is to do a detox. There are a number of products out there that you can use under the supervision of your natural therapist and/or doctor. It will take anything from a month to several months or so, as it needs to be done slowly, but once you start you will begin to reap the rewards.
When you do the heavy metal poisoning detox, however, you must remember to drink at least two litres of water a day and to eat foods that you are not over-sensitive to, so that inflammation to your body is at its lowest. Finding out the foods that cause you inflammation is easy with Vega testing or a similar sensitivity test. This is different to the allergy blood test your doctor would give you. By your second visit to your practitioner, you should have already eliminated some of these foods from your diet and be taking some supplements to remove any after-effects from your body.
Heavy metal poisoning will make you very ill if you do not attend to it. Take the right supplements, slowly eliminate foods that cause your system to be acidic, use a detox for the heavy metals and, very quickly, you will find the symptoms start to disappear.
