Ever come across the expression "as mad as a hatter?" Heavy metal toxicity was so destructive in the 17th century that an expression was curved from the impact it had on individuals who were exposed to the poisonous process that was used to make hats. It was not until the 19th century that it was discovered that mercury poisoning was causing depression which resulted in insanity among hatters.

If you suffer from degenerative health problems but you do not seem to get a long-lasting solution to those persistent symptoms even after maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, meditation, and everything else you need to be doing to stay healthy, you may be suffering from heavy metal poisoning.

Our modern world is filled with toxins as a result of air pollution, environmental pollution, natural activities such as volcanic eruptions, and industrial chemicals released into our environment. One of the greatest threats to human health is exposure to heavy metal poisoning.

Heavy metal poisoning refers to the accumulation of metallic elements with a density of 5 g cm-3 and above. There are thirty-eight (38) heavy metals including vanadium, lead, chromium, arsenic, zinc, cadmium, copper, nickel, and molybdenum. However, only four (4) of these metals, Lead, Arsenic, Mercury, and Cadmium are the main threats to human health.

Unfortunately, these toxic metals often find their way into our bodies through breathing, ingestion, or absorption through our skin. Accumulation of these heavy metals in the human body can be harmful as these metals bind to human tissues, creating destructive free radicals that cause damage to the endocrine system, damage the immunity system and disrupt the absorption of vital minerals.

Heavy metal poisoning, though quite common, often goes undetected as it is an elusive adversary that stays hidden within the human body till it has reached dangerous levels of bio-accumulation unless it is actively sorted out.

The good news is that this guide will not only show you natural ways to detoxify the heavy metals accumulated in your body but will also help you prevent or minimize exposure.
