- Aluminum.
- Tin.
- Arsenic.
- Cadmium.
- Chromium.

Where are heavy metals stored?
An excess of metals can lead to storage in my body, mainly:
- Liver.
- Bones.
- Brain.
- Kidneys.
- Blood.
- Skin.
Today, 99.9% of human beings are intoxicated by heavy metals.
Causes
- Food.
- Air and environmental pollution.
- Building materials.
- Dental amalgams.
- Pesticides, herbicides and fungicides.
- Tobacco smoke.
- Occupational exposure.
- Kitchen utensils.
- Industrial contamination.
- Toxic ingredients in cosmetics.
- Pharmaceutical products.
- Heredity.
Health consequences
A heavy metal can cause :
- Diseases.
- Growth disorders.
- Metabolic disorders.
- Immunodeficiency.
- Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
- Sterility.
- Autism.
- Organ damage.
- Endocrine disorders.
- Cognitive disorders.
- Malformations.
Here are the main diseases partly caused by heavy metals:
- Lead poisoning.
- Minamata disease.
- Ulcerative colitis.
- Nephropathy.
- Cancer.
- Parkinson’s disease.
- Liver fibrosis.
- Anemia.
Which heavy metals are healthy?
Some trace elements, essential to health in small doses, become toxic in excess:
- Copper.
- Selenium.
- Zinc.
That is why it is important to communicate with my body to know when to supplement.
Solutions
Fortunately, I can eliminate the metals that are poisoning my body.
Removing sources of contamination
I can avoid or replace :
- Dental amalgams made of lead or mercury.
- Non-organic food.
- Lawns treated with pesticides.
- Smoke.
- Copper pipes.
- Pesticides, herbicides and fungicides.
- Repeated direct contact with copper, lead and aluminum.
- Unfiltered tap water.
- Aluminum foil and trays.
Detox
Ideally, my body should be able to decontaminate itself.
For this reason, other cleansing steps are recommended as part of the heavy metals detox:
- Liver detox (10 days).
- Kidney detox (10 days).
- Blood detox (10 days).
Intuitive eating
By using my felt sense, I can tell whether a food is right for me or not.
Here are the main foods that can detoxify from heavy metals:
- Chlorella.
- Barley grass juice combined with spirulina.
- Dulse.
- Celery juice.
- Coriander.
- Blueberries.
- Lemon juice.
- Turmeric.
- Garlic.
Chelation therapy
Chelation therapy involves the administration of chelating agents, particularly intravenously.
Chelators are molecules with the ability to bind to unwanted metals. This makes it easier for the body to eliminate them.
There are, however, certain contraindications.
Summary
How to start a heavy metals detox?
By avoiding and eliminating them.
Chlorella is probably the simplest and most effective solution: one teaspoon a week.
