Yes I did it! I finished my 60-days detox to excrete toxic heavy metals which reside in my liver.
I have done this detox many times the last 3,5 years and my goals is to excrete all the toxic metals in my body. Not only a personal plan, but itβs also a major part of the most treatments of my clients.
But why is this so important?
Toxic heavy metals (alone or in combination with a pathogen) are the cause of many chronical diseases. Science already discovered shocking evidence that itβs linked to diseases as MS, ALS, Alzheimer, Parkinson, Cancer and ADHD. Knowledge about heavy metals is important to be able to heal from chronic sickness and to avoid sickness. Below I share citations from scientific researches.
Dysfunction BBB
Mercury was found to penetrate and damage the blood-brain barrier very rapidly, leading to a dysfunction of the blood-brain barrier system (Niigata University Japan, 2017).
Neurological diseases
Iron, Manganese and Mercury can be readily absorbed from different sources, and reach the CNS thus affecting neurons and glial cells. (Federal University Of Santa Catarina, 2012)
Multiple Sclerose (MS)
Serum levels of zinc, cadmium, and copper were significantly higher in MS patients than in the controls (Kerman University of Medical Sciences, 2013).
Laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP MS) imaging of pons paraffin sections from all MS patients and 12 controls showed that combinations of iron, silver, lead, aluminium, mercury, nickel, and bismuth were present more often in the locus ceruleus of MS patients and were located predominantly in white matter tracts. Based on these results, we propose that metal toxicants in locus ceruleus neurons weaken the blood-brain barrier, enabling multiple interacting toxicants to pass through blood vessels and enter astrocytes and oligodendroglia, leading to demyelination (The University of Sydney, 2023).
LA-ICP MS is the most advanced technique for metal species quantification given its sensitivity (UPPA, 2021). Locus ceruleus is the bottom part of the brain connected to the spinal cord and white matter tracts connect different brain regions together to form functional networks
Parkinsonβs Disease (PD)
Metals have a fundamental role in Parkinsonβs Disease etiology and pathogenesis. In addition to metals, numerous studies have revealed the deregulation of specific miRNAs due to pesticides exposure, and their involvement in PD pathogenesis (Lanzhou University China, 2021).
The investigators behind this study sought to assess the association between bone lead and PD
The findings, using an objective biological marker of cumulative lead exposure among typical Parkinsonβs Disease patients seen in our movement disorders clinics, strengthen the evidence that cumulative exposure to lead increases the risk of PD (Harvard Medical School, 2010).
Alzheimer Disease
Neurotoxic metals such as lead, mercury, aluminium, cadmium and arsenic, as well as some pesticides and metal-based nanoparticles have been involved in Alzheimer Disease due to their ability to increase beta-amyloid (AΞ²) peptide and the phosphorylation of Tau protein (P-Tau), causing senile/amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) characteristic of Alzheimer Disease (CINVESTAV-IPN Mexico City, 2015).
Amyotrofe laterale sclerose (ALS)
This study aims to determine whether metal uptake is dysregulated during childhood in individuals eventually diagnosed with ALS. The study reveals direct evidence that altered metal uptake during specific early life time windows is associated with adult-onset ALS (University of Michigan, 2020).
Another study by Boston University School of Medicine provide novel evidence of a direct mechanistic link between heavy metals, which are a commonly cited environmental risk of ALS, and molecular changes in TDP-43, the primary pathological protein accumulating in ALS (Boston University School of Medicine, 2018).
The metal concentrations in blood from ALS patients (obtained before disease onset) and controls indicate that cadmium and lead may be associated with an increased risk of ALS and zinc with a decreased risk (Utrecht University, 2020).
Cancer
Some toxic metals including chromium, cadmium, and arsenic cause genomic instability. Defects in DNA repair following the induction of oxidative stress and DNA damage by the three metals have been considered as the cause of their carcinogenicity (Birjand University of Medical Sciences, 2021).
The International Agency for Research on Cancer and the U.S. National Toxicology Program have concluded that there is adequate evidence that cadmium is a human carcinogen. This designation as a human carcinogen is based primarily on repeated findings of an association between occupational cadmium exposure and lung cancer, as well as on very strong rodent data showing the pulmonary system as a target site (Jackson State University, 2014).
Most single and groups of airborne metals, except vanadium, were associated with risk of cancer (UniversitΓ© Paris CitΓ©, 2023).
Breast cancer
Higher levels of some airborne metals, specifically mercury, cadmium, and lead, were associated with a higher risk of postmenopausal breast cancer (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2020).
These studies advocate further investigation is needed to understand the effect of toxic heavy metals on human body. In my opinion this will take decades. Unfortunately people who suffer from illness canβt wait. I was lucky that I found the information from Medical Medium on time, which helped me detoxing my daughterβs body from toxic metals so she could heal from her neurological disorder. Now I use this important knowledge and experience in my practice and see how people heal from chronic illness.
