Heavy Metal Detox: Symptoms, Risks & Natural Removal

Heavy metals, such as mercury, aluminum and lead, exist in the environment and often end up entering the human body. Mercury seeps into the bloodstream from amalgam fillings. Other heavy metals enter the body via food products and through pollution in the air. A heavy metal build-up can result in symptoms such as headaches, fatigue and pain. Excess amounts of heavy metals are linked to diseases such as Alzheimer's. After a detox, however, heavy metal accumulation decreases and symptoms fade away.

How to Detoxify Yourself from Heavy Metals

• 1

  Discuss your detoxification plan with your physician. He can help you to detoxify while ensuring that you stay healthy and do not exacerbate other medical conditions.

• 2

  Perform a colon cleanse. Purchase a colon cleanse system from a pharmacy or natural foods store and follow the instructions provided.

• 3

  Take a chlorella supplement. Chlorella is a type of algae that helps bind heavy metals in the body so that they will be excreted. Find chlorella at a natural foods store.

• 4

  Increase your intake of garlic and cilantro. Eat several crushed cloves of garlic daily and include raw cilantro in your daily diet. Garlic and cilantro help to draw heavy metals from blood and tissue.

• 5

  Start a MSM (methyl sulfonyl methane) supplement. MSM makes cell walls flexible so that heavy metals can pass through the walls and be excreted.
