Heavy metal toxicity is a real issue and I think it really needs some light shone on it.
We are exposed to heavy metals in our foods, our environment, our water supply, personal care products, cosmetics, vaccinations but probably the worst culprit is through our dentistry, specifically with silver amalgams which are made with 30-50% Mercury. These amalgams are constantly releasing Mercury vapors into our blood stream and our bodies.
Heavy metals in any form at any level is toxic to our bodies. They are just not meant to be in our bodies, or part of our physiology. Heavy metals have an affinity for the nervous system, they are known neurotoxin which means it destroys cells of the nervous system. They bioaccumulate in our tissues, therefore can accumulate over a lifetime and greatly affect the function of various systems of the body including our brains, our kidneys, our immune system, our hormonal system, our cardiovascular system.
