We all want to be healthy and even though many are following healthy dietary guidelines, they can still have serious health problems. Why is this so? One reason may be toxic heavy metals such as mercury, aluminium, cadmium, arsenic, lead, tin and other metal poisons that unfortunately are present in our environment and invade our body's everyday.

The fact is that heavy metal toxicity can cause or contribute to a long list of diseases including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, other brain and neurological disorders, along with cancers. Although the medical community recognises acute heavy metal toxicity there are far more people suffering from chronic exposure which we face everyday. This has become one of the most pressing health hazards of today.

Symptoms of toxic build-up can include Fatigue, digestive distress, aching joints, depression, impaired blood sugar regulation, miscarriage, infertility, premature births, pre-eclampsia, hypertension, cancer etc. In fact Health authorities estimate that at least 90% of all chronic diseases can be attributed to environmental pollution in one way or another.

Are you aware of the amount of heavy metals you are exposed to on a daily basis? We are exposed through the air we breathe, the food we eat, the utensils and products we use. From innocent looking cookware to children's toys. Vaccinations, dental work, insecticides, cleaning products, jewelery, industrial plants, burning jet fuel, the list goes on. Want more proof, a 2004 study by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) found that blood samples from newborns contained an average of 287 toxins, including mercury, fire retardants, pesticides and Teflon chemicals.

So how do we avoid heavy metal exposure and clear them out of our bodies? First you need to identify sources of metal exposure and limit your exposure. For example, avoid person care products and cosmetics with aluminium, use glass, titanium and lead-free pots and enamels- aluminium and Teflon are well known health dangers, filter your water, don't smoke or expose yourself to second hand smoke, remove mercury fillings etc.

Second you need to remove the toxic burden in your body and take the heavy metals out of your body that don't belong there. A cleaner healthier body heals and repairs itself. The best source I have found to do this is purified activated liquid zeolite.

The zeolite must be purified and activated which means the zeolite mineral cage has been cleaned out and is activated to have a strong negative charge to attract the positive charged heavy metals in your body. They are then trapped in the cage and safely and effectively excreted them from your body in your urine. The small molecular size of the zeolite only attracts particles such as heavy metals and toxins so vital minerals and vitamins are not removed which has been a problem with other chelating methods.

30 years has gone into this research and development of this dietary supplement to provide a 100% safe and non-toxic solution. This technology has only been developed in the last 3 years and is spreading like wild fire because it is scientifically based and proven to work. This is truly a huge advancement and breakthrough in removing the heavy metal burden on our body.

Now there are a number of other therapies you may have heard about including Chelation, Colon Cleanse, and nutrition. Unfortunately these come with limitations and some serious side effects. With Chelation the challenge is that these treatments are indiscriminate and attract vital minerals as well as heavy metals, requiring medical supervision and vitamin injections to avoid serious side effects. The other challenge is that the toxins are attached to the outside of the chelating agent, meaning they can do damage to the kidney or liver during elimination. This is something you really don't want to do unless it is absolutely necessary.

A good colon cleanse will get toxins out of the body. However if toxins are not removed from the body, they are reabsorbed through the gut wall causing secondary toxification. The challenge with Colon cleanse is that it only takes waste from the gut.

Another popular method of detoxification is to flood the body with high-level nutrients, such as antioxidants. We flood the body with high potency nutrition and it activates the immune system to discard unwanted toxins. However there is little hope for antioxidants and mineral supplements to do their job properly, if the body is burdened with heavy metals in the first place.

It is VERY IMPORTANT to source the high quality activated liquid zeolite that has been properly cleaned out and is pure and safe for use. If you are aware of a toxic build up in your body and are looking to remove heavy metals from your body do your research. However we have heard of nothing as effective as the activated liquid Zeolite in removing heavy metals from your body safely and effectively.
