Living organisms require varying amounts of "heavy metals" like iron, cobalt, copper, manganese, molybdenum and zinc. However, excessive levels can be damaging. Other heavy metals such as mercury, plutonium, aluminium, uranium, nickel, arsenic and lead are toxic metals that have no known beneficial effect on human beings, and their accumulation over time in the body can cause serious illnesses.
Physical symptoms of heavy metal toxicity include:
Chronic pain in the muscles, tendons or soft tissues of the body.
Brain fog.
Mood swings, depression and/or anxiety.
Chronic malaise and infections.
Gastrointestinal complaints.
Food allergies.
Migraines, dizziness and/or headaches.
Visual disturbances.
Heavy metal toxicity can be mistaken for or possibly cause other chronic conditions such as autism, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, fibromyalgia, depression, Multiple Sclerosis, and a lot of other serious disorders. Numerous research studies show that even small amounts of mercury can damage the brain, heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, thyroid gland, pituitary gland, adrenal gland and suppress the body's immune system.
Metal contaminants are often found in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat and the things we use in daily life like cosmetics, dental fillings and even Baby formula! These unwanted impurities degrade the food stuffs by catalyzing the oxidation of the fats in the food. A class of food additives known as sequestrants (to sequester means "to withdraw from use") can be added to remove the problems caused by these impurities. The additives react with trace metals in foods, forming tightly bound complexes, thereby preventing the decompostion of the food.
The sodium and calcium salts of EDTA (ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid) are common sequestrants in many kinds of foods and beverages. The EDTA molecule can bind to metal ions by forming six bonds to it - two from nitrogen atoms in amino groups and four from oxygen atoms in carboxyl groups.
Chelation therapy is widely recognized as an effective heavy metal detoxification for people with lead poisoning, mercury poisoning, and other heavy metal toxicities. EDTA is the most commonly used chelator for heavy metal detox. It attaches itself to heavy metals and carries the metals from the body. EDTA can also slow free-radical activity produced by heavy metals in the body.
Health professionals have used EDTA for over 50 years to support the detoxification of metals like mercury, lead, aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, uranium and nickel. EDTA is completely safe and FDA-approved. As orally delivered EDTA is only 5% absorbed due to the effects of the digestive acids, enzymes and foodstuffs on it, it is given as an intravenous drip which is cumbersome and time-consuming. Suppository EDTA has no such limitation. EDTA based suppositories detox users of heavy metals, pesticides and pathogens and an improvement in blood circulation can be seen within 2 to 3 weeks. Reports of increased stamina and energy are also common. Warmer hands and feet and stronger sexual function in both men and women has also been reported. After a longer usage of 6 months or more, people with blocked arteries, heart disease, prostate problems and chronic fatigue show greatly improved health and wellbeing. EDTA based suppositories are the easiest to administer, safest and most effective way of getting rid of harmful toxins from our bodies to lead a happy, healthy life in this toxic world!
