Symptoms of Subacute Heavy Metal Toxicity by Dr Thomas Nissen
What are the consequences of heavy metals on our organism? Heavy Metals can cause, contribute to, or make worse, nearly every disease or illness we know. If you are heavy metal toxic and don't take care, any medical treatment you may now be receiving for existing health problems may not be as successful as it could be. Thus, if you want your efforts at dealing with any existing health conditions related to chronic metal poisoning to be more successful and want to achieve an optimal state of health; you will need to make an effort to safely eliminate heavy metals from your body. Heavy metals - especially mercury - are highly toxic, killing the friendly bacteria in our guts. Friendly bacteria are responsible for a beneficial gut flora and the internal mucosa which protects the gut from toxins or allergens. Therefore, a compromised gut opens the door to all kind of toxins and allergens, which, in turn overburdens the immune-system and leads finally to all kind of allergies. Autoimmune Disease Heavy metals eventually bind to body proteins. The immune system recognizes these proteins as a foreign and attacks them, leading to so-called autoimmune disorders. Skin Problems All skin problems originate in the intestine which has been damaged by toxins (heavy metals), non-nutritious, processed and refined foods, antibiotic use and stress. High Cholesterol- Cardiovascular Disease A rise in cholesterol typically accompanies the inflammatory response and it serves to protect the nerve and brain against exposure to fat-soluble toxins and heavy metals. Studies show that when decreasing the cholesterol level with medication there is a corresponding rise in all cause mortality, which includes a higher risk in cancer, mini-strokes and suicide. Depletion of the Immune System and Cancer Heavy metals increase the production of free radicals and oxidative stress leading to tissue acidification. All Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment! Having a constant inflammatory response to heavy metals (fight or flight reaction) the cancer killing immune system becomes depleted. When this happens cancer cells proliferate. Chronic Pain Heavy metals create an over-production of free radicals (rust), leading to chronic inflammation (pain). Chronic inflammation generates a further overproduction of free radicals. In order to stop this vicious circle, heavy metals must be eliminated first. Digestive Problems Heavy metals combine with bile from the gallbladder and cause it to become more alkaline, providing a favourable environment for parasites and bacteria. The immune system is suppressed by heavy metals - thus parasites and bacteria find an opportunistic environment. The parasites plug up the hepatic or bile duct so that needed digestive enzymes are not released. Hormone Problems With a blocked gallbladder, good oils are not processed. Without enough oils, hormone production is affected. Chronic Fatigue Adrenal glands can weaken and burn out as they are trying to self regulate the compromising effects of heavy metals. This leads to fatigue, as the adrenal glands put out adrenaline, the energy hormone. Heavy metals bind to oxygen and haemoglobin in blood, lowering blood and tissue oxygen, causing lack of energy and cancer development. Cancer thrives on low-oxygen environment. Alzheimer, MS, ALS ,Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Parkinson's All heavy metals are neurotoxic, increasing the free radical production a million fold and destroying the nervous tissue. Weight gain In order to dilute toxins(heavy metals) the body retains water and fats in the adipose tissue. Thyroid problems Heavy metals replace essential minerals, also called "the fight for the site". The heavy metals grab the biological spaces which should be filled by necessary minerals instead. Low libido, PMS, Impotence, Prostate Problems Heavy metals lower (replace) zinc levels which are necessary for the proper levels of progesterone and testosterone. Depression Diabetes Heavy metals - in particular mercury - sets the perfect terrain for the overgrowth of yeast and fungus (candida). Metabolic waste released from fungus, called mycotoxins, inhibits the absorption of insulin, thus creating diabetes. By decreasing the sugar intake, the yeast and fungus proliferation will decrease; but it will not solve the real cause, which are heavy metals. Other diseases related to heavy metal toxicity include, Crohn's Disease, Kidney Disease, Liver Disorder, Lupus, Reproductive Diso

Allergies And/Or Overburdened Immune System
Since essential copper and iodine ions are not being absorbed the thyroid function becomes compromised.
