The Parasite/Heavy Metal Connection

---

The truth is that we are exposed to heavy metals through more than just our dental work. Our food, water, air, and daily household goods contribute to a slow and steady heavy metal build up in our body.

The problem with this abnormal over-exposure to heavy metals is that the body is not designed to break down and eliminate excess heavy metals on its own. Instead, the body stores these toxins and, over time, this buildup contributes to serious health concerns.  

As parasites feed off of corruption, they love disturbed flesh and are therefore attracted to the places in the body where heavy metals reside.

Heavy Metal Precursors & Symptoms

Metallic taste in the mouth
Immune suppression

Living in a home built prior to 1978 that has lead-based paint
Smoking and/or inhaling second-hand smoke
Eating foods (such as contaminated fish) that contain high levels of heavy metals
Living near a landfill
Working in an environment where exposure to metals is prevalent (such as working in a factory or at a dentist’s office where amalgam is used to fill cavities)

Methods Used to Remove Parasites/Heavy Metals
Mushroom Extracts.  In addition to a good parasite and heavy metal cleanse, mushroom extracts may need to be used during a cleanse to keep the immune system active.

Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth is a fossilized deposit of microscopic shells created by one celled plants called Diatoms. These plants inhabit all the waters of the earth, and serve as the basic food for aquatic life, just as grass is the basic food for land animals.

It’s a single cell fossil that acts as a natural and organic insecticide, killing bugs by breaking down their exoskeletons, which causes them to dehydrate. It’s a little bit like glass to a parasite, but is like harmless powder to us. It is largely made of silica (good for hair and nails) with other trace minerals.  Diatomaceous Earth is a natural chelator (a compound used to attach and remove heavy metals, parasites, etc.).

No matter what methods you choose, be patient.  When thinking about ridding your body of heavy metals, it has been said that it could take one to two years, with a maintenance dose that lasts a lifetime. 

How Can I Know for Certain If I Have Parasites and/or Heavy Metals?
Hair analyses require you to snip your hair, weigh the hair, seal the sample in an envelope, and send to a lab where you may wait days for the results.  Very cumbersome and expensive!

Nature's Alternatives' Electro-Dermal assessments are less expensive, accurate, and you receive the results within minutes.  We also sell food grade diatomaceous earth.  Contact us today to schedule your assessment.
