For instance, pesticides and herbicides (which are hard to completely avoid even on a strict organic diet), are a common source of heavy metals. As a result, most of us are carrying around heavy metals that have been with us for almost our whole lives and which have burrowed deep inside our tissues.
Unfortunately, it is these “old” metals, the ones that have been lurking in our system for prolonged periods of time, that pose the greatest threat. For example, over time toxic heavy metals can oxidize, causing damage to surrounding tissue and promoting inflammation. They literally poison our bodies, and can inflict damage on virtually every system and organ, including our brain, liver, digestive system, and other parts of our nervous system. Toxic heavy metals put an immense burden on our immune system, leaving us vulnerable to a variety of illnesses.
Not only are heavy metals damaging in their own right, they are also a form of neurotoxin (a poison that disrupts nerve function and confuses your immune system). Heavy metal neurotoxins can inflame and irritate our central nervous system (especially our brain), causing multiple symptoms such as memory loss, brain fog, fatigue, and depression. Toxic heavy metals can also promote inflammation in the digestive tract, releasing poisons into our gut as well. As if this isn’t bad enough, heavy metals also serve as a source of food for viruses, bacteria, parasites, and other pathogens in our body. For example, heavy metals can serve as a feeding ground for Streptococcus A or B and its many other groups (both those that have been discovered by medical research and science and those that are still undiscovered), E. coli, C. difficile, H. pylori, and yeast cells. This can create an overgrowth of multiple bacteria in our gut, resulting in a condition known as SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), which is characterized by bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation (or both), and can lead to nutrient deficiencies. Additionally, when viruses such as Epstein-Barr and shingles feed off toxic heavy metals, this can produce symptoms such as tingling, numbness, fatigue, anxiety, heart palpitations, ringing in the ears, dizziness and vertigo, as well as neck pain, knee pain, foot pain, pain in the back of the head, and a variety of other aches and pains that are often attributed to other causes.
When pathogens such as Epstein-Barr, shingles, and many others feed on heavy metals, they transform the metals into an especially aggressive form of neurotoxin. This secondary neurotoxin is the by-product and waste of these pathogens, and has the ability to travel throughout the body and wreak even greater havoc on the central nervous system. This phenomenon can throw medical communities off track, leading to incorrect diagnoses such as Lyme disease, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and many other autoimmune disorders, because blood tests start to lose their accuracy when the bloodstream becomes full of neurotoxic by-product and pathogen waste. These neurotoxins can even cross the blood-brain barrier, where they short circuit our neurotransmitters (the chemicals our brain cells use to communicate with each other). In turn, this can trigger depression and other mood disorders, memory loss, and a variety of other cognitive impairments.
It is therefore no surprise that heavy metals play a prominent role in our current epidemics of “mystery illnesses” and degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and dementia. Despite all of this, heavy metal toxicity remains a relatively unexplored (and untreated) phenomenon—for everything we know about the dangers of heavy metals, there is a great deal more that has yet to be discovered. Heavy metals just may be the premier “hidden antagonizer” and mystery illness trigger in so many of us, contributing to all of the aforementioned symptoms—and more.
An important aspect of heavy metal toxicity is the fact that each of us has a unique signature blend, our own personal combination of heavy metals that creates an alloy. In the industrial sense, metals are blended to make them stronger and to give them broader applications. For example, a bicycle has various parts that are made from different alloys/blends of metal, to give it unique flexibility and strength; the same goes for rims on a car or even a pan for cooking. While this might be good news for the lifespan of your bicycle, it does nothing to enhance human life. For instance, one person’s signature blend of heavy metals might consist of high levels of mercury and lead, while the next person has large amounts of aluminum and nickel in her signature blend. Or perhaps two people both have extensive mercury and aluminum deposits, but have very different amounts of the two metals. Another variable contributing to a person’s individual alloy is the locations of the heavy metals in the body. For example, one person may have mercury deposits in her or his brain and central nervous system, while in the next person the metals have infiltrated her or his liver and intestines.
Regardless, these highly individual alloys are part of why we see so much depression, anxiety, and other neurological symptoms that people are faced with every day. It is also one of the reasons why no two people with the same diagnosis have precisely the same symptoms. No one person diagnosed with depression, for example, has the exact same case of depression as the next person. The fact that everyone has a unique heavy metal signature blend is also part of why various treatments and methods can work for one person, but not for the next. Furthermore, there tends to be an interaction effect between one’s emotional history and her or his signature heavy metal blend. For example, if a person has undergone emotional trauma at some point and has high levels of heavy metal toxicity, she or he will tend to have a more difficult time processing the trauma she or he has experienced. Medical research and science is decades away from uncovering the signature heavy metals and alloys that create so many of our symptoms.
As indicated, heavy metals have the capacity to infiltrate the brain. While heavy metal deposits are damaging regardless of where they are in the body, the brain is especially vulnerable. Electrical nerve impulses are constantly passing through the neurons (nerve cells) in our brains; this is how our brain cells communicate with each other, and govern the bodily processes controlled by the brain. In healthy brains, this system runs smoothly and efficiently. If, however, the neurons are surrounded by brain tissue saturated with mercury or other heavy metals, this results in an electrical short circuiting. The metals draw on the electrical impulses, like draining a battery, much like when you leave your car’s headlights on all night. When the electrical activity of our brain is “drained” by heavy metals in this manner, it disrupts the continuity of our nerve impulses. If, for example, a person has a lot of mercury in the brain, the spike of electricity running through a neuron doesn’t reach its intended destination (the adjacent neuron)—it slams into a mercury deposit instead! This is when we start to see things like depression and cognitive impairment, including confusion, overstimulation, disorientation, etc. Another issue is the interaction between the minerals involved in the nerve impulses, such as sodium, potassium, and chloride, and the heavy metals. These minerals have the ability to oxidize heavy metals, literally causing them to corrode (this is akin to the heavy metals in your brain getting rusty!). This can spread to other areas of the brain, allowing more electrical impulses to come in contact with the heavy metal oxidation, leading to even more short-circuiting, and perpetuating a vicious cycle that contributes to anxiety, depression, memory loss, emotional upheaval (e.g., flying off the handle), migraines, mood swings (i.e., extreme highs and lows), being emotionally hypersensitive, having multiple chemical sensitivities, and so on. Additionally, our neurotransmitters (the chemical substances released by nerve cells) take a huge hit, depleting our supply of important neurochemicals such as serotonin or dopamine (contributing, again, to things like anxiety and depression).
The good news is that you can get rid of the heavy metals that you may have already accumulated (both generational and recent), and there are steps you can take to minimize your future exposure. It's vital to know exactly which foods are effective at removing heavy metals. Many foods, supplements, and products marketed today as being heavy metal detoxifiers are ineffective, or worse, some are even harmful.
For the best way to get rid of heavy metals from the brain and body, look no further than the Medical Medium Heavy Metal Detox and cleanses. These protocols are the most effective methods on the planet for removing heavy metals and repairing the damage they’ve left behind.
There are countless stories worldwide of people getting results from the original Medical Medium Heavy Metal Detox and the original Heavy Metal Detox Cleanse.
The Medical Medium Heavy Metal Detox is a combination of five very specific ingredients that work together as a team. It’s important to consume the right amount of each of these ingredients within the same 24-hour period to remove metals.
1. Wild blueberries (fresh or available frozen or as pure wild blueberry powder or juice)
2. Spirulina
3. Barley grass juice powder
4. Fresh cilantro
5. Atlantic dulse
Together, these medicinals extract both deep-rooted and free-floating metals and carry them all the way out of your body, rather than dropping them along the way or not working at all. This makes the Medical Medium Heavy Metal Detox totally unique—it’s responsible. It doesn’t simply pick up metals and then let them go again, causing additional stress and harm on someone’s nervous system or digestive system. This is one reason it doesn’t cause side effects.
While getting rid of toxic heavy metals is your number one goal with this Heavy Metal Detox, it will also help purge solvents, pesticides, radiation, and other brain betrayers. Any makeshift or trendy way of trying to remove metals out of the body really falls short. Read more in Brain Saver Protocols, Cleanses & Recipes. The way these five ingredients work together to nourish and help heal brain tissue is truly remarkable. You can read all about how they work inside the body and brain and how long it takes to remove them in Brain Saver.
If you don’t have all five ingredients, don’t let that hold you back from doing the Medical Medium Heavy Metal Detox. It is best when possible to include at least three of the five ingredients daily, as this will still help heavy metals leave your body. You can continue to strive to include all five of the ingredients daily when possible. Unlike chlorella and other sources, these ingredients hold the power to capture metals properly. They have individual qualities and abilities to remove metals, but they still work best together.
Wild blueberries ignite a purging effect in the brain. They contain dozens of unique and many undiscovered antioxidant phytochemical compounds. These antioxidant compounds break up debris pockets that have formed as a byproduct of heavy metals interacting and aging in the brain—it’s like the dentist breaking up plaque on your teeth. Wild blueberries also go after the metals themselves. We have to remember that heavy metals sitting in the brain take up space. Even if they’re not oxidizing yet, even if they’re on a nano or smaller scale, they have a physical presence in a place that’s not supposed to have any toxic physical substances in it. Sometimes that can be a larger physical presence. For example, mercury tends to find more mercury, so if you were exposed to mercury early on, perhaps as a baby, additional mercury that you were exposed to throughout life, perhaps even on a monthly basis, could have rolled into that early mercury, creating bigger deposits.
Sometimes metals’ physical presence in the brain is compact, as in the case of the tiniest specks and micro-pockets of metals. No matter their size, heavy metal deposits create divots and pits in the brain. Once those heavy metals are purged, brain tissue needs to be repaired. Not only do wild blueberries’ antioxidant phytochemical compounds extract the metals; they excel at healing the damage the metals have left behind by restoring the brain cells that are lining the walls of a divot or pit so that new brain cell growth is stimulated. With heavy metals gone, your brain can create new cells in the space, although they need wild blueberries’ help to do it well, clearing the area of contamination so that healthy growth can occur. When the damage is on a small scale, that healing can happen faster.
If it’s an older deposit of metals, where oxidative waste has accumulated too, it takes long-term commitment to the Heavy Metal Detox to decontaminate the area. Brain cells die off because of heavy metals and their run- off, and not until it’s all cleaned up will the body recognize that new growth can occur safely so the area can start to come back to life. While this extraction and remediation process is still happening, some symptoms can stick around for a while because even after heavy metals are removed, there is still brain tissue repair. Wild blueberries’ antioxidant phytochemical compounds have the ability to increase healthy brain cell growth on a rapid scale to help spur healing—these antioxidants purify the brain tissue enough to freely repair. Once wild blueberries have expelled and carried out heavy metals and their debris into the bloodstream, other chemical compounds from spirulina, barley grass juice powder, and cilantro can help navigate this debris safely out of the body. Thanks to the wild blueberries, the heavy metals won’t re-disperse and cause trouble in the brain. The key five ingredients’ chemical compounds are all working together to carry toxic heavy metals out of the body safely.
Some of cilantro’s responsibility is to assist in removing metals from the brain, while another responsibility for cilantro is to remove heavy metals from the liver, other organs, and the intestinal tract—catching toxic heavy metals that are oxidizing and corroding early on, before the metals’ oxidative byproduct and waste find their way to the brain. Cilantro’s chemical compounds aren’t going to attach themselves to heavy metals still being held by wild blueberries’ compounds, only to rogue metals. It’s a long journey from where metals are nested in the brain to the point of being excreted out of the body because there are many obstacles along the route. High blood fat, acids, blood gases, pharmaceuticals, chemical toxins, chronic dehydration, and adrenaline are some of the obstacles. The metals themselves are highly toxic. We can’t rely solely on wild blueberries and cilantro when we’re trying to uproot and remove alloys from the brain and body. Bringing in barley grass juice powder at the same time is imperative.
Barley grass juice powder works similarly to cilantro, although it travels farther and wider, even to the outer reaches of the skin, and also possesses a strong absorption mechanism for oxidized, destabilized metals. This nutritive grass has the ability to draw heavy metals out of your spleen, intestinal tract, pancreas, thyroid, and reproductive system.
Spirulina has similar abilities to barley grass juice powder, more so for the brain and liver. Its profound ability to round up heavy metals in the brain, liver, and intestinal tract is one of its great virtues. The pigment in spirulina, which gives it its deep blue-green color, reaches the meta- physical part of the brain at the same time as the physical part, helping restore brain tissue that connects between the physical and metaphysical. Spirulina is so versatile that it can clean up metals that the other Heavy Metal Detox ingredients have unearthed from the brain, and spirulina can clean up metals from the liver and intestinal tract that would otherwise travel up to the brain.
Having cilantro, barley grass juice powder, and spirulina in your system at once provides exactly the formula you need to go along with wild blueberries, because everyone has a different toxic load, and that affects how the different medicinals perform.
Atlantic dulse, a type of sea vegetable, acts as a safety net as metals expel out of the liver, gallbladder, and bile duct into the intestinal tract. Dulse also aids the kidneys by helping safely absorb metals leaving the body that could otherwise get trapped in the kidneys. Dulse is insurance to assist in escorting out of the body any metals that are hosted by (meaning captured by and attached to) other key ingredients, or metals that are on their own.
For example, you could have defrosted wild blueberries in a fruit bowl for breakfast, raw cilantro and Atlantic dulse in a salad at lunch or dinner, and then you could mix or blend the spirulina and barley grass juice powder into a glass of water or coconut water as a refreshing beverage anytime of day.
