10 Heavy Metal Detox Strategies

Heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium, arsenic, chromium, thallium, aluminum and lead can cause acute or chronic toxicity. What you may not know is that you can contract heavy metals easily in your day-to-day life through toys, paint, antiperspirants and common household items. You can also be exposed to heavy metals through birth and dental work.

If you have low energy, an imbalanced immune system, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), fibromyalgia, neurodegenerative disease, Alzheimer’s, dementia or Parkinson’s, these conditions may be an indication that you have heavy metal toxicity in your body.

In this video, Jordan Rubin shares 10 heavy metal detox strategies to rid your body of these harmful toxins. We want to arm the liver, kidneys, skin, lymphatic and respiratory systems to allow your body to naturally eliminate these heavy metals.

Hey Dr Rubin, YOU were part of what saved my life 15 years ago.  I was diagnosed with stage 4 malignant melanoma while pregnant and told my only option was abortion and radical chemo.  I refused both.  I read The Maker's Diet, along with others, and wanted to say thank you for your part!   I have been cancer free since, and am now primarily vegan.   My 14 year old also thanks you!  <3!   Keep up the great work!

Thimerasol is still used in vaccines, checked labels today. I got vaccine 11 years ago that had mercury, formaldehyde and aluminum in it. They still use this vaccine.

Please remember that when you're doing a detox you're also pulling out other minerals like magnesium and potassium and can cause short spikes of blood pressure that feel like panic attacks but aren't.
Most people feel this and go straight to their doctor and are given blood pressure meds which are not necessary. Just slow your detox a little take magnesium potassium and get lots of sunshine.

Use activated charcoal intelligently. It also strips nutrients, so it's best to use it during a fast and then eating well when not taking it. Most ppl suffer from malnutrition when they take it everyday.

My mother used to tell me when the body makes you nauseous let it happen because it is getting rid of something bad that could make you sick. Now, I know why I have never been sick. She said the same thing about sneezing too. Never suppress a sneeze.

IN THIS DAY AND TIME, THIS INFORMATION IS GOLD.

We are bombarded by heavy metals. Please take this info serious

[erikkristjansen]

Thank you Jordan, love the CC text, very easy to follow, I have cancer, bowel, spot on the liver periphoral neuropathy, numbness in the feet . I noticed you did not mention foot detox bath, or some kind of Ionic cleanse . I have had my right kidney removed many years ago due to cancer, after which I got interested in detox .Many years of working in dirty machine shops (35) and drinking, smoking and not eating healthy foods took a toll , feeling better now, following your type of advice, last time I drank a lot of fresh grapefruit juice, ate black currants and a lot of bike riding, after a year I felt like a million bucks .

My dentist refuses to put Mercury in people's mouth and never has in his 30 yrs of practice

Don’t forget breast implants have heavy metals in them too. I experienced many symptoms before I had mine removed. All of my symptoms resolved once they were explanted.

[ruthramos]

This information is priceless!

Thank you Dr. Rubin!

I enjoyed meeting you all at the EO seminar last week

Blessings!

[commandresults]

Thanks, Jordan, for your professional presentation and explanations. Dr. Axe would be proud!

[laneoliver]

My question is...when do you take what? Has someone left a comment about that? I couldn’t find one. It seems like they could interact or diminish potency if taken all together? I’d love to hear. :)

Dr Rubin's book The Makers Diet transformed my life!!!

Remember to resupply your body with magnesium, calcium, and zinc.

"Why didn't you mention <this> or <that>?" you ask... well, he said there are at least 50 methods, he is simply discussing the ones which are more readily available / affordable / easy to use...
