Heavy Metals Detox

Rate this book

In 1974, The World Health Organization reported that 82% of all chronic degenerative disease was caused by toxic metal poisoning. Since then, heavy metals have continued to seep quietly into our waterways, our soil, and even the air we breathe. Here's where it gets interesting…

Detoxification is something your body does every second of every day. Six main pathways help to eliminate toxins from the body. Over time, these pathways can become less efficient. Fatigue sets in and brain fog becomes the new normal. The good news is, each of these pathways can be enhanced! This purpose of this book is to show you how. 

Today, trace amounts of heavy metals can be found in fruit juice, health supplements, and even baby formula! To be clear, heavy metals have become an insidious part of life. And while a lot can be said for healthy eating, no amount of kale soup is going to chelate heavy metals. Remember, organic food is tested for pesticides, not toxic metals.

Your ability to handle this level of exposure depends on the following three things. 1. The substance 2. The amount of time spent coming into contact with it 3. How well your detoxification pathways perform. 

Here’s what this book will show you…

· An overview of aluminum, lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium.

· How to test for toxicity

· What detoxification pathways are (and how to optimize them)

· How to keep toxic substances out of your home

· The importance of a pre-tox

· Gentle detox protocols you can try from home

· Finding and working with a licensed practitioner

Good info!!

I found this book so helpful! I have found the topic of detoxing intimidating. I've didn't ever go far enough in detoxing to get great results. But, I have been afraid to go too quickly because I knew it would put me in a healing crisis. This book has a great plan to follow!

One of nice books to read about detoxification

Best book yet I have read about how to flush those toxins out of your body. Sometimes better than taking on vitamin supplements, now I know how to deal with heavy metals better, particularly by use of binders, unlike before I thought detoxification was a hard process that I have to go through, it didn't occur to me that there are whole lot of easy options I can choose and do.

This book is very informative, most of us are toxic laden as most foods we ate are commercialized and just for profit, and even organic foods are not heavy metal free, therefore the best option to get your health back is to detox, jump in and read this book.

A book that covers not only

This book covers not only heavy metals but causes of many people's stomach problems. I read it because my hubby had hep C, was cured but his liver causes him problems, and he actually addressed a problem my hubby has of being unable to sleep due to his liver. I do not have any heavy metal problems, but I do avoid some of these as I have the gene for Alzheimer's on both sides of my family and at 67 doing what I can to avoid it. As I said a very thorough book

Good insight into heavy metals and how they can affect your body. There are a lot of metals in daily life you may not know about and this book helps identify them and how to detox yourself from them.

The research done for you!

I discovered this book when I was trying to gather information to help my brother after he became a medical puzzle. Rather than me overwhelming him with information on things for him to try, I thought this book would be better received. I then decided to purchase the Kindle version for myself and am so glad I did. Not only can I discuss sections and topics with my brother! I found it taught me. This book covered so much of the information I had learned over the course of several years, and many many gruelling hours and rabbit holes. I could have saved myself a lot of time and anguish had I discovered this book earlier. And to top it off, I learned even more by reading it!!! Thank you James, for doing the work and then sharing it with us.

I am starting the process of chelation. This was helpful as I try to better understand the path forward. The book gives a very basic intro to heavy metal exposure, toxicity, and detoxing. It is helpful for gaining a broad understanding but not as detailed as I would have liked. It is a good first step- easy to read and doesn’t assume any previous knowledge on the topic.

Really informative easy to read

Loved this book, lots of fantastic information explained in an easy to understand way. No difficult jargon, everything broken down and just enough information provided so it didn't become overwhelming. Definitely a book I will come back to time and time again. Highly recommend this.

Quick overview of heavy metal detox

I just finished this short detox e-book and am happy I read it. I have been planning on doing a heavy metal detox for a while and want to make sure I do it the right way. Now I feel more confident in taking the next steps in my detox, and feel like I will get better results by following the recommendations in the book. Thanks James!

Very informative

This book really breaks down the result of heavy metals in our bodies and how to deplete them over time. Easy read and I love that there are links to read further on the various topics he brings up. Everyone should read this book.

What I will take away from this is to eat more strawberries, sardines and anchovies and to buy an infrared sauna!
