Systemic Heavy Metal Removal
Toxic heavy metals are all around us – in the food we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe. This becomes a more serious health concern with increased exposure or when our ability to eliminate them from the body is significantly limited. Heavy metals interfere with our health in many ways, primarily by binding to enzymes and hormones, interfering with their actions throughout various biochemical pathways in the body.
The body has a strong affinity to hold onto heavy metals and thus they are not easily excreted. This means that even minimal daily exposure can slowly lead to a high total body burden - significantly impacting our health, depending on the type of metal and type of tissue it is affecting. The most common storage sites for toxic heavy metals are: fat, bone, kidney, and brain tissues.
At Adara, our focus is primarily on mercury because of its ubiquity in the environment and our diet (mainly seafood). Some of the more common symptoms of acute and longer term mercury exposure are:
- Fatigue/weakness,
- Anxiety
- Memory loss or ‘brain fog’
- Tremors
- Insomnia
Some of the conditions that have been correlated with mercury and heavy metal exposure, either stemming from cause or aggravation, are:
- Chronic fatigue
- Multiple sclerosis
- Fibromyalgia
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Parkinson’s disease
- Autism spectrum disorder
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Multiple chemical sensitivities
- Autoimmune conditions
- Depression and anxiety
Proper assessment, monitoring, support and removal of these heavy metals are crucial to achieve optimal health. With this in mind, we have developed specific therapies targeting mercury chelation and are in collaboration with holistic medical doctors and a holistic dentist who focus on heavy metal chelation to provide you with the best comprehensive mercury removal program.
