Heavy Metals Protocol

Heavy metals are ubiquitous in our environment and may occur as a result of industrial exposure, amalgams or dental work, air or water pollution, foods, vaccines, medicines, improperly coated food containers, or the ingestion of lead-based paints.

Overview

The protocol is a logical second step in the healing journey. Remember the first step is always drainage, nervous system regulation, and trauma work, followed by protocols like mold, leaky gut, parasites, or this protocol, heavy metals.

Heavy metals occur naturally in the earth’s crust or can be made more volatile by combinations with manmade industrial toxins. Certain metals like arsenic, mercury, aluminum, cadmium, cobalt, lead, or uranium can cause damage through continuous invisible exposure or bioaccumulate in the lymph or bone. Heavy metals come with various vague and hard-to-diagnose symptoms such as mood changes, extreme shyness, anger, autoimmunity, cancer, gene changes, rashes, or accelerated aging.

The safest way to release metals is to open drainage and let the body release them itself with some coaxing of safe supplementation. This course should help guide you through an understanding and ways of eliminating heavy metals naturally.

This is a urine test so you will need to provocate (using ALA with EDTA in our heavy metals protocol) prior to taking the test for accurate results. The Heavy Metals panel examines heavy metal toxicity to 20 of the most common heavy metals, which can be found in the environment, air, water sources, and common consumer products. Heavy metal toxicity can contribute to a total toxic burden and cause inflammatory symptoms including neurological and cognitive (brain) dysfunction, metabolic problems, digestive complaints, impaired detoxification, and more.

Sample Type: Urine
