Chronic Illness, The Immune System, & The Impact of Heavy Metals

Heavy metals such as aluminum, cadmium, lead, mercury, and arsenic can be found all around us in our day to day lives (A topic we’ve touched on previously in this forum, The Hazards of Heavy Metal Contamination). These toxic heavy metals are prevalent in the food we eat, the water we drink, materials we use to build, supplements we put into our body, and basically everywhere else in between.

In this article, we’ll dig deeper into the topic of heavy metals and their potential effects on our body’s immune system.

Chronic Illness & Ailments

Unfortunately, on a regular basis, our team at Chelation Health Products hears from someone new, suffering from a chronic illness or ailment, that traditional medicine and traditional over the counter treatments can’t seem to alleviate. Their symptoms vary, but typically range between fatigue, headaches, joint pain, fogginess, sluggishness, inflammation, stomach issues (constipation or diarrhea), constant infection, insomnia, bad memory, skin issues, and more. If you find yourself falling into one or more of these categories, you aren’t alone.

Typically, these individuals have been searching for answers to their condition for months if not years, and they have been doing everything under the sun to get and stay as healthy as possible. They eat well. They exercise. They don’t overindulge. They take health supplements. They meditate or do yoga. They take mental health seriously. And they STILL can’t get past their chronic symptoms.

That’s when we ask if they have tried an EDTA Chelation Detox to remove the toxic heavy metals that may be building up within their body. In many cases, people are unaware of what Chelation Detoxification products are or even aware of the dangers heavy metals pose to their health.

Heavy Metal Prevalence & Link to Chronic Illness

Although emissions via air pollution have declined in developing countries in recent years, the risk of exposure to heavy metal toxins through other channels is always increasing. The exact effects of heavy metals on the body are not totally clear, but through a variety of studies, we’ve learned that different toxins produce different physical reactions, in different people.

For instance, some act as a “pseudo-element of the body while at certain times they interfere with the basic metabolic processes”. But the levels of toxicity vary case by case depending on exposure levels, creating a wide range of different reaction. Was exposure acute or chronic? Was the toxin inhaled, ingested, or absorbed? Etc.

Once Introduced Heavy Metals Stick Around

Once a heavy metal has been introduced into our system, they persist for an indefinite period because the body cannot biodegrade them. These heavy metals continue to accumulate (chronic) and when they reach high concentration, they begin to form complex compounds within cells and tissue – leading to resulting disease.

Research has also shown that excess exposure to heavy metals can suppress the immune system, becoming the root cause of further illness and disease. This includes various forms of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, developmental abnormalities, neurologic and neurobehavioral disorders, diabetes, hearing loss, hematologic and immunologic disorders.

Relief From Heavy Metals

If you’re one of the many people experiencing ongoing symptoms from a disease or illness that traditional treatments can’t seem to help, proper chelation detoxification could be the answer you’re looking for.

Detoxifying and cleansing your body of toxic heavy metals is an important part of staying healthy. By removing these toxins, you are empowering your body and lowering the risk for all diseases while simultaneously slowing down the rate of aging on a cellular level.
