The hazards of heavy metalsIn the right concentrations, many metals are essential to life. In excess, though, these same chemicals can be poisonous. Even chronic, low exposures can have serious health effects. Because heavy metals cannot be degraded or destroyed, they are not broken down and accumulate in the human body – concentrating in the liver, kidneys, brain, skeleton, and keratinized tissue such as hair and nails. Exposure to heavy metals has been linked with developmental disability, various cancers, kidney damage, and even death in some instances. The heavy metals most threatening to human health are lead, cadmium, and mercury.How do I get exposed to heavy metals?Heavy metals are everywhere – they are found in nature and are concentrated in some man-made products. For instance, forest fires and volcanoes can emit heavy metals into the atmosphere.The largest man-made sources include the combustion of fossil fuels, industrial processes, and auto use. Heavy metals can enter our bodies via food (fish, meat, and produce) and drinking water, and children can be exposed to lead through ingesting paint chips. The Environmental Protection Agency ranks lead, mercury, and cadmium as three of the top six toxins. Lead. Leaded gasoline is responsible for the proliferation of lead across the planet, even into Greenland’s ice. More than 90 percent of houses built before 1975 still have lead paint. Lead also exists in everything from plumbing to calcium supplements, hair dye, mini-blinds, and leaded crystal. Urban areas with high levels of traffic or trash incinerators, as well as areas containing battery plants or industrial facilities that burn fuel, may still have high lead levels in the air. Mercury. The steady release of mercury into the environment has resulted in current levels that are three to six times higher than the estimated levels in the preindustrial-era atmosphere. We can take in mercury by eating fish, which have absorbed it into their tissues from the water. Mushrooms can accumulate high levels if grown in contaminated soils. Some dental amalgam fillings contain mercury. Metallic mercury is also used in a variety of household products and industrial items, including thermostats, fluorescent light bulbs, barometers, and glass thermometers. Cadmium. Cadmium is a naturally-occurring metal in food, water, and cigarette smoke. Smoking doubles the average daily intake of cadmium. It is also found in coal, fertilizers, metal coatings, plastics and batteries. It was first listed in the 2000 U.S. Report on Carcinogens as a “known human carcinogen.” New evidence suggests it causes mutations by inhibiting the ability of cells to repair routine errors made when DNA is copied to make new cells. How do I get rid of the heavy metals in my body?The best way to avoid the threat of heavy metals is to avoid exposure in the first place, but obviously this isn’t always possible. You can stop smoking, live away from industrial areas, and maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle, but these materials are prevalent throughout our environment. However, there is a way to remove harmful levels of heavy metals from the body – it’s called chelation.A substance is “chelated” when it is grabbed, trapped, and transformed by a chelating agent. The chelating properties of humic acids have been exploited for a long time in the purification of wastewater. In effect, the unique formulation of humic and fulvic acids in Humifulvate ® acts like a magnet for the large atoms of heavy metals, capturing them so they can be flushed out of the body through normal processes of elimination. HumiKleanse: A pure, plant-derived source of humic and fulvic acid. The physical and chemical properties, water conditions, vegetation, and microbial fauna of a given soil determine the quality and quantity of the humic substances in peat. Humifulvate® comes from 3,000- to 10,000-year-old peat moss and is in a natural conservation area free from industry or agriculture.
Q & AWho should use HumiKleanse?Everyone who has been or is likely to be exposed to heavy metals, or who is in danger of exposure should use HumiKleanse. Employees in industrial areas known to use heavy metals or people living near industrial plants or in large cities may benefit as well.
