The Safest Way To Purge The Body of Heavy Metals
Date: February 19, 2014 08:27AM

According to Dr Brian Clement, these are the top three methods in his experience with people.

1). Infra-red saunas (the best method)

2). Distilled water

3). Green juices/chlorella

Pectasol-C(Modified Citrus Pectin) is very effective for detoxing toxic metals and has clinical studies backing its effectiveness at removing mercury and other heavy metals from the body.

Modified Citrus Pectin has also been shown to not remove beneficial minerals such as magnesium and zinc in the process, which is another bonus because many chelators do. I like alginate fiber which is found in brown seaweed species such as Kelp, i had good success with that also.

Dr Wilson doesn't recommend infra-red sauna's but prefers near infrared sauna's. They have some additional benefits and are electro-magnetically safer he says.

Most saunas have plenty of infrared (radiator). LED inrared saunas are overrated.

I have been working on getting rid of heavy metals, especially mercury, from my own system for decades and have used, and am using, everything mentioned so far in this thread except the infrared sauna - which I'm intuitively leery of but haven't really looked into enough due to my personal disinterest.

I consider one of my most crucial tools in this endeavor to be the use of black salt and plenty of high sulfur containing foods. Mercury loves to bond with sulfur in the body and steal it from it's many necessary functions. The high intake of sulfur containing foods and salt is not a method I read or was told about but something I figured out for myself and found it to be crucial for myself in my progress. I'm just mentioning it here because I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else and I think that's a shame.

I forgot to mention that although I have greatly benefited from Dr. Morse's YouTube videos on iridology I think he has made a big mistake when he blames, as he does, those colors around the iris being caused by sulfur. My thought is the coloration is from mercury. This is important because not only does Dr. Morse warn against taking elemental sulfur but he also warns against takeing foods that contain sulfur when in fact, in my experience, this is the exact opposite of what I have done to almost eliminate those colors!

I have to say, though, that my only break, in over 20 years, from taking LOTS of sulfur containing foods was when I was on the hclf diet. It wasn't until the past year and a half or so that the colors in my iris', which Dr. Morse ascribes to mercury, have dramatically receded and have almost have disappeared!

Modified Citrus Pectin ? Is this natural and raw?
Is it a food or a vitamin?

Yeah its natural and is a form of pectin fiber(typically found in citrus fruits) which has been altered so that it can be more easily absorbed by the digestive tract. To my knowledge its not raw but not that it would matter anyway. The studies are there to prove its effectiveness.

Pectasol-C(Modified Citrus Pectin) is considered to be safe and there have been minimal side effects reported from its use.

Modified Citrus Pectin has shown other benefits such as being able to slow or stop the growth of various cancers such as those of the breast, skin or prostate.

There are other brands of modified citrus pectin but pectasol-C from Econugenics is the one with the most studies on its benefits.

I am surprise that fasting is not on the list.
Dry fasting should be number one.

But one must know that their is toxicity in the body
Are we to assume we have a problem or do we have to test for it and how?

For the record and for those who did not read my posts on my experience with heavy metals - I tested positive for mercury toxicity. The tissue sample was sent to Mayo Clinic by my local hospital, which is where it was removed, in an invasive surgical biopsy.

Previously to that I had had a 24 hour urine test for mercury which revealed nothing.

Why did you have to resort to surgery, couldn't you have used mega-doses of chlorella and spirulina along with the other things mentioned here?

Huh? Surgery doesn't remove mercury toxicity. No one has surgery for that and neither did I. Your comprehension is even lower than I thought or you have not read my posts or you just have a very poor memory.

Oops, I'm the one who thinks those colors around the iris are from mercury. Dr. Morse thinks those colors is from sulfur accumulation.

Yeah it's hard to keep track of all of your health issues, forgive me, it's been quite a long list.

While I just caught my error in my original post I need to correct it here, too, as it was quoted...

I'm the one who thinks those colors around the iris are from mercury. Dr. Morse thinks those colors is from sulfur accumulation.

what part or parts of the body is excise in order

to get the tissue biopsy

to test for heavy metals

so... urine and hair analysis are pretty low on the accuracy gauge?

too bad

seems less invasive

Tsm, sorry to change the topic, do you know how to remove toxins,micro cystin and anti nutrient from AFA, klamath lake source?.

It could save every one's money and we can buy regular source of algae instead from E3 live.

ramanan

removing the microsystin from the algae involves cold centrifuge

and does a pretty good job of removing most if not all of it

call the company where u buy your algae

and ask if they use it

they should

if not, then i would not eat it

not all companies that mine from klamath are the same

some have no scruples and will harvest at any time without regards to when
the microsystin levels are the highest ( usually during warm weathers)

others will not harvest during those times at all

some will use cold centrifuge methods to remove microsystin

others don't even bother to do so

so it all depends on the company

they are not all the same

even if it is from klamath lake

good luck

that being said

cold centrifuge methods do not remove heavy metals

so... it is only microsystin that is removed

if u want to know the heavy metals

i would simply ask the company ( once again)

and see if they can give you a report

in ppm ( parts per million
