Part of Paul's detox program concerned getting rid of a life-time accumulation of heavy metals that he was never aware of. We learned that heavy metals are almost unavoidable in our modern way of life. They appear in toothpaste, antiperspirants, as preservatives in foods; in our vaccines. We even breathe them in our air. During the course of diagnosis and treatment, CT scans, X-rays and radiation treatment often use contrast and other material composed of various heavy metals. It is a safe assumption that we have all accumulated unsafe levels.

The most critical thing to realize is that heavy metals NEVER leave the body on their own; they need a ‘ride’ out. The accumulation of heavy metals in the tissues can result in a multitude of health problems. Ask your healthcare provider about interveinous EDTA chelation therapy or purchase a liquid or oral chelation product with EDTA . *

"Generally speaking, heavy metals disrupt metabolic function in two basic ways:

1. First, they accumulate and thereby disrupt function in vital organs and glands such as the heart, brain, kidneys, bone, liver, etc.

2. Second, they displace vital nutritional minerals from where they should be in the body to provide biological function. For example, enzymes are catalysts for virtually every biochemical reaction in all life-sustaining processes of metabolism. But instead of calcium being present in an enzyme reaction, lead or cadmium may be there in its place. Toxic metals can't fulfill the same role as the nutritional minerals, thus their presence becomes critically disruptive to enzyme activity. Because their impact is at such a foundational level, heavy metals can be causal factors in literally any health problem." *(Dr. Keith Scott-Mumbly)
