low-level exposure can lead to partial paralysis and diabetes.
Even if you don’t eat chicken, don’t think you are safe: chicken manure is
used as fertilizer on vegetable farms and this contains arsenic which then
contaminates the vegetables. Arsenic is everywhere.
Cadmium is also widespread: it is found in grains like wheat and leafy
vegetables, which readily absorb cadmium from the soil. Cadmium may also
contaminate fish. It is also a constituent of alloys, pigments, batteries and metal
coatings. Cadmium is also found in cigarette fumes and fumes from vehicles.
There are many other places you might meet cadmium, even without knowing it.
Avoidance is very difficult, as I have explained. Even babies are being born with
heavy metal poisoning in the womb. They didn’t eat anything!
Yet if you have cancer, or want to prevent it, you must try to get rid of these
dangerous metals from your body.
The known scientific method is called Chelation. Some very simple substances
have Chelation possibilities: cilantro (coriander) for example. Apple pectin and
seaweed, such as kelp.
Better is the green algae called chlorella. That’s really quite successful. Chlorella
is one of the MOST scientifically researched supplements in human history. There
are thousands of research papers on chlorella from medical institutions, scientific
journals and universities. NASA has decided it will be one of the first foods grown
on the space station when it is completed. There is not a single report of toxicity
to humans taking chlorella, though if you have too much iron on board—a
disease called hemochromatosis—you should know that chlorella contains lots of
iron.
Alpha lipoic acid, which is a great brain re-inforcer and glutathione enhancer, also
has chelation properties. That’s useful at doses of 100- 200 mgms.
Beyond these simple compounds you will need to see someone who is licensed
to carry out office chelation. Unfortunately, that is fraught with medico-legal
problems. Chelation agents are much more controversial. The simplest is EDTA,
which is added to food so it’s pretty safe. Others include succinate, DMPS and
DMSA. You can read about these widely on the web.
