• Most reliable test is through her
• The hair analysis gives an impression of the exposure to toxic metals in recent years
• Also amount of healthy minerals such as zinc and selenium

The detoxification system from the body

• Detoxification is a natural process of our body. Over time, our bodies accumulate all kinds of toxins from our environment, food sources, or 'silver' mercury amalgam fillings.
• As we accumulate more toxins, we become less effective at detoxifying ourselves. Efficient detoxification relies on a series of seamless reactions that bind toxins to shuttle molecules and eliminate them through detoxification organs: liver, kidneys and skin.
• The glutathione system is the most important of the detoxification systems and includes glutathione and the enzymes who work with it.
• The detoxification process has three stages: phase I, phase II and phase III. Dysfunction of the detoxification system is the most common and insidious cause of the accumulation of toxic elements and compounds in the body.
• Real health requires that all phases work in balance, otherwise the whole system will not work properly.

Disturbances in the natural detoxification of the body.

• Intestinal inflammation inhibits the elimination of toxins through a strong down-regulation of the body's natural detoxification pathways.
• Unfortunately wears exposure to pesticides, chemicals, household products and certain toxins such as mercury amalgam (“silver” fillingn) at intestinal inflammation.
• These metals then pass through your body and penetrate different cells tissues and organs within, where she can be stored for years. 
• The data suggests that continuous removal of heavy metals naturally from the gut and brain is essential for daily functioning.

Remove heavy metals naturally

• Chlorella  - acts as a natural connector for heavy metal removal
• Vitamin C  - an antioxidant that helps reduce free radicals
• Milk thistle - helps to detoxify and cleanse the liver
• Probiotics - improves intestinal flora, immune function and detoxification

What To Do To Reduce Heavy Metal Toxicity Using Food?

Dos

• Water drink 1.5-2 l
• At least 1-2 times a day bowel movements
• Healthy eating pattern (no refined food)
• Lots of green leafy vegetables
• Anti-inflammatory herbs and spices (turmeric, ginger, parsley, oregano, rosemary, thyme, ginger and cinnamon)
• Flax seeds and chia seeds - these provide omega-3 fats and fiber that can aid in colon detoxification and reduce inflammation
• Garlic and onions - these vegetables contain sulfur which helps your liver detoxify itself from heavy metals such as lead and arsenic
• Bone broth - this helps you stay hydrated, provides minerals and amino acids and further supports liver health glutathione to provide.

• Do not smoke
