The detoxification system from the body

Detoxify heavy metals
- 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.

Remove heavy metals from 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.

Good evening…
I have severe scalp eczema.
My skin is red, and my head is full of mountain!!
Could that be due to too much copper and/or mercury in my body?
Am a bit distraught…
I think more of disturbed intestinal flora than of heavy metals.
But this one can too.
I need more information to answer.
Good morning, I would like to have a hair test done to see how the condition is with heavy metals. Is this possible, what are the costs?
