Mercury and Lead Detox Outline
My personal experience with mercury and other heavy metals
I thought I was doing my health a favor by consuming fish, they are rich in omega 3…
In the year 2000 I decided to get my 11 mercury fillings removed, called silver almalgam
Went for chelation treatment
I don’t believe I got all the metals out
Metals are removed from superficial areas reachable by the chelating agent
John gave me this small bottle of clear liquid
John how are heavy metals harmful to the body?

Good digestion is a major key to vibrant health, no matter what your age or health condition. If you are looking to increase your energy and vitality or help your body to recover from illness or injury, proper digestion is critically important.
You have heard it said, “You are what you eat.”, But more importantly you are what you digest, absorb and assimilate. It’s easy to see the connection between digestion and things like, acid reflux, indigestion, heart burn, Irritable bowel, constipation and the like. The truth is most Natural Health practitioners are of the opinion that most disease have a connection to the digestive tract. If you are not breaking down and absorbing the nutrients in your food very well, you are going to have problems.
Here’s the first quick tip to improve digestion, chew your food and chew it good. digestion actually begins in the mouth. Enzymes are present in your saliva, which mixes with the food and begins the digestive process. Thorough chewing also breaks the food down into smaller particles, which makes the entire digestive process easier, and improves absorption of nutrients.
Herbs are inexpensive and easy to find at most grocery stores. If you have a spice rack at home and you can’t remember how old the herbs are, or when they were last used, it’s best to throw them away and start fresh. Never store herbs above the stove, where heat and moisture can ruin them.
There are a number of herbs that have bee traditionally used to improve digestion. Many of these herbs have other benefits as well along with making food taste better.
This is just a partial list. Explore cookbooks and herbal books.
The next quick tip, (and this one’s free also) is to limit the amount of liquid you drink with a meal. Water, soft drinks and other liquids dilute the digestive juices hydrochloric acid and enzymes. A few sips of water won’t hurt, but large beverages can have a negative impact on your tummy.
| Enzymes, were once abundant in our diets before the dawn of modern food processing and the practice of shipping foods long distances. Fresh, locally grown, raw organic fruits and vegetables contain an abundance of enzymes. Almost no one gets enough enzymes from their diet anymore. Enzymes are critical for good health, they perform myriad of functions in the human body. You could not talk, breath, think or move around without enzymes working in your body. One of the primary causes of low energy and chronic health problems is declining enzymes in the body. I personally take enzymes every day. After researching and trying multiple enzyme products, the best one I have found so far is called Food Enzymes. |
Probiotics are the army of healthy bacteria living in our intestinal tract. They help us to maintain health in many ways. There are actually more micro-organisms in the digestive tract than cells in the body. There are several things that can beat up on your army of beneficial micro-organsims:
To restore a healthy army of good guys consider a probiotic supplement.
Eat quality foods. The best way to improve your diet is to increase fresh, raw, organic vegetables and fruits. The old saying goes, Garbage in - Garbage out. When you put junk into your digestive tract, it becomes overtaxed and overburdened. Try puting real food in.
Relax While Eating. If you are stressed out the body actually pulls the blood supply away from the digestive proccess. The top priority of your body becomes sending oxygen and energy to your muscles, heart, lungs and brain. This is a basic sirvival mechanism. Under stress, digestion becomes low priority. The body prepeares for fight or flight. If you are feeling stressed out when you sit down to eat, try taking a few deep breathes first. Give thanks for your food. Savor the delicious armoma, taste and texture of the food.
Eating Meditation is the practice of paying attention to the process of eating. Take your time and really be aware of your food, the taste, the texture. Ask your body, how do you like this?
