This is a hot topic for many reasons, but the most important reason is that we all have them, some of us more, some of us less.

I was “lucky” enough to be pretty close to Chernobyl when the nuclear accident/disaster happened in 1986 in Ukraine that was part of Russia at that time. I was also at an age when heavy metal exposure was more detrimental, 15 years old. But the time we were 20, some of my friends had their hair completely white and many other health issues. For me scoliosis, some gray hair at 22 and thyroid issues were the most significant challenges. I say I was lucky because my inquiring mind transformed this accident into a gift, continuously learning how to recover my health in natural ways. The answer to man made challenges is in nature, in natural simple solutions.

Many health practitioners are working on this area of our health knowing that many of the imbalances we experience now in our society have root in the heave metal toxic load we all carry. There are many ways, some more aggressive, some more gentle. Personally I embrace the gentle ways with solutions that spare the liver and kidneys as much is possible from processing those toxins. The more we excrete those heavy metals through skin, feet and other safer ways for the liver, the better.

Of course a huge step is eliminating heavy metals intake and exposure (from food, skin care products, air, water, cleaning products etc)

Regarding reducing out toxic load, some practitioners value ionic foot baths. It is true that are helpful, but in my experience with less money we can get more powerful results.

1. My first step is to use detox foot pads over night (ideal with zeolite, fulvic acid or charcoal)
2. Next step is to use fulvic acid detox foot soaks alternating with zeolite foot soaks, depending on the level of toxicity, starting with a lower frequency and gradually increasing to every day. Fulvic acid should have a COA (certificate of analysis that shows very low or undetectable levels of heavy metals)
