We need to cleanse, because we acquire toxins in our bodies on a regular basis. In today’s world, an estimated one billion humans are exposed regularly to environmental toxins, including mercury, which is more common than most people realize. (This is especially true for people who eat seafood or salt taken from today’s polluted oceans.)

We live in a world that is literally saturated with toxins. We can get toxins by breathing in polluted air, taking showers or drinking chlorinated tap water, eating foods when we don’t know their source or preparation method, pesticides, toxic cleaning fluids, dry-cleaning fluids, pest control fluids, and wearing new, unwashed clothing. We can get mercury toxicity from energy-saving light bulbs (these emit a toxic mercury vapor into the air that we breathe), seafood (tuna and swordfish are particularly high in mercury), most vaccines, some body care products, water, and amalgam fillings.

Over one billion humans are exposed to high levels of toxic metals and metalloids in the environment, including mercury. The number of persons suffering from subclinical metal poisoning is believed to be several million.

Some common symptoms of being toxic (and being in need of a detoxification cleanse) are: constipation, gas and bloating, diarrhea, back pain, joint and muscle pain, irritable bowel syndrome, allergies, insatiable hunger, itchy ears, nose, or anus, unpleasant sensations in the stomach, nervousness, grumpiness, chronic fatigue, lethargy or apathy, various skin problems, problems sleeping, nutritional deficiencies or anemia, problems with the immune system, teeth grinding or clenching, weight gain, forgetfulness, and blurry vision.

One of the most damaging toxins that we are exposed to is mercury. Mercury is a neurotoxin, and it’s found in amalgam fillings, vaccines, seafood, personal care products,
light bulbs, batteries, electronics, water, and more.

Studies show that mercury, even in small amounts, can damage the central nervous system causing irritability, fatigue, mood swings, behavioral problems, tremors, headaches, hearing loss, dysarthria ( a speech sound disorder), incoordination, hallucinations, loss of peripheral vision, “pins and needles” feelings, usually in the hands, feet, and around the mouth, lack of coordination of movements, ringing in your ears, insomnia, and even death.

If you have you been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, MS, fibromyalgia, Autism, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig’s disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, or a brain tumor, you may actually have mercury poisoning.

Mercury can damage the brain, kidneys, liver and central nervous system. Infants and children are particularly vulnerable to the toxic effects of mercury.

Mercury affects male children at a higher rate than females.

Mercury in the cardiovascular system, “even in low doses can cause hypertension and alterations in endothelial function.”

Frequently, people tell me that they can’t lose weight no matter what they do. This can be because the body is holding onto toxins by surrounding them with fat cells. This happens when the body gets overloaded with toxins. In order to protect you from the toxins, your body will surround them with fat to protect you from their harmful effects. Until you can detoxify the body, it will hold onto those protective layers of fat. When you do a detoxification cleanse, many people find that they easily lose weight. This is because the body no longer has a need for the fat it was protecting you with.

Additionally, our bodies become acidic through stress and the foods we eat. These toxins and acids hurt our bodies deep within our cells. How can the body have a clean liver, blood, or lymphatic system if it is filled with toxins, acid, and waste? A clean intestinal system and frequent, thorough bowel movements are key elements of a truly healthy system.

We absorb most of our nutrients though the intestinal wall. If it is clean, we are able to absorb the nutrients. If it is not clean, but is instead full of waste and rancid debris, then the body won’t get the nutrients it needs. Dr. Anthony Bassler, a gastroenterologist, said in 1942, “Every physician should realize the intestinal toxemias (poisons) are the most important primary and contributing cause of many disorders and diseases of the body.”

We also need to cleanse because our intestines can become thick with plaque over time. This “mucoid plaque” can result from consuming foods like milk, wheat, and meat. It can be thick and rubbery. It can even look a little like a rope when it exits in the body.

In his book, “Tissue Cleansing through Bowel Management,”
Dr. Bernard Jensen, DC, ND, PhD addresses this: “The heavy mucus coating in the colon thickens and becomes a host of putrefaction. The blood capillaries to the colon begin to pick up the toxins, poisons, and noxious debris as they seep through the bowel wall. All tissues and organs of the body are now taking on toxic substances. Here is the beginning of true autointoxication on a physiological level.

One autopsy revealed a colon to be 9 inches in diameter with a passage through it no larger than a pencil. The rest was caked up layer upon layer of encrusted fecal material. This accumulation can have the consistency of truck tire rubber. It’s that hard and black. Another autopsy revealed a stagnant colon to weigh in at an incredible 40 pounds.“

Dr. Richard Anderson, ND, NMD addresses the subject of plaque as well. Dr. Anderson, an expert on colon cleansing, wrote “Cleanse and Purify Thyself,” Volumes 1 & 2. In an article on colon plaque, he says: “The phrase, “mucoid plaque” is a coined term that I use to describe various conditions found throughout the body, especially in hollow organs and the alimentary canal. It is a substance that the body naturally creates under unnatural conditions, such as attacks from acids, drugs, heavy metals, and toxic chemicals.“

Professional cleanses, like colonics or enemas, can remove this old leftover waste and plaque from the intestinal tract.

The good news is that there are really effective cleanses that can help you safely remove these toxins from your body. I recommend cleansing for a minimum of 10 days and as long as 21 days to detoxify the body and adjust its pH on a regular basis. This will keep the inner environment of the body’s digestive system cleaner, healthier, and able to support a vibrant immune system.

Along with this comes an additional benefit. A major part of the body’s happiness chemical, serotonin, is synthesized in the gastrointestinal tract. It is no wonder people feel happier and better when their bowels are clean and functioning in the optimum way! I do a month-long cleanse every January, to start off the New Year fresh and renewed after the holidays.

Each time you cleanse, it will get easier. Eventually, or maybe very quickly, you will see a difference in how you feel.

I do a healthy chlorophyll and fiber-rich cleanse every month, and I recommend it to my clients. You can do as little or as much as you find is best for you. I use products from Chemical Free Body.
I use the juice formula, “Green 85” and the gut and toxin detox supplements. I also use the “Green 85″ drink mix as a super-food meal when I need something quick and nourishing. This is my version of a “fast-food meal.”

We should all try to keep our body, especially our liver, as clean and high in nutrients as possible for ultimate health and
well-being. This way we will absorb our nutrients more effectively.

I believe the items that are lacking in most people’s diet today
are healthy types of fiber, chlorophyll-rich green foods, enzymes, and probiotics. The drink mix “Green 85” by Chemical Free Body, has all of those. Quite simply, it is made up of healthy ingredients that most people lack in their normal everyday diet.

The nutrients will feed your body, as well as flush and pull toxins and acids out of your cells. The fiber will absorb these toxins and expand like a sponge. It is important to drink a lot of water, which will create a cleaning effect and help move it through your body. Along with the sponge-like fiber, the toxic particles, plaque, and other debris (that might be lodged in the intestines) will be dragged out.

Each time you cleanse, it will clean out a little more. Think of the layers of an onion. When you start, you will get one layer, and the next time, you will get the next layer. You may eventually find this is a good part of your daily or weekly routine.
I do this cleanse a few times a week, year-round, as a normal part of my life/diet.

All of the food you consume should be efficiently digested, the nutrients absorbed, and the waste eliminated. If you are eating three times per day, then you should be having bowel movements three times per day. The more fiber you ingest, the easier and more efficiently the waste will be eliminated. There is not a set time period for this, but ideally it should be anywhere from 3–12 hours after each meal.

You can test your digestive function by eating a meal of raw or slightly steamed red beets. The deep red color in the bowel movement will allow you to see when that meal is eliminated.
This is an easy way to see if your body is eliminating quickly
and efficiently.

If you feel uncomfortable and are not having bowel movements, you may want to get a colonic series to help get your system cleaned out and moving again. Do this before you do any type of cleanse. You don’t want to add more to the already clogged up bowels.

Drink lots of water and fresh green organic vegetable juices to keep the toxins, acid, and waste moving out of the body.
This is so important!

These cleanses are cleaning out the inside of your body. With the removal of the plaque, waste, and debris, you will also be alkalizing your body with the super detox foods.

You will have to make a personal decision about the length of your cleanse. Many physicians think 21 days is the best length. You may want to consult me or your physician before starting a cleanse, or do the cleanse under his or her guidance. Many wonderful physicians and clinics have juice fasts, cleanses, and other programs you can do under their guidance.

The following will add to the effectiveness of the cleanse and rejuvenation of the body and spirit:
1. Adding some magnesium chloride flakes to your baths
or foot-soaks
2. Taking infrared saunas
3. exercising
4. sweating
5. laughing regularly

Join me for an adventure in food, wellness, peace, and a healthy environment! Our challenge for the month of March is to exercise daily for a minimum of 20 minutes, eat something organic, plant-based and nutrient-dense at least once per day, and do something joyfully creative and fun!

Over one billion humans are exposed to high levels of toxic metals and metalloids in the environment, including mercury. The number of persons suffering from subclinical metal poisoning is believed to be several million.

Mercury is a neurotoxin and it’s found in amalgam fillings, vaccines, seafood, personal care products, light bulbs (some of the new energy-saving bulbs and fluorescent lights), batteries, electronics, water, etc. Studies show that mercury, even in small amounts, can damage the central nervous system causing irritability, fatigue, mood swings, behavioral problems, tremors, headaches, hearing loss, dysarthria, incoordination, hallucinations, loss of peripheral vision, “pins and needles” feelings, usually in the hands, feet, and around the mouth, lack of coordination of movements, ringing in your ears, insomnia, and even death.”

Have you been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, MS, fibromyalgia, Autism, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig’s disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, or a brain tumor? You may actually have mercury poisoning.

“Over the years there have been other convincing pieces of research into the mercury MS connection (Br Dental J, 1993; 175(10): 355-62). Most recently, a Swedish study showed that the normal mercury level in the spinal fluid contained 0.4 micrograms per litre; in MS victims studies that level rose to an average of 3.0 micrograms per litre more than seven times the normal level.“

Mercury can damage the brain, kidneys, liver and central nervous system. Infants and children are particularly vulnerable to the toxic effects of mercury.

(To learn more about the merury in the vaccines and the US: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNVxISSidCk

It affects male children at a higher rate than females.)

Mercury is a neurotoxin.

Mercury in the cardiovascular system, “even in low doses can cause hypertension and alterations in endothelial function.”

Children’s organs are still forming and because of this, the exposure can be even more dangerous. Children exposed to methylmercury while they are in the womb can have impacts to their:

• cognitive thinking
• memory
• attention
• language
• fine motor skills
• visual-spatial skills

Many people today eat fish thinking it is a healthy protein food choice for them, but it may actually be one of the least healthy, because of the contamination from the polluted waters.

If you eat fish, the FDA advices:

1. Do not eat Shark, Swordfish, King Mackerel, or Tilefish because they contain high levels of mercury.
   2. Eat up to 12 ounces (2 average meals) a week of a variety of fish and shellfish that are lower in mercury.

• Five of the most commonly eaten fish that are low in mercury are shrimp, canned light tuna, salmon, pollock, and catfish.
• Another commonly eaten fish, albacore (“white”) tuna has more mercury than canned light tuna. So, when choosing your two meals of fish and shellfish, you may eat up to 6 ounces (one average meal) of albacore tuna per week.

3. Check local advisories about the safety of fish caught by family and friends in your local lakes, rivers, and coastal areas. If no advice is available, eat up to 6 ounces (one average meal) per week of fish you catch from local waters, but don’t consume any other fish during that week.

A study completed in 2009 and released by the U.S. government found that every single freshwater fish tested was contaminated with mercury. They tested fish from 291 different streams across the country and didn’t find a single mercury-free fish. What’s more, fish mercury levels were often alarmingly high.

You can see more fish and where they fall in the mercury scale on the Natural Resources Defense Council website.

Research shows that if you eat fish that are commonly high in mercury, it can stay in your body up to a year or more.

The mercury is absorbed into your bloodstream and from there will be absorbed by the cells in the tissue and organs, resulting in symptoms not recognized as being mercury poisoning.

According to Consumers for Dental Choice, “Between 270 and 341 tonnes of mercury are consumed globally for use in amalgam each year. Accounting for at least 10% of global mercury consumption, amalgam is among the largest consumer uses of mercury in the world.”

“Dental amalgam is a tooth filling material that is approximately 50% mercury. It is sometimes misleadingly called a “silver filling”, even though it contains far more mercury than silver. Mercury, a heavy metal, is known to be poisonous to the human nervous system. “ Make sure you find a dentist that uses mercury free fillings or is also able to remove any mercury filling safely, that you may have.

“Former dental assistant Rebecca Dutton, whose newborn daughter was diagnosed with scoliosis – which Dutton is convinced was due to her own high exposure to mercury – says that “Mercury is the third most toxic substance on the planet and we are still putting it in people’s mouths – yet the only place dental amalgam is not regarded as toxic waste is in a living mouth!”³

In a large sampling of U.S. dentists, 10% were found to have high mercury levels and 1% to have very high levels.³ An OSHA study also found that up to 16% of U.S. dental offices exceed their standard of mercury in the air, on equipment, etc.

“Every agency involved, from the American Dental Association (ADA) to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), admit that the removal of dental mercury emits mercury vapor and particles and that removed amalgams are often flushed without separation into the sewer system. These are often dumped directly into the waste-water system and end up in the public water supply.”

“Mercury has been found in large amounts of personal care products. These include body lotions, cosmetics, anti-aging creams, acne treatments, skin lighteners, antiseptic and beauty soaps.  Mercury is extremely toxic — and exposure can lead to serious health consequences.”

It’s important to use safe cosmetics and skin care products. “Mercury exposure can damage the brain, lungs, kidney, heart, and immune system of people of all ages.”

“The danger of mercury exposure isn’t just to people using products containing this chemical.  Families and pets of people using these products can suffer unpleasant and debilitating health conditions, as well”

Arthur Simone, M.D., senior medical advisor at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clarifies how families become exposed.

“Your family might breathe mercury vapors released from these products. Your children might touch washcloths or towels that are contaminated with mercury. It could be as simple as touching someone’s cheek or face.”

“In the U.S., the limit on mercury in products is 1 part per million.  In some of these creams, we’ve been finding levels as high as 210,000 parts per million — really substantial amounts of mercury. If people are using the product quite regularly, their hands will exude it, it will get in their food, on their counter-tops, on the sheets their kids sleep on.”

Jason Humbert of FDA’s Office of Regulatory Affairs adds that these toxic products are usually manufactured overseas — then illegally sold in the United States.  They’re found in shops that cater to the African, Asian, Latino, or Middle Eastern communities.

Light bulbs are another source of mercury poisoning and you may not even be aware you are being exposed.

Light bulbs in offices, buildings, homes, hotels, etc. can have mercury toxicity in them.  A “report advises that the bulbs should not be left on for extended periods, particularly near someone’s head, as they emit poisonous materials when switched on.

Peter Braun, who carried out the tests at the Berlin’s Alab Laboratory, said: “For such carcinogenic substances it is important they are kept as far away as possible from the human environment.”

 German scientists claimed that several carcinogenic chemicals and toxins were released when the environmentally-friendly compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) were switched on, including phenol, naphthalene and styrene.

Andreas Kirchner, of the Federation of German Engineers, said: “Electrical smog develops around these lamps. “

“CFL’s or Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs were meant to replace traditional round incandescent light bulbs.  They were touted to be cost and energy effective, but what many consumers didn’t know was that CFLs contain hazardous mercury gas. In addition to mercury, Peter Braun at Berlin Germany’s Alab Laboratory, found that when the bulbs are turned on several carcinogenic chemicals and toxins are released into the environment, including phenol and naphthalene.”

These lightbulbs can cause cancer, mercury poisoning, and other health problems.”

Mercury is a potent neurotoxin. According to the EPA, one CFL bulb contains 4-5 milligrams of mercury, which is enough to contaminate 6,000 gallons of water.

So, what can be done to help detox from these toxins and mercury?

So, if you eat any seafood, have had vaccines, drink water, have had amalgam fillings, breathe air, are around toxic light bulbs, and more… you may have some mercury in your system, which can cause some serious problems. In my book, How To Be A Healthy Vegetarian, 2nd edition, I have an extensive chapter on cleansing and detoxification. Let me know if you have any questions. Email me at: Nancyalisa @protonmail. com

Dr. Bill McGraw has written a wonderfully detailed book on Mercury, it’s effects, and how to detoxify. I highly recommend it. Mercury, The Ultimate Truth And Chronic Disease

Dr. McGraw’s personal journey in discovering mercury created health challenges for him. He details how medical professionals were either unaware of the dangers of mercury, or they completely overlooked the fact that mercury toxicity creates enormous health problems and disease.

All of his research is well-cited.  I especially loved the index, which enabled me to do further review on the subject.

I believe that anyone who reads this book can come away with valuable information and steps to help themselves and their loved ones avoid mercury, and to understand how various diseases can be caused by mercury. Some diseases may be misdiagnosed when it is actually mercury poisoning.  It also includes various methods to help one detoxify from mercury in a healthy way.

I applaud Dr. McGraw and his well-written book on Mercury.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I wish you great health!

Love, Nancy
