today we’re going to talk about the

relationship between heavy metal

toxicity and changes in your skin I want

to focus on four main heavy metals and

really it’s the dose that determines the

poison we’re all exposed to various

toxins and definitely heavy metals in

certain amounts and if they’re low

enough they won’t affect our bodies in

fact there’s some really interesting

information

that you might find quite shocking

certain experiments with animals have

indicated that even a deficiency of some

of these heavy metals can create

problems in growth and reproduction so

apparently some of these heavy metals

act as essential trace minerals

interesting but let’s just start with

this thing called arsenic now you’re

normally going to find arsenic in

pressurized wood maybe in the water

supply maybe in an insecticide that ends

up on your food but too much arsenic can

create rate either a hyper or

hypopigmentation that means that your

skin can start to look a little bit

darker or lighter I’m talking about

little dark spots or little white spots

and primarily you might see this on your

torso your the mid part of your body you

may also notice a hard surface on the

palms of your hand and the soles of your

feet this is called keratosis and this

is another indication that potentially

it could be arsenic now just because you

have these symptoms does not mean you

have this problem you have to look at

the whole picture but I think it’s

important to understand the connection

so maybe you can evaluate it deeper and

see if there is a problem or not the

thing about arsenic is it depletes

glutathione and so there are certain

things that you can take or make sure

you have in your body in sufficient

amounts to protect you against Arsenic

and that would be selenium okay one

Brazil nut will give you a good amount

of selenium selenium is also naturally

in Seafood but selenium is one

zinc is number two folate which is one

of the B vitamins and carotenoids which

is an antioxidant and a lot of

vegetables one remedy for arsenic is

spirulina that can be protective against

arsenic now the next one I want to talk

about is cadmium cadmium is in spray

paints tobacco when you if you smoke

cigarettes and it’s also in shellfish if

someone is exposed to Too Much cadmium

they’re going to notice a yellowing of

the skin and this is not jaundice and

sometimes a tanning of your skin when

you actually have no reason to be tanned

you’re also susceptible to getting skin

cancer if you have too much cadmium

there’s some protection against cadmium

and that is making sure you have enough

zinc in your body zinc is going to be a

Common Thread with all four of these

heavy metals and the best source of zinc

would be red meat shellfish beef liver

but any of the antioxidants will help

and that’s in a lot of raw vegetables

and sprouts and micro greens but also a

remedy called NAC which is a very

powerful antioxidant it’s like a

precursor to glutathione let’s go to

lead lead is in paint or it used to be

in paint it can be in our water supply

it can be in our soils but the distinct

indication that you might have lead

poisoning is a blue line line on your

gums okay in your mouth it’s called a

lead line some of the things that can

protect you against lead is having

enough calcium in the body having enough

iron in the body a remedy called calcium

EDTA which is like a chelator that can

help pull these heavy metals out and

alpha lipoic acid this is obviously in

your dental work I had a lot of amalgam

fillings I had them all removed but it’s

also in fish and thimerosol which is in

certain vaccines now the next heavy

metal would be Mercury but mercury

poisoning can create a grain of the skin

and a very interesting pink color on

your palms of your hands in the soles of

your feet the seafood or fish that are

lowest Mercury include anchovies catfish

clam crab crawfish flounder Herring

oyster sardines scallops also make sure

that you have at least one Brazil nut

every single day that will give you

enough selenium to counter Mercury

toxicity so these are just very distinct

symptoms relating to heavy metal

toxicity now there’s a lot of other

symptoms too but I think it’s just good

to be aware of these four toxic metals

one thing that’s really good for any

type of toxicity especially heavy metal

toxicity is to start drinking distilled

water okay and then adding in the

minerals that you want but distilled

water acts like a vacuum and it can help

pull out these heavy metals but remember

the poison is in the dose so just

because you’re exposed to a little bit

doesn’t mean anything now if you have

not seen my video on distilled water

it’s pretty interesting I put it up
