Heavy Metals

The number 1 cause of massive inflammation , toxicity and decreased immune response is Acidity.
Body acidity is caused by poor diet, toxins, heavy metals, electromagnetic pollution, dental infections and negative emotions.
You have to be alkaline for your body to heal.

When you are acidic, you are at greater risk for heavy metal toxicity which in turn causes a downward spiral of free radicals!

Cause #2 of massive inflammation, toxicity and decrease immune response: FREE RADICALS AND EXCITOTOXINS !
Long before a thyroid disorder is diagnosed, the affected individual has typically been exposed to a varied host of heavy metals, toxic chemicals and/or inadequate nutrition which leads to free radicals and excitotoxins.
FREE RADICALS Free Radicals damage the mitochondrial DNA of the cell! This is the POWERHOUSE of the cell so free radicals alter the cell energy level.

What causes of free radical damage?
Poor Diet…
Toxic chemicals…
Heavy metals…

Your body can pick up heavy metals from a variety of sources such as mercury amalgams and nickel dental crowns, aluminum in antiperspirants, deodorants, and packaged foods.
Mercury can be in food because mercury fumigants are used in warehouses that store wheat, fruits and vegetables.
You can even get trace amounts of heavy metals from tap water.

Drinking Water

If you are suffering from ANY thyroid disorder, you need to drink more water! You need to be drinking at least ½ oz. of water per lb.  of body weight. If you weigh 150 lbs., you need to drink at least 75 oz. of good, high quality water per day.

DO NOT drink tap water because it is loaded with chemicals, especially fluoride and chlorine.Your body can pick up heavy metals from a variety of sources including trace amounts of heavy metals from tap water.
Stop consuming liquids like coffee, sodas, “energy” drinks, caffeine, and alcohol because they all dehydrate your body. When you are suffering with a thyroid disorder, dehydration is the LAST thing that you want to do to your body!

 

Fluoride – better not to use a fluoride toothpaste and if the water supply has added fluoride then use filter or bottled water.

Deodorant – aluminium in deodorant is absorbed through skin- keep aluminium deodorant use to a minimum. Use Essential oil based deoderants

When aluminum is bound to excitotoxins glutamate and/or aspartate, it’s entry into your brain is significantly elevated. Once in the brain, aluminum increases iron-­‐induced free radical activity!

Make-up – know what you are putting on your skin

Anti- bacterial liquid hand soaps – chemicals shown to be toxic

 

There are other toxic chemicals besides aluminum in your antiperspirant and deodorants?

Antiperspirants and deodorants also contain parabens which can disrupt hormone balance,
triclosan which is a pesticide, propylene glycol that has been shown to damage he heart, liver and central nervous system and finally, phthalates which are linked to a higher risk of birth defects.
Go to your local health food store and get an all-­‐natural  deodorant.
