What mechanisms do heavy metals use in the body for causing diseases and how do they damage the body?
Heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium, lead, and tin affect chemical synaptic transmission in the brain and the peripheral and central nervous system. They also have been found to disrupt brain and cellular calcium levels that significantly affect many body functions: such as: (a) calcium levels in the brain affecting cognitive development and degenerative CNS diseases (b) calcium-dependent neurotransmitter release which results in depressed levels of serotonin, norepinephrine, and acetylcholine. These are related to mood and motivation. (c) cellular calcium-sodium ATP pump processes affecting cellular nutrition and energy production processes. (d) calcium levels in bones causing skeletal osteodystery. Toxic metals have also been found to affect cellular transfer and levels of other important minerals and nutrients that have significant neurological and health effects – such as magnesium, lithium, zinc, iron, Vitamins B-6 & B1-12.
