Why Heavy Metals Hurt Us?
The problem with heavy metals is their ability to strip electrons from other molecules, i.e. they are dangerous free radicals. Also, they have the power to play king of the hill and take the place of other elements in a cellular structure. Their transorbital electron capabilities is what makes them beneficial in small amounts and dangerous in large amounts. Beyond the small amount of heavy metals needed for certain tissues of our body, excess heavy metals can be very BAD. For some heavy metals, this toxic level can be just above the background concentrations naturally found in nature. Therefore, it is important for us to be informed about our body’s levels of heavy metals and to take protective measures against excessive exposure to heavy metals. Too many heavy metals cause all of the following problems: • Damaged or reduced mental and central nervous function • Lower energy levels • Damage to blood, lungs, kidneys, liver, and other vital organs. • Physical, muscular, and neurological
