Cadmium Toxicity

About
The body has a heavy concentration of cadmium. This metal is poisonous, and our bodies are not able to expel the metal in large quantities. An excessive amount of cadmium can damage multiple types of body cells.


Notes
  • Chelation may remove poisonous metals from the body. Chelating agitators are made of material that can bond chemically with metals, minerals, or chemical toxins in the body. Chelating would actually surround the metal or mineral ion and expel it from the body via urine or feces.

It is highly important that you take steps to keep your body healthy overall. Below, we will recommend specific herbs/nutrients, but it is critical that you take a good multi vitamin.

We recommend VitaComplete. VitaComplete is a liquid product that you take each day. It contains not only essential vitamins and minerals but also herbs and other nutrients to keep your entire body healthy. You can save $10 on your first order with coupon code "VITACOMPLETE" at Vitabase.


Advice
  • Include zinc in your diet by eating foods like pumpkin seeds. Apple pectin and high-fiber foods are also important.
