Information About Heavy Metal Toxicity |
 Signs
and Symptoms of Metal
and Chemical Toxicity
The two major symptoms of chemical & heavy metal
toxicity are the breakdown
of the immune system and
diseases of the organs and central nervous system.
More Info >>>
The
Most Common Sources of Metal and Chemical Toxicity
The heavy metals that most commonly cause poisoning
are iron, lead,
cadmium, arsenic, mercury, aluminum,
antimony, chromium, cobalt, copper, manganese,
selenium, tin, thallium, and uranium. Toxic
chemicals include formaldehyde, benzene, hexane
toluene.
More Info >>> |
The
Growing Problem of Toxicity
We are presently being exposed to hundreds of thousands
of toxic compounds in the form of inorganic chemicals
and toxic metals.
These substances are everywhere
including the air we breathe.
