HOW TO DETOX YOUR BODY FROM LEAD-CONTAMINATED WATER

Lead is a toxic heavy metal that should be avoided at all cost.

Many studies show that heavy metals in the body can increase your risk of Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular disease, behavioral problems,

, Parkinson’s disease, and even epilepsy.

While your body has natural mechanisms in place to detox and flush out lead from the body, it might not be enough.

This is especially true for people living in places currently suffering from water problems:

• ‘Black Sludge’ Pours Out Of Texas Town’s Faucets (source)
• Flint, Michigan, Bureaucrats Could Be Charged With Manslaughter For Mass Poisoning of Population With Toxic Lead (source)
• Chicago’s Got a Lead-Contaminated Drinking Water Problem of Its Own (source)

While paint, dust, and soil are the most common sources of lead, drinking water can contribute 40 to 60 percent of an infant’s lead exposure.

HOW TO FLUSH OUT LEAD NATURALLY

Luckily, there are a few simple ways to help your body get rid of this toxic heavy metal and avoid lead poisoning.

1. Take a Hot Bath With Bentonite Clay

Bentonite clay is a very safe and effective way to remove heavy metals from your skin.

When bentonite clay is mixed with water, it creates a large negatively charged surface area.

Because most heavy metals such as lead have a positive charge, the toxins are naturally drawn towards the clay.

In fact, one of bentonite clay’s unique properties is its capacity to absorb many times its own weight in toxins.

In addition, the warm water from the bath helps open up the pores of your skin, thus facilitating the absorption of heavy metals by the clay.

2. Vitamin C & E

Vitamin C helps protect your body from heavy metals, particularly lead and arsenic which can interfere with important enzyme reactions in the body.

Combined with vitamin C, vitamin E is a powerful agent used for assisting heavy metal detox.

3. Garlic

A study published in the journal Basic & Clinical Pharmacology & Toxicology found something special about garlic: it is a natural detoxifier of lead.

The study participants were given 1.2 milligrams of allicin made from approximately 1,000 mg of garlic extract, three times daily.

After 4 weeks, researchers concluded that garlic can be recommended for the treatment of mild-to-moderate lead poisoning.

4. Cilantro And Chlorella

These two ingredients combined act as chelating agents that bind to heavy metals, which make it easier for the body to flush out the toxin.
