Heavy metals are trace metals with a density at least five times that of water. They are stable elements that cannot be metabolized by the body and get passed up in the food chain to human beings (bio-accumulate). The most common and harmful heavy metals are Aluminum Arsenic Cadmium Copper Lead Mercury and Nickel. There are many more existing heavy metals that are not as prevalent or as harmful as the previously noted elements.

Marmite, which we all eat here in England and which is what makes us English, is a source of vitamin B12, actually a compound containing cobalt. The equivalent, but altogether blander, in Australia is Vegemite. Marmite is available in the USA. Try mixing it with peanut butter. Cobalt is a brittle, hard, transition metal with magnetic properties similar to those of iron. Cobalt is present in meteorites. Ore deposits are found in Zaire, Morocco and Canada.

Precious metals commonly used in electroplating and surface finishing operations include gold, silver, indium, ruthenium, palladium and rhodium. Factors that influence the selection of precious metals are their contact characteristics, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, reflectivity, solderability, color and wear resistance. Silver has an advantage of its relative low cost, but it is susceptible to tarnishing when exposed to sulfur in the atmosphere. See similar questions...

The 25 mg of Alpha-Lipoic Acid in our Liver formula can help eliminate excessive amounts of heavy metals like cadmium, mercury and lead within the body. The body's main filtering organ for detoxification is the liver. When it is healthy and rejuvenated, it will detoxify amazingly well. Milk thistle in the Liver formula is the other detoxification agent. The other ingredients are there to help the liver clean itself. See similar questions...

What nutritionists call “minerals” and farmers call “micro-nutrients,” chemists call “heavy metals” in biosolids. Humans need certain nutrients in various amounts. Our macro-nutrient needs are protein, starches and sugars. We also need small amounts of micro-nutrients: vitamins (A, Bs, C, D, folic acid, etc) and minerals (calcium, magnesium, manganese, iron, zinc, boron, sulfur, molybdenum, copper and even chlorine).

The most important heavy metals are mercury, lead, arsenic, aluminum, and cadmium. These are known to cause the greatest toxicity in humans. Mercury causes brain damage, heart disease, kidney disease, and immune system dysfunction. It may contribute to autism, and is thought to be involved through the administration of mercury-containing vaccines to children. Lead causes brain damage, anemia, cataracts, hypertension, kidney disease, and heart disease. See similar questions...

Liquid zeolite does not remove beneficial minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium and healthy trace minerals from the body. It is all down to the size, shape and electronic configuration of the zeolite cages which have the greatest affinity for heavy metals. The lighter healthy metals like calcium, magnesium and phosphorous, on the other hand, are smaller ions and so their affinity to the zeolite cage is less. See similar questions...
