🌿 Natural Methods for Detoxing Mercury ☠️ : Part II

We are publishing an important a series on the causes, symptoms, and solutions for a very serious threat to public health: mercury toxicity. 


Mercury detox Garden of Eden

While all of the entire series contains relevant and valuable information, it has been leading up to THIS post in which we will outline a natural detox protocol if you are suffering from mercury toxicity. Woohoo, we're finally here!!!


So you are ready to detox mercury with a natural method?

  1. Have you done your own research? Please take a moment to read through our previous articles and to follow the links we provide here; it is information that could very well save your life or the lives of your loved ones.


If you can check off the whole list, then let's detox some mercury!!



Here is what you need:


1. Hawaiian Spirulina - 2 teaspoons per day



This algae will help pull heavy metals from the liver, brain, and central nervous system. It will also help clean up dropped metals that some other binders can't hold onto for the duration of the trip out of your body.

We suggest Hawaiian derived spirulina for its ability to prevent potential contamination issues. We recommend this brand, as it is one we have used with great success, but we always recommend you do your own research!




2. Organic or home grown Cilantro - one cup per day



As mentioned in our last post, cilantro is one of those amazing herbs that pulls heavy metals from deep stored places in your body, much of which you may have had your entire life. 


Cilantro is wonderful at chelating metals & pulling them out, but it is not the strongest binder to carry them all the way out of the body. 



3. Barley grass juice powder - 1 or 2 teaspoons each day



This beautiful plant does all kinds of wonderful things, but it is potentially the least talked about in the detox world! 


First, it works great in conjunction with spirulina to pick up as much mercury as possible. Second, pulls heavy metals from the spleen, pancreas, thyroid, reproductive system (something to check out if you are having trouble conceiving), and the intestinal tract (hello, nutritional deficiencies!!). Another little know fact about BGJP is there have been studies done showing it can even pull toxins from around a fetus while still in utero! 


Detoxing is not really recommended if you are pregnant, but if you are going to do anything, please make sure to add this to your regiment. 


Again we recommend a brand we have used with great success, but we always recommend you do your own research! You have to make sure you buy a quality brand of BGJP, because if it is farmed from a less than ideal source, you may get one that contains mold or other fungus. This is not beneficial to your health for detoxing or otherwise.




4. Wild blueberries - 1 or 2 cups per day



This is very important for people who have had amalgam fillings (sometimes called "silver" fillings) in their mouths, which are 50% mercury by weight. 


Wild blueberries will not only pull mercury from brain tissue, but it also repairs and heals gaps in tissue caused by oxidation when the heavy metals start coming out. Cultivated blueberries just don't possess the same metal drawing abilities as wild ones. 


Some people might think that organic blueberries are better than wild; keep in mind that wild grown blueberries should be naturally grown without pesticides anyway! This used to be much harder to come by, but now you should be able to find brands such as Wyman's wild blueberries in the freezer section of most stores. If you have the ability to harvest them fresh yourself from a source you trust, that is the best option!



5. Chlorella tablets or powder - 5 to 30 tablets a day (or equivalent in powder form)



Chlorella has long been known to pull and bind heavy metals in the body from many areas, but it often gets a bad rap for its ability to detox for a few reasons. 


First, it is true that chlorella is a weak binder and often won't hold the metals through the entire process of fecal elimination...unless you happen to have a SUPER clean system and are pooping 3 or 4 times a day, but this is not the case for many people, especially those sick with mercury poisoning.  


Second, because of this nonpermanent binding ability, you have to make sure you are getting the CLEANEST version of chlorella possible. Many people buy a "natural, organic" brand of chlorella without researching and they get much sicker when they start to take it. This is because redistribution is at play, not only for the mercury it picks up in your body but also what you could be getting from the chlorella itself if it grew in a mercury contaminated water source. 


So far, there is only one brand we recommend because it is the only one we have found grown in a sterile lab, far from contaminated water. It is non-GMO and is still a natural product.

6. Atlantic Dulse - 1 or 2 tablespoons a day



Dulse is the pièce de résistance for metal detoxing! You can get it in flakes or whole leaf. 


Dulse is a seaweed that not only binds to mercury but also aluminum, copper, lead, cadmium and nickel! It is wonderful at pulling and binding to mercury all on its own. It will primarily pull metals from the digestive tract and stomach. 


What makes Atlantic dulse so special is that it is the only substance we have been able to find that will NOT release metals once they are collected, so it also mops up after some of the weaker binders listed above. DO NOT leave this out of your detoxing regiment!



We have a great recipe for a DETOX SMOOTHIE to enjoy every day:


Ingredients:

  • 1-2 cups of organic mixed berries; raspberries (which help also kill candida and mold), blackberries, etc.

  • 2 cups wild blueberries 

  • 1 cup cilantro 

  • 1 cup orange juice (optional for extra vitamin C)

  • 1 tsp barley grass juice powder 

  • 1 tsp spirulina 

  • 1 small handful of Atlantic dulse 

  • Optional: water to blend 


Directions: 

  • Blend all ingredients until smooth. Add water to desired consistency.


Notes: 

  • Chlorella can be taken separately as tablets or blended in as powder.

  • If you are having too many side effects from detox and/or feel it is too much for your body to handle, then cut the ratios of each item in your smoothie and try again.


Please keep in mind this is not a comprehensive list of all of things you can use to detox naturally! We talked before about adding things such as Nascent Iodine to your daily regimen or natural substances like diatomaceous earth to help clean out the digestive tract. There are people who take very large doses of vitamin C as part of detoxing therapy, and many other things. These are substances we have had great success with, and can recommend based on research and experience.


In our next post, we will wrap out our topic of detox by addressing a few more things that you can add to this natural detox to help speed up the process of healing as well. Stay tuned!



We hope this will inspire you to do additional research and work towards the best possible health for yourself!
