Heavy metal poisoning is a fairly new topic. Doctors interested in complementary medicine state that the purification of the human body from heavy metals, in other words, the "detoxification business" will be the field of medicine of the future.
Heavy metals are elements such as lead, mercury, silver, cadmium, gold, cobalt, tin. All heavy metals are taken into the human body in different ways (food, drinking water, dental fillings, environmental pollution, gases, etc.). Most of the heavy metals cannot be eliminated by the body's normal excretion pathways (kidney, liver, intestine, lung, skin) without special support. The most toxic heavy metals are lead, cadmium, mercury and nickel. Mercury poisoning is the most common heavy metal poisoning. Mercury and heavy metal poisoning caused by amalgam type fillings used in dentistry is one of the most common heavy metal poisonings. However, removing and removing amalgam-type fillings does not mean that the body is free of mercury on its own. Amalgam contains 50% mercury in its structure. The rest of the amalgam contains heavy metals such as tin, copper and silver, which are also very poisonous. Since amalgam is a cheap and easy to work material, its use as a filling material in dentistry is very common. Heavy metals in the structure of amalgam-type fillings can pass into the body as ionized through intense chewing and galvanic currents created by especially sour and hot foods. Amalgam has a very special place among heavy metal sources. The mercury it contains occupies a special position among heavy metals. Mercury accumulates in our body, especially in the bone marrow, causing toxic effects. However, when dentists are applied to get rid of these harmful effects of amalgam-type fillings, this time dentists should pay great attention during the removal of these fillings. Because while the filling is removed, the mercury in the amalgam can be easily inhaled and settled in the body. We know that the half-life of inhaled mercury in the body is 18 years.
This situation poses a serious risk for the dentist as well as the patient. Failure to detect heavy metals in the blood by classical methods does not mean that there is no heavy metal storage in the body. Heavy metals, which can settle in almost every cell of the body, become detectable in the blood only when they are mobilized from their location, especially when they are taken out of the cell inside the cell. However, all intracellular and extracellular minerals and heavy metals in the body can be measured with a method called So-Check, which has been developed in recent years and is also used in our clinic. With the phased herbal detox system we use in our clinic, we first detox the blood and then provide the tissue detox. Finally, by detoxing at the cellular level, we remove all heavy metals and toxins from the body by activating the detox organs. Each of the heavy metals accumulates in different tissues and organs in the body, and after exceeding certain values, they can cause diseases that are reflected in the clinic according to the organ they are found in. For example, Cadmium can accumulate in the kidneys and cause hypertension, and aluminum can accumulate in the brain and cause Parkinson's-like tremors.
HEAVY METALS POISONING OUR BODY
1-Lead
Traffic pollution, oil, cigarettes, hair dyes, and battery production pass into the body. It harms the nervous system, mental and bone health.
2-Cadmium
It enters the body with canned food, cigarette smoke, detergents, newly bought carpets and agricultural fertilizers. It damages the kidney, nervous system, bones and respiratory system. It raises the tension.
3-Aluminum
Some toothpastes, food storage containers, stomach antacids, cigarette filters, some salts and cheeses, sweat-proof deodorants contain harmful aluminum. There is an increase in memory disorders and signs of Alzheimer's disease.
4-Mercury
Some dyes enter the body through amalgam found in canned tuna and dental fillings. It impairs kidney, liver and especially brain functions.
5-Copper
This metal, which enters the body through copper water pipes, reduces the amount of beneficial elements to the body such as iron and zinc.
6-Fluoride
Toothpastes, mouthwashes, Teflon pans and water with high fluorine content are the sources of this. It has been shown to play an important role in tooth stains and bone weakness.
7-Arsenic
It is found in some wines and beers, salts and dyes. It has adverse effects on the liver, kidney and respiratory system.
