It’s good to look at some basic chemistry and understand why heavy metals, particularly mercury and cadmium
are so dangerous in the body and how they prevent zinc absorption.
- Zinc, is crucial for proper immune and metabolic function, although ionic (unbound) zinc is toxic.
- Cadmium, commonly found in cigarettes, is toxic to both smoker and passive smoker.
-
Mercury, found in amalgam fillings, and sea food has no known use in the body and is even more poisonous.
This simple group of elements, all have +2 electrical charge, and varying atomic weights.
Zinc (Zn 2+) Atomic weight, 65
Cadmium (Cd2+) Atomic weight, 112
Mercury (Hg2+) Atomic weight, 200
“Cadmium and mercury, will attempt to fill the same receptor sites as zinc, their presence will prevent zinc absorption.”
This is like a 65 kg person (zinc) competing with 112 kg (cadmium) and 200kg (mercury) people in a game of musical chairs. This is known as “fight for site” and its not hard to see who is going to win; the 112 and 200 pound bullies, cadmium and mercury. Bullies get the hot seat , they fill up the places where zinc should be, but are unable to do zincs job in initiating immune function and myriad of other metabolic processes.
So where does this leave the essential mineral Zinc?
Just hanging around in an unbound form (ionic) creating an avalanche of free radicals which in turn oxidise.
You need to note that zinc is one of the most important minerals needed by the body. Zinc facilitates in the production of hundreds of enzymes in the body, each of which are responsible for regulating bodily functions.
Copper is another case in point, an essential mineral easily displaced by mercury. High toxic accumulation of copper for example can be the cause of Parkinson’s symptoms , anaemia, allergies, hair loss, appetite disturbance, hyperactivity, low thyroid activity, headaches, skin conditions, constipation, learning disabilities, and/or depression.
If through testing, high levels of ionic zinc or copper are noted , it generally wont be because of an exposure, but because something is blocking the absorption and unbound minerals are building up in the body.
So we can now understand how deficiencies of essential minerals occur, not always because of poor diet , but through high body burden of heavy metals that dont allow for correct absorption.
This is the reason I have such a passion for the use of Activated Liquid Zeolite, we know that it removes from the body the Heavy metals that caused deranged mineral transport in the body.
We don’t need to be concerned about it removing the essential minerals , because not only is it charge specific in what it allows into its molecular “cage”, but it is also size specific and our essential minerals wont bind inside the zeolite.
“Unless we remove the toxins we are only supplementing a poisoned body and that becomes expensive and frustrating.”
So next time you are looking at all the symptoms of a deficiency, instead of rushing to supplement, consider doing a heavy metal detox using Activated Liquid Zeolite first. The down stream benefits of a toxin free body can be enormous.
