Alien Trace Metal Elements in the Body: Changes May Explain Recent Epidemics and Diseases
Journal Title: Advances in Clinical Toxicology - Year 2023, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
It is now well-known that many elements of the periodic table find a way into our bodies and have the potential for disturbing the delicate homeostasis (balance) of body chemistry. Nevertheless, in spite of the volume of research published in this area, only vague suppositions result concerning any involvements and little progress has been made concerning human health or addressing the preponderance of the innumerable epidemics that now are evident. This results from the inability for statistical analyses to be sufficiently precise to pinpoint specific causes. As a result, a simpler analysis is presented herein based on the premise that environmental chemical epidemics can only arise from an increased change. As a result, global diets and lifestyles have been examined in detail to establish items of change. Such a needed criteria in the recent decades poses strict requirements eliminating most candidates. Two areas of rapid growth in life-style changes clearly are evident and involve the diet of fish (sushi) (high methyl mercury) and the increase in medical vaccines (aluminum hydroxide). It is apparent that people now live never knowing whether they are at risk from these due to genetic susceptibilities. This is especially important for women of child-bearing years, where a fetus is always at high toxic risk levels. As a result, the availability of general population testing now is desperately needed especially for the neurotoxins, Hg, Al, As, and Pb, all alien species to the body together with Se that appears to be the body’s natural healthy chelator.
