Heavy metal Nickel toxicity?
It can cause a variety of symptoms including muscle tremors, low blood pressure, muscle tremors, skin problems such as hand eczema, kidney dysfunction, malaise, depression, suicidal thoughts, fears, anger, irritability, stomach aches, low birth weight, headaches, vertigo, nausea, insomnia, heart attack, cough, palpitations, visual disturbances, sweating, and even oral, lung or intestinal cancer.
Where does Nickel toxicity come from?
When I work with clients, my first step is to do a Hair Analysis to look for nutrition deficiencies and heavy metal toxicity. Once we see what we need to detoxify, we begin to rebuild nutrients to give the body energy to detoxify these destructive toxins. There are also links within symptoms that I use to find sources of these harmful agents.
Sources of the contamination may include:
- Working in the manufacturing of steel, batteries, machine or electrical parts, electroplating exposure
- Dental braces or retainers
- Costume jewelry that is nickel plated
- Cigarette smoking
- Vegetable shortening
- Oysters
- Various teas but mainly Red Tea and Rooibos Tea
- Margarine
- Imitation whip cream (cool whip)
- Some chocolates
- Soybeans
- Nuts
- Oatmeal
- Water or soil contamination
- Air pollution from coal/oil-burning power plants
- Cow or human breast milk
- Handling coins excessively (casino or cashier)
- Commercial peanut butter (also mold and toxins)
Some of the sources are hard to avoid but eliminating as many as possible can arm your body to be able to move the stored Nickel out of your kidneys, lungs, liver, heart, testes, spinal cord, and even your brain. It is a source of oxidation or the formation of free radicals. We try to eliminate them with antioxidant foods and products so that cancers don’t have a place to grow as well as slow down our aging process.
At times, other heavy metal toxicities also share symptoms so detoxifying all of them is key to the best quality of health possible. If you have sufficient nutrition and are efficiently detoxing, you can not get ill!
