It is nearly impossible in our day to completely avoid contact with heavy metals. Whether we are putting toxic metals on our skin, in our mouths, or breathing them in, these toxins are certain to have a negative affect on our health!
Some of these heavy metals are:
- Lead
- Mercury
- Aluminum
- Nickel
- Cadmium
Here are some ways many of us are bombarded with toxic heavy metals:
- Drinking Water
- Vaccinations
- Non-Organic Produce
- Antiseptic Creams
- Pharmaceutical Drugs
- Mercury Dental Fillings {Did you know high levels of mercury are released every time you chew with a tooth that has a mercury dental filling? Choose white fillings instead if a dental filling is needed!}
- Cigarette Smoke
- Paints
- Pesticides, Herbicides, Insecticides
- Air Pollution
- Antiperspirant Deodorant
- Baking Powder {buy aluminum-free}
- Baking With Foil and Aluminum Cookware
- Cosmetics
Is it really that big of a deal to come into contact with heavy metals?
Heavy metals store themselves in our soft tissue and bones, which can wreak havoc on our body!
Below are some of the possible side effects of heavy metal poisoning:
- Abdominal Pain
- Fatigue
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Brain Damage
- Cancer
- Bad Breath
- Vision Damage
- Hearing Loss
- Cerebral Palsy
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Alzheimer’s
- Dermatitis
These possible side effects are not something to take lightly, in my opinion. Is it important to not only avoid products and lifestyles that bring you in contact with toxic metals, it’s also important to cleanse your body on a regular basis.

Bentonite Clay has a strong negative ionic charge, causing it to magnetically grab the metals and toxins in your body and get rid of them.
There are two ways I take Bentonite Clay:
