How to Remove Lead From the Body

Lead occurs naturally in the earth, but human activity, from mining and burning fossil fuels as well as the use of lead in manufacturing has made the occurrence of lead more widespread. Lead is very dangerous to human health, and as much as 10 micrograms in a half cup quantity of blood can prove detrimental. Lead poisoning includes symptoms such as anemia, fatigue, irritability, memory loss and muscular weakness. Severe cases of lead poisoning can do damage to kidneys and the brain, cause seizures, unconsciousness and even death.

Instructions

• 1

  Schedule a blood test with your doctor to establish the severity of your blood-lead content.

• 2

  Make an appointment for a medical chelation (heavy metal removal) program if the blood-lead levels are severe.

• 3

  Consult a holistic medical practitioner with experience in chelation if you want to remove the lead using natural remedies.

• 4

  Take daily doses of cilantro tincture under the supervision of your holistic medical practitioner. Cilantro is also called Chinese parsley, and is the leaves of the coriander plant. Cilantro helps to mobilize lead and heavy metals in the body, making them soluble so the body can excrete them.

• 5

  Take daily doses of wild garlic tincture under the supervision of your holistic medical practitioner. Wild garlic, or bear garlic, oxidizes lead and other heavy metals, such as mercury and cadmium, making them soluble. Wild garlic also binds with the heavy metals to better assist excretion through the bowels.

• 6

  Take daily doses of chlorella tincture or powder under the supervision of your holistic medical practitioner. Chlorella is a micro-algae that binds with lead. Combine chlorella intake with cilantro intake, as the two are very efficient partners at expelling lead from the body.
