Chemicals and Heavy Metal Toxins
Chemical hazards and toxic substances are a huge risk to our health. There is a wide range of symptoms such as irritation, sensitization, and carcinogenicity, and physical hazards such as flammability, corrosion, and explosibility.
Influencing Factors for Toxicity
There are several things which can influence the degree of poisoning caused by a chemical or heavy metals. The following are a few examples:
- How it enters the body
- Amount or dose entering the body
- Toxicity of the chemical or metal
- Removal from the body
- Biological variation
- etc
Common Vectors for Exposure
Inhaling contaminated air is one of the most common ways to be exposed. Some chemicals can enter through the skin, our biggest organ. Less commonly, chemicals may be swallowed, for example from contaminated food or alike.
Sudden or short term chemical or metal exposures in larger amounts can overwhelm the body. This may happen through:
- Inhalation of high concentrations of chemicals or metals
- Skin contact with certain chemicals or metals
- Injecting chemicals and metals into the body
- Chemical plant spill or alike
- Chemtrails
- etc
Another way is by repeated exposures over a long period of time. This too can cause a massive build up of toxicity leaving the body at dis-ease. The following are a few examples of chronic toxicity:
- Inhalation of certain chemicals and metals over a long period of time
- Inhalation and skin absorption of some chemicals and metals over a long period of time
- Repeated exposure to dusts containing quartz or alike
- Repeated injections of chemicals and metals into the body
- Dental fillings
- Certain foods have higher metal concentrations than others
- Old homes that still contain asbestos and lead paint
- Chemtrails
- etc
What does chemical and heavy metal exposure look like?
- Burns or redness around the mouth and lips
- Burns or redness of the skin
- Rashes\blisters
- Migraines
- Irritability
- Mood swings
- Breath that smells like chemicals, such as gasoline or paint thinner
- Vomiting
- Difficulty breathing
- Drowsiness
- Confusion or other altered mental status
The mainstream medical system runs a lot of invasive tests to determine what someone has been exposed to. They also like to induce vomiting to remove the chemical or metal from the body. You can read about their approach here:

Here at McElwee Natural Health and Healing, we believe in non invasive treatments utilizing a chelator, binder, and sometimes adding a drainage supplement as well. The most basic nutritional supplementation for assisting the body through a gentle chemical and heavy metal detox almost always starts with Standard Process Parotid PMG. The theory behind this is that the parotid gland produces enzymes which enable chemicals and metals to unbind from the cells and tissues they have infiltrated. Due to chronic toxicity, the parotid gland goes into exhaustion and needs the extra support by Parotid PMG. As a companion to Parotid PMG, we recommend a very good binder. Some people also need an additional drainage supplement. The binder will “grab onto” these toxins once they are freed from their cellular attachments and carry them through the body into the intestinal track where they can be safely removed. For some people, its carried out through the skin in the form of rashes, boils, blisters, etc.
