e best way to reduce heavy metal toxicity is to avoid exposure. For example, those with mercury toxicity should have their dental amalgam removed (if present) and significantly decrease their consumption of seafood, which may be contaminated with mercury. Or those suffering from cadmium toxicity should avoid using hair dyes. Metal Flush for Heavy Metal Toxicity One product that has proven very successful for removal of all heavy metals is "Metal Flush" by Chi Enterprise. ere are no side effects and it is safe for children. Metal Flush is an oral chelation formula consisting of herbs that remove the heavy metals through the kidneys and stimulate increased secretion of bile from the liver. Furthermore, it increases the binding of methionine – an amino acid found in the liver – to metals in the liver more than thirty times, aiding in the removal of the metal complex through fecal excretion, relieving kidney burden. For those who have kidney problems, take Metal Flush with Asparagus Extract. When Metal Flush removes heavy metals from the system, it first binds to and removes metals in the bloodstream and tissues. en the body tries to establish an equilibrium state. is means that if there are heavy metals that accumulated in the bones or other parts of the body, these metals will eventually move toward the bloodstream in order to even out their concentration. Repeated chelation with Metal Flush will ultimately remove the metals stored in the bloodstream as well as the bones. Metal Flush for Lead Toxicity Lead Toxicity and ADHD in Children e Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that there are over 20 million children in the US today. Among these, 310,000 have enough lead content in their blood to affect their thinking, concentration and learning abilities. Lead is especially harmful to children below 6 years of age. It can cause learning disabilities, stunted growth, behavioral problems and impaired hearing. High levels of exposure can cause kidney damage, anemia and even death. Lead poisoning has also been associated with an increased high school dropout rate as well as juvenile delinquency. It has also been linked to attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). e CDC estimates the prevalence of ADHD among school-aged children to be anywhere between 2% to 18% based on the 2003 National Survey of Children's Health. e exact cause of ADHD is unknown but exposure to environmental factors such as lead has been linked to the development of ADHD in children. In one study, children with serum lead levels between 2.0 – 5.0 µg/ dL had a 4.5-fold higher risk for ADHD. is range is even lower than the 10 µg/dL that the CDC recommends as the threshold for lead poisoning. In the same study, researchers estimate that 21.1% of ADHD cases can be attributed to blood lead levels exceeding 2.0 µg/dL. One of the most common sources of lead that children are exposed to is lead-based paint, usually found in houses built before 1978. In 2000, the Housing and Urban Development allocated approximately $171M for research and help for those who have lead-based paint in their houses. e best way to keep children out of harm's way is for them to avoid exposure. Parents should make sure that their children wash their hands and do not chew on toys (which have lead- based plasticizers). A good vacuum system should also be used when cleaning the house.
