Summary of "Detox from Arsenic, Mercury, Lead, Cadmium with Sweat+Diet - BPT (Buteyko Practitioner Training)"
Key Wellness Strategies and Detox Methods for Heavy Metals (Arsenic, Mercury, Lead, Cadmium)
- Heavy Metals Concerned: Arsenic, mercury, lead, cadmium are common toxic heavy metals causing adverse health effects even at low doses. Radioactive metals like cesium and uranium can also cause pollution.
- Two Major Detox Methods:
- Physical Exercise with Sweat:
- Sweating can remove heavy metals effectively.
- Research shows heavy metals concentration in sweat can be as high or higher than in blood.
- Daily sweating through exercise is recommended.
- Dr. Buteyko suggested sweating 4-5 hours daily (though this is a high target).
- Preference for warmer climates to induce sweating was noted by the presenter after mercury poisoning.
- Dietary Chelation:
- Natural substances called pectin found in fruits help chelate and remove heavy metals.
- High pectin content sources:
- Citrus peels (up to 30% pectin)
- Rose hips (~15%)
- Apples (1-1.5%)
- Carrots (1.4%)
- Apricots, cherries, oranges (variable)
- Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) is a more effective form used in clinical trials.
- MCP supplements are available (e.g., Pectasol in North America, cheaper German versions).
- Dosage and necessity depend on mercury levels; higher toxicity requires targeted MCP use.
- Physical Exercise with Sweat:
- Additional Natural Chelators from Seaweed:
- Alginates, laminarin, and fucoidan (polysaccharides from brown seaweed) have heavy metal chelation properties.
- Medifilan, a freeze-dried extract from brown seaweed (from Russian Far East), is used for detoxification, especially post-radiation exposure (e.g., Chernobyl).
- Chemical Chelators:
- Sources of Mercury Exposure:
- Mainly from fish, especially large predator fish like sharks, tuna, and cod.
- Smaller fish (sardines, salmon, oysters, shrimp) have much lower mercury levels.
- Choosing low-mercury fish is advised.
- Breath Retraining (Buteyko Method) and Heavy Metals:
- Breath retraining is not designed specifically to remove heavy metals.
- However, it helps reduce inflammation caused by mercury toxicity.
- It improves energy levels and motivation for physical exercise, indirectly supporting detox.
- Breath retraining aids organ recovery and may assist in eliminating residual heavy metals.
- Four levels of cleansing reactions occur during breath retraining (to be detailed in practitioner training).
- Personal Experience of Presenter:
- Discovered high mercury levels (10x above normal) via hair analysis in 2019.
- Suffered chronic liver, kidney, digestive, and neurological issues for 20+ years.
- Targeted treatment reduced mercury levels 35 times over 2.5 years.
- Developed a preference for sweating-inducing climates and specific fruits (apples, pears).
- Used both natural and chemical chelators but preferred natural due to side effects.
- Additional Notes:
- Safe removal of dental amalgams containing mercury is important (to be covered in practitioner training).
- Not everyone needs Modified Citrus Pectin; only those with elevated heavy metal levels.
- Dosages and protocols for MCP and other substances will be explained in professional training.
- Laboratory testing for heavy metals is expensive but reliable; hair analysis is one common method.
Summary of Wellness Tips and Detox Methodologies
- Sweat daily through physical exercise to remove heavy metals.
- Incorporate high-pectin fruits and Modified Citrus Pectin supplements for dietary chelation.
- Avoid high-mercury fish; prefer low-mercury seafood.
- Consider natural seaweed-derived polysaccharides for additional detox support.
- Use chemical chelators cautiously due to potential side effects.
- Utilize breath retraining (Buteyko Method) to reduce inflammation and support organ recovery.
- Seek professional guidance for dental amalgam removal and precise detox protocols.
- Monitor heavy metal levels through reliable laboratory testing to tailor detox approach.
