Removing Heavy Metals
Heavy metals contamination is a particular concern of mine. Toxic levels of mercury, lead and other heavy metals reduce IQ and cause significanct developmental problems in children. In adults and children, many different medical conditions may occur as a result of toxic heavy metals that may collect in our bodies. There are many ways that we can become affected by mercury, lead, and other heavy metals: ground, water, and air contamination from coal minining and other industrial uses of heavy metals are just a few sources of heavy metal poisoning.
Amalgam dental fillings, with mercury and vaccinations/ immunizations, may also contain toxic levels of thimerosal(mercury) and exaserbate any biological sensitivity our bodies may have to mercury and other heavy metals. Autism, ADD ADHD, and other problems may also be related to heavy metal poisoning in infants and children.
I know that I have short-term memory and social developmental problems; my daughter, who lives with her mother, was diagnosed with Autism and takes anti-psychotic medication daily for the behavioral problems related to Autism. I fear she may have been affected by mercury poisoning, after she was given a vaccination. When we took her home she and she began to have serious behavioral and developmental problems after her
vaccination when she was only 2 months old. We took her back to her pediatrician but he said not to worry about it. Years later and numerous behavioral and developmental problems later, her doctor has prescribed medications that are often used to treat psychotic patients. I think heavy metal poisoning and her medicine might have long-term health affects, unless I can figure a way to overcome her symptoms: Extreme aversion to loud noises/ Socially under-developed/ Disoriented when put in an unfamiliar situation/ Repetitive Speech/ Cryptic use of Words.
In adults, heavy metal toxicity may lead to numerous health problems. The Chelation forum is a place that clay baths could be discussed but I am not sure if clay baths and chelation treatments should go in the same forum? Chelation is an expensive treatment and may cause more problems to people with mercury fillings than it helps, beacuse of leaching. I have been looking at posts for the last few months and I have come to think that magnetic clay baths may be one of the best ways to clense heavy metals from our bodies.
Andreas and Lapis have both mentioned clay baths as a way to improve our health. Does anyone have any practical experience of taking a magnetic clay bath to help them remove heavy metals from their body? Do you know the best source for magnetic clay? I would like to know much more about clay baths.
The cost of chelation therapy is not affordable to most people, and I think clay baths might be a better use of my financial resources, until I can replace my dental fillings. I am ready to do a clay bath as soon as I find the best source.

MAGNETIC CLAYS are the most effective, all natural, inexpensive way to assist in pulling toxic metals and chemicals out of the body. It utilizes the Earth's natural healing properties; saves hundreds, perhaps thousands of dollars; and can be done in your own home. These synergistically tested formulas show that metals and chemicals assists greatly in the removal of these poisonous toxins by using these unique clay/spice/herb bath detox formulas. These clay baths are safe and effective in releasing metals such as mercury, arsenic, aluminum, cadmium, environmental toxins, chemicals, radiation, lead, etc. when used as directed. Metals and chemicals BLOCK the ABSORPTION of food and supplements, is an underlying causative factor in digestive problems, parasites, leaky-gut syndrome, allergies, depression, memory problems, etc. which then presents a 'body pollution' environment for all kinds of viruses and bacteria to enter in relating to a myriad of diseases.
