Re: According to some posts, Heavy Metal Toxins/Parasites Go Together...But What if You can't Detox 100% Just Yet? at Parasites Support Forum (Alt Med)

Do both at the same time. Raw garlic kills parasites and also removes heavy metals from the body.

There are studies that show that raw garlic removes heavy metals and this one shows that a garlic extract does too. I stick with the raw garlic myself.

........In addition to the above list of ailments, in my research I found that garlic also shows miraculous properties in treating heavy metal poisoning. Dr. Paavo Airola book The Miracle of Garlic he relates the following regarding heavy metal poisoning and the use of garlic. “ The threat to our health from environmental poisons, and specifically heavy metals, is increasing every day. Lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, and copper poisoning are becoming epidemic. Lead and mercury come mostly from polluted air plus industrial and medical uses, such as lead containing paint and mercury containing amalgam dental fillings. Contaminated fish are also a common source of mercury poisoning. Copper enters our bodies usually from copper water pipes, commonly used in plumbing.”

Not only is heavy metal poisoning a threat to our health it is also difficult to treat. Chelation treatment is the only known medical treatment that is effective in detoxifying the body of heavy metals. Until now, the Japanese study conducted by Drs. Ikezoe and Kitahara, shows that Kyolic a raw garlic extract developed in Japan is effective in protecting the body from the toxic effects of the heavy metal poisoning. Dr. Kitahara and his co-workers, Ikezoe and Yamada, conducted controlled studies on animals and humans. The method of study was observation of release of potassium and hemoglobin by heavy metals from erythrocytes, and destruction of erythrocyte membrane. The conclusion of the study was that garlic preparation prevented the poisoning effects arising form heavy metals and protected the erythrocyte membrane for destruction.

Garlic by itself can be of great assistance in controlling parasites. Garlic has a history of being able to kill parasites and control secondary fungal infections; detoxify and gently stimulate elimination; it also has antioxidant properties to protect against oxidation caused by parasites' toxins.
