Mercury is a naturally occurring heavy metal that is liquid at room temperature—often called "quicksilver." While it exists in the environment, it is one of the most potent neurotoxins known to man.

Unlike essential minerals like calcium or iron, lead is an "imposter." Because of its chemical structure, it can "masquerade" as calcium, allowing it to slip past the body's defenses and settle deep into the bones and brain.

Cadmium is particularly dangerous because its chemical structure is similar to zinc and calcium. This allows it to "trick" the body into absorbing it, where it then proceeds to displace those vital nutrients and cause systemic damage.

Pure water and proper hydration are paramount to your healing success with mineral balancing.
