In the world we live in, we are outnumbered by heavy metals. They are found in the air, water, food, deodorant, cookware, and even the medication we are given! It isn’t the first exposure, nor the second, nor the third, that typically stands out as the problem, but the buildup over time. Recurring exposure results in our minerals being hijacked, leading to modern disease diagnoses. Learn how heavy metals hijack good minerals, ways to reduce your exposure, and options for cleansing and rebuilding.
