PSA for those living with contaminated/toxic water‼️
Firstly, I am sending you all lots of love/good vibes/prayers, whether this is an everyday situation, or a current crisis. 💓
Secondly, I know not everyone is in the same financial situation or has the same access to stores, transportation, etc, so I’m going to list, (in no particular order), several different options of things you can do to aid in decontaminating water and chelation, (removing heavy metals from the bloodstream). You might know about these things already, but in any case, I thought I’d share for those who might not.
Ps. If anyone wants to translate this post into other languages or add links/information, please feel free!

“Cilantro is just one super-herb that can effectively remove heavy metals (aluminum, mercury, and lead in particular) – in only two weeks. Also, because these metals can damper the immune system, cilantro is also recognized as an immune-booster.”
“If a handful or more of fresh leaves are consumed daily, they can remove mercury and other heavy toxic metals from the body. In particular, coriander seems to be the only chelating agent that can remove these metals from the central nervous system. This makes it useful for people who want to detoxify after the removal of mercury tooth fillings, or to those who have been exposed to high levels of lead in childhood, for example.”
“The sulfur in onions and garlic can also work to eliminate heavy metals. Along with these, things like eggs, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage also have high sulfur content.”
“Glycuronic acid (GA) binds toxins in your liver, and makes them water-soluble. Your kidneys then eliminate these toxins in your urine. People starting to drink kombucha show traces of environmental toxins such as lead and mercury in their urine. Kombucha is an effective remedy for heavy metal poisoning. It is one of the few agents that can cope with the poisonous products of the petroleum industry, including plastics, herbicides, pesticides and resins. It binds to phenols in the liver which are then eliminated. Your intestines or urinary system cannot reabsorb toxins bound by GA. GA is also a building block for connective tissue, cartilage, stomach lining, vitreous humour of the eye and heparin.”

Seaweed has many, many amazing benefits including heavy metal chelation of mercury, cadmium, and lead. (It is best to purchase organic seaweed as to avoid pesticides and fungicides.)
Amino acids are great at removing metals from the body. They can be found in eggs, fish, raw honey, bee pollen, quinoa, soy, seaweed, etc.
Food-Grade Activated Charcoal
“Dr. Al Sears, MD, has his patients use food-grade activated charcoal for general detoxifying; this includes detoxing heavy metals. For heavy metal detoxifying, he recommends a total of 20 grams per day, spaced apart in two to four doses, over a 12 day period.”
“Zeotrex® is an all natural formula used to aid the body in the removal of chemicals and metals. It was developed using proprietary technology to incorporate the chemical and toxic metal cleansing ability of zeolites in combination with powerful cleansing herbs that help the body attract and eliminate chemicals and toxic metals.”
Chemical and Toxic Metal Cleanse Kit
“A chemical and toxic metal cleanse is an all natural process designed to flush, detoxify, and purge the body of harmful chemicals and toxic metals. Most people are exposed to many toxic chemicals and metals on a daily basis. Chemicals and toxic metals are accumulated in the body from exposure to contaminated air, water, food, VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds), beverages and environmental contaminants. Once in the body, chemicals and toxic metals can multiply the production of harmful free radicals (by up to one million times) and may cause deadly chain reactions. They poison the body, impair the function of cells, tissues, and organs, and can ultimately lead to a number of serious health concerns.”
“Ingredients in Metal Magic® nutritionally support your body’s natural ability to cleanse itself of unwanted elements.
May also support your body’s ability to decrease intra-cellular toxins such as nitrogen, nitrates, and ammonia.
A proprietary blend of all organic, ethically wild crafted, and selectively imported herbs.
Provides nutritional support for your body’s ability to correct intra-cellular pH imbalances.”
“Borax (sodium tetraborate hexahydrate or sodium borate) is a naturally-occurring mineral composed of sodium, boron, oxygen and water. It has been used as a remedy for over 4000 years.”
“When dry clay is mixed with water, the plate-like particles of clay open up and create a porous network with a large surface area. The clay acts like a magnet, because the tiny clay particles have a strong negative ionic charge. Most of the toxins in the body happen to be positively charged. So depending on the clay and the toxins, they are quickly and strongly drawn out of the body.”

“A study showed that after starting iodine supplementation, the levels of mercury, cadmium and lead measured in the urine of test subjects increased by several fold after just 24 hours. For aluminium, increased levels in the urine took a month or more to appear. Bromine and fluorine are also excreted at high levels, and may result in cloudy urine for several months and body odour for one or two weeks. Bromine can take up to two years for full removal.”
“Simply by adding chlorella – an intestinal absorbing agent, the retoxificaiton of the system is prohibited. Clinical studies completed recently proved that heavy metal chelation [using cilantro and chlorella] can naturally remove an average of 87% of lead, 91% of mercury, and 74% of aluminum from the body within 42 days.”
