The Dangerous Heavy Metal Threat That’s Harming Your Health

You many not have thought of Uranium as a potential toxin previously, but it may be harming your health in a number of ways.

Uranium

Uranium is an element that is weakly radioactive. It is naturally present in your environment and there is research to suggest that low levels of ionizing radiation from the earth emanating are beneficial to your body (and health). The beneficial effects of uranium, called radiation hormesis, include:

• Assists in repairing your DNA
• Stimulates immune function
• Improves sleep
• Has anti-fungal effects

While it is naturally present especially in areas with much granite, it is a non-essential element. If the human body takes in an over-abundance of uranium, much beyond radiation hormesis, it has damaging effects on the kidneys and bones. It can contribute to osteoporosis, and can deposit in your liver, spleen and kidneys. It has been implicated in diabetes, hyperinsulinemia, and obesity. Obviously, the meltdown of a nuclear reactor or a nuclear bomb has catastrophic results on human life.

Depleted Uranium

The waste product of uranium enrichment in nuclear reactors is depleted uranium. It is what is left in huge quantities during the refining or enriching of bomb-grade uranium to make nuclear weapons or reactor fuel. When this substance is inhaled it becomes a huge problem. These minute particles of uranium oxide take up residence in your brain, lungs, and bone marrow, doing damage for years to come.
Applications for Depleted Uranium

Depleted uranium is used by both the civilian and military sectors.

• Counterweights in aircrafts
• Medical radiation shields
• Transportation containers for radioactive materials
• Military defensive armor plates
• Kinetic energy penetrators in hardened artillery shells that penetrate tanks and other heavily armored vehicles and buildings

Upon impact, the depleted uranium ignites, creates fire and explosions. It then results in the deaths of those nearby. It creates airborne oxides, 40 percent of which is left on the battlefield. These microsized particles are then inhales, as well as carried huge distances in the air and begin doing long-term damage. This damage includes:

• Lung cancer
• Reactive airway disease
• Neurological abnormalities
• Birth defects in their offspring
• Degradation of vision
• Lymphoma and other cancers

Treatment for Depleted Uranium (DU)

There are many approaches to treating DU. All of which include elimination, detoxification, and treatment. Some minerals that will help include magnesium, iodine, zinc, and selenium. Infrared and far infrared saunas and exercise are recommended to eliminate toxins. Increasing core energy levels through the use of botanicals and using therapeutic clays to remove positively charged particles are also suggested.

Other treatments that are recommended are:

• Adequate amounts of Vitamin D
• L-glutamine helps repair intestinal damage
• Cysteine and ALA to help improve detoxification
• Chlorella is a heavy metal chelator and radioprotective
• Spirulina which is effective in protecting bones from lead and uranium contamination
• EDTA, DMPS, DMSA
• Eliminate exposure
• Use botanicals such as green tea, curcumin, and Japanese Knotwood
• Eat foods that strengthen the core energetic body systems

Don’t ignore this potential heavy metal threat! Take the above precautions and advice to avoid exposure and damage from this toxin.
