Cancer and Heavy Metals, Unfortunate Bedfellows
Cancer and heavy metals are indeed unfortunte bedfellows. Cancer accounted for 7.9 million deaths (13% of all deaths) in 2007, according to the World Health Organisation. It is estimated that this number will rise to 12 million deaths by 2030. WHO say that “cancer arises from a change in one single cell … which may be caused by external agents or inherited genetic factors”.[1] Scientists and medical professionals have, for many years, been researching the relationship between serious health challenges such as cancer and heavy metals. We will explore this unfortunate relationship and learn how to remove heavy metals and toxins from the body.
What are Heavy Metals?
It is difficult to define the term ‘heavy metal’ as definitions can vary based on density, weight, chemical properties or toxicity (which is the measure of how harmful a substance can be to an organism). However, Life Extension defines heavy metals as “chemical elements with a specific gravity that is at least 5 times the specific gravity of water … including arsenic, 5.7; cadmium, 8.65; iron, 7.9; lead, 11.34; and mercury, 13.546″.[2]
What we do know is that heavy metals of different kinds are found in our ecosystem and that some contribute to devastating health 
challenges. Research has shown that the average person has at least 125 heavy metals in their bodies at any given time and that heavy metals can be transferred from mother to baby. Some of the heavy metals that are known to cause serious health challenges such as cancer as described below.
Lead is a highly toxic metal found in some products that we purchase and also in our environment. While its use has been dramatically reduced, it can still be found in lead based acid batteries or paints, lead contaminated dust and residential soils and possibly in our drinking water through corrosive plumbing materials. Lead, even in small quantities, can be very dangerous to our health resulting in damage to the brain, kidneys, nervous system and red blood cells.
Arsenic is released into the atmosphere from manufacturing processes, rat poisons, fungicides and wood preservatives. Like Lead, Arsenic may also be found in water supplies and seafood. Deposits of Arsenic in the body can affect the blood, kidneys, and central nervous, digestive, and skin systems.
Mercury is produced by mining and other industries and is also released into the atmosphere from volcanic emissions. While its use has been under scrutiny for many years, it is still used in thermometers, thermostats, and dental amalgam. Inhalation of Mercury is the most frequent cause of exposure. Mercury poisoning can lead to nausea, vomitting, diarrhea and severe kidney damage.
Cadmium is, like Mercury, produced by mining and other industries. It can be found in nickel-cadmium batteries, PVC plastics, and paint pigments as well as in agriculture. It may also be found in cigarettes and reservoirs containing shellfish. Exposure to Cadmium can lead to damage of the liver, placenta, kidneys, lungs, brain, and bones.
How do Heavy Metals Contribute to Serious Illness?
The presence of heavy metals in the body may lead to genotoxicity which means that the genetic material of a cell is compromised. Cells affected in this way may become mutated or carcinogenic which may contribute to the development of tumours. When a cell is 
affected in this way, it is unable to accurately replicate itself and spreads mutations of the original cell throughout the body. The presence of mutated cells in the body may increase the risk of cancer. Further to this, research has shown that genotoxins may be passed down to descendants if the sperm and eggs were exposed.[3]
The fundamental metabolic functioning of the body is also challenged through genotoxicity. In particular, by accumulation of heavy metals in the cells and tissues, vital organs are affected including the heart, bone and liver etc. It is also thought that the presence of heavy metals displaces vital nutritional minerals and disturbs enzyme activity which results in metabolic disturbances.[4] Many heavy metal toxins are also fat soluble and settle in fatty parts of the body such as the brain and hormonal glands. This toxic overload can continue for many years and may result in hormonal imbalances, infertility, adrenal gland exhaustion and many serious health conditions.[5]
What Can I Do To Protect Myself?
By virtue of living on the planet, it is impossible to avoid ingesting heavy metals into our bodies, when you consider the myriad sources of toxins in our environment. However, there is one vital, daily habit we can adopot to help fight the ongoing battle of heavy metal toxicity and reduce our risk of contracting a serious illness. That habit is to daily detoxify the body of toxins and heavy metals using Activated Liquid Zeolite. Zeolite captures heavy metals and toxins in a cage like structure and removes them from the body during natural elimination. It is critical in the world today to keep our bodies as toxin free as possible and now that we have a safe, 
scientifically proven product that is easy to use, we can be proactive in regaining and maintaining our health thus reducing the risk of becoming seriously ill.

Most people have no clue how difficult it is to uncover a site with such well written articles. Thanks so much for publishing this. Most of the stuff I find out there is just plain poor. You can bet I will be back for more. Thank you Again.
This is very interesting, I want to find out more for my friend who has just been diagnosed with cancer
Thanks
Sara
This is really interesting, Jeanette! Nice to read such a well-written blog, and it’s made me curious to find out more. I read an online newspaper article recently about a guy who was told to stop eating tinned tuna (or may have been salmon?) in the USA as it had sent his mercury levels sky-high… and he was only eating a tin a day. So certainly sounds like heavy metals are something we need to be alert to.

Hi Janette,
I’m glad I’ve discovered this site. This article is really informative. I have to agree with the whole concept of detoxification of our bodies. Just a point of interest – the ‘new’ light bulbs that we are using in Australia have many reviews re their mercury content, although there is little in the way of information on the actual product packaging.
Thanks for your site, and for doing what you do.
