Aluminum Metal Poisoning

No living creature requires aluminum and yet this metal is found in abundance throughout our world. Aluminum is a heavy metal and it causes damage to almost all types of living tissue. It has a tendency to accumulate in the brain and bones of those who ingest it so these areas are where many of the health difficulties related to aluminum poisoning will make themselves visible.

Aluminum is not healthy for any living creature to ingest. Yet aluminum can be found in the products which we use to prepare our food, the metal cans that contain our food, in our personal care products, and even directly within many of the foods and medicines which we ingest on a daily basis.

Awareness to the dangers of aluminum poisoning has been a very slow process, but thankfully many companies are now realizing the health problems that ingesting aluminum can cause, and are reducing their aluminum usage.

Some common household products which may have contained aluminum in the past or which may still contain aluminum are: Baking powder, food colorings, self rising flour, salt, buffered aspirin, antacid tablets, beverages or foods stored in aluminum cans, cereal products, over the counter and prescription drugs, toothpaste and in particular in tooth whitening products, antiperspirants, cosmetics, body lotions and creams, shampoos and conditioners, lip balms, soaps, sunscreen, and suntan lotions. Salt has not been required to list its ingredients and yet it may contain aluminum.

Always read the label on a product that you are considering for your, or your family's, use to insure that it does not contain aluminum. Aluminum can be listed as alum or as silicoaluminate. The titles used to describe aluminum in the list of ingredients may deceive you into thinking that you have found an aluminum free food, or personal care product, so don't be fooled by how aluminum is listed within the ingredients.

The use of aluminum pots and pans, or the process of cooking and storing your food using aluminum foil, may also increase the amount of aluminum that your body ingests.

Aluminum may also be present in the antiperspirant that you wear. It is a common ingredient in anti-perspirants. This means that aluminum could be being absorbed directly into your body for extended periods of time and on a daily basis. Check the labels on all of your personal care products to insure that they do not contain metals or other ingredients which could be toxic to your health.

Some city water purification systems use aluminum sulfate to clarify the very water that you drink and you may also unknowingly ingest aluminum in this manner. Aluminum contamination can even be found in the air that you breath. Heavy metals poisoning is a very real issue in our modern world.

Aluminum has the ability to pass through the placenta from mother to fetus, so heavy metal poisoning can occur in a child, even before birth occurs.

Make yourself aware of the amount of aluminum that you are exposed to. This aluminum poisoning of the human system is resulting in very serious health issues and many people are unaware that the ill health effects that they are suffering from are actually aluminum poisoning.

Heavy metal poisoning is a very serious issue and not one to be taken lightly.

Reducing the aluminum levels in your body can be done in a number of ways:

1. Reduce the amount of aluminum that you ingest and also reduce your exposure to this element whenever possible.

2. Block the absorption of aluminum with calcium, magnesium or iron.

3. Detoxify your body with a physician prescribed or pharmacist recommended program of 200 to 2400 mg of malic acid combined with 300 to 600 gr of magnesium for a period of four to eight weeks. (Malic acid is found naturally in apples! Maybe the old saying that, an apple a day keeps the doctor away, has some validity to it.)

4. Eat foods that are sulfur rich as these help your body to eliminate aluminum. Some helpful foods are: garlic, cabbage, beans, egg yolks and onions.

Our bodies often need help in ridding themselves of the toxins that we ingest, if you suspect that you may have aluminum poisoning, please give yours the help that it may need.

Always discuss health issues and any alternative treatments you are considering with your physician.

A chronic illness can strike anyone at any age. One day you are normal and the next you wake up to find yourself living in a body that you no longer recognize as your own. You are a new person and the body that you exist in no longer functions as it always had.

The commands that you give your body now go unanswered, you have changed, and there is no stepping back into the past....Chronic illness management: Psychological strategies.

When you participate in pleasurable activities like smiling, laughing, exercising or playing, your brain does an amazing thing and releases a little chemical message known as an endorphin.

These endorphins are feel good messages that have the power to actually remove physical and emotional pain. They travel down the spine, and then throughout your body, sending a feeling of well being as they go. These endorphins not only have the ability to relieve pain but they also have the power to make you feel happy. So remember to take time to play - It really is important.
