Children’s Detox Guide

Welcome parents,

Today we are going to go over the main components in our detox guide below ⬇️

ADD/ADHD & HEAVY METALS

An epidemic of childhood behavioral disorders is sweeping the globe. Research suggests that heavy metal toxicity may be one of the underlying causes of childhood behavioral disor­ders, including ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, and tics.

It is normal for children to be energetic and occasionally dis­tracted, upset, or argumentative. However, when these be­haviors become disruptive and cause harm to the child or others, a behavioral disorder diagnosis may be made. Recent research indicates that one in six children in the United States is afflicted with developmental and behavioral disorders, in­cluding attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), op­positional defiant disorder, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), anxiety disorder, learning disorders, and conduct disorders.

According to neurology experts Philippe Grandjean and Philip Landrigan in a 2014 report in The Lancet Neurology, "a silent pandemic of neurodevelopment toxicity" is disabling children worldwide and contributing to the meteoric rise of ADHD, ASD, and other behavioral disorders. What is responsi­ble for the rapidly rising rates of behavioral disorders in chil­dren? Research indicates that heavy metal exposure promotes neurodevelopmental toxicity and may be one of the underly­ing causes of childhood behavioral disorders.

Mercury

Childhood exposure to mercury occurs primarily through the consumption of seafood and dental amalgams. Mercury is a potent neurotoxin that directly passes through the blood-brain barrier and accumulates in brain tissue and the spinal cord, disrupting neurological function.

Children are especially susceptible to the harmful effects of mercury, and a growing body of research indicates that mercury exposure is associated with an increased risk of behavioral disorders.

• Prenatal mercury exposure, measured through samples of cord blood is associated with ADHD symptoms in children.

• A systematic review of 44 studies concluded that mercury levels were significantly higher in the whole blood, red blood cells, and brains of autistic subjects compared to controls.

• Mercury content in ambient air is linked to an increased prevalence of autism in children.

• Even low levels of mercury are harmful to the developing brain

and have been associate

Lead

Lead is a pervasive environmental toxin that adversely affects the developing nervous system in children. Children may be exposed to lead through paint chips, dust, and water pipes in homes built prior to 1978, as well as dirt, drinking water, and air pollution.

•In animal studies, prenatal exposure to lead has been found to alter synapses in the brain, impairing neurotransmission and learning be­haviors.

•Children who grew up near the location of a former lead refinery were found to have a higher risk of ADHD.

•Even very low levels of lead have adverse effects on the brain and behavior in children. Blood lead levels less than l.8µg/dl, well below the CDC's recommended threshold of Sug of lead per DL of blood, are associated with an increased risk of ADHD. This suggests that there is no safe limit for lead exposure in children.

Manganese

Manganese is a heavy metal required by the body in small amounts to create antioxidant enzymes for the metabolism of carbo­hydrates and amino acids and promote bone development and wound healing. It can be found in foods such as green leafy vegeta­bles, tea, and legumes. However, manganese toxicity can occur when manganese dust from sources such as chemical manufacturing and welding are inhaled or when high levels of man­ganese are present in drinking water.

•Manganese exposure has been linked to ADHD.

•Children exposed to high levels of manganese through drinking water have been found to experience diminished intellectual function and behavioral problems.

Arsenic

Arsenic has become a common contaminant in soil and groundwater due to its prevalence as a byproduct of industri­al manufacturing processes.

Arsenic is also present at high levels in conventionally raised poultry, which is fed arse­nic-containing drugs, and in rice from India and areas outside of California. Urine arsenic levels have been associated with decreased IQ in children.

Effects on the brain & body:

Heavy metals pass through the blood-brain barrier and accu­mulate in brain tissue. Once in the brain, they harm neurolog­ical function through several mechanisms.

•Heavy metals displace essential minerals such as zinc and iron that are required for neurotransmitter production.

•Heavy metals induce oxidative stress, which reduces neuro­nal plasticity and impairs learning and behavior.

•Aluminum accumulates in the immune cells of the brain. This may provoke an inflammatory immune response that ul­timately affects neurological function and behavior.

Results:

I often get feedback from clients in regards to how they have noticed a decrease in behavioral issues. I have also received numerous testimonials on speech improvement, eating habits improved as well as better focus.

Now is everyone going to have the same gains? Probably not—as everyone's toxicity levels and environmental factors are different but it is a common theme I hear about personally, results are very hopeful.

Once you start to remove those toxins and heavy metal hindrances the body will eliminate parasites as their main food source is toxins and heavy metals.

With our detox approach, Our children can experience greater focus, less oxidative stress which can also help behavioural wise.
