In the upcoming days and weeks we’ll share a series in which Almine goes into the different aspects of heavy metals and radiation detoxification. This is a follow-up from her 31st of December, 2012 health symposium address. Some of this information can already be found on our new healers blog. Today, part 1, in which Almine discusses 4 common heavy metal problems…
Facts about Heavy Metals in the Body Almine Answers Questions Regarding Heavy Metal Toxicity:
1. Aluminum:
Common sources of aluminum include aluminum cookware, especially coffee pots, some antacid formulations, and some types of cosmetics-‐especially deodorants. Some colloidal minerals and herbal products may also have aluminum in them. Aluminum cookware is particularly problematic if acidic foods such as anything with a tomato base are cooked in them.
2. Cadmium:
Cadmium toxicity symptoms affect kidney function, heart and cardiovascular tissues, bone, and will cause nervousness in the system, hypertension. Zinc and vitamin E will help to lessen toxicity, but without intervention, it could stay in the human body in excess of 20 years. Cadmium can come from plastics, and synthetic rubber, including old drums from some copy machines. Cadmium ‘Red’ is used in dental acrylics (and dentures) and could be a significant source of exposure for those making dentures or dentists making adjustments (grinding dentures in their office). Cadmium free dentures are now available. The question arises as to whether acrylics used in the mouth are preferable to mercury (amalgam fillings); the answer is a resounding yes. Mercury is the most toxic element known to man. It is inconceivable that it should be used in the mouth.
3. Lead:
Lead is primarily ingested through contaminated food or water, or by children eating substances containing lead, such as lead paint. The degree of absorption of oral lead depends upon the stomach contents (empty stomachs increase uptake), and upon the body’s mineral status. Deficiency of zinc, calcium or iron may increase lead uptake. It is also found in fuels and some Ayurvedic herbs.
4. Mercury:
Mercury is an immunosuppressive. Early signs of excessive mercury include decreased senses of touch, hearing, vision, and taste, metallic taste in the mouth, fatigue, or lack of physical endurance, and increased salivation. Mercury is commonly used in dental amalgams (50% by weight). It should be clearly understood that the removal of amalgam fillings could produce more toxicity in the body than when they were actually put in the mouth. A biological (‘bio’) dentist, familiar with the removal of mercury, while treating the body to excrete the resulting increase in levels of toxicity, should be used. The purification program that we have given should also precede the removal of the amalgam fillings (treatment is recommended prior to, during and after removal of fillings). Prior to amalgam removal, Almine recommends:
1. Renal (kidney) function blood test
2. Use of the 5‐month Pekana homeopathic and diet protocol

Oh that is very helpful Jan. Thanks much.
PS If you are having amalgam fillings removed, it is advised to begin the Heavy Metal and Radiation detox several months prior to, continue during and for at least 1 – 1/2 months after removal. High doses of Vitamin C (ascorbate form to avoid gastric irritation) are also helpful, determine your tolerance by taking high doses and stop just short of diarrhea; extra Vitamin C is excreted in the urine or stool so is not detrimental to health.
Dear Siany,
Thank you for your question, others probably have it as well. The Heavy Metal and Radiation detox can be done by anyone as we all have exposure to it from fillings (mercury – as you state) and in water, air and soil (therefore food). You can read more about detoxing with Pekana homeopathic remedies and there is an order form on the Handbook for Healers.com site, #3 specifies details: http://www.handbookforhealers.com/happy-valentines-day-from-almine/
Note that we our distributor mails directly only within the US, though there are other sources available in Canada and Europe for those living in those areas.
Dearest Jan – thank you for joining the conversation with all these wonderful answers. I really appreciate it xxxx
whoopsie – forgive my rudeness – I meant to add a thanks also to Niels for stewarding the queries so diligently xx
Dear Niels – would the Pekana method help even if there are no immediate plans to have fillings removed – or should this be used only if fillings are definitely going to be removed within a certain time frame?
Or is there something else we can do straight away to counterbalance having fillings, even if we don’t know when we may be able to have them removed?
Cheers! xx
Siany, we are going to add extra information in our next post in this series about getting rid of fillings. However, until that time, I do not personally know about the Pekana remedies.
However, we can ask Jan if she can join in on the conversation…
