Hello Cilantro, Goodbye Heavy Metals

Exposure to heavy metals cannot be escaped. They are everywhere: in the foods we eat, in the air we breathe, and even in the consumable products with which we interact. They only way to reduce the amount of heavy metals in your body is to continually get rid of them.

Comments by Dr. Ted Herrmann:

Heavy metals are everywhere. We are continually exposed to heavy metals simply in virtue of living with them. From mercury thermometers to lead-based paints, heavy metals are used to make common items that are used each day by thousands of people worldwide. Often, medical scholars issue warnings about these harmful products only after immense research indicates that they are dangerous.

Heavy Metal Detoxification

Heavy metals accumulate once ingested, making them a serious danger. Tiny amounts of heavy metals, like the mercury in tuna, embed themselves in the body. Over time, the concentration of these metals can lead to the development of disease. Heavy metal detoxification, however, can help you regularly remove heavy metals from your body.

Comments by Dr. Ted Herrmann:

Our Miami Dentist Blog has reviewed in great detail the dangers of heavy metals like mercury. We’ve suggested considering silver amalgam filling removal as a treatment to prevent the development of serious health risks, like auto-immune disease. In this post, we will explore several other ways in which the body can naturally flush these toxins.

These heavy metals, no matter how they enter are body, are toxic and must be removed continually to maintain natural vitality and holistic health.

Comments by Dr. Ted Herrmann:

No matter how healthily we try to live, we will always be exposed to dangerous toxins simply because they surround us. Each day, we come in contact with several different materials that contain poisonous amounts of heavy metals that, when accumulated, may cause serious health problems. These materials may be found in consumer goods, food products, and even dental work.

Amalgam Filling Removal for Expecting Mothers

High-content mercury fillings pose serious health risks, especially for pregnant or nursing mothers. Because mercury travels rapidly through the body, mothers can easily pass the poisonous chemical on to their children, often times without even knowing it.

Comments by Dr. Ted. Herrmann:

As a holistic dental professional, I am concerned with not only the mouths of my patients, but also with the wellness of their bodies overall. Particularly alarming to me is the abundance of silver in the mouths of traditional dental patients. This topic has been explored in great detail through our Miami Holistic Dentistry blog as research on the serious health risks that mercury-rich dental amalgam causes in patients.
