What is happening to mankind? We are witnessing an epidemic of chronic diseases, an unprecedented trend to self- destruction, low birth rates, decreasing intelligence and an attempted de-facto auto-genocide, the first of its kind in human history. Men have less than half the testosterone their grandfathers used to have, a bio- chemical half-castration in 50 years, and they act accordingly. The same trend is observed for estrogen in women. How did we get so sick and tired, infertile, angry and stupid? Only within decades? It turns out within the abundance of toxins and endocrine disrupting chemicals, toxic (heavy) metals or toxic elements play a decisive role in all of these processes. This is what most doctors will not tell you, presumably because they don't know it themselves: - Poisoning with toxic metals can mimic any psychiatric or physical disease or contribute to it. - Multiple metals in the body have a synergistic damaging effect: two different metals are usually much more harmful than the individual metals. But only single metal exposures are considered in government regulations. - Toxic metals last forever, and in the human body, it can take decades to excrete them without proper therapy. - Of the thousands of toxins, metals are those for which we have proven methods to extract them from the body. Toxic metals also show dangerous interactions with electromagnetic radiation, with parasites, microplastics, nanoparticles and so-called "forever-chemicals"; the metals can worsen the effects of these disrupting influences. 60% of Americans live with at least one chronic disease, like heart disease and stroke, cancer or diabetes. The Harvard Social Impact Review says: "88% of Americans adults] are metabolically unhealthy." Did you know that 18 % of deaths of "all causes" in the US are attributed to lead toxicity? And these are only the cases attributed to lead, not including the other 40+ toxic metals with potential long-term chronic health effects. Every third child globally, and every second adult in the USA are poisoned with lead by CDC reference levels. Those born between 1951 and 1980 endured an average lead-linked intelligence deficit of around 6 IQ points. It is estimated that 8 to 10% of American women have mercury levels that would induce neurological disorders in any child they gave birth to, according to the EPA. After millions of tons of lead and other toxic metals have been dispersed into the environment, it is surprising to find how little of a toxic element is needed to cause lifelong problems. Only 70 micrograms of lead (less than the smallest speck of dust that you can see with the naked eye) more lead in the blood of a young adult is associated with 2.3 times the odds of major depressive disorder and 4.9 times the odds of panic disorders. Alarming amounts of toxic metals are now dispersed to the biosphere. For the generation that will come to grips with the gravity of the situation, it will take more than just omitting the release of further toxic metals; rather, it will take an unprecedented effort - possibly the largest human endeavor ever - to decontaminate water, soil and air. In the meantime, individual prevention, testing and professional metal removal from the body is our best bet.This book includes: - A systematic review of psychological disorders and personality traits and their associations with chronic metal toxicity as well as the socio-economic ramifications of these disorders. - Physical diseases condensed to about 200 clinical diagnoses, and their associations with chronic metal burden. - Over 1000 scientific studies are sited that show significant correlations between toxic metal content and almost any known chronic disease (dozens confirm causation). - A systematic overview of all known toxic metals, their clinical outcomes and approved detoxification agents.
