In the world we live in, it is near impossible to avoid exposure to heavy metals in St Cloud FL!

Heavy metals like lead, mercury, arsenic and cadmium can enter the body through various sources such as contaminated food, water, air and exposure to certain products like paints, cosmetics and industrial pollutants.

But Why Are They So Detrimental To Your Health?

1. They compromise your immune system by disrupting its normal function.
   Heavy metals in your system may interfere with the production of immune cells, weaken the body's defenses against pathogens, and promote inflammation, making it harder for the immune system to function optimally. When your body is in this state, you are more susceptible to infections and illnesses.
2. They can have severe effects on the brain.
   They have the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and accumulate in your brain tissue, leading to oxidative stress, inflammation and damage to neurons. This damage can interfere with neurological functions - leading to cognitive impairment, memory problems, mood disorders, neuropathy and in more severe cases, neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's or Alzheimer's.

How Can You Support Your Body's Detoxification Process in St Cloud FL?

We try to help others limit their exposure to heavy metals as much as possible but unfortunately there's no way we can completely reduce our exposure, no matter how hard we try. That's why chiropractic care plays such an important role in helping support our nervous system in eliminating these heavy metals.

By aligning your body's main communication channel (your spine), chiropractic adjustments ensure the brain and body can communicate what they need without any interference. This ensures all your bodily systems are functioning optimally, including your kidneys and liver - two organs that play the most vital role in eliminating toxins from your body!
