Introduction and description
The term heavy metal has no absolute definition. It is used loosely in a number of contexts to enable people to talk about subsets of elements that exhibit metallic properties.
Many different definitions have been proposed—some based on density, some on atomic number or atomic weight, and some on chemical properties or toxicity. The term heavy metal has been called a "misinterpretation" in an IUPAC technical report due to the contradictory definitions and its lack of a "coherent scientific basis". There is an alternative term toxic metal, for which no consensus of exact definition exists either.
Again, depending on context, heavy metal can include elements lighter than carbon and can exclude some of the heaviest metals.
For my purposes I define it as any metal that through poisoning or its toxic nature has provided people with a spiritual experience.
There are some metals that are essential to us in varying amounts that at larger amounts become poisonous – these include:
On this website I have categorised any excess or deficiency of these metals as an imbalance rather than straightforward poisoning, because generally it is an imbalance that is causing the problem.
There are also yet other heavy metals that are truly toxic – in other words whatever the amount in our bodies they can cause damage and the body has no use for them, these include
Vanadium is an essential trace element when ingested, but is toxic if inhaled and as it is used extensively industrially, its presence in polluted air is possible
For human beings, but not necessarily other animals, there are some extra metals that are believed to be toxic, these include Tungsten.
What is interesting about this area is that scientists are discovering that potency is key. In effect, they are rediscovering homeopathy. Even apparently toxic metals have turned out to be poisons not toxins. It appears, for example, that arsenic and cyanide in tiny tiny trace amounts has its uses, as it feeds the bacteria in our intestines - our so called friendly flora, even though in higher concentrations it is deadly.
Symptoms of poisoning or toxic ingestion
Heavy metal toxicity or poisoning can result in damaged or reduced mental and central nervous function, lower energy levels, and damage to blood composition.
It can over time destroy the lungs, kidneys, liver, stomach, heart, pancreas, skin, eyes, and other vital organs.
Brain damage is caused by heavy metals and because the metal can affect the growing foetus, autism and all the varied forms of birth defects can be caused by heavy metals.
In effect, it can be a cause of just about every disease we know other than those caused by:
- Viruses
- Other Toxins - including Nanoparticles and not forgetting dental amalgam fillings. Smoking and smoke is a toxin in this respect
- Fungal infection
- Pharmaceuticals
- Nutritional deprivation – including Mineral deficiency and vitamin deficiency and Mineral supplements, Vitamin supplements and dietary supplements
- Parasites
- Bacteria
- Physical trauma including Surgery
- Hypoxia
- Stress - in effect the psychological trauma
- Vaccines and Food allergies or other allergies
- Radiation - which may include resonance and the resonation induced by the infrasound from wind farms
And long-term exposure may result in slowly progressing physical, muscular, and neurological degenerative processes, disease like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, muscular dystrophy, and multiple sclerosis.
Allergies are not uncommon, and repeated long-term contact with some metals (or their compounds) cause cancer.
Sources of heavy metals
I have provided separate sections for the truly truly dangerous metals - the toxins - where the sources are described. See
- Lead poisoning – which is not actually poisoning but more correctly lead ‘toxification’ but the phrase is not used so I have made it simpler for people to find by calling it poisoning
- Mercury poisoning – again the same is true, it would be more correctly called mercury toxification
- Cadmium poisoning – again the same is true, it would be more correctly called cadmium toxification
- Silver poisoning
- Aluminium poisoning
- Nickel poisoning - as above
- Titanium dioxide poisoning
- Antimony poisoning
- Thallium poisoning
- Bismuth poisoning
As of writing there was no section on Plutonium because no spiritual experiences existed for it, but in time it may have its own section.
In terms of the other metals the main sources of poisoning or toxification come from
- Mining
- Heavy metal processing – smelting, welding and manufacturing. Electroplating, for example, is the primary source of chromium and cadmium pollution.
- Incineration of waste and waste disposal
- Cremation
- Medical procedures
- Over the counter 'medicines' and 'herbal tonics'
- Preparation of nuclear fuels
- Wear and tear - Cadmium, lead and zinc, for example, are released in tiny particulates as dust from rubber tyres on road surfaces;
- Jewellery and other consumables - which release small quantities of heavy metals the entire time through wear and tear
- Food chain - the small size of the particles released from all the above, allows these toxic metals to rise on the wind to be inhaled, or transported onto topsoil or edible plants. Through precipitation of their compounds or by ion exchange into soils and muds, heavy metal pollutants can localize and lay dormant, which can have severe effects on the environment. Unlike organic pollutants, heavy metals do not decay and thus pose a different kind of challenge for remediation. Plants, mushrooms, or microrganisms are occasionally successfully used to remove some heavy metals such as mercury, but by the same token, these same plants are picking up heavy metal without us realising it.
As Wikipedia says “One of the largest problems associated with the persistence of heavy metals is the potential for bioaccumulation and biomagnification causing heavier exposure for some organisms than is present in the environment alone. Coastal fish (such as the smooth toadfish) and seabirds (such as the Atlantic Puffin) are often monitored for the presence of such contaminants. The fungus Aspergillus niger plays a role in the solubilization of heavy metal sulphides”.
Diagnosis
One way of determining whether you have been subjected to heavy metal poisoning is the MELISA test, the MORA machine has also been used in this context as well. There are simple kits that you can buy from the Internet that will give you a rough idea, but you really need to have a blood test and a proper analysis to get an accurate assessment. I live near a town that makes steel and I know of at least one doctor employed permanently on testing for heavy metals in the blood of steel and metal workers.
Treatment
The ideal would be for us to stop releasing the truly toxic metals into the environment or using them. But the problem is that they are there. Lead can be found in the Arctic and Antarctic, blown there as a pollutant on the wind. Failing this, the only way we can help ourselves, our domestic animals and fellow creatures is by using chelating agents that counteract them.
The entry for these products on the site is still in its infancy, there are literally hundreds of products that can be used to counteract the effects - many of them are minerals such as sulphur, potassium and phosphorus, and on soil plants can be used to help. Bacteria also have a role to play.
Maybe in time we will learn to use them more effectively and curb our exuberance for things toxic or poisonous to both us and the planet.
Background
The entries on the site that deal with metals we and other animals use but which when not in balance cause some very specific illnesses and diseases are as follows:
- Iron imbalance
- Cobalt imbalance
- Copper imbalance
- Magnesium imbalance
- Manganese imbalance
- Molybdenum imbalance
- Chromium imbalance
- Sodium imbalance
- Zinc imbalance
- Vanadium imbalance
The sections which tell you more about the toxic metals and their effects and sources are:
- Lead poisoning
- Mercury poisoning
- Cadmium poisoning
- Silver poisoning
- Titanium poisoning
- Antimony poisoning
- Nickel poisoning
- Aluminium poisoning
- Beryllium poisoning
- Thallium poisoning
- Bismuth poisoning
Aluminium may be a surprise, but after having done the analysis, aluminium can be every bit as toxic under certain circumstances as lead. It also highlights the difficulty of calling these heavy metals. Aluminium is not 'heavy' in the literal sense of the term, thus people assume it is safe. It is not.
We have sections for
Any remaining metals have no separate entry on the site, so all the observations for them can be found here.
How it works
The description I am going to provide here is not a physical one it is a functional one.
You need to have the Model of the Mind open and have read How spiritual experence works.
Any substance that enters our bodies is assessed for whether it is a help or a threat. When any substance enters via whatever route – by mouth, by wounds, by injection, by inhalation, by smoking or snuffing or smearing on our skin as an ointment and thus absorption via the skin, the body’s defence mechanism checks to see what it is and whether it is friend or foe.
At too high a level, at levels where cell destruction can take place and the body itself is at risk, the cells send out a message to the Will via the nervous system which says HELP HELP HELP, THREAT THREAT THREAT we are being attacked we are dying DO SOMETHING.
The Will responds by mobilising its defence systems – immune system, the system of the kidneys and liver which act as filters, the stomach with the acid, the blood filtering system and so on. But at overdose levels the defence systems may be overwhelmed and the messages keep on coming in.
HELP, HELP, HELP, THREAT, THREAT, THREAT, we are being attacked, we are dying DO SOMETHING.
What we perceive to be an autoimmune disease may simply be an indicator of severe attack by an invisible foe.
The Will can do no more from a defensive point of view, but it is able to release messages which help to ease the pain and this it does. Thus we get endorphins, for example, being released, which give pain relief and start to shut down functions we no longer have need of because the energy is better targeted to survival.
The presence of all these neurotransmitters is a sure sign of overdose. We don’t get a spiritual experience via neurotransmitters – neurotransmitters like these are just indicators that the body is trying to ease the pain and suffering from the damage it is experiencing.
At this point we might start to get hallucinations as the non essential functions of Memory and Learning are gradually shut down.
But if the overdose is severe and the messages continue HELP, HELP, HELP, THREAT, THREAT, THREAT, we are being attacked, we are dying DO SOMETHING. the Will takes some very drastic action and mobilises all its energy and defenses into the autonomic system.
Now comes some serious activity when we can go out of body, because the Reasoning system Memory and Learning system have all been shut down and we are in effect on automatic pilot – we have gone AWOL.
Unless the autonomic systems can handle the threat, from this point on we are dying.
Death is thus the termination of the biological functions that sustain a living organism and death by poisoning and toxins can produce some very profound experiences, simply because function elimination is so very complete.
At the stage where death is inevitable what is going on is a form of controlled shut down of practically all the functions of the mind.
The function of the ‘will’ continues to manage the autonomic systems, but consciousness may be transferred from the Personality to the Higher spirit. The person is actually perceiving as the spirit from that point on.
The perception function and the perceptions go with the Higher Spirit, but all functions relating to the body are gradually shut down in a controlled way by the Will. The last function to be extinguished is the will itself and the will does not extinguish itself until, metaphorically speaking, the cord has been cut – the person has crossed the bridge, or the stream, or whatever is metaphorically shown as the divide between life and death.
Once the cord has been cut, the function of will shuts itself off. And you die.
As the perceptions go with the Higher Spirit, the Spirit takes over the process that was formerly the will, the software that controls 'seeing' and 'hearing' have no need to go with the composer because within the spiritual world perception is pure perception unfettered by the software needed to process the input from the 5 senses.
Human emotions stay behind and cease, but the divine emotions suddenly become apparent to the person – they experience – perhaps for the first time what divine love is.
Memory stays with the body and dies. All nervous sensation software/function stays with the body and dies. Reasoning dies, learning dies.
The adapted model is shown below.
You are now an angel.
