The body has need for approximately 70 friendly trace element heavy metals, but there are another 12 poisonous heavy metals, such as lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, nicked, etc. that act as poisonous interference to the enzyme system and metabolism of the body. No matter how many good heath supplements or procedures one takes heavy metal overload will be a detriment to the natural healing functions of the body. Heavy metals are taken into the body via inhalation, ingestion and skin absorption. Human exposure to heavy metals has risen dramatically in the last 30 years as a result of an exponential increase in the use of heavy metal in industrial processes and products. This paper focuses on exposure and toxicity of the two heavy metals such as mercury and arsenic on the Agency for toxic substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) list.
