Prepare to have your health questions answered here on Safe, Effective, Natural Solutions

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,560
with Dr. Todd Binkley, owner of Binkley Healing Center in downtown Ventura.

3
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,560
Now here's Dr. Todd.

4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:19,920
Good afternoon, I'm Dr. Todd Binkley, practitioner of functional medicine and non-force doctor

5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:20,920
of chiropractic.

6
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:26,440
Do you know somebody who has depression or anxiety, attention indefinite disorder, cognitive

7
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:31,920
impairment, dementia, brain fog, dizziness, one of the autoimmune conditions like multiple

8
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:37,920
sclerosis or lupus or Hashimoto's thyroiditis, low thyroid from autoimmunity or rheumatoid

9
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,480
arthritis, one of the inflammatory gut conditions.

10
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:46,160
You know somebody that has weight that they can't get rid of or fatigue that is unexplained.

11
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:51,440
These are all things that can be caused or dramatically aggravated or contributed to

12
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,860
by exposure to toxic heavy metals.

13
00:00:53,860 --> 00:00:57,960
Last week's episode was all about heavy metal toxicity.

14
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,680
This week's episode is a continuation of that.

15
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:07,080
We're going to talk some more about heavy metal toxicity, exposure to and body burden

16
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:12,400
of lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium and uranium.

17
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:17,160
These things are called heavy metals because they weigh more and they persist more in your

18
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:22,840
system than other types of metals, other minerals.

19
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,600
And there is no safe level of these things and we're all exposed to them but we're exposed

20
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,040
to varying amounts of them.

21
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,400
We're not all exposed to the same amount.

22
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:38,200
We all vary in our genetic capacity to flush these things out as we're exposed to them

23
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:45,840
and we all vary in the amount of regular intake of essential nutrients, especially essential

24
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:53,880
minerals like zinc and chromium and iron and magnesium and calcium, etc.

25
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:58,080
Essential minerals that are important for all aspects of our health are also important

26
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,520
for flushing out heavy metals.

27
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:05,880
You need more of certain essential minerals to flush out the bad heavy metals.

28
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:10,600
So if you're not getting them, then you could be exposed to the same amount of lead or mercury

29
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,600
or arsenic as someone right next to you working at the same job with the same toxic exposure,

30
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:20,320
for example, and you get sicker than them because you're not flushing the stuff out

31
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:21,640
as fast as they are.

32
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:24,480
How much water you drink every day can even contribute to that.

33
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,000
So it's a complex thing and that's why we do testing.

34
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Everybody's different.

35
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,920
The only way to know for sure what your body is burdened with is to do a test for heavy

36
00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:36,840
metals, which is either a hair test or a urine test.

37
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:41,120
The lab, the best lab in the country to do that testing, the most reliable that I've

38
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,680
been using for 25 years or so is doctors data.

39
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,000
We either collect a hair sample or urine sample, send it in the lab, and a week to 10 days

40
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,880
we get the results back and find out what is in your system.

41
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,040
What amounts of these things is your body flushing out?

42
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,160
It's a little bit different than a blood test.

43
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:03,360
You can't directly measure the amount of these things in your body like you can measure something

44
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:04,520
in the blood.

45
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:05,520
You can measure them.

46
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,760
They do blood tests for lead and mercury, but they're kind of useless.

47
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:12,440
They're only going to have a significant amount of lead in your bloodstream if you're in one

48
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,240
of those places like Flint, Michigan, where there's just dramatic amounts of it in the

49
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:23,160
water or you're having some kind of acute exposure from being in the military or working

50
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:29,880
in some kind of an industry with heavy exposure, ceramics manufacturer, certain construction

51
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:38,440
materials like tile has a lot of heavy metals like arsenic, cadmium, lead in the glazes

52
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,360
on tiles and sometimes in the ceramics themselves.

53
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,800
So these heavy metals, why are they in all of these things?

54
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,960
Heavy metals make beautiful colors in paint, cadmium red.

55
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,200
I think it's uranium that's in yellow.

56
00:03:53,200 --> 00:04:02,120
I forget which is in which, but really beautiful colors of tile and oil paints for artists.

57
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:07,520
Colorful paints that they paint toys from China, especially are notorious for having

58
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,880
lead in them.

59
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:15,140
And then heavy metals also make glazes and finishes, paints, any kind of material that

60
00:04:15,140 --> 00:04:19,040
you use to finish something, a surface of something.

61
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,080
They make those things harder.

62
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:27,360
They make tiles themselves harder, less likely to crack or break, just like leaded glass

63
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:28,960
was harder.

64
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:34,920
Leaded glass, which you don't want to drink out of, especially any warm liquid out of

65
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,560
because it's more likely to leach the lead out or drink anything acidic like orange juice

66
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,640
or tomato juice out of a leaded glass because it's likely to pull.

67
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:48,200
It is a crystal, so leaded glass isn't a common huge source of exposure to lead, but I'm just

68
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,480
using it to illustrate a point.

69
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:54,840
So industries put these heavy metals in things purposefully on purpose because they make

70
00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:56,360
things harder.

71
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:01,160
So the only way to find out your body burden of these things is to be tested.

72
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,140
So when we test, you get the results back and we do specific things to help you flush

73
00:05:04,140 --> 00:05:07,560
these things out, like chlorella I talked about last week.

74
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:14,120
Anyone can go to nuts.com, which is a website that sells nuts, N-U-T-S dot com.

75
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,720
But nuts.com is great because they have really high quality products that are in vacuum sealed

76
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:22,320
bags, fresh, reasonable prices, a pound of chlorella.

77
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,880
I used to sell chlorella in capsules.

78
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,120
A bottle of 90 or 100 capsules was a little over $20.

79
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:35,000
You can get an entire pound of chlorella powder, top quality powder in a vacuum sealed pack,

80
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,180
stays fresh for $18.

81
00:05:39,180 --> 00:05:44,800
So I encourage anybody who's willing to and interested in as just a general health habit,

82
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,400
who's willing to do a greens juice, if you're already making some kind of protein shake

83
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,440
in the morning and you want to add a little something extra to it, or if you like, if

84
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,400
you've already bought some kind of super greens powder from the health food store, or you

85
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:03,180
like drinking wheat grass shots or any green juice, use chlorella powder instead because

86
00:06:03,180 --> 00:06:08,280
it has all the benefits of any other greens juice, protein, lots of minerals.

87
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:12,400
Chlorella is almost 60% protein by weight.

88
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:13,520
Most forms it varies a little bit.

89
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:14,520
It's always over 50%.

90
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,360
It's usually in the order of 58%, 59% protein.

91
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,160
I've seen some sources test it up to almost 80%.

92
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:26,600
Anyways, there's a lot of protein in it and every mineral known to man, all the minerals

93
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:32,840
that you need, iron, magnesium, potassium, sodium, phosphorus, selenium, chromium.

94
00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:37,240
So all the big five main minerals and all the trace minerals, almost all of them are

95
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,180
in chlorella in abundance.

96
00:06:39,180 --> 00:06:44,640
So it's just a good extra thing to add to your diet, if you like, and ongoingly flush out

97
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:51,020
the inevitable exposure to lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and uranium that we're all

98
00:06:51,020 --> 00:06:52,260
exposed to.

99
00:06:52,260 --> 00:06:53,260
So here's a case.

100
00:06:53,260 --> 00:07:01,000
I had a man with, a 35 year old man with debilitating dizziness, nausea, and some neck pain.

101
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,420
He'd been to the ER five times in the previous four months.

102
00:07:05,420 --> 00:07:12,160
He would wake up and have to sit on the edge of his bed for a half hour, 20 to 30 minutes

103
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,560
to wait for the room to stop spinning.

104
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:18,280
He would get up and feel like he was drunk and he didn't drink at all, ever.

105
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:23,880
And he was eating a pretty good diet, was a fit, healthy man, had a great job.

106
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,960
And I did an extensive case history on him and he insisted that he had not been exposed

107
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:35,400
to any, he couldn't, he wasn't aware of any exposure to chemical toxins.

108
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,680
But I had a pretty good idea for some other things that he said in his case history that

109
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:43,000
he was probably exposed to heavy metals and we tested him for him.

110
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,560
And I also tested him for chemical toxins and mold toxins because he was a mess.

111
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,920
He had MRIs, CAT scans, he'd been to a neurologist.

112
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,160
The neurologist told him to see a psychiatrist.

113
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,920
He really appreciated that.

114
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,240
It was in his head, it was in his brain, but it wasn't a psychological condition.

115
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,440
It was heavy metals in his brain.

116
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:08,080
So your brain is the most sensitive organ to any nutrient deficiency and any toxic exposure.

117
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:13,560
And mercury and lead and aluminum and some other toxic metals are actually stored in

118
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,560
the fat of your brain tissue.

119
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,760
When your body has an acute exposure to any heavy metal or any other toxin, that it can't

120
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:22,880
figure out how to flush out of it.

121
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:27,320
And immediately it will endeavor to flush as much of it out as it can through the kidneys

122
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,920
and the colon, just like it flushes out all other ways.

123
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,240
When you go to the bathroom, you're getting rid of that stuff through the kidneys and

124
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:34,240
the colon.

125
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:39,440
But what your body cannot flush out for whatever reason, the reason that heavy metals are bad,

126
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:40,440
it's usually trace amounts.

127
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:45,600
It's tiny amounts of them that you're exposed to, but your body has a great difficulty flushing

128
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,760
them out through the normal means.

129
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:54,440
And so after they're floating around, creating havoc, irritating your immune system and interfering

130
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,720
with metabolism of other nutrients, burdening your body, your body's smart.

131
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,960
It knows that these things, you need to get this stuff out of your gut and out of your

132
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,880
bloodstream so it shoves them into fat cells.

133
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:10,760
What it cannot get rid of, it's still circulating around in your bloodstream, re-exposing all

134
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,320
of your cells, especially your brain, not good.

135
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:14,320
Your body's smart.

136
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:19,440
It will shove those toxins into fat cells to get them out of circulation.

137
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:26,240
The problem with that is then they stay there, stuck in those fat cells forever.

138
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,400
Long-term small amounts of it come out when you sweat, but a lot of it just gets stuck

139
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,800
there forever and that's the way it doesn't show up on a blood test.

140
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,360
You're only going to see acute exposure.

141
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,440
Anybody who says, oh, I did a blood test.

142
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:38,640
I don't have any heavy metals.

143
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,560
Well, that's ridiculous because they're not in your blood.

144
00:09:41,560 --> 00:09:47,280
The burden that you carry from long-term exposure, which is everyone has long-term exposure,

145
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,280
they're unavoidable in the environment.

146
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:54,280
That only shows up on a hair test or a urine test.

147
00:09:54,280 --> 00:10:00,240
The hair test measures what your body's excreting from fat cells through your skin.

148
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:06,240
The urine test, using a chelating agent, can directly bind to these things that are stored

149
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,120
in fat cells and escort them to the kidneys where they're flushed out and will show up

150
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,120
in the urine.

151
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,280
Once you identify your body burden, then you can take things like chlorella, things like

152
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,640
modified citrospectin, extra nutrients.

153
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:24,320
There are specific combinations of mainly minerals, also some B vitamins that compete

154
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,760
for binding sites and help your body flush out the bad minerals.

155
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,120
For example, iodine competes with uranium.

156
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:39,600
You may have heard after the Fukushima nuclear plant meltdown, there was a scarcity, a shortage,

157
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,800
a run on iodine supplements all over the world.

158
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:52,280
People were buying up iodine because it helps your body flush out and protect your thyroid

159
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,440
and other tissues that have a lot of iodine.

160
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,960
Breast tissue in women has a lot of iodine in it.

161
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:04,520
Taking extra iodine can protect your thyroid and other body, your brain, other tissues,

162
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,480
help reduce your risk of getting cancer from that exposure.

163
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:15,400
It doesn't protect you from radiation, it just protects you from the effects of uranium.

164
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:16,680
There are several other examples that are different.

165
00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:17,920
That's why we do the testing.

166
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:22,520
You may need some extra minerals in addition to eating a healthy diet and taking a good

167
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:23,520
multivitamin.

168
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,880
That's one of the reasons I recommend that everyone take a good multivitamin because

169
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:33,360
the minerals in a good four caps of a day absorbable bioavailable mineral product will

170
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,640
also help your body flush out these metals that we're all exposed to all the time.

171
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,120
So we come up with a strategy to flush those things out and then retest.

172
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:46,520
It usually takes about six months to see a difference on a hair test or urine test, sometimes

173
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:47,520
a year.

174
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,600
It's a slow process and you don't want to flush these things out too fast.

175
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,800
If you've ever heard of somebody doing some kind of a cleanse that they heard about somewhere,

176
00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:00,800
oh, I'm going to do a liver cleanse or I got this powder I'm going to take every day for

177
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,320
a week or 10 days or a month.

178
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:10,120
Sometimes those things are good, but without testing it can be dangerous.

179
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,960
The bottom line is you don't want to put these things are in storage in fat cells.

180
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,200
To remove them, you have to pull them out of the fat cells into your bloodstream where

181
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:23,720
they will expose healthy cells to the damaging effects of those heavy metals until they're

182
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:28,720
eliminated until they're flushed out through the kidneys and the colon, or you can directly

183
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,300
flush them out by sweating.

184
00:12:30,300 --> 00:12:33,760
So anytime you take something that's going to help your body flush out these toxins,

185
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:38,120
you have to remember that it's pulling them out of storage in fat cells where they will

186
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:42,920
enter your bloodstream and be in your bloodstream for hopefully just a few hours.

187
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:47,160
Or if you're doing it incorrectly, then they can persist in your bloodstream for days or

188
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:48,160
longer.

189
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:49,360
That's not good.

190
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,480
And so that's the name of the game is you only want to pull this stuff out as fast as

191
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,040
you can then excrete it.

192
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,680
So you pull it out of fat cells, it's in your little bloodstream for a few hours, a little

193
00:12:57,680 --> 00:13:02,960
bit longer, and then flushed out, eliminated through urine and feces.

194
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,200
So if you try to pull it out too fast, it can make you sick.

195
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:07,200
And you can feel that.

196
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,600
And sometimes we have to adjust doses accordingly when, if and when that happens.

197
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:12,600
So that's why it's a slow process.

198
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:18,840
That's why it takes six months to a year, sometimes two years to totally reduce to a

199
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,360
minimum level your body's exposure to heavy metals.

200
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,560
Usually if we do a hair test, that's a simple test.

201
00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:26,760
It doesn't require a chelating agent.

202
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,640
It's less expensive than doing the urine test, which you always have to do two.

203
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:34,720
You have to get a baseline before you use the chelating agent that pulls them out of

204
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,040
storage and then a second one to compare it to.

205
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:42,040
Anyway, I often do hair tests, hair tests on people to identify it.

206
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:46,280
With that, you always have to do at least three tests inevitably because the goal is

207
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,640
to increase excretion.

208
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,120
So when we do initial tests, we see what's coming out now.

209
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,840
It's usually six months later.

210
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:59,000
Sometimes a year we do another test and we expect to see increased amount of things coming

211
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,000
out.

212
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,200
We've been giving your body extra nutrients so it can flush out whatever's in there.

213
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,200
So we expect to see some of the things on the test result to go up because the test

214
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,960
is measuring what you're excreting, what you're flushing out that's showing up in your hair,

215
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,080
what you're flushing out through the hair follicles and sweat glands in the skin.

216
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,160
And then we do a third test to see, to make sure that it's gone up and then come back

217
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,160
down.

218
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:22,160
So we have to see an amount.

219
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:28,160
It either go down or we need to see what usually happens as it will go up first as it's more

220
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,360
is flushing out and then it will go down.

221
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,200
And then we know we've totally reduced your total body burden.

222
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,760
And if it's gone up and down, but still high, obviously we need to continue sometimes test

223
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:41,920
a fourth time, whatever it takes and whatever time it takes to get the as much flushed out

224
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,560
as possible slowly and safely.

225
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:46,800
I'm Dr. Todd Binkley.

226
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:51,320
You're listening to safe, effective, natural solutions to almost any health challenge.

227
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:52,320
And I love questions.

228
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:53,960
Send me a question.

229
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:58,880
When this show is on the air, if I'm not with a patient, I'll have my email available.

230
00:14:58,880 --> 00:14:59,880
Email me.

231
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:00,880
Some people like to call.

232
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,920
I, you know, you can find my phone number on my website.

233
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:08,320
My website is binkleyhealingcenter.com.

234
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,200
My email is drbinkley at binkleyhealingcenter.com.

235
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:13,480
And you can find my phone number on my website.

236
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,000
I don't give it out because I can't get, I can't answer phone calls quickly.

237
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,000
I want to get back to you as quickly as possible.

238
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:25,160
So the fastest way to get a response from me is to send me an email.

239
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,480
My, or you can send me a text as well.

240
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,160
But yeah, I love to answering questions.

241
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,160
So send me a question anytime.

242
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:32,160
My phone is always off.

243
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:33,760
My phone ringer is always off.

244
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,880
That's why I don't answer the phone when you call me.

245
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,640
But if you want to talk on the phone, just leave a text or an email saying, please call

246
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,980
me and I'd be happy to call you back and chat on the phone as well.

247
00:15:43,980 --> 00:15:44,980
So send your questions in.

248
00:15:44,980 --> 00:15:48,880
Who do you know that has some of these symptoms, who has a weight that they can't get rid of

249
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,840
or unexplained fatigue?

250
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:55,120
So this, this, I started talking about this 35 year old man a little bit while ago, been

251
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,360
to the hospital several times.

252
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,960
Nobody could figure out what was causing his debilitating dizziness.

253
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:06,080
And I did, he had, he even had an MRI done on his brain and it was clear.

254
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:11,160
Well, I did a second MRI with contrast and the MRI with contrast showed that he had a

255
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,840
thickening of the mucosa, the lining of his intestines.

256
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:22,520
I'm sorry, of his sinuses, thickening of the lining of the sinuses, the mucosa of the sinuses

257
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,800
right above the bottom of the, the sinuses right on top of the brain.

258
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,520
So right next to the brain where he's inhaling the part of your brain where the sensors are

259
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:36,920
for the sense of smell, the nerve endings for the sense of smell, the tissue around

260
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:37,920
that was thickened.

261
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,480
Well, the only thing that causes that is inhaling something that irritates that tissue over

262
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:42,480
and over and over again.

263
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,760
And chronic exposure to something that's irritating that tissue is what will cause it to become

264
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,080
inflamed and thickened.

265
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:53,760
And so we did some further testing and identified there's this tremendous exposure to chemical

266
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,240
mold and heavy metal toxins.

267
00:16:55,240 --> 00:17:00,680
We put him on a program to help his body flush those things out, including chlorella and

268
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:08,560
a bunch of nutrients and pectinol, some modified citrus pectin and a few other things to help

269
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:14,960
his body heal and repair damaged cells and the inflammation to his brain and flush out

270
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:15,960
the heavy metals.

271
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,840
And, you know, for about month, month and a half, he felt no different.

272
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,680
It was, you know, he had to, I told him, you're going to have to be patient.

273
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,600
You can't get these, you can't just pull these things out instantly.

274
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,000
But after about six weeks, he started to feel a lot better.

275
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,760
He was able to go back to work.

276
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,320
It would take less time for the dizziness to go away.

277
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,840
And after about three months, it was almost gone.

278
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:39,520
He still had a little bit of lingering nausea and his a little bit of problem with some

279
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,440
inflammation in his gut that, you know, about six months later, everything was completely

280
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:44,440
gone.

281
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,120
But, you know, he was he was feeling almost as good as new after about three months.

282
00:17:48,120 --> 00:17:51,880
And that's partly because he was otherwise fit and healthy because he had a lot of exposure

283
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,240
to these toxins.

284
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,760
And it definitely we definitely did not get rid of all the toxins that he needed to get

285
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:57,760
rid of.

286
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,560
He's still working on flushing some of that stuff out.

287
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:05,640
But people have this you everyone listening is has lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium and

288
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:06,760
uranium in your body.

289
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,520
I've never tested anyone who had zero.

290
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:10,520
It just doesn't happen.

291
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:11,520
It's ubiquitous in the environment.

292
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:12,880
We can't avoid it.

293
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:17,160
But if you just reduce the burden, it's when you have a lot of it or when you have an extra

294
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:22,440
amount of it that's getting flushed around in your bloodstream or building up in your

295
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:27,000
brain or some other part of your body that's causing symptoms.

296
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,080
If we just reduce it, you know, an amount.

297
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,080
I don't know what the percentage may be 10, 15, 20 percent.

298
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,160
It's very difficult to quantify that.

299
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,480
But the bottom line is we don't have to fly.

300
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:41,520
You hear me saying, oh, it takes a year or two to completely reduce your body burden

301
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:42,800
to a minimum.

302
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,300
It doesn't take that long to feel better.

303
00:18:45,300 --> 00:18:50,080
When somebody has exposure to these things and we identify a burden of heavy toxic heavy

304
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:55,360
metals on testing, it usually takes two, three months before you start feeling noticeably

305
00:18:55,360 --> 00:18:57,160
better or significantly better.

306
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,800
And, you know, on average, you know, somewhere between three and six months, sometimes a

307
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:05,080
little bit longer to feel basically feel as good as new.

308
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:09,440
It still takes time to ongoingly after that, continuing to take some things to flush out

309
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:16,000
the metals and follow up testing to make sure that you're as clean as you want to be and

310
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,280
need to be.

311
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:23,640
So obesity, people who have unexplained weight gain or who are eating a good diet and exercising

312
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,760
and just can't lose that last 10, 20, 30 pounds is a lot of time.

313
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:33,000
A lot of times the reason for that is because those extra fat cells, wherever they are in

314
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,640
your body, it tends to be the hardest part to shift is usually around the belly, the

315
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,360
abdomen.

316
00:19:38,360 --> 00:19:40,080
That's the worst fat also.

317
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,920
For a whole bunch of reasons, it's a subject of a whole other talk because those fat cells

318
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,960
in your gut are the worst ones because they produce hormones that wreak havoc throughout

319
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,940
your body and affect your brain.

320
00:19:49,940 --> 00:19:55,080
And a lot of times you can't lose that last few pounds because those fat cells are full

321
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:56,640
of heavy metals.

322
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:01,520
And if you test, identify, test to identify those heavy metals and get on a program to

323
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:09,080
flush those heavy metals out, now your body doesn't need those fat cells anymore to store,

324
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,080
to keep them out of circulation.

325
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,900
You get rid of the toxic heavy metals, you don't need those fat cells anymore.

326
00:20:12,900 --> 00:20:14,400
You lose that weight.

327
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,960
I've seen that many, many, many times with people.

328
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:17,960
Fatigue.

329
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,800
Fatigue is never caused by one thing.

330
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,160
It's always caused by a half a dozen things.

331
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,800
But anytime somebody's fatigued for no reason, like they've suddenly just had a comparative

332
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:31,680
lack of energy now compared to two years ago, five years ago, with no explanation.

333
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,120
They didn't do anything different.

334
00:20:33,120 --> 00:20:35,360
They didn't expose themselves to anything.

335
00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:36,800
They haven't been sick.

336
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,760
They just have low energy for no reason.

337
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:44,380
Heavy metals, chemical and mold toxins are always part of the picture with a patient

338
00:20:44,380 --> 00:20:45,560
like that.

339
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,880
Getting those things flushed out makes all the difference.

340
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:52,040
That 35-year-old man I talked about earlier also had significant fatigue.

341
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,760
He just wasn't barely able to do his job.

342
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,240
That all went away after about, you know, went away significantly after about three

343
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,960
months and went away completely after about six months on a program to help flush out

344
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:03,960
the heavy metals.

345
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,440
So one last patient I love talking about.

346
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:10,600
I had a 70-year-old man who was having memory loss.

347
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,280
His wife especially noticed it.

348
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:14,280
And that's very difficult.

349
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,080
I've got several episodes on dementia, Alzheimer's.

350
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:22,480
Look at my podcast feed on Apple Podcasts, Spotify.

351
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,640
My past episodes are on YouTube.

352
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,640
They're on my website, binkleyhealingcenter.com.

353
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:31,680
If you go to any of those places, please like my podcast there and share it with someone.

354
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,400
Leave a comment and tell others.

355
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:35,400
I appreciate that.

356
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,640
Get the message out.

357
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,760
So this 74-year-old man with memory loss, it wasn't terrible and that was the reason

358
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:41,760
it worked.

359
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,240
So he didn't have significant memory loss.

360
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:47,280
You know, he wasn't diagnosed with, he was diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment,

361
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:53,080
which is, you know, early signs of some dementia.

362
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:57,840
And I put him on a high dose of fish oil, some other basic nutrients, and we did testing

363
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,160
for heavy metals.

364
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:04,400
And after he'd been tested for that before, it kind of happened at the same time.

365
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,120
We'd already tested them for heavy metals for other reasons.

366
00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:15,520
And when his wife noticed that the signs of the memory loss were sort of becoming more

367
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:20,800
noticeable, we were already on his second test for metals, flushing more metals out.

368
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,560
More were coming out.

369
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,160
And so we adjusted some of his doses on things and continued.

370
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:32,920
And about six months to a year later, we dramatically proved that his body burden of toxic heavy

371
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:38,760
metals was dramatically lower and his wife noticed a significant difference in his memory

372
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:44,000
loss, his forgetfulness, and the other signs that you always see in a situation like that.

373
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,000
So she was very happy.

374
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:52,080
We dramatically reduced his signs at a late age, which is very difficult to do.

375
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,080
So everybody's different.

376
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,720
It's not a slam dunk.

377
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:59,920
Not everyone who reduces their body burden of heavy metals is going to reverse memory

378
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:01,840
loss, but they might.

379
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,080
That's always something we look for.

380
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,920
If you have it, it's definitely worth doing because it often does help.

381
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,480
I'm Dr. Todd Bankley.

382
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,800
You've been listening to Safe, Effective, Natural Solutions.

383
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:17,600
As a reminder, most of the conditions I talk about on this show are caused by stress and

384
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:24,360
identifiable nutrient deficiencies, identifiable on tests, by insufficient good food, by insufficient

385
00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:27,320
moving of your body, and general neglect.

386
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,680
So if you want to be truly healthy, you have to take responsibility for your own health,

387
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,440
but you do not have to do it on your own.

388
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:34,440
I am here to help.

389
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,040
I'd be honored to help you restore health and longevity.

390
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:38,040
I loved one of yours.

391
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,040
It's having one of these conditions.

392
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,440
Send me your conditions, your questions about various conditions.

393
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:47,640
I love helping people with questions, providing information that you can use to take control

394
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,800
of your health and live long and live well.

395
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:59,000

397
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:06,720
Remember, do something today to be a little healthier than you were yesterday.

398
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:07,920
Go for a walk.

399
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,680
Eat some more fresh festivals.

400
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,880
Call your mother or your brother or your granddaughter or that friend that you haven't spoken to

401
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,120
in years.

402
00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:19,480
When you forgive someone, that is for your benefit, not theirs.

403
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:24,380
It is to reduce your stress, but of course it probably will benefit them as well.

404
00:24:24,380 --> 00:24:25,380
Have an awesome weekend.

405
00:24:25,380 --> 00:24:28,640
I look forward to speaking with you right here next Friday at 4 p.m.
