Or skin issues, eczema, allergies and autoimmune diseases? <br>And did you try several diets, elimination diets, supplements, parasite cleanses etc. and after improvement of your wellbeing for a short period of time, the symptoms were back and everything was the same as before?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let me explain to you where the catch lies\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All the issues I mentioned are only symptoms, not root causes. So, eliminating the symptoms alone won\u2019t change anything.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to understand that parasites are not the enemy, neither are fungi like candida etc. In a healthy gastrointestinal tract live many forms of bacteria, fungi and parasites in a balanced symbiosis. If something brings your gut micro biome out of balance, the amount of fungi or parasites, or both, start to increase as a counter reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parasites for example do not primarily live of the food you eat. They also eat up heavy metals and other toxins in your body. Following, if your levels of heavy metals increase, a response is often increasing numbers of parasites or growth of candida etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A parasite cleanse at this point is useless and might cause more problems since heavy metals and other toxins would be released again in the intestines and the blood stream as soon as parasites die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to address the root cause?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A strong driver of autoimmune disease, chronic inflammation, leaky gut etc. are heavy metals, which we are exposed to in many forms nowadays. <br>Heavy metals leak in our body via <strong>cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, kitchen utensils and cook ware, food packaging, tap water, polluted air we breath etc.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can distinguish between seven factors of stress and chemical stress is one of them. <br>Any form of stress to the body creates imbalances, dis-ease and dis-ease transforms in physical disease.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The first and most important measure is to eliminate the intake of chemicals and substances which cause stress on the body.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The next step is to focus on detoxification and excretion. Depending on the toxin different methods, binders and excretion pathways are suitable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/martinlangenhuizen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Martin-Edited-Correct-Selections-Web-Resolution-12-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2515\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.6669934570874448;width:309px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/martinlangenhuizen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Martin-Edited-Correct-Selections-Web-Resolution-12-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/martinlangenhuizen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Martin-Edited-Correct-Selections-Web-Resolution-12-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/martinlangenhuizen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Martin-Edited-Correct-Selections-Web-Resolution-12-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/martinlangenhuizen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Martin-Edited-Correct-Selections-Web-Resolution-12-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/martinlangenhuizen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Martin-Edited-Correct-Selections-Web-Resolution-12-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/martinlangenhuizen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Martin-Edited-Correct-Selections-Web-Resolution-12.jpg 1334w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/martinlangenhuizen.com\/de\/gallbladder-cleanse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get your free guide for a Gallbladder and liver cleanse HERE!<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HOW TO DETOXIFY HEAVY METALS?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our body has a natural defence mechanism and the liver and bile from the gallbladder do its best to handle toxins and excrete them from the body. But the many factors of stress from our daily life and poor nutrition are overwhelming for the liver and decrease the ability to cope with the toxins. Following a targeted heavy metal detoxification is highly recommended.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this post I want to set the focus on heavy metals and how to detox and excrete them in the right way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heavy metals usually have a comparably strong positive charge which allows them to bind strongly to tissue in our body. Following the fist step is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>To loose the bond between heavy metals and tissue:<\/strong> <br>With the help of ionic foot baths, Chlorine Dioxide Solution, Celery, Chlorella, Spirulina, Parsley, Cilantro etc. it is possible to bring the metals from the tissue back into the lymphatic system, into the bloodstream and towards the excretion pathways like liver, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Binding heavy metals and excrete them from the body:<\/strong><br>As strong binders we can use activated charcoal, bentonite clay, silica-rich minerals like diatomaceous earth etc. But these binders are little to not selective and also bind important nutrients which should stay available for the body. Also, a bound nutrient takes the capacity to bind more heavy metals which is an unwanted side effect.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ZEOLITE &#8211; A SELECTIVE BINDER<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Natural Zeolite, usually Clinoptilolite <strong>(caution: there is also artificial Zeolite made from synthetic minerals made mostly of aluminum, silicon, and oxygen &#8211; not recommended!!!)<\/strong> forms when volcanic ash and lava react with alkaline groundwater over long periods of time. The process slowly creates crystalline minerals with a porous, cage-like structure. The strong negative charge of is structure makes Zeolite an ion exchanger.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The negatively charged framework attracts and binds positively charged ions like found in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lead (Pb\u00b2\u207a)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cadmium (Cd\u00b2\u207a)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aluminum Al\u00b2\u207a, Al\u00b3\u207a<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ammonium (NH\u2084\u207a)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It selectively attaches to heavy metals and ammonium and enables the excretion from the body. But also in the industry Zeolite is a valuable substance and used in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Water purification systems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wastewater treatment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Agriculture (to manage nitrogen in soil)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Industrial filtration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The key mechanism: ion exchange<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike other binders the pores of the Zeolite contain loosely held positive ions like Na\u207a (sodium), K\u207a (potassium) and Ca\u00b2\u207a (calcium). These ions are not fixed, they\u2019re mobile and exchangeable. Zeolite doesn\u2019t bind to everything equally. Its selectivity depends on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Electrical charge: higher-charged ions bind more strongly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Local concentration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hydration energy (ions surrounded by water molecules): depending on the hydration energy minerals are more or less likely to by exchanged. Essential minerals like Magnesium (Mg\u00b2\u207a) have a strong hydration energy and are less likely to be captured by Zeolite.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ionic size and fit: the pores act like molecular sieves. Only ions of certain sizes can enter the framework of Zeolite. Some ions are:<br>too small \u2192 weakly held<br>too large \u2192 can&#8217;t enter<br>Good \u201cfit\u201d = stronger binding<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking into account all this information, Zeolite seems to be a good choice to detox heavy metals effectively while providing the body with other valuable minerals. Of course there is no black and white and Zeolite might also bind to essential minerals but only if they are available in high concentration and no other damaging substances with stronger electrical charge are available.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following it is advisable to use Zeolite for a certain period of time to detox heavy metals and ammonium and then take a break form it. Otherwise the levels of heavy metals decrease and Zeolite with start to increasingly bind to essential minerals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HOW TO CONSUME ZEOLITE?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Zeolite is available as light grey, nearly odourless powder in food grade quality. Even though it is a selective exchanger, it is recommended to consume Zeolite apart from meals during the day or best first thing in the morning. Zeolite can be easily mixed in water. Have a tea spoon of Zeolite with 300 ml of water and drink it on empty stomach. The dosage depends on the type of powder you have, either micro-sized or nano-sized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When doing a Zeolite detox program, it is recommended to include nutrients like celery, string nettle and cilantro in high amounts to support the release of heavy metals from the tissue. Furthermore take ionic foot baths or Chlorine Dioxide Solution (CDS) and get physically active to start sweating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please feel free to reach out to me if you are interested in CDS or doing a guided detox program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much love and appreciation for your time to read this article.<br>Martin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zeolite &#8211; a selective tool to detox the gastrointestinal tract and heal the body Did you do the work and nothing helps?
