What the heck are some of these things???
- Frozen organic wild blueberries – we know that blueberries have great benefits such as antioxidant effects, but what’s the difference between the usual ones and the wild ones? Wild blueberries have TWICE the antioxidant benefits! Wild blueberries also help to draw out heavy metals out of the brain tissue, healing and repairing gaps created by oxidation when the heavy metals are removed. The potent antioxidants in wild blueberries help reverse any oxidative damage left behind by the heavy metal removal.
- Barley grass juice powder: Has the ability to draw heavy metals out of your spleen, intestinal tract, pancreas, thyroid, and reproductive system.
- Spirulina: Draws out heavy metals from your brain, central nervous system and liver, and soaks up heavy metals extracted by barley grass powder.
- Coriander: Goes deep into hard-to-reach places, extracting metals from long ago. Packed with immune-boosting antioxidants and can help to fight infections.
- Dulse flakes: Binds to mercury, lead, aluminium, copper, cadmium and nickel. It goes into deep, hidden places of the digestive tract and gut, seeking out mercury, binding to it, and never releasing it until it leaves the body. It contains high levels omega-3 fatty acids which helps the function of the brain and nervous system.
*If you can’t find the barley grass juice powder on its own, you can usually find it in a super greens mix like the one pictured below.
