anemic (heavy metal toxicity?)
-
I have posted here about my health concerns, essentially being stuck in a hypometabolic state despite trying all sorts of things... could this explain everything?

high selenium as well as sulphur foods like cabbage family including broccolli detox antimony. broccoli sprouts would probably be the best-- they are annoying to sprout without getting moldy and they taste horrific, and the proper method to get max sulforaphane content involves freezing and blending, but it will work better than anything else other than chelating drugs.

If you suspect heavy metal toxicity do some research into modified citrus pectin, it is expensive but seems to be a promising therapeutic for safe heavy metal detox.

you can get anemic from the presence of heavy metals in your system. It's because heavy metals can lodge into issues and push out iron from tissues where it does not react with lipids and bacteria. Once iron is pushed out it becomes free iron, and readily reacts and causes bacteria to multiply, and for reactive lipids (PUFA) to carry out chain reactions where ROS is produced.
In such an environment, the body will tend to keep iron stored in ferritin to keep iron from being harmful to the body. But in so doing, the available iron needed to make red blood cells will be lessened as well. This leads towards anemia.

well, I’ve taken selenium and MSM and it didn’t have any effect
