Malcolm Gladwell’s excellent book, The Tipping Point, looks at how trends go viral in society. If there is one area of health where a tipping point is looming it is in the area of heavy metal toxicity. Mercury, lead and aluminum are the main offenders and more and more studies are showing their effect on optimal health, especially pediatric development.

In the field of dentistry, there has been significant controversy over mercury amalgams, but there are many other ways of ingesting heavy metals in the body. Fish, vaccines and environmental exposure have all been fingered as culprits by studies and testing. As coverage of these issues rise, a growing segment of the population are becoming educated as to the sources of metals and their potential impact on their health.

Practitioners often tell us they feel uncomfortable about ‘marketing’ their practice, but effective marketing revolves around identifying needs and providing solutions. With more and more labs ready to give accurate data about toxicity levels, and effective tools available to practitioners for removing metal toxicity (including chelation, herbal medicine and homotoxicology) now is a perfect time for holistic practitioners to become consistently relevant by positioning their practice towards metal detox.

At our next live event in Somerset, NJ on February 13th we will look at ways practitioners can develop their practice to take advantage of this growing trend and how spreading the word about metal toxicity and its effects is beneficial to your practice and society as whole.

We have partnered with Energetix, a BioEnergetic Remedy and education company from Georgia to provide a full day of quality clinical and practical education. Please see the above flyer for details, we look forward to seeing you there!
