Titanium Dioxide is a heavy metal and it does have serious negative health effects. This common heavy metal is all around us on a daily basis so it's no surprise that many people are found to have high levels in their bodies causing serious health problems. Having the ability to affect lung function causes lung diseases such as pleural disease, it can cause chest pain with tightness, breathing difficulties, coughing, and irritation of the skin or eyes, and is considered a carcinogenic cancer-causing heavy metal. The full list of side effects is long and varied.

So the question is what do you do about it?

The most obvious answer, as we are seeing in the news now, is to stop eating processed foods and candies that may contain these harmful toxins but here's the problem:

---> We may have spent years eating processed foods before making changes to our diets. We are all learning and at different stages of changing habits and that's ok! Making changes now will create lifelong change but what do we do to help our bodies heal from previous exposures?

----> Just because we eat clean and healthy doesn't mean we aren't inundated with toxins and heavy metals daily despite our best efforts. We are literally surrounded by them!

----> Our body's toxic burdens may have hit their maximum capacity. Imagine your body is a bucket and each day a few drops of water fall into this bucket. Eventually, the bucket overflows. This is when health challenges begin to become "visible" and unmanageable.

Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna helps to detox and remove these "burdens" from our bodies. When talking about titanium dioxide specifically, we suggest slowly acclimating your body to the detox while moving towards using daily, or every other day in conjunction with using a proper binder. Zeolite is the best binder to use for titanium dioxide removal.

Zeolite is a natural volcanic mineral found in deposits throughout the western half of the United States.

Zeolite is one of the rare minerals that possess a natural negative charge. The combination of the honeycomb structure and net negative charge allows Zeolite to both absorb liquids and adsorb elements based on the strength of the chemical bond. The magnetic attraction an element has to Zeolite is called the CEC value or ability to ion-exchange while the honeycomb structure utilizes a molecular sieve to filter compounds.

Not all Zeolites are the same but we do have Zeolite recommendations. Email us directly at support@therasage.com for information.
