I am toxic with fluoride, mercury aluminum, tin. My body craves arugula and 100% dark chocolate and eat 1-2 whole lemons a day. It has helped greatly in detoxification of my cells, but I still I have 1) insomia, 2) hair loss/thinning, 3) heart arrythmias. Besides these 3 food scources of nutrients, I am also supplementing with natural stabilized cell communicator which only turns on all cell communication upon contact.
