Nick HowarthWhen people talk about detox, they usually say the same thing: “I’m overloaded with toxins.” The assumption is that the modern world has simply overwhelmed the body beyond its capacity to cope. But that’s rarely the real issue.
Nick HowarthMost people think of toxicity as something dramatic—industrial accidents, contaminated sites, or extreme exposure. In reality, heavy metal accumulation is far quieter and far more common. It builds slowly, through water, food, air, household products, and modern manufacturing. Over time, metals like mercury, lead, cadmium, and arsenic accumulate in tissues and begin interfering with basic biological processes. This is not detox mythology. It is biochemistry.
