The Ultimate Detox: Why Medical Medium's Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie Is A Must-Have
In our modern world, exposure to heavy metals is inevitable. From aluminum cans and cooking utensils to pesticides in our food and even through our birth, toxic heavy metals such as mercury, lead, aluminum, nickel, copper and cadmium are quietly accumulating in our bodies. These “old” metals, which nestle deep in our tissues, pose a serious threat to our health and well-being. They can cause oxidation, promote inflammation and damage organs such as our brain, liver and nervous system.
But there’s good news! Mother Nature has powerful solutions. At Medical Medium and Acai Amsterdam, we believe in the transformative power of superfoods. That’s why today we’re sharing the secret to Medical Medium ’s Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie, a recipe that combines five key ingredients that work synergistically to safely flush these harmful metals from your system. And the best part? The base of this smoothie.
Why Heavy Metals Are So Harmful
Heavy metals are not only harmful in themselves; they are also neurotoxins. This means that they disrupt nerve function and can confuse your immune system. They can lead to symptoms such as memory loss, brain fog, fatigue and depression. They also serve as a breeding ground for viruses, bacteria and parasites, which can lead to conditions such as SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) or activate viruses such as Epstein-Barr and shingles, which can cause a variety of symptoms.
It is crucial to eliminate these metals before they cause further damage. Fortunately, it is relatively easy to remove them from our organs if we consume the right foods.
The 5 Star Ingredients for Effective Detoxification
This smoothie contains a unique 'all-star team' of ingredients, many of which are available directly from Acai Amsterdam:
Spirulina (Blue-Green Algae):
This edible blue-green algae pulls heavy metals from your brain, central nervous system, and liver. It also absorbs metals that have been loosened by barley grass juice powder.
Why us?: Discover our high-quality Spirulina powder for maximum potency.
Barley Grass Juice Powder
Prepares the metals for full absorption by the spirulina. This nutritious grass has the ability to pull heavy metals from your spleen, intestinal tract, pancreas, thyroid and reproductive system.
Why Us?: We offer premium Barley Grass Juice Powder, concentrated for optimal absorption.
Coriander:
Reaches deep into hard to reach places and extracts old metals, such as the 'mercury legacy' you may be carrying.
Tip: Use fresh coriander.
Pull heavy metals out of your brain tissue and repair any holes left by oxidation as the metals are removed. It is crucial to use wild blueberries because they have unique phytonutrients with special detoxifying properties that you will not find in cultivated blueberries. In fact, they are the most powerful food for stopping or reversing Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Why Us?: Find our Canadian Wild Blueberries frozen or powdered, straight from nature.
Atlantic Dulse (Seaweed):
This edible seaweed binds to lead, aluminum, copper, cadmium, nickel, and mercury. Unlike other seaweeds, Atlantic dulse is a powerful mercury removal force all by itself. It goes deep into the digestive tract, seeks out mercury, binds to it, and never lets it go until it leaves the body. It acts as an “emergency backup” that ensures that any metals that reach the colon are actually expelled.
Why Us: Discover our Atlantic Dulse flakes or whole leaves for this essential step in the detox process.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Detox Smoothie
Can I drink this while pregnant or breastfeeding? Yes, this smoothie is safe to drink during pregnancy and breastfeeding, for both mother and baby.
What if I can't eat bananas? Mango or papaya are good alternatives.
Is it safe for children? Yes, this smoothie is safe and healthy for children. You can adjust the amounts to your liking.
Why are wild blueberries essential? Cultivated blueberries do not have the ability to bind and remove heavy metals like wild blueberries. Wild blueberries have developed unique strength, resilience and adaptability through thousands of years of adaptation.
I don’t like the taste of cilantro. What now? If you experience a strong, sharp taste from cilantro, it could mean that your body is high in oxidizing heavy metals. The phytochemicals in cilantro bind directly to these toxins. Start with a small amount and gradually increase; the taste will mellow as your body detoxifies.
Should I use all 5 ingredients? For the most optimal results, it is recommended that you use all five ingredients. However, you will still experience benefits with 3 or 4 of the main ingredients.
