I am a Canadian male 66 years old. I worked in the heavy metal industry for 25 years and have been diagnosed with 28X over the limit of arsenic, max on chromium and mercury. I am experiencing mental fogginess and a heaviness in my muscles. I end up in bed a couple of days a week despite being an active man.

hello there!
Thank you for asking, With that much levels of heavy metals for that long at this age is a lethal weapon good enough to fry the vital organs including kidneys brain andd GIT and blood. You need a special monitoring and care to get rid of those with alot of chelation., its not just the matter of mental fogginess. you need alot more than that. Consulting with toxicologist and gastro enterologist and hematologist would be a good start

take care
