Possibile causes:
Natural contamination:
Acid rain causes the release of aluminum from the earth and ends up in our nourishment
- Drinking water
- Mushrooms, oranges, tangerines, wine
- Beer, black tea
|
Synthetic contamination:
Aluminum is found in:
- Baking powder, baking goods
- Processed cheese
- Mixed pickles, vegetable preserves
- Anti-lump substance in coffee, salt and
- Powdered substances
|
Medicine:
- Antiacids
- Painkillers
- Certain medicines for diarrhea
- Aluminum acetate
|
Bodycare products:
|
Industrial emissions
(at risk are workers and householders):
- Producers of aluminium, Bauxit-Mountain works
- Producers of glass and porcelain
- Producers of explosives
- Textile industry
- Producers of synthetic leather, paper industry
|
Contamination of food:
- Preserving and cooking food in aluminum pots or foil
- Aluminum covered cups
|
Possible consequences:
- Anaemia, disorder of iron metabolism
- Ataxia
- Flatulences
- Colitis, ulcerative
- Depression
- Duodenal ulcers
- Diarrhea
- Encephalopathy
- Fractures, seizures
- Memory loss
- Skin lesions
- Heart illness (emptying of magnesium in the heart muscle)
- Hyperactivity
- Immune disorders
- Syndrome of calcium loss
- Colics
- Coordination disorders
- ALS
|
- Learning disability
- Lung fibrosis (breathing aluminium )
- Symptoms of lack of magnesium
- Myopathies
- Parathyroid disorders
- Nervousness
- Neurological symptoms
- Kidney-bladder sicknesses
- Osteoporosis, osteomalacia
- Change of personality
- Psychotic conditions
- Rheuma
- Swallow disorders
- Sight disorders
- Disorder of the chromium, zinc and silicon
- Speech disorders
- Tinnitus
- Constipation
|
Measures:
- Removal of the source
- Calcium and magnesium,Vitamin B6 (represses aluminum)
- Roughage-rich nourishment (avoids reabsorption of aluminum)
- Alkalinizer to regulate the acid-basic-metabolism (aluminum is absorbed in an acid environment)
