What is the best method to detoxify the body from heavy metals like mercury and aluminium? thank you

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Great question if...: ...you have been diagnosed with heavy metal toxicity. If this has not been objectively identified, then don't put you health at risk by taking "detox" agents that you don't really need please.
