Heavy metals occur naturally in our environment, however, in modern times anthropogneic (man-made) pollution, has introduced high concentrations of heavy metals in our water, food and air supply causing toxic metal accumulation. 

• Heavy Metal Toxicity or Bioaccumulation

Adrenal exhaustion is the term used to describe the state when adrenal glands are exhausted and unable to produce adequate quantities of hormones, primarily the glucocorticoid cortisol, and adrenalin produced in the adrenal medulla.

Geert Vanden Bossche states that the innate immune system is equipped with potent humoral and cellular effectors including, innate antibodies and natural killer cells, that abrogate viral infection, and that these innate cells are a crucial component of the humoral (antibody-mediated) immune system (2).

In previous articles on Geert Vanden Bossche's Voice for Science and Solidarity I described numerous phytochemicals that epigenetically and metabolically reprogramme innate immune cells to create a ‘memory’ of a pathogen, as a priming tool for an improved host response (2).
