A Crack of Light: Tiny Moments of Hope

"Heavy metals aren’t like dust you can just brush off. They hide in bones, organs, and the nervous system. You fix one imbalance, another spikes. Detoxing is unpredictable, intense, and relentless — and for me, that was my life from 2014 to 2016."

The Numbers Tell the Story

My February 2014 hair analysis read like a horror story:

• Lead: 10 μg/g — more than ten times the safe limit

• Aluminum: 28 μg/g — sky high

• Cadmium: above reference

• Nickel: 0.72 μg/g

• Silver: 2.9 μg/g

• Tin: 0.46 μg/g

• Titanium: 2.8 μg/g

Minerals were also wildly off:

• Calcium: 2390 μg/g (reference: 200–750)

• Magnesium: 160 μg/g (reference: 25–75)

• Potassium, Copper, Selenium: all erratic

It was like steering a submarine through an underwater minefield blindfolded — fix one metal, and another would spike. Every new test felt like a plot twist in a thriller.

Heroes in the Shadows

What kept me going were the people who had walked similar paths:

• Truth Calkins and David Wolfe: detox pioneers

• Experts who flew to Hawaii post-Fukushima to help Navy families and first responders purge radioactive elements

They showed me that even in extreme, complicated toxic scenarios — submariners, reactors, environmental disasters — healing was possible. Their courage and knowledge became my lifeline.

The Turning Point (2014 → 2016)

Over two years, I focused on mineral balancing, diet, lifestyle, and meditation. Slowly, the numbers shifted:

• Lead: 10 → 7.5 μg/g

• Aluminum: 28 → 17 μg/g

• Arsenic: 0.26 → 0.012 μg/g

• Mercury stabilized, uranium dropped, copper rebalanced

Every small victory felt like a crack of light.

The process wasn’t straightforward. Chelating one metal would affect calcium, zinc, or copper. It was like playing whack-a-mole with my own biochemistry — or juggling the periodic table. I joked with myself: “Why can’t we all just be noble gases?” The humor helped me cope with the absurdity of managing mercury, magnesium, and potassium at midnight while my brain asked: “How did this happen? Did I eat a lead pencil in kindergarten?”

The lesson was clear: metals are complex. You don’t remove them; you coax and balance them. Healing requires patience, presence, and constant adjustment.

The Cracks of Light

Once my foundation stabilized, small joys returned:

• Using an umbrella as a walking stick restored independence

• Flippers in the pool made swimming feel effortless

• Laughing yoga transformed grief into laughter

• Pole dancing restored balance and play

• Pony rides and puppy walks rebuilt strength and joy

Each activity was proof: my body was healing, my spirit was recovering, and wholeness was possible after years of feeling toxic, brittle, and broken.

Coaching Insight

Lesson: detox isn’t linear. Like sailing in a storm, every adjustment shifts the entire system. Metals are complex, but healing is possible. Patience, guidance, and courage turn small victories into cracks of light.

Mini Hypnosis / Reflection

Close your eyes. Imagine those who survived Fukushima, Deepwater Horizon, and other environmental disasters — resilient, unbroken, standing tall.

• Inhale gratitude for their courage

• Exhale fear, uncertainty, and toxins

• Picture communities helping each other rebuild

• Celebrate every small triumph — every safe sip of water, every step, every nourishing meal

Feel their resilience as a connection to your own. The light isn’t distant; it exists in the human spirit, waiting for you to step into it.
