The 5 Heroes
A gentle, food-based protocol to pull mercury, lead, aluminum, cadmium and nickel from the brain and body.
Toxic heavy metals are virtually everywhere, and are present in all kinds of things that we come in contact with every day, such as aluminum cans and aluminum foil, toothpaste, batteries, metal cookware, old paint, and even the foods we eat from pesticides/insecticides.
Inspired by the work of Anthony William, the Medical Medium, who recommends Dulse Flakes and Whole Leaf specifically from the Atlantic coast. Five foods work in concert — each reaching a different tissue, each handing metals safely to the next — so nothing released gets reabsorbed along the way.
Self-Check
Look out for these common signs your body may be overloaded. If several feel familiar, your body may be asking for support.

Wild Blueberries • Cilantro • Spirulina • Barley Grass Juice Powder • Atlantic Dulse • Banana • Orange • Water
A rich, naturally sweet blend of 2 cups frozen wild blueberries, 1 cup cilantro, 1–2 tsp spirulina, 1–2 tsp barley grass juice powder, 1 tbsp Atlantic dulse, 2 bananas and 1 orange — finished with a splash of water. Designed to bind to and pull heavy metals (mercury, lead, aluminum) from the brain and body.
How Often to Drink
We recommend 3–4 smoothies per week for steady, gentle results. Please note: as the heroes bind and escort heavy metals out of the body, you may notice an increase in bowel movements — this is a normal part of the elimination process.
Heavy Metal Detox
This edible blue-green algae draws heavy metals out of your brain, central nervous system, and liver, and soaks up the metals extracted by barley grass juice extract powder. Take 1–2 teaspoons mixed in water, coconut water, juice or the smoothie below daily.
Prepares the metals for complete absorption by the spirulina. This nutritive grass draws heavy metals out of your spleen, intestinal tract, pancreas, thyroid, and reproductive system. Drink 1–2 teaspoons mixed in water, coconut water, juice or the smoothie below daily.
Absorbs deep into hard-to-reach places, extracting metals that have been there for years. Blend one cup in a smoothie or juice, or add to salad or guacamole.
Beyond mercury, Atlantic dulse binds to lead, aluminum, copper, cadmium, and nickel. Unlike other seaweeds it removes mercury on its own — traveling deep into the digestive tract and gut, binding to mercury and never releasing it until it leaves the body. Eat two tablespoons of flakes daily, or an equal amount of strips in whole-leaf form. Atlantic dulse will not release any mercury it may carry — it holds on and even grabs other metals along the way. It's the emergency backup waiting near the finish line (your colon) to ensure metals actually leave the body.
Draw heavy metals out of brain tissue, healing and repairing any gaps created by oxidation when metals are removed. Use wild blueberries — their unique phytonutrients have detoxifying capabilities cultivated blueberries lack, and their antioxidants help reverse oxidative damage. Especially powerful for brain tissue. Eat at least one cup daily (frozen is great), or pure wild blueberry powder when fresh isn't available.
The Detoxifying Power of Seaweed
Seaweed — particularly Dulse — possesses remarkable detoxifying qualities that have gained increasing recognition in recent years. One of its most significant attributes is its ability to act as a natural toxin binder. Seaweeds, rich in natural compounds, have demonstrated the capacity to bind to heavy metals such as aluminum, lead, cadmium and mercury, effectively removing these harmful substances from the body.
The fibrous nature of seaweed makes it an ideal candidate for toxin absorption in the colon. As it travels through the digestive system, seaweed binds to various toxins and carcinogens, aiding in their elimination. This dual action — both as a heavy metal chelator and a colon detoxifier — underscores its potential as a valuable component in promoting overall health and well-being.
Protocol
Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your kidneys and liver flushing freely, so mobilized metals leave the body instead of being reabsorbed.
Have the Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie 4–7 days per week. All 5 heroes work together — partial protocols are far less effective.
Reduce processed food, alcohol, and excess fat for the first 30 days so the binders aren't competing with digestion.
Walk 20–30 min daily. Sweat (sauna, sun, or light exercise) supports release through skin and lymph.
Re-take the self-check. Continue 3–5 days/week long-term for ongoing protection.
