Скачать или смотреть The Truth About Tampons | Heal Thy Self w/ Dr. G

Are you aware of the hidden dangers in tampons? This video delves into the health risks associated with tampon use, focusing on toxic heavy metals like lead, arsenic, and cadmium. You'll learn about the health risks from these metals, how vaginal absorption affects your health, and why organic labels might not guarantee safety. Key findings reveal detectable levels of heavy metals in all tested tampons, with non-organic ones showing higher lead concentrations and organic ones having more arsenic. Contamination can come from materials, water, air, soil, and manufacturing processes. Symptoms of heavy metal toxicity include neurological issues, irritability, cognitive decline, gastrointestinal problems, and anemia from lead; memory loss, mood swings, and kidney issues from mercury; and skin problems, gastrointestinal distress, and cardiovascular issues from arsenic. For safer options, consider medical-grade silicone menstrual cups, research brands for manufacturing transparency, and ask about heavy metal testing and safety standards.
