Heavy metal poisoning has become an increasingly major health problem. Heavy
metals can be in the water we drink, the food we eat, the air we breathe, in
household products and toys.
Environmental presence of numerous toxic elements can occur from coal
combustion (see Earth Day 2008 Expose). Cadmium can be accumulated from
cigarette smoke; tires also excrete cadmium as they wear. Mercury can be
accumulated from dental amalgams and excess tuna fish consumption. Lead is
still used on yellow highway paint.
Numerous illnesses can occur from toxic elements: neurotoxicity, cardiovascular
disease, organ damage, inflamed joints and cancer.
Toxic elements/metal levels can be detected in blood, hair, urine, feces and sweat.
Blood is only useful for acute toxic exposure. Chronic exposure is best measured in
hair and urine.
A challenge test using a chelating agent (that binds metals and excretes them in
urine) can be used to determine stored metals in tissues.
Treatment of metal toxicity consists of using chelating agents, saunas, colonics
and massage therapy.
Follow up testing and clinical improvement helps determine the extent of
treatment.
For more information please make an appointment.
See attached results of some patients' tests.
