Heavy Metal Toxicity

Contamination of our environment is, unfortunately, a common by-product of modern society. Toxic elements called heavy metals are known to accumulate in our soil, water, air and food. Examples of heavy metals are lead, arsenic, uranium, cadmium, mercury, and aluminum.

Repeated exposure to these toxins can result in significant health risks. Heavy metal toxicity may cause or contribute to a number of unwanted symptoms including: anemia, learning deficits, behavior changes, tremors and other nervous system disorders, gingivitis, cancer, fatigue, headaches, memory difficulties, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Autism and MS.

Cases of severe poisoning due to lead, mercury and exposure to other heavy metals are now somewhat rare.However, chronic, low-level exposure from occupational, environmental and foods is much more common and poses a significant risk to your current and long term health because the effects tend to be cumulative and usually insidious. Think of it as a slow poisoning.

We can perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to detect the presence of heavy metals in your body. Then he or she will design a plan that may include specialized testing and chelation to decrease the toxic burden of these substances on your body and help you identify the source of your exposure to those elements.
