ABOUT THE HAIR, MINERAL & TOXIC METAL PROFILE TEST

Now, you can assess the extent of toxic damage within the body and find out how this may be contributing to various health concerns. Through a simple blood sample, our Toxic Metal Profile test offers a revealing insight into your body’s chemistry in advance of undertaking a course of EDTA (Chelation Therapy), otherwise known as our Heavy Metal Detox IV.

WHAT IS A TOXIC METAL PROFILE TEST AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

Have you noticed a significant drop in energy levels? Perhaps you have observed an increase in feelings of tiredness and physical weakness. It’s a well-known fact that exposure to urban environments as well as the consumption of certain foods can lead to an overload of heavy metals. Although our EDTA infusion therapy can alleviate this condition, it’s important to first identify the levels of existing heavy metals within the body and determine whether EDTA therapy will be useful.

An overload indicates overly high levels of heavy metals within the body. It can involve one or more of over twenty different elements, including arsenic, barium, cadmium, calcium, chromium, cobalt, copper, lead, lithium, magnesium, manganese, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, platinum, selenium, strontium, thallium, tungsten, uranium, vanadium and zinc. As heavy metal buildups become more common, the stresses of modern life are often blamed; pollution and poor diet can easily disrupt an individual’s overall health status, leading them down the road of various supplements and lifestyle changes.

WHAT ARE HEAVY METALS AND WHY ARE THEY HARMFUL?

Heavy metals refer to those such as lead and mercury. In large quantities, they can prove toxic to the human body. This is because their overload generates cell-damaging free radicals through a process called oxidation. In comparison to previous generations, we are exposed more frequently to heavy metals – no wonder levels of lethargy, stress and hair loss are rising!

HOW WE CAN HELP

Our Toxic Metal Profile Test analyses the body’s heavy metal levels against certain benchmark values, in order to determine whether there has been an over-accumulation of any one element or not. This gives our practitioners a clear insight into the extent of any potential heavy metal buildup, and enables them to formulate an effective treatment plan for this condition with EDTA (chelation therapy).
