Heavy Metal Testing

At Preventive Health Lab,  we utilize the hair-testing-analysis method to detect toxic levels of metal
in the body.  The hair testing method has been proven to be highly effective and does not require
blood to be drawn.  Heavy metal poisoning is quite serious and can compromise your health.

Heavy metal toxicity caused by increasing levels of pollution and use of chemicals in industry is a
growing threat to our health and development of our children. High levels of toxic metals deposited
in body tissues and subsequently in the brain, may cause significant developmental and
neurological damage, including autistic symptoms, depression, increased irritability, anxiety,
insomnia, hallucinations, memory loss, aggression and many other disorders.

Some possible sources of heavy metal poisoning include chemical products, fertilizers, industrial
paint, building materials, fish that is high in mercury, silver dental fillings, mercury presevatives in
vaccines, nasal sprays, and many more.

Lead may be found in dirt near roads and is commonly present in paint from older houses. Children
with pica or those who eat paint chips may develop toxic lead levels. Cadmium is used in batteries,
steel-belted tires, and plastics. The clear plastics used to cover foods may be a source of cadmium
and it is also found in cigarette smoke. Mercury is used in batteries, dental amalgam, vacuum
pumps, valves, and seals. Arsenic is high in seafood and may also be found in animals fed arsenic
in their feed. Arsenic is also present in wood preservatives, fungicides, herbicides, corrosion
inhibitors, and in lead and copper alloys.

Advanced laboratory testing will help determine levels of heavy metals deposited in body tissues
and the best course of treatments. People suffering from toxic metal related disorders can respond
favorably when methods of removal are implemented. These patients may also have low values of
essential elements like calcium, potassium, zinc, and magnesium, which can also be diagnosed with
the test from Preventive Health Lab. Treatment of heavy metal exposure usually involves the
removal of the heavy metal source and treatment with chelating agents.
