Chronic heavy metal toxicity is a serious problem that many are not aware of. If you’re experiencing headaches, vision problems, digestive disturbance, food intolerances, or allergies, your symptoms may be related to toxic levels of heavy metals in your body. Heavy metals have also been accused of contributing to cardiovascular disease, depression, diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and arthritis. Your doctor may suggest testing heavy metal levels if you’re experiencing symptoms with no known cause or if you’ve been diagnosed with a condition that isn’t reacting to treatment.
What is a heavy metal? A heavy metal is any mineral element with a specific gravity at least five times greater than water. Arsenic, cadmium, mercury, iron, and lead are a few common heavy metals. They are contained in fertilizers, insect spray, and household cleaners, as well as many other products we come into contact with, and can enter the body through the air, food, water, or even the air we breathe.
Heavy metal toxicity occurs when the body is unable to metabolize them and they begin to accumulate in the soft tissues. Corcetti Chiropractic & Rehabilitation Center recommends hair analysis to detect dangerous levels of heavy metals and other minerals in the body. It is the most effective way to determine exactly what dietary changes you need to make to cleanse your body of dangerous minerals and to correct deficiencies.
Hair analysis allows your doctor to design a nutritional and dietary supplement program to fit your individual needs. Even if you aren’t experiencing severe symptoms, minerals may be building up in your body, and can cause serious symptoms if left untreated. Small clues such as brittle nails and hair, grooves or spots in your fingernails, stretch marks, or mood swings, may be a sign of a more serious problem.
