Heavy Metal Screening and Treatment
Heavy metal screenings are a series of examinations that take a closer look at levels of potentially harmful metals in the blood. Some of the more commonly tested for metals include:
-
Lead
-
Mercury
-
Arsenic
-
Cadmium
-
Copper
-
Zinc
-
Aluminum
These metals can find their way into your body through a variety of ways: breathing them in, eating them in certain foods, or absorbing them through the skin. If excess levels of metal are present in the body, it can lead to heavy metal poisoning, which in turn can lead to behavioral changes, cognitive difficulties, or organ damage. While individual symptoms of an excess or deficient presence of metals within the body will vary, undergoing heavy metal screening is an advanced assessment we perform here at Mesa Dr Naturopathic Health . Following this examination, Dr. Markison can help decide the best course of treatment to help you live your best life.
Environmental Toxicity
Toxins are all around us. Occupational Medicine will help you treat environmental ailments. They can be found in the water we drink, the food we consume, and even in many household products.
