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. Being mindful of our environment can do well to prevent environmental toxins from affecting our health and wellness. Many severe illnesses can stem from environmental toxicity, some which include:
  • Cancer
  • Respiratory diseases including asthma
  • Neurological diseases including Parkinson’s disease
  • Diabetes
  • Obesity
  • Endocrine problems
  • And more
Through toxin screenings, we can help determine levels of toxins present in your body and decide the best course of treatment for you.

Mold Exposure

Otherwise known as mildew, molds are numerous forms of fungi that develop in filaments and reproduce by creating spores that can move through the air. Many people experience some of these common symptoms when exposed to mold:
  • Itchy or watery eyes
  • Sneezing
  • Runny nose
  • Coughing
  • Skin rash or irritation
  • Wheezing
In some instances, people may experience serious reactions to mold exposure such as difficulty breathing, lung infections, or feeling feverish. If you believe you are experiencing certain symptoms possibly related to mold exposure, Dr. Markison can work with you on creating integrative solutions to improve your quality of life.
