Heavy Metal Test

Heavy & Toxic Minerals Tests

Heavy and Toxic Metals such as lead, cadmium, arsenic, and aluminum, pose some of the most serious challenges to health and wellness in the modern world. They interfere with a wide array of biochemical processes, and essentially throw “monkey wrenches” into cellular mechanisms. Once the type of heavy or toxic metal(s) is/are discovered through hair and urine testing, LabTest.Me can provide you with simple and relatively inexpensive methods to detoxify them.

Mercury toxicity from dental amalgam fillings and large predator fish such as tuna and swordfish is a common problem. For over a century, mercury poisoning has been associated with mood and bipolar disorders, which is where the term “mad as a hatter” comes from. Hatters in the 1800s were exposed to mercury in the manufacturing of top hats, and this is how the famous character, the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland, came to be popularized.

Even relatively low levels of lead poisoning cause attention problems, especially in children, which is often treated with stimulant medication instead of testing, diagnosing and detoxifying the lead toxicity. Aluminum toxicity has also been shown to cause attention problems in children.

Tobacco companies have known for several decades that their products are implicated in cadmium poisoning, which is more efficiently absorbed in smoke than in food. This is a good business decision. Cadmium poisoning can cause fatigue which compels smokers to increase their use of tobacco to derive the stimulant effects from nicotine.

These are only the tips of the icebergs – some of the most common examples of heavy and toxic metal poisoning, which cause many serious physical and psychological problems. These toxicities are so important, that the LabTest.Me panels test both the hair and urine, to help identify the types of hidden toxins which may be lurking in the body and brain. Once the type of heavy or toxic metal is discovered through hair and urine testing, LabTest.Me can provide you with simple and relatively inexpensive methods to detoxify them.
