Our environment is flooded with chemicals,
which fill our water, air, food and ourselves. Toxic materials
damage our water, trees and us. They accumulate in our cells
and are causing a malfunction of our cells. Toxic metals such
as mercury, lead, cadmium, and tin have been indicated as
etiologic factor on degenerative diseases of aging, such as
osteoporoses, cardiovascular diseases, and cognitive impairment.
Not only, but an imbalance in the level of essential elements,
such as copper, manganese, and iron may affect our health.
For example. high level of ferritin ( the best test used in
order to measure iron levels ) is related with increased incidence
of degenerative diseases of aging, such as cardiovascular
diseases. Elevated levels of manganese may cause neurological
disorders similar to Parkinson`s disease and low level of
copper have been connected with increased incidence of cardiovascular
diseases. Urine elements analysis is essential for the diagnosis
of toxic element burden and for monitoring of the detoxification
process.
The diagnosis of the presence of certain toxic elements such
as mercury, lead and cadmium require a provocation test. A
provocation test involves the collection of urine, following
the administration of agents ( chelating agents ) able to
mobilize the elements from the tissue. It means that certain
elements will not come out of our body on their own, but only
after using certain chelating agents. According to the results
of the tests, the appropriate detoxification program will
be developed in order to decrease the burden of toxic materials
in out body, improve the balance of essential elements, improve
our health, and decrease the risk of diseases. If you want
to know more about chelation, call for Dr. Andy for an appointment. |
