Toxic Metal Testing in Northeast Ohio

Toxic Metal TestingIf you live near an industrial area or an area prone to environmental pollution, there’s a chance you may have come in contact with toxic metals. These harmful metals can be found in the food we eat, the water we use for drinking and bathing, and the air around us. Because of this, Balance of Life Clinic, located in Medina, Ohio, offers toxic metal testing services to the Northeastern OH area.

Why Test for Toxic Metals?

Aside from being inhaled in the air, toxic metals can make their way into your food and drinks as a result of poor processing or contaminated raw materials. The difficult thing about identifying toxic metal poisoning is that the effects take hold over time, and prevention can be just as tough, as the metals don’t have a specific taste. Some toxic metals are commonly found in patients with toxic metal poisoning include:

  • Lead
  • Mercury
  • Cadmium
  • Arsenic
  • Nickel
  • Zinc

 

Among the metals listed in this list, mercury is the most dangerous. If it’s in the air, it can easily be absorbed through the skin and into the lungs, and it remains in the body for a long period.

Symptoms of Toxic Metal Poisoning

Because these toxic metals have a varied means of entering the body, they pose a unique threat to our overall health. There are several circumstances during which you may have unknowingly come into contact with one of these metals, such as:

  • Environmental pollution
  • Exposure to lead-based paints
  • Prescribed medication
  • Tainted food/water
  • Unsafe industrial workplace

 

Toxic metal poisoning has a unique set of symptoms, which includes:

  • Allergic reactions
  • Difficulty seeing
  • Digestive problems
  • Fatigue
  • Headaches
  • Mental fogginess
  • Pain in the joints and muscles
  • Short-term memory loss

 

If you’re experiencing one or more of these symptoms, especially if you work or live near a hazardous environment, promptly speak with Balance of Life Clinic to get tested.

Our Toxic Metal Testing Services

At Balance of Live Clinic, we recognize how harmful these metals are, which is why we offer toxic metal testing to our community. Urine testing is one of the most accurate ways to confirm the presence of toxic metals in your system.

Testing is 24 hours, and you’ll be given an oral chelator as the technician requires additional samples. Chelators are chemical compounds that bind themselves to metal ions (like the ones in toxic metals). This bond makes the metal ion water-soluble, which means it will be present in the urine. The results indicate the level of toxicity in your body.

Schedule an Appointment Today

If you or a loved one is presenting with symptoms of toxic metal poisoning, you need to schedule a toxic metal test as soon as possible. We recognize how harmful these materials are, which is why Balance of Life Clinic provides toxic metal testing to those in Northeastern Ohio. Contact us today to schedule an appointment.
