Everyday we are exposed to heavy metals from pollution in our environment, heavy metal poisoning occurs when unhealthy levels of polluting toxic substances found in the environment, work place or even your home enter your system.
Heavy metals become toxic when they are not metabolized by the body and over a period of time accumulate in the soft tissues. Heavy metals can enter the human body through various means, food, water, air, or absorption through the skin.
Heavy metals are used in agriculture and in manufacturing, pharmaceutical, industrial, or residential industries, Industrial exposure accounts for one of the most common routes for toxins to enter the human system.
Though symptoms of heavy metal poisoning are often not felt for a long time the effects can be long term and damaging, see how detoxing and removing heavy metals from your body may benefit your overal health.
Our body's internal organs struggle to cope with the ever increasing levels of pollution we are exposed to. A heavy metal detoxification test can determine the levels of heavy metals present in your body.

Using hair mineral analysis to determine the level heavy metals. We offer a service so you can have hair mineral analysis conducted before and after a heavy metal detoxification program, or try our home heavy metal testing kits.
Symptoms of heavy metal poisoning
Arsenic heavy metal poisoning
Symptoms of heavy metal poisoning from Arsenic include violent stomach pains in the region of the bowels; tenderness on pressure; retching; vomiting; sense of dryness and tightness in the throat; thirst; hoarseness and difficulty of speech; the matter vomited, greenish or yellowish, sometimes streaked with blood; diarrhea; sometimes excoriation of the anus; urinary organs occasionally affected with violent burning pains and suppression; convulsions and cramps; clammy sweats; sensitivity of the extremities; countenance collapsed; eyes red and sparkling; delirium; death. Some of these symptoms may be absent where the poisoning results from inhalation, as of aspirated hydrogen.
Symptoms of arsenic poisoning start with mild headaches and can progress to lightheadedness and usually, if untreated, will result in death.
Arsenic poisoning can lead to a variety of problems, from skin cancer to keratoses of the feet. Use our simple home arsenic poisoning test to check for arsenic in your system.
Lead heavy metal poisoning
The symptoms of Lead poisoning include neurological problems, such as reduced IQ, or nausea, abdominal pain, irritability, insomnia, metal taste in oral cavity, excess lethargy or hyperactivity, headache and, in extreme cases, seizure and coma.
There are also associated gastrointestinal problems with lead poisoning, such as constipation, diarrhoea, vomiting, poor appetite, weight loss, which are common in acute lead poisoning.
Other associated effects of lead poisoning are anaemia, kidney problems, and reproductive problems. In humans, lead toxicity sometimes causes the formation of a bluish line along the gums, which is known as the "Burton's line", although this is very uncommon in young children.
Blood film examination may reveal "basophilic stippling" of red blood cells, as well as the changes normally associated with iron deficiency anaemia (Microsystems and hypochromia). A direct link between early lead exposure and extreme learning disability has been confirmed by multiple researchers and child advocacy groups. try our home lead poisoning test to determine the presence and quantity of lead in your body.
Mercury heavy metal poisoning
Symptoms of Mercury damages the central nervous system, endocrine system, kidneys, and other organs, and adversely affects the mouth, gums, and teeth. Exposure over long periods of time or heavy exposure to mercury vapour can result in brain damage and ultimately death.
Mercury and its compounds are particularly toxic to fetuses and infants. Women who have been exposed to mercury in pregnancy have sometimes given birth to children with serious birth defects (see Minamata disease). Some of the toxic effects of mercury are reversible, either through specific therapy or through natural elimination of the metal after exposure has been discontinued. Use our home mercury poisoning test to check your body for toxicity from mercury
However, heavy or prolonged exposure can do irreversible damage, particularly in fetuses, infants, and young children. Exposure to certain highly toxic compounds of mercury such as dimethylmercury can be fatal within hours or less.
Mercury exposure in very young children can have severe neurological consequences, preventing nerve sheaths from forming properly. Research has been done that demonstrates the inhibitory effect that mercury has on myelin, the building block protein that forms these sheaths.
Cadmium heavy metal poisoning
Symptoms of Cadmium cute exposure to cadmium fumes may cause flu like symptoms including chills, fever, and muscle ache. Symptoms may resolve after a week if there is no respiratory damage. More severe exposures can cause tracheo-bronchitis, pneumonitis, and pulmonary edema.
Symptoms of inflammation may start hours after the exposure and include cough, dryness and irritation of the nose and throat, headache, dizziness, weakness, fever, chills, and chest pain. Inhaling cadmium-laden dust quickly leads to respiratory tract and kidney problems which can be fatal (often from renal failure).
Ingestion of any significant amount of cadmium causes immediate poisoning and damage to the liver and the kidneys. Compounds containing cadmium are also carcinogenic. Use our home cadmium poisoning test to check for toxicity.
The bones become soft (osteomalacia), lose bone mass and become weaker (osteoporosis). This causes the pain in the joints and the back, and also increases the risk of fractures. In extreme cases of cadmium poisoning, the mere body weight causes a fracture.
The kidneys lose their function to remove acids from the blood in proximal renal tubular dysfunction. The kidney damage inflicted by cadmium poisoning is irreversible and does not heal over time.
The proximal renal tubular dysfunction creates low phosphate levels in the blood (hypophosphatemia), causing muscle weakness and sometimes coma.
The dysfunction also causes gout, a form of arthritis due to the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints because of high acidity of the blood (hyperuricemia).
Another side effect is increased levels of chloride in the blood (hyperchloremia). The kidneys can also shrink up to 30%. Other patients lose their sense of smell (anosmia).
Aluminium heavy metal poisoning
Check for symptoms with a home aluminium poisoning test. Aluminium is a neurotoxin that alters the function of the blood-brain barrier. It is one of the few abundant elements that appears to have no beneficial function to living cells. A small percent of people are allergic to it — they experience contact dermatitis from any form of it: an itchy rash from using styptic or antiperspirant products, digestive disorders and inability to absorb nutrients from eating food cooked in aluminium pans, and vomiting and other symptoms of poisoning from ingesting such products as Amphojel, and Maalox (antacids).
In other people, aluminium is not considered as toxic as heavy metals, but there is evidence of some toxicity if it is consumed in excessive amounts. The use of aluminium cookware, popular because of its corrosion resistance and good heat conduction, has not been shown to lead to aluminium toxicity in general.
Excessive consumption of antacids containing aluminium compounds and excessive use of aluminium-containing antiperspirants are more likely causes of toxicity.
In research published in the Journal of Applied Toxicology, Dr. Philippa D. Darby of the University of Reading has shown that aluminium salts increase estrogen-related gene expression in human breast cancer cells grown in the laboratory.
These salts' estrogen-like effects have lead to their classification as a metalloestrogen. It has been suggested that aluminium is a cause of Alzheimer's disease, as some brain plaques have been found to contain the metal. Research in this area has been inconclusive; aluminium accumulation may be a consequence of the Alzheimer's damage, not the cause.
In any event, if there is any toxicity of aluminium it must be via a very specific mechanism, since total human exposure to the element in the form of naturally occurring clay in soil and dust is enormously large over a lifetime.
Beryllium heavy metal poisoning
Symptoms of Beryllium poisoning, some people become sensitive to beryllium. These individuals may develop an inflammatory reaction that principally targets the respiratory system and skin. This condition is called chronic beryllium disease (CBD), and can occur within a few months or many years after exposure to higher than normal levels of beryllium. This disease causes fatigue, weakness, night sweats and can cause difficulty in breathing and a persistent dry cough.It can result in anorexia, weight loss, and may also lead to right-side heart enlargement and heart disease in advanced cases. Some people who are sensitised to beryllium may not have any symptoms.
