Heavy metals such as mercury, lead, tin, aluminum, arsenic, and cadmium can burden the body. Mercury may be present in the body due to old amalgam fillings or environmental exposure. Although controversial, there is evidence to suggest heavy metals may be the root cause for a variety of problems such as pain, inability to focus, some neurological problems, and more. Each of us has a different capacity to withstand a toxic load. When exceeded, body functions are affected and symptoms can occur. The liver is the main detoxifier and some health practitioners think it is the most overworked organ due to our 21st century lifestyle.
NIHA can detect the presence of heavy metals through traditional blood work and functional assessments such as electrodermal screening, ART(autonomic response testing), and a comprehensive dental evaluation.
Once the heavy metal has been identified a comprehensive program of Heavy Metal Detoxification can be developed to reduce the body burden. This may be accomplished through nutritional supplementation, I.V. therapy, oral chelating agents, and if indicated, safe amalgam removal.
