The environment in which we live is full of chemicals in our food, air, water, and ourselves.We and our children have been given vaccinations with preservative thiomersol, which contains the toxic heavy metal, mercury. Mercury is present in many of the fish we eat. Silver dental amalgams contain mercury which slows releases into our bodies. Lead, another toxic heavy metal is present in old paint, ink and pencils. The EPA Environmental Protection Agency has been studying toxins in human fat tissue, known as the NHATS the National Human Adipose Tissue Survey. High percentages of the samples contain benzene, toluene, dioxins, mercury, lead, and PCB’s, to name a few.
Due to this widespread contamination we are finding increased rates of toxin-related autism, behavioral disorders, psychological imbalances, neurological diseases, autoimmune diseases, arthritis, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome.
This Clinic has found toxicity exposure to become inherited factors which can skip generations and surface as disease. Therefore the mother who as a child played in her fathers old printing press room environment that provided lead exposure gave birth to a child with Autism and a neurological disease consistent with lead poisoning.
Thallium which is present in cigarette smoke, air and food is another toxic heavy metal which causes autoimmune diseases, such as scleroderma, and is known to produce excruciating pains. Mercury toxicity produces depression, arthritis, violent emotions and behaviors, and autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and scleroderma.
The multidisciplinary holistic approach of this Clinic offers a unique ability to understand what combination of treatment modalities will yield the best outcome in detoxification of toxic burdens, and removal of diseases and symptoms.
We know from experience that scientifically sound laboratory testing goes hand in hand with the most effective methods of detoxification. Below is a sample of a urine panel for toxic metals that we have found to be a reliable marker for metal toxicity when performed with the right protocol and testing sequence.
