Urine Toxic Metal Test

The Urine Toxic Metal Test is a very important test that your medical doctor will never suggest to you.

Toxic metals are ones that have no nutritional value to the human body and in fact can have damaging effects if they accumulate to levels that are intolerable to the individual. These metals include aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury, and so on.

Heavy metals are found all around us. They can be in cookware (e.g. aluminum pots and pans), car exhaust, cigarette smoke, antiperspirants, fish, dental amalgam, jewelry, cosmetics, solder, old paints, insecticides, and many, many other sources.

Through breathing, ingestion, or contact, these metals can enter the human body. Once inside, the body has the onerous task of eliminating them. Unfortunately, the elimination of heavy metals is extremely difficult and what often happens is that a great portion of the metals is removed from the blood and sequestered in various tissues of the body.

The brain and nerves, liver, kidneys, fatty tissue, and endocrine glands are some of the places where metals can be sequestered. With high levels and over time, damage can be caused to the immune, endocrine, or nervous systems.

If you have symptoms such as fatigue, muscle or joint pains, depression or mood swings, insomnia, changes in appetite, frequent colds or flues, allergies or autoimmune conditions, memory loss, nervous tremors, thyroid changes, metallic taste in the mouth, or any number of other symptoms that cannot by explained by medical tests from your physician, consider high levels of heavy metals in your body.

The Urine Toxic Metal Test is a simple and accurate test that is done by taking a substance that flushes the metals from the tissues of the body and then doing a 6-hour urine collection. A lab called Doctor’s Data analyzes the sample and a report is sent back to the doctor.

If the results show that there are high levels of any toxic metals, Dr. Yim can design a protocol to remove them from your body.
