General Toxicity Information

Toxicity is of much greater concern today than ever before. This is because of the increasing levels of pollution and chemicals in our air, water and food. There are many new and strong chemicals that haven’t been present in years past. We use more drugs, eat more processed food, and abuse various stimulates and sedatives. High levels of toxins in the body and brain are causing significant health, developmental and neurological issues. Common symptoms of toxicity include, but are not limited to coughing, choking, tight chest, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, back pain, urinating more or less than usual, headaches, dizziness, behavior changes, confusion, depression, coma, convulsions, anemia, tiredness, weakness and rashes.

Checking Toxicity Levels

There are many different types of tests when checking for toxic elements such as blood, hair and urine. Toxic elements may be 200-300 times more highly concentrated in hair than in blood or urine. Therefore, Alternative Health Care Center has chosen hair analysis for detection of toxic elements. Analysis of the levels of toxins can also be performed with a urine or urine challenge test. Hair and urine toxin analysis is a valuable and inexpensive screening for excessive toxic elements. They should not be considered a stand-alone diagnostic test and should be used in conjunction with patient symptoms and other laboratory tests.

Eliminating Toxicity

Alternative Health Care Center helps eliminate toxins for patients by utilizing specific therapies such as whole body cleanses, chelators, sweat therapies, massage, exercises and certain foods/nutrition. We also educate patients on the avoidance of products that contain toxins. Recommendations for air, water and shower filters along with natural cleaning and hygiene supplies may be options as well.
