L_82 Toxic Element Clearance Profile (Urine)

£395.00

The Toxic Element Clearance Profile offers an advanced, comprehensive assessment of toxic and potentially toxic elements excreted in the urine. In addition to measuring classic elemental toxics, this profile includes elements used in medical, aerospace, nuclear and high-tech electronics industries. Use of these potential toxins is increasing because of their growing commercial, industrial, and medical applications.

Description

Includes your full personal report and plan from Jo, with a Zoom consultation to run through the diagnosis and prognosis.

This Toxic Element Clearance Profile measures urinary excretion of a diverse range of potentially harmful elements, both well known toxics such as lead and mercury, as well as new technology toxics such as niobium.

Gadolinium
Gallium
Lead
Mercury
Nickel
Niobium
Platinum

Sources of Exposure

Accumulations of these toxics can occur in the human body in response to occupational exposures or to environmental exposures from toxic release in air, soil, or industrial waste streams. These include:

Metal refining
Fabrication of nuclear reactor fuel assemblies
Alloying
Electronics and computer manufacturing
Plating and parts manufacture in aerospace and machine tool industries

According to the EPA, the U.S. has the largest electronics (including computer) workforce in the world. Exposures to the measured elements can occur in other occupations as well, including:

Welding and metal shaping
Plumbing
Oil refining
Manufacture of pigments and coatings
Military or police service (with weapons use)
Handling and disposal of wastes
Petrochemical production

Health Consequences of Exposure:

Evidence suggests that chronic toxic element exposure can adversely affect:

Energy levels
Reproductive function
Cancer risk
Degenerative conditions
Neurological development and function
Respiratory, cardiac, hepatic and immune functions
Cognitive and emotional health

Researchers are discovering detrimental health effects of toxic heavy metals at lower and lower exposure levels. This raises the issue of whether any toxic element level in the body is safe.

Toxic Element Testing

The Toxic Element Clearance Profile assesses urinary excretion of elements acquired through either chronic or acute exposure. The test enables practitioners to effectively monitor the progress of detoxification regimens and nutrient element status during treatment. All toxic metals are reported as micrograms/g creatinine or as micrograms per 24 hours (if a 24-hour urine specimen is provided).

“Provocation” Urine Testing

Urine can be collected following the administration of a “challenge” agent (such as EDTA, DMSA, DMPS, and D-penicillamine) targeting specific toxic elements. Depending on the agent administered, urine collection may be spot or short-term (2-6 hours), intermediate (8-12 hours) or a complete 24-hour collection. Since many detoxification agents are element-specific, this approach is best utilised when the clinician suspects specific heavy metal toxicities.
NOTE: This form of testing requires specific instruction of appropriate chelation “provocation” protocol by the reviewing practitioner.
