Heavy metal toxicity is a state of chronic or acute toxicity to heavy metals that occur in everyday life. Heavy metals include lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium. They are present in the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink. Many people remain unaware of the signs and symptoms of heavy metal toxicity.

Neurological Symptoms
Heavy metal toxicity can affect the brain and nervous system. If you experience constant headaches, brain fog, memory loss, and numbness in your body, these may be signs of heavy metal poisoning. Other common neurological symptoms include depression, anxiety, and irritability. Heavy metals also interfere with normal sleep patterns, making it difficult to fall asleep or stay asleep for long.

Digestive Problems
Heavy metals can damage the digestive system and lead to problems, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, acid reflux, and diarrhoea. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms frequently, it’s a sign that your body may be struggling to remove heavy metals.

Skin Issues
Heavy metal toxicity can also affect the skin, leading to rashes, itching, and redness. Exposure to heavy metals can also cause acne and other skin problems. If your skin is frequently irritated or developing unusual rashes, heavy metal toxicity may be the underlying cause.

Muscle Weakness and Joint Pain
Heavy metal toxicity can cause muscle weakness and joint pain, making it difficult to perform everyday activities. If you’re experiencing unexplained muscle weakness or joint pain, heavy metal toxicity could be to blame. These symptoms can affect your ability to go about your daily life, and it’s crucial to seek medical attention.

Conclusion:
Heavy metal toxicity is a significant health issue that can lead to numerous chronic health conditions if left untreated. It’s essential to be aware of the signs and symptoms of heavy metal toxicity and seek practitioner help if you suspect that you may have heavy metal poisoning. Remember to take preventive measures in your day-to-day life, such as avoiding exposure to heavy metals by choosing safe products, eating a healthy diet, and drinking clean water. Stay safe and take care of your health.

Read and find out about Mediscan's hair analysis:

Making my way through the doors of Point Walter Medical Centre in Bicton, I notice a pharmacy to my right. Under the large sign “Pharmacy”, there’s a banner, bright and clear, showing me I’ve reached my destination, Mediscan.

After expressing my interest in having a hair test, a lady motions me to a small office and hands me an envelope to fill in my details. She explains how my hair will be collected, how much they’ll need, and when I’ll receive my results. As I’ve come in on a Monday morning, a convenient email at the end of the week sounds good to me!

She informs me that there are many doctors and practitioners recommending this test to their patients, however, like me, a customer can just come in to have it done if they’re curious about their toxicity levels. As someone who doesn’t have a referring practitioner, I ask if there’ll be any interpretation along with my results. The answer? Yes! The report includes my results, whether there’s a presence of heavy metals, and a suggested compounded item.

It’s clear from the get-go that, at Mediscan, the focus is on you, the customer. With friendly well-trained staff, this unique Perth-based firm is produces highly accurate and non-invasive results. They’re here to help detect the presence of heavy metals in your body such as: aluminium, arsenic, lead, and mercury. The hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) is also used to check for mineral imbalances such as: boron, chromium, iron, iodine, magnesium, and zinc.

Originally a cooperative between five Perth based HTMA practicing doctors and three Perth practicing pharmacists, Mediscan was formed in 2006. Their aim was to service the HTMA requirements of Western Australian practitioners. In those days, the testing was done overseas, and the turnaround time was three weeks. With interest and demand growth, the group reduced that time to 3-9 days by forming a relationship with the Centre for Forensic Science.

When I speak to the lady, about my family having their tests done, she tells me they can order a hair test on the website. That, aside from posting the hair into them, it’s all online! You simply head to their website, www.mediscan.net.au click on, “Order a test” and follow the prompts. Payment is done through PayPal and your report is sent directly to your email. Mediscan has now handled almost 55,000 hair tests, so you can be assured you’re in good hands!

Conveniently located within Point Walter Pharmacy, where there is a team of nine pharmacists on staff, there is always a health professional on hand to provide advice on prescriptions and to answer any questions you may have regarding your report. As a compounding pharmacy, Point Walter Pharmacy can make up your specific compounded item from your hair analysis. They recommend having a retest after six months to see if there’s been any progress.

With a children’s play area, well laid-out easy access shelves, and welcoming staff always ready to help, this place is a friendly, relaxed environment. You can have a seat, have a chat, browse the medical books, look at the new products, and get all the information and help you need.
