Heavy metal poisoning occurs when your body’s soft tissues absorb too much of a particular metal. You might be exposed to high concentrations of metals from food, air or water pollution, as well as medicine, food containers with improper coating, industrial exposure or lead-based paint. Common symptoms across several types of heavy metal poisoning include: diarrhoea, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, shortness of breath, tingling in your hands and feet, chills and weakness. If you have suffered with any of these symptoms for a long period of time and conventional medicine testing has failed to give you any answers then you may want to consider heavy metal urine or hair sample testing.

Patient Instructions:
It is recommended that you omit fish and shellfish from your diet for 5-7 days prior to collecting your urine sample as these have been shown to temporarily increase the excretion of toxic metals.
Mineral containing nutritional supplements should ideally also be avoided for 24 hours prior to commencing your sample collection.
Collect urine over approximately 6 hours (or provide an early morning specimen). We recommend you select option A on your sample form once you receive your test kit.

Heavy metal toxicity can either be acute or chronic effects. Long-term exposure to heavy metal can progressively lead to muscular, physical and neurological degenerative processes that are similar to diseases such as Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy and Alzheimer's disease. This lab report will provide your levels of the following metals along with recommendations on how to correct levels. We use Doctors Data Inc labs in the USA for this testing. Your kit is posted to you from the UK within 24-48 hours of ordering so you should receive your test kit within a few days via DHL. You can then contact DHL to arrange a free collection of your sample. If you are ordering from outside the UK we will ship via DHL or Fedex with return labels. Results usually take around 2 weeks.
