What is Heavy Metal Burden?

Heavy metal burden is a term used to describe the accumulation of toxic heavy metals in the body due to prolonged exposure. Exposures are extremely common in our society with the most examples being mercury, lead and arsenic.

Heavy metal toxicity can cause a range of symptoms including joint pain, headaches, chronic fatigue, depression, cold extremities, decreased memory and concentration, neurological pain, numbness and tingling in the extremeties, hair loss, poor circulation, high blood pressure, leg cramps, etc.

How is it tested?

Heavy metal testing is done using a pre and post provocation urine test (using a heavy metal chelator) available at the Finlandia Health Centre. The test results display levels of accumulated toxic metals in the body as well as levels of microminerals essential to proper physiological function. The results usually take to weeks to receive after testing is complete.
