Heavy metals are everywhere – in the soil our food grows in, the water we drink, the materials our homes are built from, the medicine we’re prescribed, and even in the air we breathe. They’re unavoidable and, in the quantities we’re exposed to, they can be extremely damaging. In fact, they can affect how every enzyme and cell in our body works. Toxins like these can compromise the efficiency of all our systems and can have massive effects on us without our necessarily being able to pinpoint one clear cause. Symptoms of heavy metal toxicity can be subtle and insidious, or clear and significant.

Some Common Metals and Where They’re Found

Aluminium	Cans, deodorants, tinfoil, baking powder, processed cheese, nasal spray, cosmetics, food additives, aspirin, batteries, and certain pots and pans.
Arsenic	Detergents, tobacco smoke, paints, dyes, chemotherapy, rice, seafood, pork, and chicken.
Cadmium	Ceramics, cigarettes, e-cigarettes, plastic, black rubber, shellfish, soft drinks, kidneys and liver, fertilisers, fungicides, and your mobile phone.
Lead	Lead paint, lead pipes (and the water they carry), cigarettes, hair dye, food packaging, old toys, mobile phone, canned food, and bone broth.
Mercury	Seafood (especially tuna), some dental fillings, mercurochrome, some skin ointments, tattoos, cosmetics, fabric softeners, batteries, nasal sprays, paints, some art supplies, and your mobile phone.
Copper	Copper pipes and the water that passes through them, certain birth control pills, fungicides, shellfish, tofu, nuts, seeds, avocados, wholegrains, chocolate, and tea.

Some of these heavy metals have some health benefits. In fact, they can even be necessary to our good health. However, they present many disadvantages too, and it’s important to be aware of their effects to identify the possible sources of some of your health issues. They can be ingested, inhaled, and absorbed through your skin.

How is Heavy Metal Poisoning Diagnosed?

If you suspect you have heavy metal toxicity or the beginning of it, you could visit your healthcare practitioner. They might test your urine or blood, or x-ray you. Some common tests include:

• A complete blood count
• Function tests for your kidney and liver
• Urine analysis
• Radiographs of the abdomen
• Electrocardiogram

In addition, your healthcare supporter should ask you about your environment, habits, diet, and any other aspect of your life that could contribute to your heavy metal levels. If you’re at dangerous levels because of ingesting or being exposed to massive amounts of heavy metals, you may need to get your stomach pumped. However, most treatments are less dramatic and invasive.
