Heavy Metal Toxicity

Heavy Metal Toxicity Symptoms

We live in a toxic world, and these toxins affect every aspect of our lives. Heavy metals — lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium, and uranium — are toxic minerals that are attached so firmly to our cells that they cannot easily be removed. By the time we hit 60, most of us have accumulated a substantial amount of heavy metals in our system. When these levels get high enough (and that varies between people), they start to interfere with healing and cause disease.

Autoimmune conditions, kidney disease, memory defects, muscle weakness, and thyroid disorders all can have a heavy metal trigger. Recent studies have also shown a significant connection between toxic metals (especially lead and mercury) and Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

The good news is that the body is set up to remove these toxins through the action of the liver, kidney, lungs, skin and lymphatic system. At Forum Health, we have a variety of effective detoxification methods that will remove these harmful metals, helping your body to return to full and functioning good health.

Hear From Our Patients

For most of my life, I was told I needed all these different doctors with different specialties to figure out what was happening in my body. What I really needed was a functional doctor who listened and treated me as a whole person with connected systems. With the support of my Forum Health care team, I’m slowly but surely reversing my severe eczema, hypothyroidism, allergies, and chronic fatigue.

My parents, myself, and my children have been patients of Dr. Peterson for several years. He is an amazing doctor! The amount of time that he spend talking with us about our medical history and ALL of our symptoms was kind of shocking at first. He is incredibly thorough, both in talking to us as patients and in the testing that he does. I have been so impressed with the progress we have made because of his willingness to do testing.

After I had my daughter, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s. I felt awful at the time. I was exhausted, bloated, had trouble concentrating, had heart palpitations, dizzy spells, and generally felt like I was carrying a backpack of bricks with me all day, every day. When I came to Dr. Taylor’s office he implemented a thorough and detailed plan for me...

Amazing doctors that actually listen and care about your health!

... Not only am I feeling better first the first time in years, but I’m finally losing weight and inches in a healthy, sustainable way! They’ve helped me to heal my gut and we are taking my PCOS on head on - it’s amazing and something that conventional medicine has been spinning their wheels with for years! I cannot wait to see where this journey takes me and know that I am a client for life!
