      Many factors affect the absorption, distribution and excretion of both
      toxic heavy metals and essential minerals. Hair levels of toxic metals
      may give the most accurate indication of body toxic metal burden and
      overall exposure. Hair analysis is extremely cost effective and also
      gives an indication of total toxic metal load. Also, a 24-hour urine
      test is needed to see if you have arsenic poisoning. Symptoms can
      include an overall ill feeling and mental disturbances such as delusion
      and confusion. Other symptoms include:

      Toxic Heavy Metals negatively impact our health. They are in the air we
      breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, the products we use and
      the objects we touch. Exposure is all but impossible to avoid. The root
      causation of arsenic poisoning can be household products and your water
      system. Be careful that you don't have pesticides near any water
      source. Pay special attention to your gardening area. If you're
      remodeling your house, drywall dust can be a source of arsenic too.

      Heavy metals build up within the body over a period of time causes poor
      health. However they can be mobilized and excreted in a safe and
      effective manner. Treatment is usually Chelation therapy that pulls
      arsenic out of your system. Heavy metals (arsenic, lead, and mercury)
      like to hide in the brain and are resistant to cleaning out. The liver
      has to do a hard job processing the toxins during chelation therapy and
      the process can be tough on your digestive system. It's best to eat a
      diet of protein and mostly vegetables during treatment. Treatment can
      be done via IVs or orally. Intravenous treatment can be too rough on
      your body and some people need to take oral drops instead for a slower
      but less intrusive treatment.

      Your chiropractor can be a good treatment resource as they have a test
      to see how much arsenic or other heavy metals are in your system. By
      pressing on certain body parts and applying a resistance test, they can
      tell how your treatment has progressed. Additional 24-hour urine tests
      may also be prescribed to see what your levels are. Over time, you can
      rid your system of heavy metals but remember that you must be patient
      and thorough with the treatment process.
