Have you ever worked:

• as a painter 

• in manufacturing/chemical or pesticide/fungicide factories (fungicides with methyl mercury ingredients) 

• in pulp/paper mills that used mercury?

• as a dentist, hygienist, or dental assistant?

If you answer “yes” to five or more of these questions this should serve as an ‘alert’ warning to proceed with toxic heavy metal testing. Mercury and other toxic heavy metals are primarily measured in hair, blood cells and urine samples. However testing with computerized electrodermal screening can give useful information about the toxic load on the body and using homeopathic detoxification remedies can be helpful in reducing this load.
