Heavy metals such as mercury, lead, arsenic, and cadmium are hidden threats that accumulate in the body over time—affecting the brain, hormones, gut, and immune system. While conventional medicine often overlooks the slow build-up of toxins, at Patients Medical in NYC, we take an integrative, functional medicine approach to uncover, test, and detox your body naturally and safely.
We don’t just mask symptoms—we identify and address root causes of fatigue, brain fog, hormonal issues, and chronic illness tied to toxic load.
Heavy metal toxicity occurs when dangerous metals build up in the body’s tissues and interfere with essential biological processes. They can come from:
Vaccinations (older formulations with thimerosal)
At Patients Medical, we look at why your body accumulated metals rather than eliminating them:
Our functional medicine physicians use comprehensive testing to assess the type and severity of heavy metal burden:
Tom, 50, came to us with unexplained fatigue, brain fog, and digestive issues. After testing, we found elevated levels of mercury and cadmium in his system, likely from his occupation and environmental exposure.
His integrative treatment plan included:
After four months of treatment, Tom’s energy levels returned to normal, and his cognitive function improved significantly. His heavy metal levels were greatly reduced, and his symptoms diminished.
Yes, when done under physician supervision. We support liver, gut, and drainage pathways to prevent detox reactions.
Anywhere from 3–6 months depending on the toxin levels, symptoms, and individual tolerance.
We don’t recommend it. Mobilizing toxins without proper drainage can worsen symptoms and harm organs.
Dental amalgams, non-organic foods, tap water, air pollution, old paint, cosmetics, and vaccines.
Yes. We use age-appropriate testing and gentle protocols for children, especially in cases of developmental delay or behavioral concerns.
Cleanses are often generic. Detox is lab-based, physician-guided, and targets real physiological burden.
Yes. We use EDTA, DMSA, or DMPS chelators, based on testing and individual tolerance.
We monitor symptoms and retest to track metal levels, inflammation, and energy markers.
Yes. Many autoimmune patients have a toxic burden that contributes to immune dysregulation.
We are an out-of-network provider. However, we provide superbills for potential reimbursement. Lab testing may be partially covered.
Patients Medical specializes in gently helping the patient identify the root cause of their medical issues and then assist them to recover from their problems to help them move forward to good health.
