Heavy metals like mercury, lead, arsenic, and cadmium are more common in our bodies than most people realize. At Patients Medical in New York City, we go beyond simple detox supplements. We use a functional, integrative model to uncover where toxicity is hiding in your body—and help you eliminate it naturally and safely.
We treat the root cause—not just the symptoms of metal overload.
Heavy metals are naturally occurring elements, but when they accumulate in the body, they can be toxic. These metals can enter the body through contaminated food, water, air, or occupational exposure.
Common heavy metals include:
Chronic exposure to these metals can disrupt many bodily systems, including the nervous, cardiovascular, digestive, and immune systems.
Our environment is saturated with sources of metal exposure. These include:
Some people are genetically less efficient at detoxifying these metals—making them more susceptible to toxic buildup.
At Patients Medical, we rely on advanced lab testing to identify metal toxicity and its impact on your body.
John, 46, came to us with brain fog, anxiety, and chronic fatigue. His doctors suspected depression. But our testing revealed elevated mercury levels from decades of tuna consumption and old dental fillings.
We implemented:
Six months later, John’s mercury levels dropped by 70%, and his energy and focus dramatically improved.
Mercury and lead are among the most toxic, especially for the brain and nervous system.
Yes. With proper testing, detoxification, and organ support, most symptoms can be reduced or resolved.
If they contain mercury (silver amalgam), they may be contributing. Removal should only be done safely by a biological dentist.
Some supplements can help, but true detox should be medically supervised to avoid redistributing metals.
It depends on the metal, your levels, and your body’s detox ability. Most plans range from 3 to 6 months.
Some lab work may be reimbursable. We provide superbills for out-of-network claims.
Testing is the only reliable way. Symptoms alone can’t confirm exposure.
Yes—when done under supervision and with proper nutrient support. We monitor your labs and reactions closely.
Yes. Even low exposure can impact development, behavior, and cognition. We offer safe protocols for children too.
Some contain trace preservatives. We review each case carefully and offer detox support if needed.
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.
