Heavy metal toxicity is an often overlooked but critical health issue. Metals like mercury, lead, cadmium, and arsenic can accumulate in the body, leading to chronic health conditions such as fatigue, neurological issues, digestive disturbances, and more. At Patients Medical in New York City, we focus on a comprehensive, integrative approach that not only helps detoxify heavy metals but also restores balance to your overall health.
We go beyond just removing toxins—we aim to restore vitality and support your body’s natural detoxification processes.
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:
