From Dr Datis Kharrazian:
“Every single patient should be tested for serum lead and urine arsenic.
Not just high-risk patients. Not just those with obvious exposure. Everyone.
Here's why this matters for your practice:
Lead: 17 percent of all-cause mortality is directly attributable to lead exposure. One-third of cardiac deaths are due to lead. Even levels considered "safe" (5-9 micrograms per deciliter) increase the risk of death from all causes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.
Arsenic: It's the world's number one toxic metal. Thirty-five percent of the U.S. population has arsenic levels above the threshold for disease induction. But here's the shocking part—disease actually begins at levels 2-5 times LOWER than the official "safe" threshold.”
