Your cells are, and they are paying the consequences.
My passion for nutrition, biochemistry, and health led me to enter the world of analytical interpretation, in which I have been able to discover the best tests and parameters that help us determine our internal state of health.
Within these tests I have established a specific protocol in which to know the degree of toxicity in which the person finds himself, a crucial point to understand to what extent it may be affecting his health.
This way we can quantify exactly which toxins and in what quantity are present in your body. Below, I'm going to show you an exclusive toxin profile:
Heavy metals (hair, urine, feces)
Mineralogram
Analytical test in which we evaluate the amount of toxic metals that our body is accumulating: mercury, aluminum, arsenic, lead, cadmium, antimony, barium, beryllium, bismuth, platinum, thallium, thorium, uranium, nickel, silver, gold, tin, titanium, tungsten…
Hair: It is an ideal sample for evaluating the level of mineral elements and metals in our body, and the amount of them incorporated into our hair is proportional to their concentration in the rest of the tissues in the body.
In this way, the analysis of toxins in hair provides us with indirect information about the physiological situation of these minerals in our body.
It is important to understand this as a starting point, without neglecting other complementary tests such as urine and stool analysis, since this will allow us to assess how the detoxification pathways are functioning.
Urine: This test accompanies the hair test and shows our kidney's ability to eliminate these toxins.
When our kidneys are not functioning properly, toxins cannot be eliminated and recirculate again and again, eventually depositing in the tissues.
We can have high levels of metals in our hair and low levels in our urine; this reflects poor kidney function in eliminating them, so the toxic load will be increasingly greater.
Alternatively, we can also find high levels of metals in hair and high levels in urine; this is a better prognosis, since at least, even with a high level of a metal, we can observe that its renal elimination capacity is good.
Stool: This test accompanies the hair and urine tests, the latter with the same explanation.
If we find low values in feces when they are high in tissues, this indicates a low detoxification capacity on the part of the liver/gallbladder, which means we can observe poor function of these organs.
We must pay attention to them and take the necessary measures to restore normal function, and in this way allow the best possible elimination of any internal toxins.
Alternatively, we can also find high levels of metals in hair and feces; this is a better prognosis, since at least (even with a high level of one metal) we can observe that its hepatic/biliary elimination capacity is efficient, and the phases described above in its complex detox process are not entirely negative.
Toxic non-metallic chemicals
Analysis obtained through blood or urine extraction, in which the most harmful toxic (non-metallic) substances for the human body are evaluated:
Organochlorines-organophosphates, MTBE/ETBE, phthalates, benzene, xylene, vinyl chloride, acrylamide, perchlorate, diphenyl phosphate, ethylene oxide, acrylonitrile, as well as more than two hundred chemicals from other places.
It helps us to know the state of internal toxicity that the person has, derived from daily exposure through all their life factors (food and water ingested, medicines, household products, environmental pollution, etc.).
It is important to know not only the degree of internal toxicity in the person, but also what toxic substances are present, in order to understand how they may be affecting the body and thus establish the best therapeutic strategy, since each one has specific repercussions on the body.
We live in a new toxic era that I have called Homo Toxicus, given that we are living with thousands of toxic substances daily, which are entering our bodies and leading to an ever-increasing level of internal contamination.
I have been able to observe through hundreds of analyses how our ability to process and eliminate those toxins that enter our body is being overwhelmed by our organs and systems, and that in a way is what is leading to the deterioration of our health.
For this very reason, being able to scientifically quantify each and every one of the toxins that may be affecting our cells is fundamental to any therapeutic approach; only in this way can pathologies and functional disorders be reversed, or athletes be allowed to achieve better results.
These tests are not only useful for people experiencing health problems, but also for anyone who wants to assess their toxic load and thus prevent the development of any type of pathological or dysfunctional process in the future.
These tests are very affordable considering all the information they offer, so I highly recommend them.
It is important not only to carry out these tests, but also to find someone with sufficient knowledge in biochemistry, nutrition, supplementation and analytical interpretation so that they can analyze and interpret them for you, and thus establish the best therapeutic approach, understanding what type of diet and supplementation is most appropriate and necessary for each specific case.
At Nutrición Científica Barcelona, we have the best professionals specializing in these types of tests and analyses, so if you ever need our services, we will be happy to help you with anything you need.
And remember, regardless of the circumstances you are immersed in regarding pollution (something we can hardly change in the new era we live in), it is possible to achieve a full state of health; you just need to know what toxic state your body is in, and in this way establish the best possible protocol (diet and supplementation).
This is the art of Scientific (orthomolecular) Nutrition, as through the highest scientific rigor we establish the best "natural" protocol based on optimal nutrition and supplementation, thus allowing everything at the molecular level to be in the best possible state of balance (homeostasis).
