A member asked:
Is there a way to test my 16 month old for heavy metals besides drawing blood?

Heavy metals: Tests can be done on blood, urine and hair samples. The urine test may not detect all forms of heavy metals. It would be best to discuss with your doctor the signs and symptoms and then determine the best test to do.

Osumex's heavy metal: Test kits are designed to detect the presence of toxic heavy metals in the body using urine or saliva.

Yes : Urine collection for heavy metals can be obtained and are accurate. It's probably easier to get blood from an 16 month old than urine though.
