A member asked:

What tests can be done to check for heavy metal toxicity? do doctors believe in testing for it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Typical: Starting screen for urine collection for heavy metals, which will include lead, mercury, arsenic, etc. If screen positive, blood levels, hair analysis, can next assess for toxicity. These are NOT uncommon tests, especially when neurological or cognitive issues are present.
