Patient's question:
Recently exposed to some heavy metals and feeling quite unwell. I'd like to check what kind of help is available: asking about prices and methods. Can heavy metals affect intelligence?Doctor's answer:
Heavy metals refer to metals with a density greater than 4 or 5, totaling about 45 species, such as copper, lead, zinc, iron, cobalt, nickel, vanadium, niobium, tantalum, titanium, manganese, cadmium, mercury, tungsten, molybdenum, gold, and silver.Guidance: Heavy metals enter the human body through the food chain and gradually accumulate in the kidneys and bones. They replace calcium in bones, causing severe bone softening and fractures. They can also lead to endocrine disorders in the stomach and affect the zinc enzyme system in humans and organisms, reducing mineral levels and contributing to an increase in hypertension. Its toxicity is latent.
