Mercury levels can be tested both via hair and urine analysis, and are both available here at the clinic.

Mercury toxicity symptoms can depend on many factors:
1. The chemical form absorbed and how it is transported into the body tissues
2. The presence of other synergistic toxins (Pb and Cd have similar effects)
3. The presence of a disease that lowers the bodies own immune system
4. The body's concentration of protective nutrients (Zinc, Selenium, Vitamin E)
5. Organ levels of foreign substances (pesticides which must be detoxified via liver)

A recently published article in BMC Pediatrics finds children with autism may benefit from Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments (HBOT). The multicenter, randomized, double-blind, controlled study compared children taking 40 hours of HBOT versus those receiving slightly pressurized room air. The study found significant improvements in overall functioning, receptive language, social interaction, eye contact, and sensory/cognitive awareness.
