If you’re like most people, you probably don’t realize the number of toxins that you come into contact every day. There are over 70,000 chemicals commercially produced in the United States and we’re exposed to small amounts of many of these chemicals every day. This constant exposure, even at low levels, can cause dysfunction in many systems of the body.

The following quiz will help you determine your current level of toxic exposure and whether or not you would benefit from a personalized metabolic detoxification program.

Results

If you’ve answered YES to three or more of the above questions, you most certainly would benefit from metabolic detoxification. There are general detoxification programs that are good for most every one, and there are specific detoxification programs, custom tailored to the patient based on functional diagnostic test results.

For example, if we find a patient has arsenic or mercury in their system (more common than you might think), they will require a different type of detoxification program than someone who does not.

So, while everyone can benefit from periodic general cleansing, some patients will require a more personalized program to get the best results.
