Toronto Functional Medicine Centre in Toronto, ON, Canada, has recently published a blog post that explains the use of IV therapy for heavy metal toxicity and brain health support. This is because of the link that has been found between exposure to heavy metals and mental health issues. Scientists have observed that metals may also contribute to cognitive health problems. For instance, exposure to lead has been found to be related to depression, reduced cognitive and response capability, panic disorder, anxiety, schizophrenia, and even Parkinson’s disease although not as consistently as Alzheimer’s disease. Fortunately, it has been observed that the functional medicine providers at the Toronto clinic can customize a treatment plan to help each patient recover from heavy metal toxicities. A combination of various kinds of treatments, including IV therapy, allopathic medicine, acupuncture, bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, herbal medicine, and naturopathy, may be used.
Exposure to cadmium has also been linked to mental health issues. In one study where cadmium was measured in patients already diagnosed with schizophrenia, it was found that lead and cadmium may cause lesions in the brain that affect gray and white matter, total cortical volume, and the cerebroventricular system.
Meanwhile, it has been observed that functional medicine therapies and programs such as chelation therapy may promote detoxification and the elimination of heavy metals from the body. For instance, during initial consultation or a full diagnostic session at the Toronto Functional Medicine Centre, they may suggest a heavy metal/urine toxic element clearance profile. And then based on the results of the lab tests, they will develop a treatment designed to help get rid of heavy metals. Some of these treatments that may help reduce heavy metal toxicities and offer support for the health of the mind and body are chelation therapy oral or and IV therapy.
Chelation therapy requires the ingestion of a chelating agent that binds with the heavy metals, which will result into a decrease in the toxicity levels in the blood and tissue. This chelating agent is then excreted from the body through urine.
IV therapy drips may also be used to promote detoxification while offering a solution to a nutritional deficiency. Instead of ingesting the chelating agent, it may be included in a saline drip solution that is connected to the patient’s veins. This will allow the agent to enter the bloodstream directly without going through the digestive tract. In addition, other IV vitamin therapies may also be used for supporting mood, including B vitamins and amino acids.
Meanwhile, the personalized service of functional medicine treatments provided can be used for various health issues. Their daily freshly compounded vitamin drip treatments may include essential vitamins and beneficial components, including vitamin A, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), high-dose vitamin C, a medley of amino acids, major antioxidants, and B vitamins such as biotin.
