If you have unexplained symptoms that have not responded to other interventions, ask your medical provider if our simple, noninvasive tests may detect potentially toxic metal exposures from your household or work environment. By using DiagnosTechs saliva and urine testing, your doctor can determine if your metal and element levels are within a healthy reference range or if they may indicate potentially toxic levels linked to your symptoms. Your medical provider will also ask you about possible occupational exposure, hobbies, diet, and additional environmental factors that may be bringing you into contact with dangerous or toxic levels of these substances.
