Description

Aluminum is an attacker of our central nervous system. Studies show that toxic metals contribute to brain diseases by producing oxidative stress and aluminum is one of the worst offenders.

Aluminum accumulates in the bones, hair, kidneys, brain, lungs, liver and thyroid where it competes with calcium for absorption and can affect skeletal mineralization and can be detected by taking a simple urine test.

Exposure can occur from daily consumption of female/male cosmetics and hygiene products including industrial exposure, cooking supplies and aerosol sprays. Aluminum levels may be increased in patients on dialysis and in patients with renal failure and Alzheimer’s disease. This measure is very sensitive to aluminum containing medications, e.g., aluminum-containing antacids, such as Mylanta and Maalox and may continue to test as elevated for a prolonged period of time even after the medication is stopped.
