DiagnosTechs unique TME testing helps determine if your metal and element levels may show potentially toxic levels linked to unexplained signs and symptoms. Your body needs small amounts of certain elements such as copper and zinc, but elevated levels of many metals and elements—such as lead, mercury, arsenic and cadmium—can be toxic at any level. Salivary Metals and ElementsAluminum (Al), Antimony (Sb), Arsenic (As), Barium (Ba), Beryllium (Be),Cadmium (Cd), Calcium (Ca), Cesium (Cs), Chromium (Cr), Cobalt (Co),Copper (Cu), Gadolinium (Gd), Iron (Fe), Lead (Pb), Lithium (Li), Magnesium(Mg), Manganese (Mn), Mercury (Hg), Molybdenum (Mo), Nickel (Ni), Palladium(Pd), Phosphorous (P), Platinum (Pt), Rubidium (Rb), Selenium (Se), Silver (Ag),Strontium (Sr), Thallium (Tl), Thorium (Th), Tin (Sn), Titanium (Ti), Tungsten (W),Uranium (U), Vanadium (V), Zinc (Zn), Zirconium (Zr) Signs and Symptoms Our TME testing can be helpful for evaluating patients who are at high risk of developing cancer, as well as those who are experiencing the following unexplained signs and symptoms: Joint and musculoskeletal pain Chronic fatigue Neurodegenerative diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig’s disease Metabolic disorders (e.g. diabetes) and difficulty losing weight Anemia (a classic sign of chronic metal exposure) Cognitive dysfunction such as memory loss, Parkinson’s Disease and “brain fog” Heart abnormalities such as cardiomyopathy or abnormal heart beat (dysrhythmia) Nervous system symptoms (e.g. numbness, tingling of hands and feet, and weakness) Abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea (hallmark symptoms with most cases of acute metal ingestion) Skin disorders such as eczema and/or psoriasis Autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis Hypertension Renal disease Liver disease
