How to determine the amount of aluminum in the human body

Dear friends!

This section is focused on such an essential trace element as aluminum, easy to find in 3-rd group of the periodic table under the number 13.

Aluminum is a silvery-white metal consisting of a single Al27 isotope. Its name comes from the Latin "alumen". The word which in the 5-th century BC gave its  name to aluminum alum, used for tanning.

The first samples of pure aluminum qua the scientific object were obtained in Denmark  in 1825

It should be noted that aluminum is the 4th most prevalent element and the most prevalent metal, it makes about 8.8% of the earth crustal mass.

Trying to decide if aluminum belongs to vital or toxic trace elements, it is worth focusing on the second group, since for the human health it is more essential to detect the excess of this trace element, rather than its lack.    

Regarding the vital necessity of aluminum for the human health, its concentration in the body should be extremely low, i.e. 50 mg per 60 kg of the body mass, which is more than we manage to accumulate through the food, tap water, we consume daily, as well as through medication, aluminum dishes we use, etc.

The  lack of aluminum can be signaled by the following pathologies:

- joint laxity;

- relaxation of ligaments;

- dyspoiesis of a skeleton,  organ membranes, etc.

 Generally the cases of  the excessive concentration of this trace element is more common,  thus is worth paying attention to its toxic property which do not benefit the health.

 Aluminum is an ecotoxicant with neurotoxic properties. Its excess in the human body leads to serious consequences and the damage of the nervous system which results in the memory loss, loss of self-control, suicide, Alzheimer's disease, etc.

Analyzing the requests made by that consumers regarding this issue, we have detected the following variations:

• how to determine the amount of aluminum  present in the human body;

• how to determine the amount of aluminum  in the human body;

• how to determine the amount of aluminum in the body;

• how to reduce the level of aluminum in the body;

• how to reduce the level of aluminum in the human body;

• how can I learn the level of aluminum in the human body;

• how the level of aluminum in the body can be determined;

• how to eliminate aluminum present in the body;

• how to learn the amount of aluminum  present in the human body;

• how to determine the limit of aluminum for a child and an adult;

• why is aluminum bad for the human body;

• why is aluminum bad for a human;

• why is the excess of aluminum bad for the human body;

• why is the excess of aluminum bad for a human;

• the harm aluminum can do to a human;

• the harm aluminum can do to the human health;

Let's consider the main pathologies that might be caused by the intoxication of the body with the excess of concentrated aluminum.

The first place is occupied by Alzheimer's disease which can be rightly called " the plague of the 21st century" since it started to affect quinquagenarians, who, by no means, can be considered old.

This disease, rooted in brain atrophy with focal disorders, is a kind of senile dementia. Speaking of the role aluminum plays in progressing of Alzheimer's disease, the patients with such syndrome usually demonstrated the excess of aluminum, manganese, scandium and silicon in the cortical and subcortical areas and the significant lack of selenium and zinc in the cerebral tissues in the same areas.

Many years of research allowed scientists to detect that, despite the genetic predisposition to Alzheimer's disease, the role crucial for progressing of the disease belongs to an abnormal form of transferrin G2. It is precisely this link that Al3 + is present in, provoking genotoxic changes caused by damaged DNA and derangement of intercellular metabolism

That is why it is so important to monitor the concentration of toxic trace elements in the body for people approaching their retirement, since the latest studies revealed a direct link between of concentration of aluminum, titanium, cadmium, nickel, lead and zinc with the subsequent lack of chromium, manganese, molybdenum and copper, the replacement of vital trace elements with the pathogenically toxic ones.

The second pathology caused by aluminum poisoning is called aluminosis.

This pathology progresses with systematic inhalation of the aluminum dust or aluminum oxides.

The category at the extra risk here are industrial workers, directly engaged in various technological processes which involve aluminum.

It is worth sparing a thought  for  one more group of "potential consumers" of aluminum - people who use such medical products containing this trace element as Almagel, Alumag, Multitabs peritonal, some kinds of the baby food, cosmetics, etc.

Answering the question on determination of the amount of aluminum in the human body, we must say that there is only one method capable of accurate quantifying of toxic and vital trace elements, i.e. the innovative method of coupled plasma mass spectrometry, of inorganic biological samples (hair, nails, bones, etc.).

    Toxic trace elements get systematically accumulated in the tissues, organs, bones and other body structures, therefore it is impossible to detect their exact presence through studies of the organic samples such as urine, blood, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, etc.

It also applies to the detection of the vital trace elements when their exact quantity needs to be determined in order to build an overall picture of the bioelemental status qua the aggregate of vital and toxic elements.

    That is exactly why the unique laboratory of elemental analysis aimed at detecting and monitoring the presence of toxic trace elements in the human body of was launched within the Clinic of the Ministry of Emergency Situations in 2007. The service was initially meant for employees of the huge structure accountable to the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

    The spectral analysis (you can learn more about the method by clicking this link http://www.mineralogram.com/bioelementnyystatus.html) is a unique method which provides the most  accurate information both on vital and toxic trace elements, present in a human body, which makes it possible to study the wide range of indicators instead of focusing on a certain single chemical element.

You can look into an example of the study done through the method of the spectral analysis by clicking this link.

It is a matter of great importance, since the trace elements constitute a single system and the lack of some elements causes the accumulation of the others, which results in replacement of the certain elements with the other once.

    As you might see, our project is fully devoted to the spectral analysis and its principle with regard to health control. We will gladly assist you at every step of this study, elucidate the obtained results and, if necessary, advise you on how to restore the elemental status of your body.

Our experts will be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding the method of spectral analysis!

The uniqueness of this method makes it possible to study samples sent from any part of the world as a usual letter. It is a truly unique tool of the health control.

Remember that the systematic control over the vital sighs it is the major step on the way to well-being and longevity.

We would like to thank you for your kind attention!

Yours faithfully, 33 Elementa.Ru
