How to determine the amount of barium in the human body

Dear friends!

In this section, we are honored to present you barium (Ba), a trace element, located in the 2-nd group of the periodic table, under the number 56.

The silver-white metal takes its name from a Greek word “barys”, which means "heavy". This metal was discovered by a Swedish chemist C. Scheele in 1774. Its natural forms are generally represented by minerals, i.e. barite and anterite.

This trace element is considered toxic and its concentration in the human body needs to remain extremely low. It is deposited mainly in the eye tissues, bone and muscle tissue, lungs, heart and liver.

Plants, growing in the zones of industrial mineral mining and secondary industry, involving barium (production of glass, ceramics, paper, rubber, metal, etc.) as well as drinking water are the accumulators of barium, which facilitate its getting into the human body.

Industrial workers and patients, taking  barium sulfate for X-ray examination, make the group at especial risk of  barium intoxication.

In some cases, the concentration of this trace element can be detected in low-quality infant formulas replacing breast milk during the nursing time.

Let's  have a look at the following pathologies caused by barium intoxication:

1) Acute baritosis, which is the intoxication with water-soluble barium salts. Its main victims usually are industrial workers. Among the symptoms of the pathology are copious salivation, burning in the mouth and esophagus, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea and nausea, convulsions and paralysis, bradycardia, etc.

2) Chronic baritosis, characterized by such symptoms as weakness, increased blood pressure, conjunctivitis and rhenites, stomach hemorrhages, loss of eyebrows and eyelashes, etc.

3) Barite pneumoconiosis, which main signs are chronic bronchitis combined with pneumonia, intoxication and disruption in the cardiovascular system and metabolism.

Speaking of the general risks of barium being concentrated in the human body, it is should be regally monitored in the bodies of industrial workers and young children.

Though this trace element can't be called very popular,  yet, analyzing the requests made by consumers regarding this issue, we have detected the following variations:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

• how to eliminate barium present in the body;

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

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

• why is barium bad for the human body;

• why is barium bad for a human;

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

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

• the harm barium can do to a human;

• the harm barium can do to the human health;

Answering the principle question of “How to determine the amount of barium in the body of an adult or a child?” we must state that it is done through the methods used for studying blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid and inorganic compounds, hair, nails, teeth, depending on the situation.

    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
