How to determine the amount of cadmium in the human body

Dear friends!

This section is focused on cadmium (Cd),  one of the most dangerous natural poisons.

This trace element is located in the 2-nd group of the periodic system, under the number 48.

Cadmium was first derived by a German chemist Friedrich Stromeyer in 1817. He gave his discovery a name based on its similarity to zinc - the Latin word "cadmia" stands for zinc ores and zinc oxide. In 1818 this metal was discovered in Russia and called "cadmus".

As we mentioned before, cadmium is one of the most dangerous poisons. Being a product of radioactive decay, it comes both from the industrial facilities and the environment.

It is especially important to keep in mind that due to the high level of cadmium being present in superphosphate fertilizers and soil, this trace element often gets concentrated in tobacco. That is why absolutely all nicotine-dependent people actively accumulate this trace element in their bodies and put themselves at great risk.

It should be noted that besides cadmium, cigarettes also contain the increased amount of aluminum, cesium, chromium, cerium, iron, thorium, uranium, vanadium  and zinc.

This noxious metal gets into the human body mainly through inhalation, thus if you live or work in industrial areas, you should consigned checking your body for the presence of cadmium and other toxic trace elements.

The main source of cadmium for people is food, mostly phytogenic products (cereals, vegetables, tubers, etc.), as well as the wastewater and other industrial wastes, related to production and use of special alloys, automation, semiconductors, atomic and rocket engineering, anti-corrosion coatings and polymers.

This trace element can be found in such tissues of farm animals as liver and kidneys, yet, the greatest amount of cadmium is contained by mushrooms many people love so much.

It was proven that people who lack iron in their body, have the increased concentration of cadmium in the blood. It could be the reason why women have more cadmium contained in their blood, urine, kidneys, bones and other parts of the body than men.

Analyzing the requests made by that consumers regarding the element, this article is devoted to, we have detected the following variations:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

• how to eliminate cadmium present in the body;

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

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

• why is cadmium bad for the human body;

• what kind of harm cadmium can do to a human;

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

• why is cadmium bad for a human;

• the harm cadmium can do to a human;

• the harm cadmium can do to the human health.

The accumulation of this toxic trace element in the human body manifests itself through the following pathologies:

- atherosclerosis;

- arterial hypertension ;

- glucosuria;

- aminoaciduria, enzymuria;

- osteohalisteresis with reduced growth, waddling gait;

- osteodystrophy;

- rickets;

- hypochromic anemia;

- secondary immunodeficiency;

- hypogonadism;

- acute hepatotoxicity;

- nephropathy;

- pulmonary fibrosis;

- the weight loss;

- anorexia.

The exceeded level of cadmium in the human body manifests itself through the following negative cellular reactions:

- cadmium inhibits DNA, RNA and protein biosynthesis;

- cadmium induces lipid peroxidation;

- cadmium induces the breakage of DNA chains and chromosomal aberrations.

Cadmium also has the specific pathogenic effect on:

- the metabolism of amines in the central nervous system;

- the secretion of pituitary hormones, PRL, TSH and the others;

- the cellular immunity;

-  the synaptic transmission, etc.

Answering the questions of “how to learn the level of cadmium in the body / how to determine the amount of cadmium in the human body?”, there are a few methods used for such research.

- determining the content of cadmium in hair with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry;

- determining  cadmium in urine and blood;    

Making the choice of the study method, it is worth keeping in mind, that currently there is only one method, capable of providing the most accurate parameters on the bases of studying the inorganic samples, i.e. the innovative method of coupled plasma mass spectrometry (spectral analysis).

    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!
