How to determine the amount of thallium in the human body

Dear friends!

This article is focused on thallium (Tl) a toxic chemical element located in the 3-rd group of the periodic table, under the number 81. It can't be called very popular but it should be considered rather dangerous.

Thallium is a rare trace element, a gray-silver shiny metal. Its natural form is based on two stable isotopes, Tl203 (29.5%) and Tl205 (70.5%). This toxic trace element was derived in France in 1862 and got its name from a Greek word "thallos" which means "green".

Thallium is a highly-toxic element which causes the violation of Na + and K +, the main cations in the human body, responsible for intercellular energy metabolism and other body mechanisms so important for all of us.

It is worth noting that this trace element was not detected in the most part of samples, provided by patients under study, even when it came to residents of industrial cities and regions with the hostile environment.

Yet, we should keep in mind that using household cleaners, chemicals for rodent control, employment in industries involving smelting of sulphide ores, coal burning, producing cement or semiconductors are just a part of the factors that put us at risk of contamination with thallium.

It is important to remember, that both industrial workers and the employees of sanitary and epidemiological inspection, who come into regular contact with rat poison have to regularly check their body. The same goes for cosmetologists due to the presence of thallium in depilatory creams they work with.

 Thallium mostly gets into the body with food or through contaminated hands. This trace element is often used by criminals because the dose  as little as 600 mg is big enough to kill any human.

Analyzing the requests made by consumers regarding this trace element we have detected the following variations:

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

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

• how to check the level of thallium in the body;

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

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

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

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

• how to eliminate thallium present in the body;

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

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

• why is thallium bad for the human body;

• what harm can thallium do to the human body;

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

• what harm can thallium do to a human;

• why is thallium bad for a human;

• the harm thallium can do to a human;

• the harm thallium can do to the human health.

Since thallium is the strongest neurotoxicant, its accumulation in the body primarily causes the destruction of  the nervous system, changes in the activity of enzymes and protein synthesis followed by severe irreversible consequences.

 Thallium tends to accumulate gradually in the human body  and when its critical level in the body is reached we might witless the clinical performance similar to acute poisoning. The major organs depositing thallium are the kidneys, testes, liver, spleen, prostate gland, brain, hair and nails.

The toxicological aspects of thallium manifests themes through the following condition:

- Thallotoxicosis, i.e. excessive content of thallium in the human body followed by severe consequences (paralysis, hair loss, gene damage, infertility, kidney damage, etc.).

Answering the main questions of “how to determine the amount of is in the human body / how to check the level of thallium in the body”, we shall list the following samples used for such study:

- blood, semen, CSF and urine;

- hair, nails, teeth studied with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.

The second method currently is at the forefront of  monitoring  the gradual accumulation of toxic trace elements in the human body. It  really is unrivalled with regard to granularity and accuracy of the data provided.

    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!
