New Delhi: If you live in Delhi-NCR, there's more terrible news coming up for you. A whopping 41 % of the Delhi and NCR population are seen to be suffering from severe heavy metal toxicity, according to a survey led by Daivam Wellness.
The shocking findings suggest tremendously high levels of air and soil pollution, food contamination, plastic usage etc in the region.
Out of one hundred sixty five patients, sixty eight patients were found positive for some sort of severe metal toxicity. Metals like mercury , aluminium, arsenic , lead, and cadmium were the most commonly found metals in these patients.
Before you surprise, apocalyptic pollution is seen as the main reason for increasing metal toxicity in human body. The reason these findings are more than a cause for worry is because they can easily stimulate multiple organ damage and lead to serious health issues.
The survey that was done over a period of Six months, from May 2019 to October 2019 covering people from age group of 20 to 65 years, has currently sparked off a scare.
Health horrors like cancer can also result from this. It may even result in congenital defects and adverse pregnancies. Such high levels of metals with in the human body can also cause to chronic kidney diseases, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, cardiac diseases, infertility and epilepsy.
Doctor Alok Chopra, Medical Director, Daivam Wellness said, "Along with contaminated food, medicines, plastic ware, high level of environmental pollution – particularly air, soil and water, has enlarge the exposure of heavy metals. Whereas even before running the tests, we knew that individuals living in Delhi-NCR, one of the most polluted areas of the world, will have some metal toxicity, but the final result surprised us. 41 per cent is a way too high figure and definitely entails emergency measures."
Amid this toxic health hazard, children are the most vulnerable lot. consultants say, their exposure to even low concentrations during intrauterine and early childhood may end up in lifelong physical disabilities.
According to the Lancet Commission on Pollution and Health, contaminated water, air and soil are responsible for about 9,000,000 early deaths, that is concerning sixteen per cent of global deaths. What's more? About ninety two per cent of these early deaths because of environmental toxicity occur in low and middle-income countries which incorporate India.
Dr Chopra urged that if somebody has symptoms like muscle or joint pain, headache, mood swings, persistent tiredness, constipation, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, poor immunity, unexplained hair loss and skin issue, frequent deep seated allergies or illness is worsening without any reason then the person should consider a metal toxicity scan.
"To notice metal toxicity, we use OLIGOSCAN, a toolthatprovides the real-time percentage of metals like Mercury, Magnesium, Iron, Aluminium, Lead and different minerals that are present in the body such as Calcium, Magnesium and Zinc," he said.
Once it's established you are toxic infested, ultra modern technologies like hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can be utilised to treat the patient.
The group cautioned the toxic exposure is only set to rise in Delhi-NCR in the coming days. Brace up, you are living in an apocalyptic world.
