Heavy Metal Testing
& Detox
Heavy Metal Testing and Detoxification is a comprehensive clinical protocol that identifies and systematically removes accumulated toxic metals from the body to restore physiological balance and immune function. We serve all of Denver from our practice located in our state-of-the-art wellness facility in Centennial. Collective Health Society warmly welcomes new patients from all communities to clear burdens like mercury, lead, and aluminum.

Why Detox is Essential
Heavy metals like mercury, lead, arsenic, and cadmium are neurotoxins that bio-accumulate in your organs, bones, and fat cells over time. They don’t just “leave” on their own; they must be actively and safely mobilized.
When left untreated, heavy metal toxicity can mimic or contribute to numerous chronic conditions, including:
- Neurological disorders (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s)
- Chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia
- Autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto’s)
- Kidney dysfunction
- Unexplained mood swings and anxiety
- Hormonal imbalances
We serve the entire Denver area from our state-of-the-art wellness facility in Centennial, specializing in helping patients safely lower their toxic load to reclaim their vitality.
Benefits of
Clinical Detox
Restored Mental Clarity
Mercury and lead are known to cross the blood-brain barrier, causing “brain fog” and cognitive decline. Safely removing these metals often results in improved focus, memory, and mental sharpness.
Increased Energy Levels
Heavy metals disrupt mitochondrial function—the power plants of your cells. Detoxification clears this interference, often leading to a significant and sustained increase in physical energy and stamina.
Immune System Reset
Metals can act as constant irritants to the immune system, leading to autoimmunity. Removing them lowers inflammation and allows your immune system to stop attacking self-tissue and focus on real threats.
Testing & Detox Therapies
We offer a multi-faceted approach combining advanced diagnostics with gentle, effective removal therapies.
OligoScan Tissue Analysis
This non-invasive, revolutionary technology uses spectrophotometry to measure heavy metals and mineral deficiencies directly in the cells of the palm of your hand, providing instant, real-time results.
Provoked Urine Challenge
The "Gold Standard" for measuring total body burden. We administer a chelating agent to mobilize stored metals, then collect a urine sample to see exactly how much metal your body is holding onto.
Oral Chelation Therapy
We prescribe targeted, gentle oral chelating agents (such as DMSA or DMPS) and natural binders that bind to heavy metals in the bloodstream and gut, allowing them to be safely excreted.
IV Nutrient Therapy
Detox requires massive amounts of energy. Our IV drips deliver high doses of Vitamin C, Glutathione, and B-vitamins directly to your cells to fuel the liver's detoxification pathways.
Hair Mineral Analysis
Hair testing provides a historical record of exposure over the last 3-4 months. It is excellent for identifying recent exposure to metals like methylmercury from fish consumption.
Lymphatic Drainage Support
The lymphatic system is the body's sewage system. We provide guidance on therapies and supplements to keep lymph moving, ensuring that mobilized toxins don't get stuck and reabsorbed.
Infrared Sauna Guidance
Sweating is one of the most effective ways to eliminate toxins through the skin. We integrate infrared sauna protocols into your detox plan to bypass the liver and kidneys for gentler elimination.
Biological Dentist Coordination
Detox cannot fully succeed if the source remains. We coordinate closely with your dental care to ensure all amalgam fillings are safely removed (SMART) before aggressive chelation begins.
The Detoxification
Journey
Assessment & "Open Pathways"
Before mobilizing toxins, we must ensure your exit routes (liver, kidneys, gut) are open. We start with testing and foundational support to prepare your body for detox.
Active Chelation Cycles
Once stable, we begin "cycles" of chelation. You take binding agents for a few days to pull metals out, followed by rest periods to allow your body to remineralize and recover.
Monitoring & Adjustment
We re-test periodically (usually every 3-6 months) to track the reduction in metal levels. We adjust your supplements and binders based on your progress and how you feel.
Maintenance & Protection
After reaching safe levels, we transition you to a maintenance plan designed to protect you from daily environmental exposures and keep your detox pathways robust.
