To test for titanium toxicity a MELISA test can be done which is a scientifically proven test that can test for the presence of titanium hypersensitivity and measure the severity as well.

Blood testing can also be used to give a more accurate measurement of titanium reactions than patch testing for titanium toxicity.

Titanium toxicity can cause you to experience a number of symptoms, including fatigue, headaches, blurring of vision, respiratory inflammation, lymphedema, and hyperpigmentation of the nails and skin.

Metals that cause heavy metal poisoning are cadimium, arsenic, mercury and lead.

Heavy metal poisoning can occur because of industrial exposure, water or air pollution, foods, improperly coated food containers, medicines or ingestion of lead based paints.

The most common causes of heavy metal poisoning are.

Eating a lot of food that contains metals (fish).
Drinking water from older water supply systems.
Working with metals on the job.
Taking medications or supplements with high amounts of metallic elements.

Heavy metals that are poisonous include.

Arsenic. Common sources of exposure to higher-than-average levels of arsenic include near or in hazardous waste sites and areas with high levels naturally occurring in soil, rocks, and water.
Beryllium. Elemental beryllium has a wide variety of applications.
Cadmium.
Hexavalent Chromium.
Lead.
Mercury.

Most often the definition of toxic metals includes at least thallium, cadmium, manganese, lead, mercury and the radioactive metals.

The most common way to remove heavy metals from the body is through chelation.

Chelation therapy is a medical procedure (although it can also be performed at home) that involves the administration of chelating agents to remove heavy metals from the body by binding to molecules and allowing them to be dissolved and excreted in the urine.

Heavy metal poisoning is the result of exposure to heavy metals like lead, mercury and arsenic.

Heavy metals bind to parts of your cells that prevent your organs from doing their job.

Symptoms of heavy metal poisoning can be life threatening and they can cause irreversible damage.

Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain are common symptoms of acute metal ingestion.

Chronic exposure may cause various symptoms resulting from damage to body organs, and may increase the risk of cancer.
