Toxins, Early Diagnostics andthe Health Effects of Subtoxic Exposure
Dear Patients,
Toxins are chemical substances that can harm the body. They originate from various sources, such as the environment, food or everyday products. They are especially common in solvents, which are found in cleaning agents, paints, adhesives and even cosmetics. Many people are exposed to these substances daily, often without being aware of the potential health consequences.



Subtoxic exposure – the silent risk
Subtoxic exposure – the silent risk
Particularly concerning are so-called subtoxic doses, amounts that do not cause acute symptoms but may lead to long-term health damage.
Typical effects include:
- Chronic fatigue
- Difficulty concentrating
- Sleep disturbances
- Increased strain on the liver, kidneys and nervous system
Over time, high toxin exposure can increase the risk of metabolic disorders, neurological conditions, cardiovascular disease and even cancer.
Why early diagnostics are crucial
One of the most important steps in prevention is the early detection of toxic exposure,
even before symptoms appear. Key diagnostic tools include:
- Blood and urine analysis to detect metabolites from solvents or heavy metals.
- Liver and kidney function tests to assess the detoxification organs.
- Neurocognitive tests to identify subtle changes in nervous system function.
- Detailed exposure history to document occupational and personal sources of contact.

Toxic metals and pesticides
In addition to solvents, toxic metals such as lead, mercury or cadmium pose a serious health risk. These substances can enter the body through the environment, food or workplace exposure and even small amounts may cause long-term harm.
Pesticides and insecticides, widely used in agriculture, can make their way into food and drinking water in small amounts. They have been linked to neurological disorders, hormonal imbalances and increased cancer risk.
OligoScan – an innovative early diagnostic tool
The OligoScan test is a modern, non-invasive method for directly measuring toxic metals in tissue.
It allows for quick analysis of elements such as lead, mercury, cadmium or aluminum, without requiring a blood sample.
Advantages include:
Early detection:
Subtoxic burdens can be identified before symptoms appear.
Monitoring:
Repeated testing can track detox processes or prevent new exposures.
Personalized prevention:
Results help guide dietary, lifestyle and environmental adjustments
Time efficiency:
The test takes just a few minutes and is completely painless.
Conclusion
Toxins, especially in subtoxic doses, can have serious long-term health consequences. Only through early diagnostics and reducing exposure can the risk of chronic illness be effectively minimized. Prevention means taking the body seriously before it begins to show symptoms.
