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:

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.

Vierte StufeHarmonisieren

Damit Körper, Geist und Seele wieder in Einklang zu bringen, sollte man sich selbst annehmen und wertschätzen. Dafür bieten wir Ihnen in der Alpstein Clinic ein ideales Umfeld, in dem Sie zu sich selbst finden und neue Kraft schöpfen können.

Dritte StufeRegenerieren und Stimulieren

Erholung fördern und Abwehr anregen: Mit einer grossen Palette an unspezifischen und spezifischem Immunstimulanzien, immunstärkenden Massnahmen wie Hyperthermie, Infusionen, Ozontherapie und Colonhydroptherapie stimulieren wir die humorale und zelluläre Abwehr. Das Anregen und Vitalisieren aller Organe und körperlicher Strukturen sind Komponenten unseres ganzheitlichen Konzeptes.

Zweite StufeAusleiten und Entlasten

Nun konzentrieren wir uns auf ein ausgeglichenes inneres Milieu des Körpers und schaffen damit die Basis für einen Heilungserfolg. Wichtige Instrumente sind dabei die Zahnsanierung, die Darmsanierung oder die Entgiftung der Organe. In dieser Phase setzen wir die Blut-Plasma-Doppelmembran-Filtration (INUSpherese®) und eine ganzheitliche Schmerztherapie ein und reduzieren schrittweise nebenwirkungsreiche Medikamente der konventionellen Medizin.

Step fourHarmonize

In order to bring body, mind and soul back into harmony, you need to accept and appreciate yourself. At the Alpstein Clinic, we offer you an ideal environment in which you can find yourself and recharge your batteries.

Stage threeRegenerate and stimulate

In this step, we promote recovery and stimulate the immune system: We stimulate the humoral and cellular defenses with a wide range of non-specific and specific immune stimulants, immune-boosting measures such as hyperthermia, infusions, ozone therapy and colon hydrotherapy. The stimulation and vitalization of all organs and physical structures are components of our holistic concept.

Step twoDetox and relieve

We now concentrate on creating a balanced internal environment in the body, thereby creating the basis for successful healing. Important instruments here are dental cleansing, intestinal cleansing and detoxification of the organs. In this phase, we use blood plasma double membrane filtration (INUSpheresis® ) and holistic pain therapy and gradually reduce the use of conventional medicines that have many side effects.

Stage oneAnalyse causes

In the first step, we work with you to get to the bottom of the possible causes of your complaints. We examine possible interference fields, toxic loads, environmental factors, deficiencies, malnutrition and stress factors. This is followed by a comprehensive physical and dental examination. This is followed by further diagnostic measures such as blood, stool, saliva and urine tests, thermography and other tools.
