Heavy Metal Detox in Greenville, SC
Heavy Metal Detox at IHP Greenville. Dr. Hendry, DAOM — functional medicine, root-cause diagnostics, personalized care. Call (864) 365-6156.
Heavy metal detoxification addresses the accumulation of toxic metals — mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, and aluminum — that impair neurological function, cardiovascular health, immune regulation, and mitochondrial energy production. At Integrative Health Partners, Dr. Hendry uses functional medicine testing to confirm heavy metal burden and implements evidence-based natural chelation and elimination protocols, combined with ozone therapy and liver-supportive Chinese herbal medicine.
How Heavy Metal Detox Works
Heavy metal detox begins with provocative urine testing (urine collected after a chelation agent dose to mobilize bound metals) or hair mineral analysis for ongoing chronic exposure patterns. Based on findings, Dr. Hendry implements a sequenced protocol: first preparing elimination pathways (liver, kidney, and gut support), then introducing binding and chelation agents (DMSA for mercury and lead; modified citrus pectin for GI metal binding; chlorella, cilantro, and NAC for ongoing support), with ozone therapy and infrared sauna to enhance mobilization and elimination.
