As documented now in several of my editorials, the primary causes of the chronic disease pandemic are the toxic metals, metalloids, and chemicals polluting the environment. The entire population is exposed and there are no control groups. Clinical efficacy requires recognizing how much of a patient's disease burden is due to toxins. In this editorial I propose a novel approach to assessing toxin load in the general population: determine who is exposed, use conventional laboratory tests to determine the amount of damage from the toxins, and finally, work with the patient to decrease exposure, measure specific toxins when appropriate, and increase toxin elimination.
正如我在几篇社论中所记录的那样，慢性病大流行的主要原因是污染环境的有毒金属、类金属和化学物质。全体人口都暴露于这些物质中，而且不存在对照组。临床疗效需要认识到患者疾病负担中有多少是由毒素引起的。在这篇社论中，我提出一种评估普通人群毒素负荷的新方法：确定哪些人受到了暴露，使用传统实验室检测来确定毒素造成的损害程度，最后，与患者合作以减少暴露，在适当的时候检测特定毒素，并增加毒素的清除。
