Heavy metal toxicity is a very real issue for residents of Butte, MT. Some of the dust, soil, and water were contaminated as a result of the town's mining history. The folks who have lived their lives here may start to wonder about their personal exposures. Currently, this topic has been brought to light, and people are discussing the real health concerns of chronic low-level or intermittent exposures to metals.
Just a reminder, the Thermography Center of Montana is offering screenings in Butte this month.

I like how they mention some of the philosophical foundations of our medicine. The principles of naturopathic medicine set us apart from other healthcare practitioners, and the truth of this philosophy rings from the mountain tops.
