ABSTRACT
Introduction: Pollution is a deformation of the natural condition of the earth with physical, chemical, and biological factors. Environmental pollution suppresses life balance and has a negative effect on living and the ecosystem with its effects on the food chain. Toxic metal pollution easily enters to the food chain and accumulates in the living body. Marine species are intensely exposed to toxic metals, because of its habitats and feeding habits, and metals accumulate in their body. Case: A 56-year-old obese male patient attended to Ortakent-Yahsi Family Health Center (Bodrum, Mugla, Turkey) with the symptoms of palpitation, constipation, long-term muscle contraction in January 2014. VEGA test resulted in toxic load accumulation. The pre-treatment and inter-treatment blood / serum levels of a group of trace / toxic elements were measured with Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP - OES) at Istanbul University Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty, Biophysics Department. Neural therapy and chelation therapy were initiated to the patient by his doctor at Yahsi Family Health Center in February 2014. Conclusion: There is limited data related with the trace / toxic contamination of marine food in humans. The evaluation of trace and toxic elements might have significant value in diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of the individuals in contaminated environment and especially in seafood consumers.
