This month, I have had two dog patients with severely elevated levels of the element strontium. The interesting part is\u00a0that these two dogs were fed a high amount of sardines and I highly suspect that strontium is coming from this source.<\/span><\/p>\n

Strontium<\/i><\/a><\/span> acts in the body the same way as calcium and deposits in bones.\u00a0Sardines and other small fish are eaten whole with the bones and that is why they are more likely a source of this toxic element.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The reason why I am concerned is that the radioactive isotope strontium 90 is a toxic carcinogen and it has been released in Japan\u2019s Fukushima disaster.<\/i><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
