METAL DECONTAMINATION
VENtanas first project opened in alliance with Medical Toxicologist Dr Cesar Rengifo. The project was devoted to treating and improving the quality of life of children affected by metal contamination from the oil refineries in the regions of Punto Fijo and Maracaibo, in Venezuela. Since 2010, five toxic metals were detected in children of those areas, and the contamination changed depending of the industrial surroundings. VENtanas provided timely decontamination treatments by sending the components to Dr Rengifo to create “customized formulas” for each child. VENtanas partnered with a laboratory in US to detect metals and meassure levels in each child through hair mineralograms testing. Due to metal contamination, these patients suffered of neurological disorders, severe behavioral disorders, autism, attention deficit and developmental delay. After 18 months of treatments and therapies, most of them were able to undergo regular schooling and live a life as any other child. Over 120 children were helped directly.
