Diagnostic - The Metal Detector

The Metal Detector test kits are designed especially to detect the presence of toxic heavy metals in the body using urine. They can also be used to detect heavy metals in most clear liquid medium. It is important to check the presence of heavy metals because they are the main cause of excessive free radical activity, which can cause damage to the healthy state of the body including depleting the body's immune system.

The Metal Detector test kits can also be used to confirm the presence of metals/minerals in food such as iron in rice, etc.

Toxic heavy metals can cause the following health problems:

• long term exposure to cadmium is associated with renal dysfunction. Cadmium is biopersistent and once absorbed remains resident for many years. High exposure can lead to obstructive lung diseases and has been linked to lung cancer. Cadmium may also cause bone defects in humans and animals. The average daily intake for humans is estimated as 0.15ï¾µg from air and 1ï¾µg from water;
  
  
• low exposure to chromium can irritage the skin and cause ulceration. Long term exposure can cause kidney and liver damage. It can also cause damage to circulatory and nerve tissues;
  
  
• high doses of copper can cause anemia, liver and kidney damage, and stomach and intestinal irritation. People with Wilson's disease are at greater risk for health effects from overexposure to copper;
  
  
• exposure to lead can lead to a wide range of biological defects in human depending on duration and level of exposure. The developing feotus and infants are far more sensitive than adults. High exposure can cause problems in the synthesis of haemoglobins, damage to the kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, joints, reproductive system and the nervous system. Studies have suggested that exposure to lead can cause up to a loss of 2 IQ points;
  
  
• inorganic mercury poisoning is associated with tremours, gingivitis and/or minor pyschological changes together with spontaneous abortion and congenital malformation. Monomethylmercury causes damage to the brain and the central nervous system while fetal and post-natal exposure have given rise to abortion, congenital malformation and development changes in young children;
  
  
• excessive amounts of nickel can be mildly toxic. Long term exposure can cause decreased body weight, heart and liver damage andskin irritation;
  
  
• exposure to high levels of arsenic can cause death. All types of arsenic exposure can cause kidney and liver damage and in the most severe exposure there is erythrocyte hemolysis;
  
  
• manganese is known to block calcium channels and with chronic exposure results in CNS dopamine depletion. This duplicates almost all of the symptomology of Parkinson's Disease.
  
  
• aluminium toxicity is associated with the development of bone disorders including fractures, osteopenia and osteomalacia

Primary Benefits

+ Track the heavy metal concentration of detoxification capacity over time as you supplement with Detoxamin Chelation Suppositories.

Test Procedure
The scientifically documented Heavy Metal (Urine) Test allows for the detection of free electrically active heavy metal ions in urine. This is a simple procedure, and can be completed in just ten minutes. Employed as an in vitro screen tool, this procedure is based on the dithizone reaction method which has been known to chemical science for more than 60 years.

Results and Interpretation

The Dithizone heavy metal reagent only binds to the unbound or free metal ions. In other words, those metals which have not been neutralized by the body and are therefore increasing the free radical production a million times, are screened. In a healthy body, with a functioning detoxification system, or in the absence of heavy metals, there should be no "high" or "medium" amounts of free metals found in the urine.

Thus the presence of a high to medium concentration of unbound metal ions may indicate a heavy metal toxicity problem. (The body is not able to cope anymore with free metal ions.)

If the screen does show a low metal concentration - even though the person shows all signs of heavy metal intoxication - it is very likely that, at this stage of metal toxicity, the body's detoxification capacities (through liver, kidneys, intestine, etc.) are totally exhausted. Each metal can occur in acute form. There may be further heavy metals, not visible for the time being and concealed behind such concentrations.

Importance of Detoxification
Unsuspected heavy metals are the cause of heart disease, cardiovascular disease, prostate issues, high blood pressure and so many more diseases and disorders. These heavy metals damage the endothelial blood vessel lining, the enzymes crucial in maintaining normal blood pressure, and channels in the cell membranes of blood vessels and heart cells. It is important to remove these toxins before such damage is done.

Detoxamin EDTA Chelation Suppositories
Chelation therapy is the best method for removing heavy metal toxins from the body. Detoxamin is a patented, over-the-counter chelation therapy product that effectively removes heavy metals and environmental toxins that are stored in your body.
