Health authorities (WHO 1974, Florence, Italy) estimate that at least 90% of all chronic diseases can be attributed to environmental pollution in one way or another. Heavy Metals are the major source for the production of free radicals as well as undermining the internal environment and body chemistry. Heavy Metals reduce the efficacy of medical treatment by up to 60%
There is little hope for antioxidants and mineral supplements to do their job properly, if the body is burdened with heavy metals!
The scientifically documented Heavy Metal Test(Screen) allows the detection of free electrically active heavy metal ions in an aqueous solution by means of a simple procedure and in just a few minutes. This exploratory procedure, employed as an in vitro screen tool, is based on the dithizone(1) reaction method which has been known to chemical science for more than 60 years.

Heavy Metal Test: Screening Instructions
|
|
Open test-tube and place one of the small square
Test Paper into test tube solution.
|
|
|
Close test tube and shake gently until solution turns green.
(Within 30 to 60 seconds)
|
|
|
Then add 5 ml with the pipette of the liquid to be
tested(water, saliva, urine,) into the test-tube. ( The test-
tube is now filled up to the 6ml line) Shake vigorously for
15-30 seconds, stop and allow the solution to react for 1
minute.

Evaluation of Heavy Metal Screen
 |
Color remains green: No heavy metal ions
|
 |
Water Test
Distinctive color: Purple, pink, beige, red. High
heavy metal concentration
(ca. 5ppm-3ppm)
|
 |
Urine Test
Color remains green: No heavy metal ions
|
 |
Urine Test
Distinctive color: Purple, pink, beige, red. High
heavy metal concentration
(ca. 5ppm-3ppm)
|
INTERPRETATION
Any color change deviating from green viewed directly below the surface level of the test tube represents the presence of free or unbound metal ions (Cu, Zn, Cd, Hg, Pb, Mn, Co, or Ni). The type of heavy metal present is secondary, since all free metal ions are toxic to our body.
