NATURAL PHARMACY > HEAVY METAL DETOX

	Fulhealth - heavy metal personal test kit (8 tests) Most heavy metals can be detected by a colourmetric system.  Via the urinary tract, your body will naturally eliminate a small proportion of your toxic metal build up and so this can be a very accurate way of determining your toxicity.   Heavy metals that may be present in your urine are not visible to the naked eye.  Using a chemical called ‘dithazone’ we can ‘paint’ these heavy metals with a colour making it visible. The dithazone reacts differently to each metal, so for Mercury you will always get a yellow colour and for Copper a brown colour. This test is an accurate way to measure your body’s helating ability.   Taking the Multi Metal D-tox will optimise your chelating processes and the test can show you this by the colour green (no heavy metals) gradually moving back into your test results.   The difference between the Heavy Metal Test Kit and other methods for detecting heavy metals (Atomic Absorption Spectro Photometry etc.) is that this Kit will exclusively detect ionic and free radical generating heavy metals.    This means that a needed element such as Zinc will not be detected with the test kits but ionic Zinc that produces free radicals will be. Many companies all over the world are offering a chelation or oral chelation therapy.    With the Heavy Metal Test Kit we finally have a system which allows us to see whether the claims made are true or not by economically performing a test of our own.   We know that a change in colour of the green test solution indicates the presence of ionic metals. Any product that is able to 'chelate' (neutralise) ionic metals must be able to maintain a green colour once the chelate is added to the sample containing the contaminate.   Verifying the Heavy Metal Test Kit Efficiancy 1. Take a fresh coated test tube, remove the cap and add approximately 0.5 ml (12 drops) of Solvent to the test tube. 2. Replace the cap and shake the test tube vigorously for about 30 seconds to effect dissolution of Dithizone in the solvent. Invert the test tube and let it stand using the cap as the base for another 30 seconds. The solution should now be green and fresh and ready for use. 3. Remove the test tube cap and add 2-3mL of distilled or deionised water sample and add it to the test tube. Replace the test tube cap. 4. Shake vigorously for about 5 seconds, and then invert the test tube using the cap as the base and let it stand so that the solution can be allowed to separate. 5. Read the top layer and compare it with the chart provided with the stand. It should read Green indicating no ionic Heavy Metals. 6. Now place a piece of copper wire (with insulation removed) in the test tube and shake vigorously for about 5-10 seconds. 7. The test will now show the presence of copper. This also indicates the aggressive nature of water in leaching metals. Testing Mediums Urine, Saliva, Perspiration and even a blood sample may be tested for Heavy Metal using the same procedure.The Heavy Metal Test Kit can also be used to determine the environmental sources of the contamination in aqueous solutions such as tap water. Since all Heavy Metal ions are water soluble, solids like food items, porcelain dishes, dust samples from carpets, wall paints and wall paper etc. can be tested for Heavy Metals after soaking them in distilled water. In addition to being an initial analytical screening tool for Urine, Saliva, Perspiration and Blood the test is also useful for finding the causes of contamination in the patient's environment. Diphenylthiocarbazone (Dithizone) In 1925 Helmut Fischer of the Siemens Concern in Berlin succeeded in detecting heavy metal ions by means of a dithizone process. As a reagent, dithizone is able to indicate the presence of heavy metal ions in qualitative and quantitative terms. Dithizone, in binding the metals (binds to Cu, Zn, Cd, Hg, Pb, Mn, Co, Ni,), form coloured complexes in the interior of the molecule which are soluble in nonpolar organic solvents. The coloration of these solutions is very intense, its particular coloration determined by the atomic radius of the respective metal present in the complex. The reaction times of the heavy metal ions vary; therefore, depending on their respective concentrations, different colorations may occur from which one can, in addition to the qualitative conclusions also semi quantitative ones regarding the contaminant. (At the lower ppm level, even at the ppb level). QTY:
