Heavy Metal Detoxifying
The Problem
Toxic heavy metals, such as mercury, cadmium and lead, are
associated with many serious diseases and health problems.
Cancer, heart disease, cardiovascular problems, birth defects, skin
disorders, nervous system related numbness, and mental and
neurological disorders represent only a few of the health problems
associated with toxic heavy metal poisoning.
Heavy metal poisoning can result from eating contaminated foods,
drinking coffee, smoking, and even breathing the air in a polluted
city. In fact there are a host of sources of toxic heavy metal
poisoning.
The Sources
Aluminum - cookware, beverages
in aluminum, cans, antacids, antiperspirants, bleached flour and
processed cheese
Arsenic - beer, pesticides,
cosmetics, tap water, fungicides, paint and table salt
Beryllium - plastics
manufacturing, electronics, steel alloys and volcanic ash
Cadmium - tobacco, tap water,
coffee, air pollution, seafood and auto exhaust
Lead - hair dyes, cigarette
smoke, tap water, paint, auto exhaust, inks and glazes
Mercury - amalgam fillings,
chlorine, seafood, fabric softener, adhesives, waxes, medications
and air pollution
Copper - copper water pipes,
birth control pills, swimming pools, intrauterine devices,
nutritional supplements (especially prenatal vitamins)
Nickel - hydrogenated oils
(margarine, commercial peanut butter and shortening)
The Solution
We recommend using Metal-X, which removes toxic heavy metals from
your body. Metal-X gently removes toxic heavy metals without
the need for medical supervision. Other detoxifiers may remove
toxic heavy metals very rapidly and this can lead to serious
secondary toxic heavy metal poisoning.
Unlike EDTA, Metal-X does not remove healthy essential metals and
minerals. Moreover, the ion exchanging humifulvate in Metal-X
helps supplement essential minerals.
Clinical testing has demonstrated that Metal-X is as effective as
EDTA after 30 days of use.
Detoxification (chelation) is typically accomplished with the
chemical EDTA. This treatment is usually administered
intravenously at a cost of approximately $2000.00. EDTA has
serious side effects of its own. These side effects can
include kidney and bone marrow damage, a decrease in calcium levels
and heart abnormalities. Therefore, EDTA is usually
administered under strict medical supervision.
Heavy Metals and Chelation
Heavy metals are known to have a toxic effect on the human body.
They are many and diverse, and include: lea, cadmium, mercury and a
host of other metals. They are present naturally, as part of the
environment in which we live, and also as pollutants. All of these
metals, and many more, have serious short and long-term negative
health effects. Some of the health conditions in which they have
been implicated are: cardiac disease, liver dysfunction, a
compromised immune system and certain conditions of the nervous
system.
Until now, the only way to get rid of heavy metals in the human body
was through an intravenous (IV) treatment, called “chelation.” That
treatment is accomplished by injecting the patient intravenously
with a powerful chemical, EDTA, over a period of weeks until, in the
opinion of the Health Care Practitioner, the heavy metal level has
reduced. In some cases, the side effects of EDTA can be worse than
the “cure”, sometimes leaving the patient with low blood pressure,
dangerously low calcium blood levels, inability to make new blood
cells (due to bone marrow damage), increased risk of abnormal
bleeding or development of blood clots, seizures, allergic or immune
system reactions, heart rhythm abnormalities and an unstable blood
sugar level.
Intravenous EDTA will also cause “mineral stripping”, in which good
minerals are removed along with heavy metals. This “mineral
stripping” can itself lead to conditions in which the side effects
can be worse than the cure. Until recently, there have been no
alternatives to IV chelation. Now there is Metal-X™, a new and
unique product comprising as the active ingredient Humifulvate™, to
get rid of heavy metal toxicity, while maintaining the body’s level
of the “good minerals”. Metal-X is the identical formula used in the
very successful European studies.
Published Research on Humifulvate
Most of the studies surrounding Humet™, the source of Humifulvate,
were conducted in Europe; some of these at the University of
Budapest. Subjects in these studies, who had been exposed to toxic
levels of lead, displayed marked reduction in lead
bio-concentrations after taking the active ingredients in Metal-X.
Additional studies on the effect of Metal-X’s active ingredients on
occupationally caused cadmium bio-burdens, showed that the Metal-X
ingredient not only reduced the level of cadmium found in the liver,
but decreased the observed uptake of cadmium in the study subjects.
Prepared from a natural material found in a 10,000 year old deposit
discovered around the shores of Lake Balaton in Hungary, this
compound is used in Europe to treat a wide variety of health
problems related to heavy metal toxicity. Humet is imported
exclusively by Life-Flo Health Care Products to provide superior
chelation without the side effects of EDTA chelation therapy.
