The Ionic Heavy Metal Test (IHMT)

Development and Test Procedure

Why did we develop the Ionic Heavy Metal Test (IHMT)?

Once we became aware of the problems ionic metals can cause in animals or human beings in general and especially so through their ability to increase the production of free radicals a million-fold, we also realised, that there was no simple, fast, reliable and inexpensive method available to detect ionic metals, either in the environment or in animals and ourselves.

All test apparatus for hair analysis, blood and urine analysis etc. are very expensive and hence inaccessible to the individual health practitioner and patient. Furthermore none of these methods will allow us to test for ionic metals ONLY and to the exclusion of chelated metals. Metals which are bound to amino acids, for example, and hence electrically neutral, can be either utilised by the human body or else eliminated. Once they are chelated and eliminated they no longer can over produce free radicals.

 The reason for the inability of these devices to differentiate between the two  forms of metals (ionic and/or chelated) lies in the fact  that samples have to be ashed before they can be investigated in atomic absorption spectro photometers, or by devices employing electron stripping or other physical detection methods.

Ashing means that all organic compounds are incinerated, i.e. burnt, destroyed. Hence although we get an overall impression of the metals present we have no idea how many of these metals are chelated and how many ionic. And I believe that it is this kind of approach which prevented us until now to be able to see the real picture. The real picture is that some people can chelate (or bind to an amino acid) ionic metals effectively and others can't. This also explains why some people are very much affected by environmental metals and others are not.

 What we needed was a method for the detection of ionic metals exclusively in order to determine whether a body could cope with ionic (environmental) metals or not.

The IHMT allows us to SEE ionic metals only and to the exclusion of chelated metals. If the green TESSOL (the TESt SOLution…this is where I took the name TESSOL from) turns red, for example, we know that the body cannot chelate effectively ionic transition metals which therefore get stuck in tissues and produce avalanches of free radicals. When we give the right amount of the right chelating agent over the right period of time, or help the body to chelate by improving protein digestion and amino acid production etc., we will SEE how the test turns green. Green is the colour that indicates that the body chelates all ionic metals.

Thus, the IHMT provides a means not only for the detection of ionic metals, but also for monitoring and controlling the therapeutic approach. We do not need to guess whether kind and quantity of a remedy for a problem may be correct, or the necessary length of the therapy. All these aspects of a therapy can be clearly observed and individually adjusted by means of the IHMT. The average person (who takes one tablet three times per day –and who is largely an invention of the drug companies) becomes a true individual again.

Further down, I will show you and explain to you how we can establish the approximate quantity of ionic metals present and how we can determine the amount of CH77 necessary to chelate or neutralise all electrically charged metals we have detected. In the case of water or urine we can add a small amount (several drops) of CH77 to the sample and perform a new test. If we added sufficient amounts of CH77 to bind all ionic metals the test will now be green. If a person with a red urine test drinks sufficient amounts of CH77 that urine test will be green within one to two hours.

The Ionic Heavy Metal Test (IHMT)

 The Ionic Heavy Metal Test (IHMT) is based on the oldest chemical method for the detection of ionic transition metals, the Dithizone System.

The system is considered to be so accurate that it is still being used today in laboratories around the world. It is also used to calibrate devices for the detection of heavy metals such as atomic absorption photo meters and other metal detection devices as used in hair and blood analysis, for example.

The great advantage of the IHMT is that:

1. it is very fast and inexpensive and can be done by anyone anywhere (laboratory independent)

2. it indicates ionic heavy (and/or transition) metals (the ‘bad’ metals) only

3. it gives us an immediate indication of chelation ability

4. it allows us to monitor the progress of our therapy

5. it allows us to monitor the environment and SEE where the metals may come from

 The IHMT has been evaluated twice by the University of Newcastle (Australia), Department of Chemistry.

Here is in part what the evaluation says:

____________________________________________________________

This report is intended to be an independent assessment of the claims of performance of a novel detection system for some transition metals. These materials are commonly known as toxic or heavy metals particularly when discussed as health or environmental risks.

The limitations of this report are as follows.

·                   All testing was carried our by competent technicians under professional supervision. The particular requirements of testing for trace quantities of water borne materials demand considerable expertise and experience with the necessary techniques and controls. Hence any expectations that untrained or inexperienced operators should achieve the same reliability and accuracy are unrealistic.

·                   All testing was carried out using highly purified water known to be free of any dissolved material. It is unlikely that any non laboratory sample could be as free of any contamination as this water. Only precisely measured quantities of each of the metals under test were introduced with no other interferences present. Hence extrapolation of these findings to natural water samples which may be of highly complex matrix could be subject to some uncertainty.

·                   Not withstanding these limitations it was found that the system shows remarkable sensitivity for such a simple procedure.

·                   The specific results were obtained by using the system in our laboratory.

______________________________________________________

 Since saliva and urine are very complex substances, we strongly encourage users of the IHMT not to put too much emphasis on the kind of ionic metal present, but rather determine whether ionic metals are present or not.

It is really the chelation ability of a person which is in question. If people can chelate ionic metals properly, they will be able to eliminate  or, in the case of iron, zinc, copper, etc. use the metal properly without that metal building up to toxic levels and producing avalanches of free radicals.

 NOTE: A healthy person will always be a good chelator and hence the test will be always green!

 The human body can get rid of ALL dangerous metals, provided it has the right tools.  These tools are chelation ability and pH balance with proper nutrition as the basis.

For example, brittle bones in older people may be much more a question of acidity and lowered chelation ability than a lack of the metal calcium. Acidity and lowered chelation ability is often caused by inefficient digestion. Here it is especially important to note that the hydrochloric acid (HCl) content decreases in the stomach with age which means that proteins can be less effectively digested. If proteins are not properly digested less amino acids can be produced. Less amino acids in turn means lowered chelation ability. Bad protein digestion also means increased acidity. Please refer to articles on pH balance (alkalinity/acidity) and to our book Metals, Health and Ageing.

The IHMT consists of a bottle of TESSOL (the green test solution) and a number of test tubes as well as pipettes to transfer the test substance into the tube.

 Testing water

 Any water can be tested easily and simply for the presence of ionic metals. Preferably the water should have a pH range of 7.0 to 7.5. However, our experience over many years of testing and with thousands of individual tests has shown that most ionic metals show up even if the pH is a bit out of range, e.g. 6.0 to 8.0.

One metal which reacts most acutely to acids is lead. We will discuss later how we can make certain that lead does not escape our detection method.

 Test procedure

 1. remove white cap from test tube

2. from the TESSOL bottle fill about 0.8 ml (15 drops) in the test tube

3. insert 3.5 ml of water by means of the graduated pipette provided.

6. shake vigorously and observe colour

 If coulour changes away from green, ionic metals are present. If colour stays green…NO ionic metals present or below detection limit.

NOTE: you can vary the detection limit by using more or less TESSOL. If you use 10 drops of TESSOL only, the system will react more critically, but you are also loosing ‘visibility’, i.e. the coloured band on top of the liquid will be smaller. If you use 20 drops, the coloured band will be easier to observe, but you loose sensitivity.

Mercury can be detected with 5 drops of TESSOL.

 Preparations for testing urine

 This test is as simple and as easy to perform as the water test. The client provides a urine sample either directly in the clinic, or where not possible, brings a small urine sample (20 ml is more than sufficient) to the clinic. Preferably in a plastic sample jar, since ionic metals can migrate into the pores of the glass of a glass container. Once they are in these pores, they are not available for testing any more, unless treated specifically in a laboratory.

  A urine sample first thing in the morning is preferable although a bad chelator (someone who cannot handle ionic metals very well at all) can be detected at any time. No matter when you collect the sample, the test result will be always a strongly coloured ring above the liquid phase of the sample (see picture of actual tests). The reason for the strong colour is an abundance of ionic metals. The stronger the colour, the more ionic metals are present.

Another important measurement is pH. If urine pH is too low (5.0 and below) the body is very much out of balance and metals may be masked. Hence we need to measure pH before we conduct an ionic metal test. The test may be green, for example, despite lead being present.

Lead shows up bright reddish/brown, but will turn green again when adding acid (e.g. a couple of drops of lemon juice) to the sample. Here is how you can prove that to yourself.

1. perform an IHMT by using demineralised or distilled water as the sample

2. add a small piece of lead (e.g. from a fishing weight) and shake vigorously

3. the test will turn reddish/brown

4. now add a drop or two of acid from a lemon, for example, and shake

5. you will see how the red colour changes back to green again

In case of lead the entire liquid phase will take on a red hue (see pictures of actual tests). That is very typical for lead and hence makes the metal easy to distinguish from other metals.

Please always keep in mind that an acid body is difficult to chelate. If you want to chelate a person successfully, alkalise the body first.

 Preparation for testing other substances

  Any aqueous solution can be tested without prior preparation. Preferably the pH of the substance to be tested is within an approximate range of 7.0 to 7.5.

            Soil: take some soil and place in a plastic container together with some demineralised or distilled water. Shake for a while, allow the solids to settle and test.

Paint: take a speck of paint, place in plastic container (e.g. test tube) together with some demineralised or distilled water. Shake vigorously for a while and test.

Alternatively take a white cloth, place some TESSOL on the cloth and wipe over painted surface. If colour changes - metals are present. Make sure that the cloth itself does not contain any metals, i.e. observe if there is a colour change before you wipe over the paint.

Always make sure that TESSOL does not affect the paint.

Dust: collect some dust from a window sill, vacuum cleaner etc. and proceed as with paint or soil.

 Colours                                                    

·        If the colour of the test changes away from green and if it is bright = large amounts of ionic metals present.                 

·        If colour changes slightly (greyish/brownish/murky green) = low amounts of ionic metals present.

          ·        If colour stays absolutely green = no ionic metals present.  

 Make sure that the green colour is really green (see colour chart). If it is murky green, ionic metals are still present in small amounts.       

 NOTE: please be aware that ionic metals can be trapped in tissues through their electric charge and are simply not eliminated.  Hence they may not show up in a test. The IHMT shows green, but the metals are there…just locked up in tissues or cells.

In this case we use CH-77 in conjunction with an alkalizer (e.g. sodium bicarbonate and citric acid, see Chapters VI and VII). You can go to a super market and purchase these two items. Mix approximately one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda in a glass half full with water. Then add one teaspoon of citric acid. Careful it fizzes and runs over if there is too much water in the glass.

We have developed a special mixture of various alkalizing and chelating substances which we appropriately call Alkalizer. Take a teaspoon full of Alkalizer in a glass of water together with approximately 20 ml of CH77and test your urine again 20 minutes later. Test the sample first for pH (which now should be much more in the alkaline range) and then for ionic metals. If the colour of the test now changes, we know that ionic metals were trapped in cells and intercellular liquids of the body.

If the test, on the other hand, stays green you should be ok.   Always keep in mind that the simple things are often the best in life. Just do a simple test and if the test shows ionic metals, start alkalizing and chelating.

 Colours of the IHMT

Initially the colour chart was developed using spikes i.e. exactly measured amounts of ionic metals. Further down is a colour chart showing the actual colours of individual metals. We used copper, zinc, lead, and mercury. You can create these colours yourself by simply placing small pieces of the individual metal in small plastic jars containing distilled water. Shake vigorously and take some of the water as your test substance.  Place 3.5 ml in the test tube together with 15 drops of TESSOL. Shake vigorously and observe the developing colour.

You also can place small metal pieces directly in the tube together with distilled water and TESSOL. Shake vigorously and see colour developing.

We tried to match these colours as good as possible with colours available on a computer.

The colours represent from left to right:

         NO Ionic Metals    Zinc    Lead    Copper    Cadmium     Mercury

           Please keep in mind that you may not find the exact same colours in every day reality. Tap water may contain zinc, copper, lead, cadmium and other metals in a toxic brew. That is true for urine as well. Hence what we will see is a mixed colour which may contain a variety of ionic metals.

The colour may be pinkish/red or reddish/brown, depending on whether lead and zinc are predominant or zinc and copper. Sometimes you may see the typical copper colour in drinking water or urine. That often happens when copper water pipes corrode. High levels of copper in tap or drinking water in turn causes copper overloads in those drinking the water.

The picture on the left is showing two individual tests conducted on two taps in the same house (15 drops of TESSOL). It is rather obvious that one tap has a high zinc load and the other a higher copper load plus other metals.

In principle,  to us it does not matter all that much which metal may be present, since we know by now that ALL these metals can pose a severe health risk if the person drinking that water is a bad chelator. On the other hand, if we can chelate all these metals, they can be used for the benefit of the body or if unbeneficial can be eliminated.

 Here is an interesting and important observation when testing tap water: in the morning the levels of ionic metals in your tap water are very high when opening the tap for the first time. The colours are very strong and bright. Once we have let the water run for some minutes, we will see how the colour of the IHM Test moves towards green. The reason: water is very corrosive. As it stands in copper or galvanised iron pipes over night, it will dissolve large amounts of metals.

Hence do not drink the water immediately in the morning or else add the proper amount of CH77 to chelate all ionic metals (and get rid of halogens such as chlorine and fluoride).

In China I found tap water often to be acidic. Whilst writing this book I am living on the Campus of the Guangxi Medical University in Nanning, South China. Whenever I test our tap water it shows the colours above…day or night and no matter whether the water is running or not. People are unaware as yet that this water pollution together with the air pollution etc. is a disaster unfolding. Part of that disaster can be seen already. When walking through the grounds of the University I come across an unusually large number of people who have suffered a stroke. Some of them are still quite young. Metals and cardio-vascular diseases cannot be separated!

My wife is a lecturer for cell biology and genetics at this University. In her department of eight people, two suffer from cancer. Out of five women, two can not conceive. Out of 35 young students we tested only one young woman from the country side showed a nice green colour. All the others were more or less heavily contaminated.

We have to be careful as well with galvanised iron water tanks and roofs on which rain water may be collected. Rain water is often acid nowadays due to excessive levels of carbon dioxide in the air. The acid rain water will dissolve large amounts of metals used for roofs and tanks.

Something similar is true for calcium carbonate in concrete tanks. The more acid the water collected in these tanks, the more calcium carbonate will be liberated and end up in our body. If the body cannot chelate ionic calcium, calcifications will occur including hardening of the arteries.

 Saliva Test

              Here are some of my experiences with saliva. A lady had a mouthful of amalgam fillings. She chewed chewing gum and we collected some of her saliva. Expecting a strong mercury colour, I was most surprised to find that the sample stayed green. We left the sample sitting on the desk and as we chatted along, we could observe how the colour slowly changed and started to show the typical mercury colour. So, please, keep that in mind when testing people with amalgam fillings. Sometimes it may take a little while until the true colours shows.

             The reason for the delayed reaction may be also due to other metals in the amalgam of a filling. Please keep in mind that amalgam consists of approximately 50% mercury plus silver, copper and other metals.  And there may be other reasons for the delay such as enzyme activity, pH etc.

We also found that adding 2 ml of demineralised or distilled water to 1 ml of saliva gives a good result - and the saliva sample required is very small. Most readers will be aware of the dangers and problems with mercury from amalgam fillings

 Procedure

1.    Chew chewing gum for a couple of minutes              

2.    Collect  a small amount of saliva (say 1 ml)

3.    Add approximately 2 ml of demineralised or distilled water

4.    Perform test

5.    observe colour

Urine Test

I know that the human mind is always curious. It wants to know. And hence it is not just happy with the knowledge that metals are present, but it wants to know which metals are present. For someone involved in quantum medicine (recognizing the importance of sub atomic events, electron configurations, free radicals etc.) the important question is: which form are the metals in? Are they chelated by organic molecules, for example, and hence electrically neutral - or are they in their ionic and electrically charged form?

 Until we developed the IHMT this question was rarely ever asked. Why? Why was that question not asked?

We must see the answer in the fact that the instruments used for a metal analysis are not suitable for a differentiation between ionic and chelated metals. A urine, blood, hair or tissue sample has to be ashed, which means that all organic compounds have to be eliminated by micro wave treatment, for example, before an analysis can be made. Hence all remaining metals are unbound, unchelated, elemental, free, or whatever else we want to call these metals not bound to organic molecules.

Furthermore, the knowledge that ionic metals can produce avalanches of free radicals through the metal mediated Fenton reaction was just not well known in medicine.

Actually the important role of free radicals in health and disease is still little understood by most health practitioners let alone their over production through ionic metals.

So here now is the simple truth:

 If the TESSOL of the IHMT changes colour away from green ionic and free radical producing metals are present. The aim of any healing approach must be to get the test back to green because green means NO ionic transition metals detected or present!

The picture shows the proper green of distilled water, free of any ionic metals.

 That is what we are aiming for. But how can we change a red test result into a green test result? We will discuss this a little bit further down.

We also have discovered that the IHMT can show the anti oxidant status of a liquid such as water or urine as well. When the liquid phase below the coloured ring assumes an orangey/yellow colour, large amounts of free electrons may be present.

These electrons are available to pair electrons in atoms and hence to stop the free radical chain reaction. You can use ionized (electron enriched) water to see how the colour changes. Something similar is true for electric foot baths, where a small current enters the body through the feet immersed in a special electrolytic (current carrying) bath and also for LASER devices.

Lately we are using LASER devices in form of a CCV (Cardia-Cerebro-Vascular) device which reduces free radicals, among other things.

Please visit our web site (http://www.harmonology.com.au) for further information.

 Here again are some of the colours we could observe by simply inserting small pieces of metals in the test tube.

This is what you have to do if you want to see those colours for yourself.

Take a test tube with approx. 0.8 ml of green TESSOL and add 3.5 ml of demineralised or distilled water. Shake vigorously.

Colour will stay green (see left).

Place a small piece of copper wire, a zinc plated screw, a bit of fishing lead and a tiny drop of mercury from an old thermometer into the test tube and shake.

You will see the particular colour slowly developing.

In case of copper we may be able to see a faint bluish hue under the copper ring. lead shows the typical red lead hue) and zinc the typical pink.

The picture on the right shows lead, copper and zinc extracted with 15 drops of TESSOL.

The yellowish/brownish colour of mercury is easy to identify. Please keep in mind that in order to detect mercury, we are using 5 drops of TESSOL only for sensitivity reasons. The typical mercury colour can be seen on the left extracted with 5 drops of TESSOL.

Sometimes we may not be absolutely certain whether the reddish colour may indicate the presence of lead or zinc. To be absolutely certain we simply have to add a couple of drops of an acid (lemon juice, citric acid) and the reddish ring on top of the liquid phase will turn back to green again (see picture on right).. Zinc or any of the other metals will not change their colour. The picture  shows lead on the left hand and lead after the addition of citric acid on the right side.

In case of urine samples, the green ring on top of the liquid phase may have  a faint indication of another colour. That means that some ionic metals are present. It is always interesting to add CH-77 to the urine sample and perform a new test. That new test may show the true green colour, i.e. verifies that the murky green was due to the presence of small amounts of ionic metals.

The true green colour  always can be seen by simply testing demineralised or distilled water. Good bottled drinking water will be green as well.

 Test Procedure for Urine

 1.                Collect urine sample (20 ml is sufficient)

2.                Check  pH of sample and note

3.                Add approx. 3.5 ml of sample to green TESSOL in test tube                  

4.                Shake and observe colour

The strength or brightness of the colour indicates the amount of ionic metals present.

The picture shows an actual urine test. pH approximately 7.2. Urine itself is coloured which may mean that the person does not drink sufficient amounts of water and/or that this person takes medical drugs. In this case it is blood pressure tablets for high blood pressure. There was also a history of heart problems and angioplasty had been recommended by a heart specialist. See ionic metals, metal mediated Fenton reaction, free radical overproduction, oxidation of fats (cholesterol) and hardening of the arteries going along with all of that!

A clear layering of the coloured band can be observed. The top metal (colour) looks very much like zinc, the middle layer seems to be a mixture of metals and the lower layer looks a bit like lead. Please note that metals always seem to settle in accordance with their mass. The lightest metal will settle on top and the heaviest at the bottom of the coloured band. A very thin and faint brownish ring at the very bottom often indicates mercury.

If the test remains green do not immediately assume that there are no ionic metals present…they may be locked up in tissues.

It was interesting to note that after taking CH77 the person’s blood pressure tended to stay lower and was much more stable.

I am certain that the reader will appreciate the value of our IHMT when taking all the above into consideration.

 How to turn a red test result into a green test result (water or urine) or how to chelate ionic metals.

 Today we will find many chelation agents on the market, a fact which indicates that people are becoming more aware of ionic metals and their ability to influence our health. That increased awareness can be seen also in the number of people who have copied our initial Heavy Metal Test. Back in 1990 there was only one simple and easy to use Heavy Metal Test available…the one developed by Harmonology. In the meantime there are literally dozens of web sites offering our Heavy Metal Test. They are all using the old test, of course, which is slightly more difficult to use and does not allow for the same accuracy of detection as the new IHMT.

When we became aware of the problems caused by ionic heavy and/or transition metals, we developed CH-77.  CH-77 neutralises (chelates) ionic metals. It also neutralizes chlorine and/or fluoride which we may find in drinking (tap) water. Furthermore it helps to alkalise cells and the cell environment.

CH77 was clinically tested in Germany in 1992 (as CH7) and the test indicated clearly that the product could chelate ionic metals, either making them more useful for the body or else allowing the body to eliminate them. http://www.harmonology.com.au/ch7_tests.htm

In order to prove immediately and visibly that CH77 really works, we are using the IHMT.

Example: place some tap water in a plastic container. Perform a test. If your tap water shows a coloured test result (= ionic metals present), add some drops of CH-77 to the water in the cup and perform another test. The test now will be green = NO ionic metals present. All ionic metals have been chelated, i.e. they do not show up in the IHMT and the water is now safe to drink.

 Here is another test you can perform.

1. Take a plastic container and place approximately 20 ml (or more) of demineralised (or distilled) water in the jar. We know already that the test will remain green when using demineralised or distilled water.

2.  Now place a small zinc plated screw or a tiny piece of lead or copper in the jar and shake vigorously. This is your test sample.

3.  Take a test tube and place 0.8 (approx. 15 drops) ml of TESSOL in the tube.

4.   Add approximately 3.5 ml of the test sample to the test tube by means of the transfer pipette and shake.

5.  Colour will change. You will SEE how the colour develops, which means that ionic metals are present. You will be able to determine the kind of metal present from the colour.

6.   Now add some drops of CH-77 to the water in your sample jar.

7.  Perform a new test by adding 3.5 ml of the treated water to the test tube

8.  Shake and you will SEE that this test with the IHMT will remain green, which means NO ionic metals present. All metals are now chelated. If there are too many metals present relative to the amount of CH77, some colour may still be present (see actual urine test above). This means that the IHMT can help us to determine the right amount of CH77 we have to use in order to chelate all ionic metals present.

             NOTE: in case of urine we discourage the user to try and establish the exact kind of metal from the colour alone. Urine is a very complex substance and determining the kind of metal from the colour is too unreliable - unless you have a laboratory available and you are trained in laboratory work. However, we mainly developed the IHMT in order to establish a person's chelation ability or, in other words, how well a person can cope with ionic metals. For the establishment of chelation ability the determination of individual ionic metals is far less important than the overall amount of metals present in the sample. Whenever the colour changes, ionic metals are present and these metals will produce avalanches of free radicals.

Let us assume that we have a coloured IHM urine Test. If we are taking sufficient amounts of CH-77 to chelate all immediately available ionic metals, the result of a further urine test should be green when we conduct a further test one or two hours after drinking a glass of water containing CH77 (see actual urine sample above).

   Any product that claims to be able to chelate (neutralise) ionic metals must turn a coloured test into a green test. That is true for both, the water or urine test.

It may not be all that easy to get a urine sample from a small baby. Here is what we found works well.

 How to test babies

 1.    Place some drops of green TESSOL on wet nappy.

2.    Wait and see if colour changes.

3.    If colour changes = ionic metals present.

4.   If no change occurs all metals chelated

 Make sure that the colour change is not due to the metals in the nappy material itself. Place a drop of TESSOL on a dry nappy and see if colour changes. If colour changes, use a different brand of nappy.

 There are many other examples for the use of the IHMT. The test possibilities are really endless. Test your garden soil, paint on the wall, dust in the house and so on. Always add a small sample to a small container with demineralised or distilled water, shake, let settle and test.

 Conclusion

 We have developed a simple, fast and inexpensive way to detect ionic heavy (or transition) metals with a scientifically based and University evaluated Ionic Heavy Metal Test (IHMT). The test allows us to SEE whether ionic metals are present and how remedial measures will alter the test result.

 If the colour of the urine test does not change from, say, red to green, the chelation agent simply does not work properly.  A good chelation agent, such as CH-77, will change the colour of the urine test immediately when added to the sample and within one or two hours when taken internally by the person affected.

Ionic heavy (transition) metals must be chelated, i.e. have their electric charge removed since otherwise electrically charged metal ions will stick to the body, build up to toxic levels and  increase free radical production a million fold. The IHMT takes out the guess work and CH-77 takes out ionic metals.   

Feedback indicates that in clean areas up to 80% of people in Australia and Europe will suffer from varying degrees of ionic metal overloads, whereas in polluted areas that rate is close to 100%.

Tests we conducted in China indicate that close to 100% of people are metal contaminated whereas in India the contamination level (and degree) was lower. We assume that life styles and eating habits may be the cause for the difference.

We are absolutely certain that the reduction of ionic metals and acidity in human beings can contribute to a general improvement in levels of health and well-being. The old saying: cleanliness is next to Godliness is still true today. If we can eliminate toxic waste, our vehicle (body) will run better and last much longer. If we can create better balance and harmony by adjusting pH that as well will have a marked impact on the overall levels of health and wellbeing.
