Cu = copper           Zn = zinc            Hg = mercury         Cd = cadmium           Pb = lead

Note : ALL ionic metals (from aluminum to lead) can cause a million fold increase in the production of Free Radicals .

This is a photo of the crystalline structure of CH-77

For those aware of shape energy it may be interesting to note that CH-77 crystallizes in the form of a cross. The picture was taken through a microscope at a magnification of 50x. The cross like structure can be clearly seen. The efficacy of CH-77 can be also tested and proven by means of the Ionic Heavy Metal Test (IHMT). Click here to see enlarged picture

We developed CH-77 from CH-7. CH-77  has a better 'chelation ability', i.e. it 'binds' ionic metals  much better.

It  is well known today that environmental or ionic and electromagnetically active metals and especially heavy and/or transition metals metals such as mercury, lead, copper, zinc, nickel, cadmium, etc. can increase the production of Free Radicals a million fold. [1, 2]

Our body has the ability to 'switch off' certain oxidation processes through Antioxidants and hence limit the amount of damage caused by these Free Radicals. Because of ionic metals being present everywhere in our environment today (in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, etc.) and because of other Free Radical producing pollutants, diets and lifestyle, our body is often fighting a losing battle. The amount of Free Radicals produced cannot be offset any more by the Antioxidants available. Even taking additional Antioxidants may not be sufficient to help the body control the damage done by excess Free Radicals.  Furthermore research indicates that taking too many Antioxidants may hasten the development of certain cancers. The reason for that may lie in the fact that the body uses Free Radicals as one of its defense mechanisms in order to kill opportunistic 'invaders' such as bacteria, viruses, yeasts and so on.

What we realised when researching the influence of ionic metals on Free Radical development was that nobody could tell the degree to which a body was affected by ionic, electromagnetically active and hence free radical producing metals. Hair analysis, atomic absorption spectro-photometric or electron stripping investigations allow us to estimate the overall metal burden, but do not allow us to determine how well  the body copes with ionic metals in the water we drink, the food we eat, the air we breathe, the dust everywhere, etc.

What we wanted to see was the amount of ionic  metals  present in our environment and body. Metals which the system could not 'chelate'. Which remained 'inorganic' (not bound to an organic molecule), where the system could not engage their outer electrons and switch off their electric charge, causing a million fold increase in free radical production.

We developed the Ionic Heavy Metal Test (IHMT)  for this purpose. The IHMT allows us to identify metals in the environment  and  whether or not we can cope with these metals. Please keep in mind that the test is showing ionic (environmental) metals only !! Physical instruments such as atomic absorption spectro photometry etc. used in hair analysis, for example, only show the 'combined' level of metals (chelated and unchelated).

One day I went to a school in Argenton (near Newcastle, Australia) where Pasminco had contaminated the entire area with lead through their metal processing operation. The Health Department screen tested the children at the primary school for lead. When I spoke with the health officer we realised that he was at a total loss to explain why in one child the blood lead levels were so much higher than in another child living in the same environment and coming from a similar background. With the help of our IHMT we had realised long ago that different people have different 'chelation abilities'. Only if the body can chelate ionic metals can it prevent these metals from  building up in various tissues. and producing free radicals.

Thanks to the insights made with the IHMT and the possibility it gave us to test people and their environment for unchelated metals, we could proceed to try and find a way to help the individual person to cope better with environmental heavy metals. The outcome of our search and research is CH-7 and later on CH-77 .

The efficacy of CH-77 can be proven with the IHMT . If we observe a strong positive test result (colour of test turns from green to red, for example, indicating the presence of ionic  metals) and administer CH-77 accordingly  a subsequent new test  will show a green colour, i.e. a reduction in the amount of ionic metals present.

Initial situation:

Analysis:

In all cases Hg (mercury), Cd (cadmium),Pb (lead) values were reduced to below the maximum permissible level.

In 30% of cases Cu (copper) increased slightly in the blood serum. Values remained however within standards.

In 25% of cases Zn (zinc) increased, but it too remained within standards. *
Minerals such as Ca,Mg,Na, and Se were not affected by the above therapy. They remained within standard values.*

* This is an interesting observation! Since CH-7 'teaches' the body how to 'chelate' metals, the body will retain what it needs and get rid of what it doesn't.

One day a health practitioner rang from New Zealand asking: 'How come that a zinc hair mineral assay test shows a zinc deficiency and yet when I do a Chelation Ability Test (on urine) it shows lots of zinc ??' By now you may have guessed already - the zinc present was in the 'wrong' form - obviously. It was not 'chelated' and hence the body could not utilise that type of metal purposefully.

Clinical trials conducted by the University of Newcastle (2002), Australia, under supervision of Dr. R. Batey (Professor for gastro enterology and specialist in hemochromatosis) and conducted on 48 laboratory animals showed that the substance is entirely non toxic!
