Observations with the Ionic Metal Test (IHMT)

I hope I am not confusing you when I talk about the Ionic Metal Test (IHMT) instead of the Ionic Heavy Metal Test (IHMT). The simple reason is that ‘heavy metals' is such an imprecise word and does not represent the real truth about metals. People obviously would not class zinc and copper, for example, as ‘heavy metals'…..but we are testing for these metals and they are just as important for health and disease as are lead, mercury or iron. What IS really important is the form (ionic of chelated) these metals are in.

A question came from Germany and that question was: ‘what does it mean when the test develops into an orangey colour ? Where even the liquid phase under the coloured ring is kind of orange.' We found the answer to that phenomenon some years ago!

When we attended the Health Exhibition in Melbourne, people at a stall near to ours sold ‘alkaline' water….which is also called ‘ionised water'.

Through the application of electricity hydrogen ions (H + ) and hydroxide ions ( OH - ) are separated. It is a bit more complicated but we could say that the hydrogen ion causes acidity and the hydroxide ion alkalinity. Hydrogen ions are positively charged and hydroxide ion are negatively charged. As I have mentioned in earlier articles: more protons = acid….more electrons = alkaline.

When I tested that ‘alkaline' water the test turned orange….to my utter amazement since I had expected good water to be green ! I did not know what to do with that result. During the day we tested dozens of mainly health practitioners. Instead of 95 % of people having a coloured urine test we found that in the case of health practitioners that figure dropped to about 75%. Since one expects health practitioners to be a bit more healthy than the ‘average' person, that results was not amazing. What was amazing though, was that the occasional practitioner showed exactly that same orangey colour! Questioning the relevant practitioner we found that they all took large amounts of anti oxidants.

Please remember that anti oxidants are classed as ‘substances being able to give up electrons without turning into free radicals themselves.

And here was the answer: in both cases, the ionised water and the anti oxidant taking practitioners, we had a large excess of electrons….and the electrons (and we still don't quite understand why) are changing the colour of the Ionic Metal Test !

One of the reasons for the phenomenon may be that the reagent (Dithizone) reacts to electrons in atoms. Colour is understood as being a change in electron orbits of atoms from a higher energy state to a lower energy state. When this change occurs, the excess energy is released as a ‘photon' (a quantum of energy) of a certain frequency….and that vibrating photon (the frequency) is seen by the eye as a colour.

Often I try to explain this by means of a stone and the still pond. If the water in the pond is absolutely still we cannot see any form or waves. If we want to create waves, we need to throw a stone in the still water, for example. That stone creates a ‘frequency' or wave. The wave will be bigger or smaller depending on the size of the stone and the velocity we throw it with (=energy).

The stone is the electron moving from one level of orbit to another. If we now have too many electrons (if we throw a handful of pebbles in the water) it is very difficult to distinguish individual waves…..and that gives us the orangey colour.

What it means in real terms is that the body is flooded with electrons.

These electrons will prevent the formation of free radicals….and some people may think that this is great. Free radicals, after all, are believed to be responsible for all chronic diseases and ageing! The problem is though that the material Universe is based upon the law of balance and harmony. Too much of a good thing can develop into a bad thing. We know that free radicals are part of the immune system. They help to kill ‘invaders' such as viruses and bacteria. Research has shown that people who eat too many antioxidants develop exactly the diseases they tried to prevent in the first place…..including cancer!

Therefore, and from my point of view, the test should always be green. If it is any other colour….there is a problem. A problem of imbalance and disharmony.

In real terms this means that the IMT can be used as another interesting tool ….it allows us to SEE when people are out of balance with regards to electrons and protons.

In such cases I found that a bit of ‘fasting' and ‘cleansing' can return the body to a greater state of balance. The result of that greater state of balance and harmony….is the return to a green colour when conducting an Ionic Metal Test.

  And that leads me, of course, to say a couple of things again about the basic balance in the Universe. The balance between protons and electrons or…in a human context… alkalinity and acidity…or simply pH. The basic balance , because electrons and protons are the first duality in physical reality. Without that balance the physical Universe would not exist…and hence there would be no people to experience that physical Universe. If the balance is not right in people they become ‘sick'. All sickness or disease can be understood as imbalance and disharmony.

Here I would like to quote a couple of lines from a scientific article:

An advanced understanding of acid–base physiology is as central to the practice of critical care medicine, as are an understanding of cardiac and pulmonary physiology. Intensivists spend much of their time managing problems related to fluids, electrolytes, and blood pH. Recent advances in the understanding of acid–base physiology have occurred as the result of the application of basic physical-chemical principles of aqueous solutions to blood plasma. This analysis has revealed three independent variables that regulate pH in blood plasma. These variables are carbon dioxide, relative electrolyte concentrations, and total weak acid concentrations. All changes in blood pH, in health and in disease, occur through changes in these three variables. Clinical implications for these findings are also discussed.

Determinants of blood pH in health and disease John A Kellum University of Pittsburgh Medical Center , Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania , USA

An interesting ‘trinity'. Carbon dioxide, relative electrolyte concentration and total weak acids.

That relates to breathing, liquids and food. Air, water and solids.

If we do not breathe properly…which means proper inhaling and exhaling…we may accumulate carbonic acid.

If we do not drink sufficient amounts of the right water, we may not have the right concentration of electrolytes. The right water means a water which carries a good amount of alkaline minerals.

If we do not eat the right food we may accumulate weak acids. Uric acid may be formed by eating too much protein rich food, for example. Please remember that all acids except hydrochloric acid are considered ‘waste' acids and must be eliminated from the body.

All these aspects may vary from one person to the other. There is no safe and fast rule of ‘averages'. But the principles, the underlying law is always the same.

The reality for all people is that, if these basic principles are adhered to, the body will function as per design. Where there is greater balance and harmony, there is greater health and happiness.

It is as simple as that!

If there is greater balance and harmony ionic metals will not accumulate in the tissues of our bodies and the Ionic Metal Test will show a green test result !

There will be no orangey colour either because there is a proper balance between electrons and protons. There will be no excess of electrons…or protons.

  Health and happiness to all of you and kind regards,

Hans
