With this screen you can determine the presence of ionic heavy metals in solutions such as urine or sputum. You can also monitor your environment by checking water or dust to find out where the heavy metals are coming from as health authorities estimate that at least 90% of all chronic diseases, from arthritis, diabetes, asthma to cancer,  can be attributed to environmental pollution in one way or another.

Heavy metals are increasingly responsible for the production of free radicals, as well as undermining the "internal environment" and body chemistry. The main concern is not so much the type of metal you may detect, but rather if metals in their ionic form are present. There is little hope for antioxidants and mineral supplements to do their job properly, if heavy metals keep on producing new free radicals and replace essential minerals. Therapies, whether allopathic, naturopathic or homeopathic, have very little success unless you can help your patients body to eliminate toxic metals through detoxification.

Heavy Metals As The Cause Of Free Radicals

The studies by Ohlenschlager on "The Glutathione system," P.G. Seeger on "Cancer - Origins, Early Recognition and Therapy ," and B. Kuklinski of Rostock on "Cell Damage Resulting from Free Radicals and Oxidation" have shown that environmental factors rank high among the causes of acute and chronic diseases. In this context, heavy metals play a particular role. Having entered the organism over extended periods of time, i.e. via amalgam fillings, water supply, food items and air pollutants, the rates of their absorption and their discharge require constant assessment and control. Their share in causing diseases has been estimated to be in the range of 60 - 70 %. Unfortunately no precise studies exist to date, but as early 1974, at a medical congress organized by the World Health Organization in Florence (taly), environmental contamination was being considered as a cause for many diseases.

The controversial topic of amalgam fillings, subject of numerous heated debates in recent years, and the scientific studies of Till & Teherani on "Evidence of Mercury Deposit Formation on the Dental Roots and Jaw Bones of Amalgam Carriers," by Gerhard on "Mercury Release Correlated to Hormonal Disorders," by Drasch on "Mercury Stress Correlated to the Number of Amalgam Fillings," by Daunderer in the "Handbook of Amalgam Poisoning," and by the German Research Council on "Acute Poisonings and Metal Detection in the Urine" reveal how little we know about those medical conditions, their diagnosis and their treatment, in which heavy metals play a causative role.

In cases of acute heavy metal poisoning (commonly the result of accidents or extreme workplace related contamination), clinical toxicology is generally able to provide an effective quick response, i.e. with the DMPS procedure administered as mobilization test and antidote. However, hardly any appropriate treatment or diagnostic procedure was available for cases of long-term heavy metal contamination. No satisfactory method existed for the early recognition heavy metal contamination.

How can you screen for Heavy Metal Toxins in Urine and Sputum?

The methods used to detect heavy metal contamination are both cumbersome and costly and in some instances do  not even allow the differentiation between organically bound and free metal atoms (i.e. Cu, Zn in spectrometer analyses).

Recent research has, however, shown that it is essentially electrically active heavy metal atoms not bound with organic complexes which actively destroy molecular compounds and thereby cause the formation of free radicals. Up to a certain point, a healthy body is able to bind (i.e. chelate) free heavy metal atoms, i.e. neutralize their electromagnetic charge and clear them out. If this mechanism is no longer able to function because too many toxins have accumulated in the organism, the number of free radicals will increase, especially if the body is suffering an antioxidant deficiency at the same time. In such cases, administering antioxidant supplements will not solve the real problem, namely the accumulation of heavy metal ion deposits in the body.

Traditional methods like hair or blood analyses have not been able to uncover these connections for the simple reason that the organic sample is destroyed in the course of the analysis. Such procedures were therefore unable to differentiate between metal atoms bound with organic complexes and unbound and therefore electro-magnetically active ions, a difference which is crucial in the assessment of the overall situation.

The Displacement Process

In the organism, the bivalent metals are engaged in a continuous fight against one another, i.e. copper against zinc, iron against calcium, which results in the displacement of the "lighter" element by the "heavier" one in terms of their atomic masses. It is well known that heavy metals are enzyme toxins. They must therefore be removed and cleared out by means of a basis treatment which can restore the immune system to a level at which it can sustain itself.

Both traditional and holistic practitioners find it quite difficult at this point in time to determine accurately the appropriate drug profile in a given case, the reason being that the respective simile of symptoms has undergone a shift due to the presence of heavy metal ions. In fact, this phenomenon may be observed for the majority of the classic Hahnemann remedy profiles and it is fair to say that at the present time the effectiveness of any antioxidant therapy is significantly compromised by the presence of heavy metal ions. It is therefore important to first identify the heavy metal in question and to determine the degree of its involvement. Then, as the cause of the condition, the heavy metal ions must be removed and cleared out. Due to the close connection between heavy metals and the oxidation process it simply makes no sense to administer all kinds of antioxidants before this has been done.

To give an example, recognizing the discharge of zinc as the result of a displacement process will avoid falsely diagnosing the symptoms observed as indicating calcium, iron or copper deficiencies. To restore balance, it makes no sense to substitute any displaced essential minerals and metals before the heavy metals have been cleared out.

This is why the HMT as a quick reagent screen can be done at health practitioners offices, clinics or at home. Many previously unclear symptom combinations will become transparent once a specific contamination has been identified and then eliminated through appropriate treatment. Similarly, indicators pointing to deposits in certain organs will be useful in narrowing down the diagnostic choices. Clinical studies and practical applications will progressively improve our knowledge in this area.

The effects of environmental toxins on our health continues to be a topic at U.S. congressional hearings.

Heavy Metal Toxins Dangers

Around 1974  at the Congress of the World Health Organization in Florence, Italy, attention was drawn to the fact that 60-80% of the environmental toxins, that include heavy metals, contribute to diseases like neuro-dermatitis, autoimmune disorders, allergies and many others. This applies to everyone. How many of your patients have these complaints? Today, this number is even greater.

Mercury

It is estimated that about 20 million pounds of mercury flows into the sea each year, about half from industrial and half from natural sources. 250,000 pounds per year are used by dentists in the United States alone. Mercury in all forms is very poisonous.

Cadmium

The annual production of Cadmium is about 4,000,000 pounds. Cadmium is now everywhere: in the air, water, and food. Every day we consume about 20 micro-grams into our body.

The symptoms of chronic cadmium intoxication are: high blood pressure, sore joints, back pain, osteoporosis, anemia, or decreased fertility to name a few. The chart lists more toxic-induced symptoms. Do they apply to your patients?
