PH and Heavy Metal Testing 

These are two individual tests:  

1. pH Test

This test is a simple test done in 15 seconds, to measure the body’s pH level.  It is to define whether the body is working in an Acid, Alkaline or Optimal Zone.

It is well known that the body can function properly only within a very narrow pH range.  pH is the acid/alkaline balance of the body.  We like to call it the electron/proton balance.  Electrons and protons are the first manifestation of ‘matter’ in physical reality.  Without a proper balance between them, there would be no atoms, no molecules, no matter – and – no human beings!   For us it is the ‘first balance’ in physical reality and hence of utmost importance. 

Blood has the narrowest of margins.  The body is trying (by ALL means) to keep the blood pH at 7.4.   If it drops down to 7.2 you are severely ill and at 7.0 you are dead. 

When people age, they often become more acid.  When that happens the body in its desperation ‘robs’ bones of the alkaline mineral calcium  ... and that leads to osteoporosis and so on.  The body rather loses bone mass than ‘dying’ because of low blood pH. 

Tissue pH also has to be within a rather narrow margin  ...  between 7.35 and 7.44, and there are even fine differences between men and women. It is believed that the secret to a long and healthy life is to keep the body slightly on the alkaline side. 

For us all, that translates into a urine pH of around 7.0 to 7.5. 

In the morning, the urine sometimes can be a bit acid because the body is getting rid of stored acids during the night.  During the day the pH should not drop below 7.0.

For us, it is important to know that CHELATION does not work well in an acid environment 

Saliva pH always should be 7.0 or above.  Low saliva pH often indicates low mineral stores.   

For us, it is important to know that CHELATION does not work well in an acid environment.   

ALKALZING

In order to help the body to retain its proton/electron balance we developed the Alkalizer.  The action of the Alkalizer treatment can be seen by means of pH tests. 

Depending upon the ‘buffering’ of the human body the body reacts either very quickly or more slowly to alkalization.  Buffers are substances such as sodium bicarbonate (produced by a healthy human pancreas) which keep the pH stable and prevent pH bounce.  pH bounce is the rapid change of the pH level.  In cases of allergic reactions, the pH can drop tenfold and more within a period of minutes.  Sodium Bicarbonate can either accept or donate electrons ... and that is what makes it a ‘buffer’. 

It is known that chelation does not work well in an acid environment hence alkalization is of paramount importance to help and eliminate ionic and free radical producing metals as well as other toxins. 

It may take a while until allergic reactions subside when alkalizing the body.  As an example, one person could not have one single sip of red wine without immediately getting a blocked nose and teary eyes.  Within days of starting to alkalise the problem got better.  Approximately 12 months after commencement of alkalization the person could drink a whole bottle of wine without experiencing major ‘side effects’ etc.  For years he had suffered from chronic insomnia.  A day or two after commencing alkalization he slept like a log  ...  never to look back.

Arthritic problems, asthma attacks and atopic dermatitis vanished as well.  These amazing results may not have been due to alkalization alone, but also the removal of ionic metals through taking CH77 at the same time. 

It is known that chelation does not work well in an acid environment hence alkalization is of paramount importance to help and eliminate ionic and free radical producing metals as well as other toxins. 

Free Radicals are viewed today as the root cause of all chronic diseases....... 

The Ionic Heavy Metal Test (IHMT) was designed specifically for our time.  A time in which environmental pollution has become so severe that it affects plant, animal and human life.  Ionic metals are amongst the most dangerous environmental pollutants. 

This quick test, provides information about the presence of metal ions in our environment and our own bodies and how the body ‘copes’ with ionic metals.  The test indicates the presence of ionic and electrically active or charged metals only.  WE are not interested in ‘chelated’ or electrically neutral metals since it is these ‘ionic’ or electrically charged metals which can increase the Free Radical production a millionfold. 

This test is simple, fast and inexpensive, so that we can be more aware of environmental pollution and how that pollution affects our own health and wellbeing.  Worldwide research into the field of Free Radicals and how they are produced and what they do to us is ongoing.  The ‘Fenton Reaction’ (linked from “ionic and free radical producing metals” link above) explains how Ionic Transitionmetals produce avalanches of free radicals.  

It is well documented that heavy metals such as Cadmium, Copper, Zinc, Lead and Mercury can cause serious health problems.  These metals may be present in water, dust, pain, soil, etc. and can enter our bodies through the digestive and/or respiratory system or else can be absorbed through the skin.  It is still much less well known that ionic metals (including zinc, copper and especially iron) increase Free Radical production if the body cannot ‘chelate’ these metals.  Free Radicals are viewed today as the root cause of all chronic diseases from diabetes to asthma, arthritis, rheumatism, MS, MND, Parkinsons, Alzheimer’s , cancer, heart attacks and strokes and so on and on  - and even aging. 

It is therefore of paramount importance that we establish the ‘chelation ability’ of a person – i.e. – whether the body can ‘chelate’ (make electrically neutral) the metal or not. 

If a person cannot chelate ionic metals (lock them on to an amino acid, for example, which ‘neutralises ‘ the electric charge) his or her chelation ability must be improved.  This can be achieved by various means.  The best way we have found so far, is CH-77, a chelation agent which has been clinically tested for efficacy and toxicity.  The IHMT allows us to monitor the success of a therapy that practitioner and patient may decide on. 

Here is a simple statement:  if the test does not show a green urine sample, or at least a greatly reduced colour after administering the ‘chelation agent’, the method used to eliminate ionic metals may not work. 

The basic heavy metal test was evaluated by the University of Newcastle (Department of Chemistry), Australia, in 1990.  The initial concept was changed  the ‘chelation test’ was evaluated in 2002

Comments: ‘amazingly accurate for such a simple procedure’ 

Other systems do not distinguish between ionic metals and chelated metals. 

The IHMT is used in many countries of the world by medical doctors, dentists and complementary health practitioners.  It is the ONLY system of its kind which allows to test for chelation ability. 

Other systems (hair analysis often uses atomic absorption spectro photometry, electron stripping etc.) do not distinguish between ionic metals and chelated metals.  The health practitioner and patient will get a general overview of the metal status – but it is rather difficult to monitor therapy results and therapy progress and especially to become aware of the chelation ability of a person.

2. The Ionic Heavy Metal Test (IHMT)

CHELATION ABILITY TEST – How to detect Ionic Mercury, Lead, Cadmium, Copper, Zinc etc. And determining ‘chelation ability’

The IHMT is clearly revealing to us the real time situation – i.e. – what is happening in our body right now and how do we react to chelation for example with CH-77. 

Chelation Ability has been overlooked for a long period of time. 

What does it really mean?

Chelation ability indicates how well a person can ‘cope’ with charged metal ions which tend to ‘stick’ to the body and accumulate in tissues until they may reach ‘toxic’ levels.  Ionic metals (and here especially iron) will increase the over production of free radicals a million-fold. 

Then the next step is ......

Following a Lifestyle Plan that includes:

• Healthy choices of food and drink
• Ensuring a good daily intake of filtered water
• A good quality supplement high in Antioxidants
• A daily exercise programme
• Regular kinesiology balancing – to help ensure optimum results
• Life Balancing – including Relaxation
 

If you are not sure which direction to take, please don’t hesitate to book an appointment where you can discuss these points of a Lifestyle Plan.
