CM8 & Arthritis & Fibromaylgia

CM8™ is an excellent nutrient for joint function. CM8™ (Cetyl Myristoleate) was discovered during a two-year period from 1962 to 1964 by Mr. Harry W. Diehl while on a personal quest to find a cure for arthritis. Mr. Diehl later in life was suffering from the symptoms of osteo-arthritis. He tried his discovery and was pleased to see his osteo-arthritis symptoms disappear. Many of his family members and friends became aware of the relief Diehl got from his discovery, and they wanted to try it, too. Time after time, people with both rheumatoid and osteo-arthritis received astounding relief with cetyl myristoleate. Before long, family members and friends grew into customers, and cetyl myristoleate appeared on the market as a dietary supplement in 1991.

CM8 functions in three different ways.

• First, it acts as a highly effective lubricant in the joints, muscles and other tissues, allowing them to move smoothly. Decrease or loss of morning stiffness is commonly noted shortly after commencing treatment.
• Next, CM8 functions as an anti-inflammatory. Relief from swollen joints is often seen after the 4th or 5th week of treatment.
• Third, it is also an immune system modulator which can be effectual against auto-immune diseases, such as arthritic conditions. CM8 relieves joint pain at its source, reducing inflammation and irritation of the joints and tissues. It also has been helpful for many sufferers of muscle tension and fibromyalgia.

CM8 is found in the nutritional supplement Flexcin.

Stop Smoking with Laser Therapy

Cold Laser Therapy is a new weapon to help smokers quit smoking. A trained technician applies the cold laser to areas of the body that stimulate natural chemicals that alleviate the addiction for smoking. The laser does not burn or hurt. Occasionally one feels a mild, soothing warmth or tingling.   The application of the laser answers an individual’s need for a non-drug euphoric replacement of chemicals released after smoking.  Combining the cold laser therapy treatment with counseling patients has achieved a remarkable high 80 plus percent success rate.

Smoking is the one of the hardest legal addictions to get rid of. Years ago it was socially acceptable. However today we understand the health issues associated with smoking. What was once socially acceptable is much less tolerated with. In the old days, people could smoke in the office or in restaurants. Now many states or cities have banned it. I am always amazed when I see people smoking outside in the shivering cold or in the rain.

If you have tried many methods to quit smoking or are simply ready to quit smoking, check out cold laser therapy. Make sure you visit a therapist that has had extensive training and experience with this technology to achieve the best results. Combine your treatment with counseling to assure your success. In the NJ and NY area I recommend Fresh Start Laser Therapy. I have personally visited them and am impressed with their professionalism.

Xenistat – Natural Lipase Inhibitor – Fat Blocker

Xenistat™ – The Natural Lipase Inhibitor that is truly your fat loss Ally!

Xenistat™ is an omni-faceted nutraceutical designed to be a safe and natural potent lipase inhibitor (fat blocker) and inhibitor of starch absorption (carbohydrate blocker). The need for a nutraceutical like Xenistat™ became obvious with the launch of Alli®. Prior to Alli® hitting the market as an over the-counter (OTC) drug, its active ingredient was available by prescription only under the trade name Xenical®. With a doctor’s supervision, Xenica1 was a moderately successful diet aid and the terrible side effects were able to be monitored by a physician.

Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals, Inc., (Hi-Tech) developed Xenistat™ as an alternative to products like Xenical®, which has numerous, highly undesirable side effects. Xenistat™ is a combination of lipstatin, Cassia nomame extract, and green tea extract standardized to 45% ECGC minimum. Xenistat™ also combines the novel Phase 2 white kidney bean extract that has numerous scientific studies backing its ability to block starches, which are the reason why many people become overweight.

Hi-Tech believes that, with the launch of Xenistat™, it can offer consumers a safe alternative to drugs with equally impressive results. Xenistat™ is stimulant and caffeine free, so all dieters can take Xenistat™ without worrying about the side affects often encountered with stimulants. Hi-Tech utilizes pharmaceutical-grade lipstatin and the highest extract of Cassia nomame imported from Japan. The green tea extract is standardized to 98% catechins_and 45% ECGC. Hi-Tech’s green tea is also water soluble to enhance bioavailability.

Hi-Tech developed the revolutionary product, Xenistat™, for people who are overweight and cannot tolerate stimulants. It was also developed for those who are seeking an additional path way to fat loss in addition to the use of stimulants. Initial anecdotal feedback from individuals, who have combined Xenistat™ with either Lipodrene®, Stimerex-ES®, Fastin™ or Lipodrene Xtreme®, clearly indicates that stacking Xenistat™ with an effective fat loss stimulant yields tremendous results.

Xenistat™ is the latest natural weight loss product and is safe when used as directed. Xenistat™ works only in your digestive system – not in your heart or brain. That means you won’t experience jittery effects, sleeplessness or a racing heart.

Xenistat™ can benefit people who find it difficult to lose weight, restrict their diet, resist fattening foods, suppress their appetite, follow a diet and exercise plan, keep excess weight off once they have lost it, and who have had bad luck choosing a correct dietary supplement to accelerate the weight and fat loss process.

Xenistat™ provides a safe and effective approach to accelerate your weight and fat loss goals and may help to maintain healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels, promote your overall health and well-being, increase energy, and improve your appearance and self confidence.

Creatine Monohydrate vs Con-Cret

CON-CRET is a new type of creatine that offers many exciting advantages over creatine monohydrate. This unique 100% conjugated creatine contains no calories, no fillers, no sugar and gains its competitive advantage from its delivery mechanism – known as micro-dosing – defined as, 1/4 teaspoon per 100-pounds of bodyweight. Conjugated means “bound” – it is simply a scientific term for molecules being bonded together. CON-CRET uses bonding molecules that have been effectively and safely used in the pharmaceutical industry for years. This unique property makes Con-Cret the powerful creatine on the market today.

Many body builders and athletes load up on creatine with the idea of enhancing their muscle building efforts. Unfortunately, depending on the individual, loading up can cause side effects like gas and bloating. Con Cret achieves its remarkable properties with unique molecular bonding rather than by micro grinding creatine or esterizing creatine. This allows the bodybuilder to take a micro-dose while achieving maximum results. One study showed CON CRET was nearly 60x’s more potent than creatine monohydrate, and significantly more potent than esters. Better yet, there was no need for ingesting massive quantities of powders and pills to achieve the desired results!

Amalgam Mercury & Oral Chelation

Recently I went to a dentist to have some cavities fixed. I was given the option to have the cavity filled with amalgam or composite. For sometime I have been aware of the controversy over amalgams.  Amalgam fillings are composed of almost equal parts of elemental liquid mercury and an alloy powder of mostly silver, and some tin and copper. There is a lot of controversy about amalgams use of mercury. Amalgam can release small amounts of mercury vapor over time. It has been theorized that you can absorb these vapors by inhaling or ingesting them.  Given the fact that we absorb the mercury from certain foods (particularly fish), medications, the air we breathe, and other sources, then add the mercury from amalgams, the result can be mercury overload.

Some scientific studies have shown that the use of amalgam fillings is not harmful. However, other studies have shown there is evidence of amalgam filling’s effect on gastrointestinal problems, sleep disturbances, concentration problems, memory disturbances, lack of initiative, restlessness, bleeding gums and other mouth disorders.

Everybody has a different susceptibility to toxins. Some people are very sensitive and some people are not. Some people can work a lifetime in a factory with harmful substances without any health effects, yet some may develop symptoms that suggest toxic poisoning.

We can’t always control environmental factors, (unless we have a concerted effort by everybody), but we can control what we fill our cavities with. In the end I chose the less toxic route and chose composites that cost me an additional 20 percent. My plan is to replace my amalgam fillings as they wear out with composites. I don’t believe in replacing all of my amalgams with composites at the same time. Some people have theorized that doing so can cause toxic overload. There are some dentists that specialize in amalgam removal and have techniques to minimizing toxic overload from mercury. Another advantage of the composites is that they look better than amalgams.

To offset mercury toxic release during amalgam replacement I prefer to use oral chelation rather than synthetic chelators. Synthetic chelating agents have a higher incidence of adverse reactions because they release toxic metals in persons whose anti-oxidant defenses are suboptimal. I prefer Chelorex because as the manufacture says:

“Our formulation can be safely taken in order to protect against transient surges of mercury which can occur during amalgam replacement. CHELOREX not only binds the mercury, but protects tissues from free radicals by raising glutathione levels, providing antioxidants, and supplying protective trace minerals (Zn, Mg, and Se).”

Pheromones And Career Advancement

All experts agree that you must take control of your career to move forward. That means you must look for ways to find challenging work, progress in your field, or increase your visibility.

Most people that are familiar with pheromones think that their sole function is to attract the opposite sex. However based on our experience pheromones also can help improve an individual’s credibility factor. Studies show that attractive and/or confident people are more successful in their careers and make more money. The more credible you are the greater the chance to achieve a sale or a promotion. Sometimes very competent people lose out on opportunities because they may be subconsciously perceived as lacking the ability to give or perform the task.

Pheromones may be an excellent tool for advancing your career. During these trying times we need to avail ourselves of every tool that may help improve success. At some point you may have to convince management that your idea is the best way to go. You may need that extra factor so that you stand out from your peers, have the best chance for advancement, or find yourself fighting to save your job.

I once worked with a woman named Stephanie (not her real name) who was very plain looking. She did not have a college education and her work performance was average. The difference was she gave off an air of confidence that made her seem more credible in management’s eyes. Stephanie worked her way up the ladder, leaving many of us who were more qualified in the dust. I asked her secret and she replied “pheromones!”

The pheromone solution to achieve this same success is to wear a high quality product that contains both male and female pheromones. This has a two-prong approach to increase acceptance by both sexes. The male pheromone will subconsciously suggest to other men that you are a winner and stand out from the crowd. The female pheromone will help boost the male wearer’s psyche and help make him more confident. The theory is the old adage, “behind every successful man is a woman and vice versa, behind every successful woman is a man.” Female wearers will of course have a similar reaction.

Interviewing for a new job can be frustrating because you need to find a way to set yourself above other candidates competing for the same job. Interviewers make subjective hiring decisions rather than objective ones because they see so many candidates with similar qualifications. Pheromones may subconsciously encourage the interviewer to hire you only because it is the one extra factor that makes you stand out!

Alison interviewed for a position within her company. Just before her appointment, she applied pheromones. However, once the interview process began, she realized that she was not qualified for the job, but she was awarded the position anyway. From there she received two more promotions within a year.

Rob worked for a company that was downsizing and he feared he would be one of the ones that would get laid off. He wore pheromones at work and watched people with more seniority get laid off while he kept his job.

Attending job fairs is a great way to connect with potential employers, but they attract hundreds of people who are competing for the same jobs. Eric was desperate for a job. He heard about pheromones helping in such situations. He left his name with different people and each time he turned in his registration form he put some pheromones on the form. In the end he got to choose the job he wanted.

Renee saw money wasted all around her where she worked and was determined to show the company executives how to save the company money. After it was obvious that no one was taking her seriously, she decided to apply pheromones to her reports. The execs that previously disregarded her recommendations, started to take more time reading her reports. From that point on they sought out Renee for her opinions.

I once worked for a company that was quick to fire their sales representatives if their sales performance was not to their liking. The company president called me in to find out why my sales were not progressing. At the time, they did not know that I was starting a new business and was just maintaining my sales accounts. I knew my job was in jeopardy. Before walking into his office, I applied my pheromone mix. This mix was a product that included both female and male pheromones and a special fragrance containing 18 scents. To my astonishment I did not lose my job and I walked out of the office with everyone satisfied about my performance.

For best results I always recommend that people follow the manufacturer’s pheromone usage instructions. Applying more is not better and in fact will give you the poorest results! The pheromone quality should be high enough to achieve what you want without being consciously detected. A money back guarantee suggests that the product is high quality and that the manufacturer stands behind the product.

Pheromones are safe, easy to use, and can give you the confidence you need to change or enhance your career. It’s the secret weapon in your pocket ready for those times when you need it the most.

B-Calm

B-Calm is a carefully balanced combination of herbal extracts known to have calming properties. B-Calm works synergistically to help Promote a healthy heart and a relaxed mind and body. B-Calm is manufactured under strict GMP standards.

Here are some interesting testimonials on Health Aid B-Calm that I just became aware of:

“I started taking B-Calm by Health Aid when I was taken off of a year long medical anti-depressant that had caused me a lot of harm. I suffer from both anxiety and depression and am very sensitive to any type of product put into my body. I was recommended I try the B-Calm by my local health food store owner. I was still having withdrawal symptoms after 3 months of going off the prescription drug and was having “breakdowns”.”

“I began taking the B-Calm as soon as possible. I started staggering it with two capsuls and then one, every other day. On my “bad” days (usually when my hormones were crazy), I would take 2 each day for a few days. The product does exactly what it says it will – keeps you calm, stable, in a more even and better mood. It was much needed while I worked on becoming healthy and “drug free” from the previous medication.”

“I found that the B-Calm product was absolutely what I needed. In the time I took it, I recommended it to several people I knew and one of my doctors, who also now tells patients about it as an alternative to medication. It is something that anyone who is sensitive to chemicals, side-effects, and over the counter drugs needs to check into. I fully recommend it to anyone who is suffering from depression, anxiety, panic-attacks, mood swings, etc. (all of which I have had). Do not hesitate to believe this product will work for you.”

Sibergin Eleuthero – Dealing With Stress Just Got Easier

Stress comes in many forms. Stress can come in a more primitive “flight or fight” form which is usually temporary, and generally happens when we are scared by something and the body gets ready to either run or stay and fight. For example, in a scary movie we might get frightened and immediately jump in our seats, but in a couple moments the mind takes over and tells us that it is just a movie and there is nothing more to fear or do. Then there is the stress that we all know and think of when we hear the word ’stress’. The stress of our everyday lives-be it trying to meet deadlines at work or at school, family responsibilities, or just the daily grind of ‘trying to get ahead’ in life that many of us face. This kind of stress can hang around for days, if not months and sometimes years! It is a hidden killer, and can lead to higher risks of many health conditions. Although our bodies were made to endure the temporary “flight or fight” reaction to stress, we were not made to endure stress over long periods of time, as it gradually degrades the health and vitality. Stress over a long period not only degrades our ability to react to stress, but also our ability to perform our normal daily tasks. One example that most of us are familiar with is the effect of stress on our immune systems. The more stress we endure the easier it is for us to get sick and catch colds, as our immune system is depleted by the constant stress our body has undergone.

This is where a group of herbs that are used throughout the world can help us they have been called the “adaptogens”, and are generally herbs that are taken to help the body adapt to and endure stress. Paramount in this group of herbs are the ginsengs and Eleuthero (formally known as “Siberian ginseng”). There are two main types of ginseng, Asian ginseng and American ginseng. Herbalists generally think of Asian ginseng as being warming or having a “yang” quality, while American ginseng is thought of as cooling, with a more “yin” quality. Eleuthero, on the other hand, is generally regarded as neutral, so it can suit more body constitutions. In fact, the Soviet scientist who is a lead researcher in the attributes of Eleuthero, named Brekhman, has reported that Eleuthero has a wider range of activity compared to the two ginsengs. Eleuthero is becoming more popular today as an antistress agent, as it has been the subject of over 1,000 scientific studies! The studies are showing that Eleuthero is able to support the body in times of both chronic and acute stress. It not only helps the functioning of the body, but also the mind, and is a mind/body approach to helping us deal with stress.* 1, 2 Eleuthero has a long traditional use in traditional Chinese medicine as both a tonic and a preventative herb, as it was thought to increase longevity, improve health, the appetite and memory.*1 As Eleuthero received little attention from Western scientists until fairly recently, most of the studies have been performed by Soviet scientists. Soviet studies involving over 2,000 healthy subjects have concluded Eleuthero to have the ability to 1) promote human performance in times of adverse physical conditions,* 2) increase work output and mental alertness,* and 3) improve the quality of this work output in both a mental and physical level.* Additionally, Eleuthero can help with easing a troubled mind and increase our ability to get a good night’s sleep, improve our mood outlook, and sense of wellbeing.* Eleuthero is known to have a gentle stimulating effect on people, and can improve overall energy levels, but it does not have the typical side effects of caffeine.* Eleuthero increases energy without caffeine or ephedrine stimulants.* Other areas for which Eleuthero has been found to be favorable in studies are in promoting cardiovascular health, immune function, longevity, athletic performance, respiratory health, normalizing blood sugar, promoting visual acuityand hearing, and normalizing cellular growth.* 1, 2, 3 , 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

In one example that shows the normalizing effect of Eleuthero on our response to stress, Eleuthero was given to 29 seaman, while another group received placebo.* The group who received Eleuthero showed increased general health and physical capacity for work, as well as healthier hearts, blood vessels, and pace of breathing. Overall, Eleuthero had such an overall effect on promoting wellness, it can be said that its effects were non-specific, that is not targeting only one system of the body.* 2, 13

Another study explains part of the story of how Eleuthero can achieve this effect. In one double-blind clinical study, an extract of Eleuthero was given to 36 healthy volunteers or a placebo for four weeks. At the end of the four weeks, the group that had been taking Eleuthero showed a pronounced increase in the functioning of the immune system (increased T lymphocytes, cytotoxic, and natural killer (NK) cells.* The authors found no side effects after observing the volunteers for six months. Such a general strengthening in the immune functions in healthy people could translate into many better health in many of the structures and functions of the body.* 3

Athletic Performance

Another kind of stress that most of us never think of as ’stress’ is the kind of stress the body goes through when we are going through a work out, or getting our daily exercise. Increasing the heart rate and enduring heavy muscular workouts may make us look and feel better over the long run, but there is a downside to the stress that it puts on our bodies.* Every time we work out we create an inflammatory state in our bodies that our bodies must recover from. Professional athletes know this well, as the period of recovery after sports is a crucial factor in their lives of training and performance.* Eleuthero has been found to effect many areas of athletic performance as well as its well known ability to help the body adapt to the overall stress that exercise exposes us to.* Eleuthero is also able to decrease the lactic acid level, the build-up of which is the cause of muscle soreness.* It also increases glycogen storage (an energy source for the body), inhibits the effect of LDLs (low density lipoprotein) which can inhibit energy storage, increases oxygen usage, and helps the body to build muscle strength and repair.* 2, 9, 10, 11

In a recent study, Eleuthero has been shown to have an anti-fatigue action on forced swimming time while at the same time increasing the recovery of the immune system (of Natural Killer cell activity) and inhibiting corticosterone (stress hormones) levels.* This showed there is not only an enhancement in performance by Eleuthero, but that this enhancement also has to do with its nonspecific effects on stress and the immune system.* Clinical studies continue to mount that show Eleuthero can help us be better athletes, and also help us be healthier, calmer in the face of stress and the extremes of sports, as well as helping our body adapt to wider ranges of temperature and weather conditions we meet while exercising.* 9, 10, 11, 12

Work Performance Most people equate the workplace with stress. Eleuthero has the ability to not only help us to adapt to that stress, but also to increase our performance, focus, and resistance to states that can keep us from work.* The Soviet studies have been famous for their study of Eleuthero under different work conditions, such as in workers at car factories, seamen, and telegraph operators. In the case of the telegraph operators-a job that requires not only focus, but a quick reflex-the operators worked for five minutes in intensity, and the number of errors they made were recorded. Whereas the control group showed about a 30% increase in error rate, the Eleuthero group showed a 30% decrease in errors! * 2, 13

Quality of Supply

Another advantage of Eleuthero is that it is more plentiful in supply, and that translates into higher quality product being found in the marketplace. Safety: In the Soviet studies that involved over 2,000 individuals, no side effects were reported. Only instances where very high dosages of Eleuthero extract was taken in a medical setting has reported a few side effects being possible, such as headaches, high blood pressure, insomnia and palpitations. 1

The German Commission E reports the root to be contraindicated in hypertension. There have been other cautions for individuals that have rheumatic heart disease, myocardial infarctions, or febrile states avoid Eleuthero. There have been several studies on the use of Eleuthero in pregnancy and lactation, and no adverse effects found. The German Commission E does not contraindicate the use of Eleuthero for pregnancy or lactation. 1

Usage Recommendations: It is important to find a good quality Eleuthero. Sibergin® provides a high quality 5:1 standardized extract. This means that there are five parts of Eleuthero herb to one part of extract. Sibergin® also contains lecithin to increase the bioavailability of the Eleuthero extract. Sibergin® can be taken at maintenance levels of 500 mg daily.

You may start by taking one capsule (500 mg) upon rising, and then wait 20 minutes before eating for your body to absorb it fully. The daily intake of Eleuthero for at least 3-6 weeks is recommended to produce its adaptogenic and energetic benefits. 1, 2, 13 Eleuthero has either calming or energizing effects on people depending on the individual. For those who feel too stimulated, try altering the time of intake to be early in the day (before noon). Eleuthero is known to give a gentle stimulating effect that is different than caffeine, and will not cause “shakiness” or the “gitters”. 13

Chelation Information | Chelorex

Q: Why should I be concerned with toxic metal in my body?
A: There are at least 5,000 pages of US government funded toxicological reports found at the *ATSDR web site that document the presence of toxic metals in the environment. During my 35 plus years in medical practice I have seen persons with many health levels experience renewed health and energy by cleansing the body of toxic metals (via Chelation) and reducing their external exposure ( i.e. contaminated water, food, personal care products, toxic homes etc.) and internal exposure (i.e. amalgam fillings).

Q: Do I have Toxic Metals in me?
A: Over 90% of persons tested by hair analysis have at least one toxic metal near or at the limit the normal reference range, particularly metal workers, welder, mechanics, painters, printers, carpenters, plumbers, electricians, electronic technicians, jewelers and people who handle firearms, or solder. Heavy Metals are in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, the products we use and the objects we touch. Exposure is all but impossible to avoid. Heavy Metals build up within the body over a period of time and negatively impact our health and quality of life. A good place to start to see what your systemic load or total body burden of 16 heavy metals is to get a quality hair analysis.

Q: What is Oral Chelation?
A: Oral Chelation of toxic metals is a procedure that introduces a substance (natural or synthetic) into the body which bonds to toxic metals in blood and various tissues. The body then excretes the bound toxic metals through the kidney, GI tract, sweat glands and hair.

Q: What is the difference in Chelation methods available?
A: One of the most common forms of chelation is oral. Oral chelation involves taking a chelating agent by mouth in the form of pills or liquid. These can be taken at home, work or while on vacation. (usually 6 to 12 week time period). Cost ranges from $270 to $2,000 depending on the agent. Some like EDTA (orally) chelate a narrow spectrum of heavy metals at best and not effectively at all. Then there is (IV) intravenous chelation which utilizes synthetic chelator that require a visit (up to 30 or more) each time to a physicians office at a cost of $1000-$3000 not to mention the health risks and possible side effects of synthetic chelators. So the downsides of IV chelation are: known possible serious side effects, exorbitant cost and inconvenience.

Q: What is the best Chelating agent?
A: In addition to the ability to bind and remove toxic metals, an ideal chelator can do so without producing adverse effects. Some chelators have an increased risk of adverse reactions for four reasons. 1) Synthetic chelators must be detoxified. A high portion of people have inefficient glutathione dependent detoxification mechanisms and are already chemically sensitive, leading to severe side effects. 2) Synthetic chelators cause excessive toxic metal release in persons whose antioxidant defenses are depleted due to chronic metal poisoning resulting in immune suppression and free radical damage to the body. 3) EDTA has been shown to form a toxic complex with mercury which can damage the brain. 4) Chelators can cause significant essential trace metal depletion.

Q: Why do you prefer natural chelators?
A: Synthetic chelating agents have a higher incidence of adverse reactions because they release toxic metals in persons whose anti-oxidant defenses are sub optimal. Following a course of chelation, levels of toxic metals, especially lead, tend to rebound after an initial decrease because of ongoing release of lead from bone or recurrent environmental exposure. Clearly, what was needed was an effective chelating agent for all toxic metals, based on natural ingredients that penetrates the blood brain barrier and can be taken safely for an extended period of time at a reasonable cost with minimal or no side effects. Using a biochemistry and clinical experience, a combination of individual natural ingredients that performed well on individuals without adverse side effects. Listed here are the individual ingredients and some of their functions. Using the most cost effective natural chelators available, we performed clinical testing which thus far has exceeded expectations with removal rates on 16 toxic metals in the normal reference range as high as 98% for a (90 dose 45 day) regime.

Q: Should I be on a chelating agent before I remove my amalgam fillings?
A: Synthetic chelators are contraindicated in this situation. However our formulation can be safely taken in order to protect against transient surges of mercury which can occur during amalgam replacement. CHELOREX® not only binds the mercury, but protects tissues from free radicals by raising glutathione levels, providing antioxidants, and supplying protective trace minerals (Zn, Mg, and Se).

Q: Why do you recommend hair analysis?
A: Hair Analysis is the best indicator of exposure and total body burden for toxic metals. It is used by government, private industry, law enforcement, and by natural health practitioners. It provides a vast amount of information regarding toxic and trace minerals which relate to health and nutrition, at a tiny fraction of the cost of other methods such as blood and urine testing which only reflect recent toxic metal exposure. It is the only practical method of assessing for multiple toxic metal exposures, which is extremely common. It also should be used to monitor the progress of chelation therapy. Residual levels of lead and other toxic metals may indicate the need for additional chelation with CHELOREX®. This is crucial, especially where there is continuing occupational or environmental exposure.
