Quick and reliable heavy metal testing is achieved
with the Heavy Metal Screening Test.

The Heavy Metal Screening Test:

	Easy heavy metal testing can be performed at home with quick and reliable results
	Obtains a base line for toxic heavy metal concentration in your body and water using urine, saliva, drinking water and bath water
	Tracks your body's detoxification/chelation capacity over time as you detoxify
	Objective, heavy metal testing with scientifically proven test procedure validated for over 60 years

You can use the Heavy Metal Screening Test to monitor:

	Urine
	Saliva
	Food
	Water – including drinking, bottled, distilled, bath, shower, pool, hot tub and spa
	Food, dust and paint

Heavy Metal Screening Test identifies the following metals:

	Mercury
	Lead
	Copper
	Zinc
	Cadmium
	Nickel

Research Supporting Heavy Metal Test
The Heavy Metal Screening test is the world's first immediate method of screening the body for heavy metals. This is scientific test that is fast, easy to do and can be an early warning system for environmental hazards that can affect YOUR health.

The   Heavy Metal Screening Kit enables you to determine the presence of ionic toxic metals or how well your body can cope with the toxic heavy metal ions. Excessive heavy metals increase oxidative damage and displace essential minerals. Both of these effects can have serious consequences in your body.

The scientifically documented heavy metal testing allows the detection of free electrically active heavy metal ions in an aqueous solution by means of a simple procedure and in just a few minutes. This exploratory procedure, employed as a home test tube screening tool, is based on the dithizone reaction method which has been known to chemical science for more than 60 years.

Heavy Metal Test Samples 

The Heavy Metal Screening Test was developed by Nissen Medica Inc. as an easy, accurate, inexpensive home-based process to determine the presence of toxic heavy metals in your body and/or environment. The exploratory procedure is based on the dithizone reagent, which has been known to chemical science for more than 60 years.

Use of the Heavy Metal Screening Test is intended as an aid in understanding your body’s heavy metal detoxification capacities and may serve as an early indicator of heavy metal intoxication. Heavy Metal Screening Test identifies the following metals: mercury, lead, copper, zinc, cadmium and nickel.

The information and the test kit provided is for general educational purposes only. The test is not intended to replace advice from a competent and knowledgeable healthcare professional. If you are experiencing serious symptoms (nausea, vomiting, headaches, sweating, difficulty breathing, convulsions, and trembling) or you believe you have acute heavy metal poisoning, contact your health care provider immediately. Seek qualified healthcare advice for the treatment of any illness or disease.

The Heavy Metal Screening Test is designed to be an effective component of your comprehensive health regime. Used in concert with other therapies proven to minimize the effects of environmental pollution, Heavy Metals Screening Test allows you, the health conscious consumer, to accurately assess your wellness action plan and take control of your health!
