A heavy metal urine
test is now easy to do at
home with the Improved
Heavy Metal
Screening Test.
The following heavy metal testing
procedure improves the results obtained
using older test methods.
Your body has a difficult time removing heavy metals
if your urine is acidic. By testing and adjusting your urine pH
to normal levels you
will help your body remove the toxic heavy metals through the
kidneys and into the urine.
|
Step 1 |
Avoid
vitamin and mineral supplements for at least
12 hours.
|
|
|
Step 2 |
Collect
your first morning urine sample in a clean
container.
|

|
|
Step 3 |
Test the
pH of your urine. Quickly dip a small piece
of pH paper into and out of your urine.
Instantly compare the color of the paper to
the pH chart provided.
|

|
|
Step 4 |
If your
urine pH is 6.5 or higher you may continue
to the Step
5.
If
you urine pH is less than 6.5 your urine is
acidic and you may not be eliminating metals
properly.
You
may want to buffer your body, Step
4a, to improve the removal of heavy
metals and accuracy of the Heavy Metal
Screening Test.
|
Step
4a
You may do a combination of the following If
you need to buffer and remove acid from your
body:
1.
Consume
5 cups of vegetables and fruit the day prior
to your morning urine
collection.
2.
Take calcium 500mg and magnesium 200mg twice
daily
3.
Mix
two teaspoonfuls of baking soda into 4 oz of
carbon filtered water and drink prior to
going to bed.
4.
Repeat Steps 1, 2 and 3.
|
|
Step 5 |
Open test-tube and place one small square of
the Test Paper into test tube
solution.
|

|
|
Step 6 |
Shake test-tube gently until solution turns
green.(Within 30 –60 seconds)
|

|
|
Step 7 |
Add 3 ml
of the urine, with the help of the pipette,
into the test-tube. The test-tube is now
filled up to the 4ml line.
Place
the red cap on the
test-tube.
Shake
vigorously for 15-30 seconds, stop and allow
the solution to react for 1
minute.
|

|
|
Step 8 |
Observe the band/ring of color at the top of
the solution and compare with the Color
Comparison Chart.
The green
color changed to a purple/pink color thus the
heavy metal ion concentration is
high.
Color
remains green. No heavy metal ions are
present.

Interpretation
Any color change from green, viewed directly on
the liquid surface level of the test tube, represents the
presence of free metal ions. Compare with the color chart
to find the degree of metal concentration.
Heavy Metal Screening Test reagents only bind to the unbound or
free metal ions - metals which have not been neutralized by the
body. In a healthy body with a well-functioning detoxification
system, there should be no free heavy metals found in the
urine. Heavy metal ions present in food, amalgam fillings, tap
water, bathing water, pools, hot tubs, dust, dishware, etc. may
contribute to heavy metal intoxication.
The color chart indicates the concentration of metals only; the
type of metal present is secondary, since all free metal ions
are toxic to our body. Free or unbound metals increase free
radical production a million times – free radicals have been
linked to all degenerative diseases, including cancer. If your
self-test shows the presence of free heavy metals, a
detoxification process should be undertaken and all potential
sources of contamination should tested and
eliminated.
You can use Heavy Metal Screening Test
to assess the effectiveness of your detoxification and
water filtering process.
*When testing urine, test results indicating no metals present
suggest one of two possibilities. Either the urine is indeed
free of heavy metals, or the body is subject to advanced metal
toxicity in which the body’s capacity (through liver, kidneys,
intestine, etc.) to cope with free metal ions is totally
exhausted. If other members of your household have heavy metal
concerns consult your health care professional for further
investigation.
