Metal-Free

THE ULTIMATE IN HEAVY METAL DETOXIFICATION

In this toxic world, many substances have been proven to adversely affect the human body. Among those leading the list are mercury and other heavy metals. The most common source of this is dental amalgam fillings. As reported by the Townsend Letter for Doctors & Patients, “When amalgams were introduced to the US in 1833 by two French entrepreneurs, the Crawcour brothers, amalgam use was denounced by a substantial number of American dentists. So strong was the opposition to amalgams that the American Society of Dental Surgeons, formed in 1840, required its members to sign pledges promising not to use them.. In 1848, the Society found 11 of its New York members guilty of ‘malpractice for using dental amalgam’ and suspended them. The amalgam safety debate was revived in this country first by a 1989 Environmental Protection Agency declaration that amalgams are a hazardous substance under the Superfund law and then a December 1990 broadcast of a program by ‘60 Minutes’ that presented a devastating critique of amalgams.”

While the medical community does not recognize that dental and environmental mercury causes disease, many practitioners find that patients benefit from products that assist them in detoxifying metals from their body.

In our patient experience using METAL-FREE as part of a mercury detoxification protocol, the period of time required for program completion has been 30-50% faster than without using METAL-FREE. This translates to a smoother and faster reduction in mercury toxicity.

METAL-FREE is the first in series of exclusive, scientifically formulated products that are produced by enzyme-potentiated microfermentation. This product is an extremely potent heavy metal remover.

Introduction

In order to understand how METAL-FREE works, one must first be familiar with how the active ingredients actually bind to heavy metals in the body.

The peptides in METAL-FREE bind to heavy metals at several sites on the metal molecule rather than at one site. This creates a non-competitive irreversible bond. On the other hand, with other popular chelators, a competitive reversible bond is created, allowing the possibility of metal reattachment within the body. The peptide’s affinity to metal is several orders of magnitude stronger than other chelators. This means that when a metal is picked up by METAL-FREE it will not lose the particle along its way out of the body. Metals may be removed in the urine, sweat or fecal matter. Heavier metals, such as lead and mercury, are principally removed through the bowels, while metals such as tin and aluminum are more commonly removed in the urine.

Further, the product is orally active as it is absorbed into the oral mucosa and is assimilated throughout the body, which includes crossing the blood-brain barrier.

Method of Detoxification

The cell receptor sites in the body have a lesser affinity to heavy metals as compared to METAL-FREE. This means the locations in the body where metal is being stored will release this metal when the product pervades its area. When the metal is released from the receptor site, a molecule in the METAL-FREE formula attaches itself onto the metal or toxin, which keeps it soluble and in circulation to be removed. The formula attaches itself using all three methods of bonding (ionic, covalent and hydrogen) while DMPS uses only ionic. METAL-FREE’s triple bond prevents the metal from being lost and reattaching itself into another area of the body.

METAL-FREE Formula

METAL-FREE is a unique product and is a very potent heavy metal remover. As you will read below, the key ingredients work together to accomplish its task of helping the body detoxify heavy metals. For example, the peptides derived from the algae form a cage-like structure, which bind to heavy metals in the body, which are then eliminated. The final solution is filtered to nanogram units, allowing it to be readily absorbed by the body.

Microactivated algae, lactobacillus and bifidus extracts

This is a culture of bacteria involved in a microfermentation process with algae and the following nutrients. Certain nutrients from the culture are then extracted and filtered using a four-step process.

Peptidylgluconase

Peptidylgluconase is an enzyme with binding properties produced by the lactobacilli during fermentation. It is also involved in glucose metabolism.

Glycine

Glycine is a component of a vital bile acid, and along with glutamic acid and cysteine, makes up glutathione, a free radical fighter and key detoxifier of the liver.

Ionic sea minerals

An ionic mineral is an element that has either positive or negative charge. Ionic minerals are part of a process that allows the body to facilitate changes that move nutrients to the areas that need them. The body relies on ionic minerals and trace elements to conduct and generate billions of tiny electrical impulses. It has long been known that the blood contains the same minerals as are found in seawater.

Hydrated colloidal silica

Silica is found in every living substance on earth, and is a vital component to the health and regeneration of human cells. It is a basic constituent for proper body function and a key element in the following body components: the lungs, the spleen, the lymph nodes, the blood, connective tissues, the nails, the hair, the skin, the skeletal system (bones), the blood vessels, cartilage and tendons.

Glutathione

Glutathione is a small peptide that dumps free radicals as well as being an antioxidant, heavy metal detoxifier, protector of red blood cell integrity and a transporter of various proteins. It also helps to regenerate vitamin C.

Vitamin C*

As an antioxidant, Vitamin C can help prevent damage to DNA, lipids and proteins caused by free radical molecules. Studies have shown that Vitamin C can also help remove heavy metals.

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance with physiological therapeutic activity. It is a highly viscous substance with numerous biological functions that is found in a variety of body tissues. In the body, it is part of a jelly-like complex necessary for transportation of essential nutrients from the bloodstream, via the capillary network, to the living cells of the skin.

Fulvic, Ferulic and Lipoic Acids

Fulvic acids are excellent natural chelators and are vitally important in the nutrition of cells. Ferulic acid is an organic acid, and its major physiological role is likely to be its potent antioxidant and photo-protective function. Lipoic acid has been used for many years to protect the liver and to help detoxify the body of heavy metals, such as excessive copper and iron and toxic metals such as cadmium, lead and mercury.

Chlorella**

Numerous studies have been done on chlorella’s detoxifying effect on cadmium, heavy metals, PCBs and chlordecone (a harmful insecticide).

Acetylcysteine

Despite being little known, N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a powerful antioxidant and a powerful tool in maintaining immunity. It also can detoxify heavy metals such as mercury, lead and cadmium.

*Vitamin C in nanogram amounts.

**Chlorella: METAL-FREE has been analyzed by King James Medical and Doctor’s Data laboratories for mercury contamination (as well as other heavy metals) and was shown to be free of such contamination. We also regularly perform Quality Control and in-office testing to monitor the product and ensure no heavy metals are present in METAL-FREE.

General Guidelines:

1. Product should be shaken well before use.

2. 1 - 8 sprays should be taken daily on an empty stomach based on individual patient tolerance. Patients should be started out on a low daily dose, such as 2-4 sprays per day. Once they are comfortable at a certain level, they can gradually be moved up to 8 sprays per day or more according to your recommendation.

3. The optimum way to use the product is to have the patient take one daily dose in the morning and then wait 30-45 minutes before eating. Ideally, METAL­FREE should be taken 30-45 minutes away from food, before and after. However, if this is not convenient or possible, it is better to take the product rather than not taking it at all.

4. Once taken, the liquid is held under the tongue for as long as possible, this is usually 1-2 minutes. The purpose of this step is maximal absorption through the oral mucosa.

5. Pregnant and lactating mothers should not use METAL-FREE and are advised to contact their healthcare practitioner about being on any type of detox during this period.

6. For children under 12 years of age, a healthcare practitioner should be contacted prior to use.

7. Product will keep best if refrigerated. If kept refrigerated, a bottle will remain good up to one year. Outside the fridge, it can last approximately 6 months as long as it is not in direct sunlight and within room temperature.

8. METAL-FREE should not be used on patients with oral metals, such as amalgams. Research is in progress to determine if alternate methods of ingestion are possible, such as a nasal spray to bypass oral metals. However, insufficient research exists at this time to be able to recommend this.

9. In the event of any increase of tiredness, headache, mental fog or other adverse reaction, discontinue use and consult your healthcare practitioner immediately.

What Patients are Saying about the Metal Detoxification Program

“When I discovered I had mercury poisoning it was actually a relief as no past medical handlings were able to find anything. Then I was put on a mercury detox program. Some of the benefits have been: 1) No longer sick after eating, 2) What I thought was arthritis in my knees is virtually gone, 3) Increased ability to study with concentration and understanding, 4) Improved skin tone, 5) Improved sense of well-being and calmness, b) Near total elimination of ‘brain-fog’ to date.”

Another patient wrote, “I’ve had some excellent results so far, e.g.: concentration greatly improved, mentally more organized and to the point, great calmness (used to spend much of my life in a frantic fear) . . . great improvements in memory.”

A practitioner had the following to say, “I am writing as a testimonial to your great product. This is my favorite product of 2000! It is very tolerable to patients, and they feel better and test better on it. This is easier on the body than DMPS or DMSA.”

One patient on METAL-FREE recently wrote in from South Africa, “I reached a very nice stable point . . . body feeling very robust and strong and relaxed with a nice feeling of well-being . . . The METAL-FREE had a lot to do with this.”

And finally, one woman said, “My symptoms of tiredness, no energy, mood swings, insomnia, fever chills, nausea, depression, lack of memory and concentration are all gone. It is amazing how long I have been having them and had no idea it was related to mercury poisoning!”
