HumiKleanse™ -- a brand new chelating product AIM just recently added to their wonderful line of innovative products . This product comes with a long history of cleaning the human body of toxins and heavy metals.  The following additional information should prove valuable in understanding how HumiKleanse™ rids the human body of toxic substances. 

"HumiKleanse™  What's so special about it?"

What makes HumiKleanse™ unique is the humic and fulvic acids (Humifulvate®), which are constituents of the natural earth product, peat. The Humifulvate® surrounds each mineral and metal and carries it into the body, releasing just the right amount to meet the individual needs of each body cell. Sounds incredible but call it natural intelligence. There's no problem of an overdose even if you drink the whole bottle.

"What's so new about HumiKleanse™?"

There are dozens of products on the market today with more or less the same list of ingredients. But no other product has this unique combination of humic and fulvic acids, the  Humifulvate®. Humifulvate® is a bonding (or chelating) agent which envelopes each micro and macro-element turning the inorganic minerals into organic chelated minerals and gives one just the right amount.

And because of this built-in dosage mechanism, there's no chance of an overdose!

"Does HumiKleanse™ really detoxify?"

Many products have promised to remove the heavy metals, namely, lead, cadmium, mercury, and aluminum ingested from the air; industrial pollution, from the diet, or even from the fillings in one's teeth.

"If HumiKleanse™ takes out the Mercury, will it also remove the fillings in my teeth?"

NO! HumiKleanse™ is absorbed into the blood stream and then is carried to the body cells. Mercury leaches from the teeth fillings and is absorbed into the blood stream and thus to the body cells. The Humifulvate® chelate in HumiKleanse™ and mercury meet in the body cells. If they meet in the gut, liver, or blood stream, the Humifulvate® will immediately envelop the mercury or other heavy metals and take them out of the body.

HumiKleanse™ doesn't just remove these poisons; it exchanges them for something good! The secret is the Humifulvate® which has a natural, ionic affinity to heavy metals. When Humifulvate® has done its primary job of releasing the organically bound mineral into the body, it will then bond onto any heavy metals present and take them out in the body's waste.

Due to its remarkable bonding capacity, the Humifulvate® in HumiKleanse™ replaces the toxic element with a beneficial, necessary one. So HumiKleanse™ only gives one what the body needs by swapping toxins for essential minerals vital to human health.

"Where do these poisonous metals co me from?"

Everybody's heard about lead pollution, but perhaps a lesser known and possibly greater threat you hardly hear about is Cadmium.

 Cadmium:

The most serious source of cadmium poisoning is the smoking of tobacco. The most serious consequence of chronic cadmium poisoning is cancer (lung and prostate). Tobacco leaves contain cadmium. A tobacco addict smoking 20 cigarettes daily absorbs 2-4 micrograms of cadmium each day and accumulates 0.5 mg. of cadmium in a year. This may not sound like a great deal but a little cadmium goes a long way! Cadmium is absorbed quickly by the lungs.

Smoking doubles the average daily intake of Cadmium.

Most plastic packaging depends on cadmium for its "plastic" quality. And a certain amount of this cadmium leaches out of the wrapping into our food. The problem is that even a tiny amount of cadmium is dangerous. Cadmium is one of the key factors in the development of Osteoporosis. Cadmium is known to cause kidney and liver damage. Cadmium has a major effect on the testicles and ovaries and can be a major cause of infertility. Cadmium also hinders the body's ability to absorb essential minerals. Some recent research indicates that cadmium may be a major contributing factor to the development of breast cancer.

Cadmium is used in electroplating, industrial paints, battery factories.

The most extreme exposure comes from smoking or from working in smelting, welding, or shipbuilding industries.

 Lead:

We all know that lead is dangerous. That is why so many governments have banned the use of lead-containing gasoline. The lead emitted by the car's exhaust enters the atmosphere. Lead poisoning is caused when lead is absorbed into the body, most often through the ingestion of dust, soil, and paint containing lead.

The effects of lead poisoning are very serious with children being most significantly affected by this heavy metal. A child can have already absorbed lead into its body during pregnancy if the mother was exposed to lead. Children and adults can be exposed by breathing, eating or drinking materials containing lead and as well as through skin contact. Because children are not yet fully developed, the lead poisoning affects many aspects of their progression and growth. Speech delay, hyperactivity, attention deficit disorder, learning disabilities, behavior disorders, neurological and renal damage, stunted growth, anemia, hearing loss, and cognitive damage can result.

One in five urban children are affected by lead poisoning. Lead poisoning affects children under the age of six the most often because they still have a developing brain and nervous system. Lead interferes with this development. The blood brain barrier has not fully formed by the age of six, which increases the chances of severe damage due to lead exposure.

Lead can affect a child's IQ results.

An important recent study by the University of Pennsylvania has shown a direct link between high lead levels in young people and juvenile delinquency. (Dr. H. Needleman, Journal of Neurotoxicology/Tetrology, 7 Jan 2003)

Lead exposure can be harmful to babies before being born because lead is able to cross the placenta, causing the amount of lead ingested by the child to be up to 50% attributed to the fetal absorption. Any exposure to lead during the prenatal period hurts the development of the child after birth, making it especially important for pregnant women to avoid lead ingestion and exposure.

Lead poisoning symptoms include irritability, stomachache, poor appetite, diarrhea, distractibility, and lethargy. Over 1 million workers in more than 100 different occupations may be exposed to lead every day. There are a large number of people working in jobs that expose them to lead. Workers may ingest and inhale lead dust and fumes, as well as bring it from their job sites into their homes if they do not wash up well.

 Mercury:

The Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland was a grim reflection of environmental diseases in the workplace. The term "mad hatter" dates from the 19th century, when felt hat makers showed the effects of mercury poisoning resulting from their exposure to mercury salts during the production process, namely, personality changes, nervousness, trembling, and even dementia.

Mercury is a neurotoxin, meaning it affects the nervous system. Mercury is acutely hazardous as a vapor and in the form of its water-soluble salts, which corrode membranes of the body. Chronic mercury poisoning can cause irreversible brain, liver, and kidney damage. Because of increasing water pollution, significant quantities of mercury have been found in some species of fish, such as tuna and swordfish.

For a number of years, dental professionals have been aware that the mercury in dental amalgams can gently leach out from the fillings into the body. A growing number of dentists and dental surgeons are trying to overcome this problem by replacing the amalgam with new, high-tech fillings. The trouble is that there really is no substitute for the "good old amalgam". The new types of filling are much more expensive, are not as tough, and have to be replaced every 4 or 5 years.

Amalgam fillings will generally last a person's lifetime but during this time infinitesimal quantities of mercury can leach out of the fillings and accumulate to hazardous levels.

If one is exposed to any form of mercury repeatedly or for an extended period, chronic mercury poisoning can result affecting the nervous system, kidneys, and cause birth defects. There are several symptoms:

* Gingivitis: The gums become soft and spongy, the teeth loosen, sores may develop, and there may be increased salivation.

* Mood and mental changes: People with chronic mercury poisoning often have wide mood swings, becoming irritable, frightened, depressed, or excited very quickly for no apparent reason. Such people may become extremely upset at any criticism, lose self-confidence, and become apathetic. Hallucinations, memory loss, and inability to concentrate can occur.

* Nerve damage: It may start with a fine tremor (shaking) of the hand, loss of sensitivity in hands and feet, difficulty in walking, or slurred speech. Tremors may also occur in the tongue and eyelids. Eventually this can progress to trouble balancing and walking. It has even caused paralysis and death in rare cases.

The last three decades have seen a steady increase of aluminum in our environment and diet. Many junk and fake foods contain additives, for example raising agents in breads, muffins and donuts. Other sources include antacids, buffered aspirin, antiperspirants, and, indirectly, from aluminum cooking utensils.

Aluminum is harmful to all life forms. It damages all types of tissue. Aluminum is a protoplasmic poison and a pernicious and persistent neurotoxin. No living systems use aluminum as part of a biochemical process. It has a tendency to accumulate in the brain and bones.  

The principal symptom of aluminum poisoning is the loss of intellectual function, namely, forgetfulness, inability to concentrate, and in extreme cases, full blown dementia. It is also known to cause bone softening and bone mass loss, kidney and other soft tissue damage; in large doses it can cause cardiac arrest.
