I've read this can help eliminate heavy metals. Any truth to that claim? Thanks

From The Global Healing site- "ingestion of fulvic acid is known to increase the ability of a cell to release toxic metals." Also, you may want to email Dr. Nuzum. He has done decades of research on fulvic acid. drnuzum.com

I have no idea. I am taking 5 drops per day to help my digestive system extract nutrients from my food. A beneficial side effect would be the removal of toxins. I believe it may help by scavenging free radicals. But I don't recall reading any claims that it can eliminate heavy metals. In honesty, I have not researched that, but I will continue taking the product because I feel healthier.

I haven't heard of this. I know that when It is used it is recommended that you wash your hands so you don't get it in your eyes or mouth. I would have to look into it more before doing this. Maybe contact the company.

Yes. Forensic Food Lab at http://labs.naturalnews.com tested for heavy metals which I have issues with copper. Zero Water was the best at removing all heavy metals. Brita removed 8.6% whereas, Zerowater removed 99.1% of copper. 100% on some metals. All were 99.1% or higher.

For me, also a "no" on the energy boost. It just seems to flush out your system. I hope that continued use does balance my body's PH.

No I would not think so. It wants you to remove your Carbon becuase it promotes plant growth and algae. Purigen ( which I run in all my tanks) will have no effect on carbon and or "no more algae" chemical.I use API "algae fix" seems to work well.

You have to consider heavy metals and some toxins of course. You would want to know what is upstream, and if there has been any dumping from factories...etc, etc. Common sense and caution is a must. Still...these are a must have.

Derby I'm not sure. It says it removes lead, chlorine, ammonia, and cysts. I would contact the manufacturer to make sure.

Not to my knowledge and it's not stated on the bottle. It's purpose is to withdraw harmful metals from the body through elimination

i think just the smell. but if you read the label of this product it should tell you what it does. most i think it says that it reduces harmful bacterias and chemicals but not remove. again, pls double check the label about what it claims. regards

I suggest removing as much as you can with a razor blade and then soaking in dishwashing soap and hot water. My review mentions I used a citrus based cleaner which is also effective. WD-40 works great on these sorts of things but I didn't want to use because I felt the post WD-40 cleanup and possible toxins were too much to deal with. I don't recommend aggressive heating or really aggressive scrubbing with anything like a wire brush as there is a remote possibility of igniting the magnesium.

I cannot find any reference to the ceramic filters actually removing heavy metal ions.The company does say that their black filters remove heavy metal ions including arsenic.

It is designed to remove additional contaminants like chloramines, iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, copper, mercury, and lead. Many municipal water supplies have switched from using chlorine as their primary disinfectant to chloramines which are harder to remove. Regular coconut shell or bituminous carbon isn't going to treat chlormaines effectively, so this product uses catalytic carbon and KDF85 which is effective.

Wow, this is a great question! I do not know the answer, but am curious now. I have emailed Omica directly. I'll keep you posted on what they say. I believe their products, especially this shilajit is far superior to many others on the market so I hope we will find very low levels of heavy metals. Interestingly, one of the many benefits of shilajit is detoxing heavy metals. This is the best shilajit I have found so far. Aside from straight tar shilajit which is very expensive and hard to get. I've had great results from it and love how smokey and dark it is. Please keep me posted if you reach an answer from a different source. Thanks!

My guess is that these are probably somewhat arbitrary claims as the lifespan of the filter is likely dependent on the chlorine content of the water, the hardness of the water etc. I'm no engineer but this probably works by chemical reaction of copper (in filter) and its capturing of chlorine molecules (and others?) somehow...the more chlorine you have, more copper neutralized in the process...? Anyway, I find my filters to last at least six months and seem to be effective for almost a year...

I'm not sure if it filters out arsenic or not, but would imagine it would remove it. What levels of arsenic are in question?? Have you asked the manufacturer?? Would be interested in knowing the answer. Thanks

No, it just kills the micro organisms. Might try an activated carbon filter.

It's safe and non-toxic and it cleans great. But I would check with your local health department first. The manufacturer could probably email you a MSDS (material safety data sheet) to submit to your agency.
