What is the official response to this product containing arsenic beyond FDA permissible limits?

Great information! Thank you so much for that. So everyone knows, the suggested dosage is 40 drops. If we use the dilution as suggested here, then a person would want to take that with approximately 16 ounces of water. Not a totally unreasonable amount to drink in one sitting but I think most people would probably want to break that up into two 8 ounces drinks with 20 drops each.

I don't know nor have I ever read or heard that ConcenTrace minerals were found to exceed permissible arsenic levels. Sine the FDA working in tantum and conspiring with Big Pharma to protect our health, I would think that if such a test (or a series of tests, or whatever, jeeze) that they would have already pulled the product for the sake of our health and the profit of Big Pharma, or something like that. Hope this helps!

SS, This has nothing to do with something being "banned". The bottom line is that most any "real" pesticide will have a federally issued EPA registration number. These numbers signify that a product is both safe for use where listed on its label and that the material will actually control the listed pests it claims it can control on its label. Now once a product gets approved and is granted a federal number, it still needs to be registered in each state. And though most states charge a nominal fee for this registration process, some charge more. A lot more. And some states take it a step further and might decide they don't think a product is "okay" or safe enough for use so they won't allow it to be registered. So in the end, just because a product comes to market and is granted a federal EPA number, it does not mean it can automatically be sold in every state. In fact I know this particular product isn't registered in some states so this would be the reason its not available at this time. Cheers, Jonathan Customer Care U-Spray Bugspray

Supposedly, according to their website, they farm it in such a way that arsenic is not a problem. I would suggest contacting Lundberg for any further information just to be on the safe side.

You poor 1 to 2 capfuls in a glass of juice. As for the arsenic ingredient, arsenic comes in many different forms and it's not always poisonous for you. It states right on the bottle that the taste is not good and that you should mix it in juice. This is an excellent product I use it for my joints and I also it also helps my bone spur on the bottom of my foot.

I have examined the bottle label and see a note stating" Information regarding the contents and levels of metals in this product is available on the Internet at http://www.regulatory-info-ba.com When applied as directed, this product meets the guidelines for metals adopted by Association of American Plant Control Officials. I hope this may be of some help in answering the question regarding Bayer Advanced All-In-One Rose & Flower Care Concentrated 3 Systemic Products in 1. ;

I don't know, but not aware of FDA having jurisdiction since it does not come in direct contact with food or water.

I can't answer that. Obviously it does not say it contains lead because that would be illegal. We've been drinking it non-religiously for 3 years or so and I have not succumb to lead poisoning. Are you worried about the arsenic content of rice? There are toxins in everything, take care of your liver and you should be fine. Look up studies on toxin contents of the deceased, both rich and poor are full of toxins when they die, they are just different ones from eating fresh fish (mercury) to heavy metals from canned foods. This stuff is a good, hypo allergenic protein powder. New car, new carpet, new things in general are way more toxic than rice. I can't answer that.

This is an excellent product, but because it is a concentrated humic shale vegetation, by itself, it tastes nasty. However, if you mix it with orange juice and/or a liquid supplement there is no after taste at all. As for the arsenic, there are two types; the first is inorganic mined ore which is highly poisonous. Second, is the organic type found in plants, sea food, etc, and found in this trace mineral product. Since the plants and sea food have converted arsenic into an absorbable form it is completely safe for humans to consume, and is actually a necessary trace mineral for joint and tendon health. Hope that helps. This is an excellent product, but because it is a concentrated humic shale vegetation, by itself, it tastes nasty.

If it is was not "authorized" by FDA, then we could not sell in the USA, and amazon would not let us sell. But it has not been "evaluated" by FDA, as dietary supplements do not need evaluation as long as they fall under FDA guidelines.

I have contacted the company to find out what the rest of the ingredients are. After all, if I am concerned about what I use in my garden, I should be entitled to know what is in it. This is the response I got: "Ingredients considered potentially hazardous are listed on the product label and on the MSDS. The unlisted ingredients are generally regarded as safe by the United States EPA. Unlisted ingredients are considered proprietary and are not generally disclosed. Complete formulation may be released directly to a doctor and/or medical authority when/if required. " To me this rings alarm bells! I ended up purchasing pure neem oil. You dilute it, just as you would this product concentrate. Neem oil is the only active ingredient here anyway. This way you do not have any undisclosed ingredients to deal with. I have obviously passed on purchasing this product.

Lead,arsenic,ebola,asbestos......Just kidding...I have no idea but finding 100% pure most likely isn't possible.

Monosodium Glutamate (MSG), Aspartame, and many other toxic chemicals that evidence based research has confirmed dangerous have been approved by the FDA. I hope it ISN'T approved by the FDA, it might be good for you. Anyone buying a Standard Process product anywhere than from a licensed and board certified health care professional is NOT getting the true product. Follow the facts and look into Standard Process policies. Heads are going to roll after whoever is responsible for selling them online is found under the ongoing federal investigation.

Thanks for the info. I guess we all have to decide where we will draw the line when it comes to toxic exposure. Btw I didn't create this product. (I'm saying that because you said "you".) This is good to know though moving forward. Thanks.

I looked at the container of Ornamec grass herbicide which we have and read the list of ingredients. There is no mention of arsenic. It seems to contain mostly petroleum distillates. It does mention that it is harmful to fish so not to use near water areas. I have a hunch that the reason your lawn service doesn't want to use this is the cost. I'm not sure the exact cost at present but when I bought it, it was over $60.00 for 1 quart. I bought this because of the rave reviews I read regarding it's effectiveness against Bermuda grass. Further, I don't believe the government would allow any product to be sold which contained arsenic. Hope this helps!

I don't trust EPA or CDC or Big Pharma, I have an ozone generator so if i want to provide oxygen in my room, seeing that above 200nm UV light converts ozone back into oxygen, that's what I'll do.
