How does the alginate in Nordic Naturals' detoxification products bind to environmental toxins?

Nordic Naturals Product Information, Research, and Frequentl...
Nordic Naturals' detoxification products contain Fucus and Laminaria algae which has alginate in its cell walls. Alginate is documented to molecularly bind to heavy metals. Therefore, it only binds to heavy metals by molecular weight. Alginate does not interfere with nutrient absorption because its binding is selective by molecular weight. It does not bind to minerals such as iron, calcium, etc.

What is the relationship between environmental toxins and ASD?

Autism Society of America: Environmental Health Frequently A...
Findings indicate that many children with autism or those who are at risk of developing autism have a metabolic impairment that reduces their ability to rid their bodies of heavy metals and other toxins. Build-up of these toxins in the body can lead to brain and nervous system damage and developmental delays (see We’re Loaded with Toxins: Analyzing the Toxic Body Burden of Americans by Judy Chinitz Gorman).

What are the 'other omega-3s' listed on the Nordic Naturals supplement labels?

Nordic Naturals Product Information, Research, and Frequentl...
The 'other omega-3s' listed on Nordic Naturals labels refer to omega-3 fatty acids (different from EPA and DHA) that naturally exist in fish oil in low levels. The 'other omega-3s' include fatty acids such as DPA (docospentaenoic acid) and ETA (eicosatetranoic acid). These fats are involved in essential fatty acid metabolic pathways in the body. EPA and DHA are the best studied omega-3 fats and are considered the most functional omega-3s.

How long does it take Nordic Naturals to get from fish to capsule?

Nutri-Link, linking science and nutrition - Nordic Naturals
The primary goal for Nordic Naturals is to optimise freshness levels in our fish oils. We strive to minimise the time from catch to processing, and ideally the fish is processed within hours of being caught. During processing, we consistently monitor freshness levels of the raw material using acidity levels (an accurate measure of freshness). Even though standard acidity allowance is 1.0, Nordic Naturals does not allow more than 0.1, and in many instances our acidity level measures 0.01.

What are alginate dressings?

Alginate Dressings: Frequently Asked Questions
Highly absorbent, biodegradable alginate dressings are derived from seaweed. They have been successfully applied to cleanse a wide variety of secreting lesions. The high absorption is achieved via strong hydrophilic gel formation This limits wound secretions and minimizes bacterial contamination. Alginate fibres trapped in a wound are readily biodegraded [1]. Alginate dressings maintain a physiologically moist microenvironment that promotes healing and the formation of granulation tissue.

Does it remove toxins that are not positively charged?

Frequently Asked Questions
The zeolite in solution attracts and traps positively charged particles that fit into the pores and channels of the zeolite cage. These include heavy metals, nitrosamines, and some viral particles. Most pharmaceuticals, herbicides, and hormone mimetics are either uncharged or negatively charged, and so have little affinity with zeolite. However, liquid zeolite does appear to have an indirect effect on these compounds.

Can the body’s self-detoxification system discharge the toxins?

LFI
Bowel frequency and the volume discharged determine the removal of toxins. However, our body is unable to remove all the toxins that accumulate within. Also, part of the stool is usually retained in the large intestine. B&H Capsule helps to remove these toxins in our bodies.

What are the main indications for alginate dressings?

Alginate Dressings: Frequently Asked Questions
Alginates have been shown to be useful in a variety of situation; sloughy wounds which also produce a degree of exudate may be dressed with alginate dressings such as Sorbsan, Tegagen, Kaltostat (or other gel forming polysaccharide dressings). The gel which is formed as these products absorb exudate forms a moist covering over the slough preventing it from drying out.

Are there any side effects of alginate dressings?

Alginate Dressings: Frequently Asked Questions
Few studies mention side effects; certainly alginate use is characterised by convenience in application and removal, as confirmed by descriptive studies [1]. One study considered two treatment protocols for the management of patients with non-infected cavity wounds, using data obtained from both the community and the outpatients clinic. Patients were treated with either a polyurethane foam hydrophilic dressing (Allevyn) or a calcium sodium alginate dressing (Kaltostat).

How does this process of detoxification work?

Platinum Energy Systems :: Frequently Asked Questions
There are more sweat glands in your feet per inch than anywhere on your body. The array creates an energetic effect that assists the detoxification process by attracting a positive and negative ion exchange between your feet and the water. The salt increases the conductivity of the water so that the effect can occur. Hence, the colour changes seen in the water are related to the ionic exchange occurring.
