According to Chemistry International Vol 23, No.6 November 2001 - "Heavy Metals" - A Meaningless Term Over the past two decades, the term "heavy metals" has been used increasingly in various publications and in legislation related to chemical hazards and the safe use of chemicals. It is often used as a group name for metals and semimetals (metalloids) that have been associated with contamination and potential toxicity or ecotoxicity.

Yes. As a general rule dosage should be adjusted for the reduced body weight of children and infants. Dosage of one teaspoon for every 70 pounds of body weight is generally appropriate.

No. By some definitions silver is considered a heavy metal, but it is also a noble metal. The noble metals are gold, silver, and the platinum group of six metals which includes platinum, rhodium, palladium, ruthenium, osmium, and iridium. When used as dietary supplements the noble metals do not cause heavy metal poisoning. No. The metallic particles contained in Mesosilver and Mesogold are in the form of nanometer sized particles. These particles do not accumulate in body tissues or any organs.

Yes. MesoSilver and MesoGold do not interfere with or interact with medications. Both gold and silver are noble metals, which means they do not readily combine with other substances to form compounds, so they do not interact with medications, herbs, or other supplements.

Mesosilver will turn clear as water if it is frozen solid or contaminated in use. To prevent contamination:

Yes, however, I wouldn't advise ingestion. It can be dangerous to ingest just as your normal shampoo is, or toothpaste, or 100 gallons of soda pop. But overall it is pretty safe except for the severe diarrhea accompanied by ingestion.

A.- Aspirin tablets are 20 times more toxic than the equivalent amount of Laetrile. Laetrile is even less toxic than sugar. But like aspirin or sugar, you can't take 20 tablets or eat 1/2 lb. at one time. It would make you quite sick, probably requiring a stomach pump.

The TSCA (15 U.S.C. s/s 2601 et seq.), enacted by Congress in 1976, gives the Environmental Protection Agency the ability to track industrial chemicals currently produced or imported into the United States. The EPA screens these chemicals and can require reporting, testing or banning of those that may pose an environmental or human-health hazard.

A substance is toxic if sufficient exposure can cause death. For example, 1000 parts per million (ppm) CO concentration will cause unconsciousness after 1 hour.

No, the lithium battery does not require special handling or disposal, but we request that you return old units to us for recycling. Contact Us to return old KOMeter? units.

Kombucha Tea can become toxic if it becomes contaminated by pathogenic moulds or bacteria, such as C. botulism. However, these organisms will not grow in an acidic medium below pH 4.

There are many plants and foods that are toxic to dogs when ingested. You should always pay attention to what your dog is eating. Your dogs reaction to ingesting poisonous and toxic items will vary according to your dog’s sensitivities, amount ingested, and the specific item ingested.

The Toxic Craving Cycle is my term for the way that toxic and addictive substances reinforce each other and create a vicious cycle of sickness and addiction. The Toxic Craving Cycle is all around us and helps to explain the prevalence of sickness, addiction, conflict, and violence.

There are some house plants more toxic than others. We believe that the best way to know is to maintain the name of the plant that you purchased attached on the outside of the vase. Please check this list before you bring your kitty to the hospital www.ansci.cornell.edu/plants/ .

There are at least 200 plants/trees or shrubs that are toxic to horses at some level if they are ingested. Depending on the plant species, only a small amount need be ingested to prove fatal. With other plants or grasses, a larger quantity would need to be eaten over a longer period of time before toxic levels would be reached.
