AIM HumiKleanse™ details

As with many great discoveries, the AIM HumiKleanse™ story started with a simple observation: livestock grazing on peat moss near Lake Balaton, Hungary, grew stronger and healthier than other cattle. Years of clinical research showed that this peat deposit contained humic and fulvic acids, which help to maintain the body’s natural ion balance and remove toxic heavy metals, such as cadmium, lead, and mercury. An extract from this unique peat moss, known as Humifulvate®, is the key ingredient in AIM HumiKleanse™.

The hazards of heavy metals

In the right concentrations, many metals are essential to life.

In excess, though, they can be poisonous. Even chronic, low exposures can have serious health effects. Because heavy metals cannot be degraded or destroyed, they are not broken down, so they accumulate in the human body—concentrating in the liver, kidneys, brain, skeleton, and keratinized tissue, such as hair and nails. Exposure to heavy metals has been linked to developmental disability, various cancers, kidney damage, and even death in some instances.

How am I exposed to heavy metals?

Heavy metals are everywhere—they are found in nature and are concentrated in some man-made products. For instance, forest fires and volcanoes can emit heavy metals into the atmosphere.

The largest man-made sources include the combustion of fossil fuels, industrial processes, and auto use. Heavy metals can enter our bodies via food (fish, meat, and produce) and drinking water, and children can be exposed to lead through ingesting paint chips.
Environment Canada lists lead, mercury, and cadmium as three heavy metals linked to adverse effects on human health.

Lead

Banned in Canada since 1990, leaded gasoline is responsible for the proliferation of lead across the planet, even into Greenland’s ice. Over ninety percent of houses built before 1975 still have lead paint. Lead also exists in everything from plumbing to calcium supplements, hair dye, mini-blinds, and leaded crystal. Urban areas with high levels of traffic or trash incinerators, as well as areas containing battery plants or industrial facilities that burn fuel may still have high lead levels in the air.

Recent research indicates that virtually everyone over the age of forty-five has significant quantities of lead accumulated in their bones. It takes at least twenty-five years to purge only half the amount of this accumulated lead. As the baby-boomer generation ages, the lasting presence of lead seems to accelerate and worsen age-related health problems such as osteoporosis, diabetes, dementia, and high blood pressure. The crucial effect of lead exposure on adults is hypertension, most noticeably in the blood pressure of men over forty.

Lead continues to be a health risk for Canadian children in spite of over a thirty-year crackdown on its use. Affecting the brain and nervous system, the lead found in crayons, paint, contaminated drinking water and soil has resulted in one in five children having worrisome lead levels in their blood.

Mercury

The steady release of mercury into the environment has resulted in current levels that are three to six times higher than the estimated levels in the atmosphere of the pre-industrial era.

We are exposed to mercury by eating fish that have absorbed it into their tissues from the water in streams, lakes and, oceans.
Mushrooms can accumulate high levels if grown in contaminated soils. Some dental amalgam fillings contain mercury. Vaccines may also contain mercury. Metallic mercury is also used in a variety of household products and industrial items, including thermostats, fluorescent light bulbs, barometers, and glass thermometers.

Mercury attacks the nervous system and affects the most sensitive target for mercury damage—the brain. Mercury is particularly dangerous for young children as it interferes with their motor and cognitive skills.

Cadmium

Cadmium is a naturally-occurring metal in food, water, and cigarette smoke. Smoking doubles the average daily intake of cadmium. Mushrooms in particular can be very rich in cadmium. It is also found in coal, fertilizers, metal coatings, plastics and batteries.
Cadmium is toxic to most forms of life. Cadmium toxicity is manifested in a variety of syndromes, including hypertension, and kidney, liver, and lung damage.

Cadmium was first listed in the 2000 U.S. Report on Carcinogens as a “known human carcinogen.” New evidence suggests it causes mutations by inhibiting the ability of cells to repair routine errors made when DNA is copied to make new cells.

How do I get rid of the heavy metals in my body?

The best way to avoid the threat of heavy metals is to avoid exposure in the first place, but obviously this is not always possible.
You can stop smoking, live away from industrial areas, and maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle, but lead, mercury, and cadmium are still prevalent throughout our environment. However, there is a way to remove harmful levels of heavy metals from the body—it is called chelation.

A substance is chelated when it is grabbed, trapped, and transformed by a chelating agent. The chelating properties of humic acids have been used for a long time in the purification of wastewater. In effect, the unique formulation of humic and fulvic acids in Humifulvate® acts like a magnet for the large atoms of heavy metals, capturing them so they can be flushed out of the body through normal processes of elimination.

HumiKleanse™:

A pure, plant-derived source of humic and fulvic acids

The physical and chemical properties, water conditions, vegetation, and microbial fauna of a given soil determine the quality and quantity of the humic substances in peat. Humifulvate® comes from 3,000- to 10,000-year-old peat moss and is in a natural conservation area free from industry or agriculture.

Medicinal Ingredients:

(per vegetarian capsule) Humifulvate® 75 mg
A natural ingredient composed of humic, fulvic and phenolic acids.

Recommended Use:

Helps to remove heavy metals from the body.

Recommended Dose:

Adults: Take one capsule per day with food.

Use for a minimum of five consecutive weeks. Do not exceed the recommended amount.

Risk Information:

Not recommended for children, pregnant or lactating women. If you have kidney disease or take any prescription drugs, please consult with your health practitioner prior to taking this product.

*Drink 10 or more glasses of pure water daily to effectively eliminate toxins.

Q&A

Who should use HumiKleanse™?

Everyone who has been or is likely to be exposed to heavy metals, or who is in danger of exposure should use HumiKleanse™.
Employees in industrial areas known to use heavy metals or people living near industrial plants or in large cities may benefit as well.

How should HumiKleanse™ be taken?

HumiKleanse™ is best taken with meals or AIM products like CalciAIM™ or AIM Peak Endurance™ that contain minerals. The Humifulvate® contained in the product assists in the increased uptake and retention of trace elements such as iron, potassium, calcium, and magnesium found in the foods we consume.

How do I know if HumiKleanse™ is working? Will I experience any side effects or detoxification?

It may have taken years of exposure for heavy metals to accumulate in the body, and it may take some time for detoxification to occur. During the cleansing period, some people may experience symptoms of detoxification, such as headache or rash. This is not unusual. For further information about detoxification, please see our Detoxification data sheet. There are a number of commercially available kits to measure heavy metal content in saliva and urine. We recommend a minimum of one month between the use of HumiKleanse and performing a test because levels will be elevated during the process of elimination.

Can I take HumiKleanse™ with AIM BarleyLife®, AIM Herbal Fiberblend® or AIM FibreBalance®?

BarleyLife® is best taken on an empty stomach, and HumiKleanse™ is best taken with meals. We do not recommend taking the two together. Herbal FiberBlend and FibreBalance have an effect complimentary to the heavy metal detoxifying effect of HumiKleanse™, and so they may be taken together.

Can I take HumiKleanse™ with prescription drugs?

If you are on prescription drugs, you should consult your health practitioner before taking this product.
