Free Radical Test kit - Osumex
Essential to a healthy body
Free radicals are utilized by the body to destroy and stop invading harmful bacteria and viruses. If the free radicals are properly controlled they are very important for a healthy body.
Excessive free radicals cause degenrative diseases
Studies and researches have concluded that free radicals cause degenrative diseases such as cancers, tumours, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, arthritis and others. Free radicals deplete the immune of the body.
Excessive free radicals accelerates aging
Free radicals reacts with the body's cells causing damage to the DNA and hinders cell reproduction. It stops the body from renewing itself and dying cells are not replaced quickly enough. The consequence is rapid aging. This is clearly seen in the skin where excessive free radical activity causes tangible evidence of skin aging. A lot of cancers are also caused by free radicals due to DNA mutation.
Main causes of free radicals
Free radicals are created when the cells produce energy. Other major causes of free radicals are heavy metals, stress, smoking, excessive alcohol, air pollution, etc. We need to be careful with what we consume, drink and breathe to avoid increasing free radical activities in our body.
Heavy metals especially inorganic heavy metals are becoming an increasingly common source of free radicals in the body. It is important therefore that checking for heavy metals in the body is one of the steps taken to control free radical activity in the body.
Control free radical activity
An effective way to control free radical activity in the body is to consume sufficient antioxidants. Most of these antioxidants are found in our food such as fresh fruits and vegetables. Supplementation is sometimes essential and helps boost the immune of the body.
Measure free radical activity
It is a good practice to measure free radical activity in the body on a regular basis. If excessive free radical activity is detected it is it is essential to check once a month until the activity is brought under control. After that check once every few months. |

Heavy Metals Test - General Kit - Osumex
Heavy Metals tested includes:
CADMIUM, COBALT, COPPER, LEAD, MANGANESE, MERCURY, NICKEL, ZINC
The Heavy Metals Test - General (HMTG) kit was developed for Osumex as a simple to use at home test kit for a preliminary determination of the presence of an identified range of heavy metals.
These heavy metals (IDH Metals) comprises:
cadmium, cobalt, copper, lead, manganese, mercury, nickel, zinc
The HMTG kit utilises chemical reagents to show the presence of the IDH Metals indicated above. The free metal ions of the IDH Metals, if present, stimulate a colour change to the reagents. Accordingly, the more metal ions are present, the stronger the resultant colour change.
The chemicals used in the reagents are bio-degradable and do not further contaminate the environment, especially if disposed off properly after use. The reagents contain oils which pose no health risk to the user if contact is made. Howevever, where contact is made to the eyes or inside the mouth the user is encouraged to consult his or her physician as soon as possible. It is recommended that the used solutions be flushed down the toilet as a good disposal guide.
The HMTG kit is suitable for testing any liquid medium such as saliva, urine, breast milk, tap water, etc., provided that the liquid is fairly clear preferably without suspended solids or sediments. Straining the liquid to be tested would be a good idea to achieve a clear colour change and for an easier reading. Solids such as food, supplements, raw fish, etc. can be tested after it has been soaked in distilled water for 24 hours or treated. For example, to test raw fish, place it in a microwave and heat for about 20 seconds to extract juices from it. The juice from the fish can be tested for the presence of heavy metals ions.
The result of the test comes in the form of a band or ring just below the surface of the combined solutions - see diagram below:
Very often where there is more than one metal present, "masking" of the result occurs. A grey colour may result if the several metals present are of the same concentrations. Otherwise a mixed colour or a colour change that is hard to identify may emerge.
legend: Cu - Copper Zn - Zinc Cd - Cadmium Pb - Lead Hg - Mercury
A gray ring indicates that there are a combination of several heavy metals present
A bluish purple to brown ring suggests the presence of copper and possibly cobalt
A beige ring suggests the presence of cadmium
An orange ring indicates the presence of mercury and this is usually seen only where no masking by other metals can occur such as in saliva and often breast milk.
A pink to red ring indicates the presence of lead and zinc
If there are no heavy metals present, the ring or band just below the surface of the test solution remains green like the image on the left
The HMTG kit is therefore an inexpensive preliminary determination of the IDH Metals in general so that steps may be taken for elimination from the body or object tested to prevent further contamination. |

Osumex HMT kit - Specific - Osumex
aluminium, arsenic, cadmium, chlorine, chrome, cobalt, copper, iron, lead, manganese, MERCURY, molybdenum, silver, tin
Osumex's Heavy Metals Test kits test the presence of heavy metals ions to a high degree of accuracy (in parts per billion {ppb} and million {ppm} in the body and of a wide range of materials in the environment
The Heavy Metals test kits are designed especially to detect the presence of toxic heavy metals in the body using urine or saliva. They can also be used to detect heavy metals in most clear liquid medium. It is important to check the presence of heavy metals because they are the main cause of excessive free radical activity, which can cause damage to the healthy state of the body including depleting the body's immune system.
The Heavy Metals Test kits can also be used to confirm the presence of metals/minerals in food such as iron in rice, etc.
Toxic heavy metals can cause the following health problems:
long term exposure to cadmium is associated with renal dysfunction. Cadmium is biopersistent and once absorbed remains resident for many years. High exposure can lead to obstructive lung diseases and has been linked to lung cancer. Cadmium may also cause bone defects in humans and animals. The average daily intake for humans is estimated as 0.15µg from air and 1µg from water;
low exposure to chromium can irritage the skin and cause ulceration. Long term exposure can cause kidney and liver damage. It can also cause damage to circulatory and nerve tissues;
high doses of copper can cause anemia, liver and kidney damage, and stomach and intestinal irritation. People with Wilson's disease are at greater risk for health effects from overexposure to copper;
exposure to lead can lead to a wide range of biological defects in human depending on duration and level of exposure. The developing feotus and infants are far more sensitive than adults. High exposure can cause problems in the synthesis of haemoglobins, damage to the kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, joints, reproductive system and the nervous system. Studies have suggested that exposure to lead can cause up to a loss of 2 IQ points;
inorganic mercury poisoning is associated with tremours, gingivitis and/or minor pyschological changes together with spontaneous abortion and congenital malformation. Monomethylmercury causes damage to the brain and the central nervous system while fetal and post-natal exposure have given rise to abortion, congenital malformation and development changes in young children;
excessive amounts of nickel can be mildly toxic. Long term exposure can cause decreased body weight, heart and liver damage andskin irritation;
exposure to high levels of arsenic can cause death. All types of arsenic exposure can cause kidney and liver damage and in the most severe exposure there is erythrocyte hemolysis;
manganese is known to block calcium channels and with chronic exposure results in CNS dopamine depletion. This duplicates almost all of the symptomology of Parkinson's Disease.
aluminium toxicity is associated with the development of bone disorders including fractures, osteopenia and osteomalacia
The more commonly encountered toxic heavy metals are Arsenic, Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Iron, Aluminium
Heavy metal toxicity represents an uncommon, yet clinically significant, medical condition. If unrecognized or inappropriately treated, heavy metal toxicity can result in significant morbidity and mortality. The most common heavy metals implicated in acute and/or chronic conditions include lead, arsenic, and mercury.
The Osumex Heavy Metals Test kits can detect heavy metals contamination especially inorganic heavy metals to ppb or ppm. It is an easy to use at home kit and gives result in minutes that is easy to read. The level of heavy metals present is measured by comparing to a colour chart.
The Heavy Metals Test kits come in two options:
a General kit to test the presence of a range of heavy metals such as COPPER, ZINC, CADMIUM, MERCURY, LEAD, NICKEL, MANGANESE, COBALT;
a Specific kit to test the presence of a range of heavy metals individually such as ALUMINIUM, ARSENIC, CADMIUM, CHROMIUM, COBALT, CHLORINE, COPPER, IRON, LEAD, MERCURY, MANGANESE, MOLYBDENUM, SILVER, TIN

10-P Test 5 pack - Osumex
This is a non-invasive analysis to detect and or measure the presence of bilirubin, blood, glucose, ketone (acetoacetic acid), leukocyte, nitrite, pH, protein, specific gravity and urobilinogen in urine.
It is a very useful test as an early warning sign for health problems in the body such as the kidneys, liver, gall bladder, etc. It is also a very good early warning sign for detecting diabetes mellitus or type-2 diabetes from the presence of glucose in urine. Glucose found in urine at high levels is sufficient to suggest uncontrolled diabetes occuring and must be followed up with a qualified health care professional. It suggests onset of type-2 diabetes in the user.
This test therefore tells the user in much the same way as silent inflammation. If steps are taken to counter or treat positive results found at an early stages it could prevent health problems from developing. This could prevent onset adult diabetes, kidney or liver failure, bladder infection and other harmful diseases within the body. It is a very good preventative test.
Each Osumex 10-P Test kit consists of a test-tube, a strip contained in a pouch, colour chart to check results of the test and an insert on usage and information. Please see images below. |

pH Indicators - 10 sticks - Osumex
It is important to know that true health lives in an alkaline state.
What is pH?
pH (potential of Hydorgen) is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. It is measured on a scale of 0-14. The lower the pH the more acidic the solution and the higher the more alkaline (or base). When a solution is neither acidic nor alkaline, it has a pH 7 which is neutral
Body pH
Water is the most abundant compound in the human body comprising of 70% of the body. The body has an acid-alkaline (or acid-base) ratio called the pH which a balance between positively charged ions (acid-forming) and negatively charged ions (alkaline-forming). The body continually strives to maintain a balanced pH. When the balance is compromised health issues arise.
It is also important to understand that we are not talking about stomach acid or the pH of the stomach which is always acidic since it uses acid for proper digestion. Food in the stomach is acidic while food in the intestines is alkaline. We are talking about the pH of the body's fluids and tissues which are entirely different matters. The human body has adapted to two types of digestion:
alkaline for starches
acid for proteins
pH Balance for Good Health
The body is able to assimilate minerals and nutrients properly only when its pH is balanced. It is therefore possible for a person to be consuming nutrients and yet unable to absorb or use them. If you are not achieving expected results from a nutritional (including herbal) program, it is possible that there is acid alkaline imbalance. No nutritional program would work if the body's pH is out of balance amongst other issues. This acid alkaline state might in turn affect the microbiota (friendly bacteria) of the digestive system.
It is recommended that you test at least once a week, if your pH is 6.0 or lower, until it is brought back up to at least 6.5. Thereafter, you should check once a month to make sure your pH is alkaline |
