The Biggest Fraud On The Market

Nutralife Laboratories

Nutralife Laboratories of Anaheim, California, sent out many thousands of an eight page brochure full of false information and promoting a fraudulent so-called "oral chelation" formula.  This brochure included an entire page of so-called scientific studies alleged to support the claims that the Nutralife formula, based on EDTA, would qualify as an "oral chelation" formula.  It might be OK, but they have 75 mg of EDTA in their formula compared to 500 mg in Life Glow Plus.  There product is extraordinarily expensive for what you get -- a rip-off.

Listed below are the very few studies that could be found, amongst the 39 separate listings.  the remainder could not be found and if they exist at all, are privately printed and not subject to any of the safeguards for integrity relative to the accepted scientific journals which are indexed in the Medlines database.

Abstract

Different extracts of fresh vegetative and reproductive organs from Crataegus monogyna harvested during a whole season and from some pharmaceutical hawthorn preparations exhibit in vitro antioxidant activities using three different models of oxygen reactive species generation (superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide and hypochlorous acid). All the tested samples show low IC50 values, the most efficient being fresh young leaves, fresh floral buds and pharmaceutical dried flowers. The activities seem to be especially bound to the total phenolic proanthocyanidin and flavonoid contents.

Abstract

Interesting antioxidant activities of extracts from different vegetative and reproductive organs of Crataegus monogyna harvested at different stages of growth have been determined by the malondialdehyde-thiobarbituric acid (MDA) test on hepatic microsomal preparations and compared to the contents in total phenolics, proanthocyanidins, catechins, flavonoids, and phenolic acids. The best correlations were established with total phenols while activities in leaves seem to be influenced by flavonoids and in flowers and fruits by proanthocyanidins and catechins.

Title

[A review of the literature on the concentration of arsenic, lead, cadmium and mercury in body fluids and tissues for the localization of normal values and the detection of body burden. 2. Cadmium]

Abstract

The 2nd of 4 communications on metal concentrations in human body media deals with cadmium. Publications obtained from a comprehensive data bank search from January 1980 to April 1984 are listed in tables; study groups have been assigned to the following categories: normal; exposed; and exposed, exhibiting adverse health effects. Quality and strength of evidence of analytical procedures and reported data are discussed, particularly in light of adverse health effects. General methods and individual analytical procedures were presented in the 1st communication, a summary of mean exposure levels, critically elevated levels, and references will be published in the 4th communication.

Abstract

The present review covers 208 papers dealing with determination of the metals arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury in human biologic material. A comprehensive data bank survey of the literature from January 1980 to April 1984 was conducted and supplemented by review of some earlier publications. As shown by comparison of the results from a number of papers, the various state-of-the-art methods for determining metal content in biologic materials (e.g., atomic absorption spectrophotometry, neutron activation analysis, and x-ray fluorescent analysis) appear to be equally sensitive and reliable. These detection methods are suited to determination of the above metals in the following media: arsenic in urine, hair; cadmium in blood, urine, hair, renal cortex; lead in blood, hair; mercury in blood, urine, hair. To permit better comparison of the results presented in various publications, agreement must be reached on use of uniform concentration units and participation in quality control programs. Safe levels of chronic biological exposure overlap with concentrations which cause health effects or measurable impairment of body function over a wide range. Individual sensitivity to biological exposure varies. In a number of studies, metal concentrations are measured in symptom-free persons which cause symptoms in persons examined in other studies. Due to differences in the sensitivity of detection of symptoms, the range of minimum levels of biological exposure considered to be associated with deleterious health effects (levels of critical exposure) is unacceptably broad. Minimum levels of critical exposure should protect against development of early symptoms of toxicity. If the lowest published critical levels of biological exposure are taken as a cutoff, then a sizable portion of the persons currently revealing metal exposure in any of the reported media exceeds such levels. Symptoms of detrimental effects should be detectable in such persons and should be investigated. In establishing and evaluating current minimum levels of critical chronic metal exposure, there is a general need for a quantitative increase in determinations and for a qualitative increase in the sensitivity of detection of symptoms and other health effects--in order to avoid dependence on reports of acute toxicity. When detected levels of a given metal are in a range held to be normal, exclusion of toxic effects and poisoning requires additional consideration of clinical findings.
