During a heavy metal detox with Modifilan you may experience some temporary discomfort. This is due to the heavy metals releasing from the cells and moving around in the body. This is usually mild and unusual. Those most suseptible are those who are the most sick especially with environmental allergies and sensitivities. The more toxic material in your body the more likely you are to experience some discomfort as it comes out. This usually begins around the third week after you've finished cleaning the toxins out of the gut. Then the metals start to be pulled out of the tissues. Remember the metals need to come out because they are a poison. Any side effects from using Modifilan are much gentler than using chemical medications such as EDTA, DMPS, DMSA or Penicillamide. Modifilan is just as effective and less expensive but takes longer. Symptoms may include brief episodes, about 2 hours, of "spaciness", or mild flu like feelings. Be sure to drink plenty of good clean water, about 1/2 your weight in ounces, up to but not more than 80 oz.'s a day. Please enquire by email if you have questions or need other detoxification procedures to help get you through the symptomatic period.

Alginates bind and remove toxic heavy metals from your body. Iodine stimulates thyroid hormone production and speeds up metabolism. The nutrient minerals in Modifilan and U-Fn, Fucoidan displace toxic metals from cellular binding sites.
