How we test foods for heavy metals at the Natural News Labs
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Hi, welcome to the online tour of how things work at the Natural News Forensic Food Labs.
My name is Mike Adams.
I'm the lab director.
There's my mug shot right there.
And hopefully you're familiar with his website, labs.naturalnews.com.
This features amazing free information about the heavy metals composition, MRF, metals retention factor, and metals capturing capacity.
of all kinds of products that we've tested.
Check out this Flax Plus Multibrand Flakes cereal.
Here you can see the heavy metals results for aluminum, copper, arsenic, cadmium, and so on.
And the metals retention factor, that's a concept that I developed.
And the metals capturing capacity, that's also something that I developed.
And have shared with the world through this lab's website.
But today I'm going to show you how things work here at the lab.
Now this is some of the instrumentation that I use.
It's an ICP-MS system there on the right hand side.
I'm going to explain how we actually make things work.
How do we turn food into data?
Like this.
Well here's how it works.
First, we start with an analytical scale, such as this one, except ours has another significant digit of measurement detection limits and accuracy.
So we can go to.0001 grams, and we take food samples and put it into here, and we get an exact weight of the food sample that we're going to be testing.
And we run each food multiple times.
So we'll typically prepare 5 vials for each food sample with anywhere from 0.2 to 1 gram of sample, depending on which test we're running for it.
Then we digest them in nitric acid.
We use a trace grade nitric acid.
This is a highly corrosive, highly reactive acid.
We have a chemical fume hood and other equipment that we use for this purpose.
Then we digest the samples either in a closed cell digestion system, such as this microwave system.
Each one of these vials here is actually, or columns, is actually a digestion cell, with a food sample in it probably, or maybe they're doing soils or something else, or petroleum, who knows.
But we use it for food.
We also use open cell digestion, which is this.
This is actually a picture from my lab.
There's the hot block digestion system.
These are the 50 ml vials that we're using with watch glasses on top to make sure we don't lose metals and we have good metals recovery from our samples.
These are the pipettes that I use for very precise volumetric movement of liquids to create external standards, to normalize vials before going into the autosampler, to move digestive samples into autosampler tubes, and many other purposes.
Now these are single element standards that are used to create the external standards that we use.
I use all NIST traceable external standards for extreme accuracy and calibration of the machine.
And they come in vials like this, or bottles.
And you can see aluminum, selenium, mercury, and so on.
Check this out.
The 10 micrograms per milliliter for mercury, that means 10 parts per million.
And you can probably read this.
This is a 5% HNO3 solution, 5% nitric acid.
Mercury requires typically a little higher concentration acid matrix to hold the mercury in solution, whereas selenium, as you can see here, has only got a 2% HNO3, even though it's got a 1,000 part per million concentration.
That's 100 times higher than the mercury standard here, and yet a lower concentration of acid.
So each element has a little different behavior.
And these are some of the things that you get to learn when you work in a lab, like I'm working.
By the way, speaking of the lab, I want to show you this.
Here's a web elements periodic table.
This is really what we're dealing with when we talk about the lab.
Heavy metals analysis, metals retention factor, metals capturing capacity, all of these concepts.
This is how you know what's in your food.
As an analytical chemist now, a food scientist, an atomic spectroscopy operator, I've had to learn a lot about the table of elements.
Well, I actually enjoy learning about it, so it's not a burden or anything, but you really need to know your stuff when you're dealing with this.
So, let me point out a couple of things that are really interesting.
Over here are the halogens column, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and so on.
These are all very highly reactive, and they all have similar properties.
Properties, similar metabolism, and you'll find that true because they're among elements that are in the same column.
They will share different kinds of traits.
For example, over here you have cesium.
You may be aware that cesium-137 is the radioactive isotope of cesium, which normally has an atomic mass of around 133.
This is potassium.
Now, cesium tends to mimic potassium in the body, which is one reason why radioactive cesium is so dangerous and deadly in the aftermath of a nuclear catastrophe like Fukushima, or a nuclear war, nuclear bombing, like Hiroshima in World War II. It's because they're in the same column.
They share that.
You've got, check this out, strontium.
You can have radioactive strontium.
Strontium-90 is typically one of the radioactive isotopes that you would find that will tend to mimic calcium.
Very interesting, because they're in the same column.
Check this out, now over here.
Zinc, a very important nutritional element for immune function.
But then you have cadmium, a toxic heavy metal, just above zinc.
Well, high zinc intake will help block cadmium in your foods.
Isn't that cool?
And then mercury is even more toxic, a very deadly neurotoxin found in vaccines, found in mercury fillings used by dentists, found in some foods and things like that.
Well, if you take more zinc, you can actually block cadmium and mercury to some extent.
And mercury is more toxic than cadmium, and cadmium is more toxic than zinc because zinc really has very low toxicity.
In fact, it's a nutrient most of the time.
You'd have to take a lot of it to get it to a toxic level.
Well, there are many, many interesting things about the table of elements here.
Now, we're going to be looking at lead here.
This is one of the things that we don't want in our food.
We don't want mercury here.
We don't want copper, because copper is related to schizophrenia, mental disorders, insanity, things like that.
You take too much copper, You go crazy.
So that's not a good thing.
We don't want that.
Aluminum is also another element that has toxicity.
It's been linked to Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and various neurological disorders.
This one, arsenic here, this one's linked to cancer.
This is a heavy metal.
And tungsten here, W, is called tungsten.
It's another heavy metal that I have found in some foods.
It's very, very interesting.
So anyway, the table of elements here has a lot to do with what I'm doing.
Now let's get back to the single element standards.
We take those elements, we dissolve them into acids, and then we make our external standards.
Then we load them up into things like this auto-sampler here.
And yes, that's me in the picture.
I decided to...
To become Chinese.
No, this is just a photo off the internet.
I don't know what lab this is, but this is very similar to my lab, so I want to explain some of what's going on here very quickly.
This is an autosampler vial tray.
Looks like he's got seven samples in line there.
This is an autosampler that actually pulls up the liquified samples.
Well, let me go back.
Remember when we did the digestion and everything?
We turned solid foods into liquids, and then we put the liquids into this autosampler.
Then this robotic system here, this auto-sampler, uses basically an automated pipette system with an attached tubing, very small diameter tubing.
It could be like 0.26 millimeters diameter or 0.5 or something like that.
To take that sample and transport it through this tubing and over into this machine.
It actually goes into this point right here, which is the peristaltic pump.
The peristaltic pump mixes the liquid from the samples with internal standard liquids, which is what this bottle is right here.
That's an internal standard.
It mixes that right here in this little thing.
You can't really see it very well in this picture, but it mixes it there.
And then it pushes it into the nebulizer.
The job of the nebulizer is to take this liquid And turn it into a very fine mist that's propelled at extremely high speed, I think faster than the speed of sound, in fact, into the spray chamber.
This is the spray chamber, and then we'll talk more about what happens after that.
But these tubes here are argon supplies to accelerate the nebulizer, the movement of the spray, the mist, through the micro-mist nebulizer, in this case.
Into the spray chamber.
That's very important because we have to, in essence, atomize the liquid in order to send it into the plasma that then turns it into an ionized plasma that goes into the mass-to-charge discrimination measurement system, which I'll talk about in a minute.
Now, but let me zoom out and show you.
These are argon tanks over here.
Oh wow, it looks like we've got a big argon tank in the background there.
This is a chiller down here to keep the instrument cool, and this is a ventilation fan to vent out the argon.
Now, this instrument right here uses approximately 16 liters per minute of argon.
And it's probably got a reaction gas somewhere that we can't see in this picture.
I would guess he does because I can see there's multiple gas filters right there, gas cleaning elements there.
He's got looks like two or three of them.
He's probably using a reaction gas or a collision gas such as helium, which is what I use.
So this is very similar to my laboratory setup.
Now let me show you something else here.
This is actually my instrument.
I'm showing you the sample cone and the skimmer cone.
If you look back in there, you see a coil.
That coil uses a very high power RF field to create a plasma.
Actually, this slides over in front of these cones.
Then the plasma goes into the cones, which skim off most of the sample, leaving a very small stream of highly ionized plasma that goes into The vacuum chamber inside the instrument into the collision reaction cell and into the mass-to-charge ratio discrimination system.
In other words, the mass analyzer and then the detector.
And I'll talk about that in a minute.
I have to clean these cones frequently because I'm always blasting them with high concentration acids and foods and seaweeds.
The seaweeds accumulate all kinds of salts and things on here.
You put a lot of salt in here, you're going to get issues.
So you've got to clean them.
Now here's another lab that has a setup very similar to my own.
You can see the auto-sampler robot here, the sampling trays, protective enclosure here to keep the dust out.
And then you see the same thing, the peristaltic pump.
They've got some internal standard acids here with some tubing going into the nebulizer, the spray chamber.
With the argon gas tubing connected there, and the excess argon ventilation in the back, the argon gas cleaning systems there, and look at what's written on there, HNO3, 0.7%.
That's a rinse solution, no doubt.
My rinse solutions run about 2% because I'm running a little bit higher acid matrix than what they're doing in this particular lab.
But this lab is really clean.
I kind of like it.
I wish I could keep my lab that clean.
I try, you know, but I got a lot more going on.
So this is not exactly the way I use it, but I did want to show you this micro-miss nebulizer here where you have argon gas, a carrier gas, or a makeup gas, and then you have a liquid that combines with it.
It gets accelerated and thrust through this at very high velocity.
And I've also learned that you can clog this up if you pump digested strawberry fiber through this tube.
So, don't send strawberry jam into your nebulizer.
It doesn't work.
I already tried that.
Now, this is a picture of the plasma actually lit.
You're actually seeing the plasma, hotter than the surface of the sun.
And this is the RF coil right here that lights up the plasma.
This quartz vessel here is the plasma torch, is what it's called.
Let me see if I can zoom this in for you a little bit.
This is not a picture from my instrument.
Mine's a little bit different.
I think it's nicer, actually.
And then this is the sample cone where the plasma is sending very, very highly charged and high-velocity Particles from the food sample that you're sending into this to be analyzed.
Now here's actually a better picture of the way my instrument works.
And the food is coming in over here through this tube into the nebulizer, into the spray chamber as a fine mist.
It's going through this transfer tube into the plasma torch tube, which is this tube right here.
And it's being lit by this coil into an actual plasma, which is then pushed right into this cone.
Now, in this photo, the x-axis of this plasma torch is Higher than it would be in a normal analyzed mode.
Normally this plasma would be closer to the cone where it's actually touching it.
But I guess this illustration or photo or whatever it is is kind of showing just for demonstration purposes.
It doesn't really run like that.
Okay, now, this is the cool part.
This is what gets me all geeked up.
Right here, we've got the innards of how this thing works.
This is really cool.
If you're a scientist, you'll really appreciate this.
This whole system is called ICP-MS, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.
And the carrier gas goes in the spray chamber and nebulizer.
I already talked about that.
After that, the sample, which is a very high velocity stream of tiny mist, goes into the torch, which then goes into the plasma, and the plasma then ionizes it very heavily, or very strongly, I should say.
Most of the plasma is then skimmed off by the so-called interface here, the sample cones and the skimmer cones.
And there are some other lenses inside, these ion lenses, that have to be tuned and really calibrated to get exactly the right level of sensitivity versus detection limits.
And then, that stream of ions is really flying through here at very high speed, like multiples of the speed of sound at this point.
And it's going into this chamber right here, which is not labeled on this diagram, but this is actually a collision reaction chamber, a collision reaction cell.
Now, to understand why this is really important, we've got to go back to the table of elements.
So, we bring the table of elements up here.
Sorry for this crash course in ICP-MS science, but hey, I did have a lot of people asking, like, what are you doing?
How does this work?
So, this is it.
This is how it works.
So, check this out.
We have, everything here has a different atomic mass unit, or AMU. And that's typically, that's shown in this number right here.
Like, right, boron.
We have atomic mass of 10.81.
Now, it doesn't mean that every element, or every atom of boron is actually 10.81.
What it means is that, I mean, across the board, let's take something like tungsten here.
Let me give you this example better.
You think, oh, it has an atomic mass of 183.84.
Well, not exactly.
There are actually multiple isotopes of tungsten.
Many isotopes.
I think there are seven different isotopes that are naturally occurring of tungsten.
Now, the proportions of those isotopes as they occur in nature...
Multiplied by their weights, which might be anywhere from 181, 182, 183, 184, up to 187, I believe, is the highest tungsten isotope.
The proportions times their atomic weights, proportionally stated, comes to 183.84.
That's where that number comes from.
But it doesn't mean all tungsten is exactly 183.84.
In fact, it isn't.
Now some elements like aluminum really don't have naturally occurring isotopes, so it will typically just be a 26.982 or 27 as we say in the lab.
But what does that have to do with this right here?
Well here's the thing.
When you start throwing things into a plasma and pushing them through this at very high speed, You get what's called polyatomic interferences, which is when multiple atoms will bind together through normal chemical processes such as oxidation.
So you're getting oxygen coming through here because oxygen is present in the air in your lab.
So as you're pulling air through here and pulling the plasma through here, you're also pulling oxygen through here.
Well oxygen is going to oxidize lots of different elements.
Have you ever heard of magnesium oxide?
Well, sure!
Or how about this one?
How about iron oxide?
Yeah, that's called rust!
So, for every element in here, there's an oxide form of zinc oxide.
Well, what's the atomic mass of zinc?
Well, 65.
So, what's the atomic mass of oxygen?
16.
So, an oxide will add a mass of 16 to any other element.
Now, for example, you take argon, which is really our cooling gas, being pushed through the system at about 16 liters a minute.
It has an atomic mass of 40, or 39.948.
We just say 40.
Well, if you have an argon oxide, you're going to have 40 plus 16.
In other words, you're going to have 56.
56, exactly.
Now, you might think, well, what is this 56?
If you don't know about the oxides, you might say, well, maybe this 56 is iron.
You might think, well, you have iron in the machine, but no, you actually have an argon oxide.
So, in order to get that out of the way and reduce the noise level and thereby increase detection limits, these machines are now equipped with octopole reaction systems, or octopole reaction cells.
and this one on my machine is actually using a collision gas helium at a flow rate of about 3.5 milliliters per minute which is very very low flow rate compared to the 16 liters full liters not milliliters but 16 liters a minute of the argon going through here this just uses 3.5 milliliters of helium Now what that does is it knocks out the polyatomic interferences, or at least most of them, leaving a clean signal that then goes through the quadrupole.
Now this is a really cool part right here.
Let me talk about the quadrupole.
I think that's the only photo I have of the quadrupole.
You don't see it much because it's in the vacuum chamber, so you don't really get in there.
But the quadrupole is really a very precise microprocessor-controlled stepping voltage system with a quadrupole, in other words, four poles that can be charged electrically to hold a different charge.
And when you send a stream of plasma ionized liquids, essentially, I mean, used to be liquids, but now they're plasma.
When you send that stream down through the quadrupole and you step that quadrupole through different electrical charges, what you get is a discrimination of what's going through there based on a mass to charge ratio.
So in effect, the quadrupole is really a mass-to-charge ratio discrimination system.
Kind of like a gate system or what you might call a stepping gate.
Now, the point of this is, you've got this table of elements here, and you'd like to know what's in your food.
You know, how much selenium is in your food?
How much arsenic is in your food?
How much zinc is in your food?
How much lead is in your food?
Well, these all have different mass-to-charge ratios.
So, as you tune this, as you step this through the different electrical Gates, you are allowing different mass-to-charge elements to fly through here at that microsecond.
And you can step through the entire table of elements in less than one second.
You can measure everything.
Well, almost everything.
You can't measure helium and things like that.
But you can measure almost everything that's in your food sample in less than a second.
Pretty interesting, huh?
And then, anyway, that goes over here to the detector, which is a pulse analog detector, or PA system.
It has about nine orders of magnitude of detection sensitivity.
Yeah, I said it, nine.
Nine orders of magnitude.
That's a boatload of magnitude, as my friend once said.
Okay, nine orders of magnitude, that's a big range.
So you can go down to low parts per trillion.
And you can go up to high parts per million if you want with the same sample with the same run.
It's really amazing.
This has a pulse element and then an analog element.
Really digital and analog is probably the best way to describe it.
But it's a pretty amazing detector.
And this then sends the information, boom, over here, to your software.
MassHunter software.
Now, this screenshot is not actually the accurate screenshot for an ICP-MS system, so I apologize.
This looks like, to me, it's actually a screenshot from maybe an HPLC or something.
This is looking at...
The screen looks similar.
My screen would normally have different elements here.
It would list like aluminum, magnesium, arsenic, cadmium, things like that.
And then it would show me the concentration and the relative standard deviations, which is pretty cool info.
And then over here, this is your calibration curve.
And this is very important to understand if you want to understand the quality control of this and how we know that we're getting good data.
You see, right now, it looks like they have, what, eight levels.
So they've got eight points plotted on this line.
These points represent different relative concentrations.
And you can see here, relative concentration on the x-axis.
When you do calibrations, you want your line to look just like this, and you want your dots to be on the line.
If they are not on the line, it means you've got something going screwy with your calibrations, and your results may not be very reliable.
But this is a really nice curve right here.
And the curves that I produce on my machine, they also look really nice, just like this.
Plus or minus 2% normally when I go into a mid-range calibration check.
So we're getting good data, and this is kind of the software that then interprets all of this hardware and what this detector is telling it exists.
Now, what is all this for?
This allows you to produce heavy metals test results like this chart.
This chart we produced at naturalnews.com.
And this is based on the data runs that I actually did in the lab.
And this is looking at different breakfast cereals over here.
You can see everything from Fruit Loops to Uncle Sam to Special K, Whole O's and so on.
And this is looking at the total arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury combined in parts per billion found in all of these cereals.
With crunchy rice being the most at 194.
But the good news is that all these numbers are really quite low.
So I wouldn't have an issue with eating any of these cereals from a heavy metal standpoint.
Although I wouldn't like a lot of these cereals because they contain GMOs or high sugar content or pesticides, artificial colors, things like that.
But remember, we're not testing for all that.
In this lab, we're testing for heavy metals, not pesticides.
So anyway, now, if you go back to our lab now, let's look at results, you can see then, let's look at the squid.
What is this?
Saki-Ika.
Squid.
Say that ten times fast.
The Saki-Ika squid, heavy metals test result, shows, what do we have here?
Really nothing that big of a deal.
Alright, let me find something more interesting.
Check this out.
Wheatgrass.
Wheatgrass has almost 0.4 lead, which to me is more than I would want to eat.
It's also got 12 parts per million copper.
Because remember, these numbers are parts per billion, so you've got to divide them by 1,004 ppm.
Aluminum is at 280 parts per million, which is actually a lot higher than what I would really want to consume, but check this out.
The metals retention factor test, which I developed, I developed a methodology and really invented this whole system, shows that this wheatgrass retains 60.5% of the aluminum that it naturally contains.
So you're not really absorbing all that aluminum.
You're only getting about 40% of that aluminum into your digestive system.
And then the metals capturing capacity shows that this wheatgrass is able to capture high uranium, a lot of mercury, a fair amount of lead, a little bit of cadmium, and so on.
I developed this system too, the metals capturing capacity.
And if you want to click on this, go to our website labs.naturalnews.com and click on this right here.
What's this?
And you can actually see an explanation.
What is the metals capturing capacity?
Along with some photos and things.
Now, let's go back.
Oh, actually, you know what?
I want to show you this.
Check this.
Cacao powder.
This is pretty amazing.
Cacao, look at this.
This is a superfood.
A lot of people eat this who are into superfoods and raw vegan diets and things like that.
Look at that.
It's got 31 parts per million copper, almost one part per million cadmium, and half a part per million lead.
Man.
Unfortunately, all cacao is actually pretty high in these elements, so it's hard to find really clean cacao.
But it's got a really interesting MCC profile here as well.
Now, if you look at juices and things like the Suja carrot orange juice, you'll see that a lot of the numbers are close to zero because it's just juice.
It doesn't have fiber.
It's not an intact carrot, which would actually have higher numbers.
This is just the juice of the carrot.
So juice tends to be pretty clean and have much lower numbers.
Lower MRF, lower MCC. Let me show you something else here that's kind of cool.
Let's go to junk foods.
How about that?
And I want to show you these cereals.
Let's go to Fruit Loops.
Check it out.
Zero all across the board.
A little bit of copper, a little bit of aluminum.
No metals retention factor, right?
And MCC is mostly low, but mercury is high, but it is for everything.
Now why is this?
Why is Froot Loops so clean from a heavy metals perspective?
Remember, I'm not saying this cereal is good for you.
It's a junk cereal.
Corn syrup in it, artificial colors, all kinds of garbage.
I wouldn't eat this.
I wouldn't have my child eat it if I had a child.
But as a heavy metals test, it's pretty clean.
Why?
Because it's so nutrient depleted.
It's a refined processed food where most of the nutrients are taken out.
And you'll find this to be true across most junk foods.
If you look at all of these foods, you're going to find, let's look at total cereal, which I consider a total junk food.
And the levels are really pretty low across the board.
It doesn't really have much in it, and it doesn't perform very well in any significant way.
It's a total joke if you ask me.
Look at this.
Blueberry pomegranate cereal.
This is the one that I exposed.
It doesn't even have blueberries, and it doesn't have pomegranates.
So they totally took it off the market after my video.
In any case, you can look at Doritos if you want.
Check it out.
It's going to be very empty in terms of these numbers because the heavy metals are low.
It does have a little bit of copper, but what's not on this chart is all the MSG that's in this product because we're not testing for MSG. We use ICP-MS, elemental analysis, atomic spectroscopy.
We don't test for compound chemicals such as MSG or pesticides.
In any case, you can explore all this yourself, and I hope this explanation helps you understand how we do what we do at the Natural News Forensic Food Lab.
Oh, you know what?
There's one more thing I want to show you about this that's really funny.
We've had people say, A lot of people ask me, Hey Mike, you're the health ranger.
You've been a food activist, a writer, a journalist, and so on.
How on earth did you learn how to do all this stuff?
What are you doing now?
You're a high-level chemist.
You're running atomic spectroscopy laboratory systems.
How are you doing that?
Well, I actually had one critic out there who attacked me in a post somewhere, like a video comment or something.
And he was saying...
It's impossible for the Health Ranger to do this.
He's just a journalist, and there's no way he could be doing this because it's so complex.
It takes such high intelligence.
You have to be a PhD in chemistry.
You have to be at a university.
It's impossible.
The Health Ranger is faking this.
It's a giant hoax, and he must have stolen the data.
So if you're looking at this data, apparently they believe I stole this data.
Like I broke into the University of Texas lab where they were testing wheatgrass and cacao powder.
Yeah, right.
And I stole their numbers from them.
And then I posted them on this website and I claimed that they were mine.
And then I learned how all this hardware and software works just so that I could fake this presentation.
Imagine that!
So that's a conspiracy theory, if I've ever heard one.
So the conspiracy theory is that the health ranger stole this data and has faked his knowledge.
Of all of this.
And actually, everything I told you was completely invented fiction out of thin air, I guess.
None of it actually makes any sense.
Forget the table of elements.
It doesn't exist.
It's a conspiracy theory.
There is no zinc.
There is no cadmium.
There is no mercury.
So I have to laugh when I hear that because it's really a great compliment.
And to apply this to you, the reason I'm saying that is because I found a secret to unleash your natural genius.
And the secret has a lot to do with all of these metals in certain ratios.
It's almost like a harmonic code of these nutritive elements versus toxic elements.
And I'm going to be releasing a program later on called Natural Genius that explains how to unlock your genius.
Because you have just as sharp a brain as I do if you can...
Unlock it and unleash it and stop the toxic poisoning.
So what I found is that as I did these tests and I got all these toxic elements out of my brain, I activated and unleashed my own natural genius and then I was able to really go in and learn all of this and now operate this.
I even do all the maintenance on this instrument.
So, I am doing PhD-level, high-level analytical chemistry and atomic spectroscopy, and it's fun.
You know, it's not out of reach at all.
So, I'm going to share that with you all later, and I know there's going to be a lot of interest in that program.
Look for it.
It's going to be called Natural Genius.
But I just had to share that with you because some people, some critics can be in such a state of denial that they're like, this can't be true, you know, this can't be happening.
No one...
No journalist could figure out how to do it.
Really?
Okay.
Well, then I guess I'm just doing it in my own mind.
It's not really happening.
I guess I should return the argon tanks because apparently I'm not using them.
All right.
And actually, you know, so this, going back to my lab, where did that go?
Here.
See, here's my lab.
Check out what's in the background.
Look at that.
The auto sampler right there.
There's the peripump right there.
The peristaltic pump.
The internal standard.
The tubing.
The nebulizer.
The spray chamber.
And the plasma torch.
It's actually on.
You can see it glowing in this photo.
I'm so busy I couldn't even take time to turn it off to do photos.
So it's still on.
There's the ventilation tube right there.
There's the microwave digestion system there on the left.
Oh, and there's actually the diagram of the pulse analog detector that I explained.
Right there.
And this is a little mass to charge ratio system.
There's some of my notes for looking for oxides and argides, chlorides and so on.
Doubly charged.
Some notes to look out for polyatomic interferences.
So, if you are seeing this, this is all apparently just an illusion in your mind, too.
We are sharing the same fictional illusion.
None of this is real.
Yeah.
Okay.
But in reality, of course, it is real, and I am doing this work, and you are getting the results.
So, how cool is that?
In any case, thank you for listening and watching this video.
I hope you found it interesting.
Feel free to watch it as many times as you wish.
Feel free to browse this website.
Find results you want.
We don't have a lot of proteins right now.
Just muscle milk, which I consider to be a garbage product.
We're going to have a lot of vegan proteins in there and some whey proteins and things like that.
So a lot more is coming.
Oh, you can also check out some photo galleries on the website.
Oh, look!
Hey, there's more photos from my lab.
Oh, there, it's a slideshow.
Okay.
I'm not the guy who put photos online, but you can get, yeah, see, look, there I am doing, what is that?
I'm transferring to an auto sampler tube.
So this is the stuff that I do, you know?
Here we go.
It's real.
And we're not just making it up.
Or if we are, boy, it's elaborate.
We've gone through a lot of trouble, haven't we?
Look at all these props.
Like, we bought a bunch of vials.
Okay, enough joking around.
Anyway, thanks for watching.
My name's Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, now the food scientist, the lab director of the Natural News Forensic Food Lab, and creator of the metals capturing capacity and the metals retention factor concepts and methodology.
And these are the instruments that I use to accomplish this.
So thanks for watching and check out my articles at naturalnews.com.
