The net effect is lowering the amount of potassium available for absorption into the blood and increasing the amount that is excreted via the feces. The effect is a reduction of potassium levels in the body, at a capacity of 1 mEq of potassium exchanged per 1 g of resin. [8] [11]
Potassium binders are medications that bind potassium ions in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby preventing its intestinal absorption. This category formerly consisted solely of polystyrene sulfonate, a polyanionic resin attached to a cation, administered either orally or by retention enema to patients who are at risk of developing hyperkalaemia (abnormal high serum potassium levels).
(reference -zirconium silicate and zirconium germate molecular sieves and the process of using the same, US Patent 5,888,472) the recognition of the unique ion exchange properties and the potential use to remove toxins from the body were identified shortly thereafter ("process for removing toxins from bodily fluids using zirconium or titanium ...
An alkaline hydrolysis disposal system at the Biosecurity Research Institute inside of Pat Roberts Hall at Kansas State University. Alkaline hydrolysis (also called biocremation, resomation, [1] [2] flameless cremation, [3] aquamation [4] or water cremation [5]) is a process for the disposal of human and pet remains using lye and heat; it is alternative to burial, cremation, or sky burial.
Vibration: the body is disintegrated into particles within minutes Freeze drying: particles are freeze dried in a drying chamber, leaving approximately 30% of the original weight Metal separation: any metals (e.g., tooth amalgam , artificial hips , etc.) are removed, either by magnetism or by sieving .
Colestyramine removes bile acids from the body by forming insoluble complexes with bile acids in the intestine, which are then excreted in the feces. [1] As a result of this loss of bile acids, more plasma cholesterol is converted to bile acids in the liver to normalise levels. [ 1 ]

Bone ash is a material often used in cupellation, a process by which precious metals (such as gold and silver) are removed from base metals. In cupellation, base metals in an impure sample are oxidized with the help of lead and are vaporized and absorbed into a porous cupellation material, typically made of magnesium or calcium .
