Dr. George J. Georgiou (Ph.D., N.D.) is a Cyprus-based naturopathic doctor, clinician, and researcher whose life’s work has focused on one big modern problem: how do we support the body in a world where toxic exposure is no longer “rare,” but routine?
With over 40 years of clinical experience, he’s become best known as the inventor and registered trademark owner of HMD® and HMD LAVAGE®—a natural approach designed to help the body mobilise and eliminate stored heavy metals more gently, with a strong emphasis on not ignoring the mineral balance that keeps people feeling stable and resilient.
Dr. Georgiou began developing HMD® in the early 2000s, driven by real-world need and hands-on clinical problem-solving, and went on to document and share research around natural chelation strategies (including work discussing HMD® and metal detoxification).
Beyond HMD®, he’s the Founder/Director of the Da Vinci Holistic Health Center in Larnaca, and has also established educational and research arms including the Da Vinci Institute of Holistic Medicine and the Da Vinci BioSciences Research Center—all built around a practical, root-cause style of holistic healthcare.
He is the author of 23 books on natural healing and chronic health challenges, including Curing the Incurable with Holistic Medicine, Diverticulosis: Natural Drugless Treatments That Work, Candida Cure, and many others on gut health, inflammation, and metabolic balance.
Learn More About HMD®
We live in a world where exposure to heavy metals isn’t some rare, industrial-only problem anymore—it’s something many people think about because of food, water, air, old plumbing, dental materials, and everyday environmental build-up. HMD® (Heavy Metal Detox) was created to give people a natural, structured option for supporting the body’s detox pathways—without turning “detox” into a vague buzzword.
What makes HMD® different?
HMD® is built around a specific, research-driven formula developed through years of testing various natural substances used for metal detox support. In a published research article, Dr Georgiou describes a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving ~350 metal foundry workers, with laboratory analysis (including ICP–MS) performed over three years to evaluate chelation potential and outcomes.
That matters because most “detox” products rely on testimonials alone—whereas HMD® has been positioned from the start as a measured, evidence-informed approach. (Still: every person is different, and detox support should always be personalised.)
What’s inside HMD®
HMD® is formulated with a synergistic blend of natural ingredients, including Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF), Coriandrum sativum (cilantro) tincture, and a chlorella-based homaccord, along with deionized water and vegetable glycerin. It is manufactured in a GMP-certified laboratory in the USA.
Many people also pair HMD® with HMD LAVAGE®, a complementary herbal blend positioned to support the body’s natural “drainage” routes (think liver/bile flow, kidneys, lymph), featuring botanicals such as dandelion root, milk thistle seed, burdock root, red clover, turmeric, and more.
A formula with a real track record
HMD® has been in use since the mid-2000s (with a listed first use date of 2005-12-30 in US trademark records), which means it’s not “the latest trend”—it’s a protocol that’s been refined and used for years in the real world.
Ready to start?
If you’re exploring HMD® for the first time, the best approach is to treat it like a step-by-step program, not a one-off “cleanse.” Start with the HMD® basics, follow the dosage guidance on the site, support hydration and minerals, and consider professional advice if you’re sensitive or have a complex health history.
Important note: HMD® is a dietary supplement. It isn’t a substitute for medical care, and it’s not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, have a medical condition, or take medications, check with a qualified healthcare professional first.
