Each year the U.S. alone releases a staggering 4 billion
pounds of these toxins into our environment contaminating the air,
water, soil, plants, animals, and, of course, humans. Mercury, lead,
cadmium, arsenic, insecticides, dioxins, furans, phthalates, VOCs,
and PCBs are just some of the foreign substances that have created
an excessive toxic body burden of harmful chemicals. Most of us have
between 400 - 800 potentially toxic, carcinogenic,
endocrine-disrupting, and genedamaging chemicals stored within our
cells.
Is the Cancer Epidemic Related to Toxins? According to the
Columbia University School of Public Health, 95 percent of cancer is
caused by poor diet and environmental toxicity. And it’s not just
cancer. The systems most affected by these toxic compounds include
the immune, neurological, and endocrine systems. The deleterious
effects of toxins upon these systems can lead to many chronic health
problems including: immune dysfunction, autoimmunity, inflammation,
asthma, allergies, cognitive deficits, mood changes, neurological
illnesses, and changes in libido, reproductive dysfunction,
hyperlipidemia and glucose dysregulation.
Of all the toxins, mercury is the most destructive to the
neurological, immune and endocrine systems. It is a deadly mutagen
causing DNA damage. Mercury contributes to or causes illnesses
including autism, autoimmune diseases, Alzheimer’s disease, cancers,
heart disease, endocrine problems, and neurological and behavioral
disorders.
The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR)
lists mercury at number three on the hazardous metal list. Despite
this glaring truth many uninformed doctors and dentists continue to
assure the public that the same mercury that is extremely dangerous
when spilled on the floor becomes suddenly safe when it is used in
the mouth as part of amalgam dental fillings or is used as a
“preservative” in multi-dose vials of infant vaccines. Mercury
typically makes up about 50% of a dental amalgam according to NEWMOA.
The FDA in June of 2008 did finally admit that mercury amalgam is
neurotoxic however they still deny the neurotoxic and immunotoxicity
of the thimerosal contained within infant vaccines.
The problem with toxins such as mercury and lead is that
once they enter the body, they are difficult to remove. Toxic
accumulation quickly overwhelms the body’s detoxification pathways
and can ultimately result in severe symptoms or a chronic,
debilitating illness. The alarming fact is that there are simply no
safe levels of exposure to any of these toxic contaminants.
Researchers at the Heart Disease Foundation in New York
found that antibiotics used to treat infection were not effective in
the presence of heavy metals such as mercury and lead. These toxic
heavy metals coexisted with infections caused by Chlamydia
trachomatis and Herpes simplex, as well as with cytomegalovirus and
other microorganisms, including viruses associated with cancer.
Overwhelming evidence that toxic heavy metals cause the
development of chronic illness is now widely available in scientific
literature. And yet the study of toxic metals and their
relationship to chronic illness has been and is still largely
overlooked in the training of mainstream health care practitioners.
Effective, concomitant detoxification of pathogens and toxins can
provide the answers and successful treatment to many illnesses
plaguing people today.
Solving the Toxicity Puzzle
A respected pioneer in the field of heavy metal
detoxification, Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, M.D., PhD has determined
that there is a direct correlation between stored toxins and
infectious pathogens. He states that “for each equivalent of stored
toxins there is an equal amount of pathogenic microorganisms in the
body.” The presence of stored toxins causes immune system deficiency
that supports the growth of pathogens such as bacteria, viruses,
fungi, and parasites.
The term Toxic Body Burden (TBB) is now being used in
reference to toxic heavy metals, synthetic chemicals, and pathogens
that enter and accumulate in the body. Retaining and restoring
vibrant health requires an effective two-pronged approach that can
detoxify toxic substances while simultaneously eliminating
infectious microorganisms.
Zeolite - Removes Toxins Naturally
Natural zeolites are a class of crystalline, hydrated
alluminosilicates of alkali and alkaline earth cations, having
threedimensional structures. Most common natural zeolites are formed
by alteration of glass-rich volcanic rocks (tuff) with fresh water
in playa lakes or by seawater. For thousands of years, civilizations
throughout the world have used zeolites as a traditional medicine.
Zeolites are now used extensively in various industrial applications
based on their properties to act as catalysts, ion exchangers,
adsorbents, and detergent builders. The specific species of zeolite
that has the most important health benefits is Clinoptilolite.
Clinoptilolite is so effective in binding toxins that it was given
to victims of the Chernobyl explosion to ingest in order to bind the
radioactive isotopes that were released and thus reduce radiation
levels in their bodies. What makes Clinoptilolite so unique is its
negatively charged, cage-like, honeycombed structure. When ingested,
this natural mineral attracts and irreversibly binds toxic heavy
metals, chemical elements, and free radicals and is then excreted
through the urinary tract. This process is called Chelation. One of
the most significant benefits of Clinoptilolite over other chelating
agents is its affinity schedule for toxic heavy metals.
Clinoptilolite binds with mercury first and lead second, moving on
to additional positively-charged toxic heavy metals and chemical
toxins which may include pesticides, herbicides, plastics, and even
radioactive particles without removing precious nutrients such as
calcium and magnesium. However, Clinoptilolite goes far beyond the
critical job of removing damaging toxins. Research has shown that it
has many other vital actions in the body. Clinoptilolite removes
free radicals. Unlike classic antioxidants, Clinoptilolite does not
neutralize free radicals by donating an electron to stabilize them.
Instead, its structure captures free radicals. Once trapped inside
the cage, the inactivated free radical can then safely be eliminated
from the body.
• Clinoptilolite helps maintain proper pH by removing acidic
ions and chemicals which then promotes optimal metabolic and immune
functions.
• Clinoptilolite may help to eliminate carcinogenic toxins
from the body, especially a category of carcinogens called
nitrosamines. The most common sources for these nitrates include
processed meats, cigarettes, and beer which are linked to
pancreatic, stomach, and colon cancers.
• Clinoptilolite treats diarrhea, promotes healthy digestion
and encourages nutrient absorption. Clinoptilolite’s ability to
capture ammonium ions during digestion promotes a healthier and less
toxic digestive system.
Dr. Howard Peiper, N.D.,
nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, has written many best-selling books
on nutrition and natural health including, “Zeolite, Nature’s Heavy
Metal Detoxifier”.
Zeolite is the Super Detoxifier
Toxic chemicals, including
poisonous heavy metals like mercury, lead, arsenic, and cadmium, are
the worst problem faced by all life as we know it. We literally live
in a chemical soup. The chemicals come into our bodies through the
food we eat, the water we drink, and the very air we breathe. This
situation actually threatens our survival.
Until recently, the only sure way
to remove the most destructive heavy metals and toxins from our
bodies was through I.V. chelation, a process both invasive and
horrendously expensive. And even if we spent hundreds of hours and
thousand of dollars on chelation treatments, the toxins would start
going right back in with our next breath, our next meal, our next
beverage.
But the solution is at hand. It’s
a miracle mineral called zeolite, and it is perhaps one of the most
important substances on Earth today.
What is Zeolite?
Zeolite is part of a group of
minerals with a four-sided honeycomb structure and, rare among
minerals, a negative magnetic charge. The effect of the structure
and the magnetic charge is that zeolites attract heavy metals and
toxins to it and simply engulfs them. The toxins “check in” and they
can’t “check out.” Then the zeolite carries them safely and
harmlessly out of the body through normal digestion.
Because of its effect on toxins,
zeolite has been used as a supplement in China for more than 900
years. In the West, it has been used by industry for various tasks,
including clearing up water pollution and as a food additive for
animals.
The form of zeolite I recommend
(there are many naturally occurring zeolites) is called
‘clinoptilolite,’ and it is this type of zeolite (in a powder form)
that has been studied for its effect in human nutrition.
Medical
Uses of Zeolite
Studies have shown that zeolite has a high affinity for trapping lead,
cadmium, arsenic, mercury and other potentially harmful metals.
Through the process of cation exchange, zeolite can lower overall
heavy metal exposure in individuals. This would have a dramatic
effect in the risk reduction of certain cancers and heart disease.
Zeolite buffers the system towards
slight alkalinity by establishing pH levels of 7.35 to 7.45 which is
the optimum pH for the body. The body’s pH level influences both
immunity and brain function. An acid blood pH (7.34 or lower)
creates a precondition for cancer. In an acid environment, brain
cell function can also be impaired, causing depression, anxiety,
stupor, paranoia, delusions or hallucinations.
Zeolite is a unique antioxidant. A
traditional antioxidant works by absorbing excess free radicals into
its system because it has an impaired electron. In contrast, zeolite
traps free radicals in its complex structure, inactivating and
eliminating them.
Other benefits from taking
zeolite are:
* Stops acute and chronic
diarrhea
* Raises the body’s antioxidant
levels
* Binds mycotoxins, forming
stable complexes
* Reduces side effects of
chemotherapy/radiation
* Stabilizes and regulates
immune system
