SUMMARY |
| |
| This summary details a major breakthrough in detoxifying the human
body of the carcinogens, heavy metals, viruses, bacteria, fungi, and
overall acid conditions that promote and cause disease. |
| |
| * * * |
| |
| Some 70,000 chemicals are being dumped into our environment, 65,000
of which are potentially hazardous to our health. We live in a virtual
sea of pollutants, and carry many of these toxins within us. They
can be found even in unborn children. A 2004 study by the Environmental
Working Group identified 287 industrial chemicals in babies' umbilical-cord
blood, including 180 known to cause cancer and 217 that are toxic
to the brain and nervous system. |
| |
| In my research to develop a detoxification system for prospective
mothers, I recently learned about a naturally occurring mineral called
zeolite, which has a unique, negatively charged, crystalline structure.
Zeolite is formed from the fusion of lava and ocean water, and combines
all four elements. I feel that zeolite is an alchemical gift from
God. It has been used for more than 800 years in Asia as a remedy
for overall health and well-being, and is on the FDA's GRAS list (generally
recognized as safe). Zeolite is available commercially in a purified,
activated form. |
| |
| The results of research on zeolite are very impressive: |
| |
| 1. |
Zeolite appears to prevent and may become an important
treatment for cancer. In one study, 78 percent of the 65 participants
with terminal cancer (many types) are now in complete remission
for 12 months (LifeLink Pharmaceuticals, 2005, currently not
published). |
| |
|
| 2. |
It has a chelation-like effect in removing heavy metals (particularly
lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic), pesticides, herbicides,
PCBs, and other toxins from the body. These toxins are strongly
correlated with the occurrence of a wide range of diseases,
including cancers and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's,
autism, and dementia. |
| |
|
| 3. |
Zeolite also improves liver function, indirectly improving
elimination of pesticides, herbicides, and xeno-estrogens. |
| |
|
| 4. |
Zeolite appears to block viral replication, and may prove
to be a potent anti-viral and general remedy for all viruses.
To date, 40 anecdotal cases of herpes zoster have reportedly
been healed. Preliminary anecdotal case studies suggest that
it may help alleviate rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis,
and hepatitis C as well as the common cold and flu. |
| |
|
| 5. |
Zeolite's binding power was proven during the Chernobyl disaster,
when tons of it were used to remove radioactive cesium and strontium-90
before they contaminated local water systems. |
| |
|
| 6. |
Zeolite creates a natural buffer in the system by establishing
an optimal pH level (between 7.35 and 7.45), which in turn activates
healthy brain function and a strong immune system. |
| |
|
| 7. |
It is an effective detoxifier for prospective mothers and
fathers. Anecdotal evidence and centuries of use in Asia suggest
that zeolite is safe to use even during pregnancy and breastfeeding,
although its safe use in pregnancy has not been proven in double-blind
studies. |
| |
|
| 8. |
According to testimonials, zeolite promotes a sense of well-being,
clarity, and happiness. It appears to do this as a consequence
of eliminating toxins and also, according to preliminary research,
by increasing serotonin production. One study suggests that
zeolite also helps relieve depression. |
| |
|
| 9. |
Anecdotal reports suggest that zeolite increases energy,
immune function, and general health. |
| |
|
| 10. |
Zeolite neutralizes the formation of nitrosamines in the stomach.
Found in processed meats, nitrosamines are one cause of stomach
cancer. Another positive effect on the stomach, according to
many anecdotal reports, is relief of acid reflux. |
| |
|
| 11. |
Testimonials suggest that zeolite captures triggering antigens,
which cause allergies, migraines, and asthma, decreasing the
rate and severity of these symptoms. |
| |
|
| 12. |
Zeolite directly absorbs free radicals and thus decreases
free radical activity and damage to the body. |
|
| |
| A pilot study at the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center with 60 people,
based on my non-toxic baby protocol for preparing parents to bring
forth non-toxic babies, consisted of a one-week green juice fast and
detox support program with zeolite in the form of All Natural Zeolite
(a brand of liquid zeolite) 15 drops, 4X/day. The following
very significant results were found. 22 people were tested for
depleted uranium (DU), a very serious worldwide radioactive contamination
resulting from the use of DU armaments, especially used in Iraq.
20 of the 22 people tested initially had DU in at least the liver,
the breast, or the brain, and 17 of the 22 people had started with
it in all three organs, the liver, the breast, and the brain.
In one week on this protocol, all the people became DU-free except
for one person, who still had DU in the liver. Also, thirty-two
people were tested for Teflon and Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), the
carcinogenic element of teflon. Teflon was found in the livers
of 27 people, the breasts of 25 people, and the brains of 28 people.
All but two people became teflon-free after one week. Only one
person had Teflon remaining in the breast, and one person had Teflon
remaining in the brain. In the same 32 people, initially PFOA
was found in the liver of 28 people, the breast of 29 people, and
the brain of 28 people. After one week, all people became PFOA-free
except for one person having PFOA remaining in the breast and brain.
In testing people for a whole set of toxins consisting of 14 to 26
of the common heavy metals, pesticides, and herbicides, the people
initially had on average 90 to 95% of the toxins in their liver, breast,
and brain, whether they were live-food eaters or not. The overall
percentage of removal of these toxins from these organs was 87%, leaving
only 13% of the toxins in their systems overall. This included
90% removal from the liver, 87% removal from the breast, and 86% removal
from the brain. In the 60 people tested for the heavy metals,
pesticides, and herbicide toxins, initially 845 toxins were found
in the subjects' livers, 876 toxins in the breasts, 8 toxins in the
brain. After the one-week protocol, just 88 toxins were left
in the liver, 115 toxins left in the breast, and 124 toxins left in
the brain: |

| The four subjects who continued the green juice fasting with NCD
for two weeks went down to 0 toxins, a 100% removal rate. These results
suggest a powerful synergy of NCD plus a detoxifying green juice fast.
In observing thousands of fasters since 1988, fasting alone, although
wonderful for enhancing the vital force, does not seem to significantly
get rid of pesticides, herbicides, and heavy metals after 1 week by
itself. I am proposing a theoretical model for explaining the testimonials
of the powerful, across-the-board healing effects of NCD (a purified
zeolite) from such health problems as ADD/Hyperactivity, Addiction,
Agent Orange Exposure, Arthritis, Autism, Cancer, Cysts and Tumors,
Depression, DES Exposure, Diabetes, Fibromyalgia, Flu, Colds, and
Respiratory Problems, Gastro-Intestinal Problems, Heavy Metal Poisoning,
Hepatitis C, High Blood Pressure, Kidney Stones, Lack of Mental Clarity,
Pain, PMS/Menstrual Pain, Silicone Breast Implant Toxicity, Skin Conditions,
Toothache/Gum Disease, Varicose and Spider Veins, Viral and Other
Infections, Yeast Infections. The model is a foundational healing
concept. The basic mechanism we can draw from the literature and my
present pilot study is that, by removing heavy metals, pesticides,
herbicides, and DU, as well as through its effect of increasing immune
system function, alkalizing the blood, blocking viral replication,
and neutralizing free radicals, the NCD removes the blocks which compromise
the vital life force. When the vital life force is freed up and activated,
the body’s natural ability does the healing and relieving of
these chronic diseases itself. With the NCD, we have returned to the
basic natural healing theory for all chronic diseases. NCD is truly
an alchemical gift from the Divine. |

MAIN ARTICLE |

| Toxins poison our air, our water, our food , and our bodies. According
to the EPA, 70,000 chemicals are used commercially in the
U.S., 65,000 of which are potentially hazardous to our health.
The Environmental Defense Council reports that more than four
billion pounds of toxic chemicals are released into the environment
each year, including 72 million pounds of known carcinogens. |
| |
| Cancer fatalities account for approximately 12 percent of all deaths
worldwide each year. Across the globe, 10.9 million people are diagnosed
with cancer annually and 6.7 million die because of it. According
to the World Health Organization, global cancer rates could increase
by 50 percent in the next 15 years. The U.S. ranks in the top three
countries with the highest cancer rate in both men and women. |
| |
| The toxic onslaught doesn't stop with carcinogens. A joint study
by Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, Commonweal, and the Environmental
Working Group in 2003 identified a total of 167 hazardous compounds
in the blood and urine of American adults (with an average of 91 per
person tested), including 76 known to cause cancer, 94 that are toxic
to the nervous system, 82 that damage the lungs, 86 that affect hormone
function, and 79 that cause birth defects. A study by the Environmental
Working Group in 2004 found a total of 287 industrial chemicals in
babies' umbilical-cord blood, including 180 known to cause cancer,
217 that are toxic to the brain and nervous system, and 208 that cause
birth or developmental defects in animals. |
| |
| As many as 25 percent of Americans are estimated to suffer
from some degree of heavy metal poisoning , particularly
from mercury, lead, cadmium, and arsenic. We are also exposed
to a significant amount of radiation and increasing viral attacks.
Our immune systems are further compromised by poor nutrition and unhealthy
lifestyles, and most of us suffer from an excessively acidic pH level,
which creates an internal environment in which cancer, as well as
viral, bacterial, and fungal infections can thrive. |
| |
| In my work to develop a detoxification system for prospective mothers
to enable them to bring non-toxic babies into the world, I have searched
for a simple, natural remedy that could serve as a practical antidote
for toxicity. Recently , I learned about zeolite, a naturally
occurring, negatively charged mineral, with a unique crystalline structure.
Zeolite is formed from the fusion of volcanic lava and ocean water,
and combines the four elements – air, earth, water, and fire.
It has been used for 800 years throughout Asia as a traditional
remedy to promote overall health and well-being, and for 30 years
in the U.S. in animal feed. It has also undergone 13
years of pharmaceutical research in the U.S. with humans.
Zeolite is included on the Food and Drug Administration's
GRAS list (generally recognized as safe) and thus is considered
to be completely safe. |
| |
| A biochemist from a small pharmaceutical company in Ohio researched
and purified zeolite, was amazed by its potential, and was granted
a patent (U.S. #6,288,045). That patent is now held by a nutritional
and research biochemist, who leases it to the company that markets
purified zeolite. |
| |
| Zeolite may well be one of the most potent natural preventatives
and treatments for cancer ever discovered. LifeLink Pharmaceuticals
recently completed a preliminary, 14-month, open-label study of 65
level-four, terminal-stage cancer patients. These people had various
types of cancer, and all of them had been sent home to die. After
taking purified zeolite, 51 of them (78 percent) experienced complete
remission, which means that their cancer disappeared. This preliminary
research suggests that purified and activated zeolite may be effective
in treating all forms of cancer, leukemia, and lymphoma. |
| |
| Zeolite's mechanism of action against cancer cells is unique and
unlike that of any other substance I have studied. Theoretically,
it has the rare ability to take in a tremendous amount of positively
charged toxins, indirectly neutralizing their effect in causing cancer.
In the process, the zeolite develops a slight positive charge. It
is then attracted to and pulled right into the negatively charged
membrane of the cancer cell. When the zeolite moves inside the cancer
cell, the cell’s P21 gene is activated. This gene acts as a
tumor suppressor through its ability to control cell-cycle progression.
The activation of P21 appears to halt the growth of tumors by directly
suppressing growth signals. |
| |
| During in-vitro studies using zeolite, all cancer cells
tested were destroyed within 72 hours (LifeLink Pharmaceuticals, U.S.
Patent #6288045, 2001). This is a claim that cannot be made
about any other substance. However, because it is still in the preliminary
research phase, it is too soon to declare that zeolite is a cure for
cancer. |
| |
| What we can say is that zeolite has a chelation-like effect
in removing heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, and other positively
charged toxins from the system. Zeolite's negatively charged
crystalline structure is what makes this possible. Its crystals act
as cages, inside of which are positive ions. These positive ions switch
places with positively charged toxins in the body, tightly bind them,
and excrete them completely. One of the benefits of binding
toxins in this manner is that they are 100 percent excreted.
Heavy metals, pesticides, and herbicides all leave the system; they
do not get deposited elsewhere in the body. Forty percent of zeolite
binds heavy metals in the gastrointestinal tract, and 60 percent binds
toxins in the bloodstream and at the cellular level. Zeolite's binding
power was proven during the Chernobyl disaster, when tons of it were
used to remove radioactive cesium and strontium-90 before they contaminated
local water systems. Acting primarily as a chelator, zeolite trapped
these radioactive minerals within its crystalline cage structure. |
| |
| Zeolite appears to remove toxins from the body in a hierarchical
order. It first acts strongly to remove lead, mercury, cadmium,
and arsenic. This first phase may take one to four weeks
or longer. Zeolite then removes second-priority toxins, including
pesticides, herbicides, and plastics. Zeolite appears to increase
the rate of glucuronization in the liver, activating phase II of the
glucuronidase function. This in turn removes pesticides, herbicides,
and xeno-estrogens from the body, releasing them through the urine.
Interestingly, it also appears to neutralize the aflatoxin poison. |
| |
| A third function of zeolite is to trap pre-virus components,
preventing the replication of viruses and their ability to make us
sick. In this way, zeolite may play an important role as a broad-spectrum
anti-viral. Viruses are produced in parts as on a production line,
at the end of which the virus is fully constructed. Zeolite
absorbs viral parts into the pores of the mirconized zeolite aggregates
(not into the chelating-like cages described above). This explains
why zeolite seems to block the development of many viral infections
, including herpes virus 1, coxsachie virus B-5, ecco-virus 7, and
adeno virus 5. Forty anecdotal cases of herpes zoster have reportedly
been cured, with sufferers becomingpain-free in one to three
days after beginning to take zeolite. Anecdotal testimony also reports
that it is effective in alleviating or curing the flu, colds, hepatitis
C, viral or heavy-metal induced multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid
arthritis. Zeolite's effect as an anti-viral appears to be a preventative
function that builds up over time, beginning after approximately four
to six weeks of use, when heavy metals, pesticides, and herbicides
have been mostly eliminated. There is anecdotal evidence, however,
that in some cases its anti-viral effect seems to be immediate. |
| |
| Zeolite also is a unique antioxidant. A traditional antioxidant
works by absorbing excess free radicals into its system because
it has an unpaired electron. In contrast, zeolite traps free radicals
in its complex structure, inactivating and eliminating them. In this
way, it acts as a complement to traditional antioxidants. |
| |
| In addition, zeolite buffers the system towards slight alkalinity
by establishing pH levels of 7.35 to 7.45, which is the optimum
pH for the human 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, hallucinations, or even psychosis. |
| |
| Zeolite also appears to balance the immune system
, either up- or down-regulating it as needed. Although the precise
mechanism for this is not entirely understood, this function is clearly
very important in a world in which most people’s immune systems
are seriously compromised. |
| |
| Because zeolite so powerfully removes various types of toxins
from the body, it naturally increases energy and well-being. Users
report improvements in mental clarity and a sense of peace, wellness,
and happiness. These are what we term positive secondary
effects. For example, clearing out heavy metals allows the body's
magnesium stores to work efficiently with adenosine triphosphate (ATP),
the biological source of energy in the body. When this interaction
is occurring optimally, people have more energy and experience greater
well-being. One study has demonstrated that zeolite also appears
to increase serotonin level, which is known to help alleviate
some forms of depression. |
| |
| Zeolite shows promise as an effective detoxifier for women
who plan to become pregnant . Recently, at the Tree of Life
Rejuvenation Center, it was added to the protocol for the 10-day detoxification
program for prospective mothers. In two women who just completed the
program, toxins in their breast tissue dropped significantly from
12 in one and 13 in the other to only two in seven days. Toxins in
their liver and brain tissue also dropped to an average of only two. |
| |
| Based on centuries of use in Asia and anecdotal accounts of its
use by pregnant women, zeolite appears to be safe even for
women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. However, its safe
use in pregnancy has not been tested in double-blind studies, and
no claims for safe use in pregnancy can be made. |
| |
| Zeolite is commercially available in a purified and activated form.
There are no reports of side effects, except one:
because of its natural action to absorb water, zeolite can cause dehydration.
It is therefore important to drink sufficient water (approximately
eight glasses a day) both before and while taking zeolite to ensure
adequate hydration. |
| |
| There is only one contraindication: Zeolite is
contraindicated for anyone taking a medication containing heavy metals,
such as lithium, or containing platinum, which is found in some cancer
medications. Before taking Zeolite, check with your doctor to determine
if your medication contains heavy metals or platinum. |
| |
| Dosage: The product with zeolite is a clear, tasteless,
and odorless liquid. The general adult dosage is 10 drops three times
a day. It can be taken with or away from meals. As a support for cancer
prevention or as an addition to a cancer treatment program, 15 drops
three to four times a day is recommended. Zeolite remains active in
the body for five to seven hours, and then needs to be replenished.
After four to six weeks of use (at 10 drops three times a day), a
maintenance dosage of three to five drops three times a day can be
taken, with the amount increased if ever there is a viral, chemical,
or other exposure. Children can be given two drops, three times a
day, as a general dose. |
| |
| Higher doses of 15 drops, three times a day, require about four
bottles a month. Doses of 10 drops, three times a day, require about
three bottles a month. And the maintenance dosage of three drops,
three times a day, requires one bottle a month. |
| |
| I take this natural product with zeolite, and I feel that everyone
living in the industrial world should be taking it on a regular basis.
This product is very different from supplements that add to well-being,
but are not essential. Zeolite is simple, elegant, extraordinary,
and vital for healthy living in today's toxic world. I believe this
most unique, natural substance is an alchemical gift from God to help
us face our present-day health challenges due to ecological ignorance
or, as they are called in Ayurveda, prajna prathara or crimes
against nature. |
