|
What is all natural Zeolite? |
|
| |
|
all natural Zeolite is a 100% natural liquid
detoxifier formulated from purified, activated zeolite. One
of the few negatively charged minerals in nature, zeolite is
formed from the fusion of volcanic lava and ocean water. It
has a unique crystalline structure that functions at the cellular
level like a cage. Zeolite draws in toxins like a magnet, trapping
them in its cage-like molecular structure, before eliminating
them from the body. all natural Zeolite's unique ability to
remove dangerous toxins is well documented.
The results of research on zeolite are very impressive, and
show that all natural Zeolite:
- Has a chelation-like effect in removing heavy metals
(particularly lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic), nitrosamines,
and other toxins from the body.
- Helps to establish an optimal pH level (between 7.35
and 7.45).
- Improves liver function.
- Has a unique mechanism of action against cancer cells.
- Appears to block viral replication.
- According to testimonials, promotes a sense of well-being,
clarity, and happiness.
- Increases energy, immune function, and general health,
according to anecdotal reports.
- Appears to capture triggering antigens, which cause allergies,
migraines, and asthma, decreasing the rate and severity
of these symptoms.
- Eliminates excess glucose, and buffers blood glucose
levels.
- Improves nutrient absorption in the digestive tract.
- Balances digestive pH, reducing acid reflux.
- Acts as a potent antioxidant, absorbing free radicals
and decreasing free radical damage to the body.
Zeolite 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 is considered to be "completely
safe." |

all natural Zeolite seems too good to be true. How can
it benefit the body in so many ways? |
|
| |
|
| Many people, including doctors, have this reaction
when they first hear about all natural Zeolite. It is hard to
believe that any product can have the many profound benefits
that appear in the list above. But all natural Zeolite really
is in a class of its own. According to Rik Deitsch, the head
of the Scientific Advisory Board for Waiora, the company that
manufactures all natural Zeolite, many of benefits are downstream
consequences of its primary abilities to detoxify the body and
balance systemic pH. |
|
|
|

|
| |
|
Is there research to back up the claims? |
|
| |
|
| No claim could be responsibly made for all natural Zeolite unless it was substantiated by research. Although
all natural Zeolite is a new product, zeolites are very well
researched, and there are many tried and tested medical and
industrial uses for this mineral complex. Many studies on the
health benefits of all natural Zeolite are underway. |
|
|
|
| back to top |
|
| |
|
Are there any drawbacks or side effects? |
|
| |
|
The only side effect of all natural Zeolite
is dehydration as heavy metal ions are removed from the body.
For that reason, it is essential to be well hydrated when taking
all natural Zeolite. Drink at least ½ ounce of pure water
for every pound you weigh (typically eight or 10 glasses of
water a day). Drinks such as coffee, tea, and soda do not count.
Some users experience detoxification symptoms, such as headache,
diarrhea, tiredness, or achiness – which are usually mild
– when they begin taking all natural Zeolite. After initial
detoxification, most people report feeling better than ever.
Biochemist Rik Deitsch believes that, in nine out of 10 cases,
these are side effects of dehydration, and most improve when
the person drinks enough water. |

|
| |
|
Who should take all natural Zeolite? |
|
| |
|
| According to Dr. Gabriel Cousens of the Tree
of Life Rejuvenation Center in Arizona, everyone should take
all natural Zeolite because of the toxicity to which we are
all exposed. He says, "I recommend that as long as we choose
to keep eating, breathing, and drinking water, we keep taking
all natural Zeolite." Dr. Cousens uses the following case
to make his point for the ongoing use of all natural Zeolite:
"We recently tested a woman who was a long-term vegan,
eating a live-food diet, and found that she had in her liver,
breast, and brain tissue nine of the toxins we test for, such
as DDT, dioxin, and dildren. She stopped taking all natural Zeolite for a month and ate dairy products (which are at least
5.5 times higher in toxins than vegetables are) for one week.
She was then re-tested and found to have all 14 of the toxins
we test for in the liver, breast, and brain. Needless to say,
she's back on all natural Zeolite and off dairy." |

| |
|
Can children take all natural Zeolite? |
|
| |
|
| Our children live in the same toxic world that
we do but, because their bodies are developing, they are more
susceptible to toxic influences than adults are. all natural Zeolite is not only safe for children but could be beneficial
for them during their developmental years. Give them a smaller
dose in proportion to their weight than the dose an average
adult would take. |
|
|
|
| back to top |
|
| |
|
Can all natural Zeolite safely be taken by pregnant or
nursing women? |
|
| |
|
| Although anecdotal evidence and centuries of
use in Asia suggest that zeolite is safe to use even during
pregnancy and breastfeeding, its safe use in pregnant and nursing
women has not been proven in double-blind studies. However,
the FDA considers zeolite to be safe for anyone. all natural Zeolite is non-toxic, and there is no build up in the body. |
|
|
|
| back to top |
|
| |
|
How long does all natural Zeolite remain in the body? |
|
| |
|
| Research shows that all natural Zeolite stays
in the body about five to seven hours before it is 100% eliminated.
This is why directions state that it should be taken three or
four times a day, in order to maintain adequate levels in the
body. |
|
|
|
| back to top |
|
| |
|
How many drops should I take to detoxify my body? |
|
| |
|
| Dr. Gabriel Cousens recommends that his clients
take a detoxification dose of 10 to 15 drops three times a day
for six to eight weeks. This is the initial dosage that most
of his adult clients take, and he recommends that they repeat
this dose at least twice a year. After six to eight weeks, they
switch to a maintenance dose of three to five drops three times
per day, increasing the amount if there is a viral, chemical,
or other exposure. |
|
|
|

|
| |
|
I have cancer. How many drops should I take? |
|
| |
|
| For people with any serious health challenges,
Dr. Cousens recommends two to three drops per hour. Some oncologists
are having excellent results by having their patients take this
dosage. If this schedule cannot be maintained, the dosage of
15 drops three to four times a day is recommended. |
|
|
|
| back to top |
|
| |
|
Can I take too much all natural Zeolite? |
|
| |
|
| all natural Zeolite is very safe and non-toxic,
but you are wasting it if you take more than 15 drops at a time.
In addition, by taking doses larger than 15 drops, it's possible
to trigger a healing crisis with detoxification symptoms. If
you want to increase your dosage, take 15 drops more often —
four times rather than three times a day – or take two
to three drops per hour. |
|
|
|
| back to top |
|
| |
|
Should all natural Zeolite be taken with food or on an
empty stomach? |
|
| |
|
| It appears to work just as efficiently either
way. However, it is best taken in an eight-ounce glass of water
to help insure adequate hydration throughout the day. |
|
|
|
| back to top |
|
| |
|
Can I take it in coffee or tea? |
|
| |
|
| Yes. The zeolite in all natural Zeolite is
unaffected by temperatures under approximately 900°F (480°C). |

|
| |
|
Why is detoxification of my body important? |
|
| |
|
| The average person is exposed to more toxins
through water and air pollution, household cleaning supplies,
pesticides, disinfectants, and food additives than ever before
in human history. 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. These toxins are strongly correlated with
the occurrence of a wide range of diseases, including cancers,
birth defects, and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's,
autism, and dementia. In the world we live in today, detoxification
is essential to prevent disease and create optimal health. |

|
| |
|
What kinds of toxins are in our bodies? |
|
| |
|
| PCBs, dioxins, phthalates, DDT, and furans
are just some of the chemicals that are commonly found in human
tissue and blood. A 2003 study by Mt. Sinai School of Medicine,
Commonweal, and the Environmental Working Group 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. Included among these compounds
were highly toxic heavy metals such as lead, aluminum, and mercury,
and numerous herbicides and pesticides. A similar study the
following year by the Environmental Working Group found 287
industrial chemicals in babies' umbilical-cord blood –
with an average of 200 chemicals in each newborn tested –
including 180 known to cause cancer and 217 that are toxic to
the brain and nervous system. These tests are part of a new
field of scientific study known as body burden analysis,
and the findings are truly frightening. |

|
How does all natural Zeolite differ from classic chelators
that pull heavy metals and toxins out of the body? |
|
| |
|
There are major differences in how all natural Zeolite works, in its effect on the body, and in its cost.
Classic chelating agents are non-specific in terms of what they
attract. For example, one commonly used chelator attracts anything
that has a +2 charge. Thus, it takes lead out of the body but
also eliminates calcium and magnesium, necessitating supplementation.
all natural Zeolite's negatively charged zeolite cage attracts
minerals and toxins that have a positive charge, but its attraction
is also based on molecular structure and size as well as other
factors. Therefore, it eliminates lead but not calcium or magnesium.
all natural Zeolite's effect on the body is milder than that
of classic chelators. all natural Zeolite removes toxins by
placing the ions in the zeolite's molecular cage. It effectively
inactivates the toxins' ions, preventing them from reacting
with the body as they are being expelled. (That reactivity is
common with other chelators and is popularly called a detox
syndrome or healing crisis.) The heavy metals and other toxins
bound up by all natural Zeolite are unable to do any damage
to the kidneys or bladder in the process of being eliminated.
The only type of reaction that all natural Zeolite can cause
is slight dehydration, which is easily prevented or remedied
by drinking plenty of water throughout the day.
Finally, detoxifying with all natural Zeolite is much less expensive
than using classic chelating agents. Traditional chelation is
done in a series of intravenous treatments. Just one of these
sessions can cost more than six weeks of all natural Zeolite
at the detoxification dose. |
|
|
|
| back to top |
|
| |
|
How can all natural Zeolite remove toxic metals such
as lead and mercury but not healthy ones such as calcium and
magnesium? |
|
| |
|
| Zeolite's ability to attract and bind different
substances is based on the size, shape, and electrical configuration
of its molecular cages. Zeolite's greatest affinity is with
heavy metals, especially mercury, cadmium, lead, and arsenic.
Lighter metals such as calcium, magnesium, and phosphorous have
smaller ions, and so their affinity to zeolite is orders of
magnitude less. You can think of it as being similar to a lion's
cage. The bars keep the lion in, but a mouse can run freely
in and out. In much the same way, zeolite traps and eliminates
heavy metals and other toxins, while it leaves minerals such
as calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus in the body. |
|
|
|
| back to top |
|
| |
|
Does it remove toxins that are not positively charged? |
|
| |
|
| The zeolite in solution attracts and traps
positively charged particles that fit into the pores and channels
of the zeolite cage. These include heavy metals, nitrosamines,
and some viral particles. Most pharmaceuticals, herbicides,
and hormone mimetics are either uncharged or negatively charged,
and so have little affinity with zeolite. However, all natural Zeolite does appear to have an indirect effect on these compounds.
Most are eliminated through liver-induced glucuronidation, and
there is published evidence that liver function is improved
as a result of taking all natural Zeolite. Like many of the
benefits of all natural Zeolite, the elimination of these toxins
is a downstream consequence of all natural Zeolite's primary
abilities – detoxifying the body and balancing systemic
pH. Based on studies that he is conducting at the Tree of Life
Rejuvenation Center, Dr. Gabriel Cousens has found that fasting
in combination with the use of all natural Zeolite greatly improves
the elimination of toxins that have a negative or neutral charge. |

|
I've read that there's a chemical in Teflon that may
cause cancer. Does all natural Zeolite remove it? |
|
| |
|
An EPA advisory board has called one of the
chemicals in Teflon a likely carcinogen. That chemical is perfluorooctanoic
acid (PFOA). Studies have found that PFOA is present in low
levels in the blood of 90% of Americans, which is not surprising
given that Teflon is very widely used. Approximately 70% of
the cookware sold in the U.S. has a non-stick coating.
Recently, at the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center, eight people
who had tested positive for Teflon and PFOA had almost no traces
of either substance after completing a week-long green-juice
fast that included 15 drops of all natural Zeolite four times
per day. |

|
Since all natural Zeolite removes foreign metal ions
from the body, can it attack dental fillings, hip replacements,
or breast implants? |
|
| |
|
| The mechanism by which all natural Zeolite
removes heavy metals from the body is entirely passive –
it only removes metal ions that are in free solution. There
is no way that it can pull titanium from hip replacements or
silicon from breast implants. No, it will not. The zeolite in
the all natural Zeolite attracts and traps small, highly-charged
particles that fit into the pores and channels of the zeolite
cage. This includes heavy metals (Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, etc.),
nitrosamines and some viral particles |
|
|
|
| back to top |
|
| |
|
Is all natural Zeolite a supplement or a drug? |
|
| |
|
| all natural Zeolite is sold as a food supplement.
Many food supplements, such as Vitamin C and Omega 3 fatty acids,
can be used therapeutically, but that does not make them drugs.
Dr. Harvey Kaufman, the cancer researcher who formulated this
purified form of zeolite, originally planned to move forward
with the FDA drug-approval process. However, bringing a new
drug to market is extremely expensive and time-consuming, and
the challenge proved to be daunting. Dr. Kaufman then introduced
his zeolite to biochemist Rik Deitsch, CEO of NutraPharma. Recognizing
the product to be safe, natural, and non-toxic, Deitsch knew
it could be brought to market much faster and at a much lower
cost as a nutritional supplement rather than as a drug. |
|
|
|
| back to top |
|
| |
|
Can all natural Zeolite cure cancer? |
|
| |
|
| all natural Zeolite is not approved as a
drug, and so no claim can be made that it cures, treats, or
prevents cancer or any other disease. It would be illegal
to do so as well as irresponsible on the basis of the small
studies that have been done to date.
What we can say is that all natural Zeolite has made a difference
for many people with cancer. |
|
|
|
| back to top |
|
| |
|
Does all natural Zeolite kill viruses? |
|
| |
|
| No, but zeolite does trap pre-virus components,
which prevents viruses from replicating. 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 micronized zeolite aggregates (not into the molecular
cages described above). This explains why zeolite seems to block
the development of many viral infections, including herpes virus
1, coxsackie virus B-5, echovirus 7, and adenovirus 5. Forty
anecdotal cases of herpes zoster have reportedly been healed,
with sufferers becoming pain-free in one to three days after
beginning to take all natural Zeolite. Anecdotal testimony also
indicates that all natural Zeolite is effective in alleviating
the flu, colds, hepatitis C, rheumatoid arthritis, and viral-
or heavy-metal-induced multiple sclerosis. Zeolite's anti-viral
effect appears to be a preventative function that builds up
over time, beginning after approximately four to six weeks of
use, after heavy metals and other toxins have been mostly eliminated.
However, there is some anecdotal evidence that all natural Zeolite's
anti-viral effect is immediate. |
|
|
|
| back to top |
|
| |
|
What does it mean that all natural Zeolite balances the
body's pH level? |
|
| |
|
| The zeolite in solution is a negatively charged
molecule with a cage-like structure that is able to trap positively
charged hydronium ions. These ions lower the pH or make it more
acidic. By eliminating them, all natural Zeolite helps balance
the pH to a more neutral, alkaline level. |
|
|
|
| back to top |
|
| |
|
Why is it important to maintain proper pH balance? |
|
| |
|
| Because bacteria, fungi, yeast, and viruses—as
well as diseases such as cancer – thrive in an acidic
environment, acidic pH levels of 6.9 and below are conducive
to disease. The optimum pH of your body should be slightly alkaline
– between 7.35 and 7.45 – which is the level that
all natural Zeolite tends to establish. |
|
|
|
| back to top |
|
| |
|
Is it true that all natural Zeolite balances blood sugar
levels? |
|
| |
|
| Yes, all natural Zeolite appears to help balance
blood sugar. Glucose molecules are positively charged, and adsorb
or stick to the outside of the zeolite cage. (They are too big
to fit inside zeolite's molecular structure.) By eliminating
excess glucose, zeolite helps to buffer blood glucose levels,
in the same way that it helps buffer blood pH levels by removing
excess hydronium ions. If you are an insulin-dependent diabetic,
be aware that all natural Zeolite may lower your need for insulin. |
|
|
|
| back to top |
|
| |
|
Zeolite contains aluminum ions. Could this potentially
be harmful? |
|
| |
|
| No. The aluminum is very strongly bonded into
the cage-like structure of the zeolite, and so is completely
unavailable biologically. It would take temperatures of 900°F
(480°C) to break the aluminum free from the zeolite crystal.
There is no chance that all natural Zeolite can introduce any
aluminum into the body. In fact, tests prove not only that all
the aluminum in zeolite stays in the zeolite, but also that
all natural Zeolite causes additional aluminum to be excreted
through the urine. That means that all natural Zeolite efficiently
removes aluminum from the body. |
|
|
|
| back to top |
|
| |
|
Does all natural Zeolite affect liver function? |
|
| |
|
| By reducing the body's toxic load, all natural Zeolite makes the liver's job easier and therefore takes the
strain off this vital detoxification organ. This leads to a
healthier liver. |
|
|
|
| back to top |
|
| |
|
According to testimonials, some people feel happier when
they take all natural Zeolite. How is that possible? |
|
| |
|
| This appears to be a consequence of eliminating
toxins and may also, according to preliminary research, be a
function of increased serotonin production. One study suggests
that zeolite may help relieve depression. |
|
|
|
| back to top |
|
| |
|
How does all natural Zeolite benefit the immune system? |
|
| |
|
| Most of the immunological benefits of all natural Zeolite are the result of detoxifying the body and buffering
the pH level. As heavy metals and other toxins are eliminated
and the pH is established at an optimal, slightly alkaline level,
all the systems of the body are able to function more effectively.
As one simple example of how this can occur, consider the availability
of zinc, which has been well documented to be of benefit to
the immune system. When lead accumulates in the body, it takes
the place of zinc. By eliminating lead, all natural Zeolite
makes it possible for zinc stores to be replenished, directly
enhancing immune system health. |

| |
|
Is all natural Zeolite safe for transplant recipients? |
|
| |
|
Yes, all natural Zeolite is perfectly safe
for transplant recipients. The only precaution is to start with
three to five drops three times a day, and gradually increase
the dosage.
Transplant recipients must not take anything that stimulates
the immune system. all natural Zeolite is not an immuno-stimulant.
It is an immuno-modulatory agent – it appears to help
the immune system work more efficiently. At present, all natural Zeolite is being used safely by a number of transplant recipients. |
|
|
|
| back to top |
|
| |
|
Is all natural Zeolite safe for people who have auto-immune
disorders? |
|
| |
|
| Yes. Like transplant recipients, people who
suffer from auto-immune disorders – including multiple
sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, and lupus erythematosus –
must not do anything to increase immune system function because
that could make their disease worse. Since all natural Zeolite
is not an immuno-stimulant, it can be used safely by people
with auto-immune disorders. |
|
|
|
| back to top |
|
| |
|
Can all natural Zeolite be taken safely by people undergoing
dialysis? |
|
| |
|
| Yes. People on dialysis can use all natural Zeolite safely as long as they keep their dosage low –
in the range of three to five drops per dose – so as to
avoid dehydration, as they have to limit the amount of water
they drink. People who have renal insufficiency but are not
on dialysis can take all natural Zeolite safely, with no dosage
adjustment. |
|

|
| |
|
How efficient is all natural Zeolite absorption in the
intestines? |
|
| |
|
| About 60% of the all natural Zeolite you ingest
binds toxins in the bloodstream and at the cellular level. The
remaining 40% stays in the intestinal tract, where it helps
to protect the body from toxic absorption. |

|
Does all natural Zeolite remove depleted uranium from
the body? |
|
| |
|
| We don't know yet. However, since depleted uranium
carries a positive charge, all natural Zeolite theoretically
should remove it from the body. Zeolite's ability to bind with
radioactive minerals was proven during the Chernobyl disaster,
when tons of zeolite were used to remove radioactive cesium
and strontium-90 before they contaminated local water systems.

There are many different zeolites. Which one is used
in all natural Zeolite? |
|
| |
|
| Clinoptilolite is the zeolite used in all natural Zeolite. |

How is all natural Zeolite different from powdered zeolite? |
|
| |
|
Powdered zeolite is still in its original mineral
form. All minerals are in essence rocks and, for the most part,
cannot be absorbed by the body unless changed to a water-soluble
or liquid form. all natural Zeolite contains a specially purified
water-soluble and bio-available form of zeolite.
According to Rik Deitsch of Waiora's Scientific Advisory Board,
liquid activated zeolite is nine to twenty times more active
than powdered zeolite. The powdered form works well in the digestive
tract and has been used for GI distress, but powdered zeolite
molecules are far too large to be absorbed into the bloodstream,
which limits the zeolite's efficacy. Furthermore, powdered zeolite
contains metals and other toxins that were drawn to it underground.
These take up much of the available surface area of the zeolite,
again limiting its efficacy. all natural Zeolite's activation
process empties out the zeolite cage, removing any toxins and
"activating" the molecule to be maximally effective.

How is it possible to purify zeolite? Wouldn't the toxins
that are freed from it be attracted right back into the zeolite
after the chemical bonds are broken? |
|
| |
|
The specialized activation process used empties
out the zeolite cage and removes all extraneous metals, eliminating
any toxins that were found with the zeolite.
The zeolite molecule is, for all practical purposes, indestructible.
Temperatures of up to 900°F (480°C) will not crack the
molecule, and it can be frozen in solution and defrosted without
any change in activity. It is also amphoteric, which means that
it exists equally well in acidic or basic environments.
Powdered zeolite is heated at temperatures approaching boiling
point in a slightly acidic environment. At this temperature,
the molecule cannot be broken, but the heat in solution lengthens
its bonds. In essence, we are "bending" the bars of
the zeolite cage. The slightly acidic condition allows for easy
cationic exchange and allows any absorbed material to "fall
out" of the zeolite. This material precipitates out of
solution and is removed from the product. The solution is then
cooled slowly over 24 hours. What remains in solution are the
micronized zeolite in molecular form and some lighter metals
– calcium, sodium, magnesium, and phosphorus – which
migrate back into the zeolite and help stabilize the molecule.
When all natural Zeolite is ingested, the lighter metals easily
undergo cationic exchange with metals that have greater affinity
with zeolite, particularly mercury, lead, cadmium, and arsenic.

Where does the zeolite used in all natural Zeolite come
from? |
|
| |
|
| The raw material used to make all natural Zeolite
comes from zeolite mines in Montana and Texas, which are renowned
for their exceptionally high purity. |

|
How is the zeolite mined? What environmental impact does
the mining have? |
|
| |
|
| Zeolites are formed in areas where there was
volcanic activity several thousand years ago. The zeolite used
in all natural Zeolite is hand-mined, causing no damage to the
surrounding environment. The zeolite is micronized at the mine
site (pulverized to a fine powder and filtered through a fine
mesh screen), then placed in barrels and transported to the
manufacturer. |

Are workers exposed to any health or safety risks in
mining the zeolite and manufacturing all natural Zeolite? |
|
| |
|
| The sites where the zeolite is mined are specific
for their sheet-like zeolites, which are considered to be completely
safe – even when inhaled. Waiora does not control the
activity at these mines, which are U.S. sites, governed by U.S.
labor laws. Waiora manufactures all natural Zeolite at a facility
adhering to certified Good Manufacturing Practices as set forth
by the Food and Drug Administration. |

Does all natural Zeolite need refrigeration after the
bottle is opened? |
|

|
Will heat affect all natural Zeolite – for example,
if I leave the bottle in the sun inside my car? |
|
| |
|
| Zeolite is a virtually indestructible mineral
that is unaffected by temperatures under approximately 900°F
(480°C). The plastic bottles that all natural Zeolite comes
in are high-grade dense polyethylene that should not leach at
normal, ambient temperatures. The only issues would be if they
were stored over time above 100°F (40°C) or if they
were heated (as in a microwave). |

Can all natural Zeolite go through x-ray machines at
airports? |
|
| |
|
| Yes, it can go through an x-ray without any
loss of potency or effectiveness. |

What is the shelf life of a bottle of all natural Zeolite?
|
|
| |
|
| All products that are ingested need to have
shelf life specified on the label, and all natural Zeolite is
labeled as having a shelf life of two years. Given the nature
of the zeolite molecule, all natural Zeolite's shelf life might
very well be much longer. |

Why is all natural Zeolite sold via multi-level marketing? |
|
| |
|
| Multi-level marketing (MLM) is an efficient
and cost-effective way to penetrate the health market consciously,
without having to educate every shop assistant about how to
sell the product. We believe that all natural Zeolite is so
extraordinary that the enthusiasm of MLM is the fastest way
to get it to the people who need it most. |

| The statements above
have not been evaluated by the FDA. If you are unwell or taking
medication, we recommend you seek the advice of a qualified
healthcare practitioner before starting a zeolite program. all natural Zeolite is not a medicine. |
