Okay—before
I begin laying out the disturbing details of the omnipresence of heavy metal
toxins, let me remind you that I wouldn't bother to tell you about
this if there wasn't an effective personal solution to environmental
toxicity.
Given that this is true,
please do not let the contents of this report depress you. Instead,
use it to become informed. (If you are susceptible
to depression resulting from "bad" news, you may want to begin with
a download of the Emotional Freedom Techniques book at
www.emofree.com, learn to
employ the techniques, then come back to this later...)

The previous statement is true
because of the omnipresence of toxins in our environment, and
therefore, in us. The levels and numbers of toxins significantly
increase every day. The amount of mercury, the most toxic of all
substances, in our air is expected to
double every year until remedial steps are taken.
Most poisonous toxins of all are
heavy metals. Mercury, arsenic, lead, aluminum, uranium, etc.
These affect the nervous system, immune system and endocrine
system.
The endocrine system is made up of
all the glands in your system that make hormones. Hormones are
the messenger molecules that tell all the cells how to do their
jobs.
"The typical
American now has at least 116 toxic chemicals in their cells.
This is up from only 27 detected in 2001. Not only are the
numbers increasing, the amounts of each are also increasing."
Center for Disease Control (CDC)
1,460 metric TONS (two
million nine hundred twenty pounds) of airborne toxins travel
the jetstream around the globe. (This is the 'fresh" air that we
so love to breathe). It falls to earth through gravitational
settling and in the rain, poisoning the soil, the plants and the
waters. Plants draw it into their cellular structures from the
soil and water. Insects, fish, birds, and mammals ingest
it from each of these sources, passing it along up the food
chain from one to the other. Heavy metal toxins are not excreted
from the body through "normal" eliminative functions, so,
without the aid of a chelating agent, they
accumulate until we die.
Mercury is the most poisonous of
all the heavy metals. Among other things, it mutates our DNA,
suppresses the immune system and kills neurons in our brains.
Each year at least 20,000 premature deaths and countless
illnesses are caused by environmental mercury.
The number one source of airborne
mercury is coal-fired power plants. They spew sulfates, nitrates
and mercury into the air. They are being phased out of the U.S.,
BUT THE OUTDATED, HIGHLY POLLUTING POWER PLANTS ARE BEING SOLD
TO CHINA where they continues to pollute the air. Much of the
toxicity comes directly back to the US and Canada in the
airstreams.
Our lungs have the surface area of
a tennis court. We filter 5,000 gallons of air per day through
our lungs. Inhalation is the fastest and most effective way of
inducing substances into our blood stream, which are quickly
carried to our brains.
Currently more than one million
people die each year in "third-world" countries from
environmental toxicity.
Mining is the most polluting of
all industries. The mining operations in Canada have poisoned
and continue to poison the headwaters in the United States.
In 2002, U.S. facilities released
4.7 BILLION pounds of toxins into our air. 72 MILLION pounds of
this was of known carcinogens.
Research from the Canadian Public
Health Agency has reported that, over the past 30 years:
-
Testicular cancer has
increased by 54%
-
Breast cancer has increased by
20%
-
Thyroid cancer has increased
by 221% (Yes, that is really 221%)
-
Lymphoma has increased by 83%
The CDC reported in 2001 that 10%
of women carried more than enough mercury concentrations in
their bodies to cause fetal damage during pregnancy. The sources
of these were contaminated air, food and water. The placenta
does NOT filter out toxins, as was previously assumed. Toxins
from the mother are very effectively transferred into the fetus.
(Pregnancy is thought to be one of the most effective means
of detoxifying a woman, as a disproportionate amount of the
toxins are passed into the fetus.)
Even though breast milk is still
the best food for babies, ALL breast milk now contains toxins
that are harmful to the baby.
The FDA found the extremely
poisonous toxin DDE in over 64% of the food surveyed. DDE is
many times more poisonous than DDT.
Since school children are not
generally fed organic foods, 84% of the foods served to them
contain DDE.
"Environmental toxicity
'trumps' genetics." Dr. Lyn
Vaccines contain a mercury
derivative called Thimerosol. It is a known neurotoxin, known to
cause autism, etc. in children. Combined with the toxic dumping
from the mother to the fetus before birth, and the toxins in
air, food and water after birth, this intentionally-induced dose
is "breaking the systemic backs" of our children, leaving them
autistic, ADD, ADHD, etc. The average 2 year old has received 22
vaccines containing Thimerosol.
From the 1970's to 2002, learning
disabilities "exploded," and autism rates rose from 1 in
2,500 to 1 in 167 children. (Gee, ya' think we
might be doin' sumpthin' wrong?)
Benzene and lead are contained in
petroleum products. Both cause cancer, renal and kidney failure.
70% of newly decorated homes have
unsafe levels of benzene pollutants in the air.
Preserved wood (pressure-treated
wood, railroad ties, etc.) contains very unsafe levels of
arsenic. Arsenic causes lymphoma and many other deadly diseases.
Symptoms of toxicity include:
fatigue, infertility, miscarriages, obesity, memory loss, high
cholesterol, diabetes, etc.
Obviously, "we the people," must
rise up in number and demand that our environment be cleaned up
and kept clean. In the meantime, in order to survive, we must
begin systematically removing the accumulated toxins from our
bodies. THEY WILL NOT COME OUT ON THEIR OWN IN ANY SIGNIFICANT
AMOUNT.
According to Dr. Lyn Hanshew, the
only known highly effective and very safe method of removing
heavy metals from our bodies is activated liquid zeolite. The
patent holder for this product is the Waiora company. They
market it as a nutritional product called "Natural Cellular
Defense." There is much to be said about this product, and the
method under which it is being sold, so that will become article
#4 of this series,
"Activated Liquid Zeolite."
To your perfect health,
Bruce
P. S. A major cause of airborne
and waterborne heavy metal toxicity is volcanic activity.
Coincidentally, the zeolite formation occurs when volcanic ash
falls into salt water. One person noted "Isn't it just like
God to provide us with the solution right along with the
problem."
P. P. S. If you are thinking that
it couldn't be as bad as all this, wander around on the
www.epa.gov and
www.environmentaldefence.ca web sites for a while. In the
meantime, get yourself and your family on the activated liquid
zeolite!

*Chelating agent: A
substance or compound that bonds with other atoms, especially
metals. Activated liquid zeolite is a very effective chelating
agent because it both attracts and captures heavy metals and
other toxic substances.
