ARE YOUR KIDS DROWNING IN TOXIC SOUP?

It's like a science fiction movie.   They're everywhere.   It's in the air, the water, even the food we eat.   No one is immune.   We're talking about toxins and they are affecting your children.   A July 2005 paper released by the environmental working group (www.ewg.org) entitled Body Burden-The Pollution in Newborn s states: “ Not long ago scientists thought that the placenta shielded cord blood and the developing baby from most chemicals and pollutants in the environment.   But now we know that at this critical time when organs and vessels, membranes and systems are knotted together from single cells to finish, form in a span of weeks.   The umbilical cord carries not only the building blocks of life, but also a steady stream of industrial chemicals and pesticides that cross the placenta as readily as residues from cigarettes and alcohol.”

In a study conducted in part by the Environmental Working Group (EWI), researches at two major laboratories tested the cord blood of 10 babies born in August and September of 2004.   Tests revealed over 287 chemicals in the group with an average of 200 per child.   Of the 287 chemicals found, 180 were known to cause cancer, 217 were toxic to the brain and nervous system and 208 caused birth defects or abnormal development in animals.

It comes as no surprise to learn that chemical exposure in the womb or during infancy is dramatically more harmful than exposure later in life.   According to Dr. Rashid O. Buttar, D.O. of Cornelius, N.C., this is true, in part, because the rapidly developing organs and systems do not yet have the capability to detoxify and excrete industrial chemicals.   Moreover, the blood brain barrier of the developing infant allows greater chemical exposure to the brain.

A most alarming part of the EWG study was the finding that mercury was present in every umbilical cord examined.   The EWG report found that “Methyl mercury exposure in the womb caused measurable decline in brain function in children.”   Mercury is well-documented to be associated with major nervous system and brain disorders including Autism, ALS, Alzheimer's disease, Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson's disease.

As parents, nothing is more important to us than our children and global toxicity is undeniable.   Just when you thought your new home was a safe place in which to raise your children, think again.   That lovely new carpet may be out-gassing volatile organic compounds and that great play area you designed for your kids, replete with swing and slide may have been made from wood treated with arsenic.   Dr. Lyn Hanshaw, a well-known expert in environmental toxicology, relates one such sad story.   It's the sorry of two cute brothers, one six and one eight from Seattle area.   One year they were both bright and exceptional students in school.   The next, both boys began exhibiting disruptive behavior in class, bullying other children, defying teachers and refusing to complete homework." When I interviewed the parents,"   Dr. Lyn said, “I asked if he children had been exposed to any heavy metals, and I tried to help the parents reconstruct any events that might have triggered the new disruptive behavior - any new household additions or medications?”  

Suddenly the father grew pale and tears streamed down his eyes.   “Oh my God,” he said, “I've poisoned my boys.”  

What had happened was the father built a “state of the art” play area for the boys made from treated timbers.   Around the play area he made an organic garden for the family.   The treated beams he had used contained the heavy metal arsenic.   The water used to grow the vegetables was contaminated by arsenic run-off.   As the boys played around the timbers and ate the poisoned food, their young immune systems were not strong enough to protect them and the result was behavior that mimicked ADD or ADHD.   A doctor less educated on the dangers of environmental toxicity might have recommended Ritalin or some other psychotropic drug.

What parent would think that the colorful magic markers they purchased for their children contained Xylene, a toxin that could cause their child to experience headaches, dizziness, confusion and even breathing problems.   And how many parents try to create a germ-free kitchen by using antibacterial, germ killing, sterilizing sprays, thereby not only creating a synthetic chemical hazard, but also increasing the potency of the germs themselves and making them less resistant to eradication.   Or who would think that the colorful trinket you bought your child for a reward actually contained lead?

A recent story in the Tampa Tribune stated, “One in 3 children could sit still for the 3 hours necessary to administer the chelating agent.   And the agent itself pulled out the good minerals along with the toxic metals, thereby creating nutritional deficiencies.

Happily, there may be a solution for parents who want to do something to get the heavy metals out of their kid's and themselves.   It is called “Activated Liquid Zeolite” or NCD, which stands for Natural Cellular Defense.   This completely natural, negatively charged mineral has a unique cage-like molecular structure that looks somewhat like a honeycomb.   These cages trap positive elements, including viruses, bacteria, cancer cells and toxic heavy metals such as mercury, lead and arsenic.   These ‘bad guys” are then excreted from the body via the kidneys and bowels.   Perhaps the most exciting thing that zeolites do is that they systemically alkalinize the body and it is an accepted scientific fact that viruses, bacteria and cancers cannot live in an alkaline environment.

Zeolites have been on the earth for thousands of years and are derived from a combination of volcanic ash and sea salt.   There are many different kinds of zeolites and zeolites are known for their ability to attract toxins into their cages.   NCD is made from zeolite cinoptilolite.   It has a unique patent that makes it safe and incredibly effective in chelating heavy metals from humans.   It is completely safe for all ages from infants to the elderly and remains in the body 4-5 hours where it attracts toxins and ushers them out of the body so that the immune system can enable the body to heal itself.   It is not only safe but is also highly recommended for pregnant and lactating women. NCD has been given GRAS (generally regarded as safe) status by the FDA.

NCD also works topically with many users reporting that poison ivy; spider bites, bee stings, viral warts and skin rashes resulting from exposure to polyvinyl chloride (the petrochemical that rafts are made of) heal rapidly after topical application of NCC.

But - Buyer Beware!   Not all zeolites are created equal when it comes to human consumption.   For example, asbestos is a zeolite that is known to cause cancer.   Powered zeolites have been used for many years to clean up toxic wastes, the most memorable being the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl, Russia where tons of powdered zeolites were used in clean up of the nuclear reactor site.   NCE is a liquid.    It is tasteless and easy to take.   Unlike some other zeolite products that claim to use clinoptilolite, NCD is safe because a unique proprietary process uses intense heat to “clean the cages”.   NCD can be absorbed by the body thanks to a patented micronization process.
