Interview with Dr. Hank Liers Part 3: Chemical sensitivities and chlorella detoxification

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

I think the cell wall of chlorella is generally considered the thing that just grabs on to almost any toxin in the body, whether it is heavy metals, pesticides, organic chemicals, and they have done tremendous experiments with that in Japan. I think there are more research papers on chlorella than any substance known. They are mostly in other languages. I have seen an explosion just since we have come up with this. They were selling chlorella in these little tablets, and for years and years in little granules. Then the capsules came out.
How does a virus sequester heavy metals? Dr. Liers: You will see this in the research literature more now. The therapies are aimed at knocking out the viruses, and maybe using these growth factors to make the cellular functioning better, maybe changing the cell potential, because cell potentials -- when they start coming down -- make the cell not able to function at the level it is supposed to. You are not getting things in and out right. You are not getting the Kreb's cycle right.

Avoid pesticides, chemicals, solvents, and heavy metals. • Eat organic foods. • Drink purified water. • Maintain good digestion and regular bowel habits. • Avoid alcohol. liver's ability to break down environmental and naturally occurring estrogen, is worthy of consideration. Certain foods and supplements aid in enhancing the body's ability to mount a natural immune response. Optimal liver function involves enhancing the liver's ability to detoxify hormones, excess medicines, and toxins through two main phases, called phase I and phase II detoxification.

They have found that viruses sequestered the heavy metals, and that the viruses were hard to get out of the body. Well, it turns out that RNA is a tremendous anti-viral substance. Dr. Gary Gordon was giving these RNA factors to autistic children and knocking out the viruses and then getting the mercury detox. It is a more complex story. It is not like just going in and grabbing something, because somebody is on the other side saying, "No, I want it, and I am staying here." How do you get them out? It is a bigger picture.

Processed Meat Unsafe For Human Consumption; Cancer Experts Warn of Dietary Dangers

On top of these three chemical additives, processed meats also contain saturated animal fat that is often contaminated with PCBs, heavy metals, pesticide residues and other dangerous substances. You can learn more about dangerous chemicals in the food supply in my book, Grocery Warning, available from Truth Publishing. Or you can download my free Honest Food Guide from www.HonestFoodGuide.org which reveals the true health dangers of numerous chemicals added to processed foods. The Honest Food Guide has now been downloaded by over one million people.

I can tell you from experience that some of this stuff comes from China and is probably contaminated with various heavy metals or scary agricultural toxins. China is the cheapest sources for just about everything in the food and supplement business, but it's also the most highly contaminated source in the world. Sadly, there is no requirement for juice companies to list the country of origin for their juice concentrates. 7. Watch the sugar content of these juices.

Top 20 things that are more dangerous to children than lead paint in Mattel toys

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

Reporting the truth about dangerous chemicals, heavy metals and other threats to children is extremely selective. The public never hears the real truth about what's dangerous -- they only hear what the media want them to think is dangerous! But I've had it with popular media distortions. Here, I'm going to reveal the top 20 things that are more dangerous to children than the lead paint in Mattel toys. Interestingly, most of these are things that parents intentionally give their children (or feed to them!).

The latest U.S. health safety distraction ploy: Blame China!

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
China's food and herbal products are so routinely contaminated with pesticides and heavy metals that high-quality supplement formulators in the United States refuse to buy products from China anymore. But the really clever part in all this is that blaming China prevents people from paying attention to the dangerous ingredients openly allowed in the U.S. food supply by the FDA. Specifically, the FDA currently allows known cancer-causing chemicals to be widely used in both foods and drugs.

How food manufacturers trick consumers with deceptive ingredients lists

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
Ingredients lists don't include contaminants There is no requirement for food ingredients lists to include the names of chemical contaminants, heavy metals, bisphenol-A, PCBs, perchlorate or other toxic substances found in the food. As a result, ingredients lists don't really list what's actually in the food, they only list what the manufacturer wants you to believe is in the food. This is by design, of course. Requirements for listing food ingredients were created by a joint effort between the government and private industry (food corporations).
That's why there is still no requirement to list various chemical contaminants, pesticides, heavy metals and other substances that have a direct and substantial impact on the health of consumers. (For years, food companies fought hard against the listing of trans fatty acids, too, and it was only after a massive public health outcry by consumer health groups that the FDA finally forced food companies to include trans fats on the label.

It means our products contain no mercury, cadmium lead or other toxic chemicals or heavy metals. As far as I know, we are currently the only consumer products company in the United States that has gone to the trouble (and expense) of manufacturing and selling RoHS-certified products. Since these rules are not required in the United States, most retailers pay no attention to them and keep selling products made with mercury and other toxic substances. But because I'm such a proponent of protecting both nature and human health, I insist on sourcing RoHS-certified products wherever possible.

Of course the chlorella with the cell wall is going to pull heavy metals and toxins out. With those growth factors that are in there, you are going to stimulate the regeneration and healing in the local area. It is a little bit expensive now. We use the poultices on bruises, injuries, bites, and with the chlorella added it makes a huge difference. Dr. Bernard Jensen was doing this in the early 1990s. He found that it was a wonderful thing to do. It is food therapy in more ways than you thought.

The Autoimmune Epidemic

Their findings reveal the "body burden" of environmental chemicals and heavy metals carried by the average American. After testing the blood and urine of nine representative Americans from around the country for 210 substances (sample groups are small as these tests are prohibitively expensive), these scientists discovered that each volunteer carried an average of 91 industrial compounds, pollutants, and other chemicals—including PCBs, commonly used insecticides, dioxin, mercury, cadmium, and benzene, to name just a few.

About 70% of the IP6 made by Tsuno Foods is available to chelate (attach) to iron (as well as heavy metals), which are primary growth factors for tumors. IP6 as an extract from rice bran is a far more effective anti-cancer agent than rice bran or bran cereal alone. [Nutrition Cancer 28: 7-13, 1997] The safety record of IP6 is long standing. First, it is a normal dietary component and is found in every living cell of the body. Second, extensive studies have been conducted to confirm its lack of toxicity.

Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You

Stimulants, emotional trauma, repressed emotions, irregular lifestyle, dehydration, nutritional deficiency, overeating, stress reactions, lack of sleep, accumulation of heavy metals (especially from metal fillings) and chemicals, etc. all hinder the body in its effort to remove metabolic waste, toxins and 30 billion dead cells each day. When these accumulate in any part of the body, they naturally lead to a number of progressive responses that include irritation, swelling, hardening, inflammation, ulceration and abnormal growth of cells.
What most people call "healing"' is actually the body's ceaseless, and if necessary, reinforced effort to eliminate metabolic waste, dead cells, chemical toxins, heavy metals, billions of dead bacteria, and other harmful waste materials. To heal is to be whole. Wholeness or health is the spontaneous occurrence of balance, which occurs naturally when the body's removes all the daily-generated waste products and cellular debris and by giving it the nourishment it requires.
Antiperspirants and deodorants are packed with heavy metals and poisonous chemicals. By applying them to your skin they enter the blood and end up accumulating in the liver, kidneys, breast and brain tissue. These products may not be as damaging to the brain and other parts of the body if all other causes of metal accumulation were excluded. The average person absorbs anywhere from 10 to 100 mg of aluminum every day through aluminum cookware, baking soda, antacids, and numerous other sources.
Kidney stones greatly undermine these vital functions, which may further increase the chance of accumulating heavy metals in the body and raise its general level of toxicity. This may lead to infection, high blood pressure, heart disease, brain disorders, cancer and many other imbalances. The following signs indicate the presence of crystals and stones in the kidneys or bladder: • A dark or whitish color under the eyes. • Puffy or swollen eyes, particularly in the morning. • Deep wrinkles under and around the eyes.
There are many other ingredients in the implants (listed below); heavy metals such as aluminum and platinum are used as catalysts to turn the liquid to silicone gel. Silica is used as a filler; it is deadly if it gets into the lungs.

Because MSM helps to detox the body of heavy metals, watch for signs of rash, sweating, or headaches. (Nutritionist Suzanne Copp, M.S., frequently sees acne breakouts on the back, so be prepared!) It may just mean that you are detoxing too quickly. If this happens, reduce the dose and wait one week before increasing it again. Boswellia: 150 mg, three times daily, for two to three months. It has been used effectively in combination with ginger, turmeric, and ash-wagandha and proved beneficial for inflammation and pain associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Because many individuals' sulfur stores are depleted, the ability to detox the body of heavy metals becomes diminished. MSM is helpful as it supplies the sulfur needed to chelate, or bind up, metals so they can be excreted by the body. This is especially true for mercury, which in excess in the body can contribute to or in some cases even cause such conditions as Alzheimer's disease, kidney dysfunction, infertility, multiple sclerosis, thyroid problems, and an impaired immune system.
Fact is, most of the major manufacturers in the United States do their own testing for microbes, heavy metals, and toxins. If you buy any reliable brand from a well-known manufacturer, you should be fine. Any brand I list on my website, www. jonnybowden.com, is a brand almost exclusively sold through health practitioners, and virtually all of them are extremely thorough in their testing. Many even offer a certificate of analysis. You can trust them—I certainly do. vitamin C per week showed a significant decrease in blood pressure for hypertensive patients.

The fat is only heated once when you cook it and does not contain chemical solvents, although you may be getting a good dose of heavy metals like mercury. Then make sure you daily drink a tall glass of barley grass juice as the chlorophyll will help to neutralize these heavy metals. Cholesterol is produced only in animals, so all animal products (not just eggs) contain a certain amount of cholesterol. Anything that has a liver makes cholesterol, including fish, and there is no plant in the world that has a liver. But according to Dr.

The Autoimmune Epidemic

Over the past decade, labs around the globe have proven definitive links between a list of commonly used industrial-age chemicals, heavy metals, and toxins and the development of numerous autoimmune diseases. As hundreds of industrial byproducts interact with the immune cells of our bodies, they are sabotaging an extraordinarily complex and fine-tuned blueprint for healthy cellular communication.

Swordfish and shrimp are known to contain mercury, cadmium, and other heavy metals, so be sure to limit your consumption of these foods for health reasons, if not economic reasons as well. Also, you may benefit from a nutritional trick I follow: swallow a capsule of activated charcoal anytime you eat seafood. The activated charcoal absorbs heavy metals, preventing them from being assimilated into your body during digestion. Salmon and fish Fish products, such as salmon, codfish, whitefish, and other varieties, offer excellent sources of protein and healthy oils.

The Autoimmune Epidemic

Donna Jackson Nakazawa

Investigators linked the cluster to the fact that children growing up in the area were exposed to a high level of heavy metals. Mesita Elementary School was located about one mile east from what had been, during these patients' childhood years, the American Smelting and Refining Company, which processed primarily lead, copper, cadmium, and zinc, along with emitting high levels of sulfuric acid. Many residents had, in fact, grown up referring to their neighborhood as "Smeltertown.
Further investigation found that these MS patients' hair samples showed that they had been exposed to a number of heavy metals. Seven other heavy-metal-based clusters of MS have been investigated and established, in addition to others linked to varied types of toxic waste. One MS cluster now under investigation is in Morrison, Illinois, and its environs.
Each individual's unique combination of genes, gender, hormones, exposure to environmental chemicals and heavy metals, and viral hits determines his or her future. In many patients like LaShekia, it may well be that environmental chemicals first torque the immune system so that it sits just a hair trigger shy of becoming deranged. Suddenly, one last hit occurs; a virus enters the system and an autoimmune reaction is spurred into motion. LaShekia lived in an area with waste sites containing TCE, PCBs, and lead—all known or suspected autogens—her entire life.
