Zeolite for Detoxification of Heavy Metals

Earlier this week I came upon an article about Zeolite that really piqued my interest. I have been reading the book Hundred Year Lie and it is quite fascinating and alarming at the same time because it makes me realize how toxic our environment has become.

So I found a source for Natural Cellular Defense or Zeolite and decided to also become a distributor at the same time for the Waiora product line. That link goes to my own Waiora store front. I really liked their setup and I can get the Natural Cellular Defense at a little bit of a discount by becoming a distributor and I think the products they have are of good quality.

For example they have capsules that are gelatin free. Gelatin is made from some nasty stuff and I really wanted to avoid whenever possible. I have seen articles that suggest mad cow disease could be passed through gelatin derived from animal products. So I try to get tablets or vegetable gelatin vs regular gelatin capsules for my supplements when I can.

So what exactly is Zeolite? Here is a summary from Dr Gabriel Cousens of what it can do:

  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, shown in a study of miners at Duke University. 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.
