Zeolite- Nature's hidden treasure

Conventional medicine is in the early stages of realizing the correlation between toxins and disease. You are going to learn about that correlation today. It is my main focus to bring this information into public view. People won't know unless we tell them.


Every year, 10.9 million people across the globe are diagnosed with cancer, and 6.7 million die of the disease. In Fact, in any given year, cancer is responsible for 12 percent of all global deaths. The U.S. ranks in the top three countries with the highest rates of cancer in both men and women.

But why?

You're surrounded

In 1989, the U.S. produced its one millionth man made chemical. While many of these chemicals have made our lives more enjoyable, most are finding their way into our bodies and wreaking havoc. Of the 70,000 chemicals being used commercially in the U.S., the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers 65,000 of them to be potentially – if not definitely – hazardous to your health. And that's not all. More than 6,000 new chemicals are being tested in the U.S. every week!

Can you guess where these carcinogens are ending up? That's right, in the air you breathe, the water you drink, and in the food you eat. They are everywhere.

The Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, in collaboration with the Environmental Working Group, tested the blood and urine of nine volunteers. They found a total of 167 industrial compounds in the volunteers, with an average of 91 chemicals per person.

Of these 167 compounds, 76 are known to cause cancer in humans, 94 are toxic to the brain and nervous system, 82 affect lungs and breathing, 86 affect your hormones and 79 cause birth defects and/or abnormal development.

It's not just adults that are affected. According to a benchmark study conducted by the Environmental Working Group, unborn babies may be negatively affected the most. Researchers tested the umbilical cord blood of ten children (the samples were collected by the Red Cross after the cord had been cut). They found a total of 287 industrial chemicals and pollutants in each cord, with an average 200 per cord. And of the 287 chemicals, 180 are known to cause cancer, 217 are toxic to the brain and nervous system, and 208 cause birth defects in animals. We are all overdosing on harmful chemicals right from birth.

Heavy metal Madness.

Mercury toxicity is a huge and alarming health problem that currently affects millions of Americans. In fact, conservative estimates show that as much as 25 percent of Americans suffer to some degree from heavy-metal poisoning from the accumulation of years of exposure.

One of the biggest challenges with mercury poisoning is the fact that it can contribute to and masquerade many different health issues, such as PMS, mood swings, loss of energy, and depression. Early symptoms of excess mercury include forgetfulness/poor concentration, bleeding gums, moodiness, constipation and/or diarrhea, and chronic or frequent headaches.

Numerous studies have shown that mercury poisoning can contribute to more severe health conditions, including heart disease, Alzheimer's, and even cancer.

The two most common causes of mercury toxicity are dental fillings (amalgams) and vaccinations. In America alone, about 140 million people have dental amalgams, which contain up to 50 percent mercury.

Here is just a partial list of common sub-clinical symptoms of toxicity: fatigue, lethargy, depression, headaches, allergies, chronic infection, frequent colds, nervousness, sudden anger, sensitivity to perfume/odors, memory loss, and joint pains. Because so many of these symptoms could stem from a multitude of other causes, often toxicity is not readily suspected.

As women we have a greater responsibility for our health and the health of our children. We have the wombs that cradle our future generations and so we must do our best to protect it.

There is a solution! Now that you have just a small portion of the facts, it's time to do something about it. After all, it's your health and your life. Make it last!

Volcanic mineral defends the health of your cells.

One hundred million years ago, volcanoes rose from the sea, dividing continents, creating mountains and forming much of the land as we know it. As these volcanoes erupted, molten lava and thick ash poured into the sea. The combination of thick ash and the salt from the sea caused a chemical reaction, and over thousands of years, precious minerals like zeolites began to form in the hardened lava.

What's a zeolite & how does it work?

For centuries, the powdered forms of specific zeolites have been used as traditional remedies throughout Asia to promote overall health and well being. The story of the "volcanic rocks" has been passed down from generation-to-generation as more and more people have experienced its life-changing benefits.

Zeolites are natural volcanic minerals with an unique, complex crystalline structure. It's honeycomb framework of cavities and channels (like cages) works at the cellular level trapping, heavy metals and toxins. In fact, because it is one of the few negatively charged minerals in nature, zeolites act as magnets drawing toxins to it, capturing them in its cage and removing them from the body.

A pH powerhouse.

Zeolites can also play a crucial role in supporting your pH-balancing system. Your pH status is so critical because your body depends on remaining slightly alkaline for your very survival. All parts of your system work together, along with the lungs and the kidneys, to prevent the body from becoming either overly acidic or overly alkaline.

There are many factors that can affect the pH balance of your body. Unfortunately everything from the foods you eat to the pollutants you encounter, even stress produces acidic chemicals.

Once again, zeolites come to the rescue. By trapping excess protons in the digestive tract, zeolites can help to lower your risk of acid reflux.

How this zeolite was brought to the market
About 40 years ago, a promise was made. A chemist in a small pharmaceutical company in Ohio promised the love of his life, as she was dying of breast cancer, that he would find something to help people. From then on, he tirelessly searched for what would become probably the most important supplement you will ever take.

Finally, he heard about powdered zeolites and their use as traditional remedies. He was intrigued and researched it for 37 years. During his time of research he discovered that it provided amazing results. He continued researching this amazing mineral and applied for and was granted a patent by the U.S. government.

Liquid Zeolite Activation – What Does It Mean?

I've been troubled by the sheer numbers of new zeolite products cropping up on the market. Don't get me wrong! I think a little competition is healty. What troubles me is that these companies are placing an inferior product on the market because they do not understand, or they do not care, about how to properly process zeolite!

 

Is Zeolite Poisonous?

No the zeolite molecules are not poisonous. HOWEVER, zeolites are like magnets that attract heavy metals like mercury, lead and cadmium. Even radioactive elements like strontium are attracted to the zeolite cage. OF COURSE  you know this already. That's why you are taking it! BUT REMEMBER THAT ZEOLITE IS A MINERAL THAT IS MINED FROM THE GROUND. In the ground, it is assaulted with run off, and ground water, air pollution blows across it. Essentially it is exposed to everything you and I are exposed to. The very things you are trying to get out of your body are also deep with in the zeolite cage.

Zeolites are Filled with Heavy Metals!

It is ridiculous to think that there are some unethical (or just irresponsible) companies out there that take their zeolite, mix it with some fancy sounding "stuff" and bottle it with out cleaning it! Maybe we should all just head off to the mine with our spoons??

There is one company that cleans their zeolite. The company that produces The Original Liquid Zeolite had developed a process that took them YEARS to perfect. And it's a secret. THAT is why other companies give you zeolites that haven't been cleaned. You see, the bonds between the zeolite and the poisons are pretty strong. In fact, they are so strong that it takes very high temperatures and a mild cleansing solution to shake the bonds loose. Read about the zeolite cleaning process in this article.

Once the cages are completely cleaned out they are empty, and READY TO PICK UP MORE. This is why they are called ACTIVATED. They are standing at attention ready for duty in YOUR body!

The truth is, other companies would rather sell you a bottle all fancied up with things like humic acid and fulvic acid and fancy energized water so they can mask the fact that their zeolite isn`t pure.

Zeolite Companies Say: 

Here are some of the things other companies say about the cleansing process, and the truth behind their claims.

1. "Hydrochloric acid and high heat destroy a zeolite structure (as zeolite was FORMED by heat in the first place when volcanic ash combined with alkaline sea water).  Both of these structure-destroying processes are used in making another liquid zeolite (which is much more expensive and multi-level-marketed), in a effort to "clean the cages".  When you destroy the structure, you create a pool of elements that originally made up the structure.  Even if heavy metals were safe in the cage walls before the process, they are now loose and can be absorbed by the body.  WE DO NOT USE HYDROCHLORIC ACID OR HEAT TO MAKE OUR LIQUID ZEOLITE.  We use the cleanest, safest zeolite ore, in the first place, and use a natural approach to liquefying the zeolite.  No harsh chemical reagents and zeolite-damaging heat-treatment processes are used!  By liquefying zeolite with humic/fulvic, these amazing substances also provide numerous benefits on their own   By further adding structured water and frequency enhancement, we feel our non Rx detoxifying and re-mineralizing supplement (proudly made in the USA) is an amazing product." (from Liquid Zeolite Company, Inc)  

   First a mineral that is formed from volcanic eruptions will not be harmed by a bit of heat. Secondly, the whole idea is to shake loose the toxins and get rid of them. These poor folks just admitted that their product has heavy metals in them that they don't clean out. Third, there is no such thing as a "cleanest, safest zeolite ore". Zeolite isn't an ore, and it comes from the ground and is exposed to everything we are (see above). Finally they say they "liquefy zeolite with humic/fulvic acid". Zeolite is a mineral. It can NOT be liquefied. Humic/fulvic acids are ACIDIC fillers that allow them to put less or no zeolite in their bottles. (The good news is if there is MORE filler there will be LESS heavy metals because there is LESS zeolite!! They use bright pink colors (pretty!) and practically shout their desperate plea to a vulnerable audience.( I think when you have to yell in pink you really must be losing customers!)  :-) 

2. Zeolite Enhanced Now With DHQ- Robert (not a medical professional) Sopias from "11 natural therapies to conquer cancer" (cancer-fighting-strategies.com). Zeolite Enhanced is a frequency enhanced liquid zeolite, that has been, ever since it was developed, the most potent liquid zeolite supplement available. And much better than any powder or capsule. Bar none. Not because it is specially cleaned or activated, as one major brand touts. That cleaning doesn't help the zeolite get into cancer cells. Not because it has humic or fulvic acid as other brands tout, though it does indeed contain humic acid. Humic acid or fulvic acid both enhance absorption, but don't help zeolite get into cancerous cells. And getting the zeolite into the cancer cells is what you want. That's where zeolite needs to get to, to kill the cancer cell. What sets Zeolite Enhanced above all other zeolites, making its most recent version about 400% more effective at dealing with cancer, is that it has been energized or imbued with special vibrational frequencies 8 or 9 different ways that have three anti-cancer activities, all equally important.

   Once again we see that the Zeolite Enhanced- Now With DHQ is not cleaned. This means it is full of heavy metals and toxins. Once again we see that a manufacturer adds fillers to the zeolite. The REASON they need to add things like DHQ to try to make the zeolite product seem more potent is that a full zeolite cage can not do it's job in your body. Finally, zeolite DOES NOT kill cancer cells!!!!  Neither do vibrational frequencies. Fancy marketing talk can send you to your death!

3. The deposit of ZEOLITE we use is from the purest deposits available. Any residual toxins that may have been present in the Zeolite are removed by our Proprietary Glacial water process, which is highly effective and does not use a heat treatment or acid process. This produces the best quality ORME ZEOLITE liquid available. (from Ambaya Gold)

   Glacial Water Process- that's a fancy way of saying they haven't figured out how to break the very strong bond between zeolite and toxin, and clean the cages.  

Let me take a moment to clear up some of the things other websites are saying about the Original Liquid Zeolite cleaning process. 

First, this is what zeolite looks like from the mine, and then before and after cleaning. You can even see the difference in the color between the raw zeolite and the clean processed zeolite. If you were to take some of that processed zeolite and put it under a microscope you would see it is like tiny grains of sand, or diamond dust. The zeolite crystals take hundreds of thousands of years to form under pressure and extreme conditions. A little ice water is surely not enough to shake loose the toxins held deep within these grains. 

Zeolite Clinoptilolite

We use a proprietary activating process which involves heat, and a mild acidic bath.  Heat doesn't harm zeolite. In fact it was indeed formed from a volcanic eruption. Also keep in mind that VINEGAR is also a mild acid. it is then rinsed pure and crystal clean and sent to you in pristine form.

Does it REALLY matter what is used to clean the zeolite? Surely all that really matters is that when it reaches you, all that is in your bottle is pure, cleean zeolite suspended in water.

NO CHEAP FILLERS

NO FANCY ELECTRIC WATER

NO INGREDIENTS WITH IMPORTANT SOUNDING NAMES

NO ROTTING HUMIC OR FULVIC ACIDS

ZEOLITE AND WATER

IF YOUR LABEL DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE ONE BELOW, you are a victim of slick marketing tactics, and are likely consuming a zeolite that is not clean. Nothing like a little DHQ to drown out the taste of heavy metals!

Zeolite Detox

"  90% of all medical conditions are attributable to toxins, chemicals and mineral and trace mineral deficiency" Linus Pauling – winner of 2 Nobel Prizes 

Removing Heavy Metals and Toxins From Our Bodies Has Been a Challenge Until Now…

Heavy Metals from fillings, fish and other sources including the very air you breathe could be draining your energy right now!

FACT: We live on a toxic planet with over 75,000 new chemicals introduced in the last 60 years.

FACT: Less than 7% of these have been tested for their effect on us.

Zeolite Liquid for Chelation (heavy metal detox)

Extremely safe and non-toxic: Our zeolite is completely all natural and 100% non-toxic. It is totally eliminated from the body after 5 to 7 hours. Liquid zeolite has been safely used by pregnant women, nursing mothers and small children.

Removes heavy metals: Liquid zeolite has the perfect molecular structure for capturing and removing heavy metals from the body, including mercury, cadmium, lead, arsenic, aluminum, tin, and excess iron. It also removes radioactive metals like cesium and Strontium-90. The process begins immediately. Continued use protects the body from re-accumulation toxicity.*

100% Safe Oral Chelation: Traditional chelating agents have built in limitations when it comes to safely removing mercury, lead, cadmium and arsenic. One drawback is that agents such as endrate (EDTA) have a high affinity for essential minerals such as calcium, and remove them with the heavy metals.. A second issue is the phenomenon known as “pull-and-drop”, where a chelation agent pulls out a toxin ftom the tissues, but then drops the toxin into the bloodstream. All natural zeolite is free from both of these risks.*

Removes pesticides, herbicides and dioxins: Although liquid zeolite is unable to remove these directly due to their negative or neutral charge, by reducing the toxic load to the liver, liver-induced glucuronidation, their main means of removal, is increased. As these chemicals are prime candidates for triggering cancer and disrupting hormone balance even in low levels, it is very important that they are removed from the body as quickly as possible.*

Helps buffer body pH to a healthy alkalinity: A slightly alkaline body pH (7.35 – 7.45) is essential for good health and optimal immune function. Liquid zeolite attracts and then buffers excess protons which cause acidity and in this way can help many conditions including acid reflux, Candida, and inflammation such as arthritis.*

Reduces viral load: And once the heavy metal concentrations have been reduced, the zeolite latches on to viral pieces or components. Because viruses replicate by first manufacturing viral components and then assembling them into a complete virus, liquid zeolite, in essence, removes parts from the assembly line and blocks viral replication.*

Acts as a powerful antioxidant: The cage-like structure of liquid zeolite also traps free radical molecules, making it an effective antioxidant. This does not mean that liquid zeolite is a substitute for vital antioxidants found in organic whole foods.*

Reduces allergens: Liquid zeolite captures some of the allergens and antigens that trigger allergies, migraines, and asthma, and helps to reduce symptoms.*

Increases immune system function: Liquid zeolite does not stimulate the immune system, but allows it to function optimally by removing toxins, viruses, yeasts, bacteria and fungi which can depress immune function and interfere with hormones. Many people report feeling increased energy, clarity and vitality.*

Helps prevent premature ageing: Many people age prematurely due to a build-up of toxins which interferes with optimal metabolic function and cellular repair. By using liquid zeolite to remove this toxic overload, the body's normal repair and regeneration mechanisms are free to work efficiently.*

What is a Zeolite?

Zeolites belong to a family of naturally occurring volcanic minerals with unique physical and chemical characteristics. There are over forty-eight varieties of natural zeolite minerals with similar structures and molecular makeup, each with its own particular attributes – and there are over a hundred synthetic varieties (made in the lab)

Natural Zeolite Structure

Generally speaking, natural zeolites are hydrated aluminosilicates. They consist of an open, three-dimensional cage-like structure and a vast network of open channels extending throughout. Loosely bound, positively charged atoms called cations, are attached at the junctures of the negatively charged aluminosilicate lattice structure. The aluminosilicate framework provides exceptional strength and stability to the lattice structure.

The channels, typically 0.3 to 0.7 nanometers in diameter (3 to 7 angstroms, slightly larger than a water molecule), selectively screen molecules according to size and exchangeable cations. Molecules too large to pass through the entry channel are excluded, thus giving rise to the term “molecular sieve”.

Zeolites have a rigid, three-dimensional crystalline structure (similar to honeycomb) consisting of a network of interconnected tunnels and cages. Zeolites in general have high specific surface areas and their rigid framework limits shrinking and swelling.

Summary: Honey comb structure, negatively charged, small channels attract smaller molecules,

Cation Exchange

Perhaps the most commercially valuable and dynamic property of zeolite is its cation exchange capacity (CEC). Cation exchange occurs when two or more positively charged compounds or elements exchange places on a negatively charged host. The most common exchangeable cations found in natural zeolite molecules are sodium, calcium, potassium, and magnesium, many of which are desirable in numerous biological and industrial processes.

The ability to release beneficial elements while capturing and binding other, often less desirable, materials makes zeolite an ideal media for the selective adsorbtion of certain elements and compounds from soil, water and air and body.
