Autism was first identified in 1943 in an obscure medical journal. Since then it has become a frighteningly common affliction, with the Centers for Disease Control reporting recently that autism disorders now affect almost 1 percent of children.

Over recent decades, other development disorders also appear to have proliferated, along with certain cancers in children and adults. Why? No one knows for certain. And despite their financial and human cost, they presumably won’t be discussed much at Thursday’s White House summit on health care.

Yet they constitute a huge national health burden, and suspicions are growing that one culprit may be chemicals in the environment. An article in a forthcoming issue of a peer-reviewed medical journal, Current Opinion in Pediatrics, just posted online, makes this explicit. (Read Full Article)

Barred from using lead in children’s jewelry because of its toxicity, some Chinese manufacturers have been substituting the more dangerous heavy metal cadmium in sparkling charm bracelets and shiny pendants being sold throughout the United States, an Associated Press investigation shows.

New tests by the Washington Toxics Coalition reveal that children spend their first nine months in an environment that exposes them to known toxic chemicals.

Washington Toxics Coalition tested nine pregnant women, from Washington, Oregon, and California, for chemicals including bisphenol A, phthalates, mercury, and “Teflon chemicals.” The first-of-its kind study tested blood and urine from pregnant women during their second trimester of pregnancy and found their bodies contaminated with chemicals found in a wide variety of consumer products.

Effective treatment of chronic illness resulting from the long-term buildup of heavy metals in the body, such as chelation therapy, presents numerous clinical challenges, including undesirable side effects and unpredictable efficacy. Use of a naturally occurring zeolite, clinoptilolite, to remove these toxic substances may offer an efficacious and safe alternative to the traditional approaches. This study was designed to evaluate the ability of activated clinoptilolite suspended in water (ACS) to remove heavy metals from the body through urinary excretion without the undesirable removal of physiologically important electrolytes. The protocol utilized two treatment groups, each consisting of eleven healthy men aged 36 to 70 years. Volunteers were given a commercially available version of the study substance for seven days (Group 1) and 30 days (Group 2) and urine samples were collected at specified time points in the study. Changes in urinary concentration of the heavy metals were measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and compared to the baseline. Also, serum samples were obtained from five individuals in each group and serum electrolytes were measured prior to and after taking the product. Participants in both groups had increased concentrations of heavy metals in the urine with the peak excretion at around day 4. No clinically significant alterations in serum electrolyte levels were seen at either seven or 30 days on ACS. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that the daily use of an activated clinoptilolite suspension represents a potentially safe and effective way to remove toxic heavy metals from the body through increased urinary excretion without removing clinically detrimental amounts of vital electrolytes.

Mercury exposure in the United States increases with age, then starts tapering off when people turn 50, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found in a study released today.

The CDC study is the first to measure mercury exposure in a wider U.S. population, following research that focused on young children and women in their childbearing years. People are often exposed to mercury through contaminated seafood, and a recent U.S. EPA survey found that almost half of U.S. freshwater fish carry mercury in excess of federal safe levels for human consumption.

The CDC data are part of a project assessing chemicals in people’s bodies. The agency has added 75 contaminants to its database, bringing the total to 212 chemicals.

The survey analyzed blood, serum and urine samples from 2,500 people as a part of the CDC’s National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which is released every two years. (Read Full Article)

As the world focuses on the impact of climate change, little attention is being paid to yet another environmental bane: increasing contamination of air, water and soil.

The combined effects of this environmental scourge have contributed to global epidemics of cancers, lung and other degenerative diseases, and costing health systems across the world millions of dollars, experts say.

Forty-two years after she was exposed to asbestos in the Pambula beach hamlet, 470 kilometres south of Sydney, Jeanette Hennessy Wright, 51, was diagnosed with mesothelioma in July 2008.

“Asbestos was used in the construction of my neighbour’s house while I helped my parents make additions to our own home with fibro sheets that contained asbestos too,” explains Wright.

Two years ago, she began to “feel breathlessness while walking uphill and couldn’t keep up with friends,” she says. After X-rays, a needle biopsy followed by a surgical biopsy, I was diagnosed with mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer associated with breathing in asbestos dust and fibres. Being afflicted with the disease is seen as an immediate death sentence, as victims die within 12 to 24 months. (Read Full Article)

Because I had been involved with a project for clinoptilolite, I decided to see what, if any, benefits could happen so started using the liquid zeolite in December. Within 4 days, I no longer had the horrible taste, and the pain subsided so that I could open my mouth. When I told my doctor what I had done, he said to continue using it for 4 months and to let him know how things were going. Not only did I completely heal, I experienced an incredible side effect. I had no sinus infections that winter!! I have continued using the product that evolved into Natural Cellular Defense and will never stop…additional side effects are that I do not use any allergy medication which I had been taking since I was 2 weeks old. I am now 60, don’t get sick or if I start to feel like something is starting I increase my NCD to the detox dose. Simply astounding!”

The use of prescribed anti depressants was seen to alter the bodies ability to respond to our normal chiropractic treatment. I desired more from my practice. I began to explore the possibility of using natural products, researching each one through seminars and the internet. I worked to be that doctor who could inform my patients the real from the unreal.

2 years ago, I was in a horrible motorcycle accident. I almost died. The better part of a year was spent rolling around in my wheelchair. I needed to find something to keep me active in the world of healthcare, but more importantly I needed to find something to replace my income.
I was introduced to NCD. At first I was skeptical as any person could be. I needed to see the proof. I flew to Florida to meet people who were on the product. I was amazed at the results I heard. Once back in Fargo, ND. I shared it with everyone. My goal was to share the excitement, and the results.

In the short 18 months, I have introduced people with varied testimonials, including improved quality of life for those with cancer, decreased autistic symptoms, as well as decreased asthma and allergies. My dad was diagnosed with lymphoma in the fall of 08. Using NCD, he was given a clear bill of health in 60 days. No other medical treatment was used. This was verified by his oncologist through the use of blood work and bone scans/biopsies. It was an eyeopener for all of us.

I believe that based upon the environment we live in, everyone should be on this product.

The antiviral properties have been explored as well. My parents/children have been able to steer clear of catching the flu despite being in close contact with others who have come down with it. Other friends have noticed that if they get sick, they get over it quite quickly.”
