Zeolites help eliminate heavy metals and toxins from the body

A new study finds that zeolites will help everyone to eliminate heavy
metals and toxins from their bodies. The potential health benefits are
enormous.

Across the globe, heavy metal toxins and other pollutants are
everywhere in our environment. These pollutants exist in our air,
water, and food supplies, our workplaces, even our homes and
automobiles. The human physiological system has many mechanisms in
place for excreting these contaminants, through sweating,
incorporation into hair and nails, defecation and urination.

However, the ability to excrete and eliminate these environmental
toxins varies by individual as well as the nature of the contaminant.
The buildup of toxins in the brain, muscles, and fatty tissues often
occurs very slowly and can eventually result in clinically significant
levels of heavy metals that result in disease.

Flowers, Lonky, and Deitsch (2009) found activated clinoptilolite
suspension (ACS) increased the urinary excretion of toxic heavy metals
without causing any harm to participants in their study.

Clinoptilolite is a natural zeolite.  A zeolite is a mineral that is
used chiefly as a molecular filter and ion-exchange agent. In hsort,
it acts as an agent to remove heavy metals and toxins from the body.

The researchers found significant increases in the urinary excretion
of aluminum, antimony, arsenic, bismuth, cadmium, lead, mercury,
nickel and tin when ACS was used by participants.  While the amounts
excreted among participants varied, this was not totally unexpected.

Results varied among participants, because of differences in
physiology among individuals and differing levels of compliance with
the instructions, However, all participants had positive results.

Participants took an ACS supplement for either seven or 30 days
resulting in a measurable enhancement of urinary excretion of heavy
metals in subjects. Excretion of the toxic metals continued for 14
days, and in some cases up to 21 and even 30 days.  This suggests that
use of an ACS supplement for a longer time may result in removal of
sequestered toxins from various tissues.

Go to this page to see the video and get the recipe:

How hungry am I?

Dr . Michelle May, M.D. struggled with weight problems most of her life. She has found that diets don't work. Instead people need to make a lifestyle change, which she describes in her book Eat what you love; Love what you eat.

One tool she presents is the Hunger and Fullness Scale. It assesses your hunger and fullness levels before, during and after eating. "It will help you identify hunger cues, observe how different types and amounts of food affect you, and recognize when the urge to eat has been triggered by something other than hunger...."

The Hunger and Fullness Scale ranges from 1 to 10, with a level of 1 representing ravenous, and a level of 10 meaning you're so full that you're in pain and feel sick. The smaller numbers mean your stomach is smaller stomach; the larger numbers mean the stomach is larger.

Level 5, in the middle of the scale, equates to being satisfied and comfortable. At a 5, you cannot feel your stomach at all. It's neither empty nor full; it isn't growling or feeling stretched. This may be how your stomach feels after you've eaten a light breakfast, writes Dr. May. 

Here is a description of the scale:

1 = Ravenous: a high-risk situation where you are too hungry to care what you eat.
2 = Starving
3 = Hungry
4 = Hunger pangs
5 = Satisfied: You are neither hungry nor full, but rather are content and comfortable.
6 = Full
7 = Very full
8 = Uncomfortable
9 = Stuffed
10 = Sick

If you are 5 or above, you know something other than hunger triggered your desire to eat. If you are a 4, you should either wait or eat a small amount. At 2 or 3 you should eat. Dr. May recommends you eat only enough so that you are at a level 5, where you are feeling comfortable. You can get a visual reminder of how much you need to eat by making a fist and then opening your hand. That's about the amount of food it takes to go from a level 2 to 5. If you're at a level 1, you need to exercise caution.  The tendency from a level 1 (a ravenous situation) is to overeat.

Here are some maxims about eating from Dr. May.

- Eating when you are hungry helps signal to your body that food will be available when you need it and it allows your metabolism "to run on high."
- Eating small meals satisfies hunger best.
- It may take 20 to 30 minutes after eating for your body to signal the brain that you are full.

Dr. May's book is available from Amazon.com or www.AmIHungry.com

Scientists have found that showering under a dirty shower heads can deliver a face full of harmful bacteria. Tests revealed nearly a third of devices harbor significant levels of a bug that causes lung disease.
