For those TTC!!!

For those of you struggling to or trying to conceive, you may have read in your time that a build up of toxins such as heavy metals, pesticides, xenoestrogens (chemicals which mimic estrogen) and other toxic substances are a major barrier to conception and have the potential to devastate the health of reproductive organs and sperm.
Heavy metals are unfortunately present in our air, water and food supply, as well as many of the personal care products absorbed by our skin on a daily basis. Heavy metals such as mercury are also present in dental fillings. Pesticide residues have been found to be present almost all non-organic foods, and both pesticides and xenoestrogens are present in our drinking water.
So, what can be done about this? In my time researching, I have recently come across this really AMAZING substance, which is known for its chelating properties (ability to bind to and draw out heavy metals and toxins from the body via the urinary tract).
Chelation therapy has been used with great success in drawing out high levels of mercury that are found in children with Autism.
Anyway, amazing results were found in a recent study, where this natural mineral was administered as part of a detoxification regime for prospective mothers. I just want to clarify that I am not affiliated in any way with this product. I am merely trying to put this info out there for the benefit of bellybelly members. I have not taken this substance myself, although I have spoken to people who have (for various conditions such as arthritis, alzheimers, cancer, autism, infertility etc) and their testimonies are staggering to say the least.

Please read below! For anyone wanting to find out more info please send me a private message and I can send you the links to the appropriate info, as I cannot attach the links here. There are also different brands and grades of quality of this mineral on the market - some of which even have chemical cleaning agents added to it (which totally defeats the purpose) so you need to know what form/supplier of the product you can truly trust. A trustworthy brand will have cleaned the mineral with natural vinegar - not humic acid!!

From Dr. Gabriel Cousens
As a natural holistic physician, I, Gabriel Cousens, M.D., M.D.(H) Diplomate of the American Board of Holistic Medicine, Diplomate of Ayurveda have come across a major breakthrough in detoxifying the human body of the carcinogens, heavy metals, viruses, bacteria, fungi, and overall acid conditions that promote and cause disease.
Some 70,000 chemicals are being dumped into our environment, 65,000 of which are potentially hazardous to our health. We live in a virtual sea of pollutants, and carry many of these toxins within us. They can be found even in unborn children. A 2004 study by the Environmental Working Group identified 287 industrial chemicals in babies' umbilical-cord blood, including 180 known to cause cancer and 217 that are toxic to the brain and nervous system.

In my research to develop a detoxification system for prospective mothers, I recently learned about a naturally occurring mineral called zeolite, which has a unique, negatively charged, crystalline structure. Zeolite is formed from the fusion of lava and ocean water, and combines all four elements. I feel that zeolite is an alchemical gift from God. It has been used for more than 800 years in Asia as a remedy for overall health and well-being, and is on the FDA's GRAS list (generally recognized as safe). Zeolite is available commercially in a purified, activated form, in the zeolite product.

The results of research on zeolite are very impressive:
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 Alzheimers, 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.

A pilot study at the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center with 55 people, based on my non-toxic baby protocol for preparing parents to bring forth non-toxic babies, consisted of a one-week green juice fast and detox support program with zeolite in the form of Natural Cellular Defense (NCD) 15 drops, 4X/day. The following very significant results were found. 18 people were tested for depleted uranium (DU), a very serious worldwide radioactive contamination resulting from the use of DU armaments, especially used in Iraq.
Sixteen of the 18 people tested initially had DU in at least the liver, the breast, or the brain, and 13 of the 18 people had started with it in all three organs, the liver, the breast, and the brain. In one week on this protocol, all the people became DU-free except for one person, who still had DU in the liver. Also, thirty-two people were tested for Teflon and Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), the carcinogenic element of teflon. Teflon was found in the livers of 27 people, the breasts of 25 people, and the brains of 28 people. All but two people became teflon-free after one week. Only one person had Teflon remaining in the breast, and one person had Teflon remaining in the brain.
In the same 32 people, initially PFOA was found in the liver of 28 people, the breast of 29 people, and the brain of 28 people. After one week, all people became PFOA-free except for one person having PFOA remaining in the breast and brain. In testing people for a whole set of toxins consisting of 14 to 26 of the common heavy metals, pesticides, and herbicides, the people initially had on average 90 to 95% of the toxins in their liver, breast, and brain, whether they were live-food eaters or not.
The overall percentage of removal of these toxins from these organs was 88%, leaving only 12% of the toxins in their systems overall. This included 91% removal from the liver, 88% removal from the breast, and 87% removal from the brain. In the 55 people tested the heavy metals, pesticides, and herbicide toxins, initially 801 toxins were found in the subjects' livers, 825 toxins in the breasts, 824 toxins in the brain. After the one-week protocol, just 73 toxins were left in the liver, 102 toxins left in the breast, and 111 toxins left in the brain:

Results of Week-Long NCD and Juice Fasting Non-Toxic Baby Protocol
LIVER BREAST BRAIN TOTAL
Toxins Found BEFORE 801 825 824 2450
Toxins Found AFTER 73 103 111 287
Percentage Removed 91% 88% 87% 88%

The four subjects who continued the green juice fasting with NCD for two weeks went down to 0 toxins, a 100% removal rate. These results suggest a powerful synergy of NCD plus a detoxifying green juice fast. In observing thousands of fasters since 1988, fasting alone, although wonderful for enhancing the vital force does not seem to significantly get rid of pesticides, herbicides, and heavy metals after 1 week by itself.

I am proposing a theoretical model for explaining the testimonials of the powerful, across-the-board healing effects of NCD (a purified zeolite) from such health problems as ADD/Hyperactivity, Addiction, Agent Orange Exposure, Arthritis, Autism, Cancer, Cysts and Tumors, Depression, DES Exposure, Diabetes, Fibromyalgia, Flu, Colds, and Respiratory Problems, Gastro-Intestinal Problems, Heavy Metal Poisoning, Hepatitis C, High Blood Pressure, HIV/AIDS, Kidney Stones, Lack of Mental Clarity, Pain, PMS/Menstrual Pain, Silicone Breast Implant Toxicity, Skin Conditions, Spider Bite, Toothache/Gum Disease, Varicose and Spider Veins, Viral and Other Infections, Yeast Infections.
The model is a foundational healing concept. The basic mechanism we can draw from the literature and my present pilot study is that, by removing heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, and DU, as well as through its effect of increasing immune system function, alkalizing the blood, blocking viral replication, and neutralizing free radicals, the NCD removes the blocks which compromise the vital life force. When the vital life force is freed up and activated, the body's natural ability does the healing and relieving of these chronic diseases itself. With the NCD, we have returned to the basic natural healing theory for all chronic diseases. NCD is truly an alchemical gift from the Divine.
Also:
 According to testimonials, zeolite promotes a sense of well-being, clarity, and happiness. It appears to do this as a consequence of eliminating toxins and also, according to preliminary research, by increasing serotonin production. One study suggests that zeolite also helps relieve depression.
 Anecdotal reports suggest that zeolite increases energy, immune function, and general health.
 Zeolite neutralizes the formation of nitrosamines in the stomach. Found in processed meats, nitrosamines are one cause of stomach cancer. Another positive effect on the stomach, according to many anecdotal reports, is relief of acid reflux.
 Testimonials suggest that zeolite captures triggering antigens, which cause allergies, migraines, and asthma, decreasing the rate and severity of these symptoms.
 Zeolite directly absorbs free radicals and thus decreases free radical activity and damage to the body.

This zeolite product is a clear liquid that, taken daily as oral drops, supports us in living healthy, happy, and active lives in an increasingly toxic world.

just another reason why TTC is not that easy

I totally hear you, Counting Days - it is unfair that we have to go to such a great extent to purify our bodies for conception when our great grandmothers and great grandfathers lived in a world when most of these chemical toxins and food additives never existed - and consequently they fell pregnant at the drop of a hat!
The good news is that we can change things with how we choose to spend our money. Buy buying fresh, organic produce, brands that are additive-free and personal care products that are chemical-free, we are saying to the manufacturers "we don't want your cheap, nasty, chemical toxins in our bodies, in our world and especially not in our babies- find a better way!"

Anyone interested in this fabulous sounding product?
