NATURAL CELLULAR DEFENSE & ZEOLITE...Is it the next big thing in nutritional therapies for cancer and chronic disease?
You may not believe what you're about to read. Early indications are that this could be a significant
breakthrough in nutritional medicine,
cancer treatments and heavy metals detoxification. If early reports are to be believed, it far surpasses even the most miraculous cancer
drugs from the world of
conventional medicine, as you'll see below. It could also be nothing special at all, some critics say, and we'll
explore that side of this story as well.
Read this article
carefully, and remember that as the author of this article, I am in no way financially involved in this company or
its
products. My level of interest in this product is due solely to its apparent potential for ending suffering, not from any financial reward
on my part -- because, again, I have absolutely no financial ties to this product or its manufacturer.
What is this product? Let
me put this into perspective for you. Recently, the conventional medical community went positively nuts over
the latest anti-cancer drug, Herceptin. This drug, which was clinically shown to reduce the rate of recurring breast cancer by 43%, has
been deemed a "cure for cancer" by physicians and oncologists who live in the realm of pharmaceuticals.
This is the most amazing drug
they've ever seen -- 43% reduction -- and
they're calling for it to be widely prescribed, even to those women who don't have breast cancer.
Here's a question for you: what if there were a non-prescription substance, made from natural ingredients, which had been correlated
with cancer remissions in 78% of stage 4 cancer patients
in a preliminary trial? (This was a small-scale prelim trial, so don't draw erroneous
conclusions based on this single study...)
If you know anything about
cancer, you're probably already
thinking this can't be true. It's simply too good to be true. But
actually, I'm not
done explaining it yet...
What if this substance was
virtually
tasteless, odorless and easily consumed in water? That way, cancer
patients (who have a very difficult time handling anything
that
tastes funny) could stomach it?
What if this substance also
functioned
as a potent detoxification supplement that binds with heavy metals,
PCBs, pesticides and other cancer-causing chemicals and pulls
them
right out of the body?
What if it could bind with
nitrosamines
in the digestive tract, protecting people from the cancer-causing
effects of processed mea
href="http://www.naturalnews.com/processed_meat.html">t
preservatives?
What if this were backed by an approved U.S. patent, supported by
convincing scientific research, and already on the GRAS
(Generally Recognized As Safe) list for food ingredients?
And what if it were available right now, as a new breakthrough in
nutritional medicine, that's shipping to customers as we speak?
Natural Cellular Defense
Cellular Defense
(NCD), and it's based on research
conducted by reputable (and
pioneering) scientists from the world of -- believe it or not --
pharmaceutical medicine.
There's a lot of excitement
(some say it's just hype) over NCD
right now, especially online. Critics, however, point out that
NCD
is
not safety approved by the FDA for any specific disease. Then again,
neither is zinc, pomegranates or green tea,
and we all know
those are proven disease fighters. Besides, FDA safety
approval doesn't mean much to anybody who knows how the FDA
really
operates, since the agency routinely approves deadly drugs like Vioxx
that have killed hundreds of thousands of Americans already
(and
continue to do so each year). Recently, too, an FDA safety panel gave
near-unanimous approval to a diabetes drug that doubled
the risk of
heart attacks and strokes -- another Vioxx disaster just waiting to
happen. But that's a different article.
They relevant question here
is this: is NCD safe? And is it
really a breakthrough supplement that could save lives and help prevent
cancer
and other degenerative diseases?
Let's take a closer look at
the function claims emerging from
the research on this substance conducted by Rik Deitsch (background
info
on Rik provided later in this article). According to his research
document, which you can download and read yourself (see "learn
more,"
below), NCD exhibits the following actions:
1. Reduces cancer risk.
Although only one small human trial has been conducted, the results
were intriguing: 78% full remission for
stage 4 cancer patients (with
various types of cancer). The study was an open-label trial conducted
by the researchers at LifeLink
Pharmaceuticals in Ohio. Although one
small study is not grounds for leaping to solid conclusions about
cancer, this result is promising
enough to warrant additional
investigation. Any anti-cancer effect is probably due to NCD's ability
to induce tumor suppressor genes
that cause the body to not only halt the growth of tumor cells, but
actually destroy such tumors. The technical explanation on this reads:
Finely ground natural zeolite powder has also been shown to
induce
activation of p21WAF1/CIP1. As a universal inhibitor of
cyclin-dependent kinases and one of the target genes of the tumor
suppresser p53, p21WAF1/CIP1 can act as a tumor suppresser
through its
ability to control cell cycle progression. Activation of p21WAF1/CIP1
may halt the growth of tumors by directly
suppressing growth signals.
However, tissue culture experiments demonstrated that activated zeolite
particles inhibit protein
kinase B/akt, another kinase involved in
antiapoptotic processes and cancer promotion. This happens only when
growth of
cells in tissue cultures is stimulated by the addition of
growth factors. Zeolite particles might adsorb growth factors or
prevent
interaction of protein kinase B with membranes, where it is
phosphorylated by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. It has
recently
been
shown that inactivation of protein kinase B by, for example, the novel
tumor suppressor molecule PTEN also results in
induction of the tumor
suppressor-CDK inhibitor p27KIP1.
2. Acts as an antioxidant. Thus, it counters free
radicals and helps the body defend itself against free radical / DNA
damage.
3. Traps and nullifies nitrosamines in the digestive tract.
This is of monumental importance. If you've read much on this site, you
already know I've been sounding alarm bells about sodium nitrite and
nitrosamines found in processed meats.
(I've covered the issue
in depth in my book Grocery Warning.) These
nitrosamines are potent cancer-causing agents that appear responsible
for the dramatic
increase in cancer risk that follows the consumption
of processed meat products (bacon, sausage, pepperoni, etc.) Pancreatic
cancer rates
shoot up 68%, and colon cancer rates are similarly heightened. Leukemia
and brain cancers are also strongly correlated with processed
meats consumption.
Additionally, we've also learned just recently that nitrosamines are a
causative factor in type-II diabetes. Yet consumers are eating
nitrosamines almost every day in their sandwich meats, pizzas, canned
soups and other manufactured food products. NCD captures
and isolates
those nitrosamine compounds from the body, preventing them from
reacting with the body's biochemistry.
This single effect
of this product could, in my estimation, potentially
save the lives of millions of children and adults every year, all
around the world. More
detailed studies need to be conducted, of
course, to determine the precise protective effect, but the initial
information is very intriguing.
4. Chelates and removes heavy metals from the body.
This is substantial. It is known to remove mercury, cadmium,
and lead, all of
which are strongly correlated with various
neurological disorders such as autism, Alzheimer's disease, dementia,
etc. The heavy metals
research that I've seen, however, was conducted
outside the body (not in human subjects), so there remains a lot of
research that needs
to be done in humans to further support this
function claim.
5. Provides immunomodulatory action. This means it
supports healthy immune system function which, of course, helps protect
the body
from a number of diseases and health threats.
6. Acts as a broad spectrum antiviral agent. After a
few weeks
of use, NCD reportedly begins to exhibit antiviral effects. This
benefit
is obviously very important for defense against infectious
disease and even potential pandemic threats like the bird flu. It
doesn't mean NCD
treats bird flu or any particular disease,
but it could potentially help reduce the viral load in conjunction with
other, more direct treatments.
7. Balances pH levels. This is also hugely important
for
maintaining overall health. Most people exist in a state of excessive
acidity, largely
caused by poor dietary choices. NCD helps balance that
state so that the body can function at its greatest biochemical
efficiency.
8. Improves nutrient absorption. Malnutrition is
common in the
populations of the western world, even for those eating excessive
quantities
of food. One of the main reasons is, of course,
malabsorption of nutrients, and it is these nutritional deficiencies
that so often lead to the onset
of chronic disease, especially in the
elderly. NCD reportedly improves nutrient absorption, thereby reducing
the risk of malnutrition, even
without dietary changes.
How does Natural Cellular
Defense really work?
crystalline structure of the zeolites which make up the active
ingredient
in NCD. Zeolites are found in nature,
formed by the fusion of glass-rich volcanic rock with water (either
fresh water or seawater). These
zeolites have a rare property of being
able to exchange positively-charged particles with surrounding elements
without losing their structure.
Zeolites are, essentially,
negatively-charged minerals.
This allows a zeolite crystal to act as a "cage" that traps particles
and compounds, isolating them from the biochemistry of the
organism.
Thus it functions as a sort of dance club bouncer that captures free
radicals, carcinogens
and even viral particles, and tosses them out.
Because of this unique
mechanism, NCD offers a unique line of defense that complements
existing nutritional therapies without redundancy.
In other words, if you're already taking green tea supplements as a
breast cancer prevention
strategy, then taking NCD will only complement
your green tea strategy,
because NCD works from an entirely different biochemical mechanism than
green tea.
A good question about NCD
(and I don't know the answer to this)
is whether NCD would be contraindicated for the dietary
supplementation
of minerals such as calcium, magnesium or trace minerals. Rik partly
answers this in his rebuttal (below), where he explains the selectivity
of the
zeolites.
Critics say zeolites cause
harm
cancer. How can that be? They're referring to the fibrous structure of
zeolite
crystals and the problems encountered when a person inhales
tiny crystalline structures. Inhaling asbestos, for example, is known
to cause
lung cancer. The tiny, knife-edge fibers in asbestos slice up the
tissues of your lungs,
then embed themselves and interfere with normal lung
tissue function,
ultimately leading to cancer (20 or 30 years down the road, sometimes).
My first response to the
critics is simply that the zeolites in NCD
are never inhaled. This is a product that's swallowed, not breathed in.
So
we're talking apples and oranges here. Of course volcanic rock will
cause cancer if you grind it into fine dust and inhale it for hours on
end.
Almost any crystalline substance would do the same. But consuming
it orally is an entirely different story.
We consume many other
crystalline structures orally, including
minerals and amino acids from our daily diet. Silica, for one, is a
common
nutritional supplement, and there's no indication that
swallowing silica is harmful. Even spinach contains crystalline
structures. And zeolites
are on the GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe)
list maintained by the FDA. Not that the FDA has any credibility in my
view, but it is a
GRAS substance.
You can see this GRAS status mentioned at:
http://www.gsaresources.com/PDSZK406H.htm. There, the page goes on to
explain,
"Natural
zeolites are inert, non-toxic minerals which are federally classified
as GRAS (generally recognized as safe) in most
applications and
exempted from regulations and reporting when used in accordance with
good agricultural practice and when
less than 2% in animal feed products (40 CFR, Part 180.1001)."
I would also question the critics of zeolites with an obvious question:
if zeolites caused cancer, then how did 78% of the stage 4
cancer
patients in the clinical trial find themselves in a state of full
remission after taking NCD?
Obviously, if the substance promoted
cancer, those people should never
have survived the study. Seven subjects didn't survive, actually, but
they were late-stage cancer patients,
and the trial lasted 14 months.
Keep in mind this was a
small study, so it doesn't prove
anything conclusively all by itself. I've seen some talk on the 'net
that claims this
substance has been proven to cure all cancers with a
100% cure rate and other similar nonsense. That's extremely
irresponsible, given
how little we actually know about the efficacy of
this supplement in the context of different diseases or conditions.
More research clearly
needs to be conducted. It may someday be solidly
proven that NCD prevents or treats cancers, but the supplement is
nowhere near that
status today. (It would cost probably half a billion
dollars just to fund the studies to determine the answer to those
questions, by the way.)
The Scientific Research Monograph by Rik Deitsch
explains more about the safety of NCD:
The zeolite particles are negatively charged in the entire pH
range
(pH 1–11). Electron microscopy shows an absence of
fibers,
and most
particles are round with a very rough surface. The absence of fibrous,
positively charged particles is encouraging since
such particles are
present in asbestos and erionite zeolites, which are highly
carcinogenic and mutagenic. In addition, activated
zeolite particles do
not catalyze the production of hydroxyl radicals, unlike asbestos or
erionite. It seems that absence of fibrous
particles capable of
producing hydroxyl radicals makes this zeolite sample nontoxic and
noncarcinogenic, at least when applied
orally.
Rik Deitsch responds to
critics
the primary critic of NCD. You can scroll all the way down to the
bottom of this article to see the full response. It contains some solid
scientific rebuttals to the critics, and also a good dose of emotional
charge (almost as exciting as some of my own Big Pharma rants...)
The one contraindication on NCD that I'm fully aware of, however, is
dehydration.
If you take this product as a supplement and then fail
to drink large
amounts of water, you may end up causing harm through dehydration
combined with circulating crystalline structures. Imagine
sand flowing
through a water hose, and then suddenly the water stops. What happens
to the sand? It gets stuck in the hose. A crude metaphor,
I know, but
realizing that uric acid crystals circulating in the blood can cause
havoc with joint pain, it seems wise to point out that full
hydration
is likely crucial for anyone choosing to take this product.
My main complaint about zeolites is that they have been tested on lab
rats. As is standard procedure in pharmaceutical testing, lab rats
are
given cancer (through injection of carcinogenic substances, usually)
and then watched for their response to the substance being
tested.
Because I'm a big animal rights supporter, and I have compassion for
all living things, I'm not happy about this animal testing on the
product,
and I wish the manufacturer would announce an animal testing
ban from here on out.
Rats are mammals, after
all. They give live birth, just like we
do. And although you might argue that sacrificing the lives of a few
rats is worth
finding a potential treatment for deadly diseases like
cancer, I have an argument against that: most people with cancer chose
a lifestyle that
causes cancer,
whether it's from cigarettes, eating junk food, avoiding exercise, and
so on. The rats, in contrast, made no such choice.
Cancer was forced
upon them as an experiment -- sort of like making the rats pay for the
sins of man. Thus, I believe it is morally wrong
to give cancer to one
group of mammals in order to discover a treatment for cancer in another
group of mammals that's supposed to be
of "higher intelligence" and yet
isn't smart enough to stop its own self destruction.
An interesting moral question, for sure, and one that I'm likely to
revisit in future follow-up articles.
Is it the next big thing
in nutritional therapy?
the remarkable properties of zeolites, combined with the standing
patent, the reputation of the researchers behind this product,
and the
desperate need for alternative solutions from people suffering from
cancer, this NCD product stands well positioned to be a big
deal in
nutritional products. Today, very few people have heard about it (it
was only released to the public recently). But a year from now,
it
could be well known and highly regarded in the healing communities.
If the initial function
claims hold up in further testing on
humans, NCD could be nothing short of an unprecedented breakthrough in
cancer
prevention, anti-aging, heavy metals detoxification and many
other areas pivotal to the health of the public at large. This single
product
could conceivably play a significant role in the reversal of
the health decline of populations in the United States,
Canada and developed
nations around the world. This is especially true
given the shocking fact that nearly every person in the United States
has at least 125
toxic chemicals
in their blood right now that don't belong there. Recent studies are
even finding rocket fuel in 100% of breast milk
samples taken from
women across 18 states.
The potential success of
this product depends on how this plays
out, especially with FDA regulators who will no doubt be
heavily
scrutinizing this product. Why? My opinion is that the cancer treatment
industry is one of the most politically powerful (and profitable)
industries on the planet, and anything that competes with chemotherapy,
radiation, surgery and mammography is bound to be attacked
by the AMA, FDA and old school doctors. But that's just my opinion
based on the way Dr. Burzynski (and other cancer research
pioneers) have been attacked and discredited, going all the way back to
Hoxsey. Besides, innovation is always the enemy of
the
status quo. And the slash & burn approach to cancer
being practiced today is definitely the "status quo."
In any case, while I can't predict the future with certainty, I'd say
this product is positioned to be one of the most sought-after
and
talked-about disease prevention breakthroughs any of us have seen in a
while. Although I can't be involved with this company (due
to my
journalistic ethical guidelines), I am ordering product for personal
experimentation, and I do expect to write a number of
follow-up
articles on NCD as this story unfolds.

Why a direct sales company?
Once this article goes public, I'm going to receive the inevitable
emails asking, "Mike, why are you recommending a company using the
direct sales marketing model?"
I'm not concerned with the marketing model of the company.
That's
irrelevant. I'm interested in the product. And if the company
changed
its marketing model to TV advertising and vitamin store displays, I'd
still recommend the product as long as they didn't fudge the formula.
Besides, I'm consistently finding some of the best health
products in the world are found through network marketing companies.
The
Amazon Herb Company,
for example, is flat-out of the most high-integrity, honest and
globally positive supplement companies I've ever
seen. That's why I
encourage everybody I know to get involved with the Amazon Herb
Company, even if it's just as a customer. Their
rainforest herbal
products are second to none, and their pioneer (Amazon John) is an
individual of great authenticity and credibility.
About the Waiora company
This Waiora company, by the way,
is not one that I have been watching or covering for any length time.
So I don't have the depth of
knowledge about this company that I do the
Amazon Herb Company, for example. But I do know that when I called them
in doing my
due diligence for this article, they answered their phones
promptly and were very attentive.
I do know the company was founded in April, 2004, by top
people who
used to be in the Rexall direct sales organization. Those
founders
are
Stan Cherelstein and Eddie Stone. As a direct sales organization,
Waiora is undeniably young, yet its principals bring many years
of
experience with them. So hopefully the company won't buckle under the
barrage of customer service demands that always seem to follow
explosive growth in any new product like this.
The company is mum on its total number of active distributors, but they
are gearing up for accelerating interest by proactively hiring
new
staff: customer service personnel, packers and shippers, etc. This NCD
product, by the way, definitely seems to be the hottest item
on
the
menu for Waiora. Their other health products may be well formulated,
but they're not what's getting people excited.
The company currently has active business status in several
countries: the United States, Canada, Taiwan and Japan. In contrast,
Europe,
Australia, South America
and Africa are currently excluded from Waiora's business operations,
although Waiora is constantly striving to
expand its international
operations.
Much of the research on NCD was conducted by Rik Deitsch. Rik
is the CEO of the Nutra Pharma Corporation, a publicly-traded
biotech
firm. Rik is experienced in researching drug design using computer
simulations, and currently teaches physician CME
(Continuing Medical
Education) courses internationally. He's also the author of the book,
"Are You Age-Wise?" Rik and the
founder of Waiora, I was told, have a
long history of cooperation on various health projects and product
formulations.
Dr. Gabriel Cousens talks about NCD
The following segment was authored by Dr. Cousens from the
Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center.
It is amazing that every year 10.9 million people across the
globe
are diagnosed with cancer and 6.7 million people die because
of cancer.
This is about 12% of all global deaths. The U.S. Ranks in the top three
countries with the highest rate of cancer in both
men and women. This
is not an accident. 70,000 chemicals, according to the E.P.A., are used
commercially. 65,000 of those
70,000 are potentially hazardous to our
health. According to the Environmental Defense Group, more than 4
billion pounds of
toxic chemicals are released into the environment
each year, and 72 million of those pounds are known carcinogens.
These cancer-causing agents end up on our air, our water, and
our food. In other words, we, like everybody else in the
world,
are
surrounded by carcinogens, and we have to use what we as human beings
have used all along for survival: a certain amount
of cleverness and
thoughtfulness in our lives, to counteract the lack of consciousness
that the corporations and ourselves are
living with. Different tests on
the blood and urine of adult Americans have found a total of 167
compounds, with an average
of 91 of these per person. Of these 167
compounds, 76 are known to cause cancer, and 94 are toxic to the
nervous system.
82 affect the lungs, 86 affect hormones, and 79 cause birth defects.
In terms of children, unborn babies, for which Gabriel is working to
develop a detoxification system for pre-pregnant mothers,
the Red Cross
has found a total of 287 chemicals in the baby's blood, 180 are known
to cause cancer, 217 are toxic to the
brain and nervous system, and 208
cause birth defects in animals. Our future generations are explicitly
at risk. Wouldn't it be
nice to find a simple, natural remedy that can
act as a practical antidote for this situation?
Some estimates show as much 25% of Americans suffer from some
degree of heavy metal poisoning, the biggest ones being
Mercury, Lead,
Cadmium and Arsenic. We are exposed to radioactivity as well in a major
way. The Chernobyl disaster is just
one example of that situation.
Immune systems are compromised by lifestyle and by toxic exposure.
People are exposed to
increasing viral attacks; free-radical buildup
from radiation and other toxic chemicals has been seen as one of the
causes or
contributors to increased aging
and cancer. People are living in an acid environment, of acid thoughts,
of acid foods, and an
acid lifestyle; people are becoming, obviously,
more acid.
In my search for a simple approach to this, I have come across
a natural compound called zeolite. Zeolite, in general, has
been used
for hundreds of years as a traditional remedy throughout Asia to
promote overall health and well-being. Zeolite
is an alchemical
combining of the four elements, air, earth, water, and fire, as the
lava earth and fire energy of volcanoes
erupted, and the lava and ash
poured into the sea. The combination of the ash and the salt from the
sea, as well as the lava,
caused a chemical reaction, and over
thousands of years certain precious minerals like zeolites began to be
formed.
A chemist in a small pharmaceutical company in Ohio, was
intrigued by the power of zeolites. He researched it and purified
it,
and found some amazingly powerful effects from it. He was given a
patent # 6,288,045 by the U.S. government for this.
I have read the scientific research, the patent papers, and
the
research monographed by Rik J. Deitsch, a nutritional and
research
biochemist, who is president of NDA Consulting, Inc., a biotechnology
research group. He is also Chairman of
the Waiora Scientific Advisory
Board, and he is in charge of all the research concerning this natural
healing substance.
After talking with him and reading the literature,
it is clear that they may have discovered what seems to be one of
the
most potent natural preventatives, and perhaps even treatments, for
cancer.
In a recently completed preliminary 14 month study, with 65
level four, terminal-stage cancer patients, sent home to
die, 51 of the
patients, or 78%, experienced complete remissions, (which means
complete disappearance of the cancer)
. It appears to be effective for
all forms of cancer, leukemias, and lymphomas.
The mechanism of action is quite interesting for cancer.
Theoretically what happens is the zeolites in Natural Cellular Defense,
which is a certain structure that is negatively charged, takes in a
tremendous amount of positively charged heavy metals,
pesticides,
and herbicides, therefore having the indirect effect of neutralizing
their effect in causing cancer. Then, because
of this, the zeolites
become slightly positively charged and are attracted to the negatively
charged membrane of the cancer
cell and are pulled right into the cancer cells.
When the zeolite moves inside the cell, the P21 gene is activated. P21
acts as a tumor suppressor through its ability to control
cell cycle
progression. The activation of P21 appears to halt the growth of tumors
by directly suppressing growth signals. In
in-vitro studies, all cancer
cells tested were destroyed in 72 hours, which is a claim no other
substance has been able to make.
The beauty of it, of course, is that
there are no side effects because it specifically targets cancer cells.
My primary interest is in cancer prevention, and preparing
mothers for a healthy pregnancy. We do not want to ignore the fact
of a
preliminary study that shows approximately 78% of the terminally
diagnosed people with cancer are now in remission. We
have to say that
zeolite is still in preliminary research. We cannot claim that this is
a cure for cancer, but we can certainly look
at it as a potent cancer
prevention remedy.
In terms of the heavy metals, which is a major, major problem,
as
well as pesticides and herbicides, furans and dioxins, etc.,
we can say that zeolite acts to chelate and remove heavy metals,
pesticides, herbicides, and other toxins from the system. It
seems to do this in a hierarchical manner. It first acts strongly to
remove lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic.
Once it has
removed those from the system, which may take at least one
month, it then chelates out, in the second level priority, the
pesticides, herbicides, plastics, and so forth. The third priority is
it acts as a natural trap of viruses to prevent the production
of the
viruses.
The way it chelates out the heavy metals as well as the pesticides and
herbicides is that within the structure of the zeolite,
there are
certain cages, inside of which are positive ions. The positive ions
switch places with the heavy metals, pesticides,
or herbicides, which
are also positive ions, and [the cage structure of zeolite] tightly
binds them. One of the qualities of this
[caged binding of toxins] is
that they are 100% excreted; these pesticides, herbicides, and heavy
metals do not get deposited
in other places in the system; they go out.
40% of it binds the heavy metals in the gastrointestinal tract, and 60%
of it binds
toxins in the bloodstream and at the cellular level. An
additional part of its binding power was also proven at the Chernobyl
disaster, where it removed radioactive cesium and strontium-90 from the
system, acting primarily as a chelator, allowing those
radioactive
minerals to be trapped in the crystalline cage structure of the
zeolite.
Zeolite also acts as a unique antioxidant in that it does not work like
the traditional antioxidants,
which act as a way to, in essence
take up the excess free radicals.
What it does do, is it simply traps the radicals in its complex
structure. It inactivates them and,
again, eliminates them from the
system. So, it acts complimentarily to the traditional antioxidants
that absorb the free radicals into
their system because they have an
unpaired electron.
In addition, zeolite acts as what we would call a local
buffer.
Wherever it is, it buffers the system towards slightly
alkaline,
pH
7.35 to 7.45, which is a perfect buffer, for the optimum pH for the
human body, that we want. Research has also shown
that, in a way that
is not entirely clear, it acts to regulate the immune system, either to
up-regulate it or down-regulate it
according to the situation. This is
very important in a world in which most people's immune system is
seriously and
continually being compromised.
The final role that zeolite plays is as a broad-spectrum anti-viral.
What it does in that case is that it blocks virus production. It does
this because viruses produce everything in parts, in a production line,
and at the end, they put it all together. What zeolite does it
that it
literally absorbs the viral parts into the "pores" parts seems to be
effective for herpes virus 1, cosachie virus B-5, ecco-virus
7, and
also adeno virus 5. Gabriel wants to be clear that its effect as an
anti-viral is not immediate, but only seems to happen after
you have
been on it for about four to six weeks, and the heavy metals,
pesticides, and herbicides have been mostly pulled out. It
is the third
level down in the hierarchy. This, again, is a preventative thing that
builds up over time.
One unique thing about this zeolite is that it is considered
by
the FDA as "completely safe." It is listed on the GRAS list (generally
recognized as safe). There does not seem to be any side effect.
However, there is a contraindication to be aware of. Because
of
its
natural action to absorb water, it can cause dehydration. Whenever you
are taking this it, it is important to drink a lot of water.
It is
important to drink water before you start taking it to hydrate yourself
for several days. It is also contraindicated in medications
with heavy
metals, such as lithium or with the use of medications with platinum in
them.
The general treatment for everyone is 10 drops three times a
day, with or without meals. For cancer, 15 drops 3-4 times per
day
is
recommended. Zeolite remains active in the body for a period of six
hours, and then needs to be replenished. What I believe we
have here is
a most unique, natural substance that is formed alchemically way by
nature, as a gift from God to help us face our present
day health
challenges due to with ecological ignorance. In ayurveda, we call it
crimes against nature: prajna prat hara. Not only are
Gabriel and
Shanti taking it, but I feel that it is an obvious thing that everyone
who is living in the industrial world should be taking on
a regular
basis.
Once you have taken 10 drops three times per day for four to
six weeks, then you can drop down to 3-5 drops three times a
day
on an
ongoing basis, and upping it when there is a viral attack, chemical
exposure, chemtrail exposure, and so forth. This is a gift
from God to
antidote our very difficult environmental conditions that keep us from
being our fullest, healthiest, clearest, joyful,
God-merged beings that
we are meant to be. This product called Natural Cellular Defense is
available at the Tree of Life or,
like most unusual products that are
useful, has now become distributed by network marketing and can be
obtained at a significantly
less expensive way if you sign up to be a
distributor and distribute it to your family and friends. This is
something that everyone on
the planet needs to have.
This is different from supplements that generally add to your
well-being, but are not necessary. Natural Cellular Defense is simple,
elegant, extra-ordinary, and necessary for maintaining healthy living
in today's modern toxic world. For more information on the
product,
its' history and scientific basis, there is an excellent 24/7 recorded

through this
Waiora International NCD website
style="text-decoration: underline;">
The cost,
by becoming a distributor, will become obviously less
expensive, and
will allow you more ability
to share it with family and friends. It is
a way of sharing a very specific level of good news.
Dr. Gabriel Cousens blesses you all. May your health, and joy, and
awareness continue to improve as we transform the planet.
The Rik Deitsch response to critics
Here's a memo distributed by Rik Deitsch himself which
responds to
the safety concerns about NCD. Here, he's responding
primarily to
Jonathan Campbell. (I'm also open to printing Jonathan Campbell's
rebuttal to all this if he wants to contact
Truth Publishing with a
response. I want readers to hear both sides on this.)
Dear Waiora Distributors,
I have just read Jonathan Campbell's website where he makes unfounded
and malicious attacks on the use of natural zeolite as a
dietary
supplement. I would like to address his points and assure everyone that
the Natural Cellular Defense is in fact a completely safe and
non-toxic
product that is based on a granted U.S. Patent and supported by dozens
of clinical and epidemiological studies that have
been published in the
peer-reviewed medical literature.
As background, it's important to understand that there are more than
100 different zeolites. As an example, asbestos is a zeolite
and
causes
cancer when inhaled as a fine powder. The zeolite used in the Natural
Cellular Defense is naturally-occurring non-fibrous
clinoptilolite and
is considered to be extremely safe and entirely non-toxic (even when
inhaled). A study published in 1993 concluded
that "clinoptilolite type
zeolite had no carcinogenic activity." (Tatrai E, Ungvary G. Study on
carcinogenicity of clinoptilolite type zeolite
in Wistar rats. Pol J
Occup Med Environ Health. 1993;6(1):27-34.)
Additionally, Mr. Campbell suggests that there are no long-term animal
or human toxicity studies. This is also incorrect. The zeolite
in the
Natural Cellular Defense has been used in water filtration, air
purification, plant fertilizers and animal feed for more than
thirty
years in the United States. There are hundreds of published studies and
articles that outline the uses and benefits of our form of
zeolite in
humans and animals. Not to mention that there is over 800 years of
traditional use throughout India, China and Russia.
It is quite obvious
that Mr. Campbell could not even be bothered to do a Medline search
prior to regurgitating his inaccuracies on the
website. Had he done so,
he would have found no fewer than 140 articles on such topics as:
removing heavy metals, improving the
health of animals, treating viral
disorders, removing fungal toxins, remediation soil and treating
cancer. This search can be accessed
at the National Institutes of
Health National Center for Biotechnology Information at the following
link:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez (search for "clinoptilolite")
Mr. Campbell also cites a paper on carcinogenicity which incorrectly
lists clinoptilolite as a fibrous zeolite similar to erionite. In
a
paper on the clinoptilolite's effects on animal tumors, the researchers
found that:
"Electron microscopy showed the absence of fibers, and most
particles were round with very rough surface. The absence
of fibrous,
positively charged particles was encouraging since such particles are
present in asbestos and erionite zeolites,
which are highly
carcinogenic and mutagenic. In addition, activated zeolite particles
did not catalyze the production of
hydroxyl radicals, unlike asbestos
or erionite. It seems that absence of fibrous particles capable of
producing hydroxyl
radicals makes this zeolite sample nontoxic and
noncarcinogenic, at least when applied orally." (Pavelic K, et al
Natural
zeolite clinoptilolite: new adjuvant in anticancer therapy. J
Mol Med. 2001;78(12):708-20.)
Mr. Campbell also states that there is no evidence of excretion. This
too is incorrect and can be easily researched in the
literature.
In
three separate studies specifically analyzing the ability of
clinoptilolite to aid on the excretion of radioactive cesium particles,
the
zeolite was found to accelerate the excretion of Cs-137 from
sheep's bodies. The whole effect resulted in 15 to 50 times lowering
of
the equilibrium concentration of the radiocaesium (Jandl J, Novosad J.
[In vivo reduction of radiocesium with modified clinoptilolite
in
sheep] Vet Med (Praha). 1995 Aug;40(8):237-41.)
Additionally, we are currently evaluating the Natural Cellular Defense
in its ability to aid in the urinary excretion of heavy metals.
This
research is being conducted by Eno Research & Development
(ERDI) in
North Carolina in cooperation with Duke University staff.
The study
aims to quantify the type and amount of heavy metals that are excreted
from patients using the product. We have already
seen some promising
results and expect the study to be completed in the first quarter of
2006 and we will seek publication of the data.
Mr. Campbell's next point is that he claims the clinoptilolite zeolite
to be indiscriminate in what it adsorbs. This too is incorrect. There
are dozens of published studies that outline the reactivity series of
the zeolite, showing preference for the heavier metals and
larger
compounds that carry a positive charge. Many smaller compounds will
move into the zeolite, but will not be trapped. These undergo
simple
buffering and are released back into the body. The ability of the
zeolite to undergo cationic exchange has shown that there is a
reproducible, quantifiable reactivity series. Additionally, several
animal studies have shown that adding clinoptilolite to animal
feed
actually increases overall nutritional health of the animal. One study
found that "clinoptilolite supplementation of the diets had no
significant effect on vitamins' and minerals' uptake and their
distribution in the body, since there was no alteration in their
blood
serum and liver/kidney concentrations." (Papaioannou DS, et al. Effect
of in-feed inclusion of a natural zeolite (clinoptilolite) on
certain
vitamin, macro and trace element concentrations in the blood, liver and
kidney tissues of sows. Res Vet Sci. 2002
Feb;72(1):61-8.)
I would also like to point out that the patent on the Natural Cellular
Defense and all of the related research was conducted
by biotechnology
and pharmaceutical companies. This had nothing to do with zeolite
mining companies as Mr. Campbell suggests.
Lastly, you should always ask why someone would take the time to write
a diatribe like the one seen on Mr. Campbell's website.
He answers this
question himself by supplying a link to his own answer to natural
cancer therapy.
If you follow this link, it will lead
to his offer to sell you his
books, products and services. He actually charges $60 for your initial
order of supplements and $20 per
month thereafter just for his
consulting services. He clearly states that, "Note that this charge is
for the ordering service only, and
does not include the cost of the
supplements, which range in price between $100 and $300 per month,
depending on the illness."
Always question the source of inflammatory material. Do your due
diligence and review published literature from uninterested,
unbiased
third parties.
I hope that this information is helpful.
Sincerely,
Rik J. Deitsch
