The "Drug" industry

It is no secret that I am not a fan of pharmaceuticals. Although, I do believe that they have a part to play in our overall health, I believe that other the last few years, the industry has gotten out of hand. Medicine used to be used to improve the health of mankind, but now the industry is corrupt.

Think of it like this;

If the CEO of a pharmaceutical company is meeting with two young scientists. The first one enters his office and he requires $10 million dollars to develop his cure for cancer. The second comes in and requires $10 million to develop a drug that will manage the symptoms of cancer indefinitely. Where do you think he will put the money?

Remember that the CEO serves the company and the shareholders. Therefore, he MUST make the decision that is best for the COMPANY! Not for mankind. So, he gives the money to the second scientist and the "cure" is never developed.

It is a sad reality in this world, but it is reality.

There are so many natural products that can drastically improve our health, but no one wants to invest money to "prove" it. Since the products are not patentable, there is no way for a company to secure it's investment. Therefore, they continue to develop drugs and in order to stay competitive, they continue to imply that natural remedies are ineffective.

The bottom line is that we must be careful when we look at the drugs that are available to us. Always keep in mind that someone is making money from the decision to bring that drug to the marketplace and as long as the drug passes certain "short term" criteria, then it is allowed on the market... Until it is recalled that is.

I will guarantee that no one will ever "recall" an apple!

Is Liquid Zeolite the Best Zeolite?

There are many different Zeolite products out there and it doesn't take long to realize that when you do a search for Zeolite in google. There is more information in the free ebook by Shelley Penney (a retired nurse) called The Liquid Zeolite Book.

So how do you figure out what is real, what is a scam and what is harmful?

Let's first look at the most popular types of Zeolite.

Powder Zeolite

This type of Zeolite has been around for quite some time, and it's not hard to tell that it is the least popular. Any nutritionalist will tell you that food is most easily absorbed into the bloodstream in it's liquid form... Furthermore, if you are buying powder, then chances are you will need to mix it up in order to take it. This means that there is more opportunity for mistake. Typically, the powder form is the cheapest, and when you are dealing with critical health decisions, maybe "cheapest" is not the best move.

Zeolite Enhanced with DHQ

Here is a product that has been getting some great marketing buzz from a fellow named Richard Sopias. He has written a book on natural cures for cancer and he mentions Zeolite as the most important aspect. After a little digging, he used to support the Original Liquid Zeolite product, but now he appears to have a marketing contract with a new company with the Zeolite Enhanced with DHQ. Upon further research, it appears that this product contains a few fillers that have little to no health benefits and could possibly be harmful for some people. DHQ is a antioxidant, but antioxidants are much cheaper and more effective in Orange Juice and you definitely don't need to be spending top dollar for an antioxidant. To get the maximum benefit, get a pure Zeolite product and supplement it with Cranberry Juice.

Liquid Zeolite

Liquid Zeolite appears to be the best choice for an effective Zeolite product. However, again there seems to be a number of different options. Here's an interesting point to make. The Original Liquid Zeolite developed has been out on the market for a few years and has generated dozens of positive experiences. When I looked at some of the other retailers for Zeolite they seem to be pointing to the same testimonials. This is outrageous. People are creating a different product and claiming to have the same benefits.

In the end don't be fooled. There are many different Zeolite products, however, only the original has the patented activation process and it is the only one that has the positive testimonials attached to it.

A quick word on Activation

Zeolite when found in nature is filled with toxins. That is because Zeolite naturally attracts heavy metals and toxins and traps them inside. Therefore, before it can be consumed we must find a way to clean it out. This is the science involved. Once the Zeolite cages are cleaned they are now available to extract the heavy metals and other toxins from your body. By placing them in a Liquid solution, the product is able to be absorbed into the blood stream and able to clean out your body cleanly, safely and effectively.

Liquid Zeolite : Fact of Fiction?

Liquid Zeolite has been a buzz word for quite some time. Some people out there are claiming that it is a miracle drug, and others are calling it a scam. After researching Liquid Zeolite and using one of the versions of Zeolite for quite some time I’m thinking that it is neither miracle nor scam. It is something in between.

First of all, Zeolite is not a drug. It is a mineral. The Liquid form is simply a solution that is easy for the body to process. Let’s also get something else clear… Liquid Zeolite does not cure anything. What it does do is that like a magnet, it attracts into its honeycomb structure virtually all heavy metals.

Many of us are suffering from some level of heavy metal poisoning. There are constant strains on our immune system from outside toxins. Our air is at least a little polluted, our water is filled with chemicals, even our food has chemicals to keep the bugs from eating it, and also to preserve the food during transportation. With all these problems we need something to rid us of these chemical toxins.

Liquid Zeolite is one way to safely remove heavy metals. Once these toxins are out of our body, then we can let our bodies take care of the rest. We are all built with the ability to heal ourselves and when our immune system is not busy dealing with toxins it can work on something else. This is why people are finding that they see results with just about any illness. It’s simply because their bodies are more able to deal with the task at hand since the toxins are not holding our immune system back.

If you want to know more, there is a very good free resource out there on Liquid Zeolite by Shelley Penney called The “Liquid Zeolite” Book. It is about 24 pages and the information is very useful. She also compares a few brands and makes a recommendation. Worth the read, and if you are ready to give it a try, she makes it easy to purchase… There is a number to call as well if you need help with the online ordering process.

I hope this helps!

Liquid Zeolite Scam?

I've been keeping up as much as possible on the whole Liquid Zeolite debate in attempt to separate the fact from the fiction.

I really have tried to keep up on both sides... There is a plethora of good news about Zeolites and their effect on Cancer, Autism, Detox, general health and even pet health. There have also been reports of scams and various people debating whether it is real or not.

I've recently found a few sites that talk about the distribution method of Liquid Zeolite. There are many retailers of Zeolites and I've found that the most popular producer of Zeolite is a MLM company called Waiora.

Let me first explain a bit about MLM. There are many names for MLM.... Multi-Level Marketing, Network Marketing, Direct Sales, Home business, pyramid selling... and I'm sure there are more.

Network Marketing is a way to distribute a company`s products directly to an end line consumer by cutting out the middlemen. Instead of hiring a sales force, regular customers are able to refer other customers to the company and earn a commission check to do so. There is usually a membership or distributor fee involved, but it is usually quite small (around $30) and you should receive a marketing kit, distributor website and backoffice (sales tracking and training). Oftentimes, there is also a discount on the product from the retail price.

Having said this.... The fact that the company chose the MLM distribution method is not enough reason to avoid the product. Typically the products in MLM are VERY VERY high quality and provide instant and distinct results very quickly. Otherwise, they would not be able to continue selling the products.... As we know, bad news travels much faster than good news. If the product didn't work, you would see far more negativity than positivity.

As for the "business" or "pyramid" aspect of it. The company will always encourage you to promote the products, however, this is a personal choice and NEVER let someone pressure you into promoting the business. If the product works for you.... Just opt out of the "business". Simple as that. I suggest that when you find a distributor for Zeolite that you ask to be excluded from the "Business" side. You can still get the membership, but you can opt out of all the "harrassment".

I hope this helps!

Cancer can be beaten with Zeolite?

I just got through Shelley Penney's ebook on Cancer called "Cancer Can Be Beaten". I've read (and recommend) Shelley's free ebook about Liquid Zeolite and I was intrigued by the new book that she is now distributing.

I must say that it is actually quite informational. She discusses what cancer is, how it is caused and actually offers 7 cancer fighting strategies. I'm quite impressed... She even included a recipe for a "Cancer Fighting Smoothie" which I admit is quite delicious.

A little summary is that Cancer is the result of abnormal cells in the body which divide and replicate out of control. The causes for these abnormal cells can be traced to toxins which cause mutations. Shelley has a wealth of information to educate for those who are just looking for information... However, for those who are looking for solutions... There are many products that Shelley recommends in her book that can beat cancer!

I am very impressed. This woman really seems to have her heart in the right place.

Natural Therapies to Conquer Cancer

The word "cancer" is like a death sentence to most people when they hear it... Many diseases are on the rise today and for some reason people aren't putting two and two together.

Look around us... The air is more polluted than ever, many of us buy our water in a bottle because we don't trust what comes out of the tap (but we still bathe in it), our food supply is becoming increasingly "fake" with all of the chemical and genetic modification. It is no wonder that we are getting sick more often. We are constantly putting toxins in our bodies and we aren't doing anything to get them out.

What is even more worrisome is that the healthy solutions that are out there typically cost so much money that only the wealthy can afford them. Have you heard of a President who died of Cancer? Curious isn't it.

We must do something to rid ourselves of the toxins that we are exposed to. The question is what do I use, and how can I find the right stuff? There is a Natural product called Zeolite that I have been researching a lot lately, and the results are staggering when it comes to eliminating cancer. However, there are so many different places to buy it, and it appears that there are some unscrupulous marketers out there that are praying on the uninformed and profiting from it.

The best resource I've found to date is a free ebook written by Shelley Penney. She's done a ton of research and has even compiled information about a variety of vendors in order to help you separate the fact from the fiction. For your convenience you can follow this link: Liquid Zeolite Book.

I wish you the best of luck in your research.

Zeolite, Shelley Penney, Robert Sopias and Cancer

There is so much information on the Internet about Zeolite and even though I've been researching for quite a while now I still get confused. Here's a breakdown of the major players that I keep coming across.

Shelley Penney is a retired Registered Nurse that has written a free Liquid Zeolite eBook on the subject. I suggest downloading it. There is a lot of very useful information. She seems pretty down to earth about the information that is presented. She also seems to have done a lot of research and makes recommendations on what product you should use depending on the purpose.

Robert Sopias is all over the internet. He runs a site called cancer-fighting-strategies.com and has written a report entitled "11 Natural Therapies to Conquer Cancer". He admits that he has no health background, but he calls himself a "health consultant". Although I do find that somewhat conflicting, I suppose it's possible that he knows what he's talking about. One thing to keep in mind is when it's all said and done his "health regiment" will cost thousands of dollars. It might not be apparent right from the start, but be careful.

I think that the key is to do your homework. There is no doubt that there are alternative health products that could help cure various ailments such as cancer, autism, etc. However, keep in mind that it's not the product that cures it... It is your body that heals itself when given the proper tools (ie: nutrition). Zeolite is a detox product. Zeolite will pull toxins out of your body. It is up to you to add some good nutritional habits and exercise to be sure that these products have the best chance at success.

To your health!

Sloan Kettering on Zeolite!

This is exciting news! I was just made aware of an article from Sloan Kettering on Zeolite. While it doesn't corroborate human anti-tumor it certainly DOES corroborate animal anti-tumor. This is HUMONGOUS!! Here's the excerpt and the link to the rest of the article.

Mechanism of Action

Zeolites have ion-exchanging and adsorption properties. Zeolite granules, when used externally on wounds, can stop bleeding and promote clotting through the absorption of water ^{(2) (3)}. Zeolites are thought to adsorb pathogenic microbials, glucose, and alcohol in the stomach and intestine and have been proposed for use in diarrhea ⁽⁴⁾, diabetes ⁽⁵⁾, and hangover ⁽⁸⁾ . Due to their alkaline nature, zeolites have pH buffering effects. They can adsorb nitrosamines in acidic solution ⁽¹²⁾ leading to claims that they can also be used as anticancer treatment by removing carcinogenic substances in the stomach. However, such effects have not been substantiated in humans. A few in vitro studies indicate that micronized zeolite inhibited protein kinase B; and induced expression of tumor suppressor proteins ⁽⁹⁾. In animal studies, micronized zeolite product was shown to reduce metastasis and increase the effect of doxorubicin due to its antioxidant property ⁽¹³⁾. It also increased peritoneal macrophages after intraperitoneal application and stimulate graft-versus-host reaction ⁽¹⁴⁾. Precise mechanisms of action remain largely unknown. Micronized zeolite can affect brain serotonergic receptors activities of mammary carcinoma bearing mice ⁽¹⁵⁾. However, the clinical implication of this effect in humans is unclear. Zeolite supplementation did not prolong survival in tumor-bearing animals ⁽¹⁶⁾. Zeolites may have both immunosuppressing and immunostimulating effects. In animal studies, they caused decline of GM-CFU in the bone marrow ⁽¹⁶⁾ but increase graft-versus-host (GvH) reaction ⁽¹⁴⁾. Zeolite products have other benefits when used in animal feed: they increase mineral utilization ⁽¹⁷⁾, reduce heavy metals induced anemia ⁽¹⁸⁾ and reduce aflatoxin toxicity ⁽¹⁹⁾. None of these benefits are applicable to humans.

I read the report and here are some of the most important highlights!

Special Point: A company has filed a U.S. patent application on using a form of synthesized zeolite as a cancer drug ⁽²¹⁾. Data submitted were based on in vitro, plant, and animal studies. The patent filing specified that the substance must be injected directly into the tumor. This rules out any benefits by oral route.The company cited financial reasons and decided to market the product as a dietary supplement. Zeolites have never been studied as a cancer drug in humans.

Purported uses

Treatment of diarrhea

Anticancer therapy

Antioxidant

Immunoenhancer

There is more information directly at the Sloan Kettering site.

IMPORTANT!!! PLEASE NOTE:

There are many brands of Zeolite out on the internet. This study only applies to the original zeolite products.

DO NOT BUY ZEOLITE UNTIL YOU READ THE BOOK ON
LIQUID ZEOLITE

The book is very informational and it talks about different zeolite products and how to find the original brand that is being used in testimonials as well as the studies.

Here is a link to the report on the Sloan-Kettering website.

What is a Zeolite?

A zeolite is a naturally occurring volcanic mineral that has very unique characteristics. There are over 40 varieties in nature that have similar structures, but each with it's own attributes. It should also be noted that there are many synthetic (man made) zeolites as well.

Natural Zeolites

“Natural zeolites (i.e., those found in volcanogenic sedimentary rocks) are used for many things such as building stone, as filler in paper, in the take-up of Cs and Sr from nuclear waste and fallout, as soil amendments in agronomy and horticulture, in the removal of ammonia from municipal, industrial, and agricultural waste and drinking waters, as energy exchangers in solar refrigerators, as dietary supplements in animal diets, as consumer deodorizers, in pet litters, in taking up ammonia from animal manures, and as ammonia filters in kidney-dialysis units. Most recently zeolites have been used as a food additive, and as a "nutritional supplement".

Zeolites have been used for many years from Roman times right up until today's recent success in the healing of cuts and wounds, natural zeolites are now considered to be full-fledged mineral commodities, the use of which promise to expand even more in the future.”

(From a paper was presented at National Academy of Sciences colloquium "Geology, Mineralogy, and Human Welfare," held November 8-9, 1998 at the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Center in Irvine, CA.Colloquium Paper “La roca magica: Uses of natural zeolites in agriculture and industry” Frederick A. Mumpton )

Natural Zeolite Structure

Zeolites are like little honeycomb structured magnets. They are negatively charged and they have small channels that attract smaller molecules. Zeolites are commercially valuable because of their dynamic property of 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.

Zeolite - As a Nutritional Supplement?

---

Powdered forms of zeolites have been used for centuries throughout Asia as traditional remedies to promote overall health and well being. Stories have been passed down from generation to generation and many people have experienced positive life changing benefits.

The unique, complex crystalline structure of zeolites and their honeycomb structure of caveties and channels work at the celular level to trap 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.

Key Benefits

---

• Supports a healthy immune system.*
• Helps remove heavy metals, toxins and other substances from the body.*
• Helps balance pH levels in the body.*
• 100 percent natural and non-toxic.*
• Safe for long-term use.*

When Zeolite is taken orally it doesn’t just remove heavy metals, it also appears to help get rid of herbicides and pesticides, other toxins and seems to have some anti-viral effect.

Zeolite has GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status from the FDA.
