Mercury and Cadmium; beware dangerous bullies in your body

Patricia Stokes

It’s good to look at some basic chemistry and understand why heavy metals, particularly mercury and cadmium
are so dangerous in the body and how they prevent zinc absorption.

• Zinc, is crucial for proper immune and metabolic function, although ionic (unbound) zinc is toxic.
  
• Cadmium, commonly found in cigarettes, is toxic to both smoker and passive smoker.
  
• Mercury, found in amalgam fillings, and sea food has no known use in the body and is even more poisonous.
  

This simple group of elements, all have +2 electrical charge, and varying atomic weights.

Zinc (Zn 2+) Atomic weight, 65

Cadmium (Cd2+) Atomic weight, 112

Mercury (Hg2+) Atomic weight, 200

“Cadmium and mercury, will attempt to fill the same receptor sites as zinc, their presence will prevent zinc absorption.”

This is like a 65 kg person (zinc) competing with 112 kg (cadmium) and 200kg (mercury) people in a game of musical chairs. This is known as “fight for site” and its not hard to see who is going to win; the 112 and 200 pound bullies, cadmium and mercury. Bullies get the hot seat , they fill up the places where zinc should be, but are unable to do zincs job in initiating immune function and myriad of other metabolic processes.

So where does this leave the essential mineral Zinc?
Just hanging around in an unbound form (ionic) creating an avalanche of free radicals which in turn oxidise.

You need to note that zinc is one of the most important minerals needed by the body. Zinc facilitates in the production of hundreds of enzymes in the body, each of which are responsible for regulating bodily functions.

Copper is another case in point, an essential mineral easily displaced by mercury. High toxic accumulation of copper for example can be the cause of Parkinson’s symptoms , anaemia, allergies, hair loss, appetite disturbance, hyperactivity, low thyroid activity, headaches, skin conditions, constipation, learning disabilities, and/or depression.

If through testing, high levels of ionic zinc or copper are noted , it generally wont be because of an exposure, but because something is blocking the absorption and unbound minerals are building up in the body.

So we can now understand how deficiencies of essential minerals occur, not always because of poor diet , but through high body burden of heavy metals that dont allow for correct absorption.

This is the reason I have such a passion for the use of Activated Liquid Zeolite, we know that it removes from the body the Heavy metals that caused deranged mineral transport in the body.

We don’t need to be concerned about it removing the essential minerals , because not only is it charge specific in what it allows into its molecular “cage”, but it is also size specific and our essential minerals wont bind inside the zeolite.

“Unless we remove the toxins we are only supplementing a poisoned body and that becomes expensive and frustrating.”

So next time you are looking at all the symptoms of a deficiency, instead of rushing to supplement, consider doing a heavy metal detox using Activated Liquid Zeolite first. The down stream benefits of a toxin free body can be enormous.

If You Want To Grow Up To Be A Thermometer- Eat Lots Of Tuna

By Barbara Lockwood 

Do you remember being a kid and having a mercury thermometer stuck under your tongue or armpit when you had a fever?

Do you also remember that they were fairly fragile and broke quiet often? 

Do you remember the speedy little balls of Mercury rushing about on the floor or table or wherever you broke the thing? do you remember trying to catch them?

 

They were amazing little balls of energy! No one told us that this energy was dangerous to our health and many of us played with the little balls till they broke up and sank into the carpet and disappeared.

There you go, one of your better types of contact with mercury, you are on your way to becoming that Thermometer!. 

But you were stil in the race because  they did not disappear just laid low and many cases of mercury poisoning can be traced back to this amazing fast and deadly element being left to sink into the floor covering, slide under the linoleum or just be swept up with the rubbish.

It is not as toxic a lead, (supposedly) where no level is safe. This is according to eminent toxicologist Dr Steven Gale from Sydney University who has stated categorically: 

“There is no such thing as a safe level of lead in the human body!”

Abundant Mercury! 

We all live with mercury in our bodies especially if you are of the age group that was exposed to amalgam fillings. A very large number of dentists tell you quite categorically that amalgam filings are harmless and we, the patients are gullible in the extreme to believe all this nonsense of it being dangerous.

However it does appear that the “safe” amalgam is no longer used. Is it because people refuse to have it in their mouths or is it because there really is a problem?

Could it be that all the dentists who say there is none are wearing the emperor’s clothes while they go on blithely poisoning yet another generation. Or is it really gone for good? 

Getting back to the headline;

Tuna is one of the most toxic fish that we can eat.

All large fish fall into that TOXIC category! Tuna is one of the larger varieties and lives longer so it has more time to absorb mercury from the over abundant supply in our oceans.

 Volcanos Erupt and spew out mercury.

Did you know that every time there is a volcanic eruption millions of tons of mercury are spewed into the ocean?

Some interesting information from the Daily Science website  suggests that a volcano does not even have to erupt to spread poisonous mercury!

[“Whilst researchers had suspected that mercury boils out of hot magma, the big surprise was just how much mercury escapes from volcanoes.

Measurements made on just one part of the Masaya volcano in Nicaragua, by Dr Melanie Witt of Oxford University, have shown that about 7 tonnes of natural volcanic mercury escapes into the atmosphere from this vent each year.

'That one vent of one volcano can produce 7 tonnes of mercury a year is astounding,’ said Oxford’s Dr Melanie Witt, ‘that’s considerably more than total industrial emissions of mercury from the UK – recorded at about 5.5 tonnes in 2000. It confirms our suspicions that volcanoes are an important part of the global mercury cycle: what we need to understand next is where this mercury ends up and what effects it may have on the environment.’”]

 Scientists get excited!

While scientists are excitedly studying these amazing happenings our bodies are tipping over the edge with excess mercury and other heavy metals..

And we are on toxic OVERLOAD!

Here is a beautiful dance orchetrated by Mother Nature:

As the mountains spew out mercury and posions us, in the very same outpouring it also creates the the answer to the problem.

 

Zeolite, a mineral also created by that same volcanic eruption mixes with salt in the water and forms amazing cage like structures that can capture the mercury and trap it inside the cage so that it can safely travel out of your body using natural functions.

 It also captures lead and arsenic and other heavy metals. 

The purest form of zeolite to use is Activated Liquid Zeolite.

Here are some more places you can get mercury from in case your career is still focused on becoming that Themometer!

MERCURY is from:

Adhesives, air conditioner filters, algaecides, antiseptics, battery manufacturing,
body powders, broken thermometers, burning newspapers and building materials,
calomel lotions, cereals, congenital intoxication, cosmetics, dental amalgams, diuretics, fabric softeners, felt, floor waxes, fungicides, germicides, grains, industrial waste, insecticides, laxatives, lumber, manufacture of paper and chlorine, medications, mercurochrome, paints, paper products, pesticides, photoengraving, polluted water, Preparation H, psoriasis ointment, seafoods (especially tuna and swordfish), sewage disposal, skin lightening creams, soft contact lens solution, suppositories, tanning leather, tattooing, (contaminated water), wood preservatives.

Here’s what you feel like or may have  if you are a Themometer! 

Adrenal dysfunction, allergy, alopecia, anorexia, anxiety, birth defects, blushing, brain damage, cataracts, cerebral palsy, poor coordination / jerky movements, deafness, depression, dermatitis, discouragement, dizziness, drowsiness, eczema, emotional disturbances, excess saliva, fatigue, gum bleeding and soreness, headaches (band type), hearing loss, hyperactivity, hypothyroidism, forgetfulness, immune dysfunction, insomnia, irritability, joint pain, kidney damage, loss of self- control, memory loss, mental retardation, metallic taste, migraines, nervousness,  nerve fibre degeneration, numbness, pain in limbs, rashes, retinitis, schizophrenia, shyness, speech disorders, suicidal tendencies,  tingling, tremors (eyelids, lips, tongue, fingers, extremities), vision loss.

Now if your carrer path is changing and you don’t want to become a Themometer and you want to use that perfect Anti-Dote  from Mother  Nature find out how it works at this website and see the DVD of a volcano in action. www.barbshealthshop.com/mercury.htm
