Thyroid Problems Caused By Deficiency Or Toxicity?
By Patricia Stokes
Recently an article in the Sunday Telegraph, May 7, 2009, by health writer Sharon Labi caught my attention. Here is the article in its entirety.
“IQ’s going down.”
Iodine deficiency among pregnant women has reached such alarming levels that they will produce a generation of dumber children, an expert warns.
Endocrinologist Professor Creswell Eastman has just completed a study of 400 pregnant women at Westmead Hospital and found 60 to 70 percent of them were iodine deficient- up from 50 percent a few years ago.
Iodine is a trace element essential for brain growth in a developing fetus, but few women are getting enough of it.
It is also necessary to maintain normal thyroid function, growth and metabolism.
Professor Eastman, vice chairman of the International Council for Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders said women involved in the study were only getting half the iodine they require.
“If you’re mild to moderate iodine deficient, then your risk of miscarriage and premature labour goes up three-fold” he said.
“Children born to mothers moderately iodine deficient have lower IQ’s. It is dumbing down our population.”
Overseas studies have shown populations with iodine deficiency have lower IQ’s. When deficiency is severe a child can have an IQ 15 points below average.
A study by the Cancer institute found the number of NSW women being diagnosed with thyroid cancer skyrocketed by 84 percent over the past decade.
” We could solve the problem if we could convince the government that all salt for human consumption should be iodised” Professor Eastman said.
“So far Food Standards Australia has agreed that all salt going into bread from October this year must be iodised.”
“Thats good for adults and children, but wont fix the problem for pregnant women who would have to eat a couple of loaves of bread a day
Despite these efforts , the rate of iodine deficiency is getting worse. In 1992, the Medical Journal of Australia reported that the mean urinary iodine excretion level in Sydney residents was 180 micrograms per litre. Professor Eastmans studies found the figure was 70 micrograms per litre.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
“IN THE TOXIC 21ST CENTURY, THE QUESTION MUST BE RAISED, WOULD WE HAVE SUCH SEVERE IODINE DEFICIENCY WITHOUT BROMIDE/FLUORIDE/CHLORINE DOMINANCE?”
IODINE belongs to a elemental family called Halides . These 4 halogens are called Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, and Astinine , which are all antagonistic elements to iodine, meaning they will block the absorption of iodine. Iodine is the only halide that has any function in the body. Heavy metals get stored in the same receptors that are looking for iodine. Almost all of us are exposed to bromine, fluorine and chlorine and are storing these toxic halides in our iodine deficient receptors. Cells are not able to distinguish iodide from other anions of similar atomic or molecular size, which may act as “pseudo-iodides”
In the 1960s iodine was removed from commercially made bread and “pseudo-science” substituted BROMINE, a bio-poison in its place. Therefore if a person’s diet is deficient in iodine, the iodine receptors in the thyroid and stomach, for example, may fill up with bromine which is common in grains, bleached flour, sodas, nuts and oils. Brominated vegetable oil is use to hold the colour in suspension in lemon squash soft drink.
Iodine is depleted by bromine, which is used as a spray on fruits and vegetables, in baked goods, as a fumigant, and in Prozac, Paxil and many other pharmaceutical drugs. Bromine is also used in spas and hot tubs as an antibacterial agent. Chlorine and fluoride are chemically related to iodine, and compete with it, blocking iodine receptors in the thyroid gland. If the thyroid gland cant absorb iodine it cannot produce thyroxin, , the thyroid hormone.
FLUORIDE . Most of us would be very familiar with fluoride and it has been surrounded in controversy, but how many of us are aware that fluorides are cumulative and build up steadily with ingestion of fluoride from all sources, which include not just water but the air we breathe and the food we eat. The use of fluoride toothpaste is a substantial sources of fluoride intake. The body can only eliminate half of the total intake, which means that the older you are the more fluoride will have accumulated in your body. Inevitably this means the ageing population is particularly targeted. And even worse for the very young there is a major element of risk in baby formula made with fluoridated water. The extreme sensitivity of the very young to fluoride toxicity makes this unacceptable. Since there are so many sources of fluoride in our everyday living, it will prove impossible to maintain an average level of 1ppm as is suggested.
CHLORINE is a well known chemical, it is used to sterilise municipal drinking water supplies. Chlorine vaporises as a gas and is inhaled while showering and in heated swimming pools. Chlorine gas is used in a variety of ways to sanitise raw meat during production and reduce harmful bacteria, unfortunately chlorine is harmful to the environment and toxic to humans depending on the amounts ingested or inhaled or absorbed.
SO WHAT CONNECTION DOES THIS ALARMING IODINE DEFICIENCY HAVE WITH TOXICITY?
Heavy metals poison us by disrupting our cellular enzymes, which run on nutritional minerals such as magnesium, zinc, iodine and selenium. Toxic metals are like big bullies, they compete with, and displace essential minerals, then enter receptor sites belonging to essential minerals and block their absorption. A myriad of symptoms that mimic disease states can then arise.
When we look at the amount of halogen toxins we are exposed to every day, is it no wonder we have an epidemic of underactive thyroids? We need to take to immediate action ; detoxify and replenish . One of the simplest things to do is to begin the use of Activated Liquid Zeolite. It will help remove the toxins that were never meant to be in our bodies and which compete for receptor sites in the thyroid if iodine levels are low.
There have been reports of improved thyroid function in people who are using Activated Liquid Zeolite and its easy to see why this could happen. Zeolites do not put anything into the body and no claim is made that they cure any disease but they have the amazing ability of removing disruptive toxins, giving the body a chance to heal and repair. This repair work can be further enhanced if we are prepared to support the body with quality food based nutrition, clean (halogen free )water, fresh air, quality sleep and rest and simple exercise.
My own experience using Activated Liquid Zeolite has prompted me to write on this subject after many years of fluctuating thyroid function. 15 years ago I had painful Thyroiditis, and underwent radioactive testing which showed small nodules on the thyroid. Often my blood reports would show thyroid levels in the low end of normal, but not low enough to warrant medication. My Dr would tell me the levels were not low enough to make me feel as unwell as I did.
I tried numerous Drs , therapist and supplements , some of which helped to a degree. A few months before I was introduced to zeolite my Naturopath in conjunction with my Dr decided we would try Natural Porcine Thyroid , and this made a difference to my energy and some areas general wellbeing.
After taking zeolite for 4 months and feeling so more energy than I had known in 25 year,s we decided to gradually wean off the Porcine thyroid supplement and my thyroid levels have stayed perfect ever since. This is certainly not advise for anyone to stop their thyroid medication, but just be aware that as you use zeolite it may remove toxins and allow the thyroid to better absorb iodine and you may need to get your Doctor to monitor your dosage of thyroid drugs.
Breast tissue is another area of the body that concentrates significant amounts of iodine, so we must ask what happens if we have bromine, chlorine and fluoride collect in the iodine receptors there? Hmm… something to think about?

Amazing Detox – Activated Liquid Zeolite
By John Gaydon
What if there was a way to remove toxins from your body without interfering with body symptoms that was tasteless, easy to take and was scientifically proven? Read on and you will discover such a technology exists.
I have been recommending and using Colon Cleanses as my main method of staying healthy for many years. Working with a range of nutritional supplements, and dietary changes, I found that nothing gave me the level of improvement in energy than detoxifying my body.
The challenges with this is that most good colon cleansers don’t taste that good because they have special herbs and no sugar in them. The ones with sugar usually aren’t all that good anyway, even though they may get you to the toilet!
the same can be said of most liver and kidney detoxes too. Have you tried drinking a glass of Olive Oil? What about Caster Oil, the preferred option in the old days?
Let’s face it, detox can be plain unpleasant.
Along Comes Zeolite
Used for over 800 years in Asia for detoxing and Colon health, these amazing minerals are found in the ash of volcanoes. Of 49 different Zeolites found in nature, only one, Clinoptilolite, has been demonstrated to be safe for human consumption due to its special molecular shape. This Zeolite is not to be confused with the others, many of which are somewhat dangerous to your health.
Zeolites have some incredible properties in that they are one of the few minerals with a natural negative charge in nature, giving them the capacity to soak up toxins, trap them within the Zeolite molecule and be safely disposed of.
Being of a honeycomb like structure, the inside of the Zeolite molecule is hollow, allowing toxins to be stored there for disposal.
For centuries, Herbalists and others ground up the Zeolite into a fine powder and administered it. The Zeolite would soak up toxins in the colon, reducing the body’s toxic load and improving colon health.
Recently, the whole world is starting to get really interested in Zeolites, due to a discovery filed as a US Patent.
The Important Aspect Of Cellular Zeolite
The theory is that because in nature Zeolites soak up toxins and dangerous Heavy Metals, by removing residual toxins from the Zeolite molecules, the resulting product is able to soak up many times more toxins. While these Molecules are very tiny and hold on grimly to their contents, a way was discovered to clean out the Zeolite cage. To date, as far as we know, only one Zeolite Product has achieved this. giving it huge advantage over the rest!
There is more to Activated Zeolite than this. Rather than have a powder, some say can cause problems with the lungs, the ultra-refined (less than 1 micron average particle size) Zeolite molecules are colloidally suspended in pure water. Now the Activated Liquid Zeolite can float through the blood stream removing toxins from cell receptors, and safely eliminating them. This is indeed a star wars technology!
Activated Liquid Zeolite makes a quantum leap forward in Zeolite and Detox technology. The FDA has certified Clinoptilolite as safe for humans. The micronisation and activation mean that the particles move through the body like a vacuum cleaner, sucking up toxins and storing them in the dust bag for disposal. Inferior Zeolite products are not activated, and are like a vacuum cleaner where the dust bag is already full. Most of us know what that means!
What is even more interesting is that Hair Analysis tests show the removal of heavy metals using this technology. One person reduced lead levels from a scary 11 ppm to 1 ppm in less than 6 months. There are several documented cases on file.
There is no doubt that over the coming years more will seek information on Zeolites and their application to human health. In the meantime, we trust you will find this article informative.

Four Myths of Zeolite Exposed
March 26, 2009 by admin
Filed under Liquid Zeolites, Zeolite Information
There is a lot of information and misinformation about Zeolite on the Internet. Here we expose the four main myths circulated by some people.
Myth 1. Powdered Zeolite is the same as Liquid Zeolite.
Zeolite powder is very common in nature, especially around volcanoes. This mineral can be up to 600 million years old and of various classifications and sizes. Powdered Zeolite is used in all sorts of applications including animal feed, mining, filtration and clearing the soil of toxins. More recently, some of the Zeolite companies have been refining the powder to a much finer grade and offering it for human consumption. Others have taken this fine powder and suspended it in liquid, claiming it is the same as other liquid Zeolites.
FACT: Powdered Zeolite comes with contaminants. These are contained within the Zeolite cage. They probably won’t harm you, but when the Zeolite is already full of toxins, it is like a wet sponge, it won’t absorb any more, being inefficient at mopping up extra toxins.
FACT: Activated Liquid Zeolite is a Zeolite product where the toxins and heavy metals are removed prior to suspension in a liquid, preferably pure water. It is not the same as liquid Zeolite which is ground up powder in liquid.
Myth 2. All Activated Zeolite is the same. The only difference is Price
There are a few products claiming to be activated liquid Zeolite. Some are simply ground powder in water, while others use various agents to clean the Zeolite cage of contaminants.
FACT: There are safety issues when anything other than pure water and Zeolite are left in the Activated Liquid Zeolite solution.
FACT: Humic Acid, used in some Activated Liquid Zeolite products is subject to contamination by bacteria. Manufacturers claim it is a vitamin supplement adding nutrition to the Zeolite. The whole purpose of taking Zeolite is to remove contaminants, not provide nutritional supplementation.
FACT: Bacteria in food can produce such health challenges .
“Food borne illness is an ever-present threat that can be prevented with proper care and handling of food products. It is estimated that between 24 and 81 million cases of food borne diarrhoea disease occur each year in the United States, costing between $5 billion and $17 billion in medical care and lost productivity.” Bacterial Food Poisoning, Al B. Wagner, Jr.
Extension Food Technologist, Texas Agricultural Extension Service
FACT: A reputable company with a proven product will provide an independent laboratory report verifying the Activated Liquid Zeolite is free of contaminants and Bacteria.
Myth 3 Zeolite cures Cancer
Everyone knows that cancer can’t be cured. Anyone who even infers it can is discredited and threatened by authorities – and for good reason.
FACT: Cancer results from cells being formed with mutations and then replicating to the point that the immune system cannot neutralise them. There is evidence that this may be caused by excess toxins.
FACT: The incidence of Cancer has grown from 3% of deaths in 1907 to nearly 40%. This correlates to the use of pesticides, herbicides and heavy metals in manufacturing and foodstuffs. It would appear to be more than a coincidence.
FACT: The only real defence against Cancer is to do what is necessary to get your immune system fully functioning. Step one is to use Activated Liquid Zeolite to remove heavy metals and toxins from the body. Step 2 is to provide necessary nutritional support and other therapies and treatments to help the immune system kill off remaining cancerous cells. Activated Liquid Zeolite doesn’t cure cancer, but it just might help.
Myth 4. Activated Liquid Zeolite has been around for over 4 years.
Any company claiming this is just plain deceitful. A patented Activated Liquid Zeolite product was first released in April 2005. This product has 30 years of research behind it. Since that time many other forms of liquid Zeolite have appeared, using flawed technologies described above.
Anyone who claims their product has been around before 2005 is providing misleading information.

What’s So Special About Zeolite?
March 26, 2009 by admin
Filed under Zeolite Information
Considering Zeolites have been lying around for thousands of years , it is pretty amazing that they are only seen as a recent phenomena as an aid to maintaining vital health. In its natural state, Zeolite is a rock with a negatively charged molecule akin to honeycombe with a hollow centre. Zeolite has been used in traditional medicine in some Asian countries for hundreds of years, especially for colon care. More recently, it is used in water filtration, to cleanse soil of toxins and contaminants, and in animal feed to remove contaminants.
The difficulty has been in producing a product suitable for human consumption.
There are 49 naturally occurring Zeolites in nature. They come in three families.
- The first category includes asbestos. These Zeolites are bad and cause cancer
- Globular Zeolites are very large and used as anti caking agents
- Sheath like Zeolites are thin sheaves and include Cliniptilolite These are used in air and water purifiers and animal feed to counter heavy metals. They have been used in traditional medicine for over 800 years.
Introducing biochemist Rik Deitsch.
This brilliant young scientist is CEO of a company called Nutrapharma. What this company does is to search patents and look for innovative ideas that have not been followed up on, due to insufficient funding, or lack of marketing skills. Rik discovered a US patent no 6,288,045 B1 for an Epithelial Cell Cancer Drug. This got his attention as these days, the quest to find a cure for cancer is probably the number one goal of medicine. He then contacted Lifelink Pharmsaceuticals, the owner of the patent and negotiated an exclusive agreement to manufacture and distribute this patented technology.
After hiring a consultant to determine what was required to register this as a cancer drug, he quickly realized that the cost of the necessary research was simply too prohibitive, so plans were abandoned. There was something very interesting in the patent documents. It is stated that “It is well known that chemicals cause 95% of all cancers contracted by humans”. This may explain that while in 1907, only 7% of the population would be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, today this happens to 30-50% of us. How many people do you know who have had cancer? On closer examination, it turns out that Zeolite is particularly efficient at scavenging Toxic Chemicals and Heavy Metals.
With the hope of registering the product as a cancer drug gone, Rik decided to use Natural Zeolite as a supplement to remove Heavy Metals from the body. While the FDA granted Clinoptilolite, the Zeolite used for humans, GRAS (Generally Recognised As Safe) Status declaring it one of the safest substances we can take, Rik realized that to get into the bloodstream and scavange heavy metals from individual cells, the Zeolite would have to be ground to a very small particle size, typically less than 5 microns.
At this size, it was no longer possible to use the raw powder. It would be so fine that you couldn’t even see the particles. It was decided to suspend the particles in pure water. This created liquid zeolite.
Zeolites are negatively charged, and in nature they collect negatively charged particles and store them within the Zeolite structure. With traditional Zeolite products, the Zeolite cage is full of these toxins, resulting in limited absorption as they move through the body. The second huge difference using the new technology was to remove these contaminants, making activated liquid zeolite super absorbant. We have found that through careful study of the information available, there is only one Zeolite product that is fully activated, even though many claim to be.
As you explore other pages of this site, you will discover the relationship between zeolite and cancer, zeolite and heavy metals, and zeolite and general health. You are going to find this fascinating, as the Activated Liquid Zeolite has the capacity to improve every area of health. That is why we believe that it is the most important supplement you can take.
So join me on this journey. I am sure you will find something of interest to you on this site, whether it is finding out the science of Zeolites, or learning how it can help you achieve a more vibrant state of health and vitality.

Filed under Zeolite Information
Removing Heavy Metals and Toxins From Our Bodies Has Been a Challenge Till Now…
“Zeolites Quickly And Safely Remove The Toxins And Heavy Metals Which Damage Your Body Every Day”
It’s a fact of modern life. We all live in a Toxic Environment. A recent study showed 100% of subjects had Mercury in their bodies and 26 of 39 deadly toxins. In the 21st Century, we simply cannot avoid being attacked. There is only one way to deal with this challenge. We must find a way to remove the toxins and limit the damage.
Here, you are going to learn all about Zeolites and their application to humans. You will find many uses to enhance the health of yourself and your family, and be left in no doubt that this amazing discovery is :”the most important supplement you will ever take!”
About Zeolite Products
The name Zeolite refers to a class of volcanic minerals which have unique properties. There are 49 types of Natural Zeolite found in nature.
They come in three families.
1. The first category includes asbestos. These Zeolites are bad and cause cancer
2. Globular Zeolites are very large and used as anti caking agents
3. Sheath like Zeolites are thin sheaves and include Clinoiptilolite. These are used in air and water purifiers and animal feed to counter heavy metals. They have been used in traditional medicine for over 800 years.
Are Zeolites Suitable For Human Use?
Only the third type, Clinoptilolite, is suitable for use by humans. This natural zeolite has a very small particle size and when refined to less than 5 microns, has been found to be totally safe for human consumption. Most Zeolite is in the form of a powdered Zeolite. This has been used in animal feed to remove toxins and there are studies demonstrating this.
More recently, a liquid zeolite has been manufactured using a patented process developed over 14 years. Called activated liquid zeolite, this product has passed the FDA (Federal Drug Administration) in the US test and is certified suitable for human consumption. In fact this cellular zeolite has been given the very highest (GRAS status) level of safety, so we can be confident that we are receiving an absolutely safe product. There are very few natural products which attain this standard and it is usually after many years of use.
Using Zeolite, in the activated liquid zeolite form, is as easy as taking a few drops under the tongue, or placing them in a glass of water. They are colourless and almost tasteless, a boon when compared to the many herbal remedies.
The rest of this site is devoted to providing extensive information and research on Activated Liquid Zeolite. We suggest you start with the section on Cellular Zeolite and invite you to peruse the entire site and when you are satisfied this is something you wish to try for your own health, we have some contacts who can give you more information on a one on one basis.
