To help with both exercise and recovery many of today’s athletes are including supplements in their
daily diets.

One of the many supplements that is finding it’s way into athlete’s diets is a naturally occurring mineral called zeolite that has been used for centuries as a health supplement around the world.

Best used in it’s liquid form, like Liquid Zeolite , zeolite is a natural detoxifier that is able to safely remove toxins and heavy metals from the body. When the body is engaged in physical activity it is constantly being bombarded by toxins in the environment.

Endurance, strength and stamina can all be increased by the removal of these heavy metals and toxins along with helping the body to defend itself against these invaders.

Zeolite selectively seeks out and attracts toxic particles, it then is able to bind them together and remove them safely from the body. Whether they are toxic substances, heavy metals or viruses, zeolite will safely remove them before they cause harm to the body’s health.

Another amazing thing about zeolite is that it not only eliminates the buildup of toxins in the body, but it is able to neutralize the acid base balance and enhance the body’s immune function, thus improving the body’s nutrient absorption by improving it’s metabolic function.

Recently 150 trained athletes and 150 non-competitive athletes participated in a double-blind crossover study that tested zeolite against the same people taking a placebo. Of these individuals taking part in the
study over 80% noticed beneficial effects with their exercise during the time they were taking zeolite. Those beneficial effects included faster recovery times and general feeling of better health.

Shouldn’t you include Zeolite in your training program?

If only we’d known about  Liquid Zeolite …

My mother had type 2 diabetes for the last 12 years of her life. With my father gone, she lived alone with her health on the decline. She moved in with my wife and myself during her last 5 years of life, and we took on the job of caregiver, something she had done for me when I was very young.

One of my favorite stories of her declining health, set against our country’s wonderful health care system, is the gortex artery one. As I mentioned, with her declining health because of diabetes, her circulation in her legs and hands was always an issue.

During a visit to the vascular surgeon , which her regular doctor had her go to on a 6 month basis to see how things were doing, we were informed that she had about 10% circulation going down to her right foot. The vascular surgeon told us that an operation could be done to implant a gortex artery down her leg from her femoral artery to her foot to help the circulation.

With her being 79 years old at the time and on medicare, we checked with them to see what they would cover with such an opration.

I will NEVER forget their answer: "We will only cover amputation and rehabilitation!"

(Cutting a 79 year old, very fragile person’s leg off and then rehabilitating them???)

Fortunately my mother had a supplemental insurance that was able to take care of the operation, but I always remember that situation and wonder if liquid Zeolite would have been available during this time period, could my mother have been spared some of her suffering?

and let me explain how…

With it’s detoxifying abilities, Liquid Zeolite is able to reduce the glucose levels in the blood . Even though glucose is not considered a toxin, high levels of glucose can be VERY toxic to the body with some very bad results.

The constant oxidative stress that is brought on by the body having to transport high glucose levels makes the job of transporting oxygen-rich blood very difficult. This condition is known as "glucose toxicity".

With this condition the vascular system becomes inflamed and rigid. As the tiny capillaries found at the extremities become inflamed, total loss of circulation can occur , resulting in amputation potentially being necessary.

With time, the elevated glucose produces "advanced glycation end" (or AGE) products, which inhibit protein function. These AGE products contribute to atherosclerosis, hypertension, kidney impairment, heart attack and stroke, explaining why diabetics have associated highter risk of cardiovascular disease .

By helping to stabilize glucose levels and minimizing its out of control damaging effects to the blood stream, Zeolites can then reduce some of the risk or severity of ailments related to diabetes.

I wish Mom could have tried Liquid Zeolite . I miss her.

And let’s not forget the toxins found in the air you breathe, the chemicals and fluoride found in the water you drink or the pesticides detected in many of the fruits, vegetables and meats you serve your family.

It’s not enough that you’re subjected to toxins nearly everywhere you turn—the real issue is the prolonged exposure you face—exposure that starts even before you’re born.

In fact, according to a study commissioned by the Environmental Working Group on the umbilical cord blood of newborns, an average of 200 different industrial chemicals, pollutants and pesticides was found including mercury, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, dioxins, furans, pesticides, and chemicals from flame retardants, PCBs, industrial lubricants, plastics, Teflon, Scotchgard, industrial bleaches, electrical insulators, coal-fired power plants, vehicle emissions, and wood preservatives.

In fact, of the 287 chemicals detected, 180 are known to cause health complication in humans or animals, 217 are known to be toxic to the brain and nervous system, and 208 are known to cause birth defects or abnormal development in animal tests.

Once you’ve entered the world and taken you’re first breath (one of 5,000 gallons of air you’ll breathe each day), you can be reasonably sure it includes some unhealthy trace particles or air pollution. In fact, according to the Environmental Protection Agency , U.S. facilities released 4.7 billion pounds of toxins into the atmosphere in 2002. Further, the EPA estimates fine-particle pollution causes an estimated 20,000 premature deaths in the U.S. each year.
Consider these air pollution facts:

• Women who live in areas with greater air pollution have a higher susceptibility of developing and dying from coronary heart disease (CHD)
• Coal-fired plants emissions are the single largest source of mercury air pollution, accounting for roughly 40 percent of all mercury emissions nationwide and are believed responsible for 20,000 premature deaths a year.
• In 2003, the Centers for Disease Control found that roughly 10 percent of American women carry mercury concentrations at levels considered to put a fetus at risk for neurological damage.
• Approximately 160 million Americans are breathing unhealthy air.

The water you drink, clean with and wash with doesn’t fare much better.

According to one study conducted by the University of Michigan , one ton of oil is spilled for every million tons transported. This same water is pumped back into our water supply, which experts like the Environmental Working Group believe have contaminated the tap water in 42 states with more than 140 unregulated chemicals.

Contaminated water isn’t the only problem. Outbreaks of waterborne disease are on the increase. In fact, an estimated 7 million people become sick and more than 1,000 die in the U.S. each year from waterborne microbes.

Consider these water pollution facts:

• Fifty million gallons of water, fine particles of dust, soot, arsenic, mercury, lead and other pollutants from and ash settling basin was dumped into the Delaware River last August.
• Chlorinated chemicals in drinking water linked to increased risk of breast cancer.
• Sewage treatment plant workers at much higher risk of respiratory illness, skin rashes, headaches & body aches.

And, as if concerns regarding drinking and breathing weren’t enough, you also have to be careful with the produce, meats and fish you eat.

Herbicides and pesticides—used to keep bugs off crops, inhibit weed growth, and protect your lawn are taking their toll on your health. For starters, environmental chemicals have a wide range of effects on immune system function, ranging from a decrease in your body’s ability to fight infections and tumors to increased allergies and autoimmunity.

Although neurotoxic in nature, these compounds can also cause dermatological, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, respiratory, musculoskeletal, and cardiological problems. Hormones like zeranol, which has been used to fatten up cattle more quickly has been shown to exacerbate breast health concerns.

Considered these related facts:

• Mercury in rivers is so pervasive that 47 states now have posted advisories either statewide or for specific waters instructing people to limit their intake of freshwater fish.
• Exposure to high levels of mercury can harm the brain, heart, kidneys, lungs and immune systems of humans.
• In a study performed by the Soil Association, 84 percent of fruits and vegetables given to school children contained one pesticide, 65 percent of the samples contained two or more pesticides.

But the toxins you’ll probably find most surprising are those found in your home —a place where most of us think we’re safe.

For starters, many of the products that improve the look and scent of your homes like household-cleaning products have been linked to ADHD and other learning and behavioral disorders . Even the new carpet in your home might be making you sick because of the glue used to put it down. The substance contains the harmful ingredient benzene and the neurotoxin xylene — one of the unhealthiest chemical combinations you can be exposed to.

Faulty appliances can emit ozone, which affects lung health; and carbon monoxide, which is lethal at high concentrations. And mold, bacteria and other biological contaminants can cause or exacerbate asthma, allergies and infections.
