Blood Level of Lead Standard Lowered.

Written by on

I await these kinds of moves.  It’s about time.

There are certain elements that when we are exposed to them in excess, especially children, can cause a range of serious problems and symptoms.

One such element is lead.  Ranks right up there with mercury, aluminum, cadmium and fluoride in my book.

The new standard has gone from ten micrograms per deciliter of blood down to 5 micrograms.

In my opinion, there simply is no safe level, especially again for children.  Bringing it down this far is an improvement, but why not even lower. 

It’s not dissimilar from cigarette smoke, as one national article states and that I agree with…

How much cigarette smoke do we want our toddlers, infants and children exposed to?

What is the “safe” level of cigarette smoke?

The zeolite I use as part of the Total Body Detox silver/zeolite combo is an amazing chelator, capable of grabbing the lead, trapping it in its molecular structure, and escorting the lead out of the body via the urine.  The product can be found at the candida approach tab at the top of the page…scroll down and you’ll find the product picture.  My all-time favorite zeolite based on the tests the company has done to prove its efficacy, and based on my own personal outstanding results.

Presented via a real-life example, with some humor (don’t miss the music)…but also shows us exactly what NOT to do if we are working out our chest via the barbell press:

People, people, PUH-LEEEEEEZE!!!!

He has what looks like 45 and 35lb plates on what’s likely about a 50lb bar (hard to see the bar) taking on what amounts to a lot of weight for someone of his size and lack of overall build. 

WHAT am I SAYING???

…OBVIOUSLY, it’s way too much weight!

Note his buttocks…

(No, not because they’re sexy)…

Note how they lift off the bench to try to compensate for the lift.

He is asking for more problems than I can even outline here in a short blog.

There is a time for cheating with weights.  They are to be reserved for the experienced and professionals.

For ALL others, we need clean, strict, slow form.  Reduce the poundages and focus on the muscle being trained.

Oye VEY.

An Open Challenge to Doctors Everywhere:

An Open Challenge to Doctors Everywhere:

I am daring doctors everywhere to drop their egos, focus on the health and well-being of their patients, suspend all judgment about what you think you know over what your patient knows, put aside your entire education (but keep it in your back pocket), and instead consider all the “quack” treatments, suggestions and supplements as well as the alternative information, including reports from people claiming to achieve results using a different modality than one you’re used to.

And last but not least…set aside every prescription drug you have at your disposal, and consider the supplements, herbs, food plans and technologies your patients are bringing you, as a possible new way of helping those who come to you.

Can you do it?

Or will you insist that:

Only you could possibly have the answers for your patient.

That you are the professional here, the one with the education.

That if it’s not in the medical books, it’s all bunk.

That alternative remedies of all kinds do not work.

That if double-blind studies are not done on a modality, it is quackery.

That only the FDA knows what is best for everyone.

That the alternative supplement that the patient believes helped them is merely a the PLACEBO effect, not a CAUSE and effect.

That a patient complaining of constant pain is really just nuts, because all the drugs that help the condition have been prescribed…so he/she MUST be nuts.

Antibiotics never hurt anyone, and there is no such thing as candida overgrowth.

Let’s see how big your egos REALLY are.
