It is devastating enough to consider
the “body burden” being carried by adults in this increasingly polluted
world but to even consider that your child is carrying a substantially
heavier load of toxins than yourself is difficult to acknowledge.
Belief would require action.
However, before I launch into a
passionate diatribe against environmental pollution, mercury based
childhood immunizations and present troubling information on heavy
metal toxicity in infants and children, I will tell you in advance that
I have recently discovered a natural health supplement that is elegant
in its simplicity and ease of application. It involves a recently
introduced product that works as a heavy metal detoxifier, completely
safe for all ages. It is positioned to become one of the most important
nutritional therapies of this new century. The name of this unique new
product is Natural Cellular Defense, brought to market in August 2005
by the company of Waiora.
Although there have been products
capable of removing heavy metals from the body in the past, there was
always the possibility of doing damage to the kidneys in the process.
Additionally, lighter metals such as calcium and minerals would be
removed as well, requiring the individual to over-compensate with
increased supplementation that was difficult to measure and effectively
isolate the toxins. However, Natural Cellular Defense is a very
effective system that never causes damage to the kidneys and has no
affinity whatsoever for the lighter, essential minerals, such as
calcium. It is completely safe. However, you do need to make sure the
individual stays well hydrated.
WHY CHILDREN ARE AT A GREATER RISK
THAN ADULTS.
It is easy enough to understand that
a body, substantially smaller than our own, would inevitably react more
strongly to the same amount of toxins. Coupled with rapid development,
an infant or child is extremely vulnerable to environmental
interference and their normal behavioral patterns put them at a higher
risk. During the first months and years of life, children’s organs are
developing rapidly, making them more prone to functional damage. The
nervous system continues to develop throughout childhood and therefore
is especially vulnerable to toxic chemicals in their personal
environment as well as food and water. And just like their young bodies
more readily absorb nutrients, they also readily absorb toxins.
In that first year of life, a
child’s ability to metabolize, detoxify, and excrete toxins differs
substantially from that of an adult. Children also may be more
susceptible to some toxins because their liver and kidneys are not
fully mature and cannot detoxify and excrete harmful substances as
readily as adults.
THE DANGERS OF MERCURY BASED
VACCINES.
We all remember the Mad Hatter from
the story “Alice in Wonderland”. But what most of you may not know is
that the mad hatter is based on a true story involving the hat makers
in eighteenth century London who went mad from their lead hats. We have
known for a very long time that lead is dangerous. Nonetheless, many
vaccines today, including Whooping Cough, Diptheria, MMR, and to an
even larger degree Hepatitis B – the latter being given to infants in
the first 12-24 hours of their life – contain mercury in amounts far in
excess of those cited as dangerous by the EPA as stated in 1998. The
Hepatitis vaccine has been shown to cause serious neurological and
ophthalmologic side effects. The benefits of vaccines are seriously
undermined by their substantial risks.
Reputable health organizations have
requested single dose vaccines so mercury would not be necessary,
however, for whatever reason the practice of doling out mercury based
vaccines to newborns continues. The practice is unconscionable. Only
vaccines given intravenously or orally are considered safe.
The question of vaccine-related
trauma remains a very controversial subject for there are two
potentially conflicting values; the desire to eliminate infectious
disease and the desire of a parent to protect their child.
Unfortunately, few studies of the long term risks of vaccines exist and
parents are left to make hard decisions in an antagonistic medical
climate.
MERCURY AND ITS AFFECT ON CHILDREN.
Mercury is a potent neurotoxin which
is highly damaging to the brain and nervous system. Exposure can hurt
the child’s ability to concentrate; it can affect their language
skills, socialization skills, hand to eye coordination and even their
vision. Exposure to low levels of mercury can permanently damage the
brain and nervous system and cause behavioral changes. You should also
note that mercury is a persistent bioaccumulative neurotoxin which
means it does not break down naturally.
The number of cases involving
childhood disorders such as autism, ADD, ADHD, and certain types of
cancers, have been rising steadily and these conditions have all been
linked to high levels of toxicity. This is not to discount the genetic
predisposition for these conditions but rather to make you aware that
early toxic overload plays a part in triggering this condition.
TOXICITY AND ITS AFFECT ON FETAL
DEVELOPMENT.
The National Academy of Sciences in
July of 2000 filed a report establishing the risk of mercury exposure
to fetal development is so great that at least 60,000 newborns each
year could be at risk for learning and developmental problems from
mercury exposure. In fact, one in 12 women of childbearing age in the
U.S. have more mercury in the body than the Environmental Protection
Agency considers safe for a fetus’s development, according to the
latest data from the Center for Disease Control.
In a study spearheaded by the
Environmental Working Group (EWG) in collaboration with Commonwealth,
researchers at two major laboratories found an average of 200
industrial chemicals and pollutants in umbilical cord blood from 10
babies born in August and September of 2004 in U.S. hospitals. Tests
revealed a total of 287 chemicals in the group. The umbilical cord
blood of these 10 children, collected by Red Cross after the cord was
cut, harbored pesticides, consumer product ingredients, and wastes from
burning coal, gasoline, and garbage.
TOXICITY TEST RESULTS OF THREE
CHILDREN.
The following test results are
provided as a way of demonstrating that your child could indeed have
high levels of toxicity. I encourage you to visit
http://www.optimalwellnesstest.com for information on available testing.
This information was provided to me
by an acquaintance who became concerned that his children suffered from
higher than normal toxicity levels. To put the numbers in perspective,
this family consumes organic food and the children were never
vaccinated. The test procedure was performed immunoassay. The toxicity
level was determined by a formula measuring metals in circulation
(saliva), and being eliminated (urine).
Children’s ages are 7, 9 and 12 .
Summary as follows:
Heavy Metals Tests: Pre and Post
Waiora Natural Cellular Defense product:
12-13-2005
Each sample was tested for Aluminum,
Mercury, Lead, Cadmium, and Arsenic.
A simple number pattern was used
because this is not an official study. The simple number pattern is:
0 - zero levels of this metal
5 - Abnormally high levels of this
metal
10 - Could be lethal or very harmful
levels of this metal
Samples Before: 11-14-2005
Samples After: 12-5-2005
Time on NCD: 21 days
Child#1 (age 7)
Aluminum: Before NCD 7 - After NCD
3; Mercury: Before NCD 6 - After NCD 3; Lead: Before NCD 5 - After NCD
2; Cadmium: Before NCD 4 - After NCD 2; Arsenic: Before NCD 3 - After
NCD 0.
Child#2 (age 9)

2; Mercury: Before NCD 6 - After NCD 2; Lead: Before NCD 7 - After NCD
2; Cadmium: Before NCD 3 - After NCD 0; Arsenic: Before NCD 3 - After
NCD 0.
Child#3 (age 12)

2; Mercury: Before NCD 7 - After NCD 3; Mercury: Before NCD 5 - After
NCD 1; Lead: Before NCD 7 - After NCD 1; Cadmium: Before NCD 4 - After
NCD 2; Arsenic: Before NCD 5 - After NCD 5.
FINDING A WORKABLE SOLUTION.
Although the statistics on childhood
toxicity on the surface appear daunting and the need to get a handle on
our exposure to toxic chemicals desperate, we should remember that for
every problem there is a solution. Without a doubt our industrial
nation needs to take responsibility for their actions and to that end,
governmental agencies need to do a better job at enforcing this
responsibility. We need to find an alternative to mercury based
vaccinations. Parents should do their best to limit exposure.
Additionally, it is increasingly important for women wishing to become
pregnant to engage in a detoxification program before trying to
conceive and to that end, Natural Cellular Defense could be of great
assistance. Most importantly, we must help our children already damaged
by pollutants and chemicals by providing them with a serious and
workable detoxification program. Natural Cellular Defense is a product
that offers one very important and viable solution to toxic overload.
