20 Things You Need to Know About Zeolites

1. Zeolites are natural microporous silicate minerals ranging in color from colorless to white or light red, possibly due to the presence of impurities and traces of other minerals. In composition they are Al-Na or Al-Ca silicates and when heated they foam and seem to melt.

2. Recent results have demonstrated that zeolite is a major antioxidant, a glucose adsorbent, and a potential adjunct in anticancer therapy.

3. There are three known types of zeolites: fibrous zeolite, leafy zeolite, and crystalline zeolite, which together occur naturally in 106 variations. The crystalline zeolite clinoptilolitetilolite has been selected for tribome-chanical processing in a patented instrument because of its characteristic ease of absorption and selectivity and its ion exchange capacity.

4. The term TMAZ applies to natural zeolites from the clinoptilolite group processed in a vortical centrifugal micronization machine.

5. [One type of] Zeolite, sold as Natural Cellular Defense (NCD), is a negatively charged volcanic mineral in a liquid solution that removes toxins and heavy metals from our bodies. This product does have a U.S. patent. The patent shows this product is a cancer killer and disease fighter. If you have cancer you must read this patent. Go to: cancer.naturalcellulardefense.net. This site also explains the great benefits of zeolites and how they work in the body.

6. The tribomechanical activation procedure does, however, alter the physiochemical properties of natural zeolite to a significant degree. The most significant changes occur in its particle size, active surface, electrostatic charge, and ion exchange capacity. In comparison to non activated zeolite, the average TMAZ particle size is about 6 times smaller. TMAZ also has greater ion exchange capacity than non activated zeolite.

7. It was an experiment on a pig farm that first attracted attention to the properties of TMAZ. This new zeolite had been spread over the ground to measure its capacity to neutralize odors, but the pigs were found to be eating it and seemingly as a result, they were no longer victims of infarction or the acute respiratory sicknesses that are common to farm-raised pigs. Lelas was intrigued by these results and experimented with the consumption of this mineral powder among his friends and colleagues. Interestingly, a strongly positive reaction was noticed in the course of a few months in relation to several health problems.

8. Another important component of our supplement program is the use of NCD (Natural Cellular Defense), a liquid purified form of natural zeolite that safely chelates out heavy metals. Heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, and a total of 70,000 chemicals are used commercially in the U.S., according to the EPA. Sixty-five thousand of these chemicals are considered hazardous to our health. The Environmental Defense Council reports that more than four billion pounds of toxic chemical are released into the environment each year.

9. NCD, also called cellular zeolite is a 100% natural liquid supplement. Dr. Harvey Kaufman has spent some 37 years of research to formulate this natural product. His original plans were to continue with the drug approval process but found it to be very time consuming and eventually introduced his product to Waiora's scientific advisory board. They soon found this product could be available to the market much sooner as a natural supplement and at a much lower price. Zeolites were first discovered in 1756 by Axel Fredrick Cronstedt, a Swedish mineralogist.

10. The negative charge of the zeolite molecule will not reverse polarity or dissipate while in use. It would have to be heated to 900 degrees for days to break apart or melt.
    
    - Gregory, A. Gore, Defeat Cancer
11. Zeolites are negatively charged particles of glass-rich volcanic rock and seawater and are able to travel through the body with their negative charge and remove heavy metals that have a positive charge. These particles do this by binding and trapping them together in its structure of honeycomb-shaped particles, flushing them out of the body.
    
    - Gregory, A. Gore, Defeat Cancer
12. Upon mixing with water, the zeolite causes a warming sensation (Boots describes it as "self-heating"), while the clay helps absorb surface oil. It ends up being pricey for what you get, but is an option for normal to oily skin (and the warming sensation is just that, a sensation).

13. It's also known as a zeolite material. A direct sales company sells this, and there is quite a bit of research excitement about the ability of this substance to bind with heavy metals and other toxic chemicals that may be poisoning your system. Natural Cellular Defense is being intensely studied by Dr. Gabriel Cousens, an MD and raw foods pioneer, and the founder of the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center in Arizona. Dr. Cousens is studying the ability of the substance to remove toxins from the bodies of expectant mothers, and he's very excited about the results he's observed.

14. This form of zeolite has been labeled 100% safe by the FDA. NCD is now sold as a natural supplement and not as a drug. The Waiora Company, which sells this supplement, makes no claims that NCD will cure anybody of any disease. In an interview Dr. David Graham, the individual who blew the whistle on Vioxx and its harmful effects, and was responsible for its removal from our stores' shelves, said that NCD showed 78% full remission for stage 4 cancer, in one of the company's studies. This study was on 65people, with various types of cancer, with a prognosis of two months to live.

15. Always dilute the zeolite mixture with a small amount of water (at least 1 teaspoon, not metal) and hold under your tongue for 30 seconds before swallowing. This will facilitate maximum absorption by the body. Take on an empty stomach between meals and drink plenty of purified water throughout the day whenever cleansing your body of heavy metals or toxins.

16. Zeolite is a mineral shown to have anti-cancer properties, but with no known research for topical application.
    
    - Paula Begoun and Bryan Barron, Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me, 7th Edition
17. As determined by X-ray analysis performed on samples before and after activation, this process does not cause changes in the chemical composition of natural mineral zeolite. The tribomechanical activation procedure does, however, alter the physiochemical properties of natural zeolite to a significant degree. The most significant changes occur in its particle size, active surface, electrostatic charge, and ion exchange capacity.

18. Microparticles of zeolite could provide a major advance in the areas of illness prevention and sports medicine and can positively effect general tiredness.
    
    - Marie-France Muller, M.D., N.D., Ph.D., Colloidal Minerals and Trace Elements: How to Restore the Body's Natural Vitality
19. Zeolite microparticles are thus at the meeting point between natural and classical, or allopathic, approaches to health.

20. Oral chelators such as zeolite, cilantro, chlorella, the sulfur amino acids -- methionine, cysteine and cystine -- plus all sulfur containing foods, are preferred from a strictly natural health point of view. Exercise that produces perspiration, saunas, and steam baths in combination with the foods indicated above, are also helpful in eliminating heavy metals.
