Energy Detox: for improved health
We should have known we were in trouble when a decade ago the cover
article of USA Today showed that the average city water contains
over 500 different chemicals.
Considering that it takes decades for this type of information to
trickle down to the lay person, this should have been a big clue that we
had been missing the boat in protecting ourselves. But now anyone who
doubts the toxicity of water needs to only ask themselves why local spring
water costs more per gallon than gasoline hauled from thousands of miles
away via expensive wells and refining.
Real uncontaminated, clean water does not contain 500 different
chemicals, nor does it have an objectionable odor or taste. And in
contrast to the average city water, real water does not require the
addition of multiple chemicals to make it safer, more palatable, less
acidic, more healthful or change any of its other characteristics.
Our
water is poisoned chiefly by industrial pollution via smokestacks and
waste water, plus artificial fertilizer (often recycled toxic sewage
sludge loaded with heavy metals that bioaccumulate in the body) and
pesticide runoff from agriculture. But not being content with that, man
has figured out many more ways to increase the toxicity of drinking water.
Fluoride is a good example of a toxin that is deliberately added to
water. Fluoride is a halogen that is a potent enzyme inhibitor that is
even used as a preservative and anticoagulant for biological specimens. It
is known to cause excessive calcification not only in arteries but joints
and ligaments, and contributes to many forms of cancer and osteoporosis.
For 11 years between 1986 and 1997 a national survey of 39,000 United
States schoolchildren revealed no statistically significant differences in
tooth decay between children drinking fluoridated versus non-fluoridated
water. In addition it was found that, instead of building strong healthy
teeth, fluoride damaged brain enzymes and lowered IQs. And we certainly
have an epidemic of learning disability to back that up.
Fluoride has also been linked to behavioral disorders, birth defects,
flu-like symptoms and arthritis. Fluoride acts much like a heavy metal
(even though it's a halogen) in damaging enzymes. Also, once in the cell
membrane, it can cause malfunction as well as damage hormone receptors and
other regulatory sites. If that were not enough, fluoride has also caused
an increase in bone cancers as well as hip fractures from skeletal fluorosis (accumulation of fluoride in the bone). By displacing minerals
that belong in the bone, fluoride leads to a weakening of bone and an
eventual increase in factures.
Death rates are also higher in fluoridated communities versus those
living on well water. Studies show that fluoride can damage the heart,
other organs like the brain, kidneys and even hormones. Many researchers
are particularly concerned about fluoride in infant formula, baby foods,
juices, tooth treatments and baby prescriptions in addition to being
deliberately added to water.
Chlorine, used for decades to kill bugs in drinking water and as
a home cleanser, turns out to be a free radical initiator that elevates
cholesterol and accelerates aging. Statistical analyses and comprehensive
articles have documented how the chlorine in our drinking water promotes
not only hardening of the arteries but various types of cancer of the
rectum and bladder.
Clearly water is one of our most important nutrients. So it is more
than ironic that one of our most important detoxification tools is
progressively more polluted - it is tragic.
Energy Detox
gives the body the needed boost to start to return integrity to
the body,
enabling it
to reverse the decades of accumulated poisons.
It does not
treat disease.
