By far the most common problem we see during our public stress screenings has to do with sleep. Whether it's having trouble falling asleep, not staying asleep, or waking up to early, it seems to be the problem of the 21st century. Not sleeping straight through for eight hours is the most common complaint.
New research may give many people a newfound sense of peace about their sleep, as it appears that it is not natural to sleep in one chunk of eight hours. Dr. Mercola just published a good summary and some helpful tips for enhancing sleep no matter what the issue.

Symptoms of Sub-Acute Heavy Metal Toxicity
The theme this month seems to be on the chemical leg of our three-legged stool of health. Most people seek chiropractic care because of chronic pain. Every day in our office we address this problem through the structural leg of the stool, but your stool is going to topple over if you neglect the chemical leg.
The toxins in our environment (including heavy metals) create a chemical chain reaction that leads to chronic tissue acidification and inflammation (pain). All organ systems in your body are affected by toxins, from your brain to your left big toe, and everything in between including the following:
The toxins in our environment (including heavy metals) create a chemical chain reaction that leads to chronic tissue acidification and inflammation (pain). All organ systems in your body are affected by toxins, from your brain to your left big toe, and everything in between including the following:
- Cardiovascular (high cholesterol, high or low blood pressure, tachycardia)
- Immune (all cancer cells thrive in an acid environment, lupus)
- Digestive (irritable bowel syndrome, ulcers, diverticulitis, colitis)
- Endocrine (thyroid, adrenals, weight gain, low libido, PMS, impotence, prostate problems, tendency toward diabetes, leukemia)
- Nervous (Alzheimer, MS, ALS, Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Parkinson's, tinnitus, hearing loss)
- Psychological (chronic fatigue, seasonal depression, memory loss, suicidal tendencies, etc.)
- Oral (metallic taste, bleeding gums, periodontal disease, bad breath, formation of calculus)
If you would like to (1) find out whether you are toxic and (2) do something about it (natural, drug-free), contact us today. As an added incentive (as if the above list of protential health problems weren't enough!), the first five people to request the test will receive a 50% discount (from $35.00 to $17.50) plus 10% off a bottle of the supplement for detoxification.

Solving the Toxicity Puzzle, Including Radioactive Particles
A
respected pioneer in the field of heavy metal detoxification, Dr.
Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD, has determined that there is a direct
correlation between stored toxins and
infectious pathogens. He states that “for each equivalent of stored
toxins there is an equal amount of pathogenic microorganisms in the
body.” The presence of stored toxins causes immune system deficiency
that supports the growth of pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi,
and parasites.
The
term Toxic Body Burden (TBB) is now being used in reference to toxic
heavy metals, synthetic chemicals, and pathogens that enter and
accumulate in the body. Retaining and restoring vibrant health requires
an effective two-pronged approach that can detoxify toxic substances
while simultaneously eliminating infectious microorganisms.
Zeolite - Removes Toxins Naturally
Natural
zeolites are a class of crystalline, hydrated alluminosilicates of
alkali and alkaline earth cations, having three dimensional structures.
Most common natural zeolites are formed by alteration of glass-rich
volcanic rocks (tuff) with fresh water in playa lakes or by seawater.
For thousands of years, civilizations throughout the world have used
zeolites as a traditional medicine. Zeolites are now used extensively in
various industrial applications based on their properties to act as
catalysts, ion exchangers, adsorbents, and detergent builders.
The
specific type of zeolite that has the most important health benefits
is Clinoptilolite. Clinoptilolite is so effective in binding toxins that
it was given to victims of the Chernobyl explosion to ingest in order
to bind the radioactive isotopes that were released and thus reduce
radiation levels in their bodies.
What makes Clinoptilolite so unique is
its negatively charged, cage-like, honeycombed structure. When
ingested, this natural mineral attracts and irreversibly binds toxic
heavy metals, chemical elements, and free radicals and is then excreted
through the urinary tract. This process is called chelation.
One of the
most significant benefits of Clinoptilolite over other chelating agents
is its affinity schedule for toxic heavy metals. Clinoptilolite binds
with mercury first and lead second, moving on to additional
positively-charged toxic heavy metals and chemical toxins which may
include pesticides, herbicides, plastics, and even radioactive particles
without removing precious nutrients such as calcium and magnesium.
However, Clinoptilolite goes far beyond the critical job of removing
damaging toxins. Research has shown that it has many other vital actions
in the body. Clinoptilolite removes free radicals. Unlike classic
antioxidants, Clinoptilolite does not neutralize free radicals by
donating an electron to stabilize them. Instead, its structure captures
free radicals. Once trapped inside the cage, the inactivated free
radical can then safely be eliminated from the body.
•
Clinoptilolite has broad-spectrum antiviral properties: first, by
attracting and binding viral sub-particles, thereby interfering with
viral replication and eliminating them from the body and second, by
inhibiting viral proliferation via immune modulation of T cells.
•
Clinoptilolite helps maintain proper pH by removing acidic ions and
chemicals which then promotes optimal metabolic and immune functions.
•
Clinoptilolite may help to eliminate carcinogenic toxins from the body,
especially a category of carcinogens called nitrosamines. The most
common sources for these nitrates include processed meats, cigarettes,
and beer which are linked to pancreatic, stomach, and colon cancers.
•
Clinoptilolite treats diarrhea, promotes healthy digestion and
encourages nutrient absorption. Clinoptilolite’s ability to capture
ammonium ions during digestion promotes a healthier and less toxic
digestive system.
