The Number One Health Risk - Gallstones In The Liver
Think of the liver as a large city with thousands of houses and streets. There are underground pipes for delivering water, oil and gas. Sewage systems and garbage trucks take care of waste products. Power lines deliver energy to the homes and businesses. Factories, transport systems and shops meet the daily supply requirements of its inhabitants. The city is organized in such a way as to provide all that is needed for the continued existence of its entire population. However, if city life becomes paralyzed as a result of major strike actions, a failing power supply, a massive act of terrorism or a devastating earthquake, the population will begin to suffer serious shortcomings in all of these sectors.
The liver has hundreds of different functions and is connected with every part of the body. Every moment of the day it is involved in manufacturing, processing and supplying vast amounts of nutrients. These nutrients feed the 60-100 trillion inhabitants (cells) of the body. Each cell is, in itself, a microscopic city of immense complexity, with billions of chemical reactions per second. To sustain the incredibly diverse activities of all the cells of the body without disruption, the liver must supply them with a constant stream of nutrients and hormones. With its intricate labyrinth of veins, ducts and specialized cells, the liver needs to be free of any obstruction in order to maintain a problem-free production line and frictionless nutrient and hormone distribution system throughout the body.
The liver is the main organ responsible for processing, converting, distributing and maintaining the body’s ‘fuel’ supply. Some actions involve the breakdown of complex chemicals; other important functions involve synthesis, particularly the manufacture of protein molecules. The liver acts as a cleansing station, inactivating hormones and alcohol and drugs.
In all cases, it is the task of the liver to modify these biological active substances so that that they lose their potentially harmful effects - a process known as detoxification. Specialized cells in the liver’s blood vessels (Kupffer cells) mop up harmful elements and infectious organisms reaching the liver from the gut. The liver excretes the waste materials resulting from these actions via its bile ducts. To make sure all this occurs efficiently, the liver receives and filters three pints of blood per minute and produces two and a quarter pints of bile every day. Obstructive gallstones can greatly undermine the liver’s capacity to detoxify all of these externally supplied and internally generated substances in the blood; they also prevent the liver from delivering the proper amount of nutrients and energy to the right places in the body at the right time. This can upset the delicate balance in the body, known as ‘homeostasis’, leading to malfunctioning of its systems and organs.
A perfect example for such a disturbed balance is the increased concentration of the endocrine hormones, estrogen and aldosterone, in the blood. These hormones, produced both in men and women, are responsible for the correct degree of salt and water retention; when not detoxified, as occurs in bile duct and gallbladder congestion, their excessive concentration in the blood causes tissue swelling and water retention. High estrogen levels are also considered the leading cause of breast cancer among women. In men, high levels of this hormone can cause excessive development of breast tissue. Nearly 60% of the American population is overweight or obese; that is, they suffer from fluid retention (with comparatively little fat accumulation). Fluid retention in the tissues forces other toxic waste matter to be deposited in various parts of the body. Wherever the storage capacity for toxins is exhausted, symptoms of illness begin to occur.
Cleansing the liver of gallstones dramatically improves digestion, which is the basis of your whole health. You can expect your allergies to disappear, more with each cleanse you do! Incredibly, it also eliminates shoulder, upper arm, and upper back pain. You have more energy and an increased sense of well being…Dr. Hulda Clark

A great many battles continue to be fought around the world today, and one that demands more attention is the war deadly toxins incessantly wage against our bodies. It is a very quiet conflict, but one with an escalating casualties count.
Some of the human body’s better known enemies are the heavy metals aluminum, lead and mercury, but, presented in its entirety, the complete list of toxins silently sickening the human population would be truly overwhelming. Many experts agree, however, that one name that would surely be near the top of the list and therefore warrants aggressive retaliation is cadmium.
Cadmium contaminates our air, water and food. Like so many other heavy metals, it is a pollutant that cannot be avoided by any person hoping to live a normal life on Earth.
That’s the first bit of bad news, and here’s the second: According to Dr. Sherry A. Rogers, author of the book Detoxify or Die, “As a carcinogen, cadmium can trigger, for example, cancer of the lung, prostate, testicles and more. And once you have any cancer, cadmium acts like fertilizer for cancers, making them grow more rapidly and spread or metastasize.”
Cadmium toxicity has also been linked to angina, hypertension, high blood pressure, arthritis, osteoporosis, migraines and depression, as well as other medical conditions and disorders.
Another toxin on the long list of inescapable health hazards is toluene. A chemical found in cosmetics, nail polish, shoe polish, inks, cleansers, paints, glues and many other everyday household items, toluene has been linked to liver damage, heart attack, depression, cancer, and more. Rogers notes in her book that toluene has an addictive potential equal to that of alcohol and opiates. “So instead of finding it disagreeable,” she says, “people actually seek it out.”
Once cadmium, toluene, mercury and the many other toxins we constantly expose ourselves to end up in our bodies, our health is unquestionably at high risk. However, there are ways to work to get these pollutants out of our systems. One such way is with a sauna.
Sauna heat raises our skin’s temperature and, through perspiration, the toxins that are dissolved in our sweat and body oil are flushed out to the surface of our skin where they can be easily washed off. That may be an oversimplified explanation of the process, but the key points to remember are these: Sweating helps detoxify the body, and one of the best places to work up an intensely powerful sweat is inside a sauna.
A comprehensive detoxification or detox program can include other elements such as dietary changes, supplements, and even enemas, but the importance of sauna therapy as a detox program component should not be underestimated.
As for the specific type of sauna, Rogers is among a group of experts who recommend the far infrared sauna over the traditional Finnish variety. The author counts the lower, more tolerable temperatures and deeper, more direct heat penetration offered by a far infrared sauna among the reasons for her personal preference.
Today, high-quality home saunas of all types can be found at affordable prices. If the extra expense is of particular concern to you, however, consider the educated opinion of Dr. Rogers. “When you realize the lifelong incapacity and expense of diseases such as chronic pain syndromes, heart disease, chemical sensitivity, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, migraines, Alzheimer’s, cancer or any others caused by chemical toxicity,” she says, “a sauna is cheap.”

The phrase “body burden” has been used by scientists to describe the heavy load of chemicals that can be found in the average person - the result of lifelong exposure to industrial chemicals. Before we are even born, synthetic chemicals and heavy metals of all kinds begin building up in our bodies as passed on by the mother through the placenta.
In a study led by Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, in collaboration with the Environmental Working Group and Commonwealth, researchers at two major laboratories conducted a study on nine volunteers (a group consisting of individuals who were neither exposed to chemicals in their work environment nor lived near an industrial facility). The results were quite remarkable. They discovered an average of 91 industrial compounds, pollutants, and other chemicals in their blood and urine and a total of 167 chemicals. Of the 167 chemicals found, 76 cause cancer in humans or animals, 94 are toxic to the brain and nervous system, and 79 cause birth defects or abnormal development.
While it is difficult to measure a precise picture of human contamination because chemical companies are not required to report to the EPA how their compounds are used nor are they responsible for monitoring where their products end up in the environment. The above sited study does give us much reason to be concerned and certainly would explain why such a high percentage of the public are suffering today from chronic diseases. The chemicals we cannot process end up accumulating in our bodies and this growing body burden works to poison our tissues and exacerbate, as well as cause, disease.
What is different today, and only as recently as August of 2005, is an easy to use alternative health supplement that is truly within the reach of all who wish to rid themselves of the numerous toxins accumulating in their body. The new line of defense against an environment we cannot control is a product called Natural Cellular Defense (NCD), a non-prescription substance made from natural ingredients. The active ingredient in NCD is a volcanic ash called zeolite. This is not a new substance. What is new is the process by which this particular zeolite is manufactured. It is now available in a liquid form as a detoxifier capable of removing toxins from the body in a simple to use formula. It’s honeycomb framework of cavities and channels work at the cellular level trapping allergens, heavy metals and harmful toxins. Because it is one of the few negatively charged minerals in nature, zeolites act as magnets drawing toxins to it, capturing them in its cage and removing them from the body.
Originally this substance was being looked at by pharmaceutical companies as a cancer treatment, however, it would take 8 to 10 years and $800,000,000. Because it is a natural substance on the FDA’s list of GRAS (generally regarded as safe) it was brought to market as a powerful and unique detoxifier.
Natural Cellular Defense is based on extensive research being conducted by reputable and innovative scientists generally associated with pharmaceutical medicine and is backed by U.S. Patent. Waiora acquired the exclusive worldwide distribution rights in August of 2005.
Results of the research with zeolite are quite impressive. The following are a few of the function claims made as a result of this research:
1. One of the most important function claims is NCD’s ability to induce tumor suppressor cells in the body sending mutant or diseased cells into a state of programmed cell death therefore eradicating disease.
2. Natural Cellular Defense removes heavy metals, particularly lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic, all of which are associated with neurological disorders such as autism, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
3. Research concludes that NCD blocks the mechanism of viral replication and therefore promises to work well as a general non-toxic anti-viral remedy. Research is also suggesting NCD helps with the common cold and flu, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and hepatitis C.
4. NCD has been shown to act as an effective detoxification food for women wishing to become pregnant so as to avoid passing on toxins and heavy metals through the placenta.
5. NCD creates a natural buffer in the system maintaining a blood pH level between 7.35 and 7.45 which is the optimal blood pH and therefore activates brain function and the immune system.
6. Without making any additional dietary changes, NCD improves nutrient absorption and therefore reduces the risk of malnutrition. This becomes particularly important as we age and the body becomes less adept at properly absorbing nutrients from food.
7. NCD decreases free radical activity by absorbing the free radical directly into the zeolite’s pore thereby acting as an antioxidant. Because it functions differently than an antioxidant, NCD works in a complimentary fashion to any antioxidant drink you may already be taking such as green tea.
8. Zeolites capture triggering antigens which cause allergies, migraines and asthma.
9. NCD has the ability to trap and destroy nitrosamines in the digestive tract. Nitrosamines can be found in meat and are powerful cancer causing agents considered responsible for various forms of cancer such as pancreatic, leukemia and brain cancers.
Harvey Kaufman, PhD, the cancer researcher, scientist and creator of the product, has just completed a study on End IV cancer patients. These are basically patients who are beyond further treatment. He is in the process of writing up the results and is hoping to have them published in The American Medical Journal. Although Waiora cannot make any claims, it can provide coincidental anomolies. All 65 patients started NCD 15 months ago, their cancers varied, they were given less than 6 weeks to live. As of today 51 are alive and cancer free.
If you still feel your cabinet full of over the counter medications and prescription drugs is preferable to a natural detoxifier, consider this. Treatment using NCD is as simple as the consumption of 10 drops of a tasteless liquid in water 3 times each day for one month. The maintenance dose is substantially less, costing just a few dollars each week.
If all the preliminary research and consumer product testimonials of NCD hold true, this product promises to be one of the most important discoveries in nutritional therapies and perhaps the biggest break-through in cancer prevention and treatment, replacing or at the very least complimenting current methods of treating cancer as well as a variety of other chronic diseases prevalent in today’s society.
Natural Cellular Defense is a simple answer to complex health issues currently being addressed to a very large degree by pharmaceutical drugs. No matter what supplement you may currently be taking, this is an unique element capable of detoxifying your body in a way never before possible. In just one month you could relieve a great deal of your body burden and have done much to regain your optimal health.
