| In our preliminary clinical research at the Tree of Life we have been able to measure the incidence of twenty-six toxins, including heavy metals, depleted uranium, and a variety of pesticides and herbicides. Usually people have all twenty-six that we check for. University research has shown that NCD is effective for removing heavy metals; when we combine it with our green juice fasting we have found a powerful synergy that greatly accelerates the removable of toxins and thus optimizes our ability to rapidly bring diabetics back to a healthy physiology. | | Others, like fluorine in our water and a variety of pesticides and herbicides, are metabolic poisons that may further derange the already deranged metabolism of diabetics.
Since approximately 80 percent of Type-2 diabetics are overweight and most of these toxins are stored in the fat tissues, as people begin to lose weight these toxins are released into the bloodstream and lymph in higher concentrations. | | 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. Although there is not a lot of data available, it does suggest that the heavy metals, especially arsenic, mercury, cadmium and lead, interfere with the specific function of insulin and the insulin receptors. | | Presently, both these sources are becoming more and more polluted as toxic chemicals, acid rain, raw sewage, agricultural herbicides, pesticide runoff, chlorination, fluoridation, sewage landfills, and radioactive wastes are either dumped into or seep into them. One of the best-known examples of toxic water pollution to date is the infamous Love Canal, where according to the New York Times in 1984, thousands of tons of toxic chemicals were dumped, including 60 pounds of the deadly poison dioxin. | | And if there is toxicity in their air, water, and/or food environment—such as chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, larvicides, fungicides, detergents, bleaches, toxic solvents—then these toxins accumulate in the animal. Dairy products contain five times as many pesticides as commercial fruits and vegetables. And flesh foods, such as fish or chicken, which are higher up on the food chain, contain fifteen times as many pesticide residues as commercial fruits and vegetables. |

Western uses of licorice include a number of relatively new uses for the root. Licorice is an effective adaptogen, immune amphoteric, nootropic, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective agent.
As an adaptogen, licorice benefits the HPA axis function and the sympathoadrenal system (SAS). | | Chemical: Caused by exposure to toxins, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, heavy metals, household and industrial chemicals, fumes, dust, smoke, tobacco, and synthetic drugs.
Environmental: Exposure to extreme cold or heat, noise, ultraviolet sunlight, changes in barometric pressure or altitude, allergens, xenoestrogens (foreign substances that imitate the effects of estrogen), electromagnetic influences (microwaves, radio waves, electric high voltage lines), and radiation. |

This is all perfectly allowed and tolerated by the FDA as well as all virtually every media outlet in the world. Cable news stations, magazines, newspapers and other media giants are all too happy to take money from junk food manufacturers and run their advertisements claiming their foods are "all natural. |

"Eat whole foods. It's crucial. Humans were meant to eat whole foods, not Pop Tarts. If you eat a whole food diet and then eat a processed food, there are significant effects on intestinal functioning.

See book keywords and concepts |  In conventional agriculture, genetically modified strains of soy are often cultivated, and the crop may be heavily treated with herbicides. It's best to consume organic soy products whenever possible. It's also a good idea to avoid processed forms of soy, such as soy protein isolates, meat substitutes, and soy milk; these contain high levels of compounds that can interfere with thyroid function. Other than soy, foods high in phytoestrogens include flaxseeds, whole grains, and nuts and seeds.33
If you're not fond of soy or are concerned about eating it, other dietary approaches exist. |

Biotechnology's promise was "cleaner" ag production inputs. But bovine growth hormone fails that test, since indicated by Monsanto's research files, tremendously higher milk hormone levels result from bGH treatments.
Over the past decade, one of the strongest trends in consumer food marketing has been the shift towards "organic" foods, away from heavy use of pesticides and herbicides. The public wants a food supply free of chemicals and hormones. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Many different types of synthetic chemicals can have estrogenic effects, particularly herbicides, pesticides, and industrial by-products from the manufacture of plastics and paper, as well as from the incineration of hazardous wastes.
Each year an estimated 2,000 new synthetic chemicals enter the world market, swelling the planetary total to well over 100,000. All of these are completely foreign and potentially harmful to the function of the digestive system and endocrine glands. | | Unavoidably, many of us carry around an internal chemical cocktail of toxins we've absorbed: industrial by-products (coal tar or fuel exhaust), pesticides, herbicides, household contaminants (found in cleaners, paints, plastics, and solvents), and biological contaminants (pollens, molds, dust mites, and parasites). We are also exposed to toxins from processed or genetically altered foods, alcohol, tap water (which usually contains heavy metals), and even newspapers (from the inks used in printing). | | Toxins That Can Poison the Liver

1) Does your farm use Roundup or other chemical herbicides or pesticides? Do not purchase nuts from farms that use such chemicals.
2) What is the maximum temperature your mac nuts are exposed to during drying? (The lower the temperature, the better. Most farms dry their nuts by roasting them, which of course "cooks" the nut and destroys some of its nutritional value.)
Enjoy your mac nuts! |
Herbert Ross, DC with Keri Brenner, L.Ac.
See book keywords and concepts | | Since many pesticides and herbicides are estrogenic, it's ideal to buy and eat organic foods whenever possible, including fruits and vegetables.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy
According to Dr. Julian Whitaker, easing andropause requires its own hormone therapy: testosterone replacement. Studies have shown that testosterone replacement can heighten sex drive, increase bone density, and improve mood and sleep patterns, among other effects. If you are considering testosterone replacement, the first step is a blood or saliva test to assess your current levels of the hormone, says Dr. Whitaker. |

South Kona Macs has over 350 macadamia nut trees, and they harvest and process them in a unique way using their own special nut cracking and drying technology.

The largest chemical company in the United States, Dow Chemical is a leading producer of pesticides, plastics, hydrocarbons, and other chemicals. Its production processes and practices have poisoned the environment as well as consumers and workers, sometimes with dire consequences for entire communities. |

See book keywords and concepts | | More insidious is flood of synthetic estrogen-mimicking chemicals, known as environmental estrogens or xenoestrogens, which are increasingly pervasive in our food, air, and water. herbicides, pesticides, by-products of plastics manufacturing, and many other synthetic chemicals mimic estrogen once they enter the body. The body responds as if it is real estrogen, resulting in estrogen dominance and all the problems that imbalance carries with it.
Environmental estrogens aren't just a problem in highly polluted areas. |

See book keywords and concepts |  There are concerns about pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics, genetically-modified food, mobile phones, microwaves, amalgam fillings, falling sperm counts, mad cows, MMR - even milk. Farmed salmon is a Trojan Horse for carcinogens. Obesity and diabetes are on the march. There is a mass of documentation on all this. So what is the European Commission's big idea?

In other words, highly contaminated samples were not submitted to the government.

Newman: Right, and then we are feeding this to our pets. A lot of diets recommend liver as a protein source. It is high in iron, and it's good with flavor and the pets love it. I mean, I use a little bit of liver as flavoring in our canned food. A little bit each day isn't going to hurt. |
