Heavy Metals: Toxic metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium and arsenic can accumulate in our bodies over time and put an enormous burden on our immune and nervous systems, and make our bodies work overtime to stay healthy. Eventually our bodies lose the ability to keep up with the excess demand and symptoms such as chronic fatigue, brain fog, irritability, and a host of other symptoms and conditions can manifest. Zeolite can trap these metals in its cage-like structure for safe removal. Once the heavy metal burden is lifted your body can start functionally at its peak potential again.
Environmental Toxicants: In the 21st century we face an unprecedented number of toxic stressors in our daily lives. From the air you breathe, to the food you eat, to the water you may be drinking – toxicants are everywhere. Over time these toxic substances accumulate in your body wreaking havoc on your health. Fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, a weakened immune system, and countless health issues are common side effects when these toxins build up. Since most of these toxic elements have a positive charge they will fall victim to zeolite’s strong binding capacity for safe removal from the body.
Mycotoxins: Mold toxicity is increasingly becoming recognized as a serious problem and a player in a number of chronic conditions. Mold toxins (mycotoxins) can result in strong immune responses that lead to a state of chronic inflammation and hypersensitivity. Zeolite has been shown to bind Aflotoxins and Ochratoxin A.
Microbial Toxins: When microbes get out of balance in your body some of them start releasing toxic elements as waste products resulting in a constant supply of inflammation and irritation. These microbes turn in to little “toxin factories” that are constantly producing biotoxins that are putting extra stress on your system and often resulting in uncomfortable symptoms. Many of the symptoms that result from conditions associated with microbial imbalance such as Lyme Disease result primarily from the toxins produced by microbes, not the microbes themselves. These toxins make their way to the bloodstream where the immune system mounts an attack and inflammation occurs as a result. Zeolite helps bind many of these toxins before the they have a chance to wreak havoc on the body.
Metabolic Waste: As our bodies are hard at work day and night trying to remain in balance, toxic byproducts are produced which are known as metabolic waste. Ammonia is an example of a metabolic waste product produced by the body. Ammonia is highly toxic and can wreak havoc on your body if not effectively cleared. Ammonia is produced in a number of ways in the body including during protein digestion. Your liver takes the ammonia and converts it to urea which is then filtered through the kidneys and out of your body. Urea is also toxic but not as bad as ammonia. The process in which the body converts ammonia to urea is called the urea cycle. If your body’s ability to complete this process efficiently is impaired, as is often the case with poor liver function, ammonia builds up in the blood and becomes very toxic- causing damage to the central nervous system and can even cross into the brain where it is toxic to brain cells. If kidney function is impaired urea may build up which is also toxic. The good news is that zeolite binds to both ammonia and urea!
Histamine: As the body is hard at work protecting us from a daily invasion of toxic stressors, inflammatory substances such as histamine are produced by the immune system. If there is an excess of histamine produced it could result in a number of symptoms. Many people with overactive immune systems or with conditions such as Mast Cell Activation Syndrome produce a lot of histamine and often experience symptoms such as hives, itchy skin, flushing, and headaches on a regular basis. Zeolite can bind to excess histamine greatly reducing symptoms of histamine intolerance and can even help with seasonal allergies.
