Angie, who originally told me about NCD, put together some information about free radicals in the body. I've heard this type of thing before, but I'll include her version here since it's handy:
"You have in your body tiny pieces of metal, like mercury (from your fillings) or lead, or even iron. They are like time bombs, waiting to cause trouble. These are so tiny that you could say they are almost the size of atoms. Perhaps several atoms, but these are tiny pieces of metal which are, actually, toxic.
"They are still little appreciated by traditional medicine -- but they cause most health problems! They certainly cause heart disease and cancer!
"These pieces of metal can be so small that they can easily get embedded inside some tissue or organ of the body. This little piece of toxic metal can get stuck inside the liver, for instance, or the kidneys, or the heart, or just about anywhere. You could consider that this organ has a "sliver," or a very tiny piece of metal sticking into it.
"There is a mechanism, actually, whereby the tissue or organ tries to protect itself from this dangerous toxic metal, and can grow more tissue around the toxic metal, to cut it off from other parts of the body.
"But, there it is, still, this tiny sliver of toxic metal, stuck into your body somewhere. You could have millions of these!
"So much for mercury fillings!
"When a free radical happens to bump into one of these tiny pieces of toxic metal, instead of a simple chain-reaction of ONE new free radical being produced, there could be MILLIONS of new free radical produced from this one impact.
"The free radical from your latest meal of French Fries, is moving along inside your body, hitting various things, getting stopped, starting a new free radical moving along, and somewhere along the way this little murderous particle hits a tiny piece of toxic metal.
"We now have 1,000,000 new free radicals created in that split second. Each of them moves off in some new direction, spreading all through the body. Many of them will hit other pieces of toxic metal, causing other MILLIONS of free radicals to become newly created, each of them ready to do damage to your body.
"So, while we try to find ways to stop free radical from creating chain reactions in your body, we should be far more concerned with preventing these free radicals from ever coming into contact with toxic metals in the body. The best way I know is to remove the toxins and metals with Natural Cellular Defense!"
