Zeolite Day 10

I awoke today with a bit of a headache, probably because I didn't have enough water yesterday.

The girls are totally back to normal now, except for Demi's cold and Dana's ear infection. This cold has lasted so long that I wonder if the zeolite is "pushing" the germs out. Her mucous has been thicker and darker than before starting NCD (almost like it made the cold worse).

Detoxing, however, should allow the body's natural immune system to work more efficiently, which should mean that the white blood cells fight the germs off like normal, just faster. I'm not seeing that here.

This is my last day on the cleansing dosage of 10 drops. For the record, my bottle of drops has lasted for longer than the 300 drops they say is in the bottle. Together, Demi and I have been taking 45 drops/day, which means a bottle should last for about a week. Let me count... We're well over 400 drops and it's still not empty, although we'll probably run out today as it's getting harder to squeeze. I would guess that on a "super" dose of 15 drops, 3x/day, a bottle would last at least 10 days, which would mean a 4-pack would last over a month.

Zeolite Day 9

Ok. Definitely a mistake to give Demi 15 drops yesterday. I took her back to 3 drops this morning after only 2 doses yesterday.

I don't know if it was a strange coincidence or a result of NCD, but Demi got sick and Dana said her tummy hurt last night.

According to other information I've read, a light feeling of nausea is not uncommon in the early stages of NCD, particularly on a high dosage. I think the drops I gave them yesterday were too much too fast for the girls.

This experience tells me that NCD is indeed detoxifying the body. Other people that I've talked to who are on NCD tell me that the process seems to involve the NCD pushing the impurities out of the body to finally get rid of them. For example, I've had an unusual amount of acne since I've been on NCD. Nothing major, just annoying whiteheads. My supplier mentioned that her daughter had the same problem, but they cleared up over time and now her skin is perfectly clear. I'll let you know if/when that happens.

Make sure you don't get too sick by following the label! For serious ailments in adults, 15 drops seem to work well. My children were just too small (30-35lbs) for that dosage. Even with 15 drops, adults may feel nausea.

UK Company Recognizes Value of Zeolite

I've read quite a few things on the internet trying to learn about zeolite. The problem with everything that I've read is that it was either very scientific (talking about crystalline forms and stuff) or published (in some way, shape, or form) by Waiora, the distributor of Natural Cellular Defense (NCD).

I take everything I read from Waiora with a grain of salt, considering what they have to gain from the sale of the product. Because of that, I've been looking for some independent source of information which might corroborate Waiora's claims of the benefits of zeolite as a supplement. Today, I finally found something: A UK company attempted to create a dry capsule version of zeolite because of the benefits it showed to animals. The ACNFP's (UK's FDA equivalent)response, from an official government agency, mentioned benefits of zeolite:

• "Based on [zeolite's] established ability to bind heavy metals,
  the applicant anticipates that the [zeolite capsules] will also be purchased by companies who
  handle toxic and/or radioactive metals or by hospitals and/or public authorities who
  may wish to stock the [zeolite capsules] in case of possible contamination by radioactive materials."
• "The applicant has also provided studies that they believe demonstrate that the
  addition of clinoptilolite into the diet helps to protect the animals from the effects of
  mycotoxins such as aflatoxins, which are thought to bind to the clinoptilolite and are
  subsequently excreted from the body. The authors of these studies state that
  addition of clinoptilolite to animal feed has resulted in measurable improvements in
  the health of pigs, sheep and chickens."

The document also said that the agency found absolutely nothing harmful about zeolite.

Although the government paper says nothing of the efficacy of zeolite in any form, it acknowledges the ability of zeolite to bind with heavy metals and cancer-causing agents and excrete them from the body.

A major difference between this company and Waiora is that this company was planning to make a powder-based zeolite capsule, whereas Waiora holds the U.S. patent for the liquid form of zeolite distributed as Natural Cellular Defense (NCD). Presumably, the liquid form should allow for better absorption in the body and therefore better results. We'll see on that.

Zeolite Day 8

We've been on Natural Cellular Defense (NCD) for a week now.
Since nothing with Demi has changed in a week, I bumped up her dosage from 5 to 15 drops, 3x/day. 15 seems to be the "magic" dosage to fix something. Hopefully this will kick her cold out. Of course, since she's had this cold for around 3 wks, it's probably close to going away on its own.

No significant changes for me yet (I've been on the "cleansing" dosage of 10 drops, 3x/day) after a week. Minor changes include:

• maybe more regularity
• increased acne
• I had what seemed to be the beginnings of a cold when I started, which seems to be completely gone now. Not sure if I really had one or not.
• potentially more stamina

I can't say for sure whether any of the minor changes are due to NCD or changes in the weather. ;) Since I have no major issues, it makes sense that I wouldn't see any drastic changes.

Zeolite Day 7

Demi seems to be speaking with greater clarity, but I'm chalking that up to my hopeful imagination. I suspect it's because we've been working on the same thing for the past three weeks and she's finally getting it. Nothing spectacular there.

Demi has also been eating a bit better, but I'm not giving NCD credit for that since she had started eating better 6 wks ago over Christmas Break.

Plus, how could the same product increase her appetite while decreasing mine? I'm open to the possibility that detoxification and proper pH balance could lead the body to set the proper appetite (which would be less for me and more for her), but I'm reserving judgment on that point.
