IntraCellular Detox System—Glutathione + Bind
IntraCellular Detox System—Glutathione + Bind
Glutathione (GSH) G-CELL (GSHX)
- GSH resides in the cell — There are approximately 50-72 trillion cells in the body
- GSH is the mother of all antioxidants
- It is considered the strongest antioxidant in the world because it is what your own body produces
- Glutathione is a tri-peptide meaning it has 3 amino acids
It is 5000 times stronger than Vitamins C & E
- Vitamin C has 5 extra electrons to donate
- Vitamin E has 3 extra electrons to donate
- GSH has 1 million extra electrons to donate
*If you check Pub-Med, as of 5/22/13 there are 107,156 studies done on Glutathione for most every disease complex
*Also on PubMed as of 5/22/13 there are 2,806 research articles on Glutathione’s affect on aging
Raising cellular glutathione increase the release of toxins
Toxins are most always attached to fat molecules such as bile
How your body rids itself of toxins is directly related to NOT getting Cancer
Toxins are attached to fat molecules
GSH forces toxins to attach to fats (bile) which is then returned to the Liver
**You can never downgrade inflammation without cellular detoxification
BIND:
Bind is two varieties Activated Charcoal + Humates (Fulvic Acid)
Bind has the finest carbon/charcoal in the world
Charcoal can remove 3000 known drug residues
Charcoal resonates between 400-1000 angstroms
Bind is taken at bedtime because it absorbs everything during the night
Note: Those using sleep medication, should wait at least an hour before taking Bind. The Bind will remove the sleep medication.
If I myself had to choose just two supplements it would be these two.
The process is simple:
- Glutathione is needed for the cell to remove toxins–You must fix the cell in order to get well
- Bind at bedtime removes those toxins during the night.
These 2 products alone will do more than 10 other products combined.
It is the quality of ingredients that enable these products to work as well as they do across the board.

Celtic Sea Salt
Celtic Sea Salt® Shattering the Myths About One of Nature’s Most Necessary Nutrients
David Brownstein, MD
Contents of Refined Iodized Salt Versus Unrefined Celtic Sea Salt
[ahm-wp-tabular id=1536 template=bluedream]
There are many myths about salt. This article will address those myths and show you the benefits that unrefined sea salt can have on your health.
Myth 1: There is no difference between unrefined sea salt and refined table salt.
Myth 2: Salt = hypertension.
Myth 3: A low-salt diet is healthy
All of the above statements are false. The use of unrefined sea salt has proven to be a tremendous benefit for my patients and I have found it nearly impossible for someone to achieve their optimal health if they are salt-deficient.
Myth 1: There is no difference between unrefined sea salt and refined table salt.
Salt in its natural form is referred to as unrefined salt. Unrefined salt has not been altered by man. Therefore, it contains many different minerals and elements that are useful for the body. For example, unrefined salt, Celtic Sea Salt®, contains over 80 minerals and elements as contrasted with refined table salt, which only contains two major items—sodium and chloride.
Refined Salt
Most commercial refined salt has been harvested mechanically from various salt mines. Prior to mechanical evaporation, the brine is often treated with chemicals to remove minerals. These minerals are referred to as “impurities” and are sold to industry. The chemicals used to remove the “impurities” can include sulfuric acid or chlorine. All food-grade salt (i.e., refined salt) available in the U.S. must comply with the National Academy of Science’s Food Chemicals Codex Sodium, Chloride Monograph (1996). Up to 2 percent of refined salt may contain anti-caking, free flowing, or conditioning agents, which can be toxic to the body. These agents include sodium ferrocyanide, ammonium citrate, and aluminum silicate. Refined salt has iodide added to it (0.01 percent) to help prevent goiter. However, as I discuss in my book, Iodine, Why You Need It, Why You Can’t Live Without It, iodized salt does prevent goiter, but it does not provide enough iodine for optimal thyroid functioning as well as for the body’s iodine needs. The final purity of refined salt is between 99.7-99.95 percent “pure.” The “pure” refers to sodium and chloride content. The “impurities,” including healthy minerals and elements, have been removed from refined salt. The table above shows the major content of refined salt versus unrefined salt.
Major Content of Minerals and Elements in Unrefined Celtic Sea Salt
[ahm-wp-tabular id=1538 template=bluedream]
Unrefined salt contains all of the minerals and trace minerals necessary for optimal functioning of our bodies. The table on page 3 shows the actual contents of the major elements in unrefined Celtic Sea Salt. As can be seen from the tables, there is a tremendous difference between refined and unrefined salt. Refined salt is a toxic item that is devoid of minerals. It is a lifeless product that needs to be avoided. Unrefined salt, in its natural form, with its full complement of minerals should be the salt-of-choice.
Myth 2: Salt = Hypertension
I was taught in medical school that the use of salt would cause hypertension. I accepted this idea unquestionably. Practicing conventional medicine, I would instruct my patients to severely limit the salt use in their diet. For those with cardiovascular problems, my instructions were simple: no salt.
What was the result of these very low-salt diets? Rarely did I see a change in cardiovascular parameters, including blood pressure. Furthermore, patients had a hard time staying on a low-salt diet because food tasted so poor on it.
When I began to research what the literature actually said about the salt = hypertension hypothesis, I was astounded. There was little data to support the dogma that salt = hypertension for the vast majority of people. Furthermore, none of the studies looked at the use of unrefined salt, which contained over 80 essential minerals that are essential to maintaining a normal blood pressure.
Let us take a closer look at the literature. The first report of the link between salt and hypertension was reported in 1904. Ambard and Beujard reported that salt deprivation was associated with lowered blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Over the next 50 years, various animal models were examined to support the hypothesis of salt causing high blood pressure. In almost all of these studies huge amounts of refined salt were given to the animals to induce a hypertensive effect. The use of large amounts of a lifeless product devoid of minerals such as refined salt should have made the results of these studies suspect.
However, the elimination of the large amounts of refined salt on these overdosed rodents resulted in dramatic lowering of blood pressure. Medical researchers and conventional institutions seized on these results and erroneously extrapolated the results to the human population. Since then the dogma of salt = hypertension has been accepted as gospel. In 1979, the Surgeon General issued a report, based in part on the above studies, that claimed that salt was the cause of high blood pressure and a low-salt diet was necessary to combat this.
The INTERSALT Trial was the most popular single study that provided the “smoking gun” proving that salt = hypertension. The study looked at over 10,000 subjects from 52 centers in 39 countries. The authors looked at the relationship between electrolyte excretion (sodium in the urine) and blood pressure. This study showed a mild decrease in blood pressure (3-6mm Hg systolic and 0-3mm Hg diastolic) when there was a dramatic decrease in salt excretion.
The “smoking gun” found in this study was reported from 4 population centers that had significantly lowered salt in their diets and also had a significantly lowered blood pressure. These four populations were all from non-acculturated populations: Yanomamo and Xingu tribes in Brazil, and tribes in Kenya and Papua, New Guinea. These four population centers all were from areas of the world where the population had very low body weight, did not drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes in any appreciable amounts. The authors reported that blood pressure in these non-acculturated areas did not increase with age as it does in Western countries. However, living a primitive life in the jungle does not portend to a long life span. In fact, in the Yanomamo culture, rarely does anyone live beyond 50 years of age.
Numerous trials trying to look for a link between low sodium diets and lowered blood pressure have been published. Two authors looked at the results of 57 trials of people with normal blood pressure. A low-sodium diet resulted in a reduction of systolic blood pressure of 1.27mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure by 0.54mmHg as compared to a high sodium diet. These numbers are nothing to set national policy with. Many other studies have found similar findings: very modest blood pressure reduction when salt intake is lowered.
Every ten years, the U.S. government does an analysis of thousands of its citizens looking at various markers of health. One such marker has been the mineral intake and the sodium excretion. This study is known as the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).
Over the last 30 years, NHANES has found a correlation between inadequate levels of minerals (particularly potassium and calcium) and the presence of hypertension. Furthermore, higher dietary sodium levels were not associated with hypertension. There is enough evidence to discount the
myth that salt = hypertension. Good salt, unrefined sea salt, does not cause hypertension. In fact, its use can actually help prevent and treat hypertension.
Myth 3: A Low-Salt Diet is Healthy
What happens when the salt levels are lowered? If a low-salt diet was healthier you would expect lowered cardiovascular deaths and a longer life span.
Eleven blood pressure trials, which included follow-up from six months to seven years were reviewed. Researchers found that there was no difference in deaths and cardiovascular events between the low-salt groups and the high–salt groups.
NHANES data has shown that compared with a high-salt diet, a low-salt diet has been associated with a greater than 400 percent increase in risk of myocardial infarction (heart attack) in men.
How do you explain the higher risk of myocardial infarction? Low-salt diets have been shown to elevate fasting insulin levels. Insulin resistance is a widespread problem and is associated with dramatic increases in diabetes and cardiovascular disease. LDL cholesterol has also been shown to elevate in individuals consuming a low-salt diet. Elevated LDL cholesterol has been associated with the onset of cardiovascular disease.
A low-salt diet has never been proven to be a health benefit for the vast majority of people. As explained above, there are many studies showing the fallacies and dangers of a low-salt diet. My clinical experience has shown little benefit of a low-salt diet in improving any condition.
What about Unrefined Salt?
If salt does not cause hypertension and if a low-salt diet is not healthy, what type of salt should we eat and do we need salt?
As stated previously, unrefined salt contains over 80 minerals that are essential to life. It is this combination of sodium, chloride and minerals that make unrefined salt a healthy product for our bodies. As shown in NHANES, low mineral levels are associated with elevated blood pressures. Unrefined salt provides these minerals (plus other important trace minerals) that help improve all bodily systems including the immune system, glandular system and the nervous system.
Salt is the second major constituent in the body next to water. We need adequate amounts of salt for our adrenal glands to function normally. The adrenal glands are exquisitely sensitive to the sodium and mineral levels of the body. Adrenal dysfunction is occurring at epidemic rates presently. I have found it nearly impossible to rectify adrenal malfunction when there is a salt deficiency or mineral deficiency in the body. The only way to rectify this problem is with the use of unrefined salt.
Celtic Sea Salt® (the author has no financial interest in Celtic Sea Salt®) provides the body with a host of well absorbed minerals in the perfect balance to help improve adrenal problems as well as immune system and other disorders.
At the initial visit of every patient I do a blood analysis and a hair analysis looking at electrolyte and mineral levels in the body. Low electrolytes and low mineral levels are very common and are associated with a host of disorders including those mentioned above. The only way to provide the body with the basic raw materials it needs to overcome these disorders as well as perform at its optimal functioning is with supplying the body with an adequate amount of unrefined salt. If someone is not ingesting unrefined salt, they will be salt deficient.
I recommend starting out at 1/2tsp of unrefined salt per day (in the form of Celtic Sea Salt®) and ensuring an adequate water intake. The physiological responses are astounding. The immune system works better, energy levels improve and brain function dramatically improves. There are many more positive effects as detailed in Salt: Your Way To Health. If you have kidney disease, you must consult with your doctor before adding salt to your regimen.

Pharmaceutical Drugs vs. Guns and Videos
Pharmaceutical Drugs vs. Guns and Videos
My opinion:
This piece is about the Psychotropic Pharmaceuticals used by these kids who ultimately shot and killed many others often including themselves.
I am sending this out not because I am for or against gun regulation or I hate video games, but because it is the drugs not the guns or video games that have caused the problems.
Science does not even have a clue as to how the BRAIN works. So why are we allowing the pharmaceutical industry to convince Doctors to use these powerful drugs on any person let alone young children whose brains have not even fully developed?
Parents now are using Ritalin and Adderall (both amphetamines) with their HEALTHY children in the hopes that “speeding” them up will make them smarter in school.
The Newtown shooter was also on a plethora of psychotropic drugs but we may never be allowed to find out exactly what they were or at what age he began using them.
I absolutely acknowledge there is a problem in the first place that must be dealt with. Perhaps looking into the Brain/Gut Connection; Methylation Depletion; Neurotransmitter Amino Acids; and most importantly Diet may provide a better less damaging long term prognosis.
Psychotropic / Anti-Psychotic Drugs are a 16 billion dollar industry. With Congress being controlled by Big Pharma, we as citizens have little power legislatively but great power personally.
I want every parent out there to think long and hard before using the pharmaceutical approach to mental imbalances not only for their children but also for themselves!
Here’s the full article by Dan Roberts (Ammoland.com)
Nearly every mass shooting incident in the last twenty years, and multiple other instances of suicide and isolated shootings all share one thing in common, and it’s not the weapons used.
The overwhelming evidence points to the signal largest common factor in all of these incidents is the fact that all of the perpetrators were either actively taking powerful psychotropic drugs or had been at some point in the immediate past before they committed their crimes.
Multiple credible scientific studies going back more then a decade, as well as internal documents from certain pharmaceutical companies that suppressed the information show that SSRI drugs ( Selective Serotonin Re-Uptake Inhibitors ) have well known, but unreported side effects, including but not limited to suicide and other violent behavior. One needs only Google relevant key words or phrases to see for themselves. www.ssristories.com is one popular site that has documented over 4500 “Mainstream Media ” reported cases from around the World of aberrant or violent behavior by those taking these powerful drugs.
The following list of mass shooting perpetrators and the drugs they were taking or had been taking shortly before their horrific actions was compiled and published to Facebook by John Noveske, founder and owner of Noveske Rifleworks just days before he was mysteriously killed in a single car accident. Is there a link between Noveske’s death and his “outting” of information numerous disparate parties would prefer to suppress, for a variety of reasons?
I leave that to the individual readers to decide. But there is most certainly a documented history of people who “knew too much” or were considered a “threat” dying under extraordinarily suspicious circumstances.
From Katherine Smith, a Tennessee DMV worker who was somehow involved with several 9/11 hijackers obtaining Tennessee Drivers Licenses, and was later found burned to death in her car, to Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Gary Webb, who exposed a CIA Operation in the 80’s that resulted in the flooding of LA Streets with crack cocaine and was later found dead from two gunshot wounds to the head, but was officially ruled as a “suicide”, to Frank Olson, a senior research micro biologist who was working on the CIA’s mind control research program MKULTRA.
After Olson expressed his desire to leave the program, he was with a CIA agent in a New York hotel room, and is alleged to have committed “suicide” by throwing himself off the tenth floor balcony. In 1994, Olson’s sons were successful in their efforts to have their fathers body exhumed and reexamined in a second autopsy by James Starrs, Professor of Law and Forensic science at the National Law Center at George Washington University. Starr’s team concluded that the blunt force trauma to the head and injury to the chest had not occurred during the fall but most likely in the room before the fall. The evidence was called “rankly and starkly suggestive of homicide.” Based on his findings, in 1996 the Manhattan District Attorney opened a homicide investigation into Olson’s death, but was unable to find enough evidence to bring charges.
On to the list of mass shooters and the stark link to psychotropic drugs-
• Eric Harris age 17 (first on Zoloft then Luvox) and Dylan Klebold aged 18 (Columbine school shooting in Littleton, Colorado), killed 12 students and 1 teacher, and wounded 23 others, before killing themselves. Klebold’s medical records have never been made available to the public.

• Kevin Rider, age 14, was withdrawing from Prozac when he died from a gunshot wound to his head. Initially it was ruled a suicide, but two years later, the investigation into his death was opened as a possible homicide. The prime suspect, also age 14, had been taking Zoloft and other SSRI antidepressants.
• Alex Kim, age 13, hung himself shortly after his Lexapro prescription had been doubled.
• Diane Routhier was prescribed Welbuytrin for gallstone problems. Six days later, after suffering many adverse effects of the drug, she shot herself.

• What drugs was Jacob Tyler Roberts on, age 22, killed 2 injured 1, Clackamas Or?
• What drugs was Adam Peter Lanza on, age 20, Killed 26 and wounded 2 in Newtown Ct?
Those focusing on further firearms bans or magazine restrictions are clearly focusing on the wrong issue and asking the wrong questions, either as a deliberate attempt to hide these links, or out of complete and utter ignorance.
Don’t let them! Force our elected “representatives” and the media to cast a harsh spotlight on this issue. Don’t stop hounding them until they do.

HCL—Hydrochloric Acid Deficiency
HCL—Hydrochloric Acid Deficiency
For my entire practice I have dealt with patients suffering from HCL deficiency—BUT think they have too much acid and take proton pump inhibitors such as Prilosec or Nexium which cause malnutrition. Maalox, Mylanta and Tums also proton pump inhibitors are now “old school”
35 years of clinical experience has shown me 99% of patients suffering from indigestion, heartburn, belching, bloating etc. etc. etc. are all due to>
Here are just a few symptoms:
- Acne Inner Ear Infections
- Eczema Iron-deficiency anemia
- Asthma Rhinitis (Nasal Inflammation)
- Diarrhea Candida (Yeast Infections)
- Hay fever Esophageal/Stomach Disorders
- Dermatitis General malabsorption of Nutrients
- Gallstones General Indigestion / Heartburn
- Stomach ulcer Acetaminophen-induced Liver Toxicity
- Chronic hives Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Food allergies Thyroid Malfunction
- Arteriosclerosis (hardening/loss of elasticity in the arteries)
- Poor cognitive function and the onset of dementia
- Low bone mineral density and osteoporosis
- Leg and foot cramps because you are not absorbing minerals
How to fix it:
In the middle of your next solid meal, take one 200 mg dose of HCL. The response you are looking for is a warm sensation in your stomach, like if you just drank a cup of very hot tea. It is not going to feel as if you just drank napalm. It is unlikely you will feel any response to one capsule.
At each subsequent meal, increase the dose of HCL by one capsule/tablet until you can feel the warmth in your stomach. DO NOT EXCEED SEVEN CAPSULES (1400 mg HCL). If you do get an uncomfortable burning sensation from the HCL, just drink a glass of water. Don’t worry; in fact, if a small dose of HCL produces burning, it is not because you have adequate HCL at all. If HCL supplements produce burning it indicates rather that your mucosal barrier is damaged! The HCL is producing burning because the acid is burning exposed tissues.
Under normal, healthy circumstances, a person should be able to tolerate a lot of Betaine HCL. HCL only contains about 2-3% hydrogen. The clinical response that occurs with Betaine HCL supplementation is more due to the Betaine than from HCL!
The dose that produces a warm sensation indicates the degree of HCL deficiency (low stomach acid) that you have. If you need all seven capsules, you have severely low stomach acid—that is, your body should be producing nearly 1400 mg of HCL on its own, but isn’t. If you need just one capsule, you know your stomach is not producing quite enough acid, and now is the time to prevent a serious problem from developing. –
VERY IMPORTANT!
To treat low stomach acid, identify the amount of HCL needed to produce the warm sensation, subtract one capsule (200 mg) from that dose and take that amount at every meal. Smaller meals might require less supplemental HCL and larger meals might require more.

Newsletter 16 – Sabbath
I recommended this book numerous times since studying with Wayne Muller and his organization Bread for the Journey back in the 90’s.
I am recommending it again because the #1 problem with most every single one of my patients is STRESS!
Americans do not value stess reduction and pay a huge price for not doing so!
It has been said it takes 12 years to recover from just 1 year of stress.
I am sincerely asking you to read this book and to begin taking one full day off per week and make that day about you. Learn the sacred rythym of rest and understand why Sabbath has existed for millenia. Initially this may be painful – after a few weeks,you will never want to go back.
You may think you know what Sabbath means but you really don’t. Read the book!
Furthermore, even though you are taking a full day off; you wind up getting more done in the remaining six days; and done with less stress.
This is the best advise I can give you to begin this Healthy New Year
To your health,
