Eric Bakker, the naturopath from New Zealand.
Thank you for coming back.
We're going to talk about chlorella, and cleansing,
and detox.
So, heavy metal detox is something that many
people ask me about.
"How can I remove mercury from the body?
How can I get rid of lead or cadmium or arsenic?"
"I've got uranium particles", you know, "I've
got a urinalysis done showing I've got uranium,
for example.
How do I get rid of this stuff out of the
body?"
Well some metals are more easy to remove than
others.
Aluminum, or what we say in New Zealand, aluminium,
is not as easy to remove for example as lead
would be.
Mercury is a lot tougher to remove, and uranium
is almost impossible to remove because of
how it gets really caught up in your bone
tissue, for example.
It's not an easy one to eradicate.
So, there are many different methods people
have tried over the years to remove heavy
metals, and I've tried all kinds of techniques.
There's products from different companies,
for example.
Biotrace I think is a company that make a
... In New Zealand anyway they've launched
a product called Heavy Metal Mover.
Quite an interesting product.
Thorne Research have brought out sulfidal
products which tend to bind really to the
sulfidal metals, the four classic ones, cadmium,
arsenic, mercury, and lead.
They tend to be bound to specific type of,
dietary supplements, for example, can be shifted
out of the body.
So your practitioner should be able to help
you with heavy metal detoxification.
One of the first things that you'll want to
do probably is a hair analysis, and you may
want to do a little bit of a urine testing,
provocation testing to see if metals can be
provoked from the body and pushed out.
And if you've got quite a large spill, it
could be a good indication that you've got
a fair amount of heavy metal accumulation
there.
But be careful because some doctors, as I
mentioned before, are one-trick ponies, and
everything is mercury problem.
So no matter what you go to that doctor for,
you need a mercury detox.
So just be careful, because it's easy to lose
quite a few thousand dollars, when you don't
want to lose a few thousand dollars.
Because there are also simpler methods of
getting rid of heavy metals from the body,
too.
One expert doctor I know in America said that
intravenous Vitamin C, along with a high chlorophyll
diet is all you need to remove most of the
metals from your body.
And this particular doctor's been doing these
techniques for decades.
There are doctors in Germany and Switzerland
that do a similar kind of thing with intravenous
therapies.
There are many different IV therapies that
really successfully help to remove loss of
metal from the body, more successfully than
you could attempt that at home.
But what are you going to do when you're at
home?
You've found out you've got mercury in your
body, or you've got some lead there, you want
to get rid of it.
So how do you get rid of it?
How do people in many countries get rid of
it that can't afford all this kind of money?
Well we've got cilantro, which is coriander,
or chlorophyll.
We've got chlorella.
I shouldn't say chlorophyll, we've got chlorella.
So with a combination of chlorella and cilantro
seems to work even better.
So chlorophyll has a really neat way of alkalizing
the body, but also of attracting and binding
to lots of heavy metal or heavy particles,
and safely removing them out of the body.
Chlorophyll is unique in that it also accelerates
natural killer cell activity, so it's good
for boosting immunity.
It seems to be also very effective from what
I've read for when people have had chemotherapy
or radiotherapy, so it's quite protective
of those kind of therapies as well.
So, one study followed people for two years
and found significant benefits.
Those receiving cancer treatments who were
taking chlorella versus those who weren't
taken the chlorella.
So if you are watching this and you're undergoing
chemotherapy or radiotherapy, I highly recommend
you take some chlorella.
It's certainly worth it.
So this is a little sort of green algae that
lives really in Asia, parts of Japan, I believe,
and I think Taiwan or Korea.
And it's harvested, and it's processed, and
it's super effective for cleansing the body.
It's a great alkalizer.
It's good for people who are transitioning
from a very poor diet, or crappy diet, onto
a healthier approach.
It's quite good for that, and it does form
quite a nice niche little product in a detoxification
protocol.
Talk to your practitioner more about the advantages
of chlorella, and how you can benefit from
that as part of a heavy metal cleansing approach.
So if you've got mercury fillings, which many
people have.
Some people have got 4, some got 8.
I had 13 fillings at one stage.
And now, I've got all my teeth all fixed up,
got all the mercury out a long time ago, but
just more recently got my teeth fixed.
So, if you have got amalgam fillings, I do
recommend that you do a bit of testing there
to see how much mercury is in the body.
I believe between two to three to four micrograms
per day is going to be leached into your body
from those fillings.
Now, some people may think that's a joke or
it doesn't affect them, and other people do.
So, it's up to you to make that call, make
that decision.
But do some analysis on yourself if you have
got fillings and you're worried about the
load of mercury you've got.
When I tested my mercury levels, about 30
odd years ago, they were through the roof.
They were really high.
They were off the chart, and I believe that
was part of the reason I did develop seriously
bad candida at that point.
It was a combination of high stress, antibiotics,
living in a crappy place, crappy lifestyle,
yeah, and all of those factors came together
and boof, I developed this really bad candida
case.
So if that's you, check out chlorella, because
it does really help with heavy metal.
Thanks for tuning in.
