New Orleans' Toxic Soup Is Served Up All Over America
-- A Guest Commentary
November 03, 2005 — By Dr. James Martin, The Martin Clinic
.. So many have put their trust, along with the health and well being of our country, in government agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), National Institute of Health (NIH) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), but the proverbial levee won't hold here either. To date the EPA has approved over 80,000 synthetic chemicals that continue to be released into the environment. We are told that these toxins are at "acceptable" levels but common sense tells us otherwise. ...
A study released this summer by the Environmental Work Group (EWG) tested umbilical cord blood of infants born in the U.S. and found an average of 200 industrial chemicals and pollutants. In total, tests identified 287 chemicals of which 180 cause cancer, 217 are toxic to the brain and nervous system and 208 are linked to birth defects or abnormal development.
Birds and Lighting,
PLAIN COMMON SENSE VS. SCIENTIFIC THEORETICAL IRRATIONALITY
by Dr. John N. Ott
International Journal of Biosocial Research, Special Subject Issue Volume 7, 1985
.. While glass itself stops most of the ultraviolet rays in sunlight, various types of coatings are available that are guaranteed to shut out virtually all the ultraviolet and also infrared parts of the full natural sunlight spectrum. This is because infrared produces excessive heat and because of all the talk about ultraviolet light causing skin cancer, cataracts, and being generally hazardous to one's health. ...
When it was found that giving a little extra oxygen to premature babies in their incubators in order to give them a better start in life caused blindness, brain tissue damage, deafness and other abnormalities, the practice of giving extra oxygen was discontinued. Fortunately, no one jumped to the conclusion that this proved oxygen is hazardous to one's health and that henceforth everyone must learn to live without any oxygen. This, of course, sounds utterly ridiculous, but nevertheless this is exactly what is being done with regard to ultraviolet light. There is no doubt that too much ultraviolet can be harmful, but in so completely protecting ourselves from any trace amounts of it we are creating a deficiency in a very important life-supporting energy. ..
"Money in the Bank" is a new, quite practical method of measuring research results being used in the poultry industry and is also of special interest to anyone with a background in banking. It seems to speak louder than all the papers published in the scientific literature. In days gone by, when chickens were kept outdoors, a laying hen was profitably productive for five years. Now, under the new "improved" indoor mechanized methods in poorly lighted windowless buildings, the hens only last for 13 months and then must be replaced at a cost of $125,000 per standard 50,000-bird house. However, when the latest type of radiation-shielded, full spectrum fixtures (now known as the “Ott-Lite”) was installed, the hens remained at peak production for 3 years. ...
However, ... on an annual basis, the birds ate $19,700 less feed per 50,000 bird house; laid 8.5% more eggs, or $39,800 more in total sales; cracked 2% fewer eggs, saving $20,000; while laying larger eggs worth an additional $7,800. Add to this that the birds did not have to be debeaked, because there was no cannibalism, saving another $4,000 in labor, thereby making a grand total of $91,300 more profit to the farmer (in addition to the $125,000 savings in replacement costs). Another advantage with potentially far reaching implications is that the eggs produced under the radiation shielded, full spectrum fluorescent fixtures contained 22% less cholesterol. ...
Ultraviolet light is one of the best producers of negative ions, and Albright further advises that where the radiation-shielded, full-spectrum (with a little added ultraviolet) Ott-Lite have been installed, the ion balance equals out at about 450 positive and 450 negative, which is considered ideal. People who had been working with VDTs in the areas where the new lighting has been installed and who had been complaining about all the health problems: eye strain, headache, fatigue, as well as more serious things associated particularly with VDTs, now say all their problems seem to have vanished into thin air. Preliminary figures do show definite substantial increases in work production and less absenteeism. Sounds too good to be true, but time will tell.
In addition to the usual blood chemistry tests done in the past, some doctors are now examining the blood's physical appearance using dark field microscopy (Livcell Analysis). Dr. James H. Martin of Sarasota is utilizing this technique, and we have been working together to ...
Florida Doctor Addresses Toxicity In Autism Spectrum Patients
http://www.prnewsnow.com/...
April 21, 2005 -- As researchers address the alarming increase in cases of Autism Spectrum-related disorders, a key factor is emerging: Toxic overload ...
In just the last few weeks, researchers from around the globe have reported links between autism and a mutated cancer gene; autism and deficient antioxidant levels; autism and mirror neuron dysfunction; autism and mercury; and autism and vaccines. "While these researchers look to uncover and explain possible causes for specific symptoms, I see pieces of a puzzle coming together," says Dr. Martin. "The vast majority of juvenile patients who arrive at the Clinic with histories of Attention Deficit Disorder/Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD), Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), and other autism spectrum issues will present with high levels of neurotoxins, like heavy metals and pesticides, along with gut problems from yeast overgrowth," observes Martin, a Chiropractic physician with 29 years experience in treating patients with environmental health issues.
According to a 2004 report by the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC),
exposure to toxic chemicals contributes to increases in such childhood diseases as asthma, leukemia, brain cancer, birth defects and learning, behavioral and developmental disabilities. "Today's children are exposed to more toxins and are carrying around the greatest toxic overload mankind has ever experienced and the burden is compromising their systems in ways doctors, scientists and other researchers never anticipated," Dr. Martin explains.
The Martin Clinic offers NutraScan Bio-Resonance testing which examines urine and saliva for over 550 known toxicants, including chemicals and heavy metals, pesticides, dyes, parasites, bacteria, molds, viruses and fungi. ...
"Germs in the Office"
Source: AWAKE! January 2007
University of Arizona microbiologists measured bacteria in the offices in a number of U.S. cities. They found that "the five most contaminated spots were (in order) phones, desktops, water fountain handles, microwave door handles, and keyboards," says the Globe and Mail newspaper. According to the report, "the average desktop is home to 100 times more bacteria than a kitchen table and 400 times more than the average toilet seat."
Comment:
"Before you douse your desktop or spritz your phone with a toxic disenfectant, consider these alternatives. White vinegar kills over 99% of dangerous germs. Grain alcohol is an excellent disenfectant, used daily at Nutrition Wellness Center for cleaning purposes. Limonene Oil is a pleasant citrus-derived product we offer...a few drops added to water makes a powerful and inexpensive cleaning agent.
As an air freshener, we often mix Limonene Oil, EE Oil, and WO Oil herbal oils, (all available at Nutrition Wellness Center) with water, shake and mist into the air. For more information on the many purposes and health benefits of EE Oil and WO Oil, call or email us for a free information sheet on these products. ...
Streptococcus colonies can thrive anywhere, causing a sore throat (strep throat) or elsewhere in the body, emitting phenol. Phenol causes pain in tissues and joints, and often is a culprit in inflammatory conditions.
Staphlococcus strains can live on the skin, causing pimples, acne, cysts or boils.
It can hide in the sinus cavities, causing colds, nasal infections and sinusitis. When colonies of staph invade the mouth and gums.....abcesses, cavities and other serious dental problems may result. Staphlococcus is also a factor in heart disease.
Also found in individuals with heart disease is adenovirus.
This virus may also cause colds, headaches and or fatigue....or it may just lie-in-wait until we become run down or over-stressed, before it causes symptoms. Chronic sinus and respiratory conditions almost always have yeast, mold or fungus as a major factor also.
The GOOD NEWS is that these interior pests can be identified using Nutrascan Testing, and can be easily eliminated, most often without resorting to toxic prescription drugs.
For thousands of years, healers in China, India and other lands have resolved health problems and cared for people WITHOUT the need for modern chemical drugs. Many of the herbs used effectively for centuries are contained in the liquid herbal tinctures we use at Nutrition Wellness Center. ...

Fluoride Accumulates in the Pineal Gland.
Fluoride, added to the water supply of many cities and counties and sold by WalMart in its nursery water, has a tendency to accumulate not only in developing teeth causing discoloration, and in bones making them brittle. The mineral is associated with cancer and it also accumulates in the pineal gland, an important hormone control center, where it wreaks considerable havoc. Paul Connett, of Fluoride Action Network comments on Jennifer Luke's research which was part of her (1998) PhD thesis and had just been published (2007) in Caries Research under the title: Fluoride Deposition in the Aged Human Pineal Gland.
Fluoride is a poison, yet we add it to our water and toothpaste and even call it a supplement, although it has no nutritional value. Its medicinal value -- the prevention of tooth decay -- is the official explanation for adding the toxic mineral to the water supply. But that value is far outweighed by its toxic side effects.
We also use fluoride in many household items, such as non-stick frying pans, high-tech water repellent fabrics and others. ..
The use of fluoride for "health" reasons is one of the great insanities of our times. Could it be just by chance that the Germans and Russians both used fluoride to make prisoners stupid and docile or that the US government faced legal action over the toxic effects in the environment of this nuclear waste by-product? ...
When (Jennifer) Luke found out that the pineal gland -- a little gland in the center of the brain, responsible for a very large range of regulating activities (it produces serotonin and melatonin) --was also a calcifying tissue, like the teeth and bones, she hypothesized it would concentrate fluoride to very high levels. The gland is not protected by the blood brain barrier and has a very high perfusion rate of blood, second only to the kidney.
Luke had 11 cadavers analyzed in the UK. As she predicted she found astronomically high levels of fluoride in the calcium hydroxy apatite crystals produced by the gland. The average was 9000 ppm and went as high as 21,000 in one case. These levels are at, or higher, than fluoride levels of people suffering from skeletal fluorosis.
Luke hypothesizes that one of the four enzymes needed to convert the amino acid tryptophan (from the diet) into melatonin is being inhibited by fluoride. It could be one of the two enzymes which covert tryptophan to serotonin or one of two which convert serotonin to melatonin.
Significance? Huge.
Melatonin is responsible for regulating all kinds of activities and there is a vast amount of work investigating its possible roles in aging, cancer and many other life processes. The one activity that Luke is particularly interested in is the onset of puberty. In her gerbil study she found that the high fluoride treated animals were reaching puberty earlier than the low fluoride ones.
Dr. Martin's Comments:
... With so many Americans ALREADY suffering with fatigue, overweight and lowered metabolic rates, we wonder how accumulated fluoride is adding to widespread thyroid dysfunction?
And as far as brittle bones, HIP FRACTURES are becoming more and more common in the US, causing pain, suffering and extended hospital stays among the elderly. HOW MANY BROKEN HIPS may have been avoided if toxic fluoride had not been allowed to accumulate? ...
At NUTRITION WELLNESS CENTER, we make it OUR BUSINESS to identify the frequency of fluoride, and help get it out of the body and brain, using painless, non-invasive methods. Now, many of our supplements are available as liquid herbal tinctures, making it even easier to get toxins OUT.

Bio-Marker for Strokes and Heart Attacks
Forty percent of Americans die of vascular disease.
High homocysteine levels may be the most neglected risk factor and possibly one of the most significant, along with smoking, dyslipidemia, hypertension and obesity. In addition to cardiovascular disease, high homocysteine levels have been associated with many other conditions ranging from placental abruption, neural tube defect, and complications of diabetes to alcoholism and neuropsychiatric disorders.
Homocysteine is a by-product of the normal breakdown of the essential amino acid methionine. It becomes a toxic molecule at higher than normal levels and promotes atherosclerosis. As homocysteine enters the blood stream, it promotes oxidation of lipids and causes blood platelets to stick together. This enhances the binding of lipoprotein to fibrin which promotes more free radical damage to the arteries. There are two major bio- chemical pathways used by the body to reduce homocysteine. Elevation of homocysteine can occur by a deficiency or a defective gene, however the suggested treatment is a combination of nutritional elements such as folic acid, B-6, B-12,and Trimethylglycine (TMG).
In the Tuft’s University study it was shown that increased dietary intake of vitamins B-6, B-12, and folic acid clears homocysteine from the circulation. .. Homocysteine, like cholesterol, has a necessary function in the body and then is converted with the necessary nutrients or cofactor, to make other beneficial compounds. ...

USSR Banned Microwaves over Killing Effect.
Two researchers, Blanc and Hertel, confirmed that microwave cooking significantly changes food nutrients. Hertel previously worked as a food scientist for several years with one of the major Swiss food companies. He was fired from his job for questioning procedures in processing food because they denatured it. He got together with Blanc of the Swiss Federal Institute of Biochemistry and the University Institute for Biochemistry.
They studied the effect that microwaved food had on eight individuals, by taking blood samples immediately after eating. They found that after eating microwaved food, haemoglobin levels decreased. "These results show anaemic tendencies. The situation became even more pronounced during the second month of the study". ...
The violent change that microwaving causes to the food molecules forms new life forms called radiolytic compounds. These are mutations that are unknown in the natural world. Ordinary cooking also causes the formation of some radiolytic compounds (which is no doubt one reason why it is better to eat plenty of raw food), but microwaving cooking causes a much greater number. This then causes deterioration in your blood and immune system.
In addition, they found that the number of leucocytes increases after eating microwaved food - something which haematologists take very seriously, because this is often a sign of highly harmful effects, such as poisoning.
Also, after eating microwaved food, cholesterol levels increased.
Hertel said "Common scientific belief states that cholesterol values usually alter slowly over longer periods of time. In this study, the markers increased rapidly after the consumption of the microwaved vegetables." He believes his study tends to confirm new scientific data that suggest cholesterol may rapidly increase in the blood secondary to acute stress "Also," he added, "blood cholesterol levels are less influenced by cholesterol content of food than by stress factors. Such stress-causing factors can apparently consist of foods which contain virtually no cholesterol - the microwaved vegetables."
The results were published in "Search for Health" in the Spring of 1992.
How was this research greeted? A powerful trade organization, the Swiss Association of Dealers for Electroapparatuses for Households and Industry somehow made the President of the Court of Seftigen issue a `gag order'.
Hertel and Blanc were told that if they published their findings they would face hefty fines or up to one year in prison. In response to this, Blanc recanted his findings. Hertel, on the other hand, went on a lecture tour and demanded a jury trial.
Russians ban microwave ovens
After the World War II, the Russians also experimented with microwave ovens. From 1957 up to recently, their research has been carried out mainly at the Institute of Radio Technology at Klinsk, Byelorussia. According to US researcher William Kopp, who gathered much of the results of Russian and German research - and was apparently prosecuted for doing so, the following effects were observed by Russian forensic teams:
- Heating prepared meats in a microwave sufficiently for human consumption created:
- d-Nitrosodiethanolamine (a well-known cancer-causing agent)
- Destabilization of active protein biomolecular compounds
- Creation of a binding effect to radioactivity in the atmosphere
- Creation of cancer-causing agents within protein-hydrosylate compounds in milk and cereal grains;
- Microwave emissions also caused alteration in the catabolic (breakdown) behavior of glucoside - and galactoside - elements within frozen fruits when thawed in this way;
- Microwaves altered catabolic behavior of plant-alkaloids when raw, cooked or frozen vegetables were exposed for even very short periods;
- Cancer-causing free radicals were formed within certain trace-mineral molecular formations in plant substances, especially in raw root vegetables;
- Ingestion of micro-waved foods caused a higher percentage of cancerous cells in blood;
- Due to chemical alterations within food substances, malfunctions occurred in the lymphatic system, causing degeneration of the immune system=s capacity to protect itself against cancerous growth;
- The unstable catabolism of micro-waved foods altered their elemental food substances, leading to disorders in the digestive system;
- Those ingesting micro-waved foods showed a statistically higher incidence of stomach and intestinal cancers, plus a general degeneration of peripheral cellular tissues with a gradual breakdown of digestive and excretory system function;
- Microwave exposure caused significant decreases in the nutritional value of all foods studied, particularly:
As a result microwave ovens were banned in Russia in 1976; the ban was lifted after Perestroika.

Parkinson's Disease & Pesticides. (Dopamine)
Source: Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, July, 2002 by Jule Klotter
http://www.townsendletter.com/
.. The symptoms of Parkinson's disease appear when 60 to 80% of the brain cells that produce dopamine have died. Dopamine is necessary for muscle control. The symptoms of Parkinson's include "resting tremor, rigidity, slow movement, postural instability and progressively involuntary writhing movements, paralysis and an inability to talk or swallow." Most cases of Parkinson's are believed to result from chemical exposure or an interaction between genetic susceptibility and environmental factors. Only 10% are truly genetic.
Several studies indicate a link between pesticide exposure and Parkinson's.
Researchers have found that people who live in farming areas and have been exposed to pesticides (directly and/or through well water) are more likely to get Parkinson's. In 2000, researchers at Stanford University interviewed 1038 people about their lifestyle habits and exposure to insecticides, herbicides, or fungicides. Nearly half of the group (496 people) had Parkinson's.
Their results showed that "individuals who were exposed to pesticides in the home or garden were 70% more likely to develop Parkinson's than those who were not exposed," according to the PANNA article. Also, the brains of those who die of Parkinson's have higher levels of organochlorine pesticides than those who do not have the disease.
PANNA. Parkinson's Disease Possibly Linked to Pesticide Exposure.
Pesticide Action Network Updates Service 2001 September 28;
www.panna.org
Dr. Martin's Comments:
.. Chemical weapon agents, made for chemical warfare, are often produced at insecticide factories. Why? Because they're nearly identical chemically. Only the concentration differs, depending on whether the intended target to kill is insects or humans. So when you hear war stories that mention 'nerve gas,' remember that pesticides are nerve gas, capable of causing neurological diseases such as Parkinson's.
To minimize future exposure, we strongly recommend avoiding homes and yards treated with toxic pesticides, and to discontinue using these products completely. Pest Control companies who use non-toxic methods are becoming numerous, due to increased demand for safer alternatives. Buy and eat organic foods, also, whenever possible. ...
High fructose corn syrup used in soda pop .. toxic.
11/09/2007
New research shows that the high fructose corn syrup used in soda pop is not only a lot of sugar, IT IS TOXIC TO HUMAN HEALTH. It took brain-dead public officials two decades to figure out trans fats were really as bad as was obvious. How long will it take this time?
Unlike fruit sugar (fructose), refined sugar (glucose), or milk sugar (lactose), high fructose corn syrup sets off a highly damaging group pf molecules called reactive carbonyls. Not only do these compounds damage healthy cells, they are invariably elevated in people with diabetes. Reactive carbonyls drastically speed the aging process and the decay of cognitive function. Is the FDA anywhere to be found when they are needed?
-Bryon Richards, CCN
Dr. Martin's Comments:
.. high fructose corn syrup ... research proves it speeds up the aging process .. Also linked to cognitive function decay, this means consuming it could worsen or be linked to conditions such as brain fog, memory loss, dementia, senility, and Alzheimer's.
We must protect our brains and bodies from high fructose corn syrup and other poisons found on nearly every shelf in the grocery stores. We advocate making healthier food choices, over new legislation controlling our diets.
Chronic Fatigue / Fibromyalgia Teleseminar Questions,
18-09-2007
The questions we’ve received already have been wonderful.
There’s a lot of concern from people as to the best way to handle the effects of Chronic Fatigue & Fibromyalgia.
Here’s what you learn at the Teleseminar:
- What is Fibromyalgia?
- What causes Chronic Fatigue?
- How many people really have Chronic Fatigue syndrome?
- If your muscles "hurt all over" is that Fibromyalgia?
- Will a B12 shot handle Chronic Fatigue or is there more I need to do?
- Does Chronic Fatigue come with age?
- Do I have to live with Fibromyalgia? My MD says "yes".
- Isn’t Chronic Fatigue just another way of saying "I’m really tired"?
- How disabling is Fibromyalgia?
My auntie has it and she has stopped doing all the physical things she loved to in the past. Can she ever get active again without all her pain?
- Can Chronic Fatigue Syndrome come from - lack of sleep?
- My daughter says "she hurts" after she’s been outside with her friends running around playing.
Is she too young to get Fibromyalgia?
- If someone has Chronic Fatigue, shouldn’t they just exercise more?
The Poisoned Apple ... and Peach, Pear, Grape ...
Source: NUTRITIONAL HEALTH SOLUTIONS, Summer/ Fall 2007
In 1999, Consumer Reports published results from a U.S. Department of Agriculture survey on pesticide residues on produce. Here are some highlights:
- Many people believe imported fruits and vegetables contain the most residues, but 11 of the 12 worst offenders were actually domestic, including apples, peaches, winter squash, grapes, spinach, pears and green beans.
- Some winter squash samples contained residues of an extremely toxic carcinogen that was banned 25 years ago -- Dieldrin. It still remains in the soil today!
- On average, an apple contains 4 pesticides, but some have as many as 10. Want more? One spinach sample contained 14 different pesticides!
Here's some more alarming news:
According to a report authored by the Pesticide Action Network, entitled
"Hooked on Poison: Pesticide Use in California 1991-1998" (released May 2000):
- Use of cancer-causing pesticides more than doubled in the 8 years studied -- an increase of 127%
between 1991-1998.
- Since 1996, use of carcinogenic pesticides in California have remained within the highest levels ever reported.
- More than 1.5 billion pounds of pesticides were applied in California between 1991-1998. The usage pattern of these pesticides shows no trend towards decreasing.
High Fructose Corn Syrup a key to obesity.
Newletter, 2006-12-29
source: Kay Quinn, Healthbeat Reporter
Do you think you eat a healthy diet? Consider this:
15 to 20 percent of calories the average person eats every day come from food sweeteners.
Now, medical researchers want to know whether one sweetener might be contributing to the obesity epidemic. If you're a food label reader, you've probably noticed the ingredient "high fructose corn syrup" on many foods. It was invented in the 1960's. Since 1980, it's been the only sweetener in soft drinks. Some scientists say its increased use is almost identical to the increase in obesity in this country in the last 40 years.
Pick up a package of cookies, a bottle of salad dressing, or a can of Campbell's tomato soup.
If it doesn't contain an artificial sweetener, chances are it contains high fructose corn syrup. This ingredient accounts for more than 40% of the caloric sweeteners added to the foods we eat and drink. From bread to yogurt, our consumption has gone up dramatically in the past 30 years. "It's gone up to about 75 pounds a year of high fructose corn syrup," said Dr. Samuel Klein, director of Washington University School of Medicine's Center for Human Nutrition.
What IS it exactly?
Corn kernels are processed and turned to liquid or crystals, and their molecular structure changed. Dr. Klein says high fructose corn syrup can contain anywhere from 50 to 90 percent fructose with the remainder being glucose. By comparison, table sugar is about 50 percent fructose and 50 percent glucose. But there's a general agreement that high fructose corn syrup is at least one and a quarter times sweeter than sugar.
There are few scientific studies.
None prove high fructose corn syrup can be blamed for the obesity epidemic.
Even a 2004 published report in the Journal of Clinical Nutrition -- which looked at the connection -- said more research is needed. But the report does say "there is a distinct likelihood that the increased consumption of high fructose corn syrup in beverages may be linked to the increase in obesity."
Dr. Klein takes the biology even further.
"Fructose goes directly to the liver after you eat it and it stimulates the production of fat in the liver and can cause fatty liver, it can lead to fatty liver. Fatty liver we now know is a major problem associated with obesity. "
"I'd never heard of fatty liver disease," said Maggie Rodgers.
But Rodgers' liver became so scarred from non-alcoholic cirrhosis - related to her obesity that she needed a liver transplant in 2004. That type of cirrhosis -- called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) -- is now the MOST common liver disease in the country, with 5 percent of people affected, the majority of them obese. Rodgers still can't believe her liver was damaged because of her diet.
"I find myself wanting to tell people all the time about it so they'll be aware it can happen to them and they should watch what they're doing while they're early on," said Rodgers.
Dr. Martin's Comments:
"...
Along with table sugar, high fructose corn syrup is also a huge stressor to the adrenal glands and the pancreas gland, causing fatigue, mood swings and blood sugar highs and lows.
The recent epidemic of diabetes has a direct link to obesity and tells us sugar overload is a significant factor in metabolic imbalance and disease.
And what about the source of these corn kernels used to make high fructose corn syrup? Non-organic corn, grown across the USA on depleted soil, to which chemical fertilizers are applied is the source of this unwholesome sweetener. Often, industrial waste and treated sewage sludge, containing heavy metals and drug residues also gets dumped on cornfields. To keep weed out a toxic herbicide called ATROPINE is heavily sprayed in the fields and is absorbed into the corn.
ATRAZINE has been the topic of intense controversy because it mimics estrogen in the body. Estrogen fuels cancer growth. Knowing this, why are chemical companies allowed to sell this poison to farmers? Chemical companies have powerful lobbyists who persuade our lawmakers to keep many legal poisons on the market, protecting their profits. The other reason is that consumers continue to buy non-organic produce and the processed foods containing these toxins.
If we can't SEE the toxins, and can't TASTE the toxins, they couldn't be THAT bad, right? WRONG!
Our cells, glands and organs know quite well how toxic food hurts the body.
After years of ingesting denatured toxic food -- the body reacts and rebels.....sometimes with subtle signs and symptoms, other times with a surprise devastating diagnosis.
Also many of us think of corn as a vegetable, when it's actually a grain.
It's a grain with a very high sugar content. Grains are extremely vulnerable to mold. When corn is stored in silos, or on trucks, in darkness and dampness, mold growth in inevitable. The older the corn the moldier it gets. (It is the job of mold to break down and destroy old aging food.) All molds produce chemicals called 'mycotoxins,' which cause inflammation and suppress immune function.
One mold toxin often found in corn and cereal grain is called zearalenone.
It also mimics estrogen, and will accelerate any existing (known or unknown) cancer cell growth. Another mold toxin is called afllatoxin, one of the deadliest naturally-occurring chemicals in the world. Aflatoxin destroys liver cells. When the liver is already burdened from chemicals in processed food, prescription drugs, polluted air and water....the extra assault can be devastating to the body.
The woman in the above article had liver failure and a liver transplant due to a toxic diet! Many of you will never suffer complete liver breakdown....instead, you may just become tired, achy, bloated, obese, constipated, or have elevated liver enzymes, high cholesterol, or high triglycerides. These are just some of the signs that your liver may be severely stressed, inflamed and toxic.
... call Nutrition Wellness Center to schedule your Nutrascan nutritional evaluation. We test for the frequencies of aflatoxin, zearalenone, atrazine and hundreds of more toxins in your body. We will work with you to create better functioning glands and organs.

Tracy M. --- -Englewood, Florida
"My triglycerides were 1600.
After 2 years on prescription medicines they were still 500-600. I was also diagnosed with diabetes. I was tired all the time, and I got headaches a lot. My medical doctor said I would need to take prescription drugs for my elevated blood fats (triglycerides) and the diabetes for the rest of my life.
My father and brother encouraged me to come to NUTRITION WELLNESS CENTER.
I knew it would be the only real solution to get healed. Since being on Dr. Martin's program, my recent blood tests showed my triglycerides are now 92 and my glucose is 102. I feel more energetic and not as moody now. I'm not achy anymore - I have no more joint pain. My headaches are gone also.
My medical doctor said she did not know WHAT I had been doing lately; but that it was "AN ABSOLUTE MIRACLE!" She had believed my triglycerides and blood chemistries would never be normal.
My family has noticed the improvement in my moods, and in my energy -- I don't need to take naps all the time; so I can do more with the kids. I recommend NUTRITION WELLNESS CENTER to everyone, even if they have no symptoms or apparent illness. As a nurse, I see people taking 30-40 different medications ... one drug has to be added to cover up the side effects of all the others. Those people have no energy, and the ones on the MOST medicines are the ones who feel the WORST!"

"The Toxic Ping Pong Effect"
http://www.howtoxicareyou.com/toxins_disease.html
Patients who are physically ill should be encouraged to undertake detoxification only under the supervision of a trained professional to avoid the resettling of toxins in the same or different tissues (organs), a phenomenon which is known as "the toxic ping pong effect". Instead of being eliminated from the system when they are dislodged, the toxins simply relocate, with the associated reactions.
This occurs when:
Detoxification is undertaken without appropriate drainage therapy and the body cannot handle the extra stress from stirred-up toxins.
Effective detoxification is best performed under supervision of a qualified health care professional specializing in such therapies. Each person will have a unique toxic load profile with various causes. The ideal detoxification procedure is one customized for each person.
However, in any detoxification program which actually stimulates cells to release toxins, it will draw on the resources of the body to eliminate the toxin. This means that a person with high toxic load and low energy resources will experience sluggishness and fatigue while energy is being redirected to a cellular level.
When the elimination process is done successfully, most people experience:
- Disappearance of reactions and warning signs
- A distinct increase in energy and vitality
- Increased feeling of general well-being
- More tolerance and resistance to stress
- Increased resistance to colds, flu, and infections
- Overall Improve Health
The specificity of TNA is unique in that we are able to determine what body organs are being affected and also by what toxins. This enables us to assess an individualized treatment approach for detoxification and tissue repair.

The enzymes in Digest-Zyme™ have been clinically shown to help with heartburn, bloating, irritable bowel syndrome, and a host of other disorders.
Most people notice a difference within a few days of adding a good enzyme to their protocols. ..
Recent studies of fungal enzymes in our formula have shown that they improve the digestibility and bioaccessibility of proteins and carbohydrates in the lumen of the small intestine, not only under impaired digestive conditions, but also in healthy human digestion.
It is also important to remember that a good digestive enzyme formula should also benefit the small intestine, since much digestion occurs there. However, many digestive enzymes are completely destroyed by the acid in the stomach and therefore are incomplete. But, the enzymes in Digest-Zyme™ have been shown to survive the acidity of the stomach and are able to aid the small intestine. In fact, the fungal enzymes in Digest-Zyme™ not only survive the acidity of the stomach, but also are active in the harsh environment where most other types of enzymes are inactivated.
