Profile : Chemical properties of aluminum.
INDEX
https://www.lenntech.com/Periodic-chart-elements/Al-en.htm#Properties
The name aluminum is derived from the ancient name for alum (potassium aluminum sulphate), which was alumen (Latin, meaning bitter salt). Aluminum was the original name given to the element by Humphry Davy but others called it aluminum and that became the accepted name in Europe. However, in the USA the preferred name was aluminum and when the American Chemical Society debated on the issue, in 1925, it decided to stick with aluminum.
Aluminum is a soft and lightweight metal.
It has a dull silvery appearance, because of a thin layer of oxidation that forms quickly when it is exposed to air.
Aluminum is nontoxic (as the metal) nonmagnetic and non-sparking.
Aluminum has only one naturally occurring isotope, aluminium-27, which is not radioactive.
Applications
A silvery and ductile member of the poor metal group of elements, aluminum is found primarily as the ore bauxite and is remarkable for its resistance to oxidation (aluminum is actually almost always already oxidized, but is usable in this form unlike most metals), its strength, and its light weight. Aluminum is used in many industries to make millions of different products and is very important to the world economy. Structural components made from aluminum are vital to the aerospace industry and very important in other areas of transportation and building in which light weight, durability, and strength are needed.
The use of aluminum exceed that of any other metal except iron.
Pure aluminum easily forms alloys with many elements such as copper, zinc, magnesium, manganese and silicon.
Nearly all modern mirrors are made using a thin reflective coating of aluminum on the back surface of a sheet of float glass. Telescope mirrors are also coated with a thin layer of aluminum. Other applications are electrical transmission lines, and packaging (cans, foil, etc.).
Because of its high conductivity and relatively low price compared to copper, aluminum was introduced for household electrical wiring to a large degree in the US in the 1960s. Unfortunately problems on the functioning were caused by its greater coefficient of thermal expansion and its tendency to creep under steady sustained pressure, both eventually causing loosening the connection; galvanic corrosion increasing the
electrical resistance.
The most recent development in aluminum technology is the production of aluminum foam by adding to the molten metal a compound (a metal hybrid), which releases hydrogen gas. The molten aluminum has to he thickened before this is done and this is achieved by adding aluminum oxide or silicon carbide fibers. The result is a solid foam which is used in traffic tunnels and in space shuttle.
Aluminum in the environment
Aluminum is an abundant element in Earth's crust: it is believed to be contained in a percentage from 7.5% to 8.1%.
Aluminum is very rare in its free form. Aluminum contributes greatly to the properties of soil, where it is present mainly as insoluble aluminum hydroxide.
Aluminum is a reactive metal and it is hard to extract it from its ore, aluminum oxide (Al2O3).
Aluminum is among the most difficult metals on earth to refine, the reason is that aluminum is oxidized very rapidly and that its oxide is an extremely stable compound that, unlike rust on iron, does not flake off. The very reason for which aluminum is used in many applications is why it is so hard to produce.
Several gemstones are made of the clear crystal form of aluminum oxide known as corundum.
The presence of traces of other metals creates various colors: cobalt creates blue sapphires, and chromium makes red rubies. Both these are now easy and cheap to manufacture artificially. Topaz is aluminum silicate coloured yellow by traces of iron. Recovery of this metal from scrap (via recycling) has become an important component of the aluminum industry. Industrial production world-wide of new metal is around 20 million tons per year, and a similar amount is recycled.
Known reserves of ores are 6 billion tones.

Aluminum is one of the most widely used metals and also one of the most frequently found compounds in the earth's crust.
Due to these facts, aluminum is commonly known as an innocent compound. But still, when one is exposed to high concentrations, it can cause health problems. The water-soluble form of aluminum causes the harmful effects, these particles are called ions. They are usually found in a solution of aluminum in combination with other ions, for instance as aluminum chlorine.
The uptake of aluminum can take place through food, through breathing and by skin contact.
Long lasting uptakes of significant concentrations of aluminum can lead to serious health effects, such as:
- Damage to the central nervous system
- Dementia
- Loss of memory
- Listlessness
- Severe trembling
- Lung problems
- Alzheimer's disease.
Aluminum is a risk in certain working environments, such as mines, where it can be found in water.
People that work in factories where aluminum is applied during production processes may endure lung problems when they breathe in aluminum dust. Aluminum can cause problems for kidney patients when it enters the body during kidney dialyses.
Inhalation of finely divided aluminum and aluminum oxide powder has been reported as a cause of pulmonary fibrosis and lung damage.
This effect, know as Shaver's Disease, is complicated by the presence in the inhaled air of silica and oxides of iron.
May also be implicated in Alzheimer's disease.

Al-en.htm#Environmental%20effects%20of%20aluminium
The effects of aluminum have drawn our attention, mainly due to the acidifying problems.
Aluminum may accumulate in plants and cause health problems for animals that consume these plants.
The concentrations of aluminum appear to be highest in acidified lakes.
In these lakes the number of fish and amphibians is declining due to reactions of aluminum ions with proteins in the gills of fish and the
embryo's of frogs.
High aluminum concentrations do not only cause effects upon fish, but also upon birds and other animals that consume contaminated fish and insects and upon animals that breathe in aluminum through air. The consequences for birds that consume contaminated fish are eggshell thinning and chicks with low birth-weights. The consequences for animals that breathe in aluminum through air may be lung problems, weight loss and a decline in activity.
Another negative environmental effect of aluminum is that its ions can react with phosphates, which causes phosphates to be less available to water organisms.
High concentrations of aluminum may not only be found in acidified lakes and air, but also in the groundwater of acidified soils.
There are strong indications that aluminum can damage the roots of trees when it is located in groundwater.
Sources : Aluminum is endemically present.
INDEX
If you live in a commercially organized society, you will be exposed to the potential for aggregating aluminum toxicity. Tiny amounts from a majority of one's food will accumulate into a heavy burden. Politically driven choices to provide for communities of over-dense and over-population will seek to maintain and sustain citizens in a compliant, unaware, authority worshipping, economically co-dependent drone-like worker state of existence. Essentially, any foodstuff produced by industry (agriculture mass production, fertilizer assisted, bioengineered, packaged, transported, stored, preserved, baked, cooked, and eaten with stainless steel flatware ... is introducing aluminum into your body. Natural forms of detoxing aluminum are rare.

SALT.
We often overlook salt as a source of aluminum because it is in so much of what industrialized, commercialized, urbanized persons use as a food ingredient. It is made more hidden by our not having labeling regulations which mandate its being noted in INGREDIENTS lists on most processed foods when it is a component of refined salt. There is no way to know if what you are eating has aluminum added to it during refining, processing, packaging, or baking. Often, even the manufacturers, their recipe designers, laboratory testors, or management have any awareness of what may be added to their salt. The only certain way you may determine how much aluminum YOU are storing in your body is to have a Minerals Analysis Urine Test or a Hair Analysis Test, assessed by a well repected laboratory.

I extend my thanks to Michael Forrest of BioElectric (http://www.dragonfly75.com/eng/) for his refocusing my attention on table salt as a source of Aluminum toxicity which he noted in his newsletter of November 05, 2018.)
|
You don't have to be paranoid to be concerned about aluminum being in table salt; you just have to have a minerals test which shows that you have a HIGH presence of aluminum in your body, and, be demonstrating symptoms of aluminum toxicity. Denying these PERSONAL indicators may leave you feeling comfortable around sanctioned authorities, who are often academically informed proud fixtures and ignorant and health aloof friends, family, and associates. It is not your reponsibility to educate them, and, it is not their right to direct your life ... for which they will accept NO responsibility when you acquire Alzheimer's or some other presentation of aluminum toxicity. Consider the following and then decide for yourself.
Crowd pleasers and self-styled attitude dictators will quickly deter anyone from considering whether table salt can be a SIGNIFICANT source of dietary aluminum. That is your first caution. If you want to think only in black and white terms you will have a world of simple and easily defined perspectives and choices. Whether they will be RELEVANT will really determine the overall direction of your health and life and how soon and how quickly you may become totally disabled and possibly abandoned by the medical community and your friends and relatives with the excuse (the confident rationalization of ignorant persons) that you are "getting old". Relevancy is tied to Reality and to Personal biological variables.
History.
A Baseline in this consideration is that much North American table salt did contain sodium aluminosilicate which has been replaced in more recent years by Potassium Iodide. These additives function to help keep the salt from clumping and turning into a hard block (usually from the absorption of water vapor from the surrounding air when the package is opened) which results in it often being referred to as "free-running".
Agriculture, Refining, and Nutrient Loss.
According to Dr. David Brownstein, author of Salt Your Way to Health, unrefined salt is an excellent detoxification aid, as well as a provider of mineral nutrients in a naturally bio-available balance. There are usually around 80 minerals and essential trace elements in unrefined, organic salt. Soil grown food is lacking in many of these because the soil has been depleted of trace elements and minerals (by intensive agricultural practices and the use of heavy metal pest controls and chemical and GMO growth enhancers). Some of the major minerals included with unrefined salt are: Magnesium (a very essential metabolic agent), calcium, potassium, and sulfate. Obviously, sodium is present also, but it comprises only 50% of the total mineral content rather than the 99% sodium in refined table salt.
Regular consumer table salt, refined, sometimes has iodine added in order to promote thyroid health.
Dr. Brownstien has devoted a good deal of his practice and research on thyroid and glandular health. He says there is less iodized salt now than before, and the amount of iodine in iodized salt is insufficient for optimum thyroid health anyway. Iodine is an important agent for glandular health, and it is also scarcely present in our food anymore. ...
Manufacturing.
A major confusion is that only refined commercial and household salt is known as "salt" to most of medical science and consumers. It is the most prevalent, by far. Refined salt, stripped of its natural mineral structure, is virtually all sodium. As a matter of fact, it is 97% to 99% sodium! That`s why it is called Sodium Chloride. Processed foods are laced with Sodium Chloride refined salt as well as with other types of sodium, such as sodium benzoate, sodium nitrate, and the potentially toxic monosodium glutamate (MSG). ...
Part of the process for refined salt, or commercial table salt, involves the use of aluminum, ferro cyanide and bleach.
These are all toxic materials that your body takes in with refined, commercial salt. And because of that process, almost all the vital minerals that real, unrefined salt can offer are removed! One or two servings of refined salt won`t send you to the grave. But continued almost daily use will avail you to the perils of aluminum toxicity. Ferro cyanide is listed by the EPA as a toxic material for human consumption. You are probably aware of the hazards to human health of chlorine, which is used to bleach the salt. ...
Honesty in Business.
What additives are in your table salt may not be evident.
And, if they are not evident to you they may not be evident to food processors.
During 2018 I could find listed on the package or on the website of some manufacturers whether a particular brand and container presentation of a table salt contained potassium iodide or sodium aluminosilicate. Yes, even different packages sold by the same company may have one ingredient in one, and, the other ingredient listed in another. Keep in mind also the market practice that a company and its brand may change the components in their salt at any time. A brans not free of aluminum this month may replace it next month. The reverse is also true.
Manufacturers promote their "salt substitute" Potassium Chloride (a salt) water softener and table salt as a replacement for the sodium chloride mainstay, yet, seldom if ever tell you why this might be a benefit to you or your technology. Also, if from the rest of your dietary choices and your biology your potassium level becomes too high, you may begin to have MORE inflammation and feel pain more severely.
Heart Health.
Many people with High blood pressure are advised by the mass media and their doctors to reduce their table salt intake.
Especially in agriculturally based diets (endemic in mass societies now), grains are VERY bland when they are refined and cooked so they can be easily consumed. Salt adds to or accentuates the flavor of these foods as do spices. We eat more of them with ease, and, foodstuff producers and fast-food retailers sell MORE of their foods to us. A salt (sodium chloride) substitute can reduce our High blood pressure risk. A potassium chloride alternative may increase our heart attack risk, and, have us be more sensitized to pains. Potassium iodide added to sodium chloride salt provides a non-aluminum free-running benefit with less of a risk of potassium toxicity.
Like a minority of persons, I was born with LOW blood pressure and have had it as a lifetime reality.
I have also chosen to learn and include in my lifestyle a number of practices which reduce toxic stresses, yet also contribute to lower blood pressure. These included releasing all of my Energy Blocks, learning Spiritual Principles to assist in not building new Energy Blocks, learning how to effectively pray and meditate, choosing to search for and accept reality, and, raising my self-esteem and assertiveness, amongst others. If one's blood pressure becomes too low, they can faint, black out, or experience a number of other adverse reactions. For 15 years I have taken measures to RAISE my blood pressure towards "normal". That includes adding salt to just about everything I eat and to coffee. That has been a contributor to my building a HIGH aluminum toxicity discovered in mid-2017.
Water Softener Salt.
There are many residences which use water softeners to remove the hardness (calcium) minerals from their municipal or well water in order to have softer showers and baths, more efficient laundry use (soaps works much better), and, less scale deposit buildup on faucets and shower heads. Unfortunately, many of these are directly connected into the incoming water main. Also, most of these units are salt based units and most of those use Sodium Chloride as a "softening" agent. There are effective and efficient and less costly to operate magnetic softeners. I used one of these less-than-$20 units (requiring no power connection or batteries) on my house water main for 10 years. These have not, and will not, become more available and used without government awareness and support.
With a salt fed water softener connected to the residence main water source, any water used by the household for cooking, drinking, or making beverages will have a small amount of salt (sodium chloride) in it. This began to be noticed as a health problem in the 1980s or before when persons with circulatory and heart problems were having their illnesses worsen faster than usual because of their DAILY added intake of sodium chloride from their softened water. There is no government concern with this in that no known-to-me studies have been done to determine how many residences continue to have this form of direct hookup, if plumbing regulations and practices have adapted for it, if homeowners and buyers have any awareness of it, and, how many persons with High blood pressure or other heart ailments have a "softened" drinking source. It is your choice as to whether you want to risk earlier heart problems and fatality. By their (in)actions your medical community and politicians just don't care if they or you die earlier.
Normal Body Detoxing.
First, there is no such thing as "normal body detoxing" in reality.
Second, each person excretes excess or toxic amounts of substances according to how much WATER they drink, and, what foods and beverages they eat and drink, and, their level of mineral intake. Many people now replace clear drinking water with soft drinks, coffees, teas, milks, energy drinks, beer, alcoholic combinations and other water-plus drinks. The added ingredients in these beverages often totally and significantly influence the assimilation and utilization of the water involved. Some, like sugars, encourage our bodies to hold onto the water. Others encourage our bodies to hold onto the heavy metals and other toxins. Some act as transporters of bacterial, fungal, chemical, and other potential pathogens into our bodies after their introduction by manufacturing and processing errors, packaging poor design, or, the ways in which we use and store the product. Our genetic heritage and personal genetic code, now being altered by GMO products and pollution, can also alter what we can digest and how our assimilation patterns work. Our lifestyle (degrees of exercise, stress, diet) can also enhance or minimize the amount which our bodies excrete of the toxins we breath in, eat, or drink. To speak in terms of "normal" is to assume that we are all clones living in a controlled environment like a laboratory.
Significant to a table salt consideration is the fact, noted above, that refining REMOVES a large amount and number of minerals present in sea salt and Himalayan salt. It is these minerals that other animals and some insects are drawn towards to assist and maintain their health when they sell salt licks at a distance and remember their location like a famous spa location. Of course, we demonstrate how smart we are and how we can deny what God has created by manufacturing our own sterile form of salt. The downside to that is that we constantly have a mineral deficiency and that opens the door wide to our stockpiling ANY presence of minerals toxins. When we have a deficiency of a mineral, our body does its best to fill the void by conserving something to replace the loss. Often, that is in the form of a heavy metal or other toxin. Diminished healthy metals encourages healthy bacteria and fungi in our intestines, lungs, and mouth to mutate (stressed) into destructive forms. These invite unfriendly parasites ... which can bring us much health grief, and, store up my toxins and pathagens to pull us down.
A Particular Health Recovery Benefit.
During an earlier health challenge, I utilized a personalized version of the Salt-C Method for 2 years, that benefited and contributed to my then health Recovery. As detailed on the Lymephoto.com website "Microfilarial worms live symbiotically with bacteria. They protect the (Borrelia burgdorferi) bacteria from being exterminated by the antibiotics. ... microfilarial worm, though possibly a nematode, is a parasitic nematomorph" and, the Salt-C Method is effective in countering it. A great consideration would be to use salt, without the aluminum. At the time, I, like some others, ordered 1 gram salt capsules from my local pharmacy, no prescription required. Since then (2007), sea salt and Hymalayan salt have become popularized, and much more available than at that time. The explanation offered by the site authors and my constructive experience contributed to my reframing my mass media limiting perspective of salt resulting in my daily noted use of aluminum-free salt. As noted frequently and everywhere on this site and in these writings, YOU are responsible for determining YOUR level of health and determining WHICH and to what DEGREE, and WHEN these considerations are RELEVANT for YOU or those you value.

I extend my thanks to Michael Forrest of BioElectric (http://www.dragonfly75.com/eng/) for his drawing my attention to the reality of some vitamins actually increasing the retention of Aluminum in the body, which he noted in his newsletter of November 18, 2018.)
|
Exceptions often demand CAUTION as they may apply in very specific circumstances.
By this nature, the reality is that these may not be experiences that most persons are exposed to, or that persons are exposed to on a continual basis. Still, it bears witness that SOME persons will be exposed to such dynamics on a DAILY basis for many years. For example, there are no statistics on how many take antacid pharmaceuticals or for how long, yet I do know of persons who have taken such on a daily basis for a decade or longer. Some, all or none of the following may apply to you. Note them accordingly. If they do not apply to you, be sensitive to the reality that you may know one or more persons that they do apply to.
If that is the case, I encourage you to LIGHTLY mention the research to them as Positive information that they MAY find of interest in maintaing or improving their health. Imposing the deception of passionate authority on them of a black and white command will often do more harm than good if they FEEL that you are suggesting that they are ignorant compared to you. It is always better to provide others with constructive options and opportunities and then give them time and freedom to make their own choices. After all, it them who will ultimately be responsible for their health and survival so they must take the risk, or accept the denial and passivity, and receive the credit.
In an experiment to test for Aluminum retention within the body from the use of antacids with or withour particular foods ...
Supplementation of the diet with Al(OH)3 alone resulted in a pronounced increase of the mean Al concentrations in the blood, ... In the next balance interval, Al values decreased in seven of 10 subjects and the mean value for the whole group was significantly lower. Compared with the effect of treatment with Al(OH)3 alone, the increase of Al concentration in blood was substantially greater in each subject when Al(OH)3 was ingested with lemon juice -- the mean for the whole group being about fivefold the control value. The increase was also highly significant as compared with that after lemon juice alone was ingested. Blood Al decreased significantly during the balance period after the combined [Al(OH)3 + lemon juice] treatment. But, just as in the two previous balance periods, it did not decrease completely to the control (pretreatment) values.
The significant increase in Al in blood of healthy individuals after ingestion of an Al(OH)3-containing antacid shows that Al is absorbed from these drugs. Our findings agree with the results of earlier investigations demonstrating increased concentrations of Al in serum and in urine after the ingestion of Al-containing antacids. The Al concentrations in blood decreased rapidly after cessation of the treatment, probably reflecting an effective renal clearance of the absorbed element in healthy individuals. The concentrations of Al in blood would thus appear to reflect recent exposure, rather than total body burden of Al. However, animal experiments have shown that the increase in blood concentrations after a 10-week administration of various Al compounds was invariably accompanied by a retention of Al in brain and (or) bone tissues. In addition, a positive Al balance has been reported in nonuremic patients, who showed a moderate increase in plasma Al after treatment with Al-containing antacids.
The increased absorption of Al in the form of organic complexes (i.e. lemon juice and antacids) might lead to a substantial accumulation of the element in tissues, especially in uremic patients, for whom Al(OH)3 preparations are used as phosphate binders and consequently taken together with meals. ...
Aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
-- Both aspirin and NSAIDs can lower the amount of vitamin C in the body because they cause more of the vitamin to be lost in urine. In addition, high doses of vitamin C can cause more of these drugs to stay in the body, raising the levels in your blood. Some very early research suggests that vitamin C might help protect against stomach upset that aspirin and NSAIDs can cause. ...
Aluminum-containing antacids
-- Vitamin C can increase the amount of aluminum your body absorbs, which could cause the side effects of these medications to be worse. Aluminum-containing antacids include Maalox and Gaviscon.
Barbiturates
-- Barbiturates may decrease the effects of vitamin C.
These drugs include phenobarbital (Luminal), pentobarbital (Nembutal), and seconobarbital (Seconal).
Oral contraceptives (birth control pills) and hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
-- Vitamin C can cause a rise in estrogen levels when taken with these drugs, particularly if you are deficient in vitamin C to begin with and start taking supplements. Oral estrogens can also decrease the effects of vitamin C in the body.
Substances known to increase aluminum absorption include
maltol (an important contributor to the natural flavour of cooked foods),
citric acid and parathyroid hormone or dietary vitamin D;
a diet deficient in calcium, iron or zinc will also increase absorption.
The interactions between calcium nutritional status and aluminum absorption are likely mediated by the vitamin-D endocrine system.
Dietary supplementation with vitamin D increases the aluminum content in the muscles and hearts of rats fed an aluminum-supplemented
diet.
Parathyroid hormone increases the intestinal absorption of aluminum, in part by stimulating the renal synthesis of 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3. In one study 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 decreased aluminum levels in the liver while increasing those in plasma. Aluminum is absorbed in the duodenum by a nonsaturable mechanism and by a vitamin-D-dependent saturable mechanism for which it competes with calcium.' ...
Regardless of whether dietary vitamin D acts directly or indirectly through 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 it does increase tissue levels of aluminum in various animals and in humans. Virtually all the vitamin D that humans consume is from food additives; this makes it more feasible to control vitamin D ingestion than to control aluminum intake. ...

Aluminum appears to accumulate in most brain cells.
About 80% binds to the chromatin in all cells, but induces change only in certain vulnerable neurons, particularly those with dendritic trees.
Increased aluminum accumulation is known to be associated with neuro-fibrillary tangles in some species.
The term neuro-fibrillary tangles refers to threadlike tangles of slender fibers within a nerve cell. Not all species develop these tangles when exposed to aluminum. Humans with Alzheimer's disease develop a different kind of tangle (twisted helix) that is not identical to the tangles induced by aluminum in other species.
-
Neurochemical Effects
Research studies are not conclusive, but suggest that aluminum inhibits cholinergic functioning and may inhibit synaptic uptake of dopamine, norepinephrine and 5-hydroxytryptamine. Aluminum has also been shown to inhibit Na-K-ATPase and hexokinase. Aluminum also can alter the reassociation of DNA.
-
Behavioral Effects
Rabbits showed difficulty in memory retention and difficulty in learning under the influence of aluminum.
Cats also suffered from loss of coordination. Other species, such as rats, are highly resistant to aluminum toxicity.
In humans, dementia resulting from kidney dialysis, is related to aluminum and results in memory loss, loss of coordination, confusion and disorientation.
-
Anti-Cholinesterase Activity
Aluminum is used in antacids and anti-perspirants because it reduces peristalsis and sweating.
Excessive aluminum is associated with intestinal colic.
-
Dysfunctions Associated With Aluminum
Early symptoms of aluminum toxicity include flatulence, headaches, colic, dryness of the skin and mucous membranes, tendencies for colds, burning pain in the head relieved by food, heartburn and an aversion to meat. Later symptoms include paralytic muscular conditions, loss of memory and mental confusion.
Metabolic Dysfunctions Related To Aluminum Toxicity
-
Alzheimer's Disease
Some authorities feel that aluminum is not the primary agent responsible for Alzheimer's disease.
However, significantly increased levels of aluminum were noted at autopsies in patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease. A difficulty with this research is that the aluminum is not evenly distributed in the brain.
-
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
A study on the island of Guam indicated a relationship between high aluminum in the soil and a high incidence of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
-
Anemia
Anemia may result, due to the interference of aluminum with iron metabolism.
-
Blood Disorders
Possible blood disorders include hemolysis, leukocytosis, and porphyria.
-
Colic
Aluminum affects bowel activity, and can cause digestive disturbances.
-
Dental Caries
There are two distinct mechanisms responsible for an increase in the incidence of dental caries:
- Aluminum impairs bone calcification.
- Aluminum competes with fluoride.
High tissue aluminum levels may inhibit fluoride uptake, resulting in dental problems.
-
Dementia Dialactica
Aluminum is considered to be the primary agent in dementia in dialysis patients with renal failure.
Use of deionized water and avoidance of other sources of aluminum can avoid this problem.
-
Hypoparathyroidism
Aluminum may trigger a feedback mechanism affecting the parathyroid glands.
-
Kidney Dysfunction
Fatty degeneration of the kidney can result from aluminum toxicity.
-
Liver Dysfunction
Fatty degeneration of the liver can result from aluminum toxicity.
-
Neuromuscular Disorders
There is a possible link between aluminum and Parkinson's disease.
-
Osteomalacia
Dialysis patients, in particular, display increased fractures when their drinking water is high in aluminum and low in calcium. The exact mechanism for the mineralization problem is unknown. It appears that aluminum affects the activity of alkaline and acid phosphatase, and modifies the response of these enzymes to parathyroid hormone and vitamin D.
-
Parkinson's Disease
The effect of aluminum on the nervous system may contribute to symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
Urine is the primary mode of excretion for absorbed aluminum.
Common sources of bioavailable aluminum include:
- aluminum cookware, flatware and especially coffee pots;
- aluminum hydroxide anti-acid formulations;
- some types of cosmetics, especially deordorants;
- some colloidal minerals and
- some herbs and herbal products.
Aluminum cookware is particularly of concern if acid foods are cooked such as tomato paste (contains salicylates).
In cosmetics and deordorants, aluminum chloride may be present as an astringent.
In water purification, alum (sodium aluminum sulfate) may be used to coagulate dispersed solids and improve water clarity.
Alumina or Al2O3 is very stable chemically and not bioavailable.
Silica limits the solubility of aluminum and aluminum silicate is not very bioavailable.
Clays, bentonite, for example, contain aluminum that has poor bio-availability.
Aluminum food containers are manufactured with polymer or plastic coatings that prevent direct food-aluminum contact provided such coatings are not damaged.
In the GI Tract, phosphates react with aluminum ions forming insoluble aluminum phosphates.
If this phosphate-blocking were 100% efficient, then virtually no aluminum would be absorbed.
Evidently, this phosphate-forming process is incomplete because body tissue levels (such as hair) usually contain measurable amounts of aluminum.
In the body, aluminum follows a path of increasing phosphate concentration:
plasma, cytosol, cell nucleus.
Once in the nucleus, it adversely affects protein formation.
Long-lived cells, such as neurons, are susceptible to long-term accumulation.
Al is considered neurotoxic.
Without intervention, aluminum accumulates continually in the body with the highest concentration at old age or death.
A hair element test can be used to corroborate increased body burden of aluminum.
An oral provocation with the amino acid glycine, 80 mg/Kg body weight (in divided doses) 24 hours before a diagnostic EDTA chelation with subsequent urine collection can be done to confirm aluminum excess.
(Eliminate food/beverage sources of Al during this procedure.)

Aluminum and Glyphosate Can Synergistically Induce Pineal Gland Pathology:
Connection to Gut Dysbiosis and Neurological Disease

Agricultural Sciences, Vol. 6 No.1, January 2015

Abstract:
Many neurological diseases, including autism, depression, dementia, anxiety disorder and Parkinson’s disease, are associated with abnormal sleep patterns, which are directly linked to pineal gland dysfunction. The pineal gland is highly susceptible to environmental toxicants. Two pervasive substances in modern industrialized nations are aluminum and glyphosate, the active ingredient in the herbicide, Roundup.
In this paper, we show how these two toxicants work synergistically to induce neurological damage.
Glyphosate disrupts gut bacteria, leading to an overgrowth of Clostridium difficile.
Its toxic product, p-cresol, is linked to autism in both human and mouse models.
p-Cresol enhances uptake of aluminum via transferrin. Anemia, a result of both aluminum disruption of heme and impaired heme synthesis by glyphosate, leads to hypoxia, which induces increased pineal gland transferrin synthesis.
Premature birth is associated with hypoxic stress and with substantial increased risk to the subsequent development of autism, linking hypoxia to autism.
Glyphosate chelates aluminum, allowing ingested aluminum to bypass the gut barrier.
This leads to anemia-induced hypoxia, promoting neurotoxicity and damaging the pineal gland.
Both glyphosate and aluminum disrupt cytochrome P450 enzymes, which are involved in melatonin metabolism.
Furthermore, melatonin is derived from tryptophan, whose synthesis in plants and microbes is blocked by glyphosate.
We also demonstrate a plausible role for vitamin D3 dysbiosis in impaired gut function and impaired serotonin synthesis.
This paper proposes that impaired sulfate supply to the brain mediates the damage induced by the synergistic action of aluminum and glyphosate on the pineal gland and related midbrain nuclei.
... Nevison analyzed data spanning several decades to reach the conclusion that 75% - 80% of the increase is real, and she hypothesized that this increase is due to environmental chemicals. In her analysis of the temporal trends of a large number of different chemicals considered to be plausibly causal in autism, she identified only three with significant increases in exposure over time that aligned well with the increasing trend in autism:
- glyphosate,
- aluminum vaccine adjuvant and
- polybrominated diphenyl ethers
(used as flame retardants).
Sleep is regulated by the neurotransmitter, melatonin, released by the pineal gland at night.
The pineal gland is situated in the middle of the brain behind the optic chiasma. It is outside of the blood brain barrier (BBB) and is highly perfused -- receiving a blood flow rate that is second only to that of the kidney. These considerations likely explain why it is especially susceptible to exposure to environmental toxicants such as aluminum, mercury, cadmium and fluoride. A postmortem study of aluminum levels in various brain regions revealed that the pineal gland accumulates aluminum at a rate that is at least twice that of other brain regions.
... Much less well studied is the herbicide, glyphosate, currently the most heavily used herbicide worldwide.
Glyphosate application to weeds has grown enormously in the last decade in the US, in step with the increased adoption of genetically engineered (GE) crops such as corn, soy and canola that are engineered to be “Roundup Ready”. Epidemiological data readily available on the web from US government sources indicate a remarkably strong correlation between glyphosate application to corn and soy and multiple neurological disorders, as will be shown later in this paper. ...
Our first interest was in tracking the adoption of genetically engineered (GE) herbicide resistant (Roundup Ready) crops. ... only cotton had greater than 10% coverage in 1996, whereas by 2012 all crops had become around 90% herbicide resistant. The increase in glyphosate use on soy and corn crops closely tracks the adoption of herbicide-resistant, GE crops. ...
... a link between glyphosate exposure and neurological diseases, how can we explain it physiologically?
One possibility is that glyphosate might enhance the bioavailability of other toxicants such as aluminum. A thorough literature review reveals a plausible mechanism for such a hypothesis, as we will later show. It is also likely that glyphosate would also directly disrupt the synthesis of melatonin.
The precursor to melatonin is serotonin, and the sole precursor to serotonin is tryptophan, one of the three aromatic amino acids whose synthesis by plants and microbes is disrupted by glyphosate through the shikimate pathway.
Finally, glyphosate also disrupts sulfur metabolism, especially the homeostasis of sulfate in the body. We propose here that melatonin plays an important role in distributing sulfate to the brain, and that sulfate plays an essential role in disposing of cellular debris during sleep.
Furthermore, the cows were dissected and glyphosate residues in the tissues of the kidney, liver, lung, spleen, muscles and intestines were comparable to that found in the urine. This means that the glyphosate is not being passed through the urine without affecting the organism, and that meat and dairy are an additional source of dietary glyphosate for humans. ... Glyphosate toxicity also leads to anemia, which enhances aluminum retention in the brain and induces hypoxia.
A study on the effects of hypoxia on the pineal gland showed that ... melatonin content was significantly reduced. ...
The pineal gland has significant transferrin receptor protein expression, which is enhanced under hypoxic conditions.
Neuronal injury due to hypoxia resembles the molecular abnormalities seen in Alzheimer’s disease.
There is a concern of aluminum exposure from parenteral nutrition in preterm infants, as demonstrated from long-term follow-up study of their bone health. Transferrin expression in the pineal gland is repressed by melatonin, so melatonin deficiency would work synergistically with hypoxia to promote aluminum uptake.
... Gastrointestinal symptoms are strongly correlated with autism, and this could lead to treatment with aluminum-containing antacids, thus providing a ready source of aluminum, chelated by either citrate or glyphosate, to gain entry into the general circulation. Aluminum-containing antacids can lead to constipation, which is a common symptom among autistic children. Serotonin initiates peristalsis by activating serotonin receptors on sensory neurons in the intestine, and hence a deficiency in serotonin could further promote constipation issues. Such a deficiency could easily arise in the presence of glyphosate, since serotonin is derived from tryptophan, a product of the shikimate pathway. ...
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and DHEA sulfate are neuroactive steroids that are produced from cholesterol in the brain. DHEA sulfate and pregnenolone sulfate display memory-enhancing properties in aged rodents, and they play an important regulatory role in the brain. Decreased levels of brain DHEA sulfate are correlated with reduced perfusion in the hippocampus in association with Alzheimer’s disease. Remarkably, DHEA sulfate, but not DHEA, increases the melatonin secretion by the pineal gland by 50% to 80%, but only if it is present during the daylight phase of the diurnal cycle. One can surmise that it is providing sulfate for conjugation with melatonin. ...

https://thetruthaboutcancer.com/detox-aluminum-toxicity/
By Dr. Veronique Desaulniers
TTAC Publishing, LLC
297 Kingsbury Grade, Suite 100, Mail Box 4470
Stateline, NV 89449-4470
Dr. Veronique Desaulniers, also known as “Dr. V” is a natural health pioneer with over 30 years active practice in Bio-Energetics, Digital Thermography, Meridian Stress Analysis, Homeopathy, and Chiropractic. After she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004 and healed herself through natural means, she decided to devote her time to sharing her personal, non-toxic healing journey with others. ...
#1. Avoid Products that Contain Aluminum.
... Commercial deodorant ... Commercial baking powder ... Aluminum foil and aluminum cookware ... Vaccines ... Chemtrails
#2. Consume Foods That Contain Silica
Silica is needed for many functions in the body.
It can have anti-aging effects as it helps to reinforce collagen elasticity in body tissues, and prevents arterial plaque from clogging up blood flow. Silica is also an important component for building bone, helps process key nutrients like magnesium and vitamin K2, and is vital for maintaining a strong cardiovascular system. Silica is also an antioxidant. As such, it can be a blood detoxifier.
... silica has been found to reduce aluminum levels drastically in the body.
It does this by binding with its molecules and extracting them out of brain cells and ultimately out of the body through urine and other means.
... research done by Dr. Exley found that water high in silicic acid (oxygenated silica) had a positive effect on autistic children. Exley has found that aluminum levels were lower in the children by 50 to 70 percent who drank this kind of water.
He then did the same study with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) patients.
After 13 weeks of drinking high-silica water, the same results were achieved.
In the AD patients, eight out of fifteen no longer showed neurological deterioration and three showed “substantial cognitive increase.”
Dr. Exley used Spritzer (a Malaysian bottled water) for the study, but other waters that contain high amounts of silica include Volvic and Fiji (Fiji comes in a BPA-free bottle). His suggested protocol for helping to remove aluminum from the brain is to consume 1.5 liters of high-silicic water for at least 5 days. He suggests drinking the entire 1.5 liters within an hour for the best results. Higher aluminum toxicity levels may require higher amount of water.
Diatomaceous earth (DE) is another great source of silica since it is made up mostly of the substance.
Diatomaceous earth is actually millions of tiny, fossilized aquatic microorganism called “diatoms” that are ground up into a fine, white powder. Besides aluminum detoxification, DE also chelates other heavy metals, helps with GI health, and can give you more energy.
In addition to high-silicic acid waters and DE, cucumbers, bananas, bentonite clay, and horsetail herb also contain high amounts of silica.
#3. Consume Foods That Detoxify the Body From Heavy Metals
Add at least one of the following nutritional substances to your diet every day.
All of these not only have the ability to detox the body from heavy metals, but are also neuroprotectants and immune system boosters:
- cold pressed unrefined organic coconut oil
- chia and flaxseed
- milk thistle
- vitamin C (and foods rich in this vitamin)
- spirulina and chlorella
- foods such as garlic, cilantro, and parsley ...
- fresh, filtered water (and plenty of it!)
#4. Use Other Heavy Metal Detoxification Modalities
- ... high infrared saunas
- ... full-mat Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy
- Heliotherapy (salt therapy),
- mineral baths,
- regular exercise ....
With a little knowledge and the right foods, supplements, and healthy behaviors, you CAN reduce your toxic aluminum load before its proven health effects happen to you. In addition, by keeping your immune system as vital as possible through the right diet and managing stress, you can go a long way in helping your body to detoxify the heavy metals we are exposed to every day, and do so naturally.

https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/aluminum-poisoning.html
Home Remedies:
EDTA and coriander/cilantro can be used for aluminum chelation, and supplemental magnesium is often used because aluminum particularly interferes with absorption of this nutritional mineral.
My advice for detoxing:
Consume more water to help your system do what it needs to do.
Try to eliminate/minimize anything applied to your armpits while you are detoxing.
Sweat it out: sauna, bikram yoga, high-intensity exercise will make you sweat and help your body's detox.
Consider giving yourself lymph draining massages daily. ...
Chelation: The following have been recommended for chelating aluminum:
- Coriander leaves (cilantro)
- Malic acid (supplements, raw and unfiltered ACV, green apples and many 'sour' fruits)
- Apple pectin/fibre (malic acid, I suspect)
- Turmeric
- Garlic, Onion and sulphur rich foods
- MSM or DMSO
- Magnesium (supplements or foods rich with it)
- Vitamin C
High-dosages of ascorbic acid can be used as a chelating agent in cases of aluminum toxicity.

Magnesium Malate with Malic Acid,
Julie San Luis Obispo, Ca -- 07/23/2012
"The malic acid in magnesium malate binds to any aluminum present in the body and eliminates it, allowing for healthy nerve cell growth and detoxification.
Malic acid is also known to cross the blood-brain barrier and bind to aluminum, helping to draw the aluminum away from a particular enzyme so magnesium can plug into the receptor sites instead. The aluminum can now be flushed out of the brain and the body. ...
Malic acid is also available to some smaller degree in the skin of some products like organic apples."

Sodium Aluminum Sulphate (Alum),
Replied by Ted, Bangkok, Thailand -- 06/13/2010
Aluminum sulfate tends to cause blood to precipitate because the aluminum electrical charges tend to destroy blood chemistry.
Aluminum sulfate alum is also acid, which is not biologically compatible with the pH blood chemistry.
A tiny amount of aluminum dispersed in the blood will destroy the natural blood colloid.
...the sulfate form is considered acid and also promotes blood to become acid, as acid tends to promote blood clots too.
Sulfates are prime food sources for fungus and yeast as they need that to convert to sulfites, and sulfites is toxic to the body. The body uses molybdenum to reduce sulfites and it's fungus and yeast infection, but unfortunately you don't see molybdenum supplements they do sell and if they do, the dose is far too small to be effective. I personally use sodium molybdate to help with cavities and reduce yeast infections.
In any event, aluminum destroy blood colloid from suspension in the blood plasma and tend to get them to precipitate and no longer disperses. If this happens inside our blood this may cause stroke and blood clotting.
Alum is easy to demonstrate to destroy colloidal suspension.
We use that to get rid of sewage waste to separate water and the colloidally suspended bacteria.
So if you use a cloudy water with alum, the water becomes clear in that they will settle down to the bottom of the tank and is used in water purification, however, if your blood were dispersed in the plasma, the last thing I would want is for the blood to fall out of the solution and settle down in my feet or other area, and this can easily kill me.

FEEDBACK:
- Ok, so this supplement was a complete blessing in disguise!
I originally ordered this to help with my acne and inflammation.
While it didn't do anything for my acne initially (I took two bottles worth) it DID expel parasites from my body!
After taking this I started to get stomach distress which it indicates on the bottle can happen. I started to bloat too. Then after almost three weeks I started to expel round worms and pin worms in my stool! Little did I know that this stuff does in fact kill parasites!!
- This has been a miracle drug to the person for whom I purchased it because they are insulin resistant (apparently many people are who do not know it). The person lost an incredible amount of weight as a direct result of taking this version of berberine. The only side effect seems to be a more active bowel movement schedule. Not diarrhea, just more and looser BMs.
If you are having an insulin resistance problem i.e. you can't lose weight no matter how much you exercise and cut calories you (could) consider looking into whether you are insulin resistant and taking berberine. ...
- As a woman with PCO/Insulin Resistance, everyday is a constant struggle to feel good and not gain 50 lbs from eating ... well, ANYTHING. After years of metformin and then thyroid medication, I really felt like I was never going to be in good shape & health, no matter how much I worked out and ate well.
Then my Naturopath told me about Thorne's Berberine.
About 4 weeks into taking this natural miracle, I'm effortlessly fitting into my ridiculously skinny jeans and feel better than I have in maybe forever.

BioSil 'turns on' the body's actual collagen-generating cells, known as fibroblasts.
Because BioSil works through your body's natural pathways, the collagen it generates has your own DNA fingerprint. BioSil has been tested in rigorous double-blind placebo controlled trials which have consistently shown its safety and effectiveness for collagen regeneration and improved appearance of skin, hair and nails.
For years, scientists searched for a method that would give the human body the ability to regenerate its own collagen. But it took the discovery of BioSil's patented choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid (ch-OSA®), the active ingredient in BioSil, to make genuine collagen regeneration a reality.

The analgesic properties of methyl-sulfonyl-methane (MSM) have long been recognized and many people with osteoarthritis use MSM to relieve joint pain, thereby reducing reliance on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that can have serious side effects. MSM may improve a person's mobility by slowing the breakdown of cartilage, enhancing the body's inflammatory response, and stimulating the formation of new joint and connective tissues.
MSM's benefits for the musculoskeletal system are wide-ranging as this natural, organic sulphur compound is also a potent antioxidant that has been shown to reduce muscle damage after exercise. Athletes taking MSM tend to experience less muscle soreness after a workout, recover faster for more advantageous training and have healthier bone and cartilage.

Vitamin C
- vitamin c is an essential nutrient and potent antioxidant.
Many studies have demonstrated that vitamin c can be beneficial in the treatment and prevention of the common cold, respiratory ailments and urinary tract infections.
Citrus Bioflavonoids
(from natural citrus fruits) provide a rich source of antioxidants which research has shown to benefit the cardiovascular system, osteoarthritis and in the prevention of several other chronic diseases. in addition, research suggests that bioflavonoids may help increase intracellular levels of vitamin c, while protecting the vitamin c from oxidation.
Sea Buckthorn berries
are a fruit of significant nutritional value and are renowned from centuries of medicinal usage for skin, heart and liver health in both Europe and Asia. Sea Buckthorn is very rich in natural vitamin c, vitamin E, carotenoids, proteins and phytosterols, as well as being a potent source of antioxidants and essential fatty acids.
Rutin is a citrus bioflavonoid with studies suggesting benefits for the cardiovascular and circulatory systems.
Zinc is an important nutrient that helps to maintain a healthy immune function.
Combination Rationale:
Synergy C™ combines the benefits of 1,000mg of buffered mineral vitamin c with the enhanced bioavailability action of antioxidants and flavonoids. the pH neutral buffered mineral sources of vitamin c from calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium ascorbates are combinations of ascorbic acid bonded with minerals to provide maximum absorption of vitamin c, while avoiding indigestion and protecting kidney health, which can be compromised when taking large doses of ascorbic acid alone.
Citrus bioflavonoids and rutin are powerful antioxidants which provide protection against the oxidative damage of free radicals. Some studies even suggest that bioflavonoids can help protect the antioxidant action of vitamin c. Bioflavonoids help increase intracellular levels of vitamin c and can also prolong the effectiveness of the vitamin c.
Sea Buckthorn berries contain naturally high levels of vitamin c. the health benefits of Sea Buckthorn berries can be found in the seed and pulp oil. CanPrev's Synergy C™ contains a complete whole pulp extract.
Zinc citrate has been added to complete this natural buffering activity, while supporting a strong immune function.

Lack of oxygen supply accompanies life-threatening diseases such as stroke, myocardial infarction or renal failure.
Tissues and cells are temporarily not provided with O2 (ischemia) and have to develop survival-strategies.
Cells are exposed to a second threat upon re-oxygenation (reperfusion).
Though being pivotal for survival, the sudden reperfusion of tissue induces oxidative stress and inflammatory responses.
The lack of oxygen supply is associated with a number of life-threatening diseases such as stroke, myocardial infarction or renal failure whereby cells are temporarily deprived of O2 and nutrient (ischemia). Significant cell damage can also occur during the reperfusion phase through oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. ....
COMMENT.
Oxygen Concentrators, by the nature of their temporary and periodic use, rather than a continual longer-term application, and, by their concentration of Oxygen in the proximal breathing air, rather than a provision of pure oxygen in a direct intubation through the nose ... minimizes the likelihood of the oxidative stress concerns mentioned above.
This benefit is only safe and relevant when the patient or caregiver is consciously aware of the symptoms indicating its requirement, and, the patient can begin to receive the benefits almost immediately. It will also be relevant only when oxygen supplementation can provide adequate health support for the patient by way of a temporary application. This suggests that the oxygen requirements of the patient cycle through periods of oxygen inefficiency and/or increases in requirement and that an acute or chronic oxygen debt is not present.
Many influences can initiate a cycle (temporary) of oxygen inefficiency; some of these include:
- a baseline degration of O2 assimilation through heavy metal toxicity,
- a baseline degration of O2 assimilation through chemical toxicity,
- a baseline elevation of O2 requirement through liver, thyroid, lung dysfunction,
- a baseline elevation of O2 assimilation through intestinal fungal. viral, bacterial overgrowth,
- a present experience of trauma,
- a memory of trauma.

How Novasonic Works
In 1928, Erwin Schliephake, a German scientist, discovered that sound waves accelerated healing.
When sound waves are applied to the body, the cells and tissue absorb some of the energy, thus increasing circulation to enhance healing.
A Novasonic Transducer is a compact and high-precision electrical device which transmits sound waves to the treatment area through a ‘sound-head,’ applied without pressure to the skin surface. The sound waves can penetrate up to 2 1/4? within the body, treating areas inaccessible to conventional manipulative techniques. The intensity of the waves and associated vibration can be adjusted easily, just like the volume on a radio.
The Novasonic massager utilizes a sound transducer that vibrates at selected frequencies within the audible range (between 16-20,000 Hertz). Sound waves are transmitted to the treatment area through a specially designed “sound head”, applied without pressure to the skin surface.
The sound waves can penetrate up to 2 ¼” within the body, treating areas inaccessible to other techniques.
Furthermore, the intensity of the waves and accompanying vibration can be adjusted easily.
The unit may look like an ultrasound unit, but Novasonic uses audible sounds, a different technology.
This provides intensive stimulation of the natural functions of the cellular, circulatory and nervous systems.
The Novasonic has two speeds (high and low), and an intensity control knob.
There are two sound heads; flat for large areas, and round for points.
The Novasonic can be used to stimulate cartilage, joints, muscles, and tissue.
The direct consequence of each molecular impact is to create altering compression and dilation zones in effect, a form of massage, but at a cellular level, deep within the treated tissue. This stimulation results in an immediate and demonstrable tightening of the cell-wall membranes, leading to increased blood circulation and improved metabolism. It is by this intensive stimulation of the natural functions of the cellular, circulatory and nervous systems of the body that the beneficial effects of the therapy are achieved. Novasonic simply gives nature a helping hand. Users report significant relief, particularly in the joints.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
How does the Novasonic unit actually function?
Novasonic has a small head in the end of the unit that turns ordinary, household 60 Hz electricity into a range of audible sound waves that can easily penetrate the body up to 2.5 inches deep.
-
Does the Novasonic generate heat in the tissues?
No heat is generated. Any warming sensation is due to increased circulation.
-
Just what is it about the Novasonic that does cause some relief?
The sound waves or vibrations are in the hearing range and they stimulate local circulation and relax muscles and tissues just like any type of massage would, except much more gently.
-
What are the basics of the Novasonic Unit?
The Novasonic handle weighs less than one pound. It uses less than 25 watts of electricity.
The unit is very portable for trips since it is less than two pounds with the carrying case.
-
Are there any special instructions for best and safe use of the Novasonic?
Always unplug the transformer when not in use (extends the life of the transformer).
It is recommended that the unit not be used on the lower back or the abdominal region of any pregnant woman.
It is recommended that it not be used on the chest area of a person using a pacemaker.
These are all reasonable and prudent precautions.
If you have blood clot problems of the lower leg do not use the unit on your calf since any form of massage there could loosen the clots leading to extremely serious outcomes. As always, if you have any medical condition you are strongly urged to consult with your physician. Keep in mind that this is NOT a medical device and we make no medical claims regarding use.
-
Do I have to push the unit really hard against my body to get good results?
No, in fact use only a light touch. About 1 or 2 ounces of pressure is best.
If you push hard, you will dampen the power of the unit and stop its effectiveness.
-
How well built is the Novasonic unit?
It is an extremely fine, quality unit made in Europe by skilled technicians.
The unit is a good appliance and like any quality unit should be treated as such.
It is advised that turning the power knob should be done gently.
It is also advised that if you use the unit with creams or oils that a plastic baggy be placed over the head of the unit to protect it from the creams and oils since they will rapidly degrade the rubber membrane found just under the power head. This use of oils and cremes is not covered under the warranty and will lead to repair fees.
If you choose to change the head — screw off the head and screw on the other head, but MBR>
please do NOT over-tighten the head as this can possibly damage the unit.
The Novasonic should yield great comfort for years if carefully used and kept clean.
This chrome model includes a bi-modal switch with percussion therapy.
2 year manufacturer warranty. Ships via Standard Delivery.

I gathered and researched this data, mediated with the Grace of God through prayer, first, as a benefit in my interest in exploring available digital information which would acquaint me with the overall content related to the subject. I have found that God is ALWAYS available when we are Reverent in our Asking, open-minded in our Listening, and, Assertive in our Choice of Action. Doctors did not expect me to survive birth. In the past 25 years, medical and health "experts" have cautioned or directed me, more than 14 times, that I had little time left to live, or would die ... because THEY did not understand my challenges, were not motivated to professionally diagnose, or, chose to superstitiously recall as absolute previously flawed training. I am still alive beyond age 70. With the assistance of God, my Personality, the research and lack of dismissiveness of a number of persons ... I have found resolution to numerous health challenges. This has enabled me to assist many others who had been abandoned. May it also empower you. This is one document which you may find helpful as a BASIC introduction to the subject.
