HC912 Hydrangea Root - 100g HC1100 Marshmallow Root - 100g HC1370 Gravel Root (Queen of the Meadow) - 100g HC1651 Uva Ursi LF - 100g NSP0710 Uva Ursi Capsules - 440mg HGO Golden Rod Tincture - 20ml HGO5 Golden Rod Tincture - 50ml EZIN Zinc Zenith Formula 60t Eagle Pharmaceutical’s brand EMAC Magnesium Chloride 100 tabs Eagle Pharmaceutical’s brand HRMGL Vegetable Glycerine - 500ml HBCC Black Cherry Conc. NSP0300 Ginger Capsules - 500mg Measure ¼ cup of each root and set them to soak together in 10 cups of cold tap water, using a non-metal contrainer and a non-metal lid. After four hours, or overnight, add 8oz black cherry concentrate, heat to boiling and simmer for twenty minutes. Drink ¼ cup as soon as it is cool enough. Pour the rest through a bamboo strainer into a sterile pint jar (glass) and several freezable containers. Regrigerate the glass jar. Boil four bunches of fresh parsley, after rinsing, in 1 quart of water for 3 minutes. Drink ¼ cup when cool enough. Refrigerate a pint and freeze one pint. Throw away the parsley. Dose: each morning, pour together ¾ cup of the root mixture and ½ cup of parsley water, filling a large mug. Add 20 drops of goldenrod tincture and 1 tbs of glycerin. Drink this mixture in divided doses throughout the day. Keep cold. Do not drink it all at once or you will get stomach ache and feel pressure in your bladder. If your stomach is very sensitive, start on half this dose. Save the roots after the first boiling, storing them in the freezer. After 13 days when your supply runs low, boil the same roots a second time, but add only 6 cups water and simmer only 10 minutes. This will last another 8 days, for a total of three weeks. You may cook the roots a third time if you wish, but the recipe gets less potent. If your problem is severe, only cook them twice. After three weeks, repeat with fresh herbs. You need to do the Kidney Cleanse for 6 weeks to get good results, longer for severe problems. Also take: one ginger capsule with each meal; one Uva Ursi capsule with breakfast and two with supper one Vitamin B6 (250mg) per day Magnesium oxide (300mg) once per day NOTES: Heat this mixture to boiling every fourth day to sterilize it. Use herbs with high potency (strong fragrance). Hydrangea (hydrangea arborescens) is a common herb Gravel root - Eupatorium purpureum; is a wild flower Marshmallow root - Althea officinallis; is mucilaginous and kills pain Buy or grow fresh parsley - dried is useless If you are allergic to Goldenrod, leave it out Ginger from the grocery store works fine - you can encapsulate it yourself There are probably dozens of herbs that can dissolve kidney crystals and stones. If you can only find several of those in the recipe, make the recipe anyway; it will just take longer to get results. Remember that vitamin B6 and magnesium, taken daily, can prevent oxalate stones from forming, but only if you stop drinking tea. Tea has 15.6 mg oxalic acid per cup. A tall glass of iced tea would give you over 20mg oxalic acid. Switch to herb teas. Cocoa and chocolate, also, have too much oxalic acid to be used as beverages. Remember, too, that phosphate crystals are made when you eat too much phosphate. Phosphate levels are high in meats, breads, cereals, pastas, and carbonated drinks. Eat less of these, and increase your milk (2%), fruits and vegetables. Drink at least 1.5 litres of water per day. The Cure for All Diseases Copyright 1995 by Hulda Regehr Clark, Ph.D.,N.D.

A best kept secret is that to detox for mercury poisoning (if you ever had amalgam fillings, your body likely stored up more then it can handle), Cilantro will do the trick nicely. Be sure to have done a general cleansing first, an overloaded or un-functional intestinal tract could bring unpleasant surprises when the mercury is hitting the system: Coriander has the same qualities as the plant, however the leaf has a stronger effect but the fruit has some things that the leaf doesn’t have. Use on a 3 to 1 ratio: 3 parts leaf, 1 part fruit. Dose Cilantro, Two 650mg capsules/3 times a day. Most of the information mentions using it fresh-It is believed that the active component in cilantro are easily destroyed during processing. I have a tendency to believe this, especially since my experiments with cleaning stainless steel only works with the fresh plant. Studies have shown that cilantro or CORIANDER (Chinese parsley) can help move mercury and other toxic metals out of the central nervous system for excretion through the urine or feces. To increase your intake of cilantro, Dr. Klinghardt suggests making this “pesto” to increase your intake of cilantro: Start with fresh, organic cilantro and wash it thoroughly. Place the cilantro in blender, along with water, sea salt and olive oil. Blend the ingredients until creamy. Dr. Klinghardt recommends taking 1-3 tbsp of this cilantro pesto, three times daily with meals. For those suffering from neurological problems, such as Alzheimer’s or brain “fogginess” and difficulty concentrating, the pesto may be taken more often, he says. Mercury Detox Source: Author: David G. Williams, DC,Title: The Poor Man’s Chelation Therapy There’s nothing I like more than learning about inexpensive, common herbs or spices that exhibit unusual healing properties. Historically, the use of herbs and spices in cooking evolved as a method to preserve foods and make them safer to store and eat. While we’ve grown accustomed to using these items to enhanced or accentuate flavors of food, researchers continue to discover that they have much more to offer than just good taste. A recent example involves the work of Dr. Yoshiaki Omura. Dr. Omura recently informed us that he discovered almost by accident, that the leaves of the coriander plant can accelerate the excretion of mercury, lead and aluminum from the body. He had been treating several patients for an eye infection called trachoma (granular conjunctivitis), which is caused by the micro-organism Chlamydia trachomatis. Following the standard treatment with antibiotics. Dr. Omura found that the patients’ symptoms would clear up initially, then recurwithin a few month. He experienced similar difficulties in treating viral related problems like Herpes Simplex types I & II and Cytomegalovirus infection. Cilantro Helps Flush Out Heavy Metals After taking a closer look, Dr. Omura found those organisms seemed to hide and flourish in area of the body where there were concentrations of heavy metals like mercury, lead and aluminum. Somehow the organicism were able to use the toxic metals to protect themselves from the antibiotics. It just so happens that while he was testing for those metals, Dr. Omura noticed the mercury level in the urine increased after one consumed a healthy serving of Vietnamese soup. The soup contains Chinese parsley, or it is better known in this country, cilantro. (Some of you may also know it as coriander, since it comes form the leaves of the coriander plant.) Further testing revealed that eating cilantro also increased urinary excretion of lead and aluminum. And when cilantro was used concurrently with antibiotics or natural anti-viral agents and/ or fatty acids like EPA with D.A., the above infection could be eliminated for good. (Acupnct Electrother Res. 95:20 (3-4): 195-229.) Dr. Omura has made a remarkable discovery. He’s found a novel technique which greatly increases our ability to clear up recurring infections both viral and bacterial. And perhaps more exciting, he’s discovered an inexpensive, easy way to remove (or “chelate”) toxic metals from the nervous system and body tissue - one that anybody can use. This is Great News for Amalgam Sufferers Chelation therapy using chemicals like EDTA has long been used to help remove these heavy metals, ut cilantro is the only natural substance I’M aware of that has demonstrated this ability. This will become news for people suffering from the ill effect of amalgam dental fillings, which contains approximately 50% mercury. Dr. Omura recently performed another study in which three amalgam filling where removed from an individual using all of the precautions available to prevent absorption of the mercury from the amalgam. Even with strong air and water suction, water rinses, and a rubber dental dam, significant amounts of mercury were later found in the individual’s lungs, kidneys,, endocrine organs, liver and heart. There was no mercury in these tissue prior to the amalgam removal. Remarkably, without the help of any chelation agents, cilantro was able to remove the mercury in two to three weeks. (Acupunct Electrother Res 96;21 (2): 133-60.) Since some of the patients didn’t like the taste of fresh cilantro, Dr. Omura had a pharmaceutical company create a 100 mg cilantro tablet. In the above dental study, one tablet was taken four times a day. As of yet, I haven’t been able to find a tested commercial tablet of cilantro. It is believed that the active component in cilantro are easily destroyed during processing. For this reason, I recommend sticking to fresh herb. It can be eaten raw in soup or salad, on tacos, or as garnish with practically any dish. Recipe for Cilantro Pesto (Make That “Chelation Pesto”) I would think it should also work if the cilantro were juiced, but perhaps the easiest and tastiest way to use the herb would be as the main ingredient in a home made pesto sauce. You can start with the basic recipe below and add other nuts and spices to suite your taste. Cilantro Pesto 1 clove of garlic ½ cup of almonds, cashews, or other nuts 1 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves 2 tablespoons lemon juice 6 tablespoons olive oil Put the cilantro and olive oil in blender and process until the cilantro s chopped. Add the rest of the ingredients and process to a lumpy past. (You may need to add a touch of hot water and scrape the sides of the blender.) You can change the consistency by altering the amount of olive oil and lemon juice, but keep the 3:1 ratio of oil to juice. (If freezes well, so you can make several batches at once.) In light of the ever-worsening quality of our water and soil and the widespread use of metals in everyday items like deodorant and cans, I would seriously suspect that all of us have some toxic metals in our body. And unless they are carried out by a chelating agent, things like lead, aluminum and mercury remain in the body forever. Besides associated with arthritic condition, depression, muscle pain and weakness, memory loss and deterioration, and maybe even Alzheimer’s disease. Summer’s here and cilantro is readily available across the country. It is very popular herb in Mexican cooking, and due to their large Mexican populations is easy to find anywhere from Texas to California. In other areas, you may need to visit an Oriental market or specialty supermarket, (Remember, it’s also called Chinese parsley.) I would highly recommend that you take advantage of this “poor man’s chelation treatment”. I’m in the process of doing it now my shelf and intend to do so at least once or twice a year from now on. All it takes is adding fresh cilantro to your everyday foods or eating a couple teaspoons of cilantro pesto a day for two or three weeks; either will give the dose Dr. Omura used in his research. Judging by the price around here, that means you’d be spending less than a dollar for two weeks of cleansing! Of course, if you really don’t like cilantro, you can always spend a thousands times that much on a series of intravenous chelation treatments... Zookie’s report upon using this detox: DAY 3 of my test - so far so good, this should be the day that I would start noticing it, although I noticed the diuertic effect of it on the 1st day. That hummer REALLY makes ya pee! Have noticed a slight reduction in some of my many aches-n-pains, but I’ve been there before. Too early to chalk that up to the cilantro and no idea if that’s just temporary or what. It’s fixed (or fixing) all kinds of chronic ailments I’ve had for the last 5 years, or so. The actions of cilantro are many and varied, so it’s difficult for me to say that the problems have been mercury related and/or its other actions are what I needed (maybe a combo of both?). Matters not – I sure as heck wouldn’t have thought of using cilantro for anything else, it just got my attention because of the connection to mercury removal. All the rest is a welcomed bonus (if the problems were not related to mercury). I’m making a fresh batch of cilantro. Doing it a tad differently:3 parts Cilantro (leaves-n-stems), 1 part Coriander (fruit of Cilantro) and 1 part Parsley (for the kidneys). Two forms of mercury are of intereste here: Inorganic elemental mercury, and organic methylmercury. What is methylmercury? Evidently a highly dilute vapor of inorganic mercury covers much of planet Earth’s atmosphere. Though this gaseous metal is toxic to a wide range of animals, the minute quantities in air—and washing out in rain—are usually too small to be hazardous. However, once this metal enters water, it becomes more susceptible to methylation, which is the attachment of one carbon and three hydrogen atoms. Methylation creates an organic compound that evidently can move more readily through biological systems than can the inorganic element by itself. Evidently since methylmercury is more fat soluble than inorganic mercury, it can more readily cross the blood-brain barrier or pass through the placenta of an unborn child, for example. Mercury toxicity problems in lakes seldom develop unless microbes or chemical conditions within a lake transforms elemental mercury into methylmercury. Nature has probably had this problem since the beginning of time, but man-made pollutants have greatly escalated the effect. For example, a combination of acid rain plus the flooded vegetation, trees, etc. from newly created reservoirs less than 30 years old, can greatly stimulate the various bacteria which create methylmercury. For example, an article in SCIENCE NEWS tells how fish are relatively unaffected by low-level methylmercury concentrations, compared to humans or other fish-eaters, and thus can accumulate substantial amounts in their flesh without visible effect. When animals or humans eat these contaminated fish, however, they run the risk of methylmercury poisoning. And, as noted by Thomas W. Clarkson of the Univ. of Rochester (NY), since this pollutant is a neurological poison, species having the most advanced nerve/brain development— such as humans—tend to be the most vulnerable. (“Mercurial Risks From Acid’s Reign”, SCIENCE NEWS, Vol 139, No. 10, March 9, 1991, Pp. 152-156) The U.S. Food & Drug Administration forbids the sale of fish having more than 1 part-per-million of methylmercury, while some individual states have even more strict regulations. For example, Wisconsin is 0.5 ppm, and Minnesota is 0.16 ppm. The predator hazard: Some bass caught in the Florida Everglades contain up to 4.4 ppm of mercury, enough to threaten predators such as eagles and osprey. Dead loons found in Florida have had potentially lethal amounts of methylmercury found in their brains. The human hazard: Adults eating large amounts of methylmercury-contaminated fish can suffer irreversible nerve damage, starting with a chronic numbness or tingling around the mouth or in the arms and legs. Children exposed in the womb to low doses of mercury can develop a range of more serious problems, from delays in speech or walking, to birth defects involving brain damage. Because of the special vulnerability of children and developing fetuses, state health advisories on the consumption of local fish typically emphasize the risk to pregnant women and youngsters, but methylmercury also threatens adults, especially Native Americans living on subsistence diets in which their protein comes mostly from eating possible tainted fish. In broad epidemiologic studies of residential communities poisoned by illegal industrial-mercury discharges, Thomas W. Clarkson of the Univ. of Rochester (NY) and others have detected a risk of fetal brain damage among pregnant women who received daily exposures of just 0.6 to 1.1 microgram of mercury, per each kilogram of their body weight. FDA diet surveys indicate that the average American adult normally consumes only .05 micrograms of mercury per kilogram of body weight. However, communities that depend on fish for their dietary protein— including from the “pristine” waters in Canada and Sweden—have diets that apparently can provide 200 times the federally permissible mercury limit for fish sold in the U.S. This has led to regular “fish-eating” advisory warnings being issued by 21 U.S. states plus two Canadian provinces, which name the affected lakes & rivers. For example, a recent New York advisory (early 1991) recommended that women of childbearing age, and all children under 15 years old, not eat ANY fish from the waters listed therein. Researchers who study the methylmercury problems point to industry combustion pollutants in the air as the primary source of mercury in most highly contaminated lake fish. The direct deposition of mercury from acid rain accounted for approximately half of the mercury, according to more sensitive breakthrough modern mercury-testing procedures which weren’t available even in the early 1980’s. Microscopically small quantities of inorganic mercury are enough to cause a major problem. Biophysical ecologist Greg Mierle, of the Dorset (Ontario) Research Center said that the scary thing is that very low levels of mercury typically found in acid rain can cause such dramatic contamination. Industrial mercury fallout, generally measured at only a few parts per trillion in rainwater, could add as little as 300 milligrams of mercury a year to a 25-acre lake, according to an August EPRI report. Yet Mierle says this “is more than enough to account for all the mercury that we’re seeing in fish” and other animal and plant life. For example, fish retrieved from 90 to 95 percent of Ontario lakes tested so far, have proven so heavily tainted with methylmercury that they have triggered health advisories. One-third of Florida’s rivers, lakes, and streams have had recent fish-consumption advisories issued. Minnesota has published consumption advisories for 285 bodies of water more than half of those sampled—and Wisconsin has done the same for 154. Michigan has extended a blanket warning on methylmercury-tainted fish to cover all of its estimated 10,000 inland lakes. According to a report by researchers from the Swedish Environmental Research Institute in the September 1990 issue of Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry, more than 9,400 Swedish lakes should be blacklisted due to the toxic levels of methylmercury in fish found to be higher than 1 milligram per kilogram. Some people are dead-wrong, in trusting mercury vapor. In 1990 newspapers carried the story of a man in Chicago who attempted to melt down silver amalgam fillings and thus recover the pure silver. He had gathered a quantity of scrap dental amalgam from various dentists and then proceeded to melt the substance down, over an open flame in his basement. Escaping mercury vapors subsequently killed that man and three other members of his family, and OSHA/EPA was forced to condemn the entire house as a toxic waste area, since the entire structure was permeated with toxic mercury vapor fumes. The house had to be carefully dismantled and hauled off to a toxic waste disposal area. That man obviously had a fatal misunderstanding of the definition of the word “amalgam”, which literally means “mercury, plus something else.” In Sweden it was determined several years ago that one previously-unsuspected high source of environmental mercury poisoning from silver amalgams was downwind from crematoriums. In Leicester, England, Geologist Allan Mills wondered how mercury from dental amalgam fillings might be contributing to the rise in airborne mercury in the UK. He set out to calculate the annual release of mercury from a single major crematorium in his city. Based on government data, he figured that the average Briton carried 5 amalgam fillings to his death, which averaged 3 grams of mercury per person. He calculated that the 3,723 cremations carried out by that one crematorium in 1989 alone, released 11 kilograms (24 pounds) of vaporized mercury into the air. These findings—as reported in Nature, and then in the 9/24/91 issue of the Wall Street Journal—prompted his conclusion that a ruling is immediately needed either for the safe disposal of extracted filled teeth before cremation, or the removal of just the fillings alone, or at least that charcoal filters be installed in the smokestacks of crematoriums before they are licensed. (Mercury-Free News, Vol. 3, No. 3, p.19 800-243-2782.) Germany in the 1940’s: Regarding the German death-camps, an estimated TEN METRIC TONS of mercury (from victim’s amalgams) were vaporized in the death ovens of Germany in the 1940’s, and released into the surrounding air. Considering that the latest sensitive tests for the presence of mercury in the environment were only developed in the 1980’s, one wonders how productive it would be to search out the above areas and then comprehensively investigate the land and biology in the prevailing downwind direction, to see what could be found.” |
