The debate centers on whether the use of the toxin mercury as a preservative in vaccines for infants has played a role in the surge in autism cases. No answer proving or disproving a link has emerged, but in Evidence of Harm: Mercury in Vaccines and the Autism Epidemic, author David Kirby sympathizes with the drug industry’s opponents: the parents of children with autism who cannot otherwise account for it.
There is an effective solution for the heavy metal toxicity: zeolite, green superfoods and Dr. Vickery’s Platinum Plus free form amino acids. We have posted several graphs that demonstrate their success in a very graphic way.
Historically, the medical, scientific and governmental regulatory agencies have grossly underestimated the toxicity of mercury and have allowed it into medical and dental products without warning patients of the imminent and inherent dangers. Somehow our most professional people got into their heads that a little bit will not hurt anyone; thinking, mistakenly, that the dose makes the poison. This might be true for some substances, but it is a rule that does not work for plutonium and it does not work for mercury. We cannot possibly imagine industry spraying a continent with a ton of plutonium, but we allow thousands of tons of a nerve poison like mercury to be put directly into the air. Who needs an atomic war when we have industry and government teaming up to poison us and our children with nerve poison pumped by the ton into the air we all breathe.
There are giant commercial interests that serve the basic needs of modern civilization and they are driving worldwide expansion of coal-burning power stations. The coal industry is planning new plants in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Arizona and New Mexico and Nevada. Under the Bush plan, many of these plants were likely to buy credits from other plants, meaning that though national emissions might decrease by an estimated 21 percent in five years, local emissions of mercury would increase in several states. For years health advocates have pressured the EPA to set across-the-board pollution controls that, in the view of some scientists, would reduce mercury emissions 90 percent nationwide within three years. Instead, the administration chose a greatly reduced plan that will allow many tons more into the atmosphere. And at one million grams per ton, each ton is significant.
The terrible news offered by Dr. Palmer from the University of Texas and the Harvard Research team is that the mercury in the air is having its direct effect on all of us. No longer is it just the fish, the vaccines or the dental amalgam that are saturating our bodies with mercury. Americans are going to have to wake up to the fact that mercury is in the air they breathe, in the soil they plant in, and in the water they drink, and getting rid of these sources will be infinitely more difficult than removing thimerosal from childhood vaccines.
So what can you do? Probably just start taking the free form amino acid formula, and help escort the accumulated toxic metals out of your body. If you have amalgam fillings, you may as well assume that you are toxic already. If you eat lake fish, you probably are contaminated. I have my own personal testimony: I became mercury toxic after several fillings were put in my mouth. While I curse the ignorance that allowed me to consent to the dentist to put them in, I also thank the Creator, because without the health problems I had to learn how to cure, I would not be here today – with my level of expertise in natural healing. I take my Platinum Plus every day – it is helping, for sure.
Read the whole article about mercury…
There are so many important things crossing my desk, I am having hard time choosing what to write about. Perhaps we need to increase our newsletter frequency to twice a month… I see more and more evidence of polarization in our society. It reminds me of the effect of light and shadow – the brighter the light, the deeper the shadow appears. I need to keep reminding myself that it is just a shadow …
I want to report that the FuZheng Foot Pouches have been received very well – we have already several customers reordering, and reporting that they are working rather well. Exsula products are in production, and we are closer to having them in immediate supply.
We continue to work on the upgrades to our website and the shopping carts. I was hoping to be announcing their release already, but we have found some bugs. Software development is not as easy as one might like …

Is food becoming less nutritious?
Chuck Benbrook, science advisor to the Greenfield, Massachussets-based Organic Center for Education and Promotion wrote: “The faster a plant grows/is pushed, the more intensive the production system, the higher the yield goal, the greater the chance that the harvest from that crop will be deficient in some set of minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants.” Well, yes. What else would you expect? The plants are growing without pulling in the minerals they used to get when they were allowed to grow at natural rates. So now what? We believe that supplementation is the only way out, until we all as a society decide that we have to demand quality food, and by quality I mean nutrients, not looks.
A study of 43 vegetables and fruits suggests their nutritional value has declined in the past 50 years, scientists say. The researchers suggested the decline may result from the fact that farmers have been planting crops designed to improve traits other than nutritional value, such as size. Broccoli — a favorite among many mothers, thanks to its alleged nutritional value — is one of the many garden crops whose nutrient content has been declining in recent decades, according to studies. The researchers said the study also raises the possibility that similar declines might have affected other food crops, such as grains. More research is required to check whether this is so, said Donald Davis, the study’s lead author. The study was designed to investigate the effects of modern agricultural methods on foods’ nutrient content. Davis and colleagues studied U.S. Department of Agriculture data on garden crops, mostly vegetables, but also melons and strawberries, comparing data from both 1950 and 1999.
Life Enthusiast Co-op has been concetrating on mineral and nutrient rich supplementation for years. Exsula Superfoods, MMP Green Ionic Minerals, Twilight America Topically Everything, Ormus supplements, Himalayan Crystal Salts – all these products help restore the mineral balance we all require to keep well.
The other day the importance of minerals came to me and I expressed it this way: Our aura is the reflection of our well-being. The aura is dependent on the electric charge our cells are able to carry. The electric charge is directly dependent on the quality of the electrolyte in the cellular battery, and that is directly related to the mineral content of the bodily fluids involved in these exchanges. In other word: the total dissolved solids in our cellular structures will dictate how well we feel and function.
Runaway healthcare costs became an issue in the US election. Seniors surpassed wayward teens as America’s biggest drug lawbreakers, crossing over to Canada to get cheaper supplies. In September, Merck withdrew its arthritis drug Vioxx, which spawned lawsuits. Lurking beneath the headlines was Wall Street’s worry that Big Pharma’s pipeline of new drugs looked dry. The S&P 500 Pharmaceutical index fell 9.5 per cent for the year. One controversy looks likely to fester. Big Pharma would love to put it to rest, but the April publication of a well-researched book is likely to push it to the fore.

In case you have not heard, America is now officially the most obese country in the world! We now have two out of three people overweight, and almost half of them officially obese. Obesity is not something to take lightly, pun intended. But you already know that. What I want to tell you is this: it is NOT your fault. Yes, you know the rules: if you take in more calories than what you use up, it will end up stored as fat. But why are you so compelled to eat more than you need to?
So whose fault is it? I blame the industrial production methods that have been gradually taking over our food processing industry. It starts with government subsidized large scale farming of cereal plants – wheat, corn and soy – on overly fertilized but under mineralized soils. The top prize goes to the packaged foods that are so rich in addictive flavors and stimulants, that you stand no chance to resist. Once you become addicted, it is nearly impossible to break free.
The biggest trap of all is the “convenience food” and “fast food”. It is now cheaper to eat at a fast food restaurant than to make a wholesome meal at home. Probably because of the scale of production, the industrial producers can make a “meal” for less than you could. Today food is less expensive than it ever was, but unfortunately you are getting exactly what you are paying for. Not much in the way of REAL nutrition.
Genetically we are designed to operate in a world that existed about 10,000 years ago. We are programmed to seek out sweet (ripe fruit or berries), salty (minerals), and fat (lots of energy). In the pre-industrial age these flavors were not easily found, and enjoying them was only natural. But now you are not foraging for food in a forest, you are in a strip mall. And you are not hiking 10 miles to get there, you are sitting in a vehicle, that is probably even air-conditioned. Food producers may be not aware of this consciously, but they are selling you food that is addictive, and that is bad for you in almost every sense of the word.
Consuming conventional commercially-grown food that is pesticide-sprayed, herbicide treated, artificially-fertilized, chemically preserved, colored and sweetened has its consequences. Estimated 47 million Americans are now suffering with Syndrome X.
Recently the movie Food, Inc. was broadcast on CBC. You can catch it online on their website for free. Although, I think we should all buy multiple copies to share with loved ones.
Apparently yes! I learned that tonight on the American Food Revolution with Jamie Oliver (is he not lucky to have Ryan Seacrest as his producer?). Yes it is so, USDA guide that forces the people who prepare school lunches to adhere to very finely balanced and calculated guidelines (based on wrong premises) has them listed under veggies.
I found the show – I watched two hours of it tonight – oddly fascinating. I knew that things were not all that good “out there”, but I had no idea they were this bad. The thing that shook me most was the segment where Jamie Oliver asked a classroom full of six year old kids to name some vegetables. Not one of the kids recognized a potato, never mind something as exotic as a broccoli. Yet, they readily recognized pizza and french fries. This tells me that the kids do not see food preparation in their homes, and that is frightening to me. Why?
The gigantic divide between the raw foodies that are our typical customers, and the “mainstream” America that is microwaving frozen pizza boxes bought at a supermarket on sale for $0.50 each. Here we are feeling proud about offering high grade superfood blends that cost mere $2.00 per serving. What a disconnect!
I think many people have gotten the idea that saving on food is a smart thing. But when you buy cheap food, are you not cheating yourself in the most cruel way? Would you buy half-price weak and deficient lubricant for your car and brag about the great deal you got? Would you not expect it to wreck your engine?
I hear this during some of the coaching phone calls I do: your [chlorella] is more expensive than the one I can get at [my discount store]. My response is: “Have you tasted the difference?” Anyway, I hope you are getting the message: if you cheat yourself by purchasing inferior quality food, you will get inferior results, which means illness, and early death from the degenerative conditions that are undeniably on the rise.
I noticed that food these days is much cheaper than it used to be. Especially prepared food is cheaper than it ever was. The problem with it is that it is worth exactly what you are asked to pay for it: not much! Fields have become exhausted and the food grown upon them has only 30% of the mineral content it had 80 years ago.
I really felt sorry for the family they interviewed on the show: they ate such a large amount of fried processed food – no raw food in their entire week’s supply. No wonder they were all oversize, with visible skin problems and life expectancy cut by decades.
Anyway – am I preaching to the choir? I would so love to have our Exsula Superfoods promoted on the program. We would have the sick, tired, overweight, malnourished people in great shape in less than a month.
In addition to the Star Chamber, which I spoke about in my previous post, Twilight America has a number of great products which are designed specifically to restructure water. This allows it to be used more efficiently throughout the body. The body’s cells become far more hydrated and better function and health is achieved throughout.
One of these devices is the Laminar Crystal, which can be placed in large containers of water to help with the restructuring process. Twilight America also offers what we can Crystal Pearls and Crystal Cupcakes. The pearls are a type of ceramic device that can be used to keep small containers, such as your water bottle, of water.
The Crystal Cupcakes are used for energy work. They are great for massage work and other physical therapy and actually help restructure the water inside your body, but can also be carried in your pocket.
One of more miraculous stories I have heard about people using the Twilight America products, specifically the cupcake, has to do with one area that all middle aged men are concerned with: the prostate.
I have known several men who have had prostate problem and have used the cupcake by sitting on it like a chicken would an egg. This allows that energy to radiate out the product to the area where the prostate is. The product dissolves the energy blockages existing there.
The next thing they know, their function has returned to normal. That’s pretty exciting to an older male who figures he is going to have to deal with this problem for the rest of his life.
With over 35% of men over 50 suffering from an enlarged prostate, I can’t think of a better product than Twilight America’s Cupcake. Every man who has ever used it for this purpose hasn’t been disappointed.
Many of the products we sell at the Life Enthusiast Co-Op are based on the same concept that makes the Star Chamber such a great product. This concept is one of energy and energy treatment. Energy medicine and energized water are slowly becoming more well known in the health community.
When you change the structure of water for better or worse, you affect the body’s ability to utilize whatever the product using the water contains. Dr. Emoto’s work is really the best example of this I can think of.
I just recently rewatched one of my favorite movies called “What the Bleep Do We Know?” It brings up these issues a lot and of course has a segment devoted Dr. Emoto’s work. I really recommend this movie to those who are interested in the concepts discussed in this blog.
One of the great things of about the Star Chamber is that it really solves one of the biggest health problems plaguing our society, which is how to get water that will nourish your body and hydrate your cells.
When you run water through industrial piping, which are concrete, metal or plastic, the water tends to become clumped today in large groups of molecules. Think of it like a group of twenty children all walking on the street holding hands. You can’t separate one from the other.
This affects how our bodies receive the water we absorb. It becomes much harder for our bodies to absorb the water and use it efficiently. Our cells may not be properly hydrated. Before your body can use this water, it needs to break the bonds, which can require extra energy that is unnecessary.
The Star Chamber ensures that the water is properly broken down and structured in a way that your body can maximize on its potential.
One of the best products offered by our amazing brand Twilight America is called the Star Chamber. This product is very special because is it essentially a mini receiver or antenna. It literally sucks the life energy in, transferring it to all water-filled bodies around it, mainly you.
All it takes is placing the receiver in your home and letting it transform your space into an island of love and peace that will fill your living environment. Negative energies or vibrations become a thing of the past. The Star Chamber resonates with planetary energies that animate all life. This force is known by many names including Chi, Prana and Divine Love.
The Star Chamber arrives as a small stack of laminar crystal, filled with ceramic pieces. It is shipped to you fully assembled and ready for use. It is approximately 4” tall and uses a Crystal Cupcake as its base.
One of the great things of about the Star Chamber is that it really solves one of the biggest health problems plaguing our society, which is how to get water that will nourish your body and hydrate your cells.

Current research is showing more and more that when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle, it is not just what you eat that matters. Equally important is your body’s ability to absorb the nutrients in the foods you eat. Since algae exist at the bottom of the food chain, they provide nutrition in its most simple form. The cellular wall of algae is also unusually soft, allowing rapid absorption of vital nutrients. There is no better source of easily-digested whole food nutrition.
You might be surprised to know that the brain is easily most malnourished organ in the entire human body. The brain uses a great deal of the body’s available resources (20%) despite making up a small part of the body’s total weight (2%). Every neuron in the brain has a huge appetite for energy and resources and there are over 10 billion neurons in the body. One of the great things about algae is its ability to metabolize nitrogen gas directly from the oxygen gas all around us. Using this process algae biosynthesize a great deal of Low Molecular Weight Peptide Groups, which are the precursors of neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are involved in a good many of the body’s processes which affect its metabolic functions.
If you’re interested in Algae supplementation, you should check out our Health Education page where there is plenty of info on algae. People I’ve spoken with who have started using our algae products have reported a great deal of benefits. They claim to have improved mental focus and concentration, along with an increase of energy and confidence. They find their immune systems kick in quicker and more powerfully, while mood swings are stabilized and digestion is regular and efficient.
Imagine being complimented for the healthy glow of your skin, hair and nails! It can happen when you use algae. In fact, the nutrients in E3Live make this possible. This fantastic product stimulates the growth of your hair and nails while providing energy and all-natural antioxidants that give your skin a much younger, supple look.
If you are finding you are not quite getting all that you want out of your diet and not feeling as great as you know you could, I strongly suggest you think about trying algae supplementation. The reason I say and one of the most remarkable things about algae is their extremely thin cellular wall. This essentially means that it is far easier for your body to break down, digest and use than other foods. What’s remarkable about algae is it is very easy for your body to assimilate around 97% of the nutrients found in the algae. That is a remarkable number and all those nutrients go directly to work to help your body with its processes.
The fact that your body can digest algae easily wouldn’t mean anything if algae wasn’t extremely beneficial to your body and its processes. Algae supplementation can help your body delay or reverse any signs of premature aging, repair cellular damage as well as eliminating destructive toxins. It can help keep your diet on track by promoting a healthy appetite and also allows increased oxygen flow in your body, improving your mental focus and concentrative powers.
Algae supplementation, along with removing toxins, also strengthens the immune system giving you the power to fight over disease more thoroughly. It promotes the growth of strong body tissues including finger and toe nails, hair and skin. Algae have also been know to regulate blood sugar levels, promote intestinal health, digestion and create healthy intestinal flora. It allows your body to get the nutrients it needs from the foods you eat.
There is a fantastic book that I highly recommend to anyone interested in algae called “Primordial Food” by Christian Drapeau. You can read a sample of it on our website. Be sure to read more and algae and our algae products here as well.
I am still astonished that most people remain unaware of m-state minerals, as David Hudson called them. Back in 1995 David Hudson went on a lecture tour to promote his discovery, or a re-discovery of an ancient knowledge. He started a movement from which a virtual alternative health community continues to grow. You can hear David Wolfe speak about the,, and recently I saw an announcement of availability of ormus-green superfood. Just so you know, we have been adding ormus gold, rhodium, and iridium to the Exsula superfoods since 1997. That’s how Iridesca got its name – alchemical iridium.
The ormus minerals are known as m-state or nano-minerals and they aren’t your ordinary everyday minerals. They have been called orme, Ormus, Manna and White gold. Nano-minerals are still quite mysterious to us and they have a tendency to defy all known rules. They are the elements from the platinum group, metals, yet they behave like minerals.
Nano-minerals can be described as two-dimensional subatomic particles that have no volume, but a large surface area. The are likely responsible for many functions at the cellular membrane.
They exist in a non-metallic, crystalline form. In this form they are undetectable by chemical analysis (like spectral analysis) as it is typically used, they are chemically inert and show superconductive properties.
I could use Carbon as an analogy for this phenomenon – you may be familiar with its states. Pure carbon can exist as either charcoal or diamonds. It obviously behaves very differently in each state. This concept applies to many different elements, though many people don’t know it. Gold, for example, can exist in a solid yellow metallic form, but also can exist in monatomic form as clear as glass. The metallic form is conductive, pliable and shiny. The crystalline form looks like crushed diamonds or glass. Upon first glance, you probably wouldn’t be able to differentiate it from the sand you see at the beach.
Nano-minerals can be extracted from natural sources such as salt water. When extracted like this they take on the appearance of either calcium or magnesium carbonate. When you try to analyze it using standard chemical analysis you will get just that, and yet, with a few alchemical steps you can prove that the solution is full of crystallized metals. Coral calcium is a great example: the sea creatures concentrate the ormus minerals within their structures. Producers of nutritional supplements have promoted the benefits of calcium, but what if it was the high ormus content of the corals, pearls, oyster shells that was responsible for the health benefits?
Ormus minerals promote the expression of the innate intelligence of the organism. They support a more integrated, holistic state of functioning. This is why in ancient times they were known as the “Food of the Gods” and were the key to growing in body, mind and spirit, with compassion, love and light.
