In a recent video Dr. Boyd Haley discussed NBMI, his compound used to safely detox mercury and other heavy metals, and mentioned that those who have a reaction to sulphur could experience a similar reaction with NBMI.  He has clarified the connection for me and his response is  below.  In asking if one needed to be tested for sensitivity to sulphur before using NBMI the answer was "No".  He suggested that those reactive to sulphur would likely already know this about themselves.  They would be those who felt a mild reaction or rash type feeling after eating sulphur foods like onions, garlic, red wine or salad bar foods treated with sulfite.

He explained that the reaction for those sulphur reactive who took NBMI might be the same as if they ate an excess of thiol containing compounds.  The symptoms would be a small rash on the arms or chest areas that goes away quickly after ingestion stops.

The fix for those sensitive would be to reduce the dosage to 1/4 of the recommended dosage for several days and then slowly increasing the amount until the rash symptoms stop completely.  Also, taking a molybdenum supplement has helped some.  

He explains, “The basic biochemical issue is that there is a decreased ability to convert the toxic sulfite to the non-toxic sulfate by the molybdenum requiring enzyme sulfite oxidase.  Molybdenum supplementation helps in most cases, but it takes a few days to maximize the activity of the sulfite oxidase.  As an aside, autistics seem to have a 50 fold higher level of sulfite when compared to control children in a research project done by Dr. Rosemary Waring in England.”

NBMI is currently in FDA trials for use primarily as a drug to detox mercury and other heavy metals.  It was previously used successfully and sold as a supplement.  Although there have been many name changes, including OSR and Emeramide, the product is now known as NBMI by the parent company Emeramed.

The final release of NBMI promises to be the first real hope for those metals poisoned.  It offers quick, efficient and effective results without the harsh side effects that the current options offer.  To access NBMI during trials see the link below.

Fluoride has made its way into our daily lives via public water providers.  The truth about how a poison, once part of Vietnam's Agent Orange crisis, came to being part of the public water supply is still somewhat mysterious.  We know the original claims were in regard to reducing dental cavities, but these claims remain in dispute. Often agencies within the same governments that provide fluoridated water, challenge the practice.  Even your bottled water is at risk of containing fluoride without your knowledge.

According to the Center for Disease Control, 2012 report on Community Water Fluoridation the percentage of the US population receiving community water with fluoridation was 67%.  Of the 52,734 community water providers in the US then, only 18,502 agencies were providing fluoridated water.  That means that these providers were serving large populations.  The states providing the largest populations with fluoridated water are California, Florida, Illinois, New York and Texas even though the question of efficacy and danger continue.

If we reduce the arguments for and against fluoridation of public water to the basic facts, there seems to be no reason for this practice to continue.  No matter which side of the fence is yours, the practice appears to be unfair and illegal.   Note the facts and decide if your health rights are being managed by the government without your consent.

Fluoride Facts:

1.  Fluoride is added to water not for the purpose of improving water quality, but for the purpose of preventing tooth decay and/or disease.  The FDA qualifies the use of fluoride for this purpose as a drug.  We are therefore, drugging unsuspecting users without informed consent, which we know is not legal.  Many are exposed against their will.  

2.  The use of fluoride is not universally accepted.  Most of Western Europe has refused fluoride because of the controversy surrounding it and the concept of mass drugging.

3.  If in fact fluoridation was a positive influence, water is not the correct method for dosing.  People consume water based on need of water itself and without regard to the amount of the drug being consumed.  It is easy to see that the amount of fluoride taken into a body cannot be regulated via the municipal water supply.  In that equation we must also calculate the amount of fluoride that is absorbed into the body via the skin during bathing or swimming, which almost no consumer can know.  We must also consider a bottle fed infant that ingests levels of fluoridation meant for an adult for which there is no research on outcome.

4.  According to fluoridealert.org fluoride is not an essential nutrients and no disease or tooth decay is caused by a lack of fluoride.  They also state that fluoride interferes with many enzymes and biological processes in the body. They quote many studies that prove fluoride interferes with the body’s biochemistry in fundamental ways.

5.  In more than 60 years of forced fluoridation there are still no studies to prove efficacy or safety and still the FDA classifies it as an “unapproved new drug.”  This makes the addition of fluoride without consent a criminal act. 

6.  The CDC in 2001 concluded that the benefits of fluoride were topical and not systemic.  With this in mind, why are we risking what could be a horrific outcome?

7.  Even the National Institute of Health has studied fluoride and determined that there is no significant relationship between tooth decay and fluoride among children.

8.  Research shows that tooth decay does not increase when fluoridation is  discontinued.

9.  Many sources agree that the studies that brought us fluoridation were flawed.  There is consistent evidence of potential harm and many sources, including the National Research Council, believe it may damage the brain.

10. Thirty-three independent studies from countries other than the USA report that exposure to fluoride will lower IQ.  Other studies focus on damage to the pineal gland, thyroid function, arthritis, bone density loss, kidney damage, bone cancer, and infertility with fluoride contamination.

It is time the practice of fluoridating public water be challenged, if for no other reason than we are mass drugging populations without consent.  It is unfair that those who cannot afford to filter their drinking and bathing water be subjected to fluoridation.

                      The Breast Cancer Prevention Partners, an organization out of San Francisco that quietly works to reduce our daily chemical consumption, has made great strides in getting lower toxicity in many nail polish products.  Companies like OPI, Sally Hansen and others did comply and reduced their toxicity levels, but it's been a change that seems to have been kept too quiet.  

Packaging does not scream "we are healthier for you" which makes it impossible to know if you are buying your best healthy choice.  In fact, the OPI label pictured, is the first I've seen after years of compliance.  Without labeling, it is almost impossible to participate in buying cleaner products.   

Why aren't manufacturers wildly screaming that they have improved life for consumers?  My guess is that calling attention to the chemical reduction of a few items would create losses in sales for the product line items that were not altered to be less toxic.  It would also call attention to the fact that nail polish is unnecessarily toxic and that it is time for a change.

                       Regardless of the improvements, there is still reason for concern.  The list of chemicals is presented on this OPI package. It is a complex combination of chemicals that can be absorbed through the nail into the bloodstream.   After being absorbed, your body has to do the work of detoxing the unwanted chemicals.  That means an extra workload for your body and potential dangers.

Bottom line:  We need cleaner products.  One email to your favorite manufacturer could make great changes.  Ask for cleaner products and ask your friends to do the same.  Who knows what could happen.  You might also ask for a list of their improved or least toxic products.

Those with heavy metals poisoning have usually exhausted a number of therapies and remedies in the course of searching for wellness.  The timeframe for ridding the body of heavy metals can extend into years and it is not unusual to use a lot of trial and error for deleting it from the body.  The horizon often looks dismal, but there is a remedy in FDA trials that brings great hope to the long-term, extensive and painful remedies available for detoxing heavy metals.

The product is NBMI which has had several name changes and was known and Irminix, OSR and a few other names.  It is all the same product and it has those sick from metals poisoning waiting to be able to access it.

FDA access has been a lengthy process which has driven many to use counterfeit products.  These products made by others are sold on line and simply are not NBMI.    In many cases the counterfeit manufacturer has the consumer sign a waiver stating they are aware that the product is not for human or animal consumption.  Actual NMBI will have no such warning.

It is possible to access NBMI via the FDA process, but availability depends on the regulations in your area.  In some areas it is very easy and in others it can take time.    

​We now have another possible route to obtaining this product that clears metals without the usual side effects or danger to the body.  In May of 2018 the Right to Try Act was signed in the United States.  It gives critically ill patients the right to try drugs that are in trials within the Food and Drug Administration.  Thirty seven states have adopted the law on a state level.  With or without state adoption of the Right to Try Act you are able to utilize the law, as state approval is not necessary.

Because the law is new not everything is known about how it will function or what will be approved.  Things that are known for sure are:

• Although there may be a charge for obtaining the drug, the drug itself will be free.
• You must have a life threatening condition.
• You must have exhausted other options.
• You must not be able to qualify for trials as certified by a doctor.
• You must have informed consent of any potential risks.

In terms of the qualifying conditions, those poisoned strongly believe their lives are at risk.  Most have exhausted many options, but clearly most have side effects that make long term use a risky proposition.  There is no certainty as to how the FDA will interface with this law, but the opportunity to apply under the Right to Try Act is available.

Emeramed’s NBMI was on the market several years ago as a dietary antioxidant.  It proved a very effective chelator of metals with an affinity for mercury.  It crosses the blood brain barrier and clears the body of metals without painful side effects.

Once NMBI chelates to metal, it becomes inert and unable to harm the body.  It will not drop the metal before it exits the body which prevents it from reabsorbing into tissue, organs, bones and brain.  The chelated metal exits the body via the colon and not the kidneys, thereby preventing damage to organs.  There are no known side effects to this product.

The focus of testing NBMI has been done with mercury.  All results are positive for it's ability to chelate and remove the metal.  It manages other metals as well, but has an affinity for removing mercury first.  Because it crosses the blood-brain barrier, it clears the brain of metal and has shown success with Alzheimer’s patients, although it is not yet in trials for that particular use.  Another area of success is COPD which can be an accumulation of cadmium in the lungs.  Patients who have used NBMI for this purpose have experienced great improvement in very short time periods.

The US Army is considering testing of NMBI on mustard gas toxicity.  The governments of Ecuador and Columbia have successfully used it on gold miners who use mercury to separate materials while mining.  The success rate was overwhelming.

Currently NBMI is not available in the US without special authorization from the FDA.  Some countries have allowed its use and others provide very simple access to NBMI.  The links below will take you to the application form for Emeramed’s site to the FDA’s Compassionate Use application and another to the federal application for the Right to Try Act.

Probiotics or Prebiotics, which do I need?

Probiotics are just becoming part of our knowledge base when it comes to modern health.  Even though this knowledge was basic for cultures before us, we forgot what a body really needs to survive and live without disease.  

We had some help in that forgetting that has brought the problem to crisis proportions.  Advertising, the casual use of processed fast foods that lack nutritional value and fiber, overprescribing of antibiotics and medications and the push by traditional medicine to medicate every symptom instead of finding the true cause of illness.

Take for instance someone who complains of skin rashes, eczema, nail fungus or psoriasis.  They will be treated by the symptom rather than prompting a deeper investigation to find that the source is likely an overgrowth of bad bacteria in the gut.

Take another patient who complains of unimaginable weight gain, untrustworthy bowels, belly pain, diarrhea or IBS.  Each symptom can have its own prescription and diagnosis when in truth, proper research might say you really have gut bacteria that is out of balance.  

Poor gut health is finally being recognized as a contributor of many illnesses, yet the idea is not mainstream.  The varying complaints that a sick gut can cause range from those similar to fibromyalgia to those of Alzheimer’s.  Any symptoms of chronic pain and illness should include a check on gut health.

We often call this imbalance candida or “the bad bacteria”.  In reality it is an overgrowth of candida, that although essential to gut health can grow into a problem.  Usually it just needs some tweaking by feeding the good bacteria.  That is where we learned to get probiotics into our bodies.  

We found out that probiotics work.  The problem is that they don't come from fast foods or in microwavable foods.  In fact, probiotic foods are often fermented or cultured and can feel a bit weird. They are uncommon enough that we usually have to get “used to” adding them back into our diet.

Enter the prebiotic...  
Just as you thought you had it settled, the prebiotic came on the scene and complicated things.  
What is it and do I need it if I’m already taking a probiotic and getting better?

Think of the prebiotic as good soil or the fertilizer for probiotics.  The probiotics are the live cultures that we want to grow good bacteria in our guts.  They are going into a war zone after the typical diet and will do their best to multiply and balance against bad bacterias.  Eating prebiotic foods is a bit of insurance for probiotics.  It gives probiotics a rich food supply in the gut so they can multiply and do a better job.

Even though you can buy prebiotics, there are plenty of natural sources that can be incorporated into your diet.  Some of the greatest sources of prebiotics are:

Raw Chicory Root
Raw Jerusalem Artichoke
Raw Dandelion Greens
Raw Garlic
Raw Leeks
Raw Onions
Cooked Onions
Raw Asparagus
Raw Wheat Bran
Baked Wheat Flour
Raw Banana

Other good sources include, cabbage, beans, legumes, lentils, radishes, coconut meat, coconut flour, flax, chia seeds. tomatoes, jicama and yams.

The video below gives an overview of gut health and how important it is to your life.  (The photo is somewhat unrelated and it is not actually a c-section video.) 

                           This simple recipe for catching gnats
​                         should keep you out of the poison aisle.

1.  Just put a bit of fruit, this one has grapes, in a jar with a bit of balsamic vinegar. 2.  Cover with a double layer of plastic wrap and rubber band it as a lid.​
3.  Use a pin to poke holes into the plastic wrap.
4.  Place indefinitely where you have a gnat problem.

• The bugs will get in easily, but will be stuck.

   
Most of us can't imagine that how the gut is feeling could make a difference to our sinuses. That's because we have forgotten just how the body works and what makes it tick in favor of drugs that reduce symptoms.  

Knowing that your gut can cause sinus infections, lethargy, inflammation, acne, yeast infections, IBS, fibromyalgia and an extensive long list of issues will change how you heal yourself.  You can save a lot of time, when you understand that the gut will tell you things are not right by producing illness.

Searching for the cause of multiple health issues is never easy.  Using traditional medicine, often causes common problems to be misdiagnosed as though they were independent to your overall wellness.  When we Search for the Cause, Not Just the Cure, we can find the root cause and end the cycle.    

This video is one such investigation.  You will see how common acne and migraines were tracked back to gut health and how after years of medicating incorrectly, the problems can be solved.
