In our modern age, our daily lives expose us to an array of toxins present in our surroundings. Whether it’s the air we breathe, the food we consume, or the water we drink, these harmful substances are ubiquitous. According to experts, an alarming 90-95% of cancers have their roots in environmental and lifestyle factors.[1] The unsettling reality is that there are approximately 350,000 human-made chemicals, encompassing plastics, pesticides, industrial compounds, cosmetic ingredients, antibiotics, and various pharmaceuticals, that are in the supply change that pose a risk to human health[2], with around 1,500 new chemicals introduced annually, of which only a fraction undergo safety evaluations.[3] This article explores the pervasive impact of toxins on our health and, specifically, their detrimental effects on the liver.

The Perils of Indoor Air Quality: A Hidden Danger

Our homes, where we seek refuge, are not immune to the toxicity that surrounds us. Recent research by the EPA has unveiled a shocking revelation: the air within American households can be up to 100 times more polluted than the air outdoors.[4] Everyday items like furniture and carpets emit toxic gases, while common household cleaners release carcinogenic fumes. This indoor air pollution contains hazardous elements such as carbon monoxide, lead, insecticides, and pesticides, all of which pose a grave risk to our health. The implications for our liver health are concerning, as the liver plays a crucial role in detoxifying our bodies.[5]

The Food We Consume: A Silent Source of Toxins

Beyond the air we breathe, the food we put on our plates can be a hidden source of toxins. The FDA has issued warnings highlighting the presence of over 50 different poisons and toxic substances commonly found in the average American’s grocery cart. These contaminants can enter our bodies through our diets, potentially affecting the liver’s ability to process and eliminate toxins. Understanding the risks associated with our food choices is vital for maintaining liver health.[6]

Tainted Tap Water: A Widespread Problem

Water, the essence of life, is not immune to contamination. Radioactive elements in tap water, including radium, radon, and uranium, have affected as many as 50 million Americans, or 1 in 7 people across the nation.[7] Furthermore, the shocking truth is that pharmaceuticals and other toxins can pose harmful effects on humans and livestock and end up back in our food supply.[8],[9] This underscores the importance of being vigilant about the quality of our water sources and the potential repercussions for our liver.

Your Body as a Toxic Repository: Unveiling the Evidence

Scientific analysis of various bodily fluids, including fat, blood, urine, breath, breast milk, and even semen, has revealed a disconcerting reality. Every individual on this planet, irrespective of their geographical location, carries chemicals within them. These include notorious compounds like Dioxins (Agent Orange), PCBs, DDT, Organophosphates, and Organochlorines, to name a few. These substances infiltrate our tissues and circulate throughout our bodies, contributing to the alarming rise in cancer rates and reproductive issues, from impotence to infertility and birth defects to the endocrine system. The endocrine system controls mood, growth and development, the way our organs work, metabolism, and reproduction; therefore, understanding the extent of this toxic burden is vital for raising awareness about the liver’s role in detoxification and its need for support.[10],[11],[12][13]

In conclusion, it is an undeniable reality that, regardless of your lifestyle or place of residence, your liver consistently faces the onslaught of harmful toxins, leading to compromised functionality and potential damage. Acknowledging the profound influence of these toxins on our liver health serves as the initial step toward taking proactive measures to safeguard this vital organ and our overall well-being. Assuming responsibility for our health involves minimizing our exposure to toxic substances, a critical step in improving our overall well-being. Additionally, enhancing our antioxidant intake by adopting a diet rich in fruits and vegetables plays a crucial role in counteracting the adverse effects of toxin exposure. Moreover, integrating herbs known for supporting the body’s detoxification processes is another beneficial avenue, exemplified by the incorporation of our 10-Day Super Detox program as a means to bolster overall health.

Victory Over Prescription Drug Dependence

Doug came to BellaVita with the hope of gaining victory over prescription drug dependence. His physician father started him on pain medication when he was only 7 years old because of a painful tooth and gum disease. Years later he got into a motorcycle accident, and was given stronger pain killers and got dependent on them. Altogether, he was on prescription pain killers for over 40 years at 51 years old.

When Doug arrived on Sunday, I learned he was taking 15 to 20 eighty milligram Oxycontin a day for pain in his back. He also suffered with colitis and hadlost 25 lbs and looked like the walking dead. The color in his face was indicative of a person that was seriously toxic and nutrient deficient.

I immediately started to pray.

On day one of the cleansing program at BellaVita, Doug took only 2 Oxycontin tablets which amazed all of us. But what was more amazing was that on day 2 he took none. I posted his progress on facebook about the miracle and immediately someone responded that he could have a heart attack and seizures. I was concerned and called my good friend with 50 yrs. experience, Charlotte Gerson. Charlotte said: “People do not understand how effective coffee enemas are when detoxifying a drug dependent person.” I had worked with guests in the past who were dependent on prescription pain killers and noticed they did not have the withdrawal symptoms others did who followed the conventional way of detoxifying. Doug was no exception. Charlotte said: “Feed him the juices and the organic food and have him take 3 coffee enemas a day.” Charlotte has shared many healing stories with me over the years, one of which was a cocaine addict who got off the drug in 72 hours with coffeeenemas so I knew it was possible for Doug to gain the victory.

Besides the enemas, juices, and 3 fabulously healthy vegan meals a day,Doug was drinking 5 poultice drinks for 5 days made with charcoal, bentonite clay, flaxseeds, psyllium husks, and other herbs. The clay andcharcoal absorbs many times their weight in toxins very quickly and escorts them out of the body via the colon. The coffee enemas detoxify the liver in 12 to 15 minutes and the combination is wonderful as in Doug’s situation.

Doug also walked 4 miles a day beginning on day 2. Each day he took a sauna–which helped open the pours for further detoxification, skin brushed, which removed millions of dead cells fromthe skin, and took contrast showers of hot and cold to stimulate a lymph cleansing/immune response. The coldsheet treatment and all the love Doug received at BellaVita was critical to his healing victory over drug dependence. The rest of the guests could not believe the miracle that took place right in front of our eyes.

“I have been seekingand experiencing other good wellness programs like CedarBrook andWeimar, but BellaVita has changed my life. Danny, everything that cameout of your mouth was truth. I can rejoice in my infirmities now, foryou have given me a new perspective of my Saviour. The spiritual part ofthe program made the difference coupled with the aggressive cleansing program. I have an inexpressible experience. I used to wonder if I would be happy in heaven, but this has been a little taste of heaven at BellaVita,” said Doug. We walked 4 miles each day together and the long talks were a definite encouragement to both of us. We laughed so much I could see his life force recharging. He wanted to scream at times and looked so much better every day. When Doug left, he handed me 12 bottles of prescription pain killers and said: “”I won’t be needing these anymore.” He also canceled his order that was ready at the pharmacy.

Here is a poem Doug wrote years ago.

LOVE

This world is not my home

Soon it is coming to an end

The Lord He stands there waiting

For new life to begin

All He asks me is to give Him all my sin

He says He’ll wash me clean

And cover it like snow

So when the trumpet sounds,

He’s sure I will be ready to go

Do you hear the Saviour calling?

Through all of life’s fast pace?

All He wants to do is wrap us in His Loving grace

Do you hear the Saviour calling? He is calling you and I

He hopes, He prays, He is longing

that not one child should have to die

Do you hear the Saviour calling?

He is calling you and me

Do you hear the Saviour calling?

He’s calling all to be free!

I am free! Thank you Danny. I love you,
Doug.

The Flouride Deception

Chinese fluoride is a homeland security matter
To the Editor: Cumberland Times-News

February 28, 2010 – The Pure Water Committee of Western Maryland Inc. was formed in 1960 as a grass roots network of citizens with a 50-year-old mission to educate the public of the complete fraud of the practice called water fluoridation. Recently, it has come to my attention in an engineering report for the cityof Boulder, Colo., that they did an evaluation of fluoridation chemicals and sources and found that much of the fluoride chemicals used for water

fluoridation are now coming out of China with arsenic and lead levels of 50 and 40 milligrams respectively per bag and non-existent regulatory monitoring of the salt or acid compounds from these imports. This type of trade from a country with a track record of lead paint on toys to antifreeze in cough syrup medicine is completely unacceptable.

Only after I asked for the certificate of analysis from Solvay fluorides through Univar USA, which is the chemical supplier for the Frostburg Water Plant, did I receive the certificate of analysis from Shanghai Mintchem Development Co., LTD., the Chinese manufacture of the sodium fluoride.

The material safety data sheets from Solvay fluorides shows that a teaspoon amount of 5 grams of sodium fluoride can be fatal to an average size man of 70kg.

In toxicological information section, chronic toxicity by oral route may cause skeletal and dental fluorosis, thyroid, testes, kidney, liver, ambiguous carcinogenic and mutagenic effects, fetotoxic and fertility effects.

I have asked now for two years for the Frostburg Mayor and Council to put in the water bill for area residence the ADA warning to not to use fluoridated water when making infant formula, but to no avail.

I have showed them the 2003 sixth edition PDR special warning section for Luride (sodium fluoride in pill form) that children under the age of six should not be taking the same equivalent dose that municipalities add to the drinking water. I asked them why they would continue this practice when the PDR states that not even a dentist or doctor should be administering this equivalent dose to a child under the age of 6.

I have explained to them that the warning label on fluoride toothpaste states, that if you swallow more than a pea size amount of paste or .25 milligrams of fluoride, which is the equivalent dose of 8 ounces of fluoridated water, you should contact the poison control center immediately.

We can no longer trust our local governments to do the right thing for its citizens. I find it so ironic that the same federal government that is demanding small communities under the clean water act, like Mount Savage to join to the Frostburg Regional water supply, because of an overt concern over possible ground water contamination, then allows this toxic waste byproduct from China to enter this country and be added to this same regional water supply. Are we insane?

Bernard W. Miltenberger

The fluoridation of drinking water has been traced to the aluminum industry and the deception tied to their disposing of toxic waste. I will give you several links so you can educate yourselves on The Fluoride Deception and how to protect you families. But before I do, please keep reading.

Ingestion of fluoride has little benefit, but many risks. Whereas fluoride’s benefits come from topical contact with teeth, its risks to health (which involve many more tissues than the teeth) result from being swallowed.

Adverse effects from fluoride ingestion have been associated with doses attainable by people living in fluoridated areas. For example:

a) Risk to the brain. According to the National Research Council (NRC), fluoride can damage the brain. Animal studies conducted in the 1990s by EPA scientists found dementia-like effects at the same concentration (1 ppm) used to fluoridate water, while human studies have found adverse effects on IQ at levels as low as 0.9 ppm among children with nutrient deficiencies, and 1.8 ppm among children with adequate nutrient intake. (1-4)

b) Risk to the thyroid gland. According to the NRC, fluoride is an endocrine disrupter.” Most notably, the NRC has warned that doses of fluoride (0.01-0.03 mg/kg/day) achievable by drinking fluoridated water, may reduce the function of the thyroid among individuals with low-iodine intake. Reduction of thyroid activity can lead to loss of mental acuity, depression and weight gain (5)

c) Risk to bones. According to the NRC, fluoride can diminish bone strength and increase the risk for bone fractures. While the NRC was unable to determine what level of fluoride is safe for bones, it noted that the best available information suggests that fracture risk may be increased at levels as low 1.5 ppm, which is only slightly higher than the concentration (0.7-1.2 ppm) added to water for fluoridation. (6)

d) Risk for bone cancer. Animal and human studies – including a recent study from a team of Harvard scientists – have found a connection between fluoride and a serious form of bone cancer (osteosarcoma) in males under the age of 20. The connection between fluoride and osteosarcoma has been described by the National Toxicology Program as “biologically plausible.” Up to half of adolescents who develop osteosarcoma die within a few years of diagnosis. (7-10)

e) Risk to kidney patients. People with kidney disease have a heightened susceptibility to fluoride toxicity. The heightened risk stems from an impaired ability to excrete fluoride from the body. As a result, toxic levels of fluoride can accumulate in the bones, intensify the toxicity of aluminum build-up, and cause or exacerbate a painful bone disease known as  renal osteo dystrophy. (11-13)

Water fluoridation’s benefits to teeth have been exaggerated. Even proponents of water fluoridation admit that it is not as effective as it was once claimed to be. While proponents still believe in its effectiveness, a growing number of studies strongly question this assessment. (14-36) According to a systematic review published by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, “The magnitude of [fluoridation’s] effect is not large in absolute terms, is often not statistically significant and may not be of clinical significance.” (26)

Due to other sources, many people are being over-exposed to fluoride . Unlike when water fluoridation first began, Americans are now receiving fluoride from many other sources* besides the water supply. As a result many people are now exceeding the recommended daily intake, putting them at elevated risk of suffering  toxic effects. For example, many children ingest more fluoride from toothpaste alone than is considered “optimal” for a full day’s worth of ingestion. According to the Journal of Public Health Dentistry:

“Virtually all authors have noted that some children could ingest more fluoride from [toothpaste] alone than is recommended as a total daily fluoride ingestion.” (37)

Because of the increase in fluoride exposure from all sources combined, the rate of  dental fluorosis (a visible indicator of over-exposure to fluoride during childhood) has increased significantly over the past 50 years. Whereas dental fluorosis used to impact less than 10% of children in the 1940s, the latest national survey found that it now affects over 30% of children. (38, 39)

* Sources of fluoride include: fluoride dental products, fluoride pesticides, fluorinated pharmaceuticals, processed foods made with fluoridated water, and tea.

Autointoxication – A Major Cause of Disease

In my quest to broaden my knowledge in herbal medicine and natural healing, I attended four natural healing crusades in Santa Monica put on by Dr. Richard Schulze.  “We won, America won! Our lack of attention on good elimination and digestive health and our increased consumption of junk food, has awarded Americans with the highest level of digestive disorders, bowel disease and colon cancer in the world. We won,” the passionate healer shouted!

Friends, America is a nation of constipation, stagnation, fermentation, putrefaction, and autointoxication. We are poisoning our bloodstreams from the undischarged feces that is rotting in our intestines.  For half of Americans, the toxic waste in the colon is sitting there for days instead of being eliminated several times a day without grunting and straining. Dr. Schulze continued: “Our own fecal matter starts to slowly poison us, infecting and rotting tissue, degenerating our bowel, causing inflammation, polyps, fissures, ulcers, tumors, cancer, and eventually killing us. We are self-poisoning.”

Autointoxication is defined as a state of being poisoned by toxic substances produced within the body. When the digestive system doesn’t work properly, autointoxication sets in. This happens when food begins to break down without being eliminated. Proteins putrefy and rot, carbohydrates ferment, and oils and fats turn rancid. The body becomes poisoned from its own waste.

If these poisons are not constantly excreted  we will die. When our bodies are overwhelmed by toxic substances beyond its ability to eliminate them through the channels of elimination, the body institutes emergency action to expel the toxin burden.  This crisis is called sickness or disease. And half of America does not have a bowel movement each day. In fact, the medical profession says: “There is no medical reason to have a bowel movement a day. Normal bowel function is 3 to 5 bowel movements a week, and constipation is less than 3 a week.” That translates to 2 bowel movements a week is constipation. No wonder there is so much sickness in our country today and Harvard Wellness Letter stated that 44% of Americans strain to have a bowel movement.

Dr. Shultze paints another dim picture: “Americans thus come up 70,000 bowel movements short in a lifetime.” Is it any wonder why Merck Manual says that all Americans will eventually have bowel disease if they live long enough! No wonder death from colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer in this country. America is a nation of constipation and autointoxication. Just smell the breath of the average American and look at the size of his/her body.

Could autointoxication or self-poisoning be a major player in the high amount of disease in this country?One prolific health writer penned a hundred years ago: “The impurities of the body, if not allowed to escape, are taken back into the blood and forced upon the internal organs. Nature makes an effort to free the system, and the effort produces fever and what is termed disease.” Ellen G. White, Healthful Living, p. 228.

Dr. J. H. Tilden writes: “One of the first things to do to get rid of any so-called disease is to get rid ofToxemia, for it is this state of the blood that makes disease possible. Disease is a crisis of Toxemia, which means that toxin has accumulated in the blood about the toleration point, and the crisis, the so-called disease – call it a cold, flu, pneumonia, headache, or typhoid fever – is a vicarious elimination. Nature is endeavoring to rid the body of toxin. Any treatment that obstructs this effort at elimination baffles nature in her effort at self-curing.” J. H. Tilden, M.D., Toxemia Explained, 1926, p. 49, 79.

“If the colon is not working properly, toxins must exit the body through other routes: the kidneys, the skin, the breath. Many of these patients have bad halitosis, body odor, etc. When a person becomes ill from colon disease, he or she may develop a variety of symptoms, including headaches, muscle aches, fatigue, autoimmune diseases like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, or cardiovascular disease.” William L. Cowden, M.D., internist, classical specialist in internal medicine cardiologist.

Doctor Bernard Jensen, DC, ND, Ph.D., made the following statement: “In the 50 years I’ve spent helping people to overcome illness, disability and disease, it has become crystal clear that poor bowel management lies at the root of most people’s health problems.” Dr. Bernard Jensen studied with many very successful doctors throughout the United States and Europe.

In his book Tissue Cleansing Through Bowel Management, Dr. Jensen discusses mucoid plaque. He writes: “The heavy mucus coating in the colon thickens and becomes a host of putrefaction. The blood capillaries to the colon begin to pick up the toxins, poisons and noxious debris as it seeps through the bowel wall. All tissues and organs of the body are now taking on toxic substances. Here is the beginning of true autointoxication on a physiological level.”

On page 27, he reveals his experience in this matter. “One autopsy revealed a colon to be 9 inches in diameter with a passage through it no larger than a pencil. The rest was caked up layer upon layer of encrusted fecal material. This accumulation can have the consistency of truck tire rubber. It’s that hard and black. Another autopsy revealed a stagnant colon to weigh in at an incredible 40 lbs. Imagine carrying all that morbid accumulated waste.”  The late Elvis Presley and John Wayne had toxic colons in excess of 40 lbs. each. And the FDA admits that the average American male can be carrying 5-22 lbs. of feces on a given day!

On page 42, Dr. Jensen talks about his old teacher John Harvey Kellogg at the Battle Creek Sanitarium who “maintained that 90% of the diseases of civilization are due to improper functioning of the colon.” On page 43, Dr. Jensen explains that National College in Chicago performed over 300 autopsies. “According to the history of these persons, 285 had claimed they were not constipated and had normal movements and only 15 had admitted they were constipated. The autopsies showed the opposite to be the case, however, and only 15 were found not to have been constipated, while 285 were found to have been constipated. Some of the histories of these 285 persons stated they had had as many as 5 to 6 bowel movements daily, yet autopsies revealed that in some of them the bowel was 12 inches in diameter. The bowel walls were encrusted with fecal material.”

Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, M.D. of the Kellogg Sanitarium said, “Of the 22,000 operations I have personally performed, I have never found a single normal colon, and of the 100,000 that were performed under my jurisdiction, not over 6% were normal.”

So, let me summarize the facts for you. The majority of Americans are suffering from bowel disease: abnormal conditions like hemorrhoids, irritable bowel  syndrome, polyps, colon cancer, diverticulosis, Crohn’s disease, and constipation. That is why I teach the students at BellaVita that the first step when it comes to natural healing is to cleanse the colon, because death begins in the colon. Most Americans already have colon problems and need help. Amazing what a high fiber plant-based diet, exercise, and lots of water could do to reverse the chronic constipation and autointoxication in this country.

At BellaVita, we teach people the most effective natural remedies for evacuating the colon of old feces. They learn that they must:

1. Get their bowels moving 2 – 4 times a day.

2. Stop or decrease the production of mucus and mucoid matter in the intestines.

3. Loosen the encrusted morbid matter and accumulated waste stagnating in the colon.

4. Remove the build-up from the walls of the intestines with specific natural products like bentonite, charcoal, and psyllium. That is why we use Bowel Formulas #1 and #2 at the wellness center and isotonic drinks for the first five mornings. When I was in my late twenties, I passed a 6-foot long mass of old feces that was in one piece following a similar cleanse.

So many Americans are suffering from impactions of the colon because they are eating too many foods that lack fiber. Another reason is that they are eating mucus-forming acid foods like meat, dairy, and sugar. Alcohol and coffee are two other beverages that cause excess acid and abnormal PH and resulting mucus build-up in the intestines. The mucus is produced to protect the intestines from the large amount of acid and conditions like ulcers. As the mucus builds from eating too much bologna, salami, sausage, pizza, donuts, coffee, cakes, pies and processed foods, the more mucus is formed, layer upon layer, on the colon walls and dehydrates forming the hard, truck tire-like rubbery black feces.

I had two people at BellaVita actually pull black ropes out of their anus that was exactly like how I described. One of the women said, “Gross! It is like a rubber hose.” She pulled out about twelve inches on two occasions. One nurse was gathering the rubbery green feces and putting it in a Ziplock bag (she had gloves on of course). She said, “I have been a nurse for 19 years and I have never seen anything come out of a human body like this.” She wanted to prove it to her husband.

One more thing before I close – a sluggish bowel retains pounds of fecal matter and can cause the bowel to balloon, effecting and putting pressure on other organs of the body. That is why I see so many miracles happen when a person colon cleanses. I had an infertile nurse go on a cleanse and, afterwards, she was blessed with twins. Praise God. Pressure on the fallopian tubes and the uterus could have been the problem.

Autointoxication is the process whereby the body literally poisons itself by maintaining a cesspool of decaying matter in the colon. This inner cesspool can contain high concentrations of harmful bacteria. The toxins released by the decay can get into the bloodstream and travel to all parts of the body. Every cell in the body can be affected and many forms of disease can result.

This decay is another form of constipation. In fact many people think constipation is only when you cannot evacuate the colon, but another form is when decaying matter is “glued” to the walls of the colon or stuck in pockets in the colon called diverticulosis.

Yes, we are a nation of constipation, stagnation, putrefaction, fermentation, and autointoxication. That is why the late Dr. John Harvey Kellogg said: “90% of the diseases of civilization are due to improper function of the colon.”

Our own fecal matter starts to slowly poison us as it rots inside of our intestines. It leads to degeneration of the bowel and may cause hemorrhoids, inflammation, polyps, fissures, ulcers, diverticulosis, cancer, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease, and varicose veins.

Other symptoms that may develop indicating that you need a cleanse are the following: bad breath, body odor, smelly feet, headache and backache, brain fog, gas, bloating, fatigue, excessive weight gain, dry or hard stools, foul-smelling stools, digestive problems, poor appetite, allergy and sinus problems, swelling in the legs, poor complexion, worry and anxiety and more.

The Journal of American Academy of Dermatology reported in 1986 that “Autointoxication has been blamed for a long list of health problems, including depression and serious skin problems.” No wonder natural healers the world over say “Death begins in the colon!”

If the colon is not evacuated twice a day or more, parasites can breed and cause further symptoms, many of which are the same as the ones previously mentioned above. Other symptoms of parasite infestation are the following: Pain in joints and muscles, can’t gain weight, itchy ears, nose, anus, eating more than normal, sugar cravings, nutrient deficiencies and anemia, teeth grinding, and weakened immune function.

My advice is to eat plenty of high fiber foods such as you get in a vegetarian diet. Animal foods contain zero fiber and are a major cause of constipation. Beans are high in protein, low in fat, and high in fiber. They are excellent food. Also drinking plenty of water is essential for proper bowel elimination and  exercise is key for healthy bowel function.

In addition, you can  take psyllium husks if you suffer from constipation even when following the instructions above. Mix two tablespoons of psyllium husks, not powder, in a large glass of water and drink it every night. This assures that enough fiber is in the diet and the colon has the needed bulk to sweep out the feces and impurities. And you do not have to spend money on overpriced Metamucil. Get a bag of plain psyllium husks at a health food store in bulk so you do not have to pay for the packaging. We sell a large bag for less than $7.00. Don’t let fancy packaging empty your wallet. Shop and buy smart so you can empty your colon instead.
