BURBUR A VALUABLE DETOXIFYING THERAPY By Dr. James Howenstine, MD.May 15, 2006NewsWithViews.com http://www.newswithviews.com/Howenstine/james44.htm In our modern world detoxification is a very important issue. Scientists have always assumed that the fetus was protected from

damage by the placenta filtering out toxic chemicals and pollutants. Ten babies born in U.S. hospitals in August and September 2004 had their cord blood studied for chemicals and pollutants. The average infant had 200[1] industrial chemicals and pollutants. A total of 287 chemicals were identified including pesticides, consumer product ingredients and waste substances from burning coal, gasoline and garbage. 180 of the 287 chemicals are known to cause cancer in animals or humans. Animal testing has revealed that 208 of these identified substances cause birth defects or abnormal development. 217 of the chemicals that were found are known to be toxic to the brain and nervous system. In 2003 nine adult volunteers gave urine and blood samples that were studied for 211 possible contaminants. These 9 subjects averaged 56 toxins per person. 167 of the 211 substances were found in at least one person. An example of how serious the human toxicity problem has become is provided by sterility information. Sperm specimens in 1938 revealed that only one half of one percent of males were sterile. Current sperm testing discloses that between 9 and 12 percent of males are sterile. Eight percent of women are currently known to have fertility problems. In our very toxic world middle aged persons have nearly universally acquired occult infections and large quantities of

toxic metals. Both these problems are believed to be important contributors to the occurrence of arteriosclerosis and cancer.

Nutramedix, the U.S, producer of Burbur, uses a proprietary extraction and enhancement technology, that makes this a more effective therapy than conventional Desmodium Molliculum. Toxicology studies were performed in May 2005 on Nutramedix’s Burbur product at the University of Guayaquil, Ecuador.

Fertility problems are on the steep rise all over the World with fall in sperm counts, inability to procreate and delayed ovulations. Most of such problems are caused by pesticides and similar chemicals used and inhaled/ absorbed by the system that passes down the generations. DDT banned by US in 1960-s is still used in India causing havoc with environment. So is organophosphates.

Infertility clinics are in roaring business now with surrogate mothers and adoptions widely practised by fertile couples in Westerb Culture!!

Is male fertility declining?

Numerous articles have suggested that sperm counts are falling and that male fertility is in decline. One of the most widely reported was a 1992 paper by Carlson and collaborators 1 that looked back at 61 research papers published since 1938, and concluded that the average sperm count had dropped by 42 per cent. However, their analysis was flawed in many ways and their conclusions cannot be considered reliable.

Several more retrospective studies of semen quality have been published since, with conflicting results. Some suggest that sperm counts are declining, others that there is no change. Even if sperm counts are falling, the effect on fertility is also unclear. At present, there is no clear evidence one way or the other.

Could environmental factors be affecting male fertility today? Many more environmental factors that can affect male fertility exist today than 50 years ago. The factors include:

· endocrine disrupters

· toxic pollutants

· sexually transmitted infections

· zinc deficiency

· alcoholism

· smoking

· anabolic steroid use

· ionising radiation.

Endocrine disrupters are chemicals present in the environment that, by virtue of their ability to adversely affect the endocrine (hormonal) system, cause health consequences. Several industrial pollutants can affect fertility, as can smoking and alcohol use. Some of these toxins can cause reproductive disorders, neurological disease, immune system disorders and cancer.

'Infertility time bomb' warning

By Michelle Roberts

BBC News health reporter in Copenhagen

Infertility is set to double in Europe over the next decade, a leading UK fertility expert has warned.

One in seven couples now has trouble conceiving naturally, but Professor Bill Ledger from Sheffield University warned this could rise to one in three.

He told a European fertility conference that women should be offered career breaks so they could have children younger, when they are more fertile.

Obesity and sex infections were also increasing infertility, he said.

The incidence of chlamydia, a sexually transmitted infection which carries a risk of infertility, has doubled over the last decade - and 6% of girls under the age of 19 are currently classed as obese.

A potential rise in male infertility could also affect couples, Professor Ledger said. Both the quality and quantity of sperm appeared to be in decline.

Time bomb

" Young people of today will become tomorrow's patients in infertility clinics, " Professor Ledger said.

He warned the rise in sexually transmitted infections in young teenagers was likely to cause blocked fallopian tubes in some.

" Later, when these young women want to become mothers, they find they can't conceive. "

Professor Ledger added: " The obese child is almost certain destined to become an obese adult. Many women who are overweight will not ovulate as efficiently. "

'Too few children'

Inflexible working hours and financial and career aspirations mean many women are putting off having a family until they are in their late 30s and early 40s, he said.

" The sustainability of the population of Europe is at risk because there are too few children being born. It is a threat to the future. "

" Women are simply not as fertile after 35, " Professor Ledger said. ............
