Guest guest Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Duncan, I think that you sell a product that is a formulation of various sea vegetables. In the support literature for that product is the claim that plant life picks up heavy metals but changes the ionization of it. That changed ionization actually chelates to the toxic form of the heavy metals in our bodies that come from non-life form sources. Would that not include fluoride? Is fluoride one of the metals, actually? I’m going on the basis of my memory here and if I remember correctly what it is that you are involved in, I was as well. Most of the sea vegetables “drinks”, or formulations, all list cadmium, lead, fluoride, and even some or all of the radioactive metals (certainly not enriched). This was said to be ok by the lead scientist because of the different ionization that chelated and took out the actual toxic, oppositely charged, metal atoms from the body. ed On Behalf Of Duncan Crow Sunday, July 16, 2006 11:28 AM To: Health_and_healing fluoride in tea Besides the assault fom water fluoridation, most commercial tea contains enough fluorine to prompt researchers to issue a warning.

Ed, I sold Body Balance for about a year, but not for more than eight months now; I'll try to answer your questions. > In the support literature for that product is > the claim that plant life picks up heavy metals but changes the > ionization of it.

I haven't seen that claim before. > Would that not include fluoride? I can't speculate on it without making assumptions that'll probably turn out to be incorrect; I would rather learn. I do think that no forms of fluorine are good for you if that's what you're getting at. > Is fluoride one of the metals, actually? No. > I'm going on the basis of my memory here and if I remember correctly > what > it is that you are involved in, I was as well.

Body Balance from the sea vegetables, and another product I've seen analysis for, Kona Gold minerals fom Integris (montmorillonite?), showed on an independent analysis to contain almost undetectable cadmium, lead and mercury, unlike humic shale- derived minerals from land deposits. > This was said to be ok by the lead scientist because > of the different ionization that chelated and took out the actual > toxic, oppositely charged, metal atoms from the body. > ed Again, I hadn't heard that one come up at all; I think it must have been a different product. Sounds like bullshit to me on the face of it. Hmmm.... I stopped selling Body Balance when I learned that benzene compounds used as a preservative leak benzene, a carcinogen, into acidic solutions.
