A System for Removing Heavy Metals from the Intestines and
Activation of Whole-Body Detoxification
From age’s childhood to 15, I knew mostly a very high level of health and energy. While I was finicky, I never had constipation once. I was cheerful and full of energy. Throughout this time I had eaten the typical high sugar diet, which resulted getting 7 mercury fillings put into my mouth. Then when I was 15, I got two large mercury fillings in one sitting. That same afternoon I got a very bad sore throat. It persisted for days, way beyond what was normal for me in the past. I was put on antibiotics for not just the normal course of 10 days but instead 20 days. I’d never been put on antibiotics for so long. Over the next few months, all of a sudden I was constipated. The bloasting and discomfort became a constant source of sadness and feeling very self-conscious.
This constipation reduced my desire to eat a lot. I began to eat smaller quantities of and lighter types of food. So I began to eat like a bird. I went from being light hearted and happy person to serious and eventually negative person. I converted over to a vegetarian diet to compensate for this stagnation and struggled to continue to live a normal life for the next four years. Finally by age 20 while trying to go to a private college, I woke up one morning while living in a dormitory and felt like a part of my body had shut down. I felt like I’d lost about 50% of my energy. In hindsight this was adrenal exhaustion. After 4 years of semi starvation and of pushing myself on the strength of my adrenals and nerves and after six months of an oil and fat free diet, I was exhausted beyond what you’d called simple fatigue. This was life altering and I could not continue school.
I’ve spent years figuring out what went wrong with my body and in short I was poisoned with mercury. The snow ball effect that had on every aspect of my health was devastating. I suffered for 24 years with life threatening constipation. My adrenals were damaged so that my normal energy and cheerful mood were taken from me. Self confidence and the energy to learn, create and complete projects was all destroyed.
I’ve reversed the chronic constipation, some of the adrenal exhaustion and all of the candida yeast is gone. So I can say with confidence, I know a thing or two about mercury, it’s toxicity and the most effective way to detoxify it and all toxins from the body.
Dentists Continue To Demonstrate Ignorance on This Topic
I met a Dentist recently who knows about mercury’s toxicity and still puts it into people mouths. Claiming that if this is what the patient requests that he gives them what they request> Wow, knowing what I know, I consider this crazy. Any dentist who continues to use mercury in his/her practice and or who continues to deny the accusations of mercury’s toxicity is harming other humans. Mercury in your brain and body will deprive you of your full brain capacity, your happiness, your health and your life. If a Dentist or anyone else is unwilling to look at this information then, do not go to this dentist.
A person’s stubborness or unwillingness to look at this information may stem from the damage caused to the brain by mercury. After all the Dentists have a high degree of exposure to mercury from inserting or removing mercury fillings and or it may be because your pineal gland is calcified from fluoride. The pineal produces important brain chemcials that allow for inner peace and an ability to have clear inner guidance. I’ve seen that the people who are most damaged by mercury are frequently the most unwilling to listen and consider new information.
How To Possibly Restore Your Inner Guidance And Become A Happier Person
Our Pineal Glands are in the center of the brain and are the primary tissue to produce the sleep chemical melatonin. This pinecone shaped, raisin sized gland also produces DMT (Dimethyltryptamine). DMT is also derived from the plant Ayahuasca. DMT has a profound effect on the brain and produces a state of consciousness that allows for interdimensional travel. A book has been written by Dr. Rick Strassman, MD, called DMT Spirit Molecule. He has discovered, among other things, that the pineal gland is a source of DMT production during birth and at death, and during near death or mystical experiences. This chemical approach corroborates the idea of the pineal gland as a portal, where the spirit passes through to other dimensions, either entering this physical realm or leaving it.[1]
In order for the Pineal gland to work correctly it cannot be damaged by mercury or calcified by the effects of fluoride. It is very sad that people historically have been mislead to believe sodium fluoride is protective of dental health. Sodium Fluoride is derived from phosphate fertilizer mining and is a toxin to all living systems. Calcium Fluoride is naturally occurring in the environment and may be beneficial to the bone structure of the body. However research shows that Sodium Fluoride calcifies the pineal gland.

To understand how toxic fluoride is and how much people within government have known of this toxicity, read the book “The Fluoride Deception”. Since this toxin is added to most water supplies it is vital that you get a purification system installed that removes the fluoride from your drinking and bathing water. The drinking water system I recommend is a 16-stage water purification system: http://www.sgn80.com/shop/all-products/water-technology/2-pure-h2o-pure-water-system.html. For the bathing water I recommend this system: http://futurewatertoday.com/performax.html.

How Food Derived Sodium May be Essential to Decalcifying Unhealthfully Calcified Tissues
Under the right chemistry conditions the body is programed to heal itself of anything. The late Dr. Bernard Jensen D.C. maintained that with a diet that had high amounts of sodium rich foods in the diet, you could bring unhealthfully deposited calcium back into solution for excretion or proper utilization. He maintained you could remove bone spurs and calcium deposits in the joints in 12 months on this diet. He would put the person on an organic diet and added to their diet, high sodium foods, broths, juices and distilled water. High sodium foods would be beets, celery, spinach, tomatoes, chard, and goat’s whey.
What’s The Difference Between Sodium and Salt?
Realize that food derived sodium is not the same as sodium chloride, salt. Salt is entirely different in its effect on your body. Health giving salt has trace minerals in it; it has a grey, pink or other color to it, due to the trace minerals and has been dried by the sun. Unhealthy salt has had its trace minerals removed, is pure white and has been dried in ovens in excess of 200 degrees. This high heat drying fuses the minerals together in tight molecular bonds so that no water can enter. This means it does not break down readily in the body. Unbroken down salt crystals are irritating to your tissues. Your body will hold on to water to dilute this irritation, hence water retention, high blood pressure and congestive heart failure are caused by this unhealthy kind of salt. This oven-dried kind of salt is the typical kind in restaurant’s, precooked foods and in typical grocery stores. Sundried trace mineral rich salt is good for you if you need it and most people seem to benefit from it. However the type of sodium I’m suggesting may be beneficial to you in removing calcium from your pineal gland is that derived from food.
So if you’ve had high exposure to fluoride and you have sleep problems, it may be due to a calcified pineal gland and you may want to consume the food based sodium rich vegetable juices (i.e. celery, beets, carrots). Also figs and mineral goats whey are concentrated sources of sodium from food. If you need convenience take 1 to 2 tablespoons per day of Alkalizer (now replaced with Capra Mineral Whey). Capra Mineral Whey is the mineral rich goats whey. This high quality Goat’s Whey is a naturally rich source of sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium. These are the body’s four primary alkalizing minerals. This is the food the Dr. Bernard Jensen DC used and taught could help remove calcium deposits from the joints. He maintained that food sources of sodium would help to bring incorrectly deposited calcium back into solution in the body. Decalcification of the soft tissues is essential to cell youth and optimal functioning.
It goes without saying that this also means you avoid all fluoridated water, fluoride treatments at a dental office, and any other fluoride sources. Again if you need verification as to the toxicity of fluoride read the book: “The Fluoride Deception”.
Vitamin K2 A Newly Discovered Miracle Vitamin That Aids In Proper Calcium Utilization in Your Body
The most well documented nutrient for proper calcium utilization is Vitamin K2. This mighty vitamin is responsible for activating the Matrix GLA protein. Matrix GLA protein in turn causes both removal of improperly deposited calcium and the activation of Osteoblasts (bone cells) to produce Osteocalcin (bone protein). All animal and human studies on this vitamin show that Vitamin K2 helps clean arteries of calcium and the plaque associated with it, and this also means the arteries stay flexible instead of hardened as in hardening of the arteries. This also means that bones can be supported in creating healthy bone density.[2][3]
Vitamin K2 occurs naturally in raw Fermented Cod Liver Oil and Butter from grass fed cows. However these food sources are too low in these vitamins to make the strong impact upon the body that I like to see. I once did a study with 4 people who all had osteoporosis. I got them on a supplement program using Fermented Cod Liver Oil, X-Factor Butter and Nano-Cal (calcium and magnesium supplement). After 6 months on these products their bone scans were redone and none of them had any improvements in bone density.
In 2011 there was a client of mine who succeeded in seeing her osteopenia go away using Vitamin K2, Intracal, Nano-Cal, Vitamin D3- 10,000 IU and Synergy One. With these observations it became clear to me that if you want to really remineralize your bones and help remove calcium deposited in the arteries and joints, then taking ISOLATED Vitamin K2 (both MK4 and MK7, types of Vitamin K2), was essential for speedy success. Now whenever giving an isolated supplement like Vitamin K2, I like to make sure that natures natural co-factors are present as well. This means taking Fermented Cod Liver Oil in addition to Vitamin K2 (Synergy K). So a typical protocol of products for decalcification of the pineal gland will be:
Synergy K: 2-3caps per day
Retail: $28.70
Fermented Cod Liver Oil: 1tsp -1T per day.
Retail: Liquid $44.00 Capsules $30.00
Capra Mineral Whey: (Organic Mineral Goats whey). A naturally rich source of food based sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium. Dr. Jensen maintained that this type of food based sodium, aids in the decalcification of the soft tissues; dosage suggestion 2T per day.
Retail: $46.50
There you have it, a recipe for decalcifying the pineal gland and other soft tissue structures like the arteries. The net effect will be to help restore the hormone production of your pineal gland and in turn help with deeper sleep, better mood and a better connection to your own internal guidance.
My Search Continues
Having used most every diet to correct all of my challenges I had to continue my search using supplementation. I finally learned that mercury was the possible culprit in all of this and decided to do the DMPS Urine challenge test. The first DMPS shot showed off the chart high levels of mercury in my body.
I began this mercury detoxification in 1998 DMPS is a man made sulfur rich amino acid. It is very aggressive at removing mercury from the body, but does not remove it from the brain. I took one 5 cc shot per month for 4 months. Then in the 5th month I switched over to taking DMSA another man made sulfur rich amino acid that is also very aggressive at removing mercury. DMSA is able to go into the brain and help remove the mercury therein. I took large dosages of DMSA once per month. It has been a very long time since I did this but I recall taking 3 grams of DMSA once per month for 5 months. In the 5th month of taking DMSA and the 9th month of my mercury detox program, my bowels began moving 75% normal for the first time in 24 years.
DMPS and DMSA were forcing a lot of mercury to come out through my kidneys. The body is designed to prefer to remove mercury through the liver bile, which enters into the intestines for elimination. So sending out a lot of mercury through the kidneys caused me even more fatigue than I already had with my Chronic Fatigue Diagnosis. I would be tired for 4 weeks after each dose. So once my bowels started working somewhat more normally I switched over to natural chelators.
The first I tried was NCD short for Nano Colloidal Detox factors. It was very expensive at $400 for a small bottle of I believe only 1 to 2 ounces. This product was simply chlorella that had been predigested by bacteria into smaller more absorbable particles. I took one bottles worth and got no noticeable results. Very quickly I surmised this product to be a rip off for the price and effectiveness. Years later I tried another nanonized chlorella now called HM Detox that was only $28.00 for 8 ounces. It too produced no noticeable results and urine challenge tests with it, showed no increase in Mercury excretion.
Next I took PCA Rx and did experience this to produce some signs of detoxification. Because the detoxification results were interfering with my productivity I discontinued this product. So while this may be an effective product there was something else I needed to remain productive while on it.
Next I tired Andrew Culter’s protocol of DMSA in 100 mg dosages taken every few hours even waking up at night to take more along with Alpha Lipoic Acid. I did this for a few months. Because of the extreme fatigued caused in my body from taking DMSA and that fragility to my kidneys, I did not feel overly confident to continue to take DMSA. So I discontinued this. Plus in Andrew’s book I recall him saying this protocol would take 2 to 4 years to remove the majority of mercury from the body. I felt that I was a slow detoxifier and that I would be in the 4 or more year category. So I could not see myself continuing to take something that would stress my kidneys and add to my fatigue that was already a major problem. I already had adrenal fatigue and an Epstein Barr Viral infection that is known to cause Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
Next I tried Chlorella, which is a cellulose rich algae protein. It’s cellulose stays in the intestines and is able to attach to mercury and remove it from the body. It is a mild chelator of mercury. Make sure the source of your chlorella has been assayed by the company that puts it out and shows that it does not contain any heavy metals. One person in an article I read said that the particular chlorella they analyzed showed the following: “I had Chlorella analyzed for minerals twice, 8 years apart and found quite a bit of mercury in it. The second time, arsenic was the primary and mercury, the second offender. No wonder the excretion went up on the urine collections! The more Chlorella taken, the more mercury was recovered: coming from the product itself!”[4]
Next I started taking a product called Mercury Magnet. I took Mercury Magnet in conjunction with Chlorella and saw even more come out in my stools than with Mercury Magnet alone. Since Mercury Magnet and Chlorella powder cause mercury elimination via the stools it was important to do stool testing for this purpose. So with these favorable results I continued to use Mercury Magnet and Chlorella for years. I could not go onto Mercury Magnet for more than 3 days in a row without feeling a mental fog and consequent unproductive state that it created. So I’d get 2 to 3 days of mercury detox then rest for a few days.
In my practice I saw several excellent case history results from using Mercury Magnet. One was a woman in Canada whose son that had Asperger’s was improved by 90% while taking Mercury Magnet. I saw my brother after the 3rd day get such a strong detox of mercury that he got a high fever and very sick for a week. This was due to the fact that his liver was not working well for detoxification and so the downloaded mercury was not exiting fast enough. Another client reported: I began taking Mercury Magnet and Chlorella, about 45days ago and I am now walking down 19 stairs as I did prior to the MS diagnosis! Frequently, I am able to stand for hours and walk unassisted, without a cane!! – Mercury Magnet and Chlorella — August 2004. So with these kinds of results I stuck with Mercury Magnet and Chlorella for a number of years.
Next I tried Cilantro. Cilantro has earned the reputation of being able to remove mercury and heavy metals based upon the observations of Dr. Yoshiaki Omura, President and Founder of the International College of Acupuncture & Electro-Therapeutics and Director of Medical Research of the Heart Disease Research Foundation. In 1995, Omura observed that subjects had higher than normal levels of mercury in their urine after consuming Vietnamese soup, which has large amounts of cilantro (also called “Chinese parsley”). He followed up on this accidental finding and discovered that giving cilantro to patients with mercury poisoning for several weeks successfully eliminated the toxin from the body.[5] I was not impressed with changes in my health with taking Cilantro so I discontinued it.
Every so often I would do another DMSA Urine challenge test. The results still showed lots of mercury coming out.
Next I tired Natural Cellular Defense Zeolite. This product had impressive results to back it up and I took this on and off for 1 to 2 years. At this point because I’m getting only minor changes to my functioning, I’m figuring that I’ve gotten most of the mercury out of my body. But in an effort to continue to find what is best for my clients, I continue to learn and try products offering better results.
Next I found and took the Quick Sliver Labs protocol of products, which consisted of: IMD (Intestinal Metals Detox), Liposomal Glutathione, Clear Way Co-Factors and some ascorbic acid. IMD (Intestinal Metals Detox) uses insoluble thiol (sulfur groups) bound to silica (sand) to bind and remove heavy metals accumulated in the intestines and to directly quench free-radicals. IMD Binds mercury and other heavy metals in the intestines and escorts these harmful contaminants out of the body. The emphasis here is that, once the mercury is removed from the intestines then the inflammation can go away in the intestines and then this leads to signaling the rest of the body that it is safe to release mercury and all toxins from the tissues. Liposomal Glutathione may have been helpful but was barely noticeable to me and was $70 for 4 ounces at retail. ClearWay Cofactors is a proprietary mixture of polyphenolic antioxidant phytonutrients, R-Lipoic Acid, Kelp, And B Vitamins designed to support the body’s natural antioxidant and detoxification systems. Antioxidants can support the cellular release of mercury and heavy metals. Ascorbic Acid is also known as a mild chelator of heavy metals and was mostly taken as an insurance policy to protect the body just a little bit more.
Clients I put on this costly protocol did not report back positive results and some people would not reorder. Indicating that no results were being experienced.
Along the way I also tried NAC and Cysteine. These are both amino acids needed by the body to turn on Glutathione production. Articles I’ve read indicate that NAC is more effective than Cysteine. I’ve used both and found them to be only mildly helpful.
If You Could Remove Mercury From Your Body In 3 Months v.s. 4 years which Would You Choose?
Now after having tried all of these, I consider them all either mild chelators of mercury, or good chelators of mercury but they do not support the livers job of filtering out the circulating mercury. This job of filtering out the circulating mercury is very, very important. For without it you will feel too ill and tired to do the detoxification on a daily basis. So working with a program that adequately supports the livers ability to filter out the mercury is key. The one product that stands out as the most effective to both activate the removal of mercury from all cells of the body and that includes the brain and support the livers ability to optimally filter out the circulating mercury is One World Whey. For two years I’ve been carrying One World Whey. It has been by far the most successful product I’ve ever worked with to support whole body detoxification of heavy metals, drug deposits and toxins of all kinds. The case histories on detoxification have come in more on One World Whey in the last two years than I’ve seen in the last 19 years with more sophisticated protocols. Here are some of those case histories:
These Testimonies all came in to our offices voluntarily and they were reported by people who had been taking the One World Whey for anywhere from two weeks to two and one half months.
TESTIMONIALS
Two Vaccine Damaged Children Improve
My son has suffered from border autism and constipation. I got him taking One World Whey and in two months’ time, he’s become more alert. His focus and concentration has improved. He’s been speaking to me normally. He’s started making friends and his constipation is gone. He’s been taking One World Whey every day and you know, you could offer him a present or cake and he most definitely prefers the whey.-Angie B.
My daughter was damaged by vaccines resulting in alternating diarrhea and constipation. Her inability to absorb her food resulted in hair loss, being listless and stunted in her growth. After getting her onto One World Whey and another supplement, her stools have normalized, her hair is growing, she is beaming and she is growing normally again. I’m really happy with the results and recommendations offered by my nutritional counselor. I credit the whey with a lot of her improvements. -Angie B
Detoxifies Metals and Increases Muscle Mass
“After being on the One World Whey™ for one week, I had a severe detox of metal particles from around my eyes, coming right out through the skin. Also I’ve been able to increase muscle mass without any more exercise. I’m very impressed with the health benefits that my wife and I have noticed.” -Doug Didero, Metallurgist
“It Has Changed My Life!”
“From infancy I’ve suffered from asthma and bronchial infections. Because of this, I have taken many rounds of antibiotics. I also take Prozac for depression. Even though I eat healthy and take supplements, I’ve never felt healthy. As a vegetarian, I was happy to find such a delicious protein powder as One World Whey.™ Within just a few weeks I feel renewed and have abundant energy. I highly recommend this product. It has changed my life!” -Sincerely, Rita Cash Wilkes”
Type 2 Diabetic Feels Like a Person Now that Blood Sugar is In optimum range.
“Okay, well, before, I’ve always been good with nutrition. You know, having a hard time working out but doing pretty good (running a little bit out of energy). Since then with the One World Whey, Alkalizer (Arise and Shine), Barley Grass, Mineral Magic, Nano Cal, Taurine, and Cod Liver Oil and the Floraderm and then I started noticing a lot more energy…with these products the muscle mass and I feel is just incredible.”
“My age is 69. I have been a diabetic for 19 years and I have to tell you that I came across the One World Whey and I no longer have my cravings and my glucose now is in a good range. When mine is in the 90’s to 113, I feel fabulous. I feel like a person. All I can say to you is that this has balanced me out. (Matter of fact, I’m never hungry anymore). I am so elated! I think you’ve never seen anyone dance around the house like I do.” –Helen
Detoxification
“I started with loose stools and diarrhea. I take quite a bit of supplements along with an alkaline smoothie, which I put, the One World Whey in it. I was trying to figure out what was causing it, when it dawned on me that, that the detox was causing it. This went on for almost a week. It subsided after I got off, but I plan on going back on again which means it might pick back up again, which obviously is what I want.” –Richard
Diabetes Normalizes and Neuropathy Gone
“I have had Type 1 diabetes for 35 years and have had no control over my blood sugars. It’s helped me to stabilize my blood sugars, helped me with my energy level, and I also notice my neuropathy pain in my feet disappeared. It also makes me look a lot younger. And yes, my twins love this stuff. To them, this whey is better than any candy you could ever offer them.”- Angie

So it became clear to me that One World Whey was effectively raising glutathione and this causes all cells of the body to detoxify. The liver also requires Glutathione for it’s own optimal functioning. When the liver is producing optimal glutathione for itself, its level of protection from free radicals and toxins is increased. This then allows the liver to take care of its filtration and many other jobs more effectively. Hence One World Whey appears to be a whey protein food that will support both the release of mercury from the cells and the livers ability to filter the circulating mercury out of the body.
By taking One World Whey you are supporting all 75 trillion cells of your body to produce the optimal level of glutathione. This means your supporting whole body detoxification and you are using the body’s innate mechanism for detoxification. This means you can remove more mercury, heavy metals and drug deposits in a shorter time than with any other chelators. If you choose to use these other natural chelators, you will only be removing very small amounts and therefore you will taking a long time to detoxify. In my educated opinion it can take two to four years or more to do the job. Based upon client results it appears that for most people with One World Whey you can detoxify most or your mercury, heavy metals, drug deposits and other toxins in 3 to 6 months.
How to Make One World Whey Work Even Better
Metabolic enzymes are enzymes produced by the cells of your body to produce energy, proteins, hormones, antioxidants and detoxification. Therefore without metabolic enzymes you could not make the body’s most number one antioxidant and detoxifier glutathione. To insure you are making optimal levels of metabolic enzymes you need the entire spectrum of trace and macro minerals. Trace minerals are absent in our soil and food supply.
The five longest-lived cultures live to be an average of 100 to 140 years of age and are free of all degenerative diseases. They are the Tibetans in the northwest of China, the Hunzakut of eastern Pakistan, the Russian Georgians (and their sister cultures of Armania, Azerbaijian and Abkehazia in the Caucasus Mountains and certain regions of Turkey, the Vilcabamba in the Andes of Ecuador and the Titicaca of the Peruvian Andes are all famous for their large number of centinarians. How? These cultures obviously do not all eat the same foods. However, the 6 things they do have in common are:
1) They live at 8,500 to 14,000 feet in mountain valleys.
2) The annual rainfall is less than 2 inches.
3) Their water is derived from glaciers grinding the sides of mountains into mineral silt. This silt becomes a part of the water that they drink and irrigate with. This mineral rich water is so full of minerals that you cannot see through it. It is an opaque white and is called glacial milk.
4) There is no heavy industry to pollute the area.
5) To fertilize their fields, they only use food debris, manure and glacial milk water.
6) Western allopathic medicine was not historically available to these cultures. The mineral-rich silt that creates this “fountain of youth” is complete in all the 60 to 72 plus minerals required to optimally feed soil, plants and more importantly, the animals and people who drink the water or eat the plants and animals. This “glacial milk” is one ingredient we can control in our diet. We can add a full spectrum mineral powder to our diet to make up for what we are not getting in our food and water.
It is these minerals that then enable your body to make metabolic enzymes. Once you make metabolic enzymes then your body can make many, many, substances including glutathione. Mineral Magic is the product I have used and recommended for 8 years to support this. It has consistently helped people have more energy, need less food, have more mental clarity, lose their craving for junk foods and reverse gray hair about 40% of the time.
