Debra’s Answer

Without going into a review of all possible detox methods (which I have been studying intently the last six months) the best and safest method I have found is activated liquid zeolite.

I have been writing about this in my newsletter off and on since last July, and the more I use it, the more I like it.

It is the safest detox I know of because all it does is bind the chemicals and metals and take them out of your body via urine. It bypasses all your detox organs, so even if you kidneys are weak, even if your liver is clogged, even if your intestines are sluggish this still works.

It is so safe, even children and babies can do it.

You just take odorless, tasteless drops 3 times a day. The detox dose is 10 drops 3x/day and the maintenance dose is 3 drops/3x day. The detox dose removes chemicals already in your body; the maintenance dose removes new chemicals you are exposed to daily, after you do the detox.

Question from HEG

Debra,

I just purchased a nylon rug with latex backing from IKEA for my toddler’s playroom. It does not smell, but I am curious what you think regarding whether it is toxic/appropriate for a child’s playroom or if I should find something differentt? Thanks.

Debra’s Answer

Nylon is not toxic (even though it is a plastic made of petrochemicals), but latex can be a problem.

If it were me, I would keep latex out of a nursery or child’s room because it is very easy to develop latex allergy from repeated exposure.

I would get a plain cotton washable rug.

Question from Susan50

I am wanting to soundproof my bedroom as it is so noisy I find it impossbile to get a full nights sleep. Here are my details:

Please let me know your thoughts, I really appreciate your feedback as I am so sleep deprived.

Debra’s Answer

The QuietRock looks pretty good to me. You can see the MSDS at QuietRock MSDS.

There are a few petrochemical ingredients at less than one percent, which may or may not be a problem. I would suggest that you get at least one sheet before you install it and put it in your bedroom and sleep with it before making a decision. Then I would probably get as many sheets as you need and sleep with all of them spread out around the room before you install them. Then if everything is OK, install.

Question from Susan50

Hi Debra:

I am wondering if your detox drops will work for me.

I have severe MCS, would the drops make my MCS better since they remove chemicals from the body?

My naturopath doctor did a heavy medals urine test, that showed my mercury levels were dangerously high. He put me on DMS (I think that was the name….) tablets, that I had such a bad reaction to that I had to go off them. The doctor said my MCS will never improve if I do not go back on the tablets that made me so sick. I am not happy with the zero choices he has.

Will the drops decrease or remove my mercury levels? Will this make my MCS better?

I am hoping to find out the answers to these questions as I am nervous about spending money on the drops as I am low income due to my MCS disablity.

Debra’s Answer

If I were you, I would give my detox drops a try.

They are simply zeolite, a naturally occurring mineral, in purified water.

What they do is attract molecules of heavy metals and other toxicants, and carry them out of your body via your urine. The metals are attracted in a particular order, mercury being the first to be removed. Because these drops are simply the active ingredient in water, it doesn’t need to dissolve like a tablet, or be absorbed, it simply goes into your bloodstream and attracts the metals and chemicals.

I would say if you have high levels of mercury in your body, you do need to do something to detox, and this is the safest, gentlest, most effective method I know of for mercury removal.

Now, if you have symptoms while detoxing, you need to drink more water to flush the chemicals through faster. As uncomfortable as it may be, you will feel so much better after you’ve detoxed and be much healthier.

Question from ybm_green

Hi, Debra, Just bought your book Home Safe Home from amazon.com and started to read it.

We bought unfinished pine wood platform bedframe from online, and find it smells strong (wood smell).

In your book, you mentioned that pine wood offgassing pestcide. Regret did not find your book earlier. What kind of option do I have now? It is very hard to return since we brough it online and shipping back is not easy. Looking forward to you opinion.

Debra’s Answer

I think I said that pine outgasses resins that have a strong odor.

If what you are smelling is wood smell, you are smelling the wood. Wood does smell and it’s not toxic. Some people react individually to pine resins.

I actually have a lot of pine wood in my house. The smell does go away, especially if you put the wood outdoors in the sun.

I’m not concerned about solid wood being toxic.

ASSOCIATED PRESS: US says too much fluoride in water

A government study found about 2 out of 5 adolescents have tooth streaking or spottiness because of too much fluoride. In some extreme cases, teeth can even be pitted by fluoride.

Most communities have fluoride in their water supplies, and it is in toothpaste too. Some kids are also given fluoride supplements.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is announced a proposal to change the recommended fluoride level to 0.7 milligrams per liter of water. And the Environmental Protection Agency will review whether the maximum cutoff of 4 milligrams per liter is too high.

The standard since 1962 has been a range of 0.7 to 1.2 milligrams per liter.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the splotchy tooth condition, fluorosis, is unexpectedly common in kids ages 12 through 15. And it appears to have grown much more common since the 1980s.

Other concerns…A scientific report five years ago said that people who consume a lifetime of too much fluoride — an amount over EPA’s limit of 4 milligrams — can lead to crippling bone abnormalities and brittleness.
