Cadmium Sources


Sources of Toxins: Cigarettes, Factory Smoke, Fast Food Preservatives, Alcohol, Pesticides, Toxic Garbage

Food: Shellfish and organ meats such as liver can be high in cadmium.   Other foods such as potatoes, rice, sunflower seeds, spinach and other leafy greens.

Other Sources: Cadmium can be found in soils because insecticides, fungicides, sludge, and commercial fertilizers that use cadmium are used in agriculture. Therefore, this is a source of significant amounts of the metal from the soil and environment to enter food sources.  Cigarettes also contain cadmium. Lesser-known sources of exposure are dental alloys, electroplating, motor oil, and exhaust. Inhalation accounts for 15-50% of absorption through the respiratory system; 2-7% of ingested cadmium is absorbed in the gastrointestinal system. Mining and smelting of lead and zinc, nickel-cadmium batteries, PVC plastics, and paint pigments.

Of 275 hazardous substances at toxic waste sites cadmium ranks number 7 for risks to people around those sites.

Alert: Protein Drinks Contain Poisonous Heavy Metals


Consumer Report purchased 15 protein powders and drinks and tested multiple samples of each for arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury. The results showed that all 15 protein drinks contain poisonous heavy metals in considerable amounts.  The levels in three products were of particular concern because consuming three servings a day could result in daily exposure to arsenic, cadmium, or lead that exceeds the limits proposed by USP.

Protein Powder Toxicity Chart

+++

Which Protein Drinks Contain Poisonous Heavy Metals?

To know which shakes are more poisonous, we have to compare their contents to the proposed USP limit.

Myoplex Above Heavy Metal Limit for Arsenic and Cadmium

Based on this chart, three daily servings of the ready-to-drink liquid EAS Myoplex Original Rich Dark Chocolate Shake exceeds the proposed USP limit of 15 µg per day for arsenic.  It also exceeds the proposed USP limit of 5 µg per day for cadmium. Though the concentrations in most products were relatively low, the  large suggested serving size (the number of micrograms per day for a few of the products) was high compared with most others tested.”

Muscle Milk Above Heavy Metal Limit for Lead and Arsenic

The samples of Muscle Milk Chocolate powder tested contained all four heavy metals, and levels of three metals in the product were among the highest of all in the tests. Three daily servings of Muscle Milk Vanilla Crème exceeded lead and arsenic limits.

Heavy Metals Lead to Kidney Damage

Since heavy metals such as mercury and cadmium  accumulate in the kidneys and can cause excessive kidney damage, having these substances in a protein drink is cause for great concern.  It takes the body 25 years to eliminate half of the mercury consumed in one day and 20 years for cadmium.  Even worse is consuming both of these highly toxic metals at once increased their dangerous effects.

Add this to the fact that most people have other sources of exposure to these substances and we have a major problem!

Why We Overeat #2: To Store Toxins


toxin exposure

 

Overeating can be a response to the toxic world that we now live in.  Every single day we are bombarded with toxins such as:

  • mercury from dental fillings, seafood and factories
  • arsenic from rice and quinoa
  • aluminum from deodorant, green tea and aluminum foil
  • nicotine from inhaled cigarette smoke
  • preservatives and pesticides in food

These are toxins that we were never intended to be exposed to so our bodies don’t know how to get rid of them. You began absorbing and storing some of these toxins while you were in your mother’s womb and will continue to absorb and store then until the day you die.

If you have “silver” fillings, you swallow mercury in your saliva every day. It takes 25 years for your body to get rid of half of the mercury swallowed in one day. In other words, one hundred years later, you still will not have gotten rid of all of the mercury from the first day the fillings were put in your mouth.  As a result, you have to store the mercury.

If you smoke, your inhale cadmium and nicotine with each puff.  You body does not know how to get rid of the nicotine.  Therefore, the nicotine will be stored in your lungs and other places until the day you die.  You body will require more nutrients (especially protein and minerals) to handle the cadmium and nicotine.  

The toxins are stored in places like your bone marrow, heart, brain, joints, hair and fat cells.  In the case of fat storage, your body will make you overeat in order to make the extra fat to store the mercury and other toxins.  To accomplish this, your body has to put you in what we call “fat storage mode”.  In this case, your body is trying to extend your life by choosing the lesser of two evils (overeating leading to obesity or immediate death).

Bad Food Choice #3: Most Restaurant Food


your body your choice

Bad food choice #3 deals with most restaurant foods.  Over 100 years ago, there were very few meals eaten in restaurants. We ate home cooked meals from food that was grown locally in soil full of nutrients, thereby causing the food to be rich in nutrients also. Today, many people eat EVERY meal from a restaurant that has no concern for nutrients. The restaurant’s concern is for appearance, taste and texture because those are the things that will cause you to like the food enough to pay high prices and keep coming. So, we now have people filling up on food that has no nutritious value for EVERY single meal.  As a result, the body will keep requesting more and more food hoping that you will finally give it the nutrients it has been asking for.  Satisfy your body.  Give it the food it truly needs and it will stop asking you to eat more!

Bad Food Choice #1: High Sugar with Low Fiber


your body your choiceHIGH SUGAR WITH LOW FIBER RELEASES INSULIN

If you take a close look at the way food naturally exist, you will find that most foods with a lot of sugar also have a lot of fiber. The fiber holds onto the sugar and causes it to be slowly released. When you remove the fiber and just eat the sugar, the sugar rushes to your blood stream all at once raising your blood sugar level too high. When the blood sugar level gets too high, the body releases insulin.

Most people think that the true job of insulin is to bring down the sugar level. WRONG! That is like saying that the true job of a mechanic is to change tires. Yes, that is a part of it, but such a little part of it. The true job of insulin is to put your body into fat storage mode. To accomplish this, the insulin will make changes at your thyroid gland, liver and male and female private body parts to keep you still so you won’t keep using up the energy you have told your body to store as fat.  The more you sit still, the more weight you gain.

How do you prevent this?  Only eat high sugar foods if you have the fiber present naturally or because you added it back into the food.

Why We Over Eat #1: Bad Food Choices


your body your choiceREASON #1: BAD FOOD CHOICES

If you are making the wrong food choices you can be giving your body the signal to make fat. This will cause your body to try to store the calories you eat as fat instead of burning them off. In order to turn the calories into fat and not burn them off, your body must make some major changes to slow you down and make you feel sluggish so you will be still and sedentary rather than get up and move and jump all around.

So what are some of the bad food choices we often make?

Tell us what you think and them read the next few posts to see the bad food choices that we will give.

Eating a Watermelon


Watermelon with a knife in it.

Eating a Watermelon: Preparation

In preparing to eat a watermelon, first cut the watermelon in half.  Cover one half and store in the refrigerator.

Eating a Watermelon:

Take the second half and cut a crosshatch pattern in it.  Now put a fork in it and sit it on a plate.  You eat the watermelon by using a fork to pop out the small sections created by the crosshatch pattern.  Pop these in your mouth and enjoy over the course of an hour or two.  Remember, once you finish eating it, it is best to wait at least 20 minutes before eating something else.

Eating a Watermelon: Crosshatch Pattern Instructions

Cut at least 5-10 lines all going in the same direction.  These lines should go all the way across the watermelon and be side by side.  Make sure that your knife goes all the way to the rind as you are cutting the crosshatch pattern.  Now, turn the watermelon so that you can cut perpendicular lines (like a plus sign) all the way across the watermelon.  Again, make sure that your knife goes all the way to the rind as you are cutting the crosshatch pattern.

Service Spotlight: Iridology


Iridology, looking into the possibilities!Iridology is the service were the spotlight need to shine!  Iridology is beneficial for life because it allows you to know the possibilities for your genetic predispositions.  This means that you can find out if it is possible that your kidneys were weak from birth.  Knowing this can let you make sure that you always take good care of your kidneys.  Yes, we should always take care of all of our body.  But, let’s face reality and recognize that sometimes knowing that a particular weakness is there is a true motivator for taking good care of that area of your body.

Watermelon…..mmm…mmm…yummy!


watermelon

Not only is watermelon delicious, but it is full of  hydrating juice, colon cleansing fiber and a wonderful nutrient called citrulline.  Citrulline helps the body eliminate toxic ammonia, block the production of fat and more.  Though your body makes its own citrulline, giving it a bit more from watermelon can be just wonderful!

Watermelon has only 46 calories per cup.  This means that you can eat half of a medium watermelon and not get too many more calories than found in a candy bar!

But can you get a watermelon that is as sweet as a candy bar?  Yes you can.  Place your ear next to the watermelon and knock on it with the knuckles of your fist.  Knock right by your ear.  Listen for a deep sound.  The deeper the better.  If you aren’t sure, then buy the deepest sounding one you can find.  See if it is sweet.  If it is, then you got it right first try.  If it isn’t then learn to find the deeper sounding ones.

Once you master this technique, you will get sweeter and sweeter watermelons.  mmmm…mmmm….yummy!
