Here’s a simple, affordable way to remove heavy metals like mercury, aluminum, and lead from the body: eat more cilantro (also called “Chinese parsley”)!

In 1995, 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, observed that subjects had higher than normal levels of mercury in their urine after consuming Vietnamese soup, which has large amounts of cilantro.

He soon learned that giving cilantro to patients with mercury poisoning for several weeks successfully eliminated the toxin from the body.

Common Sources of Heavy Metals:

• Non-organic foods: Heavy metals are used in pesticides and fertilizers, so they’re sprayed on plants and dumped on the soil the plants use as food.
• Water supply: Industrial and agricultural waste goes right into the water supply when it rains.
• Eating fish: Fish living in polluted environments become polluted (just as we do).
• In mother’s milk: Pollution from mother to infant is commonly found.
• The blood of newborns: Pollution in the womb; its found consistently
• Mainstream deodorants: Women often apply aluminum after shaving and create small holes in the skin. (Aluminum absorbs either way, but this makes it easier.)
• Cigarette smoke: Hundreds of chemicals are in cigarettes – heavy metals too.
• Foods cooked in aluminum cookware or aluminum foil
• Over-the-counter drugs, including antacids
• Vaccines: Even if administered in youth
• Your mouth: If you have “silver” fillings

Heavy Metal Toxicity – Disease Connection:
Heavy metals have been connected with cancer, heart disease, brain deterioration, emotional problems, kidney disease, lung disease, and weak bones.  (These are often diseases we associate with “just getting older”.)

39 million people have Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease in the world. Because of environmental toxins, that number grows every year.  Toxic components in daily living increase a person’s susceptibility to cancer, stroke, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, free radicals, aging and more.

Need proof that the chemicals in fresh paint and new carpet have a negative, toxic effect on the body? . . . After a recent office remodel (involving new carpet and fresh paint), we did our usual ion foot detox, and for the first time ever, the water in our foot detox bath was dark green with lots of black flecks (This is a sign of major toxic exposure being released from our system- the presence of black flecks demonstrates the release of heavy metals).

What is an Ion Detox Foot Spa System?

A Detox Foot Spa System is a fast, effective and non-invasive way of stimulating and balancing the bio-energetic fields of the body, facilitating better organ function and auto-detoxification.  These units allow an amazing detoxification process to occur via the pores of the feet.  And, they ultimately make the liver, intestines, kidneys, lungs, skin and immune system more efficient at keeping us healthy.  Using an ion detox foot spa can help your body eliminate this toxic build up and protect your health. (It is strongly recommended that you follow a regular and continuous detoxification program with an ion detox machine.)

The following conditions have been studied using ion foot baths as a healing modality:

• Improved liver and kidney function
• Improved circulation
• Increased metabolic function of cell membranes
• Reduced arthritic pain and decreased inflammation of muscles/joints
• Fungal infections and skin problems
• Mercury and heavy metal accumulation
• Menstrual pain and PMS
• Headaches and migraines
• Balanced body pH levels

What Happens During a Session?

A foot detox spa treatment is a safe, straightforward treatment that involves immersing one’s feet into a bowl or tub filled with water and salt in order to detoxify the body.  While safely immersing your feet in the water with an array that is plugged into the ion detox machine, the system emits a series of timed positive and negative ions that invigorate, recondition and synchronize the body’s natural ionic flow. The result is that your body can detox safely at it’s own pace. (The best results are achieved by running a 30 minute ion foot detox program.)  There is no discomfort during the treatment. The process is very safe but it is not recommended for pregnant women, anyone with a pacemaker or people with organ transplants.

What exactly causes the water to change color when you do an ion detox footbath?

Answer: Oxidation between the machine and the salt solution, chemicals in your tap water and the toxins expelled from your system. (The toxins in your system will diminish over the course of regular treatments as fewer and fewer toxins are released.) The color change will often be different from person to person. The different colors of the toxins expelled from the body will help you uncover your bodies health status.

Why Does the Ion Detox Foot Spa System Work?

The feet have an enormous number of pores (about 2000 pores in each foot!).  According to reflexology, each foot is an efficient and convenient channel or conduit through which your body attempts to cleanse itself of toxic wastes and heavy metals that are building in many parts of your body.  During the foot bath, the water interacts with a compound electric current and magnetic field structure.  As soon as the foot detox machine is powered on, gas bubbles form around the electrodes indicating that an electrolytic reaction is taking place.  This cleansing process creates the correct frequency for cells to return to a healthy state, and to release waste that has been bonded to them over the years.  The water in the foot bath becomes an extension of the water in the body, separated only by a thin membrane of skin. (Detoxification is now accepted as a major component of anti-aging medicine.)

According to the American College of Rheumatology, (2004), about one in fifty Americans have fibromyalgia, which accounts for three to six million people in the U.S. Fibromyalgia is the second most common ailment affecting the musculoskeletal system after osteoarthritis.

Common Symptoms of Fibromyalgia:

* Exhaustion from head to toe

* Widespread pain (Think back to a time when you had a bad case of the flu to gain a better understanding of what fibromyalgia pain feel like.)

* Jaw or facial tenderness with symptoms similar to TMJ disorder

* Sensitivity to odors, noise, bright lights, medications, various foods and emotional or mental distress

* Major depression

* Constant headaches or migraines

Common Causes may Include:

* Nutritional deficiencies

* Immune system problems – Certain immunologic abnormalities are common among people with fibromyalgia. Some suggest that fibromyalgia is the result of toxins accumulating in the muscles from lactic acid build-up.

* Physically unfit muscles

* Disturbance in brain chemistry – Many people who develop fibromyalgia have a history of clinical depression.

* Sleep disturbances or Insomnia. Many researchers have noticed that fibromyalgia sufferers have a low level of serotonin. They suggest that the central cause of the pain of fibromyalgia is due to this low level of serotonin. Chronic low levels of serotonin cause the sensation of pain to be greatly exaggerated. The low levels of serotonin also may be the culprit of the insomnia and sleep disturbances found in fibromyalgia patients.

* Candida or intestinal candida overgrowth

* Food allergies (dairy products, wheat, fermented foods, and nightshades-potatoes, eggplant-are most common)

* Emotional stress and/or Adrenal Exhaustion

* Chronic mercury poisoning from amalgam dental fillings

* Hypothyroidism

Can Fibromyalgia be Healed?: Yes, it can! A good chiropractor with solid fibromyalgia experience and nutritional training or a naturopath can help with the intensive nutritional and diet therapy this is needed to overcome this debilitating condition. And, there are cutting edge supplements, such as the one at http://www.cudiscovery.com, that can make a tremendous difference for fibromyalgia sufferers.

Here’s an encouraging testimonial shared by one of our clients:

“I developed fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and adrenal fatigue almost 3 years ago. I was sleeping about 20 hours a day. With supplements and diet changes, my health slowly improved. After 2 years, I was able to stay up most of the day, but if I went out for a couple of hours, I was exhausted and had to return to bed for several days (sometimes up to 2 weeks!).

After about 3 weeks on the supplement at http://www.cudiscovery.com, my energy increased, and the continual pain reduced by about 50%! After about 2 months, I was able to go out shopping 3-4 days a week, and the pain had reduced by about 70%. Currently, I am able to do just about anything I want to do again, if it’s not too strenuous.

I was out for 14 hours the other day and became worn out, but I noticed that the recuperation period is less than 2 days now, instead of 7-10 days!

Thanks to this supplement, “hope” has returned to my thinking processes and I have become positive again. It has returned “quality” to my life!“
