I have been doing a lot of reading since the intrusion of this Covid-19 virus into the United States and the devastating impact it has had on our country, our way of life, healthcare, economy and mortality and in so many other ways; and I know a lot has been said about what steps could have been taken to preempt the disease and how the country should have been prepared for such an onslaught by this unprecedented death and destruction.

Medical officials have told us that the attack of this killer virus is most lethal on the elderly and those with underlying health conditions – although younger, healthier individuals have fallen victim also, perhaps due to geographical location or being too close to a carrier. Whatever the reason(s) the virus has taken too many lives and – at the time of this writing – threatens to do more harm because doctors, scientists and our countries leaders have warned us of more difficult days ahead since there isn’t even a vaccine for this disease and one probably will not be available for months to come.

I’m at home with my wife here in the state of Georgia and, like you, we hardly leave our apartment except to pick up a few essential items from the supermarket (thank God for those guys, as well as the many other front-liners), post office or drug store so I have a lot of time to read and research different aspects of life in this new order of existence, and it seems one of the best ways to spend this involuntary quarantine-like time is learn the best ways to stay strong and healthy over and above what authorities have instructed.

The body

It has always been apparent to me that when we treat our bodies right – healthy foods, exercise, supplements, etc.) there is a great degree of certainty that it can take care of itself by repelling whatever harmful, alien substances find their way into it, because the body houses many defenses not the least of which is the immune system, the most formidable defender of all. I’ve always thought this was true but I’m not a doctor, scientist or other health practitioner so my assertions are largely based on information obtained from scientific articles published to websites like PubMed, the FDA and the WHO among others. More details about the immune system can be obtained by downloading this free report titled, Understanding The Immune System-How It Works

In view of the above I honestly believe that we can take steps to optimize our immune to optimum working condition, or strengthen it if it’s not as formidable as it should be; but in order to do so we must first remove any/all substances or elements that weakens it thereby making us susceptible to illnesses from viruses and other forms of infections. I want to share with you, this excerpt from an article published to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Bookshelf titled, How does the immune system work?: [1]

The immune system (from the Latin word immunis, meaning: “free” or “untouched”) protects the body like a guardian from harmful influences from the environment and is essential for survival. It is made up of different organs, cells and proteins and aside from the nervous system, it is the most complex system that the human body has.

As long as our body’s system of defense is running smoothly, we do not notice the immune system. And yet, different groups of cells work together and form alliances against just about any pathogen (germ). But illness can occur if the performance of the immune system is compromised, if the pathogen is especially aggressive, or sometimes also if the body is confronted with a pathogen it has not come into contact [with] before.

Without an immune system, a human being would be just as exposed to the harmful influences of pathogens or other substances from the outside environment as to changes harmful to health happening inside of the body. The main tasks of the body’s immune system are:

  • to fight disease-causing germs (pathogens) like bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi, and to remove them from the body;
  • to recognize and neutralize harmful substances from the environment, and;
  • to fight disease-causing changes in the body, such as cancer cells.

Based on the findings indicated in this article it is clear that our body’s immune system is tasked with protecting us from numerous harmful pathogens including viruses; but it is also tasked with recognizing and neutralizing harmful substances from the environment and fighting disease-causing changes in the body that would otherwise create havoc and mutation of the cells leading to certain death.

To keep us healthy

Armed with this information it is certainly reasonable to surmise that the next logical step would be to find the means and best methods available to enhance your immune system to its maximum strength making it as capable as possible to do the job of keeping us healthy, especially in times of perilous conditions and viral challenges to our well-being, like the present day.

Of course, we ought not to wait until the fire starts to then go out and attempt to get hazard insurance because your efforts, after the fact, would be futile. No insurance company will write a fire policy during or after a blaze affecting the premises to be insured. So if we agree with the futility of such efforts in this example, then we may also agree that we should likewise not wait until we’re infected with a virus of any kind to start taking steps to optimize our immune system but rather, start looking into possible ways to do so now.

the universal indicator of human wellness!

According to Miriam Webster Dictionary Definitions, a toxin is, “a poisonous substance that is a specific product of the metabolic activities of a living organism and is usually very unstable, notably toxic when introduced into the tissues, and typically capable of inducing antibody formation,” and according to the Cambridge Dictionary Definitions, a toxin is “a poisonous substance, [especially] one that is produced by bacteria and causes disease.” Now that we know what can be most dangerous to our body, let’s take a look at the most effective remedy – aside from an antidote – to prevent toxins and other poisonous substances from creating the damage on our body that we know they are capable of.

Using the same sources, detoxification is defined by the Miriam Webster Dictionary cited above as a process “to remove a harmful substance (such as a poison or toxin) or the effect of such from” a living organism, and Cambridge Dictionary defines detoxification as “the process of removing harmful or toxic chemicals;” “the process of removing harmful chemicals from something.” This is the strongest evidence I have found to-date that detoxification is the best remedial solution for treating or ridding oneself of the harmful and, at times, lethal affects on the human body.

Methods

At this point, after fully comprehending the last three paragraphs, the questions of “what,” “where,” “how,” and “when,” may very well be occupying sections of our consciousness. What is the best method of detoxification? Where can I get it? How do I use it? And, When will it be available, if not immediately? In an attempt to provide answers to these questions I will enlist the help of a biochemist who is someone I am familiar with, but first we will need to explore the only two methods of detoxification I’m aware of.

The first is known as chelation. In an article titled, A dangerous treatment for autism, [2] by Gordon Hopkins, Rural Health News Service, this method of detoxification is described as follows:

Chelation therapy is a treatment for heavy-metal poisoning and is approved by the American Medical Association and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for that purpose alone.

In chelation therapy, the chemical abbreviated as EDTA is injected into the bloodstream to remove heavy metals or minerals from a person suffering from heavy-metal poisoning. Chelating drugs are usually administered intravenously. Once the drug has bound itself to the metals in a person’s bloodstream, the drugs and metals are removed from the body through urination.

Chelation therapy is safe when done properly and for the right reason – heavy-metal poisoning – but it also has become a popular treatment for other conditions. Unlike some “alternative” treatments, which are useless but harmless, inappropriate use of EDTA can be dangerous. Any health care provider using chelation therapy to treat anything other than heavy-metal poisoning is in violation of AMA rules and risks having his or her license revoked and worse.

What’s a zeolite?

The other method of detoxification, known as zeolite-based products , are not intrusive in any way but, for that reason, have been misconstrued by many as being less effective. However, users of zeolite-based detoxification products experience similar results over a longer period of time so zeolites are a constant source of detox, which is even more important in view of the fact that our environment is a constant source of toxins, heavy metals and other poisons ingested through our food, drink and air.

To be the healthiest you can be during a pandemic – without a vaccine – not only requires home shelter, hand-washing and social distancing; it also requires you to strengthen your immune system (the body’s best defense against disease) by removing substances that enter your body with the food, drink and air you eat, drink and breathe daily that weaken it.
