 I first heard of heavy metal toxicity working at the Children's Hospital in Winnipeg over 50 years ago. At that time many young children were coming in with lead poisoning as we still used to paint our cribs and walls with paint that had lead in it. The treatment at that time was intravenous EDTA.  We no longer use lead in paint especially not on cribs.  I believe EDTA is still used as a chelating agent for lead and other heavy metal poisoning Next big area of heavy metal use was in the amalgam filling in dentistry.  Now many people are carefully removing these filling preferably by dentists who know the way to detox the mercury from their systems.  It's a big industry now, helping people remove mercury from their mouths. We are finding out that our oceans are polluted with mercury and other heavy metals and many people are questioning the safety of eating the harvest coming from the seas. The industrial age has created all kinds of toxicity. Slowly our awarene...

 The colon is an intelligent organ.  As food is digested and travelling through the digestive tract or alimentary canal it reaches the colon.  The beneficial bacteria and fibre and water have to be in the right balance to create a stool that nourishes the lining of the colon as it travels done its journey to be eliminated.   However sometimes this balance is disrupted for whatever reason and we can get diarrhea.  It can be a bacterial imbalance or sometimes toxins that are being eliminated are irritating the lining of the colon and they need to be flushed out.  In either case its not a terrible even if it is short lived and you maintain a good hydration of your body. Please check the previous blogs of hydration teas. Also just taking some apple juice with a pinch of salt is a quick hydration drink.  The "pedialyte" that you buy in drugs stores is a blend of SODIUM AND POTASSIUM in water to replace the loss of electrolytes.  However if the per...

  Did you know that the mucous lining in your nose produces antibodies?   This is amazing!   We all know that the nostrils are an important first protection from environmental antigens (bacteria, virus, pollens, chemicals etc). The mucous moistens, warms and cleans the air that we breath.   But is does much more than that. It produces the antibody, Immunoglobulin A. Ayurveda has known of the importance of the nostrils, sinuses and oral mucosa for 1000’s of years. I get very excited when modern science confirms Ayurvedic wisdom. It shows me that there is some progress in the consciousness of the scientific community. Recently a Michael W. Russell emeritus professor Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, wrote a scientific paper emphasizing the importance of nasal and oral mucous lining in the immune response. He states, “Clearly the response of the systemic immunoglobulin G antibody (the most abundant circulating ...
