You know that familiar saying… "What goes around, comes around" 

Indeed that certainly seems to be the case here. 

NCD Wellness, so I have heard, will be launching as a new MLM company with one of James (Jim) Flowers products. They have some familiar names promoting it too. Let us look at the name first.

As many of us know, NCD has been used as an acronym for Natural Cellular Defense. Natural Cellular Defense is the name of Waiora’s  WATER and zeolite product. Waiora, in a predictable lack of foresight, failed to trademark the name NCD. (not very smart huh?) So now, another company is launching with a similar product, in direct competition, with a name that some people associate with Waiora’s product. 

Will Waiora Sue NCD Wellness?

Will Waiora sue? Maybe, but since they don’t own the trademark for NCD, only Natural Cellular Defense, they may or may not win. 

Once again, Waiora has failed to protect their own income, and their distributors income. I guarantee you that within a few months the marketers of this new company will own Google for NCD related search terms. 

Using NCD in the company name is actually pretty smart, since Waiora has already done such a great job making the term familiar. Talk about causing a little brand confusion!  I smell a good marketer here.  

Who Else is Involved in NCD Wellness?

Ah yes, a little google search shows that Troy Shanks is promoting NCD Wellness. troyshanks.com/ncd-wellness Troy and Matt Geottsche have been working together on the ZeoPure project. (another zeolite product by James Flowers). 

Both Matt and Troy were Waiora distributors. Both of them are brilliant internet marketers, and Matt at least has a good mind for systems. He was the brain behind the NCD Riches system that was a feeder for Waiora. The beauty of the name for the new company is that Matt will be able to use a lot of his old material… a lot of that material is already optimized and ready to go.

There is the issue of competition. Isn’t Troy competing with his own Zeopure business?

Matt was terminated from Waiora, I believe when he was promoting ZUS. What was ZUS you ask? Another MLM attempt with another zeolite product manufactured by (you guessed it) Jim Flowers. Dave Jordan was also involved with ZUS. Who is Dave Jordan? Dave was a Diamond with Waiora, who was terminated too (for no reason?) and was going to be a founding distributor for ZUS. Last I heard Dave was working as top distributor for "Live Smart 360". 360 used to be cyberwize and is owned by Mark McCool. 360 have a product called "zeo smart".  http://www.360zeosmart.com/

This time last year Jim Flowers was happily tweeting about bringing a new zeolite product to a company in Florida. https://twitter.com/zeoliteexperts That was Zeosmart. 

I have also heard a rumor that the owner of NCD Wellness is James Watson who was also the owner of (the failed before it ever got out of the gate) ZUS. Don’t quote me on that… I haven’t got verification of it yet. :- ) 

What about James (Jim) Flowers? Jim was the real manufacturer of Waiora’s NCD (Natural Cellular Defense). See Waiora contracted Rik Deitsch to produce the product, and Rik had Jim actually make it. Jim is Rik Deitsch’s cousin by marriage. Waiora tried to lock down Jim Flowers, hopefully to prevent him from selling competition products all over the place, but in the end they couldn’t. Why? Because Waiora’s contract is (was?) with Rik Deitsch. And Waiora doesn’t OWN anything. No patents. No "proprietary" formula. Why? Because James Flowers was manufacturing the product. HE is the one who did the processing for Waiora’s product. 

Waiora has a new manufacturer  and (despite the owners saying otherwise) the NCD (Natural Cellular Defense) product is different than it used to be. Now, we already know that tests done  on Waiora’s product showed 1/100th of the zeolite, in the bottle tested, than the label listed when Rik Deitsch and James Flowers were manufacturing the product. Rik claims he told the new manufacturer how to make the product, but it is definitely a lot different than it was. Maybe Rik never knew how Jim did it?

The next logical question is… Does Rik Deitsch have a hand in the NCD Wellness product or any of the other zeolite products that Jim Flowers put out? They are cousins, and they have business ties. That would be something Waiora would want to check out I would think. Well I digress, but that certainly would be interesting to look into. (stay tuned… :- ) 

NCD Wellness. on their marketing website, claim to have sold 5 million bottles of product! Are they counting Waiora’s 3.5 million bottles plus whatever Matt and Troy have sold of zeopure? 

Add to all of this that the new company, NCD Wellness, is going to be using a matrix style compensation plan. In the history of MLM there has only ever been one company with a matrix pay plan that survived. 

So let us recap:

• NCD Wellness is using the acronym for Natural Cellular Defense, opening themselves up right away for a potential lawsuit.
• James Watson (owner of the failed MLM ZUS) is rumored to be the owner of  NCD Wellness
• Troy Shanks is starting his marketing for NCD Wellness. Troy has been partners with Matt Goetsch in marketing Zeopure. (another product manufactured by Jim Flowers) Matt and Troy are internet marketers, and are in a position to corner the NCD keywords in the major search engines. (I think Matt and Troy should ditch everyone and come work with me. We would rule the world!! :- ) 
• Jim Flowers manufactured zeolite products for Waiora, Live Smart 360 and Zus, plus Zeopure and who the heck knows what else. 
• NCD Wellness has a matrix pay plan.

Pass the popcorn. :- )))

(much later on… ) 

So I’ve had a great afternoon catching up with some folks that I haven’t spoken to in a while. and a couple of corrections to my story. 

Matt gave me a ring today. It was super to hear about what he has been up to this last while.  He was kind enough to fill me in on the bits I didn’t know about this new company! He was also kind enough not to give me a hard time about spelling his name wrong! /:- )

He did inform me that he isn’t actually promoting NCD Wellness as a distributor, or owner. He has been hired for his ‘systems’ specialty. (Lucky them… ) As I mentioned, Matt is brilliant with systems, and I have no doubt that hiring him to run the back end was a good move. 

James Watson of ZUS fame is not involved. That rumor turned out to be just that… a rumor. (I am so glad I called it :- ) 

I had a chance to chat with Troy a bit too. 

I am going to have a lot of fun watching the NCD Wellness company take over all the ‘NCD’ search terms in Google.

We are exposed to a myriad of toxins in our day to day life. [...Continue reading Zetox- New Health Supplement Launching Soon]]]> Zetox- New Zeolite Detoxification Product Coming Soon

Regal Supplements has announced that they will be releasing a new health supplement soon. This supplement has been designed to address the growing concern of heavy metal and chemical pollution in our environment.

We are exposed to a myriad of toxins in our day to day life. There are approximately 700 new chemicals produced every year, and they find their way into out food, water and even the air we breathe. (source) Although our body is designed to filter out toxins, we have not evolved to handle the amount of toxins we are exposed to on a daily basis. 

Many supplements and diets have hit the market in past years to address this problem of internal pollution. Often they are targeted treatments aimed at clean out the digestive system. Zetox, according to the formulator, has been designed to get right into the bloodstream and attract heavy metals and foreign chemicals that have found their way into the body’s cells. 

Zetox has a special ingredient in it called zeolite. Zeolite is a mineral formed from volcanic ash, and has a negative charge. This charge allows it to attract positively charged ion, which happen to include heavy metals like mercury, lead and cadmium. So when you take Zetox, it attracts these heavy metals and transports them safely out of the body. 

Another bonus of Zetox is that it has no side effects, unlike chelation drugs, or other body cellular detoxification products. 

Zetox will be ready for sale in January 2012. For more information, visit www.Zetox.biz

Why zeolite? Did you know that there have been some 50,000 man made chemicals introduced into our world in the last century? Our bodies, while designed to protect us and remove toxins, was never designed for the burden we are faced with today. The heavy metals in our environent would really shock you if you knew the extent. Chelation has become a worldwide neccesity.

Think about the lead in gasoline and paint in the 50′s, 60′s and 70′s… even into the 80′s. many older homes still have lead paint and lead plumbing. What about arsenic? Did you know that arsenic can be found in pressure treated lumber? There is mercury, not just in the fillings in your mouth and your tuna and salmon, but also in those power saver lightbulbs. In the 1950′s and 60′s exposure to cadmium in the work place was high. As we became aware of the dangers, exposure lessened but it is till a risk. Silver solder has cadmium. In Japan, environmental cadmium has accumulated due to industrial run off contaminating rice paddies, and then the rice being consumed by people. 

There are thousands and thousands of such examples and all these metals eventually find their way into people and animals, and all living things. Heavy metal chelation in the general population has never been so important for the health of a species as it is right now.

Safe Chelation With Zeolite

All of us have a level of heavy metal exposure. If you have heavy metals causing health issues, there are very few natural chelation solutions, and none that can touch the power of zeolite.

Zeolite is a possible answer. Because of the zeolite molecule’s unique ability to selectively attract, adsorb and remove from the body only heavy metals, and leave the beneficial minerals behind, it is safer than traditional chelation type drugs. 

Let’s talk about heavy metal chelation for a moment. Typically, EDTA or DMPS chelation drugs need to be administered by intravenous therapy. This means you need to be in an outpatient setting… a clinic or office somewhere. You need to be hooked up to an I.V. and the drug needs to drip into your arm over a period of time while you are observed by a medical professional. It is expensive, and there are side effects. Traditional chelation agents like EDTA are not 100% effective either. What happens is that, as the heavy metals get lower, the chelating agent begins to remove the ions that you need for health… iron, magnesium or calcium, or other ions that you need for health, and they need to be replaced in greater amounts as your heavy metal burden lessens.

Zeolite will cause the chelation of heavy metals but leaves your good ions alone. Zeolite is also very easy to take compared to the chelation drugs like EDTA. You simply take a scoop, mix it with water, or juice, and drink it. If you don’t like the fuss of the powder then capsules are a fantastic alternative. 

It is relatively inexpensive as well. You can get a tub of the micronized zeolite powder for $60 or so USD and it has approximately 90 servings in it. Even if you take 3 servings a day you still get an entire month’s worth for sixty dollars. 

Chelation with zeolite is safe as there are no real side effects. You will lose some water as you lose the toxins, but this is easily remedies by drinking a couple of extra glasses of pure water. 

I know that each one of us has at least some exposure to heavy metals, and for most of us the exposure is likely much greater than we know. I take zeolite every day as my chelating agent of choice.

Chelation With Zeolite Makes Sense

S. Penney is a retired registered nurse with a continued, insatiable thirst for health and wellness information. Although Shelley hails from traditional medical training, she is always searching for ways in which the natural world of healing herbs, foods and supplements can intersect with traditional medicine and benefit us all. She has spent the last few years learning about  zeolite for detox, and providing zeolite information to help people educate themselves on this subject.

Zeolite is a type of rock that is formed in crystals. It is formed in nature when a volcano erupts and the hot lava and volcanic ash hits sea water. When this happens, the lava and ash are cooled very quickly and harden. The rock-like structure that forms is called a zeolite and it forms with a very unique property. Zeolites are one of the very rare negatively charged particles. It also forms with many channels and caves, very similar to a honeycomb. 

There are also synthetic zeolites. These are zeolite structures that scientists make in the lab that have the same characteristics as natural zeolites. According to Wikipedia on zeolite "as of November 2010, 194 unique zeolite frameworks have been identified, and over 40 natural zeolite frameworks are known."

Shelley Penney talks about zeolite as an important agent for detox, chelation, and overall health. It removes heavy metals and toxins safely and effectively. But can you trust the zeolite products that are on the market? Shelley Penney says that some zeolite products are harmful, some zeolite liquids don’t have the amount of zeolite in them that they say, and some zeolite powder products aren’t processed properly.

 Uses for Zeolite 

Zeolite has been used in detergents, and this market is ever expanding as zeolites will not impact the environment in the same way that phosphates do.

Because of their ability to sop up heavy metals, zeolites have been used to help clean up radioactive spills. Zeolites trap radioactive heavy metal particles.

Zeolites have been used in kitty litter because they absorb ammonia and odors so well, and they have been added to livestock feed because they trap aflatoxins that can cause illness.

Zeolites have also been used in pool and air filtration, and in municipal waste water treatment centers.

Source: Benefits of Zeolite 

Zeolite in nutritional supplements:

Recently there has been huge interest in zeolite for health. Most commonly, a type called clinoptilolite. Clinoptilolite, like all zeolites, has a slight negative charge, while heavy metals and many toxins have a positive charge. This allows the zeolite to attract the heavy metals and bond to them. 

The second characteristic of the clinoptilolite is that it has chambers within the structure. When the particle attracts heavy metals it draws them deep into the cage-like structure and holds on tight. 

In this way, zeolite is ideal to take with a chelation agent, or as a replacement for traditional drug chelating agents like DMS. Clinoptilolite removes heavy metals, and because of the property that allows it to draw the metals deep within the cage, it does not liberate the heavy metals into the bloodstream where they can attach somewhere else in the body and cause further health issues.

Nutritional Scam – Hurts Everybody

click here for more

In any industry there are good and bad companies, products and people. We live in an imperfect world. So although it stings at the time, no one is REALLY surprised when a scam or two shows up.

In the area of nutritional supplements there is a wide window of opportunity for people to create products and market them. Nutritional supplements are not regulated in the same way that medicines are. Personally I think that is a good thing most of the time. I don’t want the government to tell me that I can’t take my vitamin C! But we all know that if you leave a window open, a thief will take the opportunity to sneak in! That’s when a scam is born.

That is why I applaud the actions of Mike Adams, Editor and reporter over at NaturalNews.com Over this past week Mike was asked so many times about the company Adya Clarity, and whether it was a scam, that he decided to look into them. What he saw was a huge fraud involving the ingredients of the products and what was listed on the label. That led to a string of questions, and an investigation being launched. What has been uncovered makes the incorrect label look like a micronized rock next to the mountain it was mined from! 

That story got me to thinking… how many people feel that they may have been a victim of a scam, and simply don’t know what to do, or who to ask to look into it. So thanks to Mike Adams, and borrowing some of his article for reference, and adding some thoughts and resources of my own, I hope you will be better armed, if ever you feel that you might have been a victim of a nutritional supplement scam.

Nutritional Scam – What If You Are Selling It?

I can’t tell you what to do, should you find yourself in a position to seriously question a product you are selling may be a scam. Why don’t I show you what Mike Adams did, as I report in this article? 

It would have been in my financial interests to say nothing. Instead, I stepped forward immediately and began to ask the important questions about the safety of this product.

Even as I was doing what was right, other Adya distributors circled the wagons to protect their profits rather than protecting customers. Many distributors continued to sell the product from their own stores, or even offer "2 for 1" specials to try to clear out inventory as quickly as possible. A very small number of other distributors of Adya or "black mica extract" have now taken the product off their stores while they attempt to gather more information.  ~Mike Adams

Those are powerful ACTIONS. Everyone knows Mike Adams is a pillar of integrity, not just in the natural health community, but people around the world can read about him, and his works and see that he fights tirelessly for what is right. In my quietest moments I aspire to live up to the example people like Mike Adams set. 

Still, even for a man of his stature, popularity and esteem, there were people who tried to diminish his reputation. See what he says about that.

That Adya promoters would attempt to attack myself and NaturalNews by falsely claiming that we promoted the product is yet another example of the dirty, slimy tactics to which this group will resort when they are cornered by the truth.

Facts are stubborn things, however, and as the facts continue to emerge surrounding this product — its fraudulent marketing, its deceptive labeling, its outrageous profit margins and much more — it will become abundantly clear to the entire natural products community that Adya Clarity was a grand deception which hoodwinked many well-meaning people into selling a deceptively-labeled product that can only be called a fraud. ~Mike Adams

One thing I love about Mike. He sure doesn’t sugar coat anything. I only wish I had his courage! I only wish that the world were filled with more people like Mike Adams! He is one of America’s National Treasures as far as I am concerned!

Nutritional Supplement Scam

What to do if you think you have been "taken" by a scam

There are a number of resources that you can tap into that are designed to protect the consumer from a scam.

Again first allow me to quote Mike Adams, and then I will add some of my own. 

 

Action items…

Do you live in Canada? Call Health Canada (Canadian version of the USA’s FDA …..

Here are the exact phone numbers and emails:

http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/dhp-mps/comp…

(You have to scroll down the page to see the numbers.)

If you live in the United States, you may wish to contact the FTC (for the fraudulent marketing) or the FDA (for the outrageous health claims) about this product:

Here is the FTC Complaint Assistant:

https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_W…

Here are the FDA Consumer Complaint coordinators, state by state:

http://www.fda.gov/safety/reportapr…

Now I have some other ideas about who you can contact in the event of a suspected nutritional scam. 

• Contact: Mike Adams  -As you can see from the Adya Clarity scam story Mike is a tireless advocate for the people. If he hears from enough people he will investigate.
• Contact The Attorney General (if you live in US) in your state. If you can determine the location of the company main offices, contact the attorney general in that state as well. Visit here to see a list of all of the States A.G. s
• Look online for consumer watchdogs, and contact them. There are a number of people and agencies out there who will advocate for individuals and victims of a scam either by reporting on the event (if enough people call) or by sharing who you may be able to contact that could help. There are also tv programs like 60 minutes that investigate stories. 
• Contact the BBB – While the BBB is unlikely to be able to help you directly in event of a scam, they will often post complaints on their website for others to see.
• Contact an Attorney- If you feel that you have been harmed by the scam you can often get a free 1 hour consultation. It might be worth exploring whether you have enough evidence to launch a class action lawsuit. 
• Contact the local police- Was the scam a criminal operation? Your local law enforcement agency can help you determine that. 

The bottom line is, when you are faced with the dishonesty of other people, and people are getting hurt by drinking water that doesn’t have full disclosure on the label, as in The Adya Clarity case, or people are losing money… think Bernie Madoff scam.

It seems that a rogue Waiora distributor has decided to create a website using a previous version of my ebook to try to "correct" the liquid zeolite book. 

Shelley Penney The Liquid Zeolite Book Corrected]]]> Shelley Penney and The Liquid Zeolite Book- A Different Opinion

It seems that a rogue Waiora distributor has decided to create a website using a previous version of my ebook to try to "correct" the liquid zeolite book. 

I will mostly ignore it. Most people will be able to read it and see the truth,  however,  I do wish to address some of his points. 

First, you should know I have never met this guy. He makes money selling Waiora’s water and zeolite product called NAtural Cellular Defense, and that is the sole reason for his words against me. 

Allow me to address a few of his "concerns". 

Although we DO NOT intend to disparage Shelley Penney in any way, we strongly feel she has chosen poorly in her new zeolite provider and is promoting her product using erroneous information which only serves to confuse consumers and further damages the health of people who could greatly benefit from systemic detoxification.

Erroneous means wrong. I have produced 3 separate tests that prove that the bottles tested had nearly no zeolite in them, and certainly not the amount claimed on the label. See "Liquid Zeolite- Why I No Longer Promote It by Shelley Penney" Tim at Mineralogy lab says nobody has called him to verify the tests. So not only is the test not ‘erroneous’ but people are calling it erroneous without checking.

Shelley Penney researched zeolites and originally determined that NCD by Waiora was the very best available. She wrote "The Liquid Zeolite Book" and used it as an online education and marketing tool for her Waiora business. There is some really good basic information in her online book and for years she explained to consumers why Waiora’s NCD was the correct zeolite choice to help solve many health challenges.

Recently Shelley Penney became dissatisfied with her Waiora business and decided to switch the brand of zeolite she markets to a non-MLM company that pays her using an AFFILIATE compensation plan. That type of compensation plan pays online retailers like Shelley Penney much better than MLM compensation plans and is undoubtedly a much more lucrative business model for her.

I was actually very satisfied with my Waiora business. Until I saw the results of this test…until I found out that the product we were selling was tested and showed there was next to ZERO active ingredient in the product. ETHICAL people tend to become dissatisfied when they find out something like that. If you want to continue to take money from sick people so you can ‘live the dream’ then that is your choice, but you really shouldn’t put me down for NOT wanting to.

Liquid Zeolite Tests

Allow me once again to recap-

1. Zeohealth test found 2300 mg of solids in 10 bottles of mlm brand liquid zeolite for a total of 230 mg in each bottle. (only 60% of that was clinoptilolite by the way).
2. ZeoActive8 (An Australian company) found 300mg in 4 bottles MLM brand liquid zeolite for a total of 75mg each bottle.
3. Shelley Penney test found 27mg  of solids in a bottle. We didn’t even bother to ask for an analysis of the solids because it was such a teeny amount)

Here is the label from the bottle

I tried for 6 months to get an answer to a simple question. When no answers are forthcoming to the question… "Mr Company owner, and Mr. science guy, why does the test done on this bottle show 27 mg of zeolite were in there when there ought to have been 2400?"

Yes after something like 70 email communications, or more, between parties and still no answers, one tends to get DISSATISFIED. 

Unfortunately Shelley Penney is trying to use her online zeolite presence to switch consumers to her new product by presenting erroneous information.

She is attempting to convince consumers that her previous "well researched" zeolite, NCD, is now inferior to her "new" zeolite product and that Waiora is not an honest company.

It is. 5000 mg is superior to 27 mg. I don’t need to convince anyone of that. Nor do I try to.  I have succeeded in showing consumers that the "new" zeolite powder product  has 5000 mg of zeolite PER DOSE, and that a bottle of Original Liquid Zeolite that claimed to have 24 mg PER DOSE in actual fact had 27 mg in an entire bottle, as reported by an independent lab.

Wherever there is great success, there will always be people who want to piggyback onto that success and many of them will do so unscrupulously.. 

Unscrupulous is when you know the product you are selling to cancer patients and parents of autistic children is mostly water.

The phenomenal success of NCD has spawned "competition" from dozens of individuals and companies who know little to nothing about health supplements or systemic detoxification using clinoptilolite. These "competitors" have no scientist of the caliber of Rik Dietsch to develop cutting edge nutritional products so all they can do is borrow our science and our testimonials and claim them as their own. The world of health supplements is largely unregulated with the exception of the FDA not allowing claims of disease prevention or cure.

May I remind you that Waiora is actually the spawn (great word by the way) of Zeo Health? Zeohealth was formed in 1999. Please visit the website to learn that they were the first company in the United States to offer zeolite supplementation. Micah Portney knows an incredible amount about zeolite, like how to put it in a liquid that won’t "clump". He also knows how to clean the zeolite properly so it doesn’t have an "odor" and which is the cleanest and purest kind of zeolite, that won’t turn all "brown" in solution. It seems that a scientist of such calibre could be taking a note or two, wouldn’t you agree?

Competitors are borrowing your science? Waiora doesn’t have any science. For 6 years now they have been claiming they have clinical trials but they have NEVER been seen by human eyeballs. 

Here are some excerpts from the liquid zeolite.org site, one that the resident esteemed scientist regularly sends Waiora distributors to learn the benefits of original liquid zeolite. 

Micah Portney on his Zeohealth website (www.zeohealth.com) makes the claim that he has laboratory proof that the label on NCD lists much more clinoptilolite than is in the bottle and he cites a 3rd party lab document from www.theminerallab.com that purports to be a test of NCD showing this discrepancy. I have closely examined this document as well as his laboratory’s website and placed a call to that lab which, to date, has not been returned.

Actually Micah doesn’t "make the claim", he shows the test. Your company makes claims. See the difference? How closely did you examine the document on this page?

Did you examine the Original Liquid Zeolite test closely enough to see that the sample also had heavy metals found it it? Or what about the fact that the test showed that the solids were only 67% clinoptilolite and not 100% pure like has always been claimed? 

It appears that The Mineral Lab consists of two people and a dog and is in a residential structure. That doesn’t mean they can’t do proper testing, but to me it doesn’t inspire confidence in them or their testing regimen and results. 

Of course, the website shows that they own a dog. I don’t trust anyone who has a dog. Really, they have a dog, so I can’t possibly be sure that they know how to run a test on a zeolite sample. Maybe they even had the dog do the test. 

Their testing technique involved dehydrating the clinoptilolite and then weighing the residue.

It did? You called them and they haven’t returned your call. (maybe they googled you first). If they didn’t return your call, how do you know that they dehydrated it and weighed the residue? 

According to Rik Dietsch, that is an improper testing regimen because you are removing the water elements from the clinoptilolite which are part and parcel of that mineral. You will also lose a very appreciable amount of the micronized clinoptilolite in the evaporate. NCD clinoptilolite is so finely micronized that like many fine dusts, it literally floats on air and much of it will be removed when the product is evaporated. It is well known that water vapor will carry molecules and particles from the liquid it is evaporated from. This is why vodka is triple distilled and why the purest distilled water has been distilled many times in a row to remove the maximum amount of minerals and contaminants.

Now we’re getting somewhere ("vodka" she sighed longingly!) 

Rik Deitsch on Monday April 11th, 2011 "The slurry making NCD is measured to provide 2.3-3g of total solids per bottle. The great majority of that is the zeolite."

Shelley Penney on Thursday July 7th "Let me ask you… if you knew that the label appeared to be incorrect and you had a customer base, and newsletter readership that believed and trusted your information, and were making life or death decisions based on the product with the incorrect label, how long would you wait for an answer from Rik before you let your customers and readership know?" 

Rik Deitsch on Monday July 18th "  All zeolites are hygroscopic – meaning that they suck up and retain water. By definition, zeolites contain water and usually designate so in their formulation (containing .H2O)"

(awesome, we have that information to do the test properly. My partner called Rik and he shared exact instructions on how to test.)

Rik Deitsch on Friday September 16th  "Understand that clinoptilolite is highly hygroscopic – which means that it readily absorbs water from the air. In fact, clinoptilolite zeolite is always described as “hydrated clinoptilolite” because the assumption is that it contains water intrinsic to the zeolite itself. In production, we create a zeolite “cake” after the activation process and filtration. That cake is weighed and then added to water to create a slurry (thick liquid) before bottling. The weight of the slurry is the hydrated clinoptilolite that is bottled and is the measurement utilized in the product labeling. When labs try to determine the solids by complete drying and gravimetric analysis, they are removing the intrinsic water and thereby reducing the weight of the hydrated clinoptilolite."

April 11th, before our test Rick said the slurry is measured to provide 2.3 – 3 GRAMS of TOTAL SOLIDS

September 16th, AFTER the very dismal test results, he admits that he adds water to it, and measures the zeolite AND water before putting 24 mg of zeolite per dose on the label. (now I am pretty certain that GMP guidelines require you to measure the raw ingredient for a label)   He then says they remove intrinsic water when labs try to determine solids by completely drying. What do you think 2.3 to 3 GRAMS of solids means? How much water would one need to remove to turn that into 27 MILLIGRAMS. Am I the only person that knows what "intrinsic" means? It’s late. I’m tired of Google-ing. I trust you know how to do that anyway. 

Pass the vodka please. 

Shelley Penney cites Micah Portney’s flawed laboratory analysis on what he says is NCD and she then cites an Australian zeolite company "lab test" from an "unidentified" lab, again on a product they insinuate is NCD, which was performed in the same manner as Micah Portney’s flawed testing regimen and also claims a label discrepancy in the amount of clinoptilolite in what is supposedly NCD.

You still haven’t shown how it is flawed. They didn’t return your call remember?

Unfortunately Shelley Penney steps further into the mud and claims she had an "unidentified" lab do the same test with the same evaporative technique and got results proving less clinoptilolite in the NCD bottle than the label states. 

Unidentified? A reputable lab in Tulsa Oklahoma, complete with company logo, website, physical address, telephone number, fax, email address and signature.  

Unidentified means, (I am making an assumption here… correct me if I am wrong) that you didn’t call them because you somehow missed the "identified" part. so if that is the case, how do you know what technique he used to do this test? 

And does he know you are saying, on the internet, that he did it wrong? 

Here is the Original Liquid Zeolite Lab Test in case someone missed it. 

For the record, I haven’t insinuated that this test belongs to anyone, and I blurred the name out. It was Stan, and John and Rik who announced to the company on a public recorded call that this test was done on a bottle of their product. So you can stop saying I have insinuated… I showed the test with their company name blurred out, and they held a 45 minute public conference call and announced it was theirs to the entire company. Regardless of whether you believe this is a test done on your product, clearly the company owner does… hence the need for a call. 

 It is a shame that Shelley Penney doesn’t understand clinoptilolite testing techniques but after all, she is a retired nurse and not a scientist. 

 

I don’t need to understand clinoptilolite testing techniques. The tests were done by qualified labs who specialize in this kind of thing. The fact that I am a registered nurse and not a scientist does not affect the test done by a scientist.

Now for the truth: every batch of NCD carries a certificate of analysis from the manufacturer that states the concentration of the micronized and activated clinoptilolite in that batch.

So they have said. But the company saying they have a certificate doesn’t mean they have it. Because despite begging to see it, it has not been produced.

Rik Dietsch also does his analysis of each batch to ensure the concentration is proper. 

Rik Deitsch also says there is a patent on his activation process (not true), and promoted an autism study that was never registered with the FDA as claimed. Unless someone can show me that what Rik Deitsch says is true… it isn’t.

This won’t stop the insinuations from unscrupulous companies who are trying to make money any way they can, by hook or by crook, and the fact that they only insinuate the product they had tested was NCD is very telling.

Actually that fact that they blur they name out IS very telling. It keeps the test on the internet, and the company lays claim to it themselves. I would definitely call that "telling". (I think we just agreed on something)

What is actually important is that our product performs exactly as Rik Dietsch and Waiora promise — NCD will safely and effectively remove environmental toxins, heavy metals, VOCs and carcinogens at the cellular level. We not only have the science to back up that claim but we have thousands of testimonials from distributors and customers who are now enjoying better health. NCD works!

Actually you don’t have the science… Rik’s wife’s cousin has it, I hear.  But what is actually important to people who have cancer and autism is that the product they buy has in it what the label says.

The health benefit magic is in the Generation-3 processing of the zeolite and only Rik Dietsch knows that process and NCD is the only clinoptilolite zeolite health supplement produced using it.

Yes I understand it is SOOO top secret that the new manufacturer doesn’t even have it! Which I think he should, since he has already sent out at least one batch of clumpy, chalky, stinky product (according to this call) 

Seriously… Instead of trying to diminish the credibility of Shelley Penney, why don’t you call the lab? Even if I was the most horrible person on the earth, that wouldn’t put any more zeolite into the bottle that was tested.

When some people think about starting a detox diet they think of lemon juice and maple syrup, while others think of freshly made green juices, and still others conjure up an image of apple cider vinegar and olive oil. Some people have no idea what a detox diet is.

There are many reasons to consider detox diets regularly. We take in toxins in our foods, beverages and even the air we breathe. There are often toxins in the creams and cosmetics we put on our skin, the soaps and shampoos we wash with and many of the articles, such as aluminum cookware, that we use for our activities of daily living. Most of these toxins have only even been around for 100 years or better.

While it is true that our bodies are genetically engineered to detoxify our system, evolution hasn’t caught up with any of the man made chemicals that are present in our environments. We are exposed to more toxins than at any other time in the history of man.

To most of us, it seems logical that we would consider a detoxification diet to help clean accumulated toxins in the digestive tract, clean the cells of the liver and kidneys to help them be more efficient since these organs are essential for the normal elimination of toxins, and help the body eliminate heavy metals, many of which grab on to tissues in the body and never make it to the kidney, liver or intestine for elimination.

There are many benefits to a detox diet. It can help people lose weight, enjoy clearer more supple skin, relieve ‘brain fog’, and strengthen the immune system. Many detox diets will also balance the pH to a more favorable, slightly alkaline state.

The Best Detox Diet

Finding the right detox diet for you is not that hard if you know exactly what you are trying to accomplish. If you have no idea where to start, look for a naturopath or homeopath in your local community. These health professionals are familiar with what is healthy and available, and are trained to read your body’s signs and advise you on the detox diet that will suit your body’s particular needs.

There are detox diets that address liver, kidney, blood, digestive tract, skin and hair, parasites or a combination of those things. Some detox diets even address all of those concerns, but I will caution you that not all will, so again, if you aren’t sure then consult with a wellness professional.

How Often to Detox

Once you have completed your first detox diet the next question is often, "How often should I do this"? The answer is very specific for you, but generally speaking, if you are healthy, once or twice a year seems to be a good rule of thumb. Sometimes your health professional will recommend that you start with your intestine, then clean the liver, kidneys and gall bladder, then the blood, and finally heavy metals or any combination of those. Still people who do a multiple system cleanse will only repeat it once or twice a year.

Spirulina and Chlorella – Super Foods

www.theliquidzeolitebook.com/spirulina-and-chlorella

Recently I have been turned on to the benefits of these two particular green superfoods…spirulina and chlorella. OK so I know some of you are out there going, "Wow what took you so long?" and some of you are going , "Spira-what?". That’s the way it is with any kind of discovery really. It takes a few pioneers to be ‘guinea pigs’  test subjects before some of us are brave enough to try it.

I will tell you right now, my mother turns her nose up at my delicious green smoothies… I have not even talked to her about SPIRULINA yet!  Algae!!

You heard right. ALGAE! One less delicate observer called it pond scum spirulina and chlorella, but I am a trooper… I tried it anyway!

What are the benefits of Spirulina and Chlorella? 

According to Mike Adams in his ebook Chlorella Factor, spirulina contains 12 times more the amount of digestible protein than the same weight of beef, a phytochemical in chlorella can repair nerve damage, and both have been found to reverse cancers. That’s pretty heady stuff from a nutritional standpoint. 

What are Spirulina and Chlorella?

Spirulina and Chlorella are classified as algae. They are the two most common commercially grown and harvested algae for health and nutritional supplements. They are classified by color…spirulina is one of the blue-green algae while chlorella is on of the green algae. Both spirulina and chlorella are rich with trace minerals, vitamins, anti-oxidants and phytochemical compounds. They are an abundant source of easily digestible plant protein, and have rich deep pigments.

Both have recently been labelled as ‘super foods’ by the fringe health and nutrition industry, and they are slowly coming more mainstream and more people experience benefits.

Spirulina has been dubbed "Natures Most Perfect Food", and is widely used in greens type powder supplements. It apparently aids in weight loss, helps balance pH, can help reduce fasting blood sugar in diabetics, and inhibit viruses. Spirulina also contains omega 3 fatty acids and some people use it as a protein source.

• helps detox the liver
• is rich with anti-oxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties
• has a positive effect on blood pressure
• helps reduce tumor size

Chlorella is considered "Natures Detoxifier" due to the ability of this plant to chelate heavy metals and toxins. The detoxification is a result of extremely high levels of chlorophyll, but also as a result of the cell wall. The cell wall is apparently constructed of material that binds heavy metals and toxins. 

From a health perspective, I am always looking for ways I can boost the nutritional value of my diet. I understand that as our soil is depleted of vitamins and minerals, so are the foods we harvest, so I think today, more than ever before, it is important to fortify our diets with super foods that provide superior nutrition to our body. I think spirulina and chlorella certainly fit that bill.
