Most of you have heard of the connection between aluminum and
Alzheimer's Disease (AD). If not,
let me quote from THE ENCYCLOPEIDA OF NATURAL MEDICINE, by Doctors
Joseph Pizzorno & Michael Murray:
"Those with Alzheimer's Disease have
significantly higher aluminum levels
in their brains than either normal
people or patients with other types
of dementia, such as from alcohol,
atherosclerosis, or stroke. There is
a great deal of circumstantial
evidence linking chronic aluminum
exposure to AD."
Or this passage from John Heinerman's ENCCLOPEDIA OF FRUITS &
VEGETABLES: "A growing body of medical evidence links aluminum with
this horribly progressive destruction of the brain (AD) which
causes severe memory loss, extreme
personality changes, and the inability to care for one's self."
Scientists still aren't sure whether
the aluminum concentrations in the
brains of AD victims are responses
to the disease, or, in fact, initiate the disease. But until that
final determination is made, I urge
the wise among you to eliminate
aluminum from your kitchen and
pantry.
And this isn't an easy task. Why?
Because a surprising number of food
and bathroom products contain
significant amounts of aluminum.
Not to mention the waer coming out
of your tap.
I'm going to tell you some products
which contain aluminum. But first,
let's start with the obvious suspects.
About four years ago, I threw away
all my aluminum and Teflon cookware.
That included a kettle for boiling
water, several pots and pans, my
beloved popcorn popper, and the tray
in my toaster oven. I also threw out
the aluminum foil. There are alternatives: among them, ceramic
teapots for heating water, and, of
course, high quality stainless steel.
Here's John Heinerman again: "Your
chances of getting AD later in life
can be drastically reduced by not
using aluminum pots and pans, not
cooking acidic vegetables like tomatoes or cabbage in fluoridated
tap water in any aluminum cookware."
I'll come back to the tap water.
But first, here's a list of food and
bathroom products that contain aluminum. I verified all these by
reading labels at my local supermarket.
1) Baking powder -- contains aluminum phosphate. According to John Heinerman, "Regular commerical
baking powder may contain 7 to 11
percent pure aluminum."
2) Corn Meal Mix -- the first bag I
picked up contained an aluminum compound.
3) Deodorants & Anti-Perspirants --
The first three I picked up contained 19 percent aluminum
zirconium.
4) Self-Rising Flour -- contains
sodium aluminum phosphate.
5) Acne Creme -- aluminum silicate.
6) Cake Mixes -- some of them contain sodium aluminum phosphate.
Additionally, John Heinerman says
aluminum can be found in baby food,
processed cheese, buffered aspirin,
antacids, non-dairy creamers, table salt , and hemmorrhoid preparations.
I hope some of you CureZone Forum
regulars will check out those products, and give us feedback.
Back to the tap water: A quote from
Dr. Pizzorno: "The most significant
source of aluminu is probably drinking water, as the aluminum in
water is a more bioavailable and
thus potentially toxic form...The
frightening news is that aluminum
in water not only occurs naturally,
but is is also added in the form of
alum to some water supplies."
I'm sure that very few of you drink
tap water. But don't cook with it,
either. Buy distilled water. Better
yet, get yourself a small distiller and distill your own water. I've
had a Waterwise 9000 distiller for
5 years, and I love it!
Perhaps someday aluminum will be
pronounced innocent as a cause of
Alzheimer's Disease. More likely,
research scientists will find the
smoking gun that connects aluminum
to AD. Either way, a prudent person
needs to be on guard. READ LABELS
CAREFULLY! If it goes IN or ON your
body, read the label!
Alzheimer's Disease is an unmitigated horror. If something in
this long post resonates with you,
I hope you'll trust your intuition
and act on it.
Final thought: If you'd like to
flush out the aluminum that is already in your body, read my post
on the Amalgam Forum entitled,
Heavy Metals Begone! Eat Cilantro
Every Day.
I wish you all long life and radiant
health.
Blessings,
Owen
