GUIDELINES FOR USING NATURAL CELLULAR DEFENSE

The following guidelines are not intended as a substitute for medical advice. Please consult your physician for guidance about a specific health problem or if you have questions about using the heavy metal detoxifier Natural Cellular Defense while taking medication or undergoing medical treatment.

Drink Plenty of Water

You will need to drink more water than usual when taking the liquid zeolite product known as Natural Cellular Defense (NCD). The heavy metals that NCD removes carries a positive charge which allows your body to hold more water. As these toxins are eliminated through sweat, mucus, urine, and feces, water will be eliminated with them.

How much water should you drink each day?

As a general rule, drink ½ ounce for each pound of body weight. For example, a 140-pound woman should drink about 70 ounces of water daily. Although the directions on the bottle suggest placing NCD directly on the tongue, many users prefer to place the drops in an 8-ounce glass of water so as to help ensure sufficient hydration. If you are on a diuretic and want to take NCD, start with a very low dose of NCD and drink extra water. If you live in a dry climate where dehydration is an issue, drink even more water than usual.

Recommended Dosages

The activated liquid zeolite found in NCD stays active in the body for five to seven hours. To have NCD continuously circulating in your body, you would need to take a dose approximately every six hours. NCD is not toxic at higher levels and has GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status from the FDA. However, it is important to be aware of proper dosing, because taking more than 15 drops at a time can trigger a healing crisis with significant detoxification symptoms.

Maintenance dose: 3 drops 3 times/day. A bottle of NCD will last approximately a month.

Detoxification dose: 10 drops 3 times/day for four to six weeks. A bottle of NCD will last approximately 10 days. Unless you have a severe health problem, this is the initial dosage that most of our adult clients take. After four to six weeks, start taking a maintenance dose of 3 to 5 drops 3 times/day, increasing the amount if ever there is a viral, chemical, or other exposure.

For severe health challenges: 15 drops 3 to 4 times/day. A bottle of NCD will last approximately a week. Many users have found adding a fourth dose at bedtime to be helpful.

For children: 2 or 3 drops 3 times/day, depending on body weight and health. A good detoxification dose for a 50-pound child is 3 drops 3 times/day, again this recommendation is relevant to age and size. (For example, my two year old son receives one drop 3 times/day and this dose has worked out very well.) Use less as a maintenance dose.

For animals: 2 or 3 drops daily on food. Your animals will want to drink more, so make sure to have plenty of fresh water available for them.

Other Uses

Topical: Many people have reported that liquid zeolite is effective in treating skin problems such as irritations, rashes, warts, insect bites, and lumps on or under the skin. To use it topically, place a drop of NCD on the affected area 3 or 4 x/day and cover with a band-aid to keep the skin moist. For larger areas, dilute NCD with pure water and apply using a spray bottle. Users have also reported relief of discomfort by massaging NCD into areas of soreness. Anecdotal reports suggest that adding a few drops of NCD to skin lotion and other topical products appears to enhance their effectiveness.

Eyes: There is anecdotal evidence that NCD helps with problems such as styes. A drop or two can be placed on the eye or eyelid, or diluted with pure water and sprayed on. When applied to the eye, NCD may sting at first.

Ears: Some parents have found NCD useful in relieving children’s earache symptoms. One or more drops can be placed directly into the ear.

Teeth and gums: Users have reported relief of gum and tooth discomfort (including the discomfort of teething in babies) by putting drops of NCD onto the gums in the affected area.

Contraindications

NCD is contraindicated for anyone taking a medication containing heavy metals (such as lithium) or platinum (which is found in some cancer medications). NCD may remove from the body supplemental lithium and the chemotherapy agents cisplatin and carboplatin, both of which contain platinum. It appears to be safe to begin or resume taking NCD three days after using cisplatin and carboplatin, and two days after using other chemotherapies. If you wish to use NCD while taking lithium, consult your physician. If you are an insulin-dependent diabetic, be aware that NCD may lower your need for insulin.

Detoxification Symptoms

Some users experience detoxification symptoms, such as headache, diarrhea, tiredness, or overall achiness. After initial detoxification which lasts about one week, most people report feeling better than ever. If you experience detoxification symptoms which are uncomfortable, you should discontinue using NCD until the symptoms pass, and then resume taking it at a lower dose, gradually increasing the number of drops until you reach the dosage you want to take.

While some people report that they have greatly increased energy when they begin to take NCD, others feel tired while detoxifying. If you do feel tired, take naps if possible or go to bed earlier. If that is not possible, you should decrease your dosage. The body does deep healing during sleep, so be sure to get at least eight hours of sleep whenever possible.

Heavy Metal Affinities

As a detoxifier, NCD has a hierarchy of affinities. It attracts mercury, lead, cadmium, and arsenic first, and then eliminates other toxins from the body once heavy metals have been cleared out. (NCD does have a minor affinity for calcium and magnesium, but there is no evidence of major loss due to that that affinity, no doubt due to the nutritional enhancement gained by taking NCD. Studies show that no additional supplementaiton is required.)
If your body is burdened with a heavy toxic load, a fair amount of these toxins may need to be removed before you notice a shift in how you feel. Pay attention to small changes.

Once the zeolite in NCD absorbs a toxin, that toxin will not go back into your body tissues because it is fully excreted without any damage or stress to the kidneys. Many people have found that detoxifying with NCD is much easier than it is with other common detoxification methods.
