FW: OT: Boyd Haley's response re: NCD (aka zeolite)

[Guest guest]

I know this issue of the zeolite has been discussed lately, so I thought

I should pass this along from another list (with permission to pass on).

This is a message from Boyd Haley, the expert on mercury, who has done

so much research in helping our kiddos.

I thought I would share this information with you. A week ago I

received two vials of NCD, or zeolite from two suspicious mothers

who

thought it might contain mercury. We have tested it. The good news

is

that it does not contain any detectable mercury.

The bad news is that it does not significantly remove mercury from

an

aqueous solution. This was tested by centrifuging down the zeloite

and

adding to it a 1 ppm mercury solution, re-suspending the zeloite and

letting it set for several minutes, centrifuging it back down and

re-testing the mercury content of the water. It did not decrease

which

it

should have if the zeolite material bound Hg2+ tightly. Therefore,

if

zeolite is having a positive effect it is not by removing mercury

from

the

body.

Additiionally, it seems very unlikely that a water insoluble

material

would

have any direct effect on removing mercury from cells, mitochondria

or

the

brain. How would it cross the intestinal wall, enter cells and

mitochondria and do this? It would be good to read the data

referred

to in

a recent email I received that stated " Further, since other animal

and

human studies with zeolite have demonstrated the ability for zeolite

to

remove heavy metals, a portion of the participants will receive a

series of

urine excretion tests designed to detect levels of heavy metal

excretion. "

How exactly will a non-water soluble material like zeolite cause

urinary

mercury excretion as shown in previous studies? If the negative

charges on

the insoluble zeolite really did bind mercury it should take it out

via

the

fecal route. I would like to see the data from these studies and

find

out

where it was published.

I am not suggesting other not do this study, but this looks very

much

like

many previous " miracle mercury cures " that just takes a lot of money

from

the unsuspecting parents who are looking for any help for their

child---I

have seen several of these----and they all had studies showing how

well

they worked, but this data was never published in a decent journal.

Feel

free to share these comments with others.
