Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Hello, There is so much people that declare problems coming from mercury of the amalgam fillings. When fillings are removed if dentists have not some precautions with instruments and protocol medicine, mercury goes in the body circuit creating more big problems. In some forum i see that it is a big problem, many persons are in suffering without knowing that the cause is mercury - after chelation things go better but not always. I ask 1)if in ayurveda there is some formulations to neutralise the mercury. 2)Why in the alchemic and ayurvedic medicine the mercury is the principle of transformation...and now we know the dangerous effects? May be the alchemic process of killing mercury changes its nature? Thanks merevita <merevita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 I am attaching a report that I came accross concerninng staple foods. This is for information and comments please. By Peter Starck, 2002/04/24 STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Basic foods eaten by millions around the world such as bread, biscuits, potato chips and french fries contain alarmingly high quantities of acrylamide, a substance believed to cause cancer, Swedish scientists said on Wednesday. The research carried out at Stockholm University in cooperation with experts at Sweden's National Food Administration, a government food safety agency, showed that heating of carbohydrate-rich foods, such as potatoes, rice or cereals formed acrylamide, a much studied substance classified as a probable human carcinogen. The research was deemed so important that the scientists decided on the unusual step of going public with their findings before the research had been officially published in an academic journal. "I have been in this field for 30 years and I have never seen anything like this before," said Leif Busk, head of the food administration's research department. Findings unveiled at a news conference called by the food administration showed that an ordinary bag of potato chips may contain up to 500 times more of the substance than the top level allowed in drinking water by the World Health Organization. French fries sold at Swedish franchises of U.S. fast-food chains Burger King Corp and McDonald's contained about 100 times the one microgram per liter maximum permitted by the WHO for drinking water, the study showed. One milligram, or 0.001 grams, contains 1,000 micrograms. Known Hazard The Environmental Protection Agency classifies acrylamide, a colorless, crystalline solid, as a medium hazard probable human carcinogen. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, acrylamide induces gene mutations and has been found in animal tests to cause benign and malignant stomach tumors. It is also known to cause damage to the central and peripheral nervous system. "The discovery that acrylamide is formed during the preparation of food, and at high levels, is new knowledge. It may now be possible to explain some of the cases of cancer caused by food," Busk said. "Fried, oven-baked and deep-fried potato and cereal products may contain high levels of acrylamide," the administration said. "Acrylamide is formed during the preparation of food and occurs in many foodstuffs...Many of the analyzed foodstuffs are consumed in large quantities, e.g. potato crisps, french fries, fried potatoes, biscuits and bread." Among products analyzed in the study were potato chips made by Finnish company CHIPS ABP, whose shares fell 14.5 percent to six-month lows, as well as breakfast cereals made by U.S. Kellogg, Quaker Oats Co, part of PepsiCo Inc, and Swiss Nestle, and Old El Paso brand tortilla chips. "For us, these are completely new findings which have never before been known to the world's foodstuffs industry," CHIPS ABP said in a statement to the Helsinki stock exchange. Stefan Eriksson, marketing manager Burger King's subsidiary in Sweden, told Reuters by telephone: "We have received the information and we are evaluating what it will mean." Spokesmen for the other companies mentioned in the research were not immediately available for comment. No Products Withdrawn Margareta Tornqvist, an associate professor at Stockholm University's department of environmental chemistry, said the consumption of a single potato crisp could take acrylamide intake up to the WHO maximum for drinking water. Busk said, however, that the product analysis based on more than 100 random samples was not extensive enough for the administration to recommend the withdrawal of any products from supermarket shelves. "Frying at high temperatures or for a long time should be avoided," Busk said, adding: "Our advice to eat less fat-rich products such as french fries and crisps, remains valid." He said the findings applied worldwide, not only to Sweden, as the food raw materials used in the analyzes had showed no traces of acrylamide. Swedish authorities had informed the European Commission and EU member countries, Busk said. "It is the first time we have come across such a result. We will evaluate this study and look at it but it is important to say that Sweden has not withdrawn any products from the market," said European Commission spokeswoman Beate Gminder. "Therefore we'll have to see what the scientific evaluation by our side and by scientists in the member states will bring about," she said. Liliane Abramsson-Zetterberg, a toxicologist at the Swedish food administration, said: "The cancer risk from acrylamide is much higher than (the levels) we accept for known carcinogens." But smoking, which is known to cause cancer, remained a bigger risk, she said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Hi Merevita; In response to your first question > 1)if in ayurveda there is some formulations to neutralise the mercury. I can share that cilantro juice (1 tbs of puree 2X daily has been recommended by several for chelating heavy metals. It is however better prepared in a fresh cilantro chutney/salsa (even just blend cilantro, fresh ginger or garlic, lime, salt, and a little sweet) or use something like the following delicious recipe. (If the forum host perfers, people can contact me for it) It seems that vata is also aggravated (with pitta) when heavy metals are creating problems in the body, so balancing the cilantro's raw and cooling properties is wise. CILANTRO CHELATION PESTO Said to Remove Heavy Metals (Author Unknown). Heavy metal poisoning is rampant. It is reported to be a major cause of hormonal imbalances, cancer, thyroid problems, neurological disturbances, learning problems, depression, food allergies, parasites, etc. This is a great recipe that is not only easy to make but also really yummy, and it tells you how to remove heavy metals from the body! Cilantro is truly a healing food. One friend suffering from high blood pressure due to mercury poisoning had her blood pressure return to normal after eating two teaspoons of this pesto daily for only a week. So whether you need to detoxify heavy metals from your body or just wish to use it as a preventative measure, 2 teaspoons a day is all you need to take. This pesto has now become a regular in my diet. Enjoy! - Diann 4 cloves garlic (vata and kapha reducing) 1/3 cup Brazil nuts (selenium) (vata reducing) 1/3 cup sunflower seeds (cysteine) (vata reducing) 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds (zinc, magnesium) (vata reducing) 2 cups packed fresh cilantro (coriander, Chinese parsley) (vitamin A) (pitta reducing) 2/3 cup flaxseed oil (pitta, kapha reducing) 4 tablespoons lime juice (vitamin C, Vata reducing) 2 tsp dulse powder (iodine rich) (dosha influence probably pitta reducing) Sea salt to taste (vata reducing) Process the cilantro and flaxseed oil in a blender until the coriander is chopped. Add the garlic, nuts and seeds, dulse and lime juice and mix until the mixture is finely blended into a paste. Add a pinch to sea salt to taste [here is where I would add a couple of drops of the essential oils...Joy] and blend again. Store in dark glass jars if possible. It freezes well, so purchase cilantro in season and fill enough jars to last through the year. Cilantro has been proven to chelate toxic metals from our bodies in a relatively short period of time. Combined with the benefits of the other ingredients, this recipe is a powerful tissue cleanser. Two teaspoons of this pesto daily for three weeks is purportedly enough to increase the urinary excretion of mercury, lead and aluminum, thus effectively removing these toxic metals from our bodies. We can consider doing this cleanse for three weeks at least once a year. The pesto is delicious on rice, vegetables, toast, baked potatoes, avocado and pasta. ESSENTIAL OILS CHELATING MERCURY Dr. Gary Young has reported in preliminary research study in the Young Life Research Clinic in Utah administering 3 – 4 capsules daily of only his essential oil blend, JuvaCleanse which quickly increased urinary output of mercury for several days and then decreased again. He expects that the body's deeper tissues such as brain would release further in another distinctive phase transition with continued use, but I have not heard his latest discussion here. He of course recommends other protocols along with for better balance in this cleansing process. Dr. Young is a brilliant researcher, healer and naturopath, unfortunately without the added wisdom of Ayurvedic principles. I do not know of the Ayurvedic discussion which would be appropriate around this study. This oil blend (containing the expensive oils of Helichrysum, Celery Seed and Ledum) is used safely internally only in therapeutic grade form (organic/low temp/pressure distillation solvent etc free) can be accessed at the website below. A fascinating audiotape discussion is available from www.essentialscience.net, for about $2 if they still have the singles available; it is one of this year's training tapes with case studies from his clinic.
