Guest guest Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 The bad news is this product is made of aluminum silicate. I saw a breakdown of this product from a sample sent to Doctor's Data and it has lot of aluminum and calcium, trace amounts of arsenic, barium, cadmium, nickel, sodium, lithium, and a little boron, and not much else. Mark Schauss, a researcher has said that the product's claim to cure cancer is bogus and that there is some evidence that it may actually cause cancer. That was the scariest thing for me. There is no good evidence that this product chelates anything and in fact will raise the aluminum level. Dr. Boyd Hayley has said this product does not chelate mercury which is usually what we are trying to remove. There are a lot of people who say their child improved on this, but could just be due to the supplemental value. Better to stick with something proven for chelating mercury, dmsa, ala or dmps. I would hate to see people just starting out waste time with this product. Good luck, [ ] Moms who have tried Natural Cellular Defense I'm thinking of trying this for my son Nasir. I am new to this group and this is my first post. Nasir is 5 and starting Kindergarten next week. I want to start NCD but not sure if it is worth the money. Any suggestions or input. Moms could you give any examples of improvement after trying it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 I have to agree with , there is just not enough evidence out there of how this stuff works or why or if...The company is vague on that and I have not read any independent studies done on it yet. Being high in aluminum alone is one reason I would avoid it. Many kids are already toxic in aluminum from their vaccinations and enviornment. Nickel is carcinogenic, cadmium is poison..worse than mercury to try to chelate..barium is not good either. Hmm... I know some have said there kids did well on this, but for us, I am not comfortable giving it to my kids...just not enough science there for me. > > The bad news is this product is made of aluminum silicate.

I gave this product a good fair test and found that it has worked better then anything we have ever tried and we have eliminated the supplements, so it is 100% NCD that is improving our child. I have heard more great stories from NCD users then from any of the other chelation therapies. I think the facts in this debated article are not all true. Just like with any product, somebody will make a claim against it. This one must have been connected politically somehow as they are the responsible parties here.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Barb, Here's a good article that if you read it carefully could explain why people have seen improvement with NCD and it also mentions the connection with cancer. I have the DD's report on the breakdown of NCD, awaiting permission to post it. Like all new products we use in our field, it takes some time for all the information to come out and is the main reason why I shy away from things that are too new, but that's just me. Mark Schauss looked into this and found that it was made of aluminum silicate and that there was some proof that it not only did not cure cancer, but may be associated with cancer. I don't think anyone could say his comments are affected by money. So is not just this blog. I have also seen people post metal pulls with NCD and the aluminum in them is high, although it is said the aluminum does not get absorbed, so again, not clear. Another interesting thing about the blog in this article is that it doesn't slam everything that is alternative, only certain things. But here's the link to the article. http://www.pathguy.com/altermed.htm#zeolite Re: [ ]/was: Moms who have tried Natural Cellular Defense > The bad news is this product is made of aluminum silicate.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 The FDA is already hitting websites with the cancer claims for NCD. The FDA rating is basically saying that there is no evidence to date that it is carcinogenic. The carcinogenicity of zeolite is when it is inhaled so this should be clarified. On the other hand, its long term safety has never been tested. I for one would not want to put something into my children that contains aluminum as a supplement. There may be foods that contain as much or more, but there is a nutrient value there, this has none. When I saw the mineral analysis of the product, it looked pretty darned devoid of much of anything. A little calcium, aluminum, some other trace minerals in extremely low doses as well as very low doses of heavy metals but nothing substantial worth the money.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I'm wondering if the improvements aren't by the kids who started out with and still have significant gut issues. The blog states that the zeolites might influence transit time of food through the gut, altering fecal flora and/or working on the lymphoid tissue of the gut. Wondering if these kids were the kids who had diarrhea and still, despite many interventions pass food through their stomach so fast that they absorb little. They use it in cattle and poultry feeds, they wouldn't put cancer causing agents in that, would they?

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 There are many people seeing results.and heavy metals pulls. with NCD. You will find most of these people on the AutismNCD list.where you will also find the DDI results in the files section.along with many other helpful documents. With regard to the aluminum issue: Let's be clear. They found 3.2 ug/g aluminum in 15 ml of NCD. 1 ug/g = 1 ppm. There is probably less aluminum in the entire bottle than in piece of store bought bread. And why would anyone be surprised that they found aluminum in the first place? The company has been quite clear about the fact that it contains aluminum. It's just that they also claim it is not released from the " cage " unless heated to 900 degrees. The company also claims this Zeolite is different from the industrial types that are potentially carcinogenic and certainly wouldn't be appropriate for ingesting. The science may or may not support these claims. I'm not sure ANYONE knows this yet. Just as it is not very helpful to accept Waiora's pseudoscientific marketing claims about the product it is not also helpful to slam them without the science to back up the critical claims either. The product clearly does SOMETHING. And it does seem to pull metals (we pulled with it). But there is still a lot we don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Josie, Can you point us to examples of the heavy metal pulls? I have seen the metal pulls, and I could be reading them incorrectly, but saw little amounts of some metals, with aluminum being the largest metal being reported. Just having a discussion for the purpose of seperating fact from fiction, is what we do to any product that a company makes claims about, noone gets a free pass. I think you'll find we're equal opportunity cynics. Check onibasu for discussions about td-dmps when it first appeared on the market.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 : I am all in favor of equal opportunity critics. This is the safest way to be (and I was around to catch the Buttar discussions I just never post)!! My daughter pulled metals with NCD and I posted to the group there when I got the results. She has not chelated with any other agent. She meets the counting rules. In the preprovocation test she wasn't dumping anything at all (below detection for lead mercury and aluminum). I gave her 3 drops 2x/day of NCD for 7 days and got a little bit of mercury a little bit of lead a good amount of nickel and (you are right) more aluminum. But on that tiny amount of product for 7 days with no (discernible) side effects I was not unimpressed. Here is a copy of that message: All: I have the results of the DDI Urine Toxic Metals test I sent based on our use of NCD Zeolite. I also have a baseline from this past January. We haven't used any other chelators. In the " pre " provocative test we didn't have ANY (ie below detection limit) aluminum, lead or mercury and we had a teeny bit of tungsten (9.5) and nickel (.5). In the " NCD " test we have: Aluminum at 11 in the green where ref is < 60 Lead at .5 in the green where ref is < 5 Mercury at 1 in the green where ref is < 5 Nickel at 17 in the yellow where ref is < 15 Tungsten at 3.9 in the yellow where ref is < 1.5 Her excretion of antimony, arsenic, cadmium and tin were teeny tiny and the same in both tests. 1. She had been taking only 3 drops 2x/day for 7 days when I collected this urine 2. I did not do any sort of challenge dose before I collected though there is one recommended at http://www.ncdtest.com/ 3. I collected first morning urine at around 7am and her last dose of the stuff had been at around 3:30pm the previous day. 4. We have continued at 3 drops 2x/day since then and plan to increase the dose gradually with the guidance of our acupuncturist who muscle tests 5. I did not change any other supplements (unless the added kidney support at 3 drops 2x/day counts) during the time of this urine test but have since added a little more magnesium and zinc. Pretty cool huh???? For background on my daughter (I don't think I have ever posted this here), she is 4 yrs 3 months. We are very fortunate. We consider her " NT with supplements " as she functions normally but she takes a lot of supplements (the DAN kitchen sink) and we know she is metal toxic. She was partially vaccinated (DTap, HIB, polio only) before we stopped. I have amalgams galore and we have other risk factors. She walked late (17.5 months) and spoke late (31 months) and has leaky gut (we love HNI enzymes) and was a little " touchy " . I got busy w/biomed with the help of an acupuncturist, a good nutritionist and also a whole lot of help from Dr. Cave. It all resolved very quickly (so quickly that her language was age appropriate in 3 months - by 34 months). I am in this for long term healing, to make the health " stick " and to make it stick (and to stop taking some of these supplements) we need to get those metals out of her. We are also waiting on the results of Yasko's genetic profile as we think that will help with longterm wellness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
