Natural Cellular Defense and zeolite - is it the next big thing in nutritional
therapies for cancer and chronic disease?
You may not believe what you're about to read. Early indications are that this could be a
significant breakthrough in nutritional medicine, cancer treatments and heavy metals
detoxification. If early reports are to be believed, it far surpasses even the most
miraculous cancer drugs from the world of conventional medicine, as you'll see below. It
could also be nothing special at all, some critics say, and we'll explore that side of this
story as well.
Read this article carefully, and remember that as the author of this article(Mike Adams), I
am in no way financially involved in this company or its products. My level of interest in
this product is due solely to its apparent potential for ending suffering, not from any
financial reward on my part -- because, again, I have absolutely no financial ties to this
product or its manufacturer.
What is this product? Let me (Mike Adams) put this into perspective for you. Recently,
the conventional medical community went positively nuts over the latest anti-cancer
drug, Herceptin. This drug, which was clinically shown to reduce the rate of recurring
breast cancer by 43%, has been deemed a "cure for cancer" by physicians and
oncologists who live in the realm of pharmaceuticals. This is the most amazing drug
they've ever seen -- 43% reduction -- and they're calling for it to be widely prescribed,
even to those women who don't have breast cancer.
Here's a question for you: what if there were a non-prescription substance, made from
natural ingredients, which had been correlated with cancer remissions in 78% of stage 4
cancer patients in a preliminary trial? (This was a small-scale prelim trial, so don't draw
erroneous conclusions based on this single study...)
Natural Cellular Defense and zeolite - is it the next big thing in nutritional therapies for cancer and chronic
disease? - 1
If you know anything about cancer, you're probably already thinking this can't be true.
It's simply too good to be true. But actually, I'm not done explaining it yet...
What if this substance was virtually tasteless, odorless and easily consumed in water?
That way, cancer patients (who have a very difficult time handling anything that tastes
funny) could stomach it?
What if this substance also functioned as a potent detoxification supplement that binds
with heavy metals, PCBs, pesticides and other cancer-causing chemicals and pulls them
right out of the body?
What if it could bind with nitrosamines in the digestive tract, protecting people from the
cancer-causing effects of processed meat preservatives?
What if this were backed by an approved U.S. patent, supported by convincing scientific
research, and already on the GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) list for food
ingredients?
And what if it were available right now, as a new breakthrough in nutritional medicine,
that's shipping to customers as we speak?
Natural Cellular Defense
The news is that there is such a nutritional product. It's called Natural Cellular Defense
(NCD), and it's based on research conducted by reputable (and pioneering) scientists
from the world of -- believe it or not -- pharmaceutical medicine.
There's a lot of excitement (some say it's just hype) over NCD right now, especially
online. Critics, however, point out that NCD is not safety approved by the FDA for any
specific disease. Then again, neither is zinc, pomegranates or green tea, and we all
know those are proven disease fighters. Besides, FDA safety approval doesn't mean
much to anybody who knows how the FDA really operates, since the agency routinely
approves deadly drugs like Vioxx that have killed hundreds of thousands of Americans
already (and continue to do so each year). Recently, too, an FDA safety panel gave
near-unanimous approval to a diabetes drug that doubled the risk of heart attacks and
strokes -- another Vioxx disaster just waiting to happen. But that's a different article.
The relevant question here is this: is NCD safe? And is it really a breakthrough
supplement that could save lives and help prevent cancer and other degenerative
diseases?
Let's take a closer look at the function claims emerging from the research on this
substance conducted by Rik Deitsch (background info on Rik provided later in this
Natural Cellular Defense and zeolite - is it the next big thing in nutritional therapies for cancer and chronic
disease? - 2
article). According to his research document, which you can download and read yourself
(see "learn more," below), NCD exhibits the following actions:
There is an audio recording to hear what doctors are saying. (18 min)
1. Reduces cancer risk. Although only one small human trial has been conducted, the
results were intriguing: 78% full remission for stage 4 cancer patients (with
various types of cancer). The study was an open-label trial conducted by the
researchers at LifeLink Pharmaceuticals in Ohio. Although one small study is not
grounds for leaping to solid conclusions about cancer, this result is promising
enough to warrant additional investigation. Any anti-cancer effect is probably due
to NCD's ability to induce tumor suppressor genes that cause the body to not
only halt the growth of tumor cells, but actually destroy such tumors. The
technical explanation on this reads:
Finely ground natural zeolite powder has also been shown to induce activation of
p21WAF1/CIP1. As a universal inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases and one of
the target genes of the tumor suppresser p53, p21WAF1/CIP1 can act as a tumor
suppresser through its ability to control cell cycle progression. Activation of
p21WAF1/CIP1 may halt the growth of tumors by directly suppressing growth
signals. However, tissue culture experiments demonstrated that activated zeolite
particles inhibit protein kinase B/akt, another kinase involved in antiapoptotic
processes and cancer promotion. This happens only when growth of cells in
tissue cultures is stimulated by the addition of growth factors. Zeolite particles
might adsorb growth factors or prevent interaction of protein kinase B with
membranes, where it is phosphorylated by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. It has
recently been shown that inactivation of protein kinase B by, for example, the
novel tumor suppressor molecule PTEN also results in induction of the tumor
suppressor-CDK inhibitor p27KIP1.
2. Acts as an antioxidant. Thus, it counters free radicals and helps the body defend
itself against free radical / DNA damage.
3. Traps and nullifies nitrosamines in the digestive tract. This is of monumental
importance. If you've read much on this site, you already know I've been
sounding alarm bells about sodium nitrite and nitrosamines found in processed
meats. (I've covered the issue in depth in my book Grocery Warning.) These
nitrosamines are potent cancer-causing agents that appear responsible for the
dramatic increase in cancer risk that follows the consumption of processed meat
products (bacon, sausage, pepperoni, etc.) Pancreatic cancer rates shoot up
Natural Cellular Defense and zeolite - is it the next big thing in nutritional therapies for cancer and chronic
disease? - 3
68%, and colon cancer rates are similarly heightened. Leukemia and brain
cancers are also strongly correlated with processed meats consumption.
Additionally, we've also learned just recently that nitrosamines are a causative
factor in type-II diabetes. Yet consumers are eating nitrosamines almost every
day in their sandwich meats, pizzas, canned soups and other manufactured food
products. NCD captures and isolates those nitrosamine compounds from the
body, preventing them from reacting with the body's biochemistry. This single
effect of this product could, in my estimation, potentially save the lives of millions
of children and adults every year, all around the world. More detailed studies
need to be conducted, of course, to determine the precise protective effect, but
the initial information is very intriguing.
4. Chelates and removes heavy metals from the body. This is substantial. It is known
to remove mercury, cadmium, and lead, all of which are strongly correlated with
various neurological disorders such as autism, Alzheimer's disease, dementia,
etc. The heavy metals research that I've seen, however, was conducted outside
the body (not in human subjects), so there remains a lot of research that needs to
be done in humans to further support this function claim.
5. Provides immunomodulatory action. This means it supports healthy immune
system function which, of course, helps protect the body from a number of
diseases and health threats.
6. Acts as a broad spectrum antiviral agent. After a few weeks of use, NCD
reportedly begins to exhibit antiviral effects. This benefit is obviously very
important for defense against infectious disease and even potential pandemic
threats like the bird flu. It doesn't mean NCD treats bird flu or any particular
disease, but it could potentially help reduce the viral load in conjunction with
other, more direct treatments.
7. Balances pH levels. This is also hugely important for maintaining overall health. Most
people exist in a state of excessive acidity, largely caused by poor dietary
choices. NCD helps balance that state so that the body can function at its
greatest biochemical efficiency.
8. Improves nutrient absorption. Malnutrition is common in the populations of the
western world, even for those eating excessive quantities of food. One of the
main reasons is, of course, malabsorption of nutrients, and it is these nutritional
deficiencies that so often lead to the onset of chronic disease, especially in the
elderly. NCD reportedly improves nutrient absorption, thereby reducing the risk of
malnutrition, even without dietary changes.

disease? - 4
How does Natural Cellular Defense really
work?
How does it do all this? As Rik explains, it has to do with the unique crystalline structure
of the zeolites which make up the active ingredient in NCD. Zeolites are found in nature,
formed by the fusion of glass-rich volcanic rock with water (either fresh water or
seawater). These zeolites have a rare property of being able to exchange positivelycharged particles with surrounding elements without losing their structure. Zeolites are,
essentially, negatively-charged minerals.
This allows a zeolite crystal to act as a "cage" that traps particles and compounds,
isolating them from the biochemistry of the organism. Thus it functions as a sort of
dance club bouncer that captures free radicals, carcinogens and even viral particles, and
tosses them out. Because of this unique mechanism, NCD offers a unique line of
defense that complements existing nutritional therapies without redundancy. In other
words, if you're already taking green tea supplements as a breast cancer prevention
strategy, then taking NCD will only complement your green tea strategy, because NCD
works from an entirely different biochemical mechanism than green tea.
An audio recording to hear Rik J. Deitsch discuss the mechanisms of NCD (32
min)
A good question about NCD (and I, Mike Adams, don't know the answer to this) is
whether NCD would be contraindicated for the dietary supplementation of minerals such
as calcium, magnesium or trace minerals. Rik partly answers this in his rebuttal (below),
where he explains the selectivity of the zeolites.
Critics say zeolites cause harm
Critics of NCD, however, are saying this substance causes cancer. How can that be?
They're referring to the fibrous structure of zeolite crystals and the problems
encountered when a person inhales tiny crystalline structures. Inhaling asbestos, for
example, is known to cause lung cancer. The tiny, knife-edge fibers in asbestos slice up
the tissues of your lungs, then embed themselves and interfere with normal lung tissue
function, ultimately leading to cancer (20 or 30 years down the road, sometimes).
My (Mike Adams) first response to the critics is simply that the zeolites in NCD are never
inhaled. This is a product that's swallowed, not breathed in. So we're talking apples and
oranges here. Of course volcanic rock will cause cancer if you grind it into fine dust and
Natural Cellular Defense and zeolite - is it the next big thing in nutritional therapies for cancer and chronic
disease? - 5
inhale it for hours on end. Almost any crystalline substance would do the same. But
consuming it orally is an entirely different story.
We consume many other crystalline structures orally, including minerals and amino
acids from our daily diet. Silica, for one, is a common nutritional supplement, and there's
no indication that swallowing silica is harmful. Even spinach contains crystalline
structures. And zeolites are on the GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) list
maintained by the FDA. Not that the FDA has any credibility in my view, but it is a GRAS
substance.
You can see this GRAS status mentioned at:
http://www.gsaresources.com/PDSZK406H.htm. There, the page goes on to explain,
"Natural zeolites are inert, non-toxic minerals which are federally classified as GRAS
(generally recognized as safe) in most applications and exempted from regulations and
reporting when used in accordance with good agricultural practice and when less than
2% in animal feed products (40 CFR, Part 180.1001)."
I (Mike Adams) would also question the critics of zeolites with an obvious question: if
zeolites caused cancer, then how did 78% of the stage 4 cancer patients in the
clinical trial find themselves in a state of full remission after taking NCD?
Obviously, if the substance promoted cancer, those people should never have survived
the study. Seven subjects didn't survive, actually, but they were late-stage cancer
patients, and the trial lasted 14 months.
Keep in mind this was a small study, so it doesn't prove anything conclusively all by
itself. I've seen some talk on the 'net that claims this substance has been proven to cure
all cancers with a 100% cure rate and other similar nonsense. That's extremely
irresponsible, given how little we actually know about the efficacy of this supplement in
the context of different diseases or conditions. More research clearly needs to be
conducted. It may someday be solidly proven that NCD prevents or treats cancers, but
the supplement is nowhere near that status today. (It would cost probably half a billion
dollars just to fund the studies to determine the answer to those questions, by the way.)
The Scientific Research Monograph by Rik Deitsch explains more about the safety of
NCD:
The zeolite particles are negatively charged in the entire pH range (pH 1–11). Electron
microscopy shows an absence of fibers, and most particles are round with a very rough
surface. The absence of fibrous, positively charged particles is encouraging since such
particles are present in asbestos and erionite zeolites, which are highly carcinogenic and
mutagenic. In addition, activated zeolite particles do not catalyze the production of
hydroxyl radicals, unlike asbestos or erionite. It seems that absence of fibrous particles
capable of producing hydroxyl radicals makes this zeolite sample nontoxic and
noncarcinogenic, at least when applied orally.

Rik Deitsch responds to critics
At the bottom of this article, I (Mike Adams) have reprinted Rik Deitsch's response to the
primary critic of NCD. You can scroll all the way down to the bottom of this article to see
the full response. It contains some solid scientific rebuttals to the critics, and also a good
dose of emotional charge (almost as exciting as some of my, Mike Adams, own Big
Pharma rants...)
The one contraindication on NCD that I'm fully aware of, however, is dehydration. If you
take this product as a supplement and then fail to drink large amounts of water, you may
end up causing harm through dehydration combined with circulating crystalline
structures. Imagine sand flowing through a water hose, and then suddenly the water
stops. What happens to the sand? It gets stuck in the hose. A crude metaphor, I know,
but realizing that uric acid crystals circulating in the blood can cause havoc with joint
pain, it seems wise to point out that full hydration is likely crucial for anyone choosing to
take this product.
My (Mike Adams) main complaint about zeolites is that they have been tested on lab
rats. As is standard procedure in pharmaceutical testing, lab rats are given cancer
(through injection of carcinogenic substances, usually) and then watched for their
response to the substance being tested. Because I'm a big animal rights supporter, and I
have compassion for all living things, I'm not happy about this animal testing on the
product, and I wish the manufacturer would announce an animal testing ban from here
on out.
Rats are mammals, after all. They give live birth, just like we do. And although you might
argue that sacrificing the lives of a few rats is worth finding a potential treatment for
deadly diseases like cancer, I have an argument against that: most people with cancer
chose a lifestyle that causes cancer, whether it's from cigarettes, eating junk food,
avoiding exercise, and so on. The rats, in contrast, made no such choice. Cancer was
forced upon them as an experiment -- sort of like making the rats pay for the sins of
man. Thus, I believe it is morally wrong to give cancer to one group of mammals in order
to discover a treatment for cancer in another group of mammals that's supposed to be of
"higher intelligence" and yet isn't smart enough to stop its own self destruction.
An interesting moral question, for sure, and one that I'm likely to revisit in future followup articles.

Is it the next big thing in nutritional
therapy?
Because of the remarkable properties of zeolites, combined with the standing patent, the
reputation of the researchers behind this product, and the desperate need for alternative
solutions from people suffering from cancer, this NCD product stands well positioned to
be a big deal in nutritional products. Today, very few people have heard about it (it was
only released to the public recently). But a year from now, it could be well known and
highly regarded in the healing communities.
If the initial function claims hold up in further testing on humans, NCD could be nothing
short of an unprecedented breakthrough in cancer prevention, anti-aging, heavy metals
detoxification and many other areas pivotal to the health of the public at large. This
single product could conceivably play a significant role in the reversal of the health
decline of populations in the United States, Canada and developed nations around the
world. This is especially true given the shocking fact that nearly every person in the
United States has at least 125 toxic chemicals in their blood right now that don't belong
there. Recent studies are even finding rocket fuel in 100% of breast milk samples taken
from women across 18 states.
The potential success of this product depends on how this plays out, especially with
FDA regulators who will no doubt be heavily scrutinizing this product. Why? My (Mike
Adams) opinion is that the cancer treatment industry is one of the most politically
powerful (and profitable) industries on the planet, and anything that competes with
chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and mammography is bound to be attacked by the
AMA, FDA and old school doctors. But that's just my opinion based on the way Dr.
Burzynski (and other cancer research pioneers) have been attacked and discredited,
going all the way back to Hoxsey. Besides, innovation is always the enemy of the
status quo. And the slash & burn approach to cancer being practiced today is definitely
the "status quo."
In any case, while I (Mike Adams) can't predict the future with certainty, I'd say this
product is positioned to be one of the most sought-after and talked-about disease
prevention breakthroughs any of us have seen in a while. Although I can't be involved
with this company (due to my journalistic ethical guidelines), I am ordering product for
personal experimentation, and I do expect to write a number of follow-up articles on
NCD as this story unfolds.

Why a direct sales company?
Once this article goes public, I'm going to receive the inevitable emails asking, "Mike,
why are you recommending a company using the direct sales marketing model?"
I'm not concerned with the marketing model of the company. That's irrelevant. I'm
interested in the product. And if the company changed its marketing model to TV
advertising and vitamin store displays, I'd still recommend the product as long as they
didn't fudge the formula.
Besides, I'm consistently finding some of the best health products in the world are found
through network marketing companies. The Amazon Herb Company, for example, is flatout one of the most high-integrity, honest and globally positive supplement companies
I've ever seen. That's why I (Mike Adams) encourage everybody I know to get involved
with the Amazon Herb Company, even if it's just as a customer. Their rainforest herbal
products are second to none, and their pioneer (Amazon John) is an individual of great
authenticity and credibility.
About the Waiora company
This Waiora company, by the way, is not one that I (Mike Adams) have been watching or
covering for any length time. So I don't have the depth of knowledge about this company
that I do the Amazon Herb Company, for example. But I do know that when I called them
in doing my due diligence for this article, they answered their phones promptly and were
very attentive.
I do know the company was founded in April, 2004, by top people who used to be in the
Rexall direct sales organization. Those founders are Stan Cherelstein and Eddie Stone.
As a direct sales organization, Waiora is undeniably young, yet its principals bring many
Natural Cellular Defense and zeolite - is it the next big thing in nutritional therapies for cancer and chronic
disease? - 9
years of experience with them. So hopefully the company won't buckle under the
barrage of customer service demands that always seem to follow explosive growth in
any new product like this.
The company is mum on its total number of active distributors, but they are gearing up
for accelerating interest by proactively hiring new staff: customer service personnel,
packers and shippers, etc. This NCD product, by the way, definitely seems to be the
hottest item on the menu for Waiora. Their other health products may be well
formulated, but they're not what's getting people excited.
The company currently has active business status in several countries: the United
States, Canada, Taiwan and Japan. In contrast, Europe, Australia, South America and
Africa are currently excluded from Waiora's business operations, although Waiora is
constantly striving to expand its international operations.
Much of the research on NCD was conducted by Rik Deitsch. Rik is the CEO of the
Nutra Pharma Corporation, a publicly-traded biotech firm. Rik is experienced in
researching drug design using computer simulations, and currently teaches physician
CME (Continuing Medical Education) courses internationally. He's also the author of the
book, "Are You Age-Wise?" Rik and the founder of Waiora, I was told, have a long
history of cooperation on various health projects and product formulations.
Dr. Gabriel Cousens talks about NCD
The following segment was authored by Dr. Cousens from the Tree of Life Rejuvenation
Center.
It is amazing that every year 10.9 million people across the globe are diagnosed with
cancer and 6.7 million people die because of cancer. This is about 12% of all global
deaths. The U.S. Ranks in the top three countries with the highest rate of cancer in both
men and women. This is not an accident. 70,000 chemicals, according to the E.P.A., are
used commercially. 65,000 of those 70,000 are potentially hazardous to our health.
According to the Environmental Defense Group, more than 4 billion pounds of toxic
chemicals are released into the environment each year, and 72 million of those pounds
are known carcinogens.
These cancer-causing agents end up on our air, our water, and our food. In other words,
we, like everybody else in the world, are surrounded by carcinogens, and we have to
use what we as human beings have used all along for survival: a certain amount of
cleverness and thoughtfulness in our lives, to counteract the lack of consciousness that
the corporations and ourselves are living with. Different tests on the blood and urine of
adult Americans have found a total of 167 compounds, with an average of 91 of these
Natural Cellular Defense and zeolite - is it the next big thing in nutritional therapies for cancer and chronic
disease? - 10
per person. Of these 167 compounds, 76 are known to cause cancer, and 94 are toxic to
the nervous system. 82 affect the lungs, 86 affect hormones, and 79 cause birth defects.
In terms of children, unborn babies, for which Gabriel is working to develop a
detoxification system for pre-pregnant mothers, the Red Cross has found a total of 287
chemicals in the baby's blood, 180 are known to cause cancer, 217 are toxic to the brain
and nervous system, and 208 cause birth defects in animals. Our future generations are
explicitly at risk. Wouldn't it be nice to find a simple, natural remedy that can act as a
practical antidote for this situation?
Some estimates show as much 25% of Americans suffer from some degree of heavy
metal poisoning, the biggest ones being Mercury, Lead, Cadmium and Arsenic. We are
exposed to radioactivity as well in a major way. The Chernobyl disaster is just one
example of that situation. Immune systems are compromised by lifestyle and by toxic
exposure. People are exposed to increasing viral attacks; free-radical buildup from
radiation and other toxic chemicals has been seen as one of the causes or contributors
to increased aging and cancer. People are living in an acid environment, of acid
thoughts, of acid foods, and an acid lifestyle; people are becoming, obviously, more
acid.
In my search for a simple approach to this, I have come across a natural compound
called zeolite. Zeolite, in general, has been used for hundreds of years as a traditional
remedy throughout Asia to promote overall health and well-being. Zeolite is an
alchemical combining of the four elements, air, earth, water, and fire, as the lava earth
and fire energy of volcanoes erupted, and the lava and ash poured into the sea. The
combination of the ash and the salt from the sea, as well as the lava, caused a chemical
reaction, and over thousands of years certain precious minerals like zeolites began to be
formed.
A chemist in a small pharmaceutical company in Ohio, was intrigued by the power of
zeolites. He researched it and purified it, and found some amazingly powerful effects
from it. He was given a patent # 6,288,045 by the U.S. government for this.
I have read the scientific research, the patent papers, and the research monographed by
Rik J. Deitsch, a nutritional and research biochemist, who is president of NDA
Consulting, Inc., a biotechnology research group. He is also Chairman of the Waiora
Scientific Advisory Board, and he is in charge of all the research concerning this natural
healing substance. After talking with him and reading the literature, it is clear that they
may have discovered what seems to be one of the most potent natural preventatives,
and perhaps even treatments, for cancer.
In a recently completed preliminary 14 month study, with 65 level four, terminal-stage
cancer patients, sent home to die, 51 of the patients, or 78%, experienced complete
Natural Cellular Defense and zeolite - is it the next big thing in nutritional therapies for cancer and chronic
disease? - 11
remissions, (which means complete disappearance of the cancer). It appears to be
effective for all forms of cancer, leukemias, and lymphomas.
The mechanism of action is quite interesting for cancer. Theoretically what happens is
the zeolites in Natural Cellular Defense, which is a certain structure that is negatively
charged, takes in a tremendous amount of positively charged heavy metals, pesticides,
and herbicides, therefore having the indirect effect of neutralizing their effect in causing
cancer. Then, because of this, the zeolites become slightly positively charged and are
attracted to the negatively charged membrane of the cancer cell and are pulled right into
the cancer cells.
When the zeolite moves inside the cell, the P21 gene is activated. P21 acts as a tumor
suppressor through its ability to control cell cycle progression. The activation of P21
appears to halt the growth of tumors by directly suppressing growth signals. In in-vitro
studies, all cancer cells tested were destroyed in 72 hours, which is a claim no other
substance has been able to make. The beauty of it, of course, is that there are no side
effects because it specifically targets cancer cells.
My primary interest is in cancer prevention, and preparing mothers for a healthy
pregnancy. We do not want to ignore the fact of a preliminary study that shows
approximately 78% of the terminally diagnosed people with cancer are now in remission.
We have to say that zeolite is still in preliminary research. We cannot claim that this is a
cure for cancer, but we can certainly look at it as a potent cancer prevention remedy.
In terms of the heavy metals, which is a major, major problem, as well as pesticides and
herbicides, furans and dioxins, etc., we can say that zeolite acts to chelate and remove
heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, and other toxins from the system. It seems to do
this in a hierarchical manner. It first acts strongly to remove lead, mercury, cadmium,
and arsenic. Once it has removed those from the system, which may take at least one
month, it then chelates out, in the second level priority, the pesticides, herbicides,
plastics, and so forth. The third priority is it acts as a natural trap of viruses to prevent
the production of the viruses.
The way it chelates out the heavy metals as well as the pesticides and herbicides is that
within the structure of the zeolite, there are certain cages, inside of which are positive
ions. The positive ions switch places with the heavy metals, pesticides, or herbicides,
which are also positive ions, and [the cage structure of zeolite] tightly binds them. One of
the qualities of this [caged binding of toxins] is that they are 100% excreted; these
pesticides, herbicides, and heavy metals do not get deposited in other places in the
system; they go out. 40% of it binds the heavy metals in the gastrointestinal tract, and
60% of it binds toxins in the bloodstream and at the cellular level. An additional part of its
binding power was also proven at the Chernobyl disaster, where it removed radioactive
cesium and strontium-90 from the system, acting primarily as a chelator, allowing those
radioactive minerals to be trapped in the crystalline cage structure of the zeolite.

disease? - 12
Zeolite also acts as a unique antioxidant in that it does not work like the traditional
antioxidants, which act as a way to, in essence, take up the excess free radicals. What it
does do, is it simply traps the radicals in its complex structure. It inactivates them and,
again, eliminates them from the system. So, it acts complimentarily to the traditional
antioxidants that absorb the free radicals into their system because they have an
unpaired electron.
In addition, zeolite acts as what we would call a local buffer. Wherever it is, it buffers the
system towards slightly alkaline, pH 7.35 to 7.45, which is a perfect buffer, for the
optimum pH for the human body, that we want. Research has also shown that, in a way
that is not entirely clear, it acts to regulate the immune system, either to up-regulate it or
down-regulate it according to the situation. This is very important in a world in which
most people's immune system is seriously and continually being compromised.
The final role that zeolite plays is as a broad-spectrum anti-viral. What it does in that
case is that it blocks virus production. It does this because viruses produce everything in
parts, in a production line, and at the end, they put it all together. What zeolite does it
that it literally absorbs the viral parts into the "pores" parts seems to be effective for
herpes virus 1, cosachie virus B-5, ecco-virus 7, and also adeno virus 5. Gabriel wants
to be clear that its effect as an anti-viral is not immediate, but only seems to happen
after you have been on it for about four to six weeks, and the heavy metals, pesticides,
and herbicides have been mostly pulled out. It is the third level down in the hierarchy.
This, again, is a preventative thing that builds up over time.
One unique thing about this zeolite is that it is considered by the FDA as "completely
safe." It is listed on the GRAS list (generally recognized as safe). There does not seem
to be any side effect. However, there is a contraindication to be aware of. Because of its
natural action to absorb water, it can cause dehydration. Whenever you are taking this it,
it is important to drink a lot of water. It is important to drink water before you start taking
it to hydrate yourself for several days. It is also contraindicated in medications with
heavy metals, such as lithium or with the use of medications with platinum in them.
The general treatment for everyone is 10 drops three times a day, with or without meals.
For cancer, 15 drops 3-4 times per day is recommended. Zeolite remains active in the
body for a period of six hours, and then needs to be replenished. What I believe we have
here is a most unique, natural substance that is formed alchemically way by nature, as a
gift from God to help us face our present day health challenges due to with ecological
ignorance. In ayurveda, we call it crimes against nature: prajna prat hara. Not only are
Gabriel and Shanti taking it, but I feel that it is an obvious thing that everyone who is
living in the industrial world should be taking on a regular basis.
Once you have taken 10 drops three times per day for four to six weeks, then you can
drop down to 3-5 drops three times a day on an ongoing basis, and upping it when there
is a viral attack, chemical exposure, chemtrail exposure, and so forth. This is a gift from

The Rik Deitsch response to critics
Here's a memo distributed by Rik Deitsch himself which responds to the safety concerns
about NCD. Here, he's responding primarily to Jonathan Campbell. (I (Mike Adams) am
also open to printing Jonathan Campbell's rebuttal to all this if he wants to contact Truth
Publishing with a response. I want readers to hear both sides on this.)
Dear Waiora Distributors,
I have just read Jonathan Campbell's website where he makes unfounded and malicious
attacks on the use of natural zeolite as a dietary supplement. I would like to address his
points and assure everyone that the Natural Cellular Defense is in fact a completely safe
and non-toxic product that is based on a granted U.S. Patent and supported by dozens
of clinical and epidemiological studies that have been published in the peer-reviewed
medical literature.
As background, it's important to understand that there are more than 100 different
zeolites. As an example, asbestos is a zeolite and causes cancer when inhaled as a fine
powder. The zeolite used in the Natural Cellular Defense is naturally-occurring nonfibrous clinoptilolite and is considered to be extremely safe and entirely non-toxic (even
when inhaled). A study published in 1993 concluded that "clinoptilolite type zeolite had
no carcinogenic activity." (Tatrai E, Ungvary G. Study on carcinogenicity of clinoptilolite
type zeolite in Wistar rats. Pol J Occup Med Environ Health. 1993;6(1):27-34.)
Additionally, Mr. Campbell suggests that there are no long-term animal or human toxicity
studies. This is also incorrect. The zeolite in the Natural Cellular Defense has been used
Natural Cellular Defense and zeolite - is it the next big thing in nutritional therapies for cancer and chronic
disease? - 14
in water filtration, air purification, plant fertilizers and animal feed for more than thirty
years in the United States. There are hundreds of published studies and articles that
outline the uses and benefits of our form of zeolite in humans and animals. Not to
mention that there is over 800 years of traditional use throughout India, China and
Russia. It is quite obvious that Mr. Campbell could not even be bothered to do a Medline
search prior to regurgitating his inaccuracies on the website. Had he done so, he would
have found no fewer than 140 articles on such topics as: removing heavy metals,
improving the health of animals, treating viral disorders, removing fungal toxins,
remediation soil and treating cancer. This search can be accessed at the National
Institutes of Health National Center for Biotechnology Information at the following link:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez (search for "clinoptilolite")
Mr. Campbell also cites a paper on carcinogenicity which incorrectly lists clinoptilolite as
a fibrous zeolite similar to erionite. In a paper on the clinoptilolite's effects on animal
tumors, the researchers found that:
"Electron microscopy showed the absence of fibers, and most particles were round with
very rough surface. The absence of fibrous, positively charged particles was
encouraging since such particles are present in asbestos and erionite zeolites, which are
highly carcinogenic and mutagenic. In addition, activated zeolite particles did not
catalyze the production of hydroxyl radicals, unlike asbestos or erionite. It seems that
absence of fibrous particles capable of producing hydroxyl radicals makes this zeolite
sample nontoxic and noncarcinogenic, at least when applied orally." (Pavelic K, et al
Natural zeolite clinoptilolite: new adjuvant in anticancer therapy. J Mol Med.
2001;78(12):708-20.)
Mr. Campbell also states that there is no evidence of excretion. This too is incorrect and
can be easily researched in the literature. In three separate studies specifically analyzing
the ability of clinoptilolite to aid on the excretion of radioactive cesium particles, the
zeolite was found to accelerate the excretion of Cs-137 from sheep's bodies. The whole
effect resulted in 15 to 50 times lowering of the equilibrium concentration of the
radiocaesium (Jandl J, Novosad J. [In vivo reduction of radiocesium with modified
clinoptilolite in sheep] Vet Med (Praha). 1995 Aug;40(8):237-41.)
Additionally, we are currently evaluating the Natural Cellular Defense in its ability to aid
in the urinary excretion of heavy metals. This research is being conducted by Eno
Research & Development (ERDI) in North Carolina in cooperation with Duke University
staff. The study aims to quantify the type and amount of heavy metals that are excreted
from patients using the product. We have already seen some promising results and
expect the study to be completed in the first quarter of 2006 and we will seek publication
of the data.

disease? - 15
Mr. Campbell's next point is that he claims the clinoptilolite zeolite to be indiscriminate in
what it adsorbs. This too is incorrect. There are dozens of published studies that outline
the reactivity series of the zeolite, showing preference for the heavier metals and larger
compounds that carry a positive charge. Many smaller compounds will move into the
zeolite, but will not be trapped. These undergo simple buffering and are released back
into the body. The ability of the zeolite to undergo cationic exchange has shown that
there is a reproducible, quantifiable reactivity series. Additionally, several animal studies
have shown that adding clinoptilolite to animal feed actually increases overall nutritional
health of the animal. One study found that "clinoptilolite supplementation of the diets had
no significant effect on vitamins' and minerals' uptake and their distribution in the body,
since there was no alteration in their blood serum and liver/kidney concentrations."
(Papaioannou DS, et al. Effect of in-feed inclusion of a natural zeolite (clinoptilolite) on
certain vitamin, macro and trace element concentrations in the blood, liver and kidney
tissues of sows. Res Vet Sci. 2002 Feb;72(1):61-8.)
I would also like to point out that the patent on the Natural Cellular Defense and all of the
related research was conducted by biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. This
had nothing to do with zeolite mining companies as Mr. Campbell suggests.
Lastly, you should always ask why someone would take the time to write a diatribe like
the one seen on Mr. Campbell's website. He answers this question himself by supplying
a link to his own answer to natural cancer therapy. If you follow this link, it will lead to his
offer to sell you his books, products and services. He actually charges $60 for your initial
order of supplements and $20 per month thereafter just for his consulting services. He
clearly states that, "Note that this charge is for the ordering service only, and does not
include the cost of the supplements, which range in price between $100 and $300 per
month, depending on the illness."
Always question the source of inflammatory material. Do your due diligence and review
published literature from uninterested, unbiased third parties.
I hope that this information is helpful.
Sincerely,
Rik J. Deitsch President, Wellness Industries; Chairman, Waiora Scientific Advisory
Board
