    A comment on Conversation: Debate: Do vaccines work or are they just another money making tool in a trillion dollar industry?

    Nov 14 2012: Thank you Setfan,

    We have covered this point if you read the other conversations.

    They do work. All good there.

    It is the combined long term effects that are of concern. Should so much aluminium be given at the same time to children under 5 or 6 years of age when their brain and immune sytems have not yet developed fully?

    There are no studies done for combined effects, nor long term effects.

    So ultimately, are they protecting us from one virus yet causing damage that opens us to more problems later in life.
    If so, then they need to be looked at and amended. And if the damage is great, then their use should be questioned too. There are alternatives.

    Nov 14 2012: Dear Linda,
    I believe your theory of needing heat to cause an ionic exchange is questionable. Ever magnetized iron?

    That one assumption is causing the rest to fall. And placing such theories online is not a good idea.

    Do you actually think that there are a group of individuals running about with autistic kids or skin disorders or a host of other symptoms who just want to make money off volcanic rock? Are you serious?

    Rather than just working online, and making assumptions about how things work, contact Touchstone Essentials directly, and ask to talk to Dr. Tracy Holdford the Chief Science Officer who holds the following degrees:

    Ph.D. Inorganic Chemistry
    Ph.D. Organic Chemistry
    Ph.D. Biochemistry
    Ph.D. Nuclear Physics
    Ph.D. Theology & Philosophy

    Then talk to the people who have had their lives change from eating rock.

    Unless you really know how the body works, and that includes biochemistry and bio-energy (biological terrain management) to start with, and add to that the states of mind etc., then stop, listen, get educated, and even try the product (as it is so inert that it should do nothing to your system).

    Then comment.

    Nov 14 2012: Hi Tyler, I am not saying do not vaccinate. So far there is no evidence that multiple vaccinations at a young age do not cause harm.

    There is no evidence or study done that I know of that was made for multiple vaccinations over the first 5-6 years of life, and their effects.

    There are cases of severe side effects, whereby neurological damage is done, appearing after a vaccine shot, so there is certainly cause for thought.

    Nov 13 2012: Thank you Colleen - I see where I am misunderstood.

    What is developed today is based on our belief of how we understand how things are. If we believe we have to fight the bug (germ theory), then we develop drugs/therapies/etc around that core belief. If we believe that we have to enhance the body's ability to fight the bug, then we will take a different drugs/therapies/etc.

    The question would be if the basis of pharmacology is to reduce a symptom, attack a bug, release/suppress a chemical, and in doing so, interfering with the body's ability to function on every level (chemical, biological, bio-energetic/metabolic/etc), with foundations on the 'old' theory, without taking into consideration the effect (long term / combination) on the body.

    If we are to approach health from the viewpoint of removing the pollution/interference etc from the body so that the body would be at its best to perform against the outside environment, then again we follow a different route. That is the basis of the 'newer' paradigm toward healthcare, the 1950's.

    I hope this provides clarity.

    Nov 13 2012: Thank you Peter.
    I am not convinced that they are the sole cause of autism.. by far. I am also not convinced that that are 100% safe either.

    I believe they are safer from 1999 onwards.

    There are however contributing factors that if not found, may predispose a child to autism.

    And certain vaccines containing aluminium I would not consider a safe design, just due to the fact that it is aluminium.

    Thank you for the reference, I appreciate it!

    Nov 13 2012: Dear Linda,

    Good point! In the abstract it states:
    1) ' And it involves only developed countries that use copper plumbing.' Does that mean the study concerned those countries?
    2) The epidemic is associated with the use of copper plumbing, and the taking of copper in multi-mineral supplements - again coper plumbing and I agree that some multi-mineral suppliments are dangerous as they isolate the formula of the 'vitamin' or 'mineral' and expect it to work. I don't think the body is made to work that way..


    An excess of anything can be toxic. International standards for copper in potable water are 1-2ppm depending on country or state.

    Practically all viruses and bacteria (including those that chlorine can not kill) are unable to survive beyond 0.3ppm.

    lake Marathonas in Greece, since 2007 has been using copper to disinfect it's water. It serves 5 million Athenians.

    There are so many safe uses for copper. It has been used for millennia.

    I guess it becomes a question of form and concentration. Copper is an essential trace element in plants and animals, but not some microorganisms. The human body contains copper at a level of about 1.4 to 2.1 mg per kg of body mass.[104] Stated differently, the RDA for copper in normal healthy adults is quoted as 0.97 mg/day and as 3.0 mg/day.

    So we need it, yet too much of it will harm us or even kill us.

    Nov 13 2012: Brilliant Linda,
    Points well made.
    I was reading the white paper on Pure Body and was surprised to find the aluminum aspect. So I kept reading, and have pasted some information for you below:

    The chemical formula for clinoptilolite, a common natural zeolite is: (Na3K3)(Al6Si40)O96 • 24H2O
    For clinoptilolite, atoms or cations (charged metal atoms) within the second set of parentheses
    (aluminum and silicon) are known as structural atoms, because with oxygen they make up the
    rigid framework of the structure. This is why the form of aluminum in zeolites is completely
    inert and does not react or release in the body in any way.

    Those within the first set of parentheses (sodium and potassium) are known as exchangeable
    ions, because they can be replaced (exchanged) more or less easily with other cations in
    aqueous solution, without affecting the aluminosilicate framework. This phenomenon is known
    as ion exchange, or more commonly cation exchange.

    The negative charges of the AlO4 units are balanced by the presence of four-exchangeable, positively charged metals known as cations. These cations usually consist of calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium. These ions are only loosely held and can be readily displaced by other substances, such as toxic heavy metals or other organics

    The clinoptilolite binds a variety of toxins. This includes heavy metals (Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, etc.), nitrosamines, and others. Cationic exchange is an entirely passive process—when the zeolite is in close proximity to these high-affinity compounds, they will be drawn to the zeolite and either absorbed into the cage or adsorbed onto the surface of the zeolite. There is no chemical activity in this process.

    I have the white paper link here:
    https://www.mytouchstoneoffice.com/uploads/cms/docs/White_Paper_PureBodyEX.pdf

    So this is for the PureBody, that I will postulate as a passive detox substance.

    The other product is NDF and would regard that as an active detox product. More later...

    Nov 13 2012: Sadly, that may be the truth.

    Nov 13 2012: Dear Rita and Linda,

    I so appreciate the fresh air of ideas you have joined in with!

    I think we are all so different and that expansion for one may be contraction for the other, as it seems to indicate above! That is beautiful!

    How about the combination of science and art?

    Would you say cooking is an art? Or a science?

    I invite you both to enjoy this video below:

    Nov 12 2012: Dear Colleen,

    I don't understand your 'outdated' issue. Please explain.

    I think you are reading my message and taking it on the wrong way.

    I am looking at health and what interferes with it. I have to consider environment, psychology, habits, history, studies, etc. You want to look at case reviews pertaining to a single factor, in this case chemo. We are just looking differently and that is ok.

    I am not trying to 'lecture you on that one' or anything else. Sorry if it became personal, as it is not meant to be.
