This is installment #3 of The Mail Bag.  In this installment, we answer questions about colloidal metals, hydrogen peroxide, free radicals, silica, Vitamin D supplementation, D.M.S.O, the type of mercury used in vaccines, and the smoke-and-mirrors used by vaccine proponents to make vaccines seem safe.

"What other kind of metals can be beneficial?  I've heard of colloidal gold, but never really researched on what that is supposed to be good for."

Colloidal gold improves the concentration, and has been shown in at least one study to increase the I.Q. (dramatically in several subjects).  Colloidal copper is especially good for the skin, increasing both the elastin and collagen that it produces.  It is believed that lots of people may be deficient in copper, due to our depleted soils; although large amounts can quickly become toxic.

"In regard to the hydrogen peroxide, is the hydrogen peroxide typically bought in stores (usually in a brown bottle) okay to use?  I have heard from some sources that these may contain elements which are unhealthy."

We consider store-bought hydrogen peroxide to be okay to use, and it does not contain any intentional additives.  There are others who strongly disagree; but in our opinion, the traces of impurities found in retail hydrogen peroxide are negligible for occasional consumption.

Food grade hydrogen peroxide, which others often recommend, usually comes at a higher concentration, and its purity is assured.  High purity would be important for extreme cases, like when an I.V. is used.  Normally though, we consider regular peroxide to be just fine.  It is worth noting that the highly concentrated food grade peroxide is extremely corrosive, and the massive amount of oxygen it gives off could produce a fire or explosion risk.  It must also be properly diluted in saline by someone knowledgeable enough about bio-chemistry to be safe.

"Should I wait until fizzing has stopped before adding it in the water?  Also, what are the dangers (if any) of oxygen/ozone therapy?  I have read in other places, even from 'alternative' health sites, of people who generally don't recommend this.  If I remember correctly, it was about excess oxygen speeding the aging process, or something to that effect."

If you are making the energizing oxygen drink that we cited in a previous article, then the answer is yes.  You should wait for the fizzing to stop before adding hydrogen peroxide.

The so-called "oxygen damage" of "free radicals" is merely the mis-diagnosis of malnutrition, and nothing proves oxygen (of all things) to be toxic.  For instance, the main things that protect us from those "dangerous free radicals" (from oxygen) are Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and Beta-carotene.  Therefore, there is never an aging problem, oxygen problem, or "free radical problem" in any person who eats a reasonably healthy diet.  Dire results that supposedly stem from "free radicals" are actually from a poor diet that lacks the "anti-oxidants".  This malnutrition does not make oxygen toxic any more than it changes the seasons.  The malnutrition merely prevents the body from properly utilizing oxygen, causing a state of cellular suffocation, and acidosis.  This whole debate expresses the general misunderstanding of fundamental cause and effect relationships.  In fact, it's based on F.D.A. science.  Unfortunately, the "free radical" myth of alternative medicine is as prevalent as the cholesterol scam of 'conventional' medicine.  We realize that many of the competing health sites reporting this stuff have well-intentioned people, but uneducated well-intentioned people often kill other people.

There are no real dangers of oxygen, except for causing a fire hazard in concentrated form.  Too much oxygen in the body is like having too much blood -- it just doesn't happen.  It literally is the breath of life on so many levels.  If you're still worried, however, simply become more vigilant with your diet and your anti-oxidant supplementation.  Any concerns about a slight increase in the aging process should be weighed against the alternatives.  In a lot of cases, this is death through cancer.  Aging is really a non-issue.

"Also, are biotin and niacin good nutrients for hair?  Just curious, as I'll recommend Fo-Ti and Saw Palmetto to my friend."

Biotin (B7) and Niacin (B3) are generally good to supplement with regardless, as are all of the B vitamins.  Biotin is known to assist in hair growth and strength, but I am not aware of the impact of niacin.  A B-complex is generally recommended, but you should first read this article for advice on recognizing synthetic vs. natural vitamins:  http://healthwyze.org/index.php/fake-chemical-vitamins.html.

"Since you brought up silica, I noticed that my toothpaste (Kingfisher) contains an ingredient called hydrated silica.  Is this basically the same thing, and should I stop using it?  We talked before about the Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.  Also, is hydrogen peroxide and baking soda a good alternative to brush your teeth with?"

I couldn't tell you specifically about Kingfisher toothpaste.  We use Tom's of Maine fluoride-free, which also contains hydrated silica, but it is a natural extract.  It is not synthetic, and the amount of the large particle silica that is absorbed through the tissues is likely negligible.  Hydrated silica is used because of its effectiveness at removing plague.  Some hydrated silica is synthetic, so you may wish to look into it.  Hydrogen peroxide and baking soda are both great for your teeth, and the peroxide will whiten them.  You can buy some toothpaste which contains them for convenience, or make your own.  We do not recommend using baking soda daily, because it is more abrasive than the gentler abrasives that are found in most tooth pastes.

"I have heard that Vitamin C, D, and D3 can be beneficial with the flu, and possibly the "swine flu".  I'm assuming that all of these are beneficial with it, but I'm just curious as to which one you may consider to be the most beneficial?  I know that you can get Vitamin D3 from the sun, but we are starting to have less sun in this area. Would a Vitamin D3 capsule be okay to use?"

We don't even discuss the "Swine Flu" anymore.  It has become merely a joke with us.  It was an experiment in bio-terrorism and population control that failed miserably.  Thank God.

There has been a lot of debate over vitamin D in capsule form, and there is evidence that some people can not absorb it properly.  However, the majority can, and if sunlight is not really possible, then supplementation is a wise choice.  Out of the options you provided, vitamin C is probably the best vitamin for resisting the flu; but no pill is enough to keep you well throughout the winter.  Eat well, avoid processed foods, avoid artificial sugars (including "white" sugar), get a little healthy fat in your diet (especially Omega-3), use sea salt, use topical iodine, avoid soft drinks, get exercise, and take a food-based multivitamin, along with vitamin C, and you should do well.

"In regard to colloidal silver, if you were to get the flu, how much would you recommend taking to help with it?  I have "Advanced Colloidal Silver" from Utopia Silver, and it has 20 ppm of silver.  Also, I am prone to ear infections, and just curious as to how the silver could be used in this situation.  Would I just ingest it, or; could I drop some of it into the infected ear?  Also, are you aware of ways to heal scar tissue, as I have been told by doctors that my one ear drum has some major scarring (the other one seems to be fine)?"

We also use that brand of colloidal silver, and are personal friends with the company's owner, Ben Taylor.  We wrote about his struggles against the F.D.A. in issue 2 of Naturally Good Magazine, and you can listen to him (and us) discuss it in episode 1 of the audio edition of The Health Wyze Report.

We take around 1 tablespoon four or five times a day for the treatment of infections, which usually eliminates them before they get a foothold.  Hydrogen peroxide is generally the best thing to eliminate an ear infection quickly, but it needs to be inserted as soon as symptoms present themselves.  Pour about a capful directly into the ear.  D.M.S.O. is often used for healing scar tissue, but it may not be safe for the inner ear.  We feel it would be irresponsible for us to recommend it for any internal use.  Please review our precautionary statements about D.M.S.O. in the article: http://healthwyze.org/index.php/naturally-curing-milia.html.  Some claim that taking vitamin C capsules reduces such scarring.  This is not something that we have studied ourselves, but it could be worthy of research.

"I noticed one of your most recent articles, and visited the website that you listed (http://www.aspartame.ca), and noticed it had some things about detoxifying from aspartame.  Would you consider the methods of detoxification that it lists to be effective?"

We agree with their recommendation to change one's diet to relieve the burden on the liver, and a follow-up liver cleanse would be prudent.  However, we do not believe that the new generation of homeopathic remedies are effective, and may in many cases cause harm.  There are several effective liver cleanses which you may purchase at a health food store, but you should read the ingredients carefully before purchasing.  Avoid chemical additives where possible.

"Also, I recently stumbled on something what states that when triclosan (often found in hand soaps and toothpaste) combines with chlorine (found in tap water), it can form chloroform?  Have you ever heard of this, and if so, what do you think of it?  Here is a web page with the article... http://www.naturalnews.com/017804_triclosan_toothpaste_toxic_chemicals.html"

I have not previously heard this, or looked into it, but it would not be particularly surprising.  Dangerous chemicals can be found in many cosmetic products, along with soaps.  We use a policy of; if you couldn't eat it, then don't put it on your skin.  This is a wise policy, because either way, the stuff usually reaches your blood.

"Finally, I have often heard pro-vaccination people say that people do not know the difference between ethylmercury and methylmercury, when referring to people who often do not get them because of the mercury which is in them.  They never seem to explain why they are different.  Therefore, are you aware of the differences (if any) between  the two?  I have often wondered this myself, but what about the mercury that is often, if not always, in fish?"

Methylmercury is used only in industrial settings, whilst ethylmercury is used in vaccines.  Vaccine proponents claim that only methylmercury is bioaccumulative (stays in the body permanently), though very few studies have ever been published about this topic, which is likely intentional -- if you know what I mean.  In any case, whenever mercury is placed directly inside the blood stream, the immediate harm to the brain is undeniable.  This is very well documented, regardless of whatever smoke-and-mirrors or slight-of-hand they throw at us to suggest that mercury is harmlessly excreted by the body.  There is nothing harmless about it -- ever.

In regards to fish, it often contains small amounts of mercury, but it also contains its antidote, selenium; which removes heavy metals.  In nature, toxins usually appear with their antidotes in the right proportions, leading us to conclude that God is a much more competent bio-chemist than these guys are.
