Metals cause some of the most hidden health problems on the planet. Do you actually know what is in your water?? Yes, Aluminium. It can cause havoc with the skin, and can be responsible for Eczema, Dry Skin and Contact Dermatitis. Aluminium is a hidden danger and is found in water, aluminium cooking foil, cooking pans, deodorants, bleached flour, table salt and baking flour. Aluminium can affect the brain and slows learning, is this one of the causes of Alzheimer’s?

Aluminium is also found in processed cheese, is masked as anti-caking agents in food.

“Large numbers of people in our aluminium-using society are the victims of slow aluminium poisoning” wrote Stephen E Levick, MD of the Yale University School of Medicine, and said that there has been an increasing amount of literature implicating aluminium as the cause of dementia or mental deterioration.

Parasites, Protozoa, Prions and Mycotoxins

A Parasite is any organism living in or on any living creature, while causing damage to the host, either human or animal. Prions are usually CJD, Mad Cow etc.; Mycotoxins can appear in the food chain as a result of fungal infection of crops, either by being eaten directly by humans or by being used as livestock feed. Mycotoxins greatly resist decomposition or being broken down in digestion, so they remain in the food chain in meat and dairy products. Even temperature treatments, such as cooking and freezing, do not destroy Mycotoxins.

Parasites are most commonly acquired by eating contaminated meat (very common), swallowing eggs on food, contamination through infected water, and even just by sitting on grass where a dog has fouled and the faeces have disappeared but left minute traces on the grass heads. Some of the most common are the Ascaris family and are found in those people who have cats and dogs and can cause skin problems, gut pain, diahorrea and respiratory problems. Other parasites can cause coughing, chest pains, quick and rapid weight loss, dysentery type symptoms, tiredness, muscle pains and liver problems.
