Common questions answered about Natural Cellular Defense Frequently Asked Questions What is Natural Cellular Defense? Natural Cellular Defense (NCD) is a 100% natural liquid detoxifier formulated from purified, activated zeolite. One of the few negatively charged minerals in nature, zeolite is formed from the fusion of volcanic lava and ocean water. It has a unique crystalline structure that functions at the cellular level like a cage. Zeolite draws in toxins like a magnet, trapping them in its cage-like molecular structure, and then eliminating them from the body. Its unique ability to remove dangerous toxins is well documented. It has three key benefits: • Detoxification – Natural Cellular Defense has a chelation-like effect in removing heavy metals (particularly lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic) and other toxins from the body. • Balancing pH levels – It helps to establish an optimal pH (between 7.35 and 7.45). • Supporting a healthy immune system. In addition, the research and clinical reports on zeolite are very impressive, and suggest that Natural Cellular Defense • Improves liver function. • Appears to have a unique mechanism of action against cancer cells. • Appears to block viral replication. • According to testimonials, promotes a sense of well-being, clarity, and happiness. • Increases energy and general health, according to anecdotal reports. • Appears to capture triggering antigens, which cause allergies, migraines, and asthma, decreasing the rate and severity of these symptoms. • Eliminates excess glucose, and buffers blood glucose levels. • Improves nutrient absorption in the digestive tract. • Balances digestive pH, reducing acid reflux. • Acts as a potent antioxidant, absorbing free radicals and decreasing free radical damage to the body. Zeolite has been used for 800 years throughout Asia as a traditional remedy to promote overall health and well-being, and for 30 years in the U.S. in animal feed. It has also undergone 13 years of pharmaceutical research in the U.S. with humans. Zeolite is included on the Food and Drug Administration’s GRAS list (generally recognized as safe) and is considered to be “completely safe.” How can Natural Cellular Defense benefit the body in so many ways? Many people, including doctors, have this reaction when they first hear about Natural Cellular Defense. It is hard to believe that any product can have the many profound benefits that appear in the list above. But NCD really is in a class of its own. Rik Deitsch, the head of the Scientific Advisory Board for the company that manufactures NCD, explains that many of the benefits of Natural Cellular Defense are downstream consequences of its primary abilities to detoxify the body and balance systemic pH. Are there any drawbacks or side effects? The only side effect of NCD is dehydration as heavy metal ions are removed from the body. For that reason, it is essential to be well hydrated when taking NCD. Drink at least ½ ounce of pure water for every pound you weigh (typically eight or 10 glasses of water a day). Drinks such as coffee, tea, and soda do not count. Some users experience detoxification symptoms, such as headache, diarrhea, tiredness, or achiness – which are usually mild – when they begin taking NCD. After initial detoxification, most people report feeling better than ever. Biochemist Rik Deitsch believes that, in nine out of 10 cases, these are side effects of dehydration, and most improve when the person drinks enough water. Noting that headaches and muscle cramps are the most common signs of dehydration, he said, “I’ve had about six people tell me that they had leg cramps after they started using NCD. After they began drinking eight to ten glasses of water daily, the cramps went away.”
