Clear Toxins Now! Remove Environmental Toxins and Enjoy Better Health and Mental Clarity
Environmental toxins are a threat to your health, and removing toxic heavy metals from your body may be the single most important step you can take to preserve and protect your health. That’s the premise of Dr. Garry Gordon’s new book, Detox with Oral Chelation—Protecting Yourself from Lead, Mercury & Other Environmental Toxins. It’s good advice, and it’s easier than you might think.
Here’s a quick story ...
In 2006, the residents of the beautiful coastal community of Esperance in Western Australia noticed that the local seabirds were inexplicably dying. This was not just a handful of dead birds, but thousands and thousands of birds. The local officials investigated and determined the birds were dying of acute lead poisoning. Needless to say, the community was concerned. Where was the lead coming from? Was the town’s population at risk?
Later, it became clear that the people were very much at risk. The dead birds saved thousands of human lives by alerting the people to a silent killer in their midst. You see, the birds functioned much like canaries in a coal mine, dying first so the people could see there was a problem …
A few months before the birds began dying, the port of Esperance began receiving trainloads of lead ore from a mine about 500 miles to the north. At the port, the lead ore was transferred from rail cars to ships. Now, because Esperance is located on the coast and faces the Great Southern Ocean, it experiences strong winds for much of the year.

Expert Advice On Oral Chelation!
Let Dr. Garry Gordon's New Book
Show You The Power Of Oral Chelation!
After months of investigation, including testing residents for lead contamination, it was determined that wind blown lead particles had contaminated the town’s air, water and food supplies. The entire town was slowly and unknowingly being poisoned to death with lead! Had it not been for the dying birds, and the discontinuation of the lead ore shipments, the ultimate affect on the people of the town would have been catastrophic.1
And while this may be an extreme example, it still illustrates the point. Environmental toxins are everywhere and can infiltrate your body without your knowledge. You don’t need to live near a lead mine or a windy seaport to be exposed to toxic heavy metals and other environmental toxins. In fact, you would be hard pressed to find a more pristine and picturesque place to live than Esperance. But this story helps demonstrate the fact that no matter where you live, even if it seems pristine, environmental toxins abound. And if you do not remove them from your body, the affect on your health can be disastrous!
Feel better now by removing toxins from your body
Ask yourself this question: Is your mind and body functioning at its best? For most people, the answer is no. Decades of exposure to harmful poisons from our industrial society mean that each and every one of us have accumulated stores of deadly toxins in our bones and organs. Removing these stock piles of poison from your body can have a dramatic, positive impact on your health.
Built up toxins can make you feel sick, tired, achy—and can lead to diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease and a host of others. Imagine how you will feel once you eliminate the toxins that are holding you back.
- Boundless energy—no more sluggishness
- Mental clarity—no more foggy brain or forgetfulness
- Pain free—aches and pains disappear as your body regains its vitality Disease free—as your immune system kicks into overdrive
This is not a pipe dream. You can eliminate toxins from your body—safely, naturally, and inexpensively— but before we get to that, let’s briefly look at ...
The poisons all around us
Due to the industrial revolution and modern farming methods our air, food, and water are already hopelessly contaminated with environmental toxins. Over the last century, the amount of man-made pollution that has infiltrated our food and water supplies is mind-boggling. Unless you are from another planet or have lived in a bubble your entire life, your body is loaded with toxic heavy metals and the threat they pose to your health is REAL.
In fact, the Center for Disease Control recognizes the risk to human health posed by environmental toxins. In 2005, they released the Third National Report on Human Exposure to Environmental Chemicals where they examined 148 chemicals. It is the most extensive assessment ever of exposure of the U.S. population to environmental toxins, and their findings were disturbing. Five percent of the U.S. population aged 20 years and older has cadmium levels in a range that could harm vital organs, and nearly six percent of women of childbearing age had mercury levels that could harm neurodevelopment in the fetus!2
You’ve heard most of this before ... don’t eat too much fish or you will be exposed to toxic levels of mercury. Don’t smoke or breathe second-hand smoke or you will subject yourself to arsenic and cyanide—and ultimately, cancer. Don’t cook with aluminum pans or you may ingest minute particles and risk Alzheimer’s disease.
In Dr. Garry Gordon’s new book, recently published by Smart Publications, he relates a couple of stories that are truly frightening and show the extent of the toxic pollution problem.
For example, Dr. Gordon says a single cabbage that is grown just a hundred yards from a freeway in California can contain a thousand times the safe level of cadmium as a result of being next to the freeway.
He also talks about how cows in New Zealand have been found to have lead poisoning because they grazed on grass by the side of the road. Because New Zealand doesn’t have the most modern refineries, their gasoline is loaded with lead, as is the exhaust from their cars, which gets into the soil, the grass and eventually the cows.
