How to make alcohol safer for your liver
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Oh man, I'm onto something so big here, so far-reaching in terms of public health.
I don't even know where to begin, but this is...
You know, I've been looking into the NTX technology additive.
It's made from licorice root and mannitol sugar, and it's added to hard liquors like vodka, and it reduces their liver damage significantly.
It makes them safer to drink.
And if you want to look at this, it's ntxtechnology.com.
I've been looking at the patents.
I've been looking at all these documents.
But I was just finishing editing my new book that's coming out.
It's due out later in 2016.
And I've done, you know, because I'm an expert in heavy metals analysis at a laboratory, you know, I run a food forensic laboratory, and I look at metals contamination of foods and beverages.
I was reminded as I was looking at this material of something that just ties into the alcohol and the NTX protective ingredient and the federal government causing millions of people to have liver damage who don't have to have liver damage.
This is huge.
This is a huge story with massive public health implications because remember the federal government, the TTB, Which regulates alcohol will not allow this company to put NTX health claims or even to say that the alcohol is infused with NTX. It's like they don't want people to have safer alcohol to drink.
It's like if they went to the car companies and said, you've got to rip out the seatbelts and the airbags and the anti-lock brakes because we can't have cars that are safe.
That's what they're doing with alcohol now.
The federal government deliberately Arsenic.
Do you know what arsenic is?
Arsenic is, well, it's in many different molecular forms in nature.
There's organic arsenic and inorganic arsenic, but in elemental form, it's one of the heavy metals that's extremely toxic to human beings.
And arsenic is found in chicken products and turkey products that are raised overseas because there's an arsenic-containing drug that That used to be used all across the United States by Tyson Foods, for example, and other companies that would prevent disease in chickens, but it was using arsenic to kind of poison the disease away, if you will.
And I believe the drug, if I remember correctly, was called Roxarsane.
This was causing chicken meat to be sold in America with very high levels of arsenic.
And we're talking about the toxic, inorganic form of arsenic in this case.
I think now Roxarsane has been eliminated from chicken in the United States, but they're using a different drug.
I don't remember the name.
It's another drug that's also based on arsenic.
So there's arsenic in the chicken, but overseas in China and other countries, there are no limits on this drug to be used in chicken and turkey meat.
So if you're getting a lot of the cheap, low-grade chicken meat that you might get at a restaurant, you might get at a buffet, like a Chinese food buffet, for example, or low-cost chicken patties that you buy at the grocery store, you could be eating huge amounts of arsenic.
And what does this have to do with alcohol?
Well, here it is.
Arsenic eliminates or inhibits all the thiol compounds in human metabolism, including glutathione.
Now, what does glutathione have to do with anything?
Glutathione is the body's great detoxifier.
It's a huge part of the detoxification process at a cellular level.
And this is especially true when it comes to alcohol.
So, in fact, glutathione metabolizes alcohol when you consume it, and as long as the supply of glutathione in your body can keep up with the amount of alcohol you're consuming, you can usually detox it.
But when you drink too much, you sort of use up all the glutathione.
It's like the glutathione goes to battle against the alcohol, and eventually you run out of glutathione soldiers.
And when you run out, that's when the alcohol becomes highly, highly toxic to the liver.
This is what causes permanent liver damage, and this is why long-term alcohol drinkers end up with a liver failure or cirrhosis of the liver and so on.
So if you have large amounts of glutathione in the body, then you can usually detox alcohol.
However, because people are eating so much arsenic in chicken and other foods, by the way, there's also trace amounts of arsenic in rice from China.
I'm talking about, I think, a couple hundred parts per billion is what Consumer Reports found maybe a year and a half ago.
If you're combining arsenic in your diet with alcohol consumption, you are using up your glutathione, and this is making you highly vulnerable to liver damage from drinking alcohol.
This company came up with a way And the guy who came up with this, his last name, he's from India, is Chigurupati.
Chigurupati Technologies.
That's who came up with this.
He came up with this ingredient, got it patented as a liver protective molecule.
And has been trying to get this into alcohol products across the world so that people can enjoy their vodka or their whatever spirits.
I don't know what everybody drinks.
I'm not a drinker myself.
But people can enjoy their alcohol and they can have less damage of their liver.
And the federal government has been fighting this company all the way and saying, no, you can't put it in there.
You can't put it on the label.
You can't make health claims.
You can't tell the truth about this.
It's almost as if the government is saying, we want people to be liver damaged.
Now, as even more evidence of that, if you go back to my book, which is coming out in 2016, I'll tell you about that later.
Throughout the book, I talk about all the toxins that are in the foods and the beverages.
I talk about the heavy metals, the pesticides, the herbicides, the benzenes and the sodium benzoates, how they combine with citric acid and they create benzenes, which are Toxic, flammable chemicals.
I talk about all these additives, the artificial food colors, the petrochemical-derived ingredients, and in almost every case, in every chapter of this book, it says, in Europe, they banned this ingredient in 2005 or 2001 or 1996 or whatever.
But in the United States, the FDA says, oh, it's totally safe.
Eat all you want.
Go ahead, drink all that.
Yeah, those benzenes are really, really good for you.
Yeah, how about that carrageenan with some polysorbate 80?
Yeah, just, you know, it kind of blends the thickness of the texture of the almond milk a little more.
But we don't have to list polysorbate 80 on the label.
And yeah, it causes leaky gut syndrome because it reduces the permeability of the intestinal walls, allowing undigested particles and bad bacteria in your gut to directly enter your bloodstream and cause chronic disease.
But the FDA says, oh, no problem.
It's totally safe.
So time and time again, when we look at what causes disease, the federal government keeps it legal in America, even though it's banned in Europe or other countries or Canada even, which is why it's not surprising when we come even though it's banned in Europe or other countries or Canada even, which is why The federal government is out there saying you can't put this into alcohol and claim anything.
You can't even put it on the label.
We don't want alcohol to be safer.
It's just like the FDA saying, we don't want drugs to be safer.
We don't want food to be safer.
We're going to keep aspartame in there.
We're going to keep red number 40 in there, even though it has problems.
We're going to keep all these toxic chemical preservatives and emulsifiers.
By the way, emulsifiers is another big area that you probably haven't heard about.
That's what causes the gut bacteria to...
To go through the intestinal walls and into the bloodstream, we're talking about massive, huge long-term problems from these emulsifiers like polysorbate 80 and used with carrageenan and other ingredients.
And don't even mention trans fatty acids.
This is like poison that the FDA finally, after decades, finally has said, yeah, you've got to get that out of the food supply.
I was warning about trans fatty acids back in the year 2004, telling you it was poison back then.
Ten years later, the FDA finally takes some action on that.
So it is no surprise to me That the federal government doesn't want to make alcohol any safer for you to consume.
I think they want you to have liver damage.
I think they love that because it puts more people on government dependence.
It makes you a victim of the sick care system.
It makes you pay more money to the for-profit drug companies and hospitals and clinics and medical laboratories that make all this money the more you get sick.
They want you to get sick, I think.
I mean, it's the revenue model of the sick care system.
They want you to get sick.
That's how they keep making money.
How are they going to have repeat business if they make you well?
If they keep you healthy, you don't need the doctor.
You don't need the drugs.
You don't need the interventions and the chemotherapy.
So they don't want you to be healthy.
They want you to keep coming back for more.
Yeah, damage your liver.
Damage your kidneys.
Here, take a vaccine shot with mercury in it, too.
That'll get your kidneys damaged very quickly.
And then, yeah, we'll see you pretty soon for some dialysis.
How about that?
Oh, yeah, damage your liver.
We'll do some liver enzyme blood tests for you.
Or maybe we'll mark you down for a liver transplant.
There's a scam.
They get the family, somebody who died, to give up their liver for free.
And then the medical system makes millions of dollars transplanting that liver into you.
They don't want you to have a healthy liver.
They don't want you to have two healthy kidneys, or even one for that matter.
They don't want you to have a healthy neurology.
They want to make money off your dementia and your Alzheimer's and hope you forget everything that you knew so that you don't remember any history.
You don't remember what happened.
You don't remember anything.
They just want you to be a victim who's just drugged with your SSRI drugs, your psychiatric drugs, your chemotherapy drip, and totally dependent on the system.
That's what this is about, in my opinion.
And that's why, you know, companies like this, NTX, NTXtechnology.com, we got to highlight these companies.
This is a company trying to solve a problem using a natural medicinal herb, a problem that the government is refusing to see solved.
It's like they really want more Americans to stay sick, which is itself kind of sick in a mental kind of way.
So we've got to highlight these companies that have solutions.
That's why I've talked about silver lungs, for example, and the colloidal silver and its antibacterial properties.
I've talked about Gaia Herbs, for example, and how clean their products are when I test them in the lab.
Super, super clean.
I've also highlighted problems with contaminated foods from China.
You know, I want you to have access to health-promoting products, products that protect your health.
So, unfortunately, the federal government is blocking this right now, so I don't know what you can do.
I don't know, chew on licorice and then have a shot of vodka?
I don't...
I don't even know.
There is no solution here right now because they're blocking it.
Makes me frustrated.
But spread the word on this.
We deserve to have this legal to use in alcohol.
So spread the word.
