Secrets to blocking mercury: Top foods that capture dietary mercury
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Get ready!
We're going to block some mercury from being absorbed through your gastrointestinal tract this hour.
We'll also talk about the miracle of water and structuring it.
It's exciting stuff.
We had a great hour already.
Super Don and I, we're going to talk amongst ourselves with you all out there.
And lo and behold, the best day ever got even better.
Because Mike Adams, the health ranger, is here from Natural News, naturalnewsradio.com, of course, and a big breakthrough from the Natural News Forensic Food Lab.
And what is it?
It's there are dietary substances that can block the absorption of dietary mercury.
This is huge news.
This is big news.
And he's here to break it with us right now.
The health ranger, Mike Adams, back on the Robert Scott Bell Show.
Hi, Robert.
Hey, it's great to join you, as always.
And, yeah, we have some very, very good, positive information to release today.
I'm so thrilled about this.
You can't imagine.
I mean, how often, how long have we been focusing on the heavy metal issue, even before you were breaking this big news through the new lab that you have?
But the reality is that we have, you know, a lot more tools, a lot more understandings of pathways of absorption, excretion, but particularly how to block Yeah, absolutely.
And is my voice coming through okay?
Great.
Okay, perfect.
So let me break it down for the listeners because the big news that's really fascinating and really simple is that of all the substances that I tested in the lab for binding with dietary mercury, the number one simple food is a fruit known as strawberry.
And strawberries have these little translucent fibers that are really unique to strawberries because they have seeds on the outside and so they have these connective tissues that connect the seeds on the outside to the center of the strawberry where more of the growth occurs.
And so these fibers have some very unique properties.
There are two things I noticed in the lab right away on these fibers.
Number one, they clog up the nebulizer to the instrument.
It's always been fun, trying to unclog the nebulizer.
But the second thing is that they absorb mercury like crazy.
And we were able to document 95% mercury reduction in a simulated Gastric acid solution that simulates human digestion.
So in other words, if we would add mercury to gastric acid and then put some strawberries in there and digest it, shake it up and let it do its digestion thing, you know, with hydrochloric acid like you'd have in your stomach, and then if you filter out the strawberry particles and you're left with just the liquid, the liquid has 95% of the mercury gone.
That's pretty amazing.
It's huge.
It's huge news.
Now, Ken, just to validate for those eggheads out there, the gastrointestinal mimicking, if you will, within the lab setting, you talk about HCL. Are there any arguments from naysayers that say, oh, it's not the same and that it's not applicable?
I just want to get that set up because I know it's important that what you're identifying is going to work for folks that are using it in that real-world scenario.
Well, sure.
You know, it's funny.
There have been some critics of my laboratory testing.
None of them run labs.
So my answer would be, if you disagree with these findings, I invite you to buy your own inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer and run results for yourself and see what you get.
Maybe you'll get 92% or 98%.
Let's see your results first.
So the truth is that this is a very, very accurate process.
The instrumentation is rock solid.
Very, very expensive to put this together.
I'm extremely well trained in this process.
And this has been confirmed.
You know, I've done this with over a thousand substances.
So I can tell you the spectrum of what works and what doesn't work for mercury.
And by the way, along those lines, what's better than strawberries is peanut butter.
And what's better than peanut butter, and this is a surprise, is hemp protein.
And I don't know why it's better, but I found this to be true across multiple brands of hemp protein.
And then the number one is chlorella.
And, you know, chlorella has always had a reputation for binding with certain heavy metals, and it's true with mercury.
But, just so you don't think I'm just plugging chlorella because we happen to have some, chlorella is terrible at binding with lead, and it's terrible at binding with arsenic, and it's terrible at binding with cadmium.
And it works with mercury and some aluminum and some uranium.
That's what chlorella is good at.
So it's very important when people learn this information.
That they understand that each substance, whether it's a superfood or a fruit or a vegetable or a fiber, each substance has its own unique profile.
Some things are really good at binding with mercury, and others aren't.
Some things are great at binding with lead, but others aren't.
You can't just lump all heavy metals into one group and say, yeah, it removes heavy metals.
It doesn't really work like that.
Well, if you're just wanting to do a feel-good approach, you throw the kitchen sink of everything in and you say, well, I hope it works.
But what you're providing is a pathway and a way to not only strategize but actually implement a strategy that can address all of the known and perhaps some of the unknown but certainly the known factors that are contributing to the downturn of life, turning life into a chronic degradation disease with all of the environmental and pollution-type obstacles we have.
Absolutely.
And there is mercury in a lot of your food.
People know this.
There's mercury in tuna fish.
It's kind of famous for that.
There's mercury in ocean fish, because the oceans are polluted.
There's mercury in seafood.
There's mercury in a lot of sushi.
In fact, mercury levels are crazy through the roof in some sushis.
We also tested some pet treats that are very high in mercury.
One in particular was a cat treat, a cat snack, that I think it was based on a whitefish.
I can find out the details later in our records, but it was over 500 parts per billion mercury.
In other words, 0.5 parts per million, which is very, very high for mercury.
It shouldn't even be one-tenth of that.
So people are poisoning their cats, and we all know sometimes people's pet cats are crazy.
Right, right.
And now we have a reason.
They're mad as a hatter.
That's funny because just last week we covered the story out of Portland, Oregon where this family's cat went crazy and locked them in a bedroom with their dog and they had to call 911 because the cat was so out of control.
I heard that story, and I thought I saw a follow-up where they were going to have the cat sent to counseling.
Yes, exactly.
What it really needed was chelation therapy.
And now, on today's Dr.
Phil show, the cat.
Yeah, well, that makes a lot of sense.
Also, a lot of the cats end up later in life, and sometimes earlier, with kidney urinary tract problems.
Mercury plays havoc on the urinary system, the kidneys.
Mercury is very bad for kidneys.
You're absolutely right.
And If you think about this, you're getting mercury from multiple sources.
So it's not just that there's mercury in your food, which now we know that can be blocked, okay?
But there's other burdens of mercury that you really can't protect yourself against except by avoidance.
So there's still mercury in vaccines, in flu shots.
There's still mercury in the air because of the coal-fired power plants from China that are really, really dirty, and that's blowing over to North America.
There's mercury from forest fires because when the trees burn, they release the mercury that they absorb from the air.
In fact, forest fires contribute a lot of mercury.
There's even mercury, guys, from cremation.
You know, when our parents and grandparents and relatives die and they've got mercury filling in their teeth and they get cremated, it releases mercury into the air.
And that falls on soils and that goes into your food.
Or you can just breathe it in.
So there's mercury all around you.
And if we can eliminate one of the primary vectors of exposure, which is dietary, then we can be safer.
We can improve our health and we can possibly reduce the overall risk of mercury toxicity and allow our bodies to more efficiently handle the other sources of exposure, which are significant.
Yeah, and taking one out of the equation is significant.
Every bit, because toxicology has everything to do with the form of the metal and the quantity.
And if you remove one offending aspect or inroad, you are going to give your body a fighting chance to get rid of the others if you use strategies that we talk about here.
You write about there on Natural News as well.
And that's an important thing.
It's only a TSA agent will say, well, you've got to die of something.
I'm not going to do anything, right?
But that's not us.
No, I mean, we know that the body has natural detoxification pathways.
The liver is very effective at this.
The kidneys are involved.
Glutathione is very important.
There are dietary supplements out there like N-acetylcysteine, NAC. It's very important for us.
There are homeopathic remedies that you talk about.
The body can eliminate, but...
Many people have compromised elimination pathways either from genetic factors or because they're nutritionally deficient.
So if you're lacking vitamin D, for example, your liver can't function at its full capacity to process toxins in your blood and remove them from your body.
And the other thing, this is why dietary mercury blocking is so important.
If you think about it, when your liver is processing substances, Out of your blood.
Where does it dump those into?
It dumps them into your upper gastrointestinal tract.
And, you know, gallbladder.
And from your stomach.
And you've got these multiple sources meeting in your upper gastrointestinal tract where mercury could be dumped.
Well, guess what?
It's going to get reabsorbed in your body.
Don't block it at that point.
And this was actually emphasized by the CDC in their discussion of Prussian blue.
Prussian blue is a prescription drug that blocks radioactive cesium-137.
And the explanation from the CDC and the FDA was that Prussian blue blocks the reabsorption of cesium isotopes that are pulled out of your blood and dumped into your GI tract.
Yeah, it's a fascinating completion of the picture when you understand that.
And this is why I emphasize and discuss so much about gastrointestinal epithelial integrity.
Because even the microflora play a role.
Like candida can overgrow mercury molecules to protect you.
And folks that are trying to kill candida and are not eating a lot of refined sugars and can't get rid of the candida, I'm saying, look at your mercury burn.
These microbes know what they're doing.
The body knows what it's doing.
There's not a mistake here.
And thank God Mike Adams is here to bring some more strategies and substances to the world.
A lot of stuff you don't have to buy from him or us or me.
You can go out and get some strawberries.
Start growing your strawberries.
Get some organic peanut butter.
But we will talk about some other things that are in development as well because the radioactivity is always a concern for us here.
Stick around.
Mike Adams is going to hang out with us in another segment.
The Health Ranger is on.
We're streaming live through naturalnewsradio.com.
Thanks to our syndicator as well at GCN. Rocking the health world like nowhere else in broadcast media.
Stop that, Mercury.
Live around the world.
The Robert Scott Bell Show.
As you can hear, the only heavy metal we're into is on the bumpers of the Robert Scott Bell Show.
Other than that, we're blocking the heavy metals, we're removing the heavy metals, and guess who's helping us to do that right now?
It's Mike Adams, the health ranger, back from the Natural News Forensic Food Lab, as well as NaturalNews.com.
There's a fluoride story out of Illinois.
Mike, I don't know if you saw this, but I think the government of Illinois is just congratulating all the municipalities that are keeping those fluoride levels high.
That's funny.
Again, a lot of scientific ignorance out there about what is called fluoride.
They can take a toxic stew of heavy metals and chemicals and industrial waste, and as long as it's got a little bit of fluorine in it, they can call it fluoride and dump it into the water.
It's really sad.
It just speaks to the lack of scientific knowledge In the executive branches of local government, they think if it's called fluoride, that's all it is.
They don't understand fluoride can be mixed with other toxins.
Yeah, health officials are recognizing 430 Illinois communities for maintaining state-mandated fluoride levels in drinking water.
Does that explain a lot about politicians from Illinois?
No.
Yeah, Illinois, man.
Illinois is a whole different world these days from what I remember visiting it when I was much younger.
It was more of a free place and a healthy place with lots of farms and rural areas and good people.
And now it's like the Chicago effect.
Those people there are taking over the state for the worse.
Oh, I know.
And we've got to go there in May for the Autism One conference, but we're certainly going to be bringing a lot of this information from the Natural News Forensic Food Lab for the folks there with the kids, which we know have been harmed by vaccines and other environmental sources of mercury and other heavy metals.
Oh, yeah.
Actually, I'm putting together an article on the top food that autistic children should eat to block dietary mercury.
It's basically just a reworking of the same data I put out today, but just kind of tailored for autistic children.
Nice, nice.
So, what other things can we look forward to?
You know, Ty at Bollinger and I have written about some things we're anticipating and exciting about with the breakthroughs there.
But we also want to, you know, have access to making it easy for folks to block, you know, to be able to travel with things.
And, you know, just it's hard enough to avoid, you know?
Right.
Absolutely.
Well, I've finished a lot of research and I've developed solutions that are going to be coming out sometime here.
I don't know exactly what day or week.
But there are natural solutions to blocking radioactive cesium in your food and also blocking lead.
And blocking mercury like I introduced today.
And wherever possible, I am informing people of things that they can do right now, or simple things.
They don't have to go buy chlorella, for example, to block mercury.
You can just eat strawberries.
You know, you can eat peanut butter and you can block mercury.
You've got to eat it at the same time that you're eating the mercury, of course.
You can't have a bunch of fish and then two hours later say, oh, I'm going to have some peanut butter to block that mercury.
It doesn't work that way.
Well, and I do want to point out one thing here.
In the diversity of your results on your testing here, because you tested a lot of good things here, but you also tested things like corn pop cereal.
And then coming in last on the list here, apparently if you want to try and block mercury in your diet, you do not want to rely on Red Bull.
That was my first choice.
Red Bull, of course.
That's great.
We had a number of products that rated zero, and they were mostly beverages.
So essentially soda, any kind of a soda drink will also rate a zero.
Interesting.
But even look above that, the Suja apple cucumber juice, which is a very healthy organic juice, and it's great in what it does, but because it's juice, it doesn't have the fiber.
Right.
The fiber's critical here.
Exactly.
So it only scores 10%, whereas peanut butter is 96%.
So everybody out there that's drinking juice, you've got to understand what juice is good for and what it's not good for.
And juice...
You know, juicing fruits and vegetables is great for preventing chronic disease, and it's great for cleansing and detox and lots of things, but it's not good at binding with heavy metals because the fiber is not there.
Yeah, that makes sense, right?
Well, it does.
It makes sense.
It's a critical component.
You know, when we've talked about the strange diet claims out there in the world that, you know, have some legitimacy, and then they'll say, well, fiber could be dangerous for you.
Avoid it at all costs, and we know somebody's lost their mind.
Really?
Does anybody say that fiber is dangerous?
Well, we've covered some extremes within the paleo movement that are not really honoring the true concept of paleo eating that have said, you know, you want to avoid fiber because it could be bad for your intestines.
I mean, there are bizarre claims.
I'm not saying everybody says that, but we'll tend to point out some of those voices that are kind of off the rocker.
Well, you know, I mean, the paleo diet is a high-fiber diet.
Yeah, well, in reality it is.
It's just some people got deranged on it and didn't know what they were saying.
So, anyway, Mike, how awesome was it that you dropped in today?
We are so grateful.
Thank you.
Yeah, thanks for having me on.
It's good to be here.
You got it.
Thanks.
We're streaming live through naturalnewsradio.com.
Archives are all there as well after the show.
And, of course, thanks to our syndicator GCN as well.
And you can check out the Natural News Forensic Foods Lab.
We've got them linked up in the show notes as well.
So, rocking the health world, drinking some good water after the break.
Who'd you say that masked man was?
It's a bird!
It's a bird!
