Marine toxins are naturally occurring chemicals that can contaminate certain seafood. The seafood contaminated with these chemicals frequently looks, smells, and tastes normal. When humans eat such seafood, disease can result.

Although any person eating fish or shellfish containing toxin or disease-causing bacteria may become ill, persons with weakened immune systems or liver problems should not eat raw seafood because of their higher risk of Vibrio infection (see Vibrio FAQ- http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dbmd/diseaseinfo/vibriovulnificus_g.htm). Keep fresh tuna, mackerel, grouper, and mahi mahi refrigerated to prevent development of histamine. Don't believe that cooking spoiled or toxic seafood will keep you safe.

The most common diseases caused by marine toxins in United States in order of incidence are scombrotoxic fish poisoning, ciguatera poisoning, paralytic shellfish poisoning, neurotoxic shellfish poisoning and amnesic shellfish poisoning. Scombrotoxic fish poisoning also known as scombroid or histamine fish poisoning, is caused by bacterial spoilage of certain finfish such as tuna, mackerel, bonito, and, rarely, other fish.

Bodily toxins are substances that are detrimental to health. Pollutants, uric acid, excess vitamins and minerals, are among some of the common bodily toxins. Toxins come from a variety of sources. Among the most common are chemicals in the food we eat, the pollution in the air we breathe, the harmful substances from smoking and drinking, and as a by-product of the body’s metabolism.

Marine conservation is essentially the act of saving our seas for future generations. The word conservation is often misunderstood to mean improving the present conditions, but it works only when all threats are taken away, forever. Conservation is thus impossible without knowing what threatens the environment.

A marine reserve is an MPA (Marine Protected Area) that enjoys very high levels of protection and continuity (no-taking, forever, without discontinuity). The idea behind such reserves is that they are in principle able to recover to a more natural state, and hopefully even to a pristine state as if human influence had never occurred. It is a very noble and exciting endeavour.

PCBs, dioxins, phthalates, DDT, and furans are just some of the chemicals that are commonly found in human tissue and blood. A 2003 study by Mt.

Micro-toxins are microscopic pollutants that inhabit your mattress, pillow and bedding. Examples include dust mites, their feces, mold and other harmful allergens. Inhaling these can cause nighttime breathing problems for many people, and can trigger symptoms in allergy and asthma sufferers.

Findings indicate that many children with autism or those who are at risk of developing autism have a metabolic impairment that reduces their ability to rid their bodies of heavy metals and other toxins. Build-up of these toxins in the body can lead to brain and nervous system damage and developmental delays (see We’re Loaded with Toxins: Analyzing the Toxic Body Burden of Americans by Judy Chinitz Gorman).

Ignoring body toxins can cause poor health, illness and disease. Today's lifestyles do not support the body's ability to naturally remove toxins. The body's immune system has been compromised through the accumulation of toxins. It is important that toxins be removed regularly to insure and maintain good health.

The zeolite in solution attracts and traps positively charged particles that fit into the pores and channels of the zeolite cage. These include heavy metals, nitrosamines, and some viral particles. Most pharmaceuticals, herbicides, and hormone mimetics are either uncharged or negatively charged, and so have little affinity with zeolite. However, liquid zeolite does appear to have an indirect effect on these compounds.

The various color(s) are relevent to each individual based on the toxins in their body and other health issues particular to that person. Please refer to "Detox Results" in this website.

Traditional Oriental Medicine has long held that the body is connected by meridians and that access to these meridians causes a flow of energy (chi) through the acupuncture points on the outside of the body. If we stimulate an acupuncture point it will activate energy (chi) in the body corresponding to internal points thus bringing strength to weak areas of the body. The foot is considered the second most sensitive area of your body next to your heart.

You can do costly lab tests measuring the toxins in your blood, feces, urine, and even hair. But if you're an average U.S. citizen, you probably have about 90 industrial chemicals inside your body. The Environmental Working Group, the most thorough and extensive non-profit environmental watchdog group in the U.S., recently conducted a survey in which they found 91 chemicals, pesticides, and other toxins inside each of the bodies of nine randomly selected individuals.

Toxins are present in our food, drinks and even in the air we breath. Read the 'About Toxicity' section of this website for more information.

Many sources claim 11 toxins in paraffin. We're sure 7 are more than enough for us. The State of California lists at least seven major toxins in paraffin wax, including toluene, benzene, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), and naphthalene--substances found in paint, lacquer and varnish removers. See more health issues at the end of this page.

Detoxification is the body’s natural process for eliminating or neutralizing toxins via the liver, the kidneys, perspiration, and exhalation. Ever since the industrial revolution and the post-World War II petrochemical industry, toxins have been accumulating in the human body faster than they can be eliminated. The body absorbs toxins from our environment. The toxins include such things as industrial chemicals, pesticides, food additives, heavy metals, tobacco, and air pollution.

The accumulation of toxins results in poor health as manifested by weakness, pains and aches, a less efficient immune system, which in time will result in sickness or disease. Thus, it is very important that bodily toxins should be removed regularly to maintain good health.

In today's world of processed foods and pollution, toxic substances exist almost everywhere. They are in the food you eat, the water you drink (from fertilizers, chemicals and other additives such as colorings and preservatives), and the air you breathe (from automobile emissions, pesticides and industrial pollutants). Some of the body's own compounds must be detoxified as well.

The detox wrap acts just like a giant poultice on the body entering through your pores to reach the toxins held beneath the skin. Many toxins come back through and are soaked up by the bandages, the others are flushed out of your system by drinking the recommended amount of water. NOTE: The clay is highly concentrated. The inch loss continues for the next few days and the solution does not need to be washed off.

Some do but the only marine part actually needed is a marine air filtration system. Automotive filters do not hold up in a marine environment. American Airboats routinely replaces exposed parts with more corrosion resistant ones but this is more cosmetic than absolutely necessary. Everything else is standard with the automotive industry. This means that if a fuel pump goes out, you can pick one up at the local auto parts store. (Not so easy with an aircraft engine).

A Marine Protected Area is an area in the sea where some protection applies, but usually not complete protection. There can be many reasons for protecting an area in the sea, not just to manage fishing, but to allow activities to proceed without intervention of the public, like bombing practice areas, mining areas, oil exploration areas, navigational wrecks, ammunition dumps, and so on.
