See if there is an improvement to your health.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If the bulbs are in the barn, observe the changing &amp;quot;attitude&amp;quot; of the animals before, during use and after replacement. &amp;nbsp;This can be really telling. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another thought is if you are using these energy saving bulbs in a greenhouse how are the plants responding? &amp;nbsp;Growing? &amp;nbsp;Food tasting?&lt;/p&gt;

It's honeycomb framework of cavities and channels (like cages) works at the cellular level trapping, heavy metals and toxins. In fact, because it is one of the few negatively charged minerals in nature, zeolites act as magnets drawing toxins to it, capturing them in its cage and removing them from the body.&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;They say that &amp;quot;powdered forms of specific zeolites have been used as traditional remedies throughout Asia to promote overall health and well being.&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;I am wondering what specific zeolites these are. &amp;nbsp;A neighboring cattle farmer tells me zeolites are a supplement given to cattle and that it is inexpensive. &amp;nbsp;My drops are not inexpensive at all. &amp;nbsp;So I'm thinking they are probably different in some way. &amp;nbsp;The label says 3 drops contains: aluminosilicate zeolite (clinoptilolite) 24 mg &amp;nbsp; 4,5 di-cyclo, disilico, dimagnesium, dialumino, oxyo, trihydrate. &amp;nbsp;So, Dr. Mercola, can you maybe discuss zeolites in some future article? &amp;nbsp;Would this product be helpful to children with autism? &amp;nbsp;Or pregnant women?&lt;/p&gt;

I see the dangers of vaccines. I don't have children. I would like to not vaccinate them. I would like that to be my choice. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, we have a rise of illegal aliens(undocumented immigrants) entering this country, and we have no way of monitoring their health before they get here. Most of them are the poorest of the poor living in horrible conditions and carrying God knows what dieases into this country with them. How can we turn away vaccinations and still allow potentially contaminated people in our schools sitting next to our children? The plague could walk right in and we'd do nothing to stop it. &lt;/p&gt;

One parent, clearly who had an issue with this, was allowed to meekly state that she thought there was a connection to innoculations, even as the doctor was denying any link.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'm not a fan of Oprah, and this show was the last straw.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And yet, we've been brain-washed so completely, that our defenseless children are forced, or lined-up by parents by the droves. Just like sheep.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Boosting our immune systems can be a little work, but it's worth it. Good dietary choices, pure water, and avoiding processed foods and artificial sweeteners and margarines, is a great start.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;sounds better all the time! &amp;nbsp;current efforts include the use of raw DNA. &amp;nbsp;scientists admit they do not know the long term effects of injecting raw DNA into the body and acknowledge the possibility of cellular change with unknown consequences.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;so perhaps this is too focused a response to the issue of mercury exposure, but the concerns about vaccines as part of the discussion prompted me to insert this piece.&lt;/p&gt;
