PART TWO: GETTING WELL AGAIN
organized companies selling Black Walnut Tincture had isopro-
pyl pollution. And a Self Health product was found polluted in
1995 and immediately removed from the shelves. All supple-
ment manufacturers should do Syncrometer testing of their final
product.
Until all vitamins and minerals and other food supplements
have been analyzed for pollutants, after they are encapsulated
or tableted, they are not safe. We need processing disclosure on
our products. No manufactured product is absolutely pure. We
can't expect that. But at least we should be able to tell what im-
purities we are getting, and how much. We should be able to
choose between a vitamin tablet that has less than 0.5 ppm lead
pollution and one that has less than 0.05 ppm lead.
The source of a pollutant can be easily traced by anyone
who has mastered the Syncrometer. Manufacturers should avail
themselves of this new technology. The future belongs to the
ethical business that discloses the chemicals they use to
sanitize, lubricate, defoam, release tablets from the tablet
punch, seal capsules, or use as release agents for baked goods
(to keep them from sticking to pans), etc. They should be
willing to send samples for testing.
It is possible to do detailed
analysis of foods or products at a
reasonable price. Look at the bottle of
common table salt, sodium chloride,
that is used by beginning chemistry
students to do experiments. It had be
thoroughly analyzed for them because
minute impurities affect their results.
(Those minute impurities, like lead,
affect you, too.) Look at all the
information given in the label on the
bottle in the picture. Even after all
these tests, the cost of
