Hello friends and welcome. It's an early issue, but I consider this newsletter to be an emergency!
The recent tragic events in Japan, specifically nuclear fallout from the damaged reactors, have caused a lot of concern among, not only those living on the island, but neighboring countries as well. I've received several calls from customers in Japan and even folks in California worried about atmospheric transfer of radioactivity. The questions they have been asking me are, will the carbon in intraMAX act as a chelator of radioactive isotopes and how can it help if radiation does become a problem.

To be honest, this is the first time there has been a concern like this in the five years I've been with Drucker Labs. It's not every day we're faced with these unique challenges. So, like any concerned health care provider, I began my investigation to see what we can do to combat radiation poisoning. Can we protect against, chelate or detoxify excessive & destructive ionizing radiation from our bodies? Will intraMax help? The information I've uncovered is interesting, encouraging AND exciting, in that we have such a unique product that CAN help in a crisis such as the Japan earthquake and subsequent radiation dispersion.
Keep in mind that although many of us have not been exposed to the direct fallout from a nuclear disaster, we are being hit with radiation in one form or another every day. Whether from medical tests such as X-rays and CAT scans, microwaves, televisions, cell phones, satellites, atmospheric radiation from frequent flying, or from airport scanners, we are constantly being exposed to this silent threat; to some type of radiation.
Fortunately there are proven ways to chelate (remove) damaging radioactive elements and their free radical by-products from our bodies, naturally. But first it's important to explain radiation in a bit more detail.
Radiation can be categorized into two main types: ionizing and non-ionizing. Non-ionizing radiation includes electromagnetic radiation as mentioned above and also includes radio waves, power lines, radar stations, fluorescent lights, etc. The second type, ionizing radiation, is more damaging because of its higher energy and the production of positive ions (negative ions are considered "good guys"). This type of radiation results from nuclear weapons, nuclear reactors, medical and dental x-rays, and is the type of radiation used to irradiate food.
There are three main types of ionizing radiation. The first is Alpha radiation, which can only travel 4 to 7 inches in the air and is blocked by our own skin. The second type is Beta particles which travel faster and further than Alpha; up to ten yards in open air and several millimeters into human tissue. Prolonged exposure can cause burns and eye damage. However, both Alpha and Beta radiation can cause very serious internal damage if they are inhaled or ingested.
The last type of ionizing radiation is Gamma rays, the type that is released when we have x-rays OR when nuclear reactors melt down. It's also the most hazardous type of external radiation, traveling up to a mile in open air and able to penetrate all types of materials, in addition to traveling piggy-back on atmospheric particles like pollution, dust, and water vapor for hundreds or even thousands of miles! Since gamma rays penetrate more deeply through the body than alpha or beta particles, all tissues and organs can be damaged by gamma sources from outside of the body.
Typically, in the example of x-rays, the dosage is low, the exposure is limited and the radiation passes through you and does not remain. You don't walk out "radioactive" after your exposure. This also applies generally to radio-opaque dyes used as contrast material for CT scans - although I personally agree with many others that remnants from these procedures may linger for some time and continue to do damage.
Regardless of the type of radiation, none of it is really "safe". All radiation does damage to the body. The extent of the damage is determined by the type, exposure time, amount and how well our bodies repair the damage. If enough radiation is exposed to the body, it damages cells, tissues and cell DNA. It can also remain in the body for years and continue to do damage from the inside. This is usually the case when inhaling or ingesting some form of radioactive isotope - like plutonium for example. Once in the bloodstream, plutonium moves throughout the body and into the bones, liver, or other body organs. Plutonium that reaches body organs generally stays there for decades exposing organs and tissues to continuing radiation, increasing the risk of cancer, and kidney disease.

The health damage from ionizing radiation primarily results from the body producing massive amounts of free radicals. Free radical production in the body occurs every day. It's a normal oxidative reaction and as long as we're getting enough anti-oxidants from our nutrition, these reactions are generally kept in check.
Even with damage that occurs from regular exposure to small amounts of radiation, the body is usually able to repair it. Of course, this ability depends on many factors such as: genetics, immune system function, age, health, etc. It is when the exposure is great enough or long enough to overwhelm the body's defenses and/or the damage occurs faster and greater than the bodies ability to cope, that free radical production swings wildly to the high side and causes diseases such as cancer, rapid aging, heart disease, environmental illness, inflammatory processes like arthritis, and severe allergic reactions. The greater the free radical production, the greater the acceleration of these processes. Such is the case with nuclear fallout.
Radiation poisoning also suppresses the immune system so we can't fight back and also destroys many nutrients already present in the body.
So what can be done as a natural and effective preventative or treatment? For one, replenishing of damaged nutrients is vital!
Since this newsletter primarily answers the question of how intraMax can help, as I discuss natural aids, I'm going to highlight all the helpful ingredients that are also present in intraMax. If you see yellow, it's in our product! I think you'll be surprised & pleased at how many there are!

After the atom bomb was used on Nagasaki in WWII, there were a few doctors who treated patients with radiation sickness on a macrobiotic diet and had tremendous success. The diet consisted of brown rice, miso (a paste made from fermented soya beans and Barley or rice malt), wakame, Sea Vegetables, organic brown rice, as well as Pumpkin and sea salt while prohibiting consumption of processed sugar or sweets. As a result, nearly everyone treated this way survived while others not being treated similarly died. It's important to know that only truly Carbon-Based, Organic Foods were used in the treatment.
Other known anti-radiation nutrients are Algin, found in Kelp. Kelp is very effective in eliminating the body of toxic materials such as radioactive Strontium 90, mercury, barium, tin, cadmium, and excess zinc. Specifically it protects the body from absorbing these poisons by bonding with them and excreting them.
Zeolites, a family of naturally occurring minerals, are well known chelators of various environmental and radioactive toxins. Also, the amino acids, Cysteine, Methionine and Cystine, protect against radiation damage by terminating excessive free radical production. Cysteine and methionine also contain "neutralizing" Sulfur in addition to Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen and Oxygen.
Echinacea and Aloe Vera are useful in preventing radiation burns. Kombucha tea contains active Enzymes, Probiotics (lactobacillus bacterium), Amino Acids, Antioxidants, polyphenols and saccharomyces boulardi which have been shown to be helpful.
Green Tea contains tumor growth inhibiting factors as well as other polyphenols (such as flavonoids) reputed to counteract free radicals. Other beneficial ingredients are Vitamin C, Carotene, Fluoride, Zinc, Selenium, Manganese, Potassium, Niacin & Folic Acid, some of which alleviate many of the horrible side effects of radiation.
Calcium Bentonite Clay can be used as a very effective ionizing radiation remover. Since it is a negatively charged ion, it can absorb positive charged ions allowing them to pass through the body. It can be used both internally and externally (in baths etc.)
Chlorella & Spirulina algae have been shown to powerfully protect against radiation. Chlorella, touted as the perfect whole food, improves the immune system, detoxifies, and protects against exposure. In Chernobyl spirulina was used to help save many children from radiation poisoning, along with natural Beta Carotene from Dunaliella algae to help normalize their blood chemistry. Because they bind heavy metals, algae should be consumed after exposure to any type of radioactive contamination.
Thyme is another tea that works toward cleansing and building the blood lymphatics and the thyroid and thymus, in addition to assisting in the elimination of radiation poisoning.
Now the kicker...I recently wrote a newsletter about the unique carbon-bonding intraCELL V technology used in our liquid, organic, carbon-bond supplement intraMAX to make it such a powerful detox nutrient and facilitator of nutrient delivery. This same technology will greatly aid in assisting with radiation exposure.
Organic carbon, has an affinity, or a "fondness" for bonding with other small atoms, including other carbon atoms, and is capable of forming multiple stable bonds with such atoms. Therefore, it makes sense that this naturally occurring carbon would be very important for, not only enhancing the absorption of our 415+ nutrients to boost the body's immunity, repairing damaged tissues and assisting in cell protection, but also in the enhanced removal of free radicals and radioactivity.
Especially now, with the increasing radiation we're being exposed to every day and the massive amounts of radiation in Japan and the potential for it to spread to other countries in the forthcoming days, weeks or even months, it's of profound importance that a complete organic multi-functional supplement like intraMax be taken every day! If you're on it, stay on it! If you've gotten off it, get back on it!
And please, if you know anyone in Japan or anyone who has been exposed to or is concerned about radiation from the recent disaster, forward this information to them and have them call me with any questions or orders. Tell as many others as you can. I feel more strongly than ever that everyone, especially those in Japan, should be taking intraMAX.
May the Lord be honored through this.
Thank you once again.
Yours in good health,
