Beetle Detox Information
Blister beetles carry a very powerful and toxic poison called cantharidin, but unlike other types of insects, it does not deliver its most toxic poison through biting. The cantheradin is found on the beetles exoskeleton and actually causes blisters to form on skin that it comes into contact with. Male blister beetles share the cantharidin toxin with the female during the mating process by using it to cover their eggs to protect them from predators.
This poison is a significant problem for animals that eat hay, particularly alfalfa, since blister beetles like to eat alfalfa as well. When the crops are harvested, the beetles are often killed in the process and contaminate the crops with their body parts and fluids. This causes illness in the animals that eat the contaminated feed. Cured hay does not lose toxicity, nor does the age of hay affect its levels of cantharidin.
Once infected crops are eaten, the beetles can cause severe skin inflammation and blisters. When it becomes absorbed by your intestines, cantharadin can even cause high temperature, depression, increased heart rate and respiration, dehydration, sweating, and severe diarrhea. If ingested by a horse, their calcium level drops in addition to disintegration of heart muscle tissue. This toxin becomes deadly when a sufficient quantity is ingested. The poison from 50 beetles is enough to kill a horse! Dead or alive the beetles poison remains at toxic levels, especially when ingested. Horses often eat the beetles in their hay feed and can get fairly sick, even die from eating too many beetles in their feed.
Our Beetle Detox Remedy works to antidote cantharidin.
Remember that our Liquid Detox is one of the most effective remedies for treating/healing bites and wounds. It is powerful at helping reduce pain, swelling and itching, and is very effective at preventing infection. You can apply it directly to the bite or wound or soak the absorbent part of a band aid (3-5 drops) in Liquid Detox and apply it to the bite or wound.
Whether it is from a hornet, yellow jacket, wasp or honey bee, stings hurt! Most people will have only a localized reaction to a bee sting. The normal reaction to a bee sting is for the skin to turn red and feel painful. Swelling and/or itching may also occur, but the pain usually disappears within a few hours. Symptoms vary from local reactions of pain to redness at the sting site and/or the formation of a wheal (raised bump usually pale in color). Localized itching is common and redness in the first 24 hours can become as large as 12 to 18 inches in diameter. Within this large local reaction sting site, swelling, redness, and pain may persist for up to a week. Areas adjacent to the site of the skin may also be involved in the large local reaction.
All insects in this family live by feeding exclusively on the blood of warm-blooded animals. The name "bed bug" is derived from the insect's preferred habitat of houses, especially beds or other areas where people sleep. Bed bugs are not strictly nocturnal, but are usually active at night and are capable of feeding unnoticed on their hosts. They have been categorized under a variety of names including: wall louse, mahogany flat, crimson rambler, heavy dragoon, chinche and redcoat.
Bed bugs have been recognized as human parasites for thousands of years. Bed bug bites or cimicosis can lead to a range of skin manifestations from no visible effects to prominent blisters. A number of health effects may occur due to bed bugs including: skin rashes, psychological effects, and allergic reactions. They are able to be infected by at least 28 human pathogens, including MRSA! Bed bugs are elusive and usually nocturnal, which can make them hard to spot. They often lodge unnoticed in dark crevices and eggs can be nestled in fabric seams. In addition to bite sites, signs include: fecal spots, blood smears on sheets, and molts.
The harvester ant is considered the most venomous of all insects. It can be aggressive and have a painful sting that spreads through the lymph nodes, sometimes causing reactions, especially in animals allergic to their venom. Some ants bite and inject formic acid into the wound, but the most feared ant bite is from the red ant. Unlike many other ants, fire ants do not truly bite, they sting. The fire ant will bite with its pinchers, but that is only to get a tight grip on you. Then their sting comes from their abdomen and inject a toxic alkaloid venom called solenopsin. One welt can be the result of ten stings. They hold on with their pinchers and continue to sting as they circle the original site. This can result in a pea sized welt. They can then move to a different area and continue stinging you.
The venom of fire ants is composed of alkaloids. The sting swells into a bump which can often cause significant pain and irritation, especially when stung repeatedly by several ants. The bump often forms into a white pustule. If you scratch it infection can develop, but if you can leave it alone, it will usually flatten within a few days. The pustules are obtrusive and uncomfortable while active and if the sting sites become infected, they can turn into scars. Some people may also be allergic to the venom and may experience anaphylaxis, which requires emergency treatment.
There are many home remedies that claim they help reduce the "firing itch" of the ant bite. One of the best is a bar of soap! Barely wet the corner tip of it (you can use saliva) and massage it in a circular motion into the insect bites until the soap starts drying up or feels like a sticky film. This usually takes around 5 minutes. Once it is dry or sticky, you will feel instant relief, very soothing!
Viruses are too small to be seen by the naked eye. They are made up of genetic materials (DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protective coat of protein. They are capable of latching onto cells and getting inside them. Viruses cause disease by infecting a host cell and controlling the host cell's synthetic capabilities to produce more viruses. The new created viruses then leave the host cell, sometimes killing it in the process, and proceed to infect other cells within the host.
The Arthropod / Vector Detox Remedies represent detox assistance for various toxins and poisons associated with the not so friendly biting/stinging critters. You might think of these as the “where did it come from” remedies. The word Vector in this case means, origin or source.
When the body gets exposed to toxic metal substances, it is often referred to as “heavy metal toxicity.” In layman terms, a heavy metal has a specific gravity and belongs to the group of metals that are literally heavier in nature. But the metals in this class are not the only ones that cause us harm. In truth, any element from the periodic table that has not gone through the process of photosynthesis is considered an inorganic item and is not good for the human body. Our “Metal Detox” Remedies work to detoxify all of the elements in their class, not just the “heavy” ones commonly discussed.
Exposure and accumulation of toxic elements is bound to happen in the modern world. It is not a question of IF, but which ones and how much of it you might have accumulated. There are many ways these toxins can be absorbed into your body. This absorption can be through foods and preservatives, beverages (aluminum cans and cookware), skin exposure (most cosmetics have them), or the air you breathe (environmental fumes and geo engineering), etc. We do not provide basic Detox remedies for mercury, lead, copper and the usual heavy metals you might be looking for. Our remedies are much more complex, a complete package and far more effective.
While the term fungus or mold may conjure up thoughts like slimy, green, smelly and rotten, fungi serve a very important role on our planet. Fungi (molds) recycle garbage and help turn dead trees back into soil for us. Some fungi are even utilized in food. Yeasts are the main ingredients in bread, beer and cheeses (none of which are exactly health promoting). But fungi have also caused problems like athlete's foot, allergies, serious infections. They are also used to create some toxic antibiotics.
If your body is a host to any kind of fungal species, we want to eliminate it. Fungi do many good things in the environment, but it is harmful within the human body. A recent study indicated that 100% of women diagnosed with breast cancer had a history of nail fungus. Many forms of cancer have been linked to fungal causes. While we offer excellent, effective remedies and protocols to eliminate the fungus, the deeper question is "why?" Why has your internal environment & immune system allowed it? Why have we humans become more and more susceptible to fungal diseases?
We assume companies would not sell us products that may cause health concerns, right? Sadly, we are exposed to chemicals in almost every aspect of our lives! There are toxins in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the foods we eat, the beauty and skincare products we apply, the household cleaners we use in our home, and the list goes on and on. It is safe to say that it is not a matter of IF we have harmful chemicals in our system, but HOW MANY!
