Detoxyfing with Coconut Water

The water of the green coconut cleans the kidneys, prevents heart attack, detoxifies the organism from heavy metals such as mercury contained in amalgam – and after all it even tastes good.

Von Ulrich Arndt

“In practice coconut water has proven to be a good remedy to detoxify from amalgam and it is helpful on many planes”. Dr. Helmut Friedrich, a holistic dentist in Freiburg (Germany) states in the results of his practical study, thereby wholeheartedly confirming the results of his practical study. Hereby he could wholeheartedly confirm the practical knowledge of the Indian medical science and traditional Ayurvedic Medicine.

Today coconut water from the green coconut (not to be mistaken with the white coconut milk) is after all an ideal thirst quencher famous for its manifold precious electrolytes. Both vacationers in hot countries and athletes esteem its quick regenerating effect. In tropical countries it is drunk with a straw directly from the fresh opened green shell.

This “coconut drink” is clear to slightly turbid and already tastes a bit like coco. It contains important rare trace elements such as zinc and selenium, much potassium, vitamins C, B2 and B6, the amino acids arginin, cystin and serin (the dosage is even higher than in cow’s milk) and other precious vital agents. Being a low fat drink it may also be used as a dietary nutrition.

In the Indian and Ayurvedic Medicine coconut water is recommended for the prevention of heart attack, for blood thinning and blood cleansing, for cleaning of the kidneys even from stones, for stomach and intestinal diseases, for the treatment of the gums and for over acidification in general. In tropical regions it is, in emergency cases, even given directly into the bloodstream as a compensatory blood transfusion. In spite of these manifold effects on health, coconut water remained mostly unknown in our areas. The simple reason was that it was not available here. It was only a few years ago the extraction became possible directly from the fresh coconut by the help of a special technical process. In this way preservatives and additives may completely be abandoned and only a gentle pasteurization at 60° Centigrade is necessary. Only in that way can the precious active agents be maintained, and the coconut water be used as a convenience drink in our climes.

Detoxifying of Amalgam with Coconut Water

Dr. Helmut Friedrich was able to show that with the help of coconut water as a food supplement even a layman can make an easy detoxifying from heavy metals such as mercury amalgam from dental fillings. Amongst others, mercury accumulates in the pituitary gland and in the epiphysis which can cause manifold disorders in metabolism, hormone regulation, in thinking and in the emotional psychic state. Most of the detoxifying methods of mercury are problematic and have to be adjusted to the patient individually. So, mercury can be absorbed through the intake of selenium, but then it is often deposited in the body and cannot be excreted. Folic acid may also absorb mercury; however, in this way organic methyl mercury can emerge which is even a hundredfold more toxic. So-called chelating agents like DMPS absorb mercury very well, but at the same time absorb all other metals in the body as well, so that a long term treatment is not possible: only single use for a one time “remove” of heavy metals. Single homeopathic detoxifying methods have to start with low potencies which, however, can lead to a re-contamination with mercury.

“For a definite detoxifying, sulfuric amino acids are required to absorb mercury and to allow excretion through urine and purgation.” Dr. Friedrich explains. “Those exactly are contained in the green water of the coconut. In combination with the ideal mixture of minerals this activates at the same time the detoxification of heavy metals even from the internal cells and therefore prevents degeneration of the nerve cells and the loss of neurotransmitters,” Friedrich emphasizes. Depending on the stress level, a daily dosage of approximately 200 – 2500 ml is necessary (price: approximately 2,90 € per 500 ml).
According to Friedrich, for a thorough detoxification of mercury for every method, long times of detoxifying over many months – sometimes even years – are necessary.

For the patients it is much more comfortable to consume a refreshing coconut drink instead of a permanent intake of medicine.
