Detox Your Body For Increased Energy

By Dr. Michael Cutler • Dec 10th, 2008 • Category: Cleansing/Detox, General Health

Were you aware that among its many health benefits, malic acid plays a critical role in energy production and as a detoxifying agent? This is in addition to its use as a flavoring agent in some foods, and in the aging process of wine.

You might also remember that malic acid is added to some skin care products to help restore a youthful appearance to aging skin, and that it is used in dental offices to clean and to get the surface of a tooth ready to be filled.

So where can this multi-talented acid be found? Malic acid is in a wide variety of unripe fruit, including apples, cherries, tomatoes and plums, and it is also formed in the cells of animals—including humans. A large amount of malic acid is produced and broken down in the human body every day, and a deficiency of this acid is thought to be a major cause of physical exhaustion!

Because of the evidence that malic acid is essential for energy production, supplements have been studied for their use in treating fibromyalgia and chronic pain. In a clinical study reported in The Journal of Nutritional Medicine, 15 patients taking 200-2400 mg of malic acid with 300-600 mg of magnesium for four to eight weeks reported that their muscular pain was much less—within 48 hours of taking the supplement. And this welcome pain relief continued to increase over the test period!

Plus, since chronic fatigue syndrome is associated with fibromyalgia, doctors and researchers hope that malic acid supplements can help boost energy levels for those suffering from this condition, as well!

But let’s not forget about the detoxifying properties of malic acid that I mentioned earlier—this natural acid is known to remove dangerous toxic metals from your blood.

As a matter of fact, malic acid is the most potent detoxifier of aluminum—a metal that research has shown can cause memory loss, brain decay and even unexplainable fatigue. And this powerful acid is especially good at decreasing aluminum toxicity in your brain—helping prevent damage to your delicate brain cells.

The brains of patients with Alzheimer’s have been found to contain unusually high levels of aluminum. In the past, it was believed that victims of the disease had digested or absorbed large amounts of aluminum in their lives.

However, it is now thought that how well our bodies can detoxify and get rid of the metal is much more important than the amount of aluminum consumed.

In patients who took a malic acid supplement, the amount of aluminum discharged from their bodies in their urine and feces increased dramatically—and traces of aluminum in their organs and tissues were significantly lessened!

That’s why I recommend that you use malic acid to boost your health and rid your body of dangerous toxins. You will get the most effective amounts of this powerful detoxifying agent in my Advanced Artery Solution™ from True Health™.
