Note: If you already know the following information scroll down to the article title in maroon below the seven asterisks. However, I strongly recommend reading this introduction until you really ‘own’ it. In addition, post The Great News where you’ll see it every day.
Over the last 15 years, and especially during 2019 – 2024, data from a series of experiments at the University of Arizona have definitively demonstrated scientifically that life continues after physical death. This research was conducted by Gary E. Schwartz PhD, former professor at Harvard and Yale, and pioneer in the fields of behavioral medicine and energy healing.
Dr. Schwartz is assisted in this work by a team of electrical engineers, software developers, research assistants, evidential mediums, and postmaterial luminaries at the Laboratory for Advances in Consciousness and Health. (To learn more about the SoulPhone Project and lab, visit LACH.Arizona.edu. To learn about postmaterial luminaries, see article #31 at SoulProof.com)
The Demo SoulSwitch is a binary (Yes / No) SoulSwitch device that postmaterial persons (the so-called ‘deceased’) can use to answer questions, verify their identity, and begin providing information to help many people and our planet. This device should be ready for beta testing by the summer of 2024. After sessions with project volunteers and larger donors, we will share data that scientifically demonstrates life continues after bodily death. However, this ‘reveal’ will initially occur as an ‘incremental trickle’ versus a ‘sudden splash’. Over time and under optimal conditions, we will gradually amplify how widely this news is shared.
Likewise, demonstrations of this technology will occur in a stepwise fashion. We anticipate, but cannot guarantee, that full announcements and demonstrations will occur by spring 2025. These decisions were made in April 2024 after many strategic planning discussions with core project team members. The many factors involved are much more complex than you might imagine.
See articles #1, 60, and 115 for an overview of the scientific, clinical, and experiential evidence that indicates – with 99.9% certainty – that consciousness survives bodily death. This collective evidence also shows – with very high degrees of certainty – The Great News that you and everyone else:
- continue to live after your earthly body dies.
- can interact with ‘departed’ loved ones now and after you pass on.
- are integral, infinite, eternal, and beloved parts of Source Energy now and always.
- receive guidance and support from angels, guides, master teachers, etc.
- are sacredly interconnected with all people, animals, and nature.
- have special purposes for having this earthly experience now.
- may manifest in other simultaneous time / space realities now and after bodily death.
- have everything you need to enjoy an optimal earthly experience – no matter what your past or current circumstances.
- can find meaning, as well as opportunities for growth and service, amidst your toughest changes and challenges.
- co-create how heavenly your life feels – whether living on earth or elsewhere – by your predominant thoughts, words and actions.
- can likely use SoulPhone technology in the future to communicate with postmaterial loved ones and access wisdom from luminaries who can help us heal our world.
Statements #1, 2, and 11 are based on definitive scientific research. The other statements are based on: (a) clinical research: near-death experiences, past life memories and regressions, perinatal experiences, life between lives sessions, shared crossings, terminal lucidity cases, and deathbed visions; and (b) evidencefrom firsthand experiences: after-death communications, out-of-body experiences, spiritually transformative experiences, electronic voice projection / instrumental transcommunication, and other ways of knowing.
This is, obviously, a new and exciting era for humanity. When understood and internalized – even just a bit – The Great News can help you make the shift:
- FROM thinking, believing, and acting as if your time on earth is unfair, meaningless, cruel, and ends with cessation of consciousness or the possibility of endless suffering.
- TO thinking, believing, and acting as if this earthly experience is a totally meaningful, safe, and magnificent adventure amidst forever.
Conscious language can help you adopt a greater reality perspective and live based on the second bulleted worldview. And that, in turn, can help you create the greatest life YOU have envisioned, fulfill your purposes for being on earth, serve others, and enjoy a magnificent journey. In the pursuit of using more conscious / accurate terms, l:
- Will use the term ‘YOU’ to describe the totality of your energy / being. Your real self may manifest in different spacetime ways simultaneously since only approximately 50% of your consciousness is needed to have an earthly experience. The term ‘YOU’ recognizes both of these possibilities.
- Won’t use the terms ‘die, departed, deceased, or dead’ without single quotation marks since those have strongly entrenched and erroneous meanings indicating an end of life.
- Will use the terms ‘bodily death’ and ‘death of the earthly form’ to remind you that only the earth-suit dies. The rest – all the intelligence, love, personality, memories, preferences, sense of humor, and much more – continues living in other parts of the field of all possibilities.
- Will use the terms changed worlds, passed on, transitioned and others that aptly describe a continuation of consciousness after bodily death.
- Will primarily refer to those who have passed on as postmaterial persons. That term recognizes the points in #3. I also will use soul, consciousness, essence, and awareness.
- Will primarily refer to ‘physical humans living on earth’ as material persons. Why? Because those terms within single quotation marks may apply to postmaterial persons. That is, they can have physicality, visit earth, and are still human in meaningful ways.
- Will use the terms lower versus higher energies, emotions, and ways of being. These descriptors are not critical, judgmental, or subjective; rather, they are based on objective measures by, for example, David Hawkins PhD, MD author of Power Versus Force. He and other researchers found that higher-energy emotions of peace, joy, and love calibrate at 600, 540, and 500 respectively. Conversely, lower-energy emotions of anger, fear, and guilt calibrate at 150, 100, and 30. To be clear, energy / consciousness is who and what you really are, not just how you are feeling. Your predominant energies create the quality of your life and the nature of your earthly or other time-space experience.
- Will use single quotations marks with words such as ‘lose and fail’. The Great News and collective afterlife evidence can expand your worldview about what seem to be losses and failures. We can’t accurately judge the big picture of life – what is lost or how we failed – with our limited human senses.
Note: To recognize and respect different genders and sexual identifications, I will alternate using ‘he’ or ‘she’ and related pronouns. Depending on a person’s orientation, one, both, or neither of those may apply.

What does all this have to do with Detoxing Chemicals and Heavy Metals? It’s very difficult to know and show who you really are and share your greatest gifts when you are chronically and/or severely depressed, fatigued, in pain, or otherwise suffering. And, conversely, it’s very difficult to be happy and balanced without knowing about the big picture of life.

Detoxing Chemicals and Heavy Metals
Chemicals and heavy metals are all around you – in food, air, water, body care products, home and laundry cleaning products, etc.
The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that the average American comes into contact with over 2000 chemicals a day. The U.S. allows over 14,000 chemicals to be in our food supply. Newborn babies have been found with hundreds of chemicals in their blood.
Until big businesses put health concerns before profit, chemicals will abound. A popular phrase in the 1960’s was: “Better living through chemistry.” Sixty years later, we’re seeing the negative impacts on our health.
Excessive heavy metals and chemicals are harmful, especially in the amounts present today. Your body can tolerate some unnaturally occurring toxins, but not in the current excessive forms and amounts. Chemicals and heavy metals particularly affect the brain and hormonal glands, thus causing common physical and mental symptoms.
Sherry Rogers MD, author of Detoxify or Die, states that chemicals and heavy metals are also often a core cause of neuromuscular diseases such as Parkinson’s, Lou Gehrig’s, Multiple Sclerosis, and other afflictions involving tremors.
Excessive chemical exposure is especially problematic for those who work around chemicals. They are more likely to develop neuromuscular and other disorders. Linda, a forty-five- year-old who had worked around chemicals for 20 years, developed tremors of the hands and an autoimmune disorder. She said several coworkers in their mid-thirties also had tremors of the face and hands. Her symptoms cleared up nicely when we helped her body remove the over-accumulation of chemicals.
Excess chemicals need to be dealt with for ourselves, our children and our children’s children. Otherwise, more and more people will likely face major illness and mental imbalances. If traditional medical care is sought, the treatment will usually be more chemicals in the form of prescription drugs.
When making important decisions centuries ago, Native Americans considered the impact on seven generations ahead. Unfortunately, many of today’s decisions are based on profit while future health impacts are ignored.
I’ve seen heart-wrenching examples of people whose lives are impaired or ruined by excess chemicals. We have seen a number of teenagers who suffer with ten or more serious symptoms such as depression, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, fatigue, insomnia, morbid fears, nightmares, etc.
Since chemicals are inescapable and harmful, you are wise to minimize your exposure and regularly remove them from your body.
Chemicals and Common Sources
Body Care Products: non-natural brands of facial creams, artificial nails, lotions, oils, shampoo and conditioner, soap, powders, breath freshener, makeup, hair gels/ coloring, mouthwash, cologne, shaving cream, toothpaste, baby wipes and diapers
Home Cleaners: any commercial home cleaners that contain chemicals. Instead, use natural products containing baking soda, white vinegar, lemon, borax, castile soap, salt, and essential oils for fragrance.
Food Dyes: in processed and packages foods with food coloring added.
Food Preservatives: in packaged and processed foods and some salad bars
Formaldehyde: permanent press and other treated fabrics, cosmetics and toiletries, household cleaners, paper products, building materials, medications, paint and stripping agents, cigarettes, smoke from burning wood, etc.
Herbicides: non-organic foods and unfiltered water
Medications: prescription drugs
Acetate/Acetone: paint, varnish, nail polish and remover, paint thinners and removers, cosmetics, artificial flavors, adhesives
Hydrocarbons: exhaust from gas or diesel engines, and natural gas
Petrosolvents: paints, varnishes, glues, adhesives, aerosol sprays, ink, permanent markers, solvents such as benzene and carbon tetrachloride
Pesticides: chemical products used to control bugs and plants
Plastic: plastic wrap, plastic water bottles, food packaging
In addition to minimizing exposure to the sources above, what else can you do?
- Use naturally based body care products whenever possible. Avoid ones that contain chemical fragrances, colors, and preservatives.
- When you are around new furniture, building materials or car, thoroughly ventilate the area, especially in bedrooms.
- Filter water used for drinking and bathing to avoid common chemicals in tap water. Don’t flush harmful chemicals such as unused prescription drugs and paint down the toilet or sink.
- Eat real food from local organic sources to avoid dyes, food preservatives, and chemicals from containers. Avoid foods that have been treated with herbicides and pesticides. Don’t eat meat, eggs or dairy products that have been raised with growth hormones, antibiotics, and chemicals.
- Use naturally-based house cleaning and pesticide products.
- Read labels: it’s not a good sign if a food, body care, or housecleaning product contains lots of long chemical-sounding words that you can’t pronounce.
- Contact your legislators and urge their action to protect people, animals and the environment from chemical products and wastes.
- Use healthy elimination and detox measures described earlier in this chapter.
- Lose weight if needed since chemicals and heavy metals can store in fat.
- Use a detox program such as the Standard Process Purification Program two to four times a year to assist internal cleansing of the bowels, kidneys, lungs, blood, lymphatics and skin.
- Use a nutrition-based healing program to detect excess chemicals and determine what approach is best to remove them.
Hiding your head in the sand isn’t going to make this one go away. There are many advantages of 21st century living, but chemical toxicity must be addressed or more people, especially children will suffer.
Toxic or heavy metals – for example, mercury, aluminum, arsenic, plutonium and lead – can cause serious illness. Others, such as iron, copper, manganese and zinc, are needed in small amounts but cause damage at excessive levels.
Pollution of air, food and water has increased the amount of certain metals that pose health risks for humans and animals. Other heavy metals are purposely added to products. Example include aluminum in antiperspirant deodorants, or mercury in vaccinations, dental fillings and processed foods. These are present in small amounts that over time can accumulate and contribute to disease.
Certain individuals are more sensitive to these metals and are like a canary in a coal mine—a first line alert of coming danger to others.
Many doctors and health scientists point to the serious health problems these days and consider heavy metal toxicity to be a core cause. For example, consider the large Alzheimer’s treatment centers in existence these days. When I was young, I was around many older people in our family, neighborhood and church. None of them had dementia, senility, Alzheimer’s or whatever label is used to describe the alarming incidence of memory loss and mental confusion.
In my holistic health care centers, we have treated a number of people in their thirties and forties who report significant problems with memory and concentration.
Why are so many children suffering with mental symptoms such as hyperactivity, depression, anxiety and behavior problems? Same question with adults who have facial or hand tremors before middle age. What is going on? Many experts are pointing to the increase in toxic metals and urging people to face this problem now.
Toxic Metals and Common Sources
Aluminum: cookware, packaged foods, antacids, antiperspirants, baking soda, aluminum cans, kitchen utensils, paints, dental composites, toothpaste
Antimony: flame-retardant clothing and furniture, medicines, pigments
Arsenic: poisons, pigments, dyes, wood preservative, insecticide, wine, well water, coal burning, shellfish, treated lumber
Barium: diagnostic tests, drinking water, bleaches, dyes, fireworks, ceramics
Beryllium: exposure at nuclear and aerospace industries, refining and melting of beryllium-containing alloys, manufacturing of electronic devices
Bromine: agriculture chemicals, flame-retardants, contaminated drinking water and food sources, spas, swimming pools
Cadmium: fertilizers, cigarettes, water from galvanized pipes, shellfish, industrial fumes, paint, air pollution, auto exhaust
Calcium: poor quality sources of calcium, excess dairy products
Chromium: cheap chromium-coated stainless-steel kitchen utensils corroded by acidic foods, dyes, pigments, air pollution, dental crowns
Copper: poor quality mineral supplements, copper plumbing, cook ware, dental materials, pesticides, jewelry, IUDs, birth control pills
Fluorine: fluoride containing toothpaste and mouthwash, fluoridated water
Gold/Silver: cheap jewelry, dental fillings, injections for arthritis
Iodine: excess supplements and iodized salt, topical iodine solution
Iron: paints, dyes, poor quality mineral supplements, enriched wheat flour, pollution, occupational exposure, tobacco
Lead: paint, car exhaust, occupational exposure, plumbing, canned food, hair dye
Magnesium: poor quality mineral supplements, antacids, laxatives
Manganese: well water, ceramics, dyes, medicines, job exposure
Mercury: processed foods, dental fillings, seafood, vaccinations, water
Nickel: auto exhaust, cigarettes, dental crowns, occupational exposure
Radioactive Metals: contaminated food, air and water; nuclear plants
Tin: canned foods, paints, pesticides, contaminated water, job exposure
Titanium: paints, medications, orthopedic/dental implants, job exposure
Zinc: poor quality mineral supplements, exposure to smelters, metal cans
What action steps can you take so toxic metals don’t hurt you and your loved ones?
- Prevention of further heavy metals listed above.
- Removal of toxic metals already in the body.
Prevention involves avoiding further exposure to the above sources as much as possible. Suggestions for doing this include:
- Avoid processed foods, especially those containing high fructose corn syrup, as much as possible since they can contain small amounts of mercury as a preservative
- Use deodorants with natural ingredients, not aluminum
- Don’t use canned foods to prevent intake of lead, aluminum, tin and other metals
- Avoid medical drugs as much as possible since they may contain heavy metals; this is especially critical for vaccinations that can contain mercury in the form of thimerosal
- Use a mercury-free dentist for your dental fillings
- Filter drinking water with a dual carbon filter, and bathing water with a whole house filter
- Avoid over-the-counter medications, for example, antacids that contain toxic metals
- Use skin care products that only contain natural ingredients
You get the idea: look at the list of common sources and eliminate them as much as possible. Be sure to tell your family and friends about the dangers of heavy metals so they can avoid them, too.
Finally, be sure to contact your legislators and urge their action to protect people, animals and the environment from toxic metals.
For treatment, use the same healing programs as with chemicals.
