I have now stopped the juice, Hopefully Bill can tell me of a safe way to detox my children from the arsenic that they have consumed through the juices.
Also, I use the apple juice / apple cider vinegar for gall bladder attacks.
This just goes to show, that the FDA is not protecting the people as they claim. They first attracted Dr. Oz when he put out his study and now another study is confirming this.

Hi Rebel from somewhere... I am currently seeing a Dr who now specializes in a German Listening Computer that reads your body - heavy metal levels, immune system etc. I had a high level of arsenic and he said one of the main causes of this is from garlic grown in China that is sold in all the supermarkets. I had been eating a lot of raw garlic at night for candida and mold so it rang true. He recommends only eating organic garlic.
Incidentally he doesn't recommend organic flour, cereals or nuts as he says a lot of them have molds as they haven't been sprayed. Hard to tell which is better - the poisonous sprays or the molds! The more I read and learn the more confused I get. Thank you everyone for your posts - I am learning so much. All the best.

Hi Rebel, I think that it is the apple juice that is made in China that has arsenic in them. Dr Oz said there are only traces of arsenic in them but if you drink it twice a day every day then this would add up to a substantial amount. He said he would give his kid's apple juice but only every once in a while. Maybe once a week I would assume. Lily.Replied By Bill (San Fernando, Philippines) on 12/01/2011
Hi Rebel... There is an easy way to detox arsenic. Much has already been said on the usefulness of Sodium Thiosulfate(ST) on this site for detoxing heavy metals. But ST is also used by the medical profession to help recover people suffering from both cyanide and arsenic poisoning by removing these substances from the body safely. You can buy this online or you can simply go to an aquatics shop and buy the ST there(where I got my ST). Usually it is sold as a 10% solution and is mainly used to remove chlorine from fish tanks because chlorine is highly poisonous to fish. The dosage is 8 to 10 drops in a glass of water(half this dose for children). ST is tasteless and easy take. But when you take ST for the first time it is likely that you will have diarrhea initially -- but this is only due to the ST flushing out heavy metals initially from your intestines and this normally only ever happens once -- it depends on the extent of heavy metals absorption in your body at the time. When I first took ST, I never had diarrhea so it doesn't always happen.
My own detox strategy, since I regard buying organic food as impossible where I am living now, is therefore completely defensive and preventative. So it becomes necessary for me to detox myself continuously against heavy metals, halogens, pesticides and all the rest. For this I simply use alkalizing, lugol's iodine, ST, Vitamin C and fulvic/humic acid as my basic strategy and I also support my liver(which is the main detoxing organ of the body) and kidneys using Alpha Lipoic Acid, Selenium, Milk thistle and Chanca Piedra. This liver support greatly stimulates Glutathione production in the liver, which aids in detoxing and purifying the blood. I also alkalize regularly and drink green tea quite often and I eat cilantro in salads several times a week which all helps to remove heavy metals and helps to balance calcium in the body.

I saw the Dr. Oz episode about arsenic in apple juice too. It was apples from China and South America. I started buying my child Indian Summer brand apple juice. It is made only from U.S. apples.Replied By Dave (Surprise, Az) on 06/11/2012
There is arsenic in apple seeds, I would imagine our plants that produce the juice are trying to get all of the juice from the apple and are getting arsenic from the seeds, I would think it happens in all commercial types of apple juice.Replied By Rouven69 (New York, Ny) on 10/19/2012
To Tiffany see the newest consumer report article in current issue 11/2012. Rice is the biggest concern and especially the one grown in the USA. You may want to check other sources because with pesticides heavily used in the US the inorganic arsenic is now found in high levels in ALL rice (and fruit juice etc). The one with lowest level came from India but that was just one brand. So your apples juice made in US wouldn't make any different and apperentaly even organic unfortunatley doens't make a difference. It's sad how this has been so undedected for years and government is only starting to look into it.Replied By Alley (Hell, Pa) on 04/06/2013
it's not just in the juice it's in my tap water.
my body kept falling appart finally borke down and paif for water test and hair folicle. I have not taken lithium in 7 years and I have enough in me just fromt he tap water to never need a script for it.
the found a ton of chemicals used in fracking out here. Haha safe my ass. And it's gotten into the public water supply, the test on file for trace minerals is before the they started frackign, adn to boot, in my state they only have to pay to test for trace minerals every 3-5 years. and they know indanve when that test is comming with the new budgets cuts expect trace mineral testing to go out the window.
kept wondering why I was breakigna bone every other couple months, well that wouldb e the arsenic.
only juices I drank were either naturally juiced, organic cause i'm that picky, and I did used to buy grapefruit juice. but after drinking nothing but distilled water for an age I am realy picky about stuff they put in there.

So sorry that you have to put up with the system of greed in your state, I know every state has issues. I was just reading in my book by Ob/gyn John Lee about osteoporosis and hormone replacement of progesterone and how much healthier the users bone density tests became as they continued to apply the hormone cream, it helped with mineral absorption. The book has charts of the increases in bone health from many years of tests collected from many women.
