Iodine – the Great Detoxifier

March 23, 2011

The family of halides is part of your family. What are the halides? Molecules of iodine, fluoride, bromine, and chlorine that silently reside in your body – in all of us. One of the halides is a good guy, but the other three wear the black hat of toxic polluters. When you have enough of the good halide on board, it pushes out (detoxes) the bad ones.

Excerpt:

On the first Earth Day, celebrated 40 years ago this month, the U.S. was a poisoned nation. Dense air pollution blanketed cities like Los Angeles, where smog alerts were a fact of life. Dangerous pesticides like DDT were still in use, and water pollution was rampant — symbolized by raging fires on Cleveland’s Cuyahoga River, captured in a famous 1969 story for TIME. But the green movement that was energized by Earth Day — and the landmark federal actions that followed it — changed much of that. Today air pollution is down significantly in most urban areas, the water is cleaner, and even the Cuyahoga is home to fish again. Though climate change looms as a long-term threat, the 40th anniversary of Earth Day will see a much cleaner country.

A multimodal bait for trapping blood-sucking arthropods http://lymebook.com/fight/a-multimodal-bait-for-trapping-blood-sucking-arthropods/ http://lymebook.com/fight/a-multimodal-bait-for-trapping-blood-sucking-arthropods/#respond Sat, 12 Feb 2011 00:50:13 +0000 http://lymebook.com/fight/?p=2151 Link: http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&id=21114956&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks

Excerpt:

Artificial baits constitute important tools for the detection and sampling
of blood-sucking arthropods, in particular those that are vectors of
parasites affecting human health. At present, many different devices have
been proposed to attract blood-sucking arthropods, mostly based on the
attractiveness of particular chemicals or blends. However, most of them
revealed themselves as unpractical (e.g. they require an electrical supply),
expensive (e.g. gas
bottles) or not efficient enough. On the other hand, the use of living baits
is as effective but it has practical constraints and/or raises ethical
questions.
We present here a multimodal lure to attract blood-sucking arthropods
designed taking into account both practical constraints and costs. The main
characteristics of our bait are: 1) artificiality (no living-host); 2)
multimodality (it associates heat, carbon dioxide and chemical attractants);
3) independency from any energy source; 4) no need for gas bottles; 5) easy
to prepare and use in the field; 6) low cost. We tested the ability of the
bait to attract blood-sucking arthropods in the laboratory and in the field,
using capture sticky-traps. Our bait evinced to be almost as efficient as
live hosts
(mice) for the capture of Chagas disease and Borrelia vectors in Bolivia.
The multimodal lure here presented is a generalist bait, i.e., effective for
attracting different haematophagous species. Copyright (c) 2010 Elsevier

Genetics & Chemicals – With Comments from Dr. Gordon http://lymebook.com/fight/genetics-chemicals-with-comments-from-dr-gordon/ http://lymebook.com/fight/genetics-chemicals-with-comments-from-dr-gordon/#respond Fri, 28 Jan 2011 17:38:46 +0000 http://lymebook.com/fight/?p=2094 Genetics also influences our ability to withstand the chemicals we are exposed to, as in this research on Parkinson’s disease. Remember some can eat fish and the mercury they consume clears in as little as 40 days whereas others take nearly 6 months to clear the same dose of mercury.

It might be best to at least do something every day from early childhood on such as extra C or EDD (Essential Daily Defense), which I suggest to start before age 1. Okay to use one cap per 20 # weight and 1 Gm of BioEn’R-G’y C (1/4 tsp) per 10 pound of weight or per 1 year of age during the entire lifespan. 

We have proof from Harvard that the lower level of lead in bones reduces dramatically the incidence of death from heart disease (i.e. high levels have 6 times the death rate) so this is a life time challenge we all face now that we have polluted our earth.

BACKGROUND:: Human, animal and cell models support a role for pesticides in the etiology of Parkinson disease. Susceptibility to pesticides may be modified by genetic variants of xenobiotic enzymes, such as paraoxonase, that play a role in metabolizing some organophosphates. 

METHODS:: We examined associations between Parkinson disease and the organophosphates diazinon, chlorpyrifos, and parathion, and the influence of a functional polymorphism at position 55 in the coding region of the PON1 gene (PON1-55). From 1 January 2001 through 1 January 2008, we recruited 351 incident cases and 363 controls from 3 rural California counties in a population-based case-control study. Participants provided a DNA sample, and residential exposure to organophosphates was determined from pesticide usage reports and a geographic information system (GIS) approach. We assessed the main effects of both genes and pesticides in unconditional logistic regression analyses, and evaluated the effect of carrying a PON1-55 MM variant on estimates of effects for diazinon, chlorpyrifos, and parathion exposures. 

RESULTS:: Carriers of the variant MM PON1-55 genotype exposed to organophosphates exhibited a greater than 2-fold increase in Parkinson disease risk compared with persons who had the wildtype or heterozygous genotype and no exposure (for diazinon, odds ratio = 2.2 [95% confidence interval = 1.1-4.5]; for chlorpyrifos, 2.6 [1.3-5.4]). The effect estimate for chlorpyrifos, was more pronounced in younger-onset cases and controls (</=60 years) (5.3 [1.7-16]). No increase in risk was noted for parathion. 

CONCLUSION:: The increase in risk we observed among PON1-55 variant carriers for specific organophosphates metabolized by PON1 underscores the importance of considering susceptibility factors when studying environmental exposures in Parkinson disease.

Truvia Reactions http://lymebook.com/fight/truvia-reactions/ http://lymebook.com/fight/truvia-reactions/#respond Wed, 29 Sep 2010 16:00:55 +0000 http://lymebook.com/fight/?p=1687

Dear Sherrel,

Thank you for your note.  As I told you by phone we have been getting 
quite a few reactions from Truvia.  Pure stevia is fine but Truvia is 
made by Coke, and has chemicals.  It is sweetened with Erythritol and 
has added an ingredient of stevia only.  In fact, I did an expose on 
it which was shown in France.   You can be sure if Coke and Pepsi 
have anything to do with sweeteners we have no way of assuring 
safety.  Here is an email I wrote about 
it:  http://www.mpwhi.com/health_problems_and_truvia.htm and an 
investigation by Arthur Evangelista who use to work for the FDA.

Also, what worries me is aspartame and MSG are hidden in artificial 
and natural flavors.  As a heart patient you have  to be absolutely 
sure you never get aspartame.  It even damages the cardiac conduction 
system and causes sudden death: 
http://www.wnho.net/aspartame_and_arrhythmias.htm and 
http://www.wnho.net/aspartame_msg_scd.htm  They know that aspartame 
is addictive and sells lots of pop.  So unless somebody analyzes 
Truvia we have no idea what is causing people to have all these 
reactions from it.  The reactions you describe are exactly like 
aspartame which causes chemical hypersensitization.  One man got off 
it and got well, and then later was given a cookie sweetened with 
aspartame and had tachycardia, fast heart rate, so bad they had to 
stop his heart to save his life.

I would stay away from artificial sweeteners.  Just Like Sugar is 
okay because its food and not additives, just chicory used 70 years 
to improve the health of diabetics.  There have been no reactions to 
it or complaints.  Stevia that you get from a health food store is 
fine as long as it does not  contain additives.  In Brazil they even 
add aspartame to it.  Until aspartame is removed from planet earth we 
can’t be sure where its hidden.  Somebody needs to analyze Truvia 
because there are far too many complaints.  I’m glad you have not 
knowingly used aspartame.  Below my signature is the Aspartame 
Resource Guide with detox and other information.  The knowledge will 
prove useful to you.  The detox is very helpful.

I’ll send a copy of this to Whole Foods because they sell it, and I’m 
very surprised.  They do ban aspartame and Splenda.  The big problem 
is what we don’t know.  They shouldn’t sell it until they analyze 
it.  They probably buy shelf space.  You can get Just Like Sugar there.

Here’s another discussion of Truvia and you’ll notice others being 
shocked that Whole Foods is carrying it:

The Lethal Science of Splenda:


<http://www.wnho.net/splenda_chlorocarbon.htm>http://www.wnho.net/splenda_chlorocarbon.htm 

Studies have shown that sucralose can:

  * Cause the thymus to shrink by as much as 40% (the thymus is your 
immune powerhouse – it produces T cells)
* Cause enlargement of the liver and kidneys
  * Reduce growth rate as much as 20%
* Cause enlargement of the large bowel area
  * Reduce the amount of good bacteria in the intestines by 50%
  * Increase the pH level in the intestines (a risk factor for colon cancer)
  * Contribute to weight gain
  * Cause aborted pregnancy low fetal body weight
* Reduce red blood cell count

Particular warning to diabetics:  Researchers found that diabetic 
patients using sucralose showed a statistically significant increase 
in glycosylated hemoglobin, a marker that is used to assess glycemic 
control in diabetic patients. According to the FDA, “increases in 
glycosolation in hemoglobin imply lessening of control of diabetes.”

Ajinomoto just announced a new name for aspartame called 
AminoSweet.  Be warned.

Dear Ms. Oshita:

In reading available information, I assume you want mostly how 
aspartame relates to cancer.  Indeed it is a carcinogen, proven so by 
many scientific studies.  Aspartame also triggers many other serious 
diseases which fill the 1,000+ page medical text, Aspartame Disease: 
An Ignored Epidemic, 
<http://www.sunsentpress.com/>www.sunsentpress.com by H. J. Roberts, M.D.

When FDA Commissioner Dr. Von Eschenbach took office I wrote him 
about aspartame and cancer, mainly due to his professed intention to 
save cancer victims; so much of this has already been 
done. 
<http://www.mpwhi.com/project_recall_aspartame.htm>http://www.mpwhi.com/project_recall_aspartame.htm 
Later 12 toxicologists asked the FDA to ban aspartame because of the 
long term Ramazzini studies on large rat populations showing 
aspartame is “a multipotential carcinogen”. 
<http://www.cspinet.org/new/pdf/aspartame_letter_to_fda.pdf>http://www.cspinet.org/new/pdf/aspartame_letter_to_fda.pdf 
Now I’ll go back to the beginning.

Aspartame was not approved by science but thru the political 
chicanery of Don Rumsfeld.  D.C. Attorney James Turner, explains how 
Rumsfeld did it in the documentary Sweet Misery, a Poisoned World. 
Here’s a clip from the movie so you can hear what he 
said: 
<http://www.soundandfury.tv/pages/rumsfeld2.html>http://www.soundandfury.tv/pages/rumsfeld2.html

Searle’s problem was they couldn’t get studies to show safety.  For 
example, in  the Bressler 
Report: 
<http://www.mpwhi.com/aspartame_news.htm>http://www.mpwhi.com/aspartame_news.htm
you read where they would excise brain tumors from the rats, put them 
back in the study and after they died resurrected them back on paper. 
They even filtered out neoplasms to hide them from the 
FDA.  Repeatedly Searle was caught in this criminal activity.

On January 10, 1977 in a 33 page letter, FDA Chief Counsel Richard 
Merrill recommended to the Justice Department Attorney Sam Skinner 
that a grand jury investigate Searle for “apparent violations of the 
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 21 USC 331 (e), and the False 
Reports to the Government Act, 18 U.S.C. 1001, for “their willful and 
knowing failure to make reports to the Food and Drug Administration 
required by the Act, 21 U.S.C 355 (i) and making false statements in 
reports of animal studies conducted to establish the safety of 
aspartame.” The FDA called special attention to studies investigating 
the effect of NutraSweet on monkeys and hamsters.

Searle was caught dead to rights, so they hired Skinner, made him a 
deal he couldn’t refuse. So the former Justice Department prosecutor 
became a defender.  Next at bat as                   U. S. Prosecutor 
was William Conlon, who promptly switched sides too. By then the 
statute of limitations had expired. Searle knew they couldn’t win the 
case so they simply hired the prosecutors.  The Godfather hired the 
District Attorneys!

Nevertheless the FDA had no intention of approving aspartame.  The 
fraud was so great that  Dr. John Olney (who with James Turner fought 
against approval of aspartame ) told Searle to do studies in his lab 
so he could see that they were done honestly, with supervision.  Dr. 
Olney believed the FDA wouldn’t approve aspartame because the studies 
showed it produced brain damaged.  What he didn’t anticipate is that 
Searle didn’t submit these findings to the FDA.

January 30, 1980 the Public Board of Inquiry revoked Searle’s 
petition for approval declaring that they had “not been presented 
with proof of reasonable certainty that aspartame is safe for use as 
a food additive.”   Searle had spent $17 million on an aspartame 
factory and had no intention of giving up, poison or no.  At this 
point they hired Donald Rumsfeld who said he would call in his 
markers and get it approved anyway.
What were those markers?  President Reagan had told Rumsfeld he would 
be nominated for vice president, but instead selected Bush number 1.

The day after Reagan took office he appointed Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes 
as the new FDA Commissioner, to over-rule the Board of 
Inquiry.  Reagan knew it would take 30 days to get Hayes to the FDA , 
so he wrote an Executive Order making the FDA powerless to do 
anything about aspartame.  At 3 AM that night a member of Reagan’s 
staff called the FDA Commissioner Jere Goyan and fired him.  Here is 
a letter from his wife who was there when the terminating call came 
in:  http://www.mpwhi.com/letter_about_jere_goyan.pdf

Once aspartame was on the market there was outrage as consumers were 
diagnosed with seizures, multiple sclerosis and blindness from the 
free methyl alcohol releases.  Senator Orrin Hatch, on Monsanto’s 
payroll, obstructed hearings on aspartame for years, but there were 3 
Congressional hearings from 1985 to l987.  Hatch was on Monsanto’s 
payroll, and kept  the bill in committee that would put a moratorium 
on aspartame until NIH completed independent studies on the flood of 
aspartame problems they were seeing: seizures, blindness, headaches, 
sexual dysfunction, behavioral problems, especially in children, drug 
interactions and birth defects.

About that time  Dr. James Bowen wrote FDA that “aspartame is mass 
poisoning of the American public and 70 countries” – today over 
100. 
<http://www.dorway.com/drbowen.txt>http://www.dorway.com/drbowen.txt 
The good doctor wrote: “For this reason, I am opposed to labeling 
aspartame content of food and drinks.  To do so would imply that the 
government is taking some sort of responsible action….when the only 
responsible action would be to immediately take aspartame off the 
market, fully disclose its toxicities, offer full compensation to the 
injured, public and criminally prosecute anyone who participated in 
the fraudulent placement of aspartame on the marketplace.”

How was the new FDA Commissioner,  Arthur Hayes,  get rewarded for 
over-ruling the Board of Inquiry?  He was hired as a consultant to 
NutraSweet’s PR Agency on a 10-year contract at $1,000.00 a day, and 
nobody’s heard a peep from him since, he got lockjaw.  Who ever heard 
of a PR guy who won’t talk?

Now they began funding professional organizations 
ladies-of-the-evening like the American Diabetes Assn, American 
Dietetic Assn and numerous others to propagandize the public with 
touting asparshame. Of course they also threatened scientists whose 
studies identified the toxicity of this poison. In the UPI 
Investigation Dr. Wurtman was threatened if he did studies on 
aspartame and seizures he would lose his funding. He capitulated. 
Read this report on the 8 month investigation by United Press 
International: 
<http://www.mpwhi.com/upi_1987_aspartame_report.pdf>http://www.mpwhi.com/upi_1987_aspartame_report.pdf 
Dr. Wurtman, too, got a terrible case of aspartame lockjaw, but MIT 
still gets the money.

ILSI, the International Life Sciences Institute, was born in 1978 as 
a “research” front for our favorite poisoners.  It’s board members 
are from Coke, Pepsi, Searle, Monsanto and the rest of the usual 
suspects. If a university won’t play their way the get no pay, that 
is to say, funding for fake “research”.

Over the years many independent studies have been done.  The 
manufacturers say 200 studies that aspartame is safe as rain.  Some 
of those were the ones FDA found fraudulent and sought prosecution 
for, and others were simply bought and paid for quack studies from 
rubber duck labs.

Consider seizure studies by Monsanto, they bought Searle in 
l985: 
<http://www.holisticmed.com/aspartame/abuse/seizures.html>http://www.holisticmed.com/aspartame/abuse/seizures.html 
Seizures are listed 5 times on the FDA report of 92 symptoms that 
range from male sexual dysfunction to 
death: 
<http://www.mpwhi.com/92_aspartame_symptoms.pdf>http://www.mpwhi.com/92_aspartame_symptoms.pdf 
People are having so many seizures and going blind on aspartame that 
the Community Nutrition Institute filed a petition to ban aspartame 
in l986. Again the manufacturers put in the fix to prevent it from 
being banned.
They were so worried someone would have a seizure they actually gave 
people anti-seizure medication in the Rowan study.  ‘

Another impeccable “study” involved one-day consumption of,  believe 
it or not:  a single capsule of aspartame. Tantamount to smelling the 
bottle.  The got it peer reviewed with their power.  So when 
consumers complain of seizures they say “we did studies and aspartame 
doesn’t cause seizures”.

                   I smoked a Lucky once and I’m fine, so nicotine 
doesn’t cause cancer!

They have all bases covered.  Today front groups like Calorie Control 
Council, with full knowledge that aspartame causes birth defects and 
mental retardation actually push the 
poison: 
<http://www.wnho.net/mh_aspartame_letter.htm>http://www.wnho.net/mh_aspartame_letter.htm

When 60 Minutes did a story about aspartame and brain tumors the 
manufactures claimed to have all these studies showing safety.  Dr. 
Ralph Walton who was on the show decided to research who funded the 
“studies”:<http://www.dorway.com/peerrev.html>http://www.dorway.com/peerrev.html 
Note that 92% of independent peer-reviewed studies show problems 
aspartame causes, while those funded or controlled by industry all 
say it’s safe. If you eliminate 6 studies the FDA, aspartame’s branch 
office in Washington, messed with, and one pro-aspartame sponsored 
summary, 100% of independent scientific peer reviewed studies show 
aspartame problems.

As Dr. Bowen said: this is mass poisoning of the world.  Aspartame 
destroys the brain, the optic nerve, the immune system and central 
nervous system.  It devastates every organ of the body.  Epidemic 
obesity, diabetes, sexual dysfunction, retinopathy and neuropathy, 
optic nerve destruction, convulsions and insulin reactions, MS, 
Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, IQ depreciation and dozens of other 
afflictions have been inflicted upon us by this deadly neurotoxic 
carcinogenic “sweetener”.

According to the prestigious Ecologist, aspartame was listed with the 
pentagon in an inventory of prospective biochemical warfare weapons 
submitted to Congress. 
<http://www.mpwhi.com/ecologist_september_2005.pdf>http://www.mpwhi.com/ecologist_september_2005.pdf

Studies show the horrific damage done to the body.  For instance, the 
Trocho Study shows the formaldehyde converted from the free methyl 
alcohol actually embalms tissue and damages DNA. 
<http://www.mpwhi.com/formaldehyde_from_aspartame.pdf>www.mpwhi.com/formaldehyde_from_aspartame.pdf

Here are summaries of the two aspartame studies, Ramazzini, that 
showed aspartame to be a  multipotential carcinogen, passed down 
through the mother:

DR. MORANDO SOFFRITTI, lead researcher on two groundbreaking 
long-term aspartame studies. He was recently honored at New York’s Mt 
Sinai School of Medicine with the Irving J Selikoff Award For his 
outstanding contributions to the identification of environmental and 
industrial carcinogens and his promotion of independent scientific 
research. Reviewing his two impeccable aspartame studies. Dr. 
Soffritti explains:

The first ERF study (2005) was conducted on 1800 Sprague-Dawley rats 
(100-150/per sex/per group) In order to simulate daily human intake, 
aspartame was added to the standard rat diet in quantities of 5000, 
2500, 100, 500, 20, 4, and 0 mg/Kg of body weight. Treatment of the 
animals began at 8 weeks of age and continued until spontaneous 
death. The results show that APM causes a statistically significant, 
dose-related increase of lymphomas/leukemias and malignant tumors of 
the renal pelvis in females and malignant tumors of peripheral nerves 
in males. These results demonstrate for the first time that APM is a 
carcinogenic agent, capable of inducing malignancies at various dose 
levels, including those lower than the current acceptable daily 
intake (ADI) for humans (50 mg/kg of body weight in the US, 40 mg/kg 
of body weight in the EU).

The second ERF study (2007) was conducted on 400 Sprague-Dawley rats 
(70-95/per sex/per group). In order to simulate daily human intake, 
aspartame was added to the standard rat diet in quantities of 100, 
20, and 0 mg/Kg of body weight. Treatment of the animals began on the 
12th day of fetal life until natural death. The results of the second 
study show an increased incidence of lymphomas/leukemias in female 
rats with respect to the first study. Moreover, the study shows that 
when lifespan exposure to APM begins during fetal life, the age at 
which lymphomas/leukemias develop in females is anticipated. For the 
first time, a statistically significant increase in mammary cancers 
in females was also observed in the second study. The results of this 
transplacental carcinogenicity bioassay not only confirm, but also 
reinforce the first experimental demonstration of APMs multipotential 
carcinogenicity.

Over six years ago I petitioned the FDA to ban aspartame.  The FDA 
has 180 days to answer it.  They refuse, obviously because I’m using 
their own words, and they don’t know how to get around the fact that 
everything is a matter of record.   If it wasn’t so criminal one 
would have to laugh at their propaganda – the idea that someone might 
even consider believing them.  For instance, they will tell you there 
is just a small amount of methanol, and there is more in 
oranges.  What they don’t say is that in oranges that it is 
accompanied by ethanol which is the classic antidote for methanol 
toxicity and takes it out of your body safely.  Here is a peer 
reviewed journal article about it. 
<http://www.mpwhi.com/aspartame_methanol_and_public_health.pdf>http://www.mpwhi.com/aspartame_methanol_and_public_health.pdf 
Methanol also binds to pectin.  In aspartame there is no 
ethanol.  Here is their basic propaganda answered with

A detox formula for aspartame victims endorsed by Dr. Russell 
Blaylock, Neurosurgeon:

Available are his excellent books and a CD :”The Truth About Aspartame”

There are efforts now in states and countries to rid the planet of 
aspartame.  It is genetically engineered.  The manufacturers are get 
people in high places addicted.  When I testified to the Senate in 
New Mexico, half the senators were sipping Diet Coke.  Presidents 
Clinton and Bush were addicted.  Methanol is classified as a 
narcotic, it causes chronic methanol poisoning. This effects the 
dopamine system of the brain producing addiction.

  I’ve lectured in other countries and I can tell you people are sick 
and dying the world over on this poison. It would be great to see it 
banned from California.  First of all its illegally on the market 
because it violates the Delaney Amendment.  Here are comments from an 
FDA toxicologist, Dr. Adrian Gross, to Congress on 8/1/85:

Dr. Gross testified that at least one of Searle’s studies “has 
established beyond ANY REASONABLE DOUBT that aspartame is capable of 
inducing brain tumors in experimental animals and that this 
predisposition of it is of extremely high significance. … In view 
of these indications that the cancer causing potential of aspartame 
is a matter that had been established WAY BEYOND ANY REASONABLE 
DOUBT, one can ask: What is the reason for the apparent refusal by 
the FDA to invoke for this food additive the so-called Delaney 
Amendment to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act?”

The Delaney Amendment makes it illegal to allow any residues of 
cancer causing chemicals in foods. In his concluding testimony Gross 
asked, “Given the cancer causing potential of aspartame how would the 
FDA justify its position that it views a certain amount of aspartame 
as constituting an allowable daily intake or ‘safe’ level of it? Is 
that position in effect not equivalent to setting a ‘tolerance’ for 
this food additive and thus a violation of that law? And if the FDA 
itself elects to violate the law, who is left to protect the health 
of the public?” Congressional Record SID835:131 (August 1, l985)

Here is my letter to the Assembly Committee on Health which exposes 
the fact that it’s adulterated: 
<http://www.mpwhi.com/letter_to_a_n_kim_california_ach.htm>http://www.mpwhi.com/letter_to_a_n_kim_california_ach.htm 
The adulteration  means it violates interstate commerce laws.

Consumer power is winning the war against this toxin. Holland 
Sweetener, the largest European aspartame producer closed in 2006. 
Another European maker also quit. In Japan Tosh stopped making it as 
well.  Merisant, in the USA went bankrupt for $230,000,000 in 
January, 2009.  47 members of Parliament signed for a ban in the 
UK.  There is continuing effort to get banned in the 
Philippines.  Romania banned it in the early 90’s because it’s 
carcinogenic. And now the European Food Safety Authority is doing a review.

Today no drug is safe if the consumer is using aspartame because of 
the interaction due to damage to the mitochondria.  It’s used in 
hospitals because of the dietitians making patients even sicker.

The Nutratanic hit the iceberg and Coke & Pepsi are in the lifeboats 
with new sweeteners in the works. Japan’s Ajinomoto and the USA 
NutraSweet Co are still slapping around in the frigid waters of 
consumer condemnation.

  If I can provide further data I’ll gladly do so. There is no way to 
show safety on aspartame with honest, unbiased studies.  Eliminate 
industry studies to defend its product and you’ll see how deadly is 
this toxin.  Dr. Bill Deagle said its more deadly than depleted 
uranium because its ubiquitous  in our food.

Top 5 Suspected Everyday Carcinogens http://lymebook.com/fight/top-5-suspected-everyday-carcinogens/ http://lymebook.com/fight/top-5-suspected-everyday-carcinogens/#respond Mon, 27 Sep 2010 16:30:25 +0000 http://lymebook.com/fight/?p=1681 Full article: a new report 

Excerpt:

Some carcinogens you already know and fear: cigarettes, asbestos, smoked meat.

But what about the ones you’ve never even heard of? That’s the crux of a new report from theAmerican Cancer Society (ACS), which rounds up 20 “suspected carcinogens” the organization would like to see studied more extensively.

Of course, that research, if it happens, will come after the chemicals, ingredients — and even lifestyle choices — are already embedded into the bedrock of our 24/7 economy.

“The objectives of this report are to identify research gaps and needs for 20 agents prioritized for review based on evidence of widespread human exposures and potential carcinogenicity in animals or humans,” Elizabeth Ward, the co-author of the report, said. 

So just what are these potential cancer causers lurking in our everyday environs? Surge Desk runs down five (not so awesome) favorites.

1. Styrene

Styrene, and its chemical compound colleague styrene-7,-8-oxide, threaten to be a stoner’s worst nightmare. Although only weakly linked to cancer in humans, there’s enough evidence in animal studies to earn the compounds a spot in the top 20.

Where will you find it? Cigarettes, marijuana and leeching into your midnight munchies via foam food packaging. 

How can you avoid it? If you eat, this is one urine test you’re doomed to fail. Styrene was detected in the urine of 87 percent of study participants during a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention trial last year.

A Wake-Up Story, by Healthy Child Healthy World http://lymebook.com/fight/a-wake-up-story-by-healthy-child-healthy-world/ http://lymebook.com/fight/a-wake-up-story-by-healthy-child-healthy-world/#respond Tue, 31 Aug 2010 20:22:37 +0000 http://lymebook.com/fight/?p=1573

Linda’s comment:  This video is simple and to the point….if you don’t care about your own health, please think about your children and grandchildren.  We know that babies are born into our world carrying 500 to 600 environmental toxins….There was a study done using 600 newborn babies within hours after birth…the blood tests results were very alarming….WATCH THIS VIDEO MORE THAN ONCE….pass it on to your grown children…show it to your place of worship…show it to everyone you can think of…This video shows hundreds of chemicals, etc., etc. etc., that are harming YOU, me and YOUR CHILDREN AND GRAND-CHILDREN….
 
What moms do not realize is their unborn child becomes the “toxic dump” for all the assaults and poor eating habits while carrying their child.  What needs to be done to help prevent or curtail these toxic loads is AT LEAST one year from becoming pregnant, the mother and father need to  clean up their bodies and consider a lifelong daily detox, prior to getting pregnant, AND after that year continue the detox. Your unborn child will have a better chance in life.
 
I personally did the wrong things when I was pregnant….I DIDN’T smoke or drink alcoholor take any medications, BUT I sucked down Diet Coke and Diet Dr Pepper and ate things that were unhealthy.  I didn’t eat organically, I took my folic, but no other supplements….I made a lot of mistakes….then I had 14 amalgams in my mouth and ALL the mercury from those amalgams were dumping DAILY into my body for my unborn child to take in as I chewed gum and ate. (the chewing of gum and foods releases on going Mercury into your bodies.  Bottom-line we are bringing children into the world who are already full of toxins and pathogens…..THIS MUST STOP…
 
This video, I hope, will bring education and awareness to all who care….even if the adults will not make the changes for themselves, make those changes for your children and grandchildren.
 
One last thing….think about those children who got “SLAMMED” with vaccinations on top of their already toxic bodies AND people wonder why we are dealing with Autism….Autism justisn’t caused by vaccinations, IMHO!!!!  However, think about it…..these babies are born with already toxic bodies, THEN they get 14 plus vaccinations within the first 2 years of their life….If you know those that are vaccinating babies, PLEASE get them to demand that those vaccinations be given ONE AT A TIME….BTW, my 30 year old daughter got her first 3 in 1 shot, got seriously ill and I said NO MORE….Yes, I took on the schools, and they backed down.  Now Arizona has 3 laws on the books to help protect parents who don’t want vaccinations….One other thing…When my daughters playmates got the chicken pox, measles, And mumps, I ran my daughter over to their house to play and get a natural exposure…..I protected her with high dosing of VitC and good children’s vitamins…PLUS, she got NO sugar…. Just be aware, if your child shows and/or showed no problems with vaccinations, they can have many problems as they go older….Don’t forget those vaccines were made and given before all the stink about nasty vaccines….KNOWLEDGE IS POWER….take charge of you own healthcare journey…some docs hate this, but alternative docs love it when you take the lead…they have a better chance of getting you well, when you lead the team….
 
What is more important than the health of your children and grand-children???
 
Keep a smile on your face, love in your heart and walk with the angels, holding hands in the “chain of love”….

Shower of toxic particles could corrode lungs… http://lymebook.com/fight/shower-of-toxic-particles-could-corrode-lungs/ http://lymebook.com/fight/shower-of-toxic-particles-could-corrode-lungs/#respond Thu, 05 Aug 2010 16:57:56 +0000 http://lymebook.com/fight/?p=1460  

Linda’s Comments:  This is not just happening in California but all over the world.  Our environmental toxins are literally killing us….WE ALL must work together to get laws into place to clean up the toxins we are breathing.  This is why I preach to all about getting on a good lifelong detox program.  We must do everything we can to avoid these chemicals and toxins, but when we can’t theere are too many things we can take to help to neutralize and to Scientific medicine is not going to think outside of the box, so YOU must do research and study the methods that will help protect you, your children and grand-children.  What a toxic world we have created for future generations.
 
I was at a meeting on Tuesday night of about 200 people….I had to step outside in the hall because of the perfumes worn by men and women.  I can even tell you what kind of laundry detergent and fabric softeners people are using…..It simply amazes me how totally uneducated people are and not one thinks about the chemicals going to their prostate, breasts, ovaries, lungs, etc., etc., etc.  They just want to smell good!!   Makes you wonder how good they are going to feel when the doc says, “You have Cancer”…. I came home from that meeting sick as a dog…felt like I had a bad case of the flu.  I immediately began what I call a “crisis detox”…..went to bed and felt fatigued all day today….PEOPLE WAKE UP…Yes there are some who have a much stronger immune than I do, but there are more of me than them….give some consideration to others right to live….thank about children, who are living in this toxic world….
 
I can personally answer the feeling of “You Got CANCER”….I felt a kick in my stomach, my heart begin to race, sadness flooded my heart then the FEAR set in…..The people that say to me “Well you got to die of something” makes me livid and I want to reach over and smack them.  What a lame excuse for not changing their lifestyle.  I guess their families don’t mean anything to them?  If you don’t care about yourself then for goodness sake think about our children in our toxic world today.
 
Education and AWARENESS is vital to our survival….don’t hesitate to let someone know their perfumes or clothing is effecting you.  How else are they going to learn?
 
Keep a smile on your face, love in your heart and walk with the angels, holding hands in the “Chain of Love”

From Dr. Gordon:
Air pollution is now from a new yet to be identified source of the latest form of pollution when we factor in the chemical dispersants and the oil vapors in the Gulf. We may all want to use a respirator or at the very least protect ourselves with daily detoxification.

We already have a 600% increase in lung cancer in women over the past decade and an epidemic of asthma.

From the attached article note these comments:

“If there is a surge in ultra-fine pollution particles, it makes twitchy airways even more twitchy,” he said. “It results in a much lower threshold of allergens to create an asthmatic response or an attack.”

For asthmatics, Nel said conventional treatment does not address the problems created by pollution. He said science would have to alter medications, using the kind of antioxidant chemicals found in broccoli and other natural sources to combat the lung injuries.

I hope more will learn that MACA has the glucosinolate found in Broccoli but does much more, which is why I consume a level tsp twice a day of MACA, as part of my power drink that includes Beyond Fiber and my Organic Green and 4000 mg of BioEn’R-G’y C in each 12 ounce cup and a ZeoGold capsule.

Excerpt:
A mysterious shower of microscopic chemicals near a Fresno shopping center could be the first evidence of a broad, undetected assault on the lungs of San Joaquin Valley residents.
If confirmed in other Valley cities, it means many thousands of people are daily breathing these cocktails of chemicals – known as ultra-fine particles — that corrode and damage lungs.

The plume in Fresno probably spreads over many square miles, not just the Fashion Fair area where they were discovered, said UC Davis atmospheric scientist Anthony Wexler, who detected the pollution.

Sensitive, expensive equipment is needed to detect and study ultrafine pollution. Science is only now defining the possible problem.

Wexler revealed Fresno’s midday rise in microscopic pollution last month at an air-quality conference, saying he and others will continue studying them to determine the source and extent of the plume.

Researchers also must figure out what’s in the particles and more clearly define the possible health threat. It may be years before local, state and federal officials can develop a cleanup strategy.

The particles are so small that 1,000 of them would fit across the width of a human hair. For years, science has known that such particles exist, but they are thousands of times smaller than previously studied particles in dust, soot and diesel smoke.

Don’t miss the excellent videos!

Excerpt:

We have an increasingly dangerous and poisoned world exactly for the reason that the people at the top of the human heap make a lot of money poisoning our world and the people in it and they are not going to tell you about it. The whole idea of poison through the ages was to knock off adversaries without any clear trace back like an arrow in the back gives. What’s the point of an assassin advertizing his dirty deed?
 
Scientists Consensus Statement on the Use of Chemical Dispersants
in the Gulf of Mexico calling for the Obama Administration to
immediately halt chemical aerial spraying in the Gulf region.
 
They have not been warning people about living downwind of a coal-fired power plant or about the dangers of mercury in medicine and dentistry. They certainly have no intention of changing their tune so they will not be warning anyone about the true dangers of oil toxicity and the chemicals they are using to disperse the oil. It looks like certain communities along the Gulf are turning into overly large gas chambers and British Petroleum thinks they care about people. And the Obama administration is allowing it all to go on and history will remember that President Obama did not go down into the Gulf in the early days with the Army, Navy and Marines to stop BP from using Corexit.
