Choosing healthy foods now called a “mental disorder”

 

Linda’s comment:  “Now choosing healthy foods now called a mental disorder???”…..WHO  IS NUTS HERE???  It appears as though MonSATAN is spending a lot of money opposing what those of us, who have a clue have figured out!!  We are TIRED of being poisoned…
 
It is very simple….find an organic farmer (check them out make sure they are truly organic), or begin your own garden, which can be done on your patio, and DO NOT BUY GMO FOODS…We are lucky here in Arizona that we have lots of organic foods that we can find at several dozen Farmer’s Market’s……It isn’t a mental disease to NOT want to eat the poisons??!!!
 
However, “nervous about eating correctly” is something that the entire world needs to think about.  Yes, making those right choices in food is NOT a disease but a SMART shopper.    How insulting that they are calling my good choices a “disease”….<looking in the mirror> Do they see STUPID stamped on my forehead? 
 
This kind of BS about mental disease is proving one thing to me, WE ARE WINNING the battle by demanding that the food industry STOP poisoning us…Again, I remind you that you can have a garden on your small patio’s….they now have hanging veggie plants, or you can use a big clay pot, and now many are buying organic hay bales to plant food in….all of these things fit nicely on your own patios, even if you live in apartments.
 
To those that are forced to eat the GMO foods, you need to consider getting on a lifelong daily detox program to help neutralize the GMO, pesticides, herbicides and toxins you are eating.  I try and find as many organic restaurants as I can find (and the Phoenix area is growing big time for organic restaurants), but when I can’t eat organically, I make sure I am taking my FIGHT protocol to help neutralize the garbage I am forced to eat……I have been on this program for over 1 1/2 years and I will stay on it.  It allows me to eat in public restaurants that are not organic. 
 
Bottom-line, DO NOT FALL FOR THIS IDEA OF A NEW DISEASE….it is just another way to get you to continue to eat the garbage they are forcing on us….just remember this, IF YOU DON’T BUY IT, THEN THIS WILL FORCE THE FOOD INDUSTRY TO MAKE CHANGES…..Don’t let them DUMB you down!!
 
Here’s to HEALTHY EATING….Linda
Excerpt:
In its never-ending attempt to fabricate “mental disorders” out of every human activity, the psychiatric industry is now pushing the most ridiculous disease they’ve invented yet: Healthy eating disorder.

This is no joke: If you focus on eating healthy foods, you’re “mentally diseased” and probably need some sort of chemical treatment involving powerful psychotropic drugs. The Guardian newspaper reports, “Fixation with healthy eating can be sign of serious psychological disorder” and goes on to claim this “disease” is called orthorexia nervosa — which is basically just Latin for “nervous about correct eating.”

But they can’t just called it “nervous healthy eating disorder” because that doesn’t sound like they know what they’re talking about. So they translate it into Latin where it sounds smart (even though it isn’t). That’s where most disease names come from: Doctors just describe the symptoms they see with a name like osteoporosis (which means “bones with holes in them”).

Getting back to this fabricated “orthorexia” disease, the Guardian goes on to report, “Orthorexics commonly have rigid rules around eating. Refusing to touch sugar, salt, caffeine, alcohol, wheat, gluten, yeast, soya, corn and dairy foods is just the start of their diet restrictions. Any foods that have come into contact with pesticides, herbicides or contain artificial additives are also out.”

Wait a second. So attempting to avoid chemicals, dairy, soy and sugar now makes you a mental health patient? Yep. According to these experts. If you actually take special care to avoid pesticides, herbicides and genetically modified ingredients like soy and sugar, there’s something wrong with you.

But did you notice that eating junk food is assumed to be “normal?” If you eat processed junk foods laced with synthetic chemicals, that’s okay with them. The mental patients are the ones who choose organic, natural foods, apparently.

What is “normal” when it comes to foods?
I told you this was coming. Years ago, I warned NaturalNews readers that an attempt might soon be under way to outlaw broccoli because of its anti-cancer phytonutrients. This mental health assault on health-conscious consumers is part of that agenda. It’s an effort to marginalize healthy eaters by declaring them to be mentally unstable and therefore justify carting them off to mental institutions where they will be injected with psychiatric drugs and fed institutional food that’s all processed, dead and full of toxic chemicals.

The Guardian even goes to the ridiculous extreme of saying, “The obsession about which foods are “good” and which are “bad” means orthorexics can end up malnourished.”

T regulatory cell numbers and function in Lyme patients

Excerpt:

RESULTS.: In both patient groups, IFN-gamma+ T(H)1 cells in SF were abundant
and enriched ( approximately 50% of CD4+ T cells). In patients
with antibiotic-refractory arthritis, the median percentages of
FoxP3+ Treg were significantly higher in SF than PB (12% versus
6%) (P<0.01) or in SF in patients with antibiotic-responsive
arthritis (12% versus 5%) (P=0.04). Moreover, in the refractory
group, a higher percentage of Treg in SF correlated with a
shorter duration to resolution of arthritis (r = -0.74, P =
0.006). In contrast, patients with fewer Treg had suboptimal
responses to DMARDs and longer duration of arthritis after
antibiotics, and they often required synovectomies for arthritis
resolution. In each group, Treg in SF dampened B.
burgdorferi-specific proliferative responses, and in 2 patients
with refractory arthritis, Treg were functional in non-specific
suppression assays.

Human ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis

Full article: http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&id=20513551&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks

Excerpt:

Human ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis are acute febrile tick-borne
diseases caused by various members of the genera Ehrlichia and
Anaplasma (Anaplasmataceae).
Human monocytotropic ehrlichiosis has become one of the most
prevalent life-threatening tick-borne disease in the United
States. Ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis are becoming more
frequently diagnosed as the cause of human infections, as animal
reservoirs and tick vectors have increased in number and humans
have inhabited areas where reservoir and tick populations are
high.
Ehrlichia chaffeensis, the etiologic agent of human
monocytotropic ehrlichiosis (HME), is an emerging zoonosis that
causes clinical manifestations ranging from a mild febrile
illness to a fulminant disease characterized by multiorgan system
failure. Anaplasma phagocytophilum causes human granulocytotropic
anaplasmosis (HGA), previously known as human granulocytotropic
ehrlichiosis. This article reviews recent advances in the
understanding of ehrlichial diseases related to microbiology,
epidemiology, diagnosis, pathogenesis, immunity, and treatment of
the 2 prevalent tick-borne diseases found in the United States,
HME and HGA.

Prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato

Full article: http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2180/10/157

Excerpt:

Lyme disease is a multi-organ infection disease caused by
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. Lyme disease was first
documented in north-east China in 1986. Since then more than 20
provinces in China were confirmed the existence of nature foci of
Lyme disease. In the present study, a molecular epidemiological
survey was conducted to investigate the presence of Borrelia
burgdorferi sensu lato in rodents from Gansu Province for the
first time. Result: A total of 140 rodents of 7 species were
examined for Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. by nested-PCR and
culture isolation. The overall infection rate was 22.86%. Two
rodent species most frequently trapped were responsible for all
positive. 3 strains were isolated from Apodemus agrarius, which
belonged to B.

Identification of bartonella infections

Full article: http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&id=20519614&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks

Excerpt:

To determine the role of Bartonella species as causes of acute
febrile illness in humans from Thailand, we used a novel strategy
of co-cultivation of blood with eukaryotic cells and subsequent
phylogenetic analysis of Bartonella-specific DNA products.
Bartonella species were identified in 14 blood clots from febrile
patients. Sequence analysis showed that more than one-half of the
genotypes identified in human patients were similar or identical
to homologous sequences identified in rodents from Asia and were
closely related to B. elizabethae, B. rattimassiliensis, and B.
tribocorum. The remaining genotypes belonged to B. henselae, B.
vinsonii, and B. tamiae. Among the positive febrile patients,
animal exposure was common: 36% reported owning either dogs or
cats and 71% reported rat exposure during the 2 weeks before
illness onset. The findings suggest that rodents are likely
reservoirs for a substantial portion of cases of human Bartonella
infections in Thailand.

Transmission cycles of Borrelia burgdorferi

Full article: http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&id=20514140&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks

Excerpt:

This study was undertaken to determine which rodent species serve
as primary reservoirs for the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia
burgdorferi in commonly occurring woodland types in inland areas
of northwestern California, and to examine whether chaparral or
grassland serve as source habitats for dispersal of B.
burgdorferi- or B. bissettii-infected rodents into adjacent
woodlands. The western gray squirrel (Sciurus griseus) was
commonly infected with B.
burgdorferi in oak woodlands, whereas examination of 30
dusky-footed woodrats (Neotoma fuscipes) and 280 Peromyscus spp.
mice from 13 widely spaced Mendocino County woodlands during 2002
and 2003 yielded only one infected woodrat and one infected deer
mouse (P. maniculatus). These data suggest that western gray
squirrels account for the majority of production by rodents of
fed Ixodes pacificus larvae infected with B. burgdorferi in the
woodlands sampled.

Important announcement from Linda

Linda’s comment:  Detox is a word thrown around today but many do not have a good understanding of the importance of the word.  Some of you do “yearly” detox programs to cleanse your bodies BUT do you realize that once or twice a year of detox is NOT enough.  I encourage all I know to find that continuous “daily” detox that you practice for a lifetime.

 
I found that lifelong daily detox when I began the FIGHT protocol for those who are suffering from autoimmune diseases.  Does it work, YOU BET IT DOES!!!  Many don’t realize that this nasty oil spill in the Gulf will effect them and their families in more ways than one.  YES, our air is becoming more filthy from the fumes that are traveling from the Gulf coast area.  The people who live in these areas need to begin the FIGHT program immediately. 
 
As Dr Gordon mentions below in his article, it is a MUST that you clean up the bedrooms of your children, not just yourselves.  A newborn baby is born with more toxins than I care to mention, then you bring them home to a toxic home.  CLEAN UP YOUR HOMES…..Don’t burn candles UNLESS they are beeswax candles.  I take beeswax candles and put some essential oils in them, then place them on cup warmers to melt them down…..you get nice smells for the areas of your home that you don’t sleep in. 
 
I recently became a distributor for the Austin Air filters, (Welcome to Austin Air), that you can purchase through my 501 (c) 3 non-profit, for my on going fundraiser.  If you are interested in purchasing a unit please contact me at  LymeAngl@aol.com   I have three of these units in my own home and have had them for over 5 years.  Walking into my home is like walking into a “bubble”…..  I strongly suggest that parents consider putting these units in their children’s bedrooms.  The name of my non-profit is C.H.O.I.C.E. (Consumers of Healthcaare Options with Independence, Choice and Experience)…Your purchase becomes a tax write-off.
 
Getting back to our lifelong daily detox, do your research then research some more and read why the FIGHT protocol is essential to your health.  It was designed for those with auto-immune diseases.  For those living near the Gulf coast you must begin now, as your health is at risk.  Don’t delay START today…..

Are you ready for your stem cell treatment yet? All of us know that there are exciting things happening around the world with stem cell research. All of should know that there are risks associated with the treatment, and that all too often, there seem to be no observable benefits.

I continue to point out that if you are bringing a new baby home, I hope all of you will first clean up the nursery and even remove lead from the painted walls, and even check the levels of outgassing of toxins from the carpets etc before you bring the baby into a suboptimal environment.

I have stressed that everyone should watch the two one hour specials from CNN.com/toxicamerica and then go to Google and search on Ten Americans and watch the video that EWG.ORG has made available showing the measurable level of toxins in everyone today.

Please click on this link and look at frequently asked questions so that you are better able to consult with patients about the benefit to risk ratio of their using stem cells to treat their condition.

Since everyone wants a magic bullet that takes away their symptoms, most will not bother to learn my FIGHT program and actually change their diet and really detox etc unless they learn that there are risks associated with stem cell therapy beyond the risk of paying that money and seeing little in the way of results.

I hope that more will first learn my FIGHT program and really do it intensively so that if they then still take stem cell therapy, they have optimized the potential that they will see lasting benefits. And, just like we can protect against some of the adverse effects of vaccines with high dose oral vitamin C, I feel that following my FIGHT program will also lower the potential for some of the adverse outcomes now starting to be reported. These may be from the inappropriate or premature use of stem cells in bodies that have not first been adequately prepared.

I hope that you understand that, for example, a heart transplant for a condition like idiopathic dilated hypertrophic myocardopathy can be associated with a mitochondrial disease. That means it would be very wise to first provide the essential nutrients like Carnitine, CO-Q, etc (my total heart program described in detail elsewhere), which often eliminates the need for the heart transplant in the first place.

However, that nutrient program in addition will maximize the potential that either a heart transplant or stem cell therapy can actually provide a lasting benefit. It is obvious that the heart transplant would fail if no one wakes up to the real diagnosis of mitochondrial disease and provides the specialized nutrients the patient really needs.  Stem cells realistically need as much help as they can get too, like all the lead and mercury out first!

And, to learn even more, the announcement below lists the names of the leaders in the field and the topics being discussed. If you Google the names of any presenter on any topic you are interested in usually you will have instant access to useful information.

We have all heard about the extraordinary promise that stem cell research holds for the treatment of human diseases. Clinics all over the world claim to offer stem cell treatments for a wide variety of conditions. But are all of these treatments likely to be safe and effective?

The ISSCR (International Society for Stem Cell Research) provides information to help you evaluate these claims.

Dr. Gordon’s Webinars – Watch Now, Free of Charge!

The following page was set up for people to listen to what Dr. Gordon has to say about the importance of finding a “LifeLong Daily Detox” protocol that you can stick to.  I have been on this protocol for over 1 1/2 years and let me tell you IT WORKS.

As a Lyme patient I have been dissolving biofilms and reducing the inflammation chronically ill patients have to deal with.  Reducing your total body burden of pathogens and toxins is important in any wellness journey.  Are you tired of having muscle and joint pain?  Would you like to enjoy that organic cup of coffee ? 

It is well worth the time to listen to the Webinar’s that Dr Gordon presented on his outstanding F.I.G.H.T. protocol.  Having battled (5) Cancers and (2) Lyme infections, as well as a host of other health care problems I’m grateful that I found the FIGHT protocol.

Detection of vector-borne agents

Excerpt:

In this study, we evaluated Amblyomma americanum (lone star tick)
in Mississippi for the presence of Ehrlichia chaffeensis,
causative agent of human monocytic ehrlichiosis; Ehrlichia
ewingii, causative agent of human and canine granulocytic
ehrlichiosis; Borrelia lonestari, putative agent of southern
tick-associated rash illness; Francisella tularensis, the agent
of tularemia; and Rickettsia spp., particularly R. amblyommii, a
suspected pathogen. We collected adult A. americanum from four
regions of Mississippi: Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, and
East. Of the ticks collected, 192 were dissected and DNA was
extracted for nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays to
detect the above bacteria. In all, 3% of tick extracts had
evidence of Borrelia sp., 4% for E. chaffeensis, 6% for E.
ewingii, and 44% for a Rickettsia species. As determined by
sequencing, most Rickettsia spp. were R. amblyommii. In addition,
extracts from 42 pools (total of 950) of larval A. americanum
collected in Southwest Mississippi were tested for the presence
of E. chaffeensis and Rickettsia species. Of these extracts from
pools, nine of 37 (24%) were PCR positive for a Rickettsia sp.,
most often, R. amblyommii; none had evidence of E. chaffeensis,
supporting the ability of lone star ticks to transovarially
transmit R. amblyommii, but not E. chaffeensis. This study
demonstrates E.

A case of Borrelia brainstem encephalitis

Excerpt:

We report the case of a 30-year-old man who developed severe
dysphagia owing to neuroborreliosis. He showed dysphagia,
diplopia, hiccups, and walking difficulty Neurological
examination revealed mild disturbance of consciousness, diplopia
on left lateral gaze, left-side-dominant blephaloptosis,
gaze-evoked horizontal nystagmus on left lateral gaze, mild
bilateral muscle weakness, palatoplegia, dysphagia, dysarthria,
and truncal ataxia An increased pharyngeal reflex caused
dysphagia in this patient. An EEG revealed intermittent high
amplitude slow wave activity. However, head MRI, blood count,
serum chemistry, and cerebrospinal fluid examination showed no
abnormality. Initially, brainstem encephalitis with unknown
etiology was diagnosed. The hiccups, diplopia, and ptosis were
improved by corticosteroid therapy, but other symptoms were
refractory to corticosteroid therapy and IVIg.
