Contrary to popular belief that PARKINSON'S is
genetic and an 'old age' disease, the AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION has
just declared that the culprits for these devastating tremors are
pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, and various chemicals. (American
Medical Association Publication 27 January 99).
Add to this stunning admission the fact that in my
overcoming terminal cancer of the breast, throat, and liver, my friends
and I discovered that the underlying poisons in my death-inviting
disease were heavy metal toxicity (basic substances in pesticides,
herbicides, and insecticides). In 1990 - 1991, lab analyses of my blood
and urine revealed a thriving mass of poisons in my body including:
Dioxin, Mercury, Aluminum, and Arsenic, Cadmium, Copper, Lead and
several other chemicals. This factual revelation led me to a determined
exploratory in several directions at once. During the period 1994 -
1996, a unique means of ridding me of these invasive metals emerged: an
unprecedented combination of clays, herbs and spices that provided a
natural means of drawing these vicious poisons from my body. My life was
given back to me. To finally become 'clean' again was an ultimate
experience incomparable to anything else in my life. To pay back this
gift that gave me these extra years, I've taken all that special
knowledge, expanded on it, and now share it with others.
As most of us know Parkinson's shaking palsy or, in
extreme cases, paralysis is a progressive disease of the nervous system
in which essential nerve cells are destroyed. The symptoms are initiated
by an imbalance of chemicals in the brain so that messages between
nerve cells that control muscle function become confused. In Parkinson's
this disorientation results in muscular rigidity, cramping, involuntary
tremors, impaired speech, a staring facial expression, drooling, a
short shuffling gait and a characteristic 'pill-rolling' movement of the
thumb and forefinger as they rub against each other.
Finally, the FDA approved Deprenyl, a drug which
slows the progress of the disease for about a year. The head and hand
tremors are the most noticeable improvement. However, Dr. Kurt W.
Donsbach DC, ND, PhD in an article in Wellness Lifestyle (May, 1990)
reported that an extensive exploratory into the effect of nutrients on
Parkinson's was made with a control group in which mega doses of
vitamins E and C were given. It appeared to postpone the effect on the
incapacitating tremors and other symptoms. The evaluation revealed that
the drug, Deprenyl, worked only 40% as well as the nutritional
supplements.
THE PESTICIDE CULPRIT
Realize that 1.3 MILLION TONS of Pesticide,
involving 50,000 pesticide combinations, are used each year in just the
U.S., we are bound to be affected by them: by the air we breathe, the
water we drink and, certainly, the food we eat. Many of the pesticides
are used only for cosmetic purposes: i.e. making redder apples,
unblemished peaches; redder tomatoes and more beautiful and more salable
oranges.
In the book "Truth About Where You Live", by
Benjamin A Goldman, he reports extensive studies of pesticides and
chemical toxicity related to Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and Lou Gehrig's
disease. He also points out that the insidious motor neuron disease has
been correlated with rural farming throughout the country. He says,
"Symptoms of neurological impairment can range from drowsiness,
depression, dizziness and confusion, to death. Pesticides can also cause
immune system malfunctions. In 1980, the Environmental Protection
Agency set up a SuperFund Program to dispose of 1,200 toxic waste
locations that were 'potentially injurious' to man. In ten years, only
50 of these sites have been cleaned up. At the present rate, it will
take another 230 years to dispose of the 1,150 remaining except that
since 1990, there have been another 32,000 such waste dumps classified
as potentially hazardous! Is there any wonder why we are faced with the
challenges of polluted bodies!
In our continuing research, we have found many
diseases DIRECTLY related to the toxic presence of chemicals and metals,
not only identified with tremor-illnesses, but associated with severe
allergic response and anti-immune diseases. (Sharma 1981)
THE MERCURY CULPRIT
Mercury poisoning, among others, often has several
of the characteristics of Parkinson's: shakiness in the hands, feet,
head, along with the twitching of the face, numbness and tingling in the
extremities. It has, similarly, been associated with Candidiases,
Epstein Barr, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFID) and occasionally,
Fibromyalgia. In "God Helps Those That Help Themselves", by Hannah
Kroeger., Edmund Fink says, "Mercury poisoning can cause damage to the
basic ganglia of the brain which can make 'Parkinson-like symptoms.'
Mercury can cause coarse, jerky movements, gross in coordination and can
interfere with precise movements such as writing and eating." Although
dental amalgams in the past have been considered safe, many are known to
have generated allergic reactions, usually in the form of skin rashes.
Of even greater concern are the cases of immune suppression and numerous
toxic effects. One dentist experimentally removed amalgam fillings from
three patients and observed an increase in the proportion of T-cells.
When the amalgam was restored, the T-cell percentages dropped again.
This study suggests that an amalgam filling chronically depresses these
vital fighting cells in the immune system. (Eggleston 1984). (Reduced
T-cell percentages increase the risk of cancer, other infectious and
anti-immune diseases.)
PLEASE NOTE: Nickel, a
known carcinogen (cancer-producing) metal, is also used in dental work
and likewise has an adverse effect on T-cell percentages. (Maximum
Immunity by Michael A. Weiner, Ph. D.)
THE ALUMINUM CULPRIT
In the Harvard Health Letter, (Oct. 1990, Vol 15,
No. 11), studies found that "Aluminum accumulates in lesions in the
brains of Alzheimer's patients. It builds up in degenerating nerve
fibers (neurotic plaques) and shriveled filaments inside the cells
(neurofibrary tangles).
According to Louise Gittleman in HOW TO STAY YOUNG
AND HEALTHY IN A TOXIC WORLD, The major areas where aluminum accumulates
is in the brain, kidneys, and GI tract. And in his book, FIGHTING
RADIATION, Steve Schnechter, N.D. not only indicates aluminum's
connection with Alzheimer's, depression, constipation and Schiziphrenia,
but says "Like many of the other environmental toxins, aluminum has
cumulative effects in the human body - what started out at age fifteen
as occasional headaches may by age fifty be Parkinson's disease." He
adds that people who eat animal foods such as meats, poultry, and dairy
are regularly ingesting higher concentrations of aluminum.
THE ARSENIC CULPRIT
Arsenic exposure causes numbness of the limbs and
loss of coordination as part of its long list of symptoms. It is found
in heavy industrial areas in the air, water, pesticides, and
insecticides and is associated with Epilepsy, Arthritis, and
Arteriosclerosis. (Arsenic and Your Environment, Dr. Bara Fischer,
1986).
THE LEAD CULPRIT
Pesticides, paint, water and a long list of domestic
products commonly contain lead and long exposure to it leads to
tremors, twitching of the face muscles, jerking of the limbs, confusion,
mania, seizures; a tremendous list of symptoms. The metal affects more
than 1.7 million young children. In 1991, lead poisoning was referred to
as the most common and socially devastating environmental disease of
young children. Even in small amounts, lead poisoning damages children's
brains, slowing their mental capacities and lowering their intelligence
level. Note particularly, that it is directly associated with Epilepsy
and kidney cancer.
THE CADMIUM CULPRIT
Cadmium, like, is dangerously pervasive in our air,
food, and water and is also a cumulative poison that can cause a wide
range of toxicity symptoms. A principal source is again, the pesticides.
Significant amounts are found in cigarette smoke. Other common sources
are smoke from burning of wastes, wood, garbage, etc.; industrial
effluents, plastics, fertilizers, auto exhaust, refined foods, coffee,
and be forewarned: The first water out of the tap each day, hot tap
water, and water from galvanized or black plastic pipes contain cadmium.
It is also associated with hypertension (high blood pressure).
THE FLUORINE/FLUORIDE CULPRIT
The Parkinson's-like tremors are, likewise, also
associated with the toxic substance, Fluorine/Fluoride. It particularly
affects the kidneys and promotes low blood pressure. It causes the
muscles to become flabby and degenerated. Fluoride destroys our will to
live! "Many commercial toothpastes contain cavity-fighting fluoride.
Each one of these tubes contains 1,000 - 2,000 mgs. of fluoride, enough
to kill a small child who might eat the whole contents." (Journal of
Pediatrics 1987) People taking tablets containing one-half of one
milligram of fluoride per day (the amount found in 1 to 2 pints of
fluoridated water) can expect to experience: Black tar-like stools,
stiffness, bloody vomit, diarrhea, faintness, nausea and vomiting,
shallow breathing, stomach cramps or pain, tremors, unusual excitement,
unusual increase in saliva, watery eyes, weakness, constipation, loss of
appetite, pain and aching bones, skin rash, and sores in the mouth and
on the lips. (US Pharmacopia Volumes on Drug Information 1983 quotes
Hannah Kroeger's book, GOD HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES.)
THE INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS CULPRIT
Seven children in Woburn, MA died of leukemia
because of industrial chemicals in their drinking water. (A CIVIL ACTION
by Jonathon Harr). Children seem more susceptible to these toxic
chemicals than adults. Virtually all industrial pollutions, metals,
chemicals, pesticides, insecticides play a major role in depressing and
breaking down our immune system and are the source of 85% - 95% of all
diseases. (Dr. Bara H. Fischer, 1986, On Arsenic In your Environment.)
THE POLLUTION SOLUTION
In recent years, alternative means of protecting or
ridding the body from these toxic poisons has begun to prove a natural
means of protecting us from these hazards.
RECOMMENDED SOLUTIONS
- Get a reputable water filter and a well designed
air ionizer for your home and your office. The air and water elements
are of extreme importance in generating a poisonous-free lifestyle.
- TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR RESEARCH. Start clearing
toxic poisonous substance from your body. Great success has been
achieved with very special clay baths where the poisons are magnetically
(naturally) pulled from your body. The metals in your system are
naturally positively charged which means that our negatively charged
clay formulae automatically attract the metals and chemicals, pulling
the injurious substances out through your pores to bind with the clay
and its various herbs and spices. (PLEASE NOTE: There are several
hundred types of clay. Most of them do not have the magnetic action we
have found in ours.)
- Environmental Detox Clay Bath: assists in removing
industrial and chemical poisons including DDT, lead, pesticides,
insecticides, vaccination poisons and radiation.
- Arsenic Detox Clay Bath: assists in clearing arsenic.
- Aluminum Detox Clay Bath: assists in removing aluminum and other metals.
- Mercury/Dental Detox Clay Bath: assists in removing mercury.
- Smoker's/Drug Detox Clay Bath: assists in removing numerous chemicals and drugs found in tobacco, smoke; especially cadmium.
- Tox-Away assists in clearing radiation, Lead, Acid Rain, & toxic metals.
- Clear-Out assists in cleaning situations associated with metal and chemical toxicity.
FOR PARKINSON'S DISEASE
We suggest the Environmental Detox Clay Bath to
remove the pesticides and in certain cases, the Dental/Mercury Detox
Bath. We also suggest your checking on the Manganese in your diet! In
Louise Gittleman's book, HOW TO LIVE LONGER AND STAY HEALTHY IN A TOXIC
WORLD: "Manganese is essential to the formation of certain enzymes,
helps the reproductive system, assists in blood sugar regulation and
supports ligaments, discs, and bones. IN EXCESS, however, manganese can
be toxic and develop 'manganese madness'. The initial symptoms include
exhaustion, a trance-like hypnotic state, tremendous irritability and
erratic behavior with wild emotional swings, hallucinations and
impotence. Some develop symptoms resembling those of Parkinson's
disease," says Louise. Too much manganese may be a big clue to check out
for Parkinson's and related tremor diseases. According to Hannah
Kroeger, Master Herbalist, sage herb is excellent for reducing
salivation in Parkinson's disease.
DIETS FOR PARKINSON'S
"A diet of fresh vegetables, fruits, and whole-grain
products and fluids to promote good digestion. Soft or pureed foods to
ease swallowing. If taking levodopa, cut back on high protein foods."
(Foods That Harm, Foods That Heal by Reader's Digest) A periodic cleansing diet is a simple 3-day diet
using green beans, zucchini, parsley, and celery. Check out our section
on recipes & also refer to the Toxic Metal Level Chart listing the
toxic metals associated with various diseases and the antidotes that
assist in eliminating the metals or chemicals.
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT WITHOUT YOUR GETTING RID OF THE
METALS AND CHEMICALS IN YOUR BODY THE DISEASES WILL CONTINUE TO BE
CHRONIC. THE BODY CANNOT HEAL ITSELF. YOU HAVE TO HELP! THEY MUST BE
REMOVED!
