			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Arial;">Gut Protein Found To  Protect Against Infection and Intestinal Breakdown</span></strong><br />
Excerpts  from an Article Dated: 13 Feb 2006</p>
<p>Recent  research conducted at UT Southwestern Medical Center has found that a particular protein which binds to bile in the small intestine may hold the key to preventing  infection and intestinal breakdown in people with conditions such as obstructive  jaundice or irritable bowel syndrome.</p>
<p>Bile helps the body absorb  nutrients, kills certain bacteria and helps keep the lining of the intestines  intact. Bile is a major barrier against the infiltration of infectious  microorganisms such as biotoxins aka neurotoxins.</p>
<p>When there’s no bile in the intestines or it is deficient the  intestines allow bacteria to pass through it into the body – a condition  sometimes referred to as leaky gut. It appears that a molecule identified as FXR  binds to bile acids and is responsible for maintaining gut health. It was found  to activate several genes that are known to protect the intestinal lining and  attack bacteria.</p>
<p>This leads me to believe that FXR is inactivated by a  yeast/fungus which is common to not only leaky gut syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome and Crohns, but Chronic Fatigue and  Fibromyalgia as well.</p>
<p>With this information I suggest you get the <a title="Instant Allergy Relief tededwardsdc" href="http://www.instantallergyrelief.tededwardsdc.com/eliminate-your-allergies-today/" target="_blank">Instant Allergy Relief Manual </a>so you can treat yourself  for a deficiency in the FXR protein.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Biotoxins are comprised of a variety of infectious organisms such as bacteria including the spirochetes (Syphilis and <strong>Lyme disease</strong>), viruses, parasites, toxic dinoflagelletes like Pfiesteria, and a multitude of yeast/fungus.</p>
<p>Simply put, biotoxins produce a plethera of neurotoxins. Many of these infectants end within your gall bladder and liver disrupting bile formation creating a neurotoxic biliary sludge that is extremely detrimental to the cell membranes in the Central Nervous System and the Enteric Nervous System or &#8216;second brain&#8217; &#8211; our gut. This sets the stage for the proliferation of conditions like <strong>dysbiosis</strong> and<strong> leaky gut</strong> with their associated <strong>multiple allergies</strong>, <strong>Irritable Bowel Syndrome</strong> (IBS), <strong>Crohn&#8217;s</strong> and various mental emotional brain dysfunctions including <strong>Alzheimer&#8217;s</strong> and <strong>Parkinsons</strong>.<span id="more-5"></span></p>
<p>The gall bladder and liver are responsible for detoxification. When working normally, they remove and dispose of waste products like bilirubin, <em>heavy metals</em>, the afore mentioned biotoxins and the xenobiotics (drugs) the elderly are being subjected to. Of course most of us don&#8217;t have normally functioning gall bladders and livers. When these are compromised we experience biliary stasis enabling infectious materials (biotoxins) to live in the liver and gall bladder and produce a viscous neurotoxic sludge. This cannot be good. In fact, it&#8217;s the primary reason a surgeon is likely to cut out your gall bladded. Not because you don&#8217;t need it. Because they don&#8217;t know how to get rid of the sludge and restore normal function again. By the way, why is that?</p>
<p><strong>How does this biliary sludge build up in the first place?</strong><br />
It seems dieting is one of the main causes.  Prolonged fasting, low fat diets, high carbohydrate diets and restriction of dietary fats can impair biliary flow. This means they impair the bile&#8217;s ability to cleanse the body so that it can get rid of the biotoxins and heavy metals by excreting them via fecal matter. Experiencing irregular, numerous bowel movements may be body&#8217;s attempt to eliminate unwanted infectants or an extremely volatile heavy metal load.</p>
<p>Guess what else neurotoxins have an affinity for. Fat! They love to bind to things in a bodies that are rich in fat. Now you might think that&#8217;s not to bad. I&#8217;ve got plenty of cellulite they can cling to. To bad you&#8217;re forgetting that the primary component of every cell in your body is the membrane that surround it maintaining not only the shape of the cell but the function of the cell. In fact, cell biologists like Bruce Lipton, provide convincing evidence that the actually brain of the cell is this cell membrane which is a bilayer (two) phosophoLIPID (fat) structure. Neurotoxins are capable of dissolving in fatty tissue and moving through it, crossing cell membranes and disrupting the electrical and other vital functions of the cell. This is especially true of the cells that comprise our liver, kidney and brain.</p>
<p><strong>Neurotoxins induce Pain</strong><br />
As fat soluble neurotoxins proliferate (spread) they get busy moving into the cell membranes of our gastrointestinal (GI) tract, messing with our muscles, joints and nerves (does fibromyaglia ring a bell) and sooner or later they enter the liver and bile. Once the biotoxins in our body have released enough neurotoxins to infiltrate the bile they have access to the liver and we are poisoned over and over again because, perhaps you don&#8217;t know this, bile is not made anew everyday it is rather re-circulated and than reabsorbed.</p>
<p>As I mentioned Neurotoxins dissolve into our cell membranes. Now it&#8217;s easy to understand that we don&#8217;t want this to happen because it damages the ability of our cells to control what goes into them and what goes out of them. It also destroys the electrical capacity of our cells. Since our nerve cells are driven by the flow of ions like sodium, calcium and potassium you can see how this can be a serious matter. Neurotoxins attack and inhibit enzyme reactions (our body runs on these) especially those involving glucose production disrupting the energy metabolism (ATP production) of the cell = Chronic Fatigue! And to top it off they encourage the synthesis of the renegade fatty acids &#8211; vary long chain, odd chain and branched chain &#8211; that further impair membrane function. This impairment includes the membranes that surround the organelles and nucleus inside the cell changing the proteins produced by our DNA/RNA as well. No wonder we get diseased.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s something you can actually do about this problem. No it&#8217;s not take a drug. No it&#8217;s not getting your gall bladder removed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;" align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:18pt;"><br />
</span></strong><strong><span style="font-size:16pt;">Longevity is only an</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;" align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:16pt;">EPA and DHA Away</span></strong></p>
<p>Essential fatty acids (EFA’s) cannot be produced in our body; we must get them from <em>dietary sources</em>. There are two types of essential fatty acids that we must be concerned with. One is called omega-6 fatty acids and the other omega-3 fatty acids (FA’s). Omega-3 is further broken down into eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) which each have specific applications in our body which will be covered later.</p>
<p>Omega-6 and Omega-3 FA’s are REQUIRED for the vital functions that occur in all of our cells and tissues. It turns out that <strong>healthy </strong>people have a <strong>higher</strong><em> </em>content of <strong>Omega-3 </strong>oils in their blood than those who are ill. And, because the brain is 60% lipid (fat) and the nerve cells in our brain are 80% lipid it’s easy to understand that our brain requires and benefits greatly from omega-3’s more than any other system of the body.<span id="more-10"></span></p>
<p>The other important thing to realize is that our health really occurs at the level of the cell membrane. This membrane is the brains of our cells. It is composed of phospholipids and cell membrane phospholipids are replenished with omega3 polyunstaurated fatty acids known in scientific circles as PUFA’s.</p>
<p>Donald Rudin, M.D. thinks that the Omega 3 story parallels the story of Beriberi &amp; Pellagra. I hope he’s wrong because it took 200 years for the medical community to accept pellagra was a nutritional deficiency.</p>
<p>&#8220;Compared to 100 years ago, Omega 3 is down 80%, B vitamins are estimated to be down to about 50% of the daily requirement. Vitamin B6 consumption may be low as it is removed in grain milling and not replaced. Vitamins B1, B2, B3 and E have also been lost in food processing. Minerals are depleted in a similar way. Fiber is down 75-80%. Anti-nutrients have increased substantially&#8212;saturated fat, 100%; cholesterol, 50%; refined sugar nearly 1000%; salt up to 500%; and funny fat isomers nearly 1,000%.&#8221;— Dr Rudin said this back in 1988. I think things have actually taken a turn for the worse since than.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Why do I need Fatty Acids?</strong><br />
The main reason lies with the word INFLAMMATION! A healthy body is in a non-inflammatory state which can only be achieved by having sufficient quantities of Omega 3’s to keep the pro-inflammatory omega-6 arachidonic acid combo in check.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Most disease processes are initiated and prolonged when the body produces too much <em>prostaglandin E2</em> (PGE2) which is a <em>pro-inflammatory</em> agent. PGE2 attracts lymphocytes and macrophages which in turn produce cytokines – that are also inflammatory in nature. <em>Cytokines</em> increase the production and activity of COX enzymes which in turn increases the production of PGE2. The pharmaceutical mentality thinks, oh I know, why don’t we create a COX 2 inhibitor? I think, how does this help the cell membrane to heal? Turns out pharmaceutical drugs actually interfere with and prohibit the healing of our cell membranes. I think they’re actually a population control device and the sooner people realize this the longer they’ll likely live.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids has dramatically declined in Western countries over the last century. Most people have an extremely skewed ratio of omega 6 to omega 3. Normally this ratio should be from 1:1 to 4:1. The North American diet currently has omega-6 fats outnumbering omega-3 by a ratio of up to 20:1 (see below for more on this).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">People in diseased states often run 100:1 to 200:1 while those who might consider themselves normal are found to have ratios of 20-30:1. Even the healthiest of people seem to have imbalanced ratios as the food industry puts omega 6 oils into most products found in supermarkets either directly or through animal rearing practices.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In my field, Chiropractic, disc degeneration and herniation is linked to inflammatory processes. When discs and joints get inflamed normal signals to our brain are altered and normal activities of life that would normally not be painful initiate pain</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>What’s this Prostaglandin E2?</strong><br />
In our society we are being exposed to high levels of Omega 6 fats. These are contained in most of the products we purchase at the supermarket. Take a look at the ingredients of the packaged or bottled food you buy and look for the following oils on the label<strong>: Corn, cottonseed, sunflower, safflower, peanut, soy, and canola</strong>. Each of these is Omega 6 (O6) oil. <span> </span>Saturated, refined omega 6 fat, rancid fats, processed oils, and altered fats interfere with oxygen use in our cells. Chemically altered fats are toxic to our cells….These fats kill people. I strongly recommend you avoid corn, sunflower, soy, safflower, canola, or products which contain these oils. This means no hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated fats, no margarine, no shortening and no vegetable oil. Each of these oils are full of omega-6 fats and will only worsen your omega 6/omega 3 ratio.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Another important thing to consider is the relationship between these O6 Fats and Sugar or Carbohydrates which raise insulin levels. When these fats meet insulin they make a substance called Arachidonic Acid (AA) which mixes with those COX enzymes, I mentioned before to produce lots of Prostaglandin E2.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em>So what’s wrong with this you might ask?</em><br />
PGE2 is associated with the following: Fibrosis, Pain, Degenerative Joint Disease, Vascular Disease, Immune System Dysfunction (Increase IgEEE for Allergy), more Free Radicals and the list goes on. . . <span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em>The good news is. . . </em><br />
Dietary omega 3 dramatically reduces the inflammatory response and sustains, or enhances the immune response compared to an equivalent dietary level of omega 6. Supplementary omega 3 significantly decreases the levels of pro-inflammatory and immunosuppressive PGE2 levels while omega 6 increases these PGE2 levels. I realize this makes omega-6 look like a villain but it performs many vital functions. The take home message here is – do we have too much omega-6? How would you know this? One easy indicator is belly fat. If you’ve got it your omega-6 to omega-3 ratio is way out of balance.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>OMEGA-3 and OUR BRAIN</strong><br />
Omega-3 fatty acids play a major role in the development and function of the central nervous system. They are an essential component of all cell membranes and are therefore critical to the dynamic structure and function of neuronal membranes.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Omega-3 fatty acids alter <strong>cell membrane fluidity</strong> by displacing cholesterol from the membrane<a title="IDABUGFE" name="IDABUGFE"></a>. An optimal fluidity, influenced by Omega-3’s, is required for neurotransmitter binding enhancing communication within and between cells.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER<br />
Lower levels</strong> of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, <strong>particularly omega-3</strong> fatty acids, in blood phospholipids have repeatedly been associated with a variety of behavioral disorders including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>CHRONIC PAIN </strong><br />
Researchers have used high doses of omega 3 fatty acids and found it effective at reducing chronic pain. Most (88%) of the 250 patients who suffered from chronic neck and low back pain were impressed enough with their outcome that they planned to continue using the omega 3 oils and forego the use of NSAIDS or prescription drugs for their pain.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-size:14pt;">Essential fatty acids may be the Core Answer to the Cancer Problem.</span></strong><br />
&#8220;<strong>Cancer patients</strong> suffer from a faulty metabolism caused by a malfunction in the lipid defense system. By repairing the lipid defense system the cancer cannot survive. Of course common chemo and radiation causes further harm to the lipid defense system &#8212; the very system that protects you from cancer!” – Johanna Budwig. I’ve discovered that the product <a href="http://chiroted.squarespace.com/seabuckthorn/"><strong>“Sea Buckthorn” </strong></a>protects you against chemo and radiation.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&#8220;Our immune system, which is vital for destroying cancer cells, requires EFA’s, Vitamins C, B6, and A, and ZINC to function, and requires an exceptionally rich nutrient supply of ALL essential nutrients for its high level of complex cellular activities. Deficiencies of EFA’s and toxic, man-made synthetic drugs that interfere with essential fatty acid functions can create the conditions of fatty degeneration collectively known as cancer.&#8221; — Erasmus. (Note that 90% of the people I’ve tested are deficient in ZINC – suggested solution is Dr. Nieper’s Zinc Orotate.)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In a 1994 study of 121 women with breast cancer, those in more advanced stages whose breast cancer had spread to their lymph nodes showed the <em>lowest levels of omega-3 fatty acids in the breast tissue.</em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>From “Cancer Detection and Prevention,” July 2006</strong> – “There is strong…evidence from both experimental and clinical studies to support a role for omega-3 FA’s in the PRVENTION of non-melanoma skin cancer.” The article goes on to explain that there is <em>direct evidence</em> that <em>dietary</em> omega-3 inhibits the cancerous effects of ultraviolet radiation, reduces tumor growth and increases the tumor latent period.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For this reason products like <a href="http://chiroted.squarespace.com/seabuckthorn/"><strong>Sea Buckthorn Flavones</strong></a> capsules are proving of value to cancer patients. This product has current research suggesting it induces apoptosis (cell death) of breast cancer cells and liver cancer cells.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>OVERCOMING MAJOR DEPRESSION DISORDER</strong><br />
The omega-3 eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is emerging as a new potential agent with therapeutic value in the treatment of depression<a title="IDA0QZ5F" name="IDA0QZ5F"></a>EPA treatment was associated with structural brain changes, including a reduction in lateral ventricular volume. EPA not only prevents the structural breakdown of cell membranes it actually rebuilds them and greatly improves their function. The Omega-3 EPA has been shown to provide levels of protection against post-partum depression, bipolar disorder and seasonal affective disorder. People in various states of depression often have decreased omega-3 content in the blood. The lower the level of omega-3 the more severe the depression as this also correlates with much higher levels of omega 6.</p>

<p><em>More from the AHA site:</em> “Omega-3 fatty acids are not just good fats; they affect heart health in positive ways,” says Penny Kris-Etherton, Ph.D., R.D., lead author of the report.  They make the blood less likely to form clots that cause heart attack and protect against irregular heartbeats that cause sudden cardiac death.</p>
<p><strong>THE EPA-DHA MAKE UP OF OMEGA 3 OILS<br />
<span>What does EPA do? The science of it:</span></strong></p>
<p>Low levels of EPA are associated with a slowing of brain activity, owing to a hardening of the phospholipid layers of the cell membrane, which slows cell signaling. This decreased communication between brain cells can lead to symptoms of depression. However, taking EPA can reverse this harmful process by increasing the amount of phospholipids in brain-cell membranes thus improving membrane fluidity. This has a positive effect on neurotransmitters and enhances electrical messaging in the brain.</p>
<p>As a result of extensive clinical trials, EPA has been found to be beneficial for:</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;" align="center"><strong>THE KEY FACTOR IS THE RATIO</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;" align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:14pt;">The importance of the ratio of omega-6/omega-3 essential fatty acids.</span></strong><span style="font-size:14pt;"><br />
</span><br />
<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=pubmed&amp;cmd=Search&amp;itool=pubmed_Abstract&amp;term=%22Simopoulos+AP%22%5BAuthor%5D"><strong>Simopoulos AP</strong> </a>. (He’s performed and published a lot of research studies on EFA’s)</p>
<p>The Center for Genetics, Nutrition and Health, Washington, DC 20009, USA. <a href="mailto:cgnh@bellatlantic.net">cgnh@bellatlantic.net</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Several sources of information suggest that human beings evolved on a diet with a ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFA) of <strong>approximately 1</strong> whereas in Western diets the ratio is <strong>15/1-16.7/1</strong>. Western diets are <strong>deficient in omega-3</strong> fatty acids, and <strong>have excessive amounts of omega-6 </strong>fatty acids compared with the diet on which human beings evolved and their genetic patterns were established. Excessive amounts of omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and a very high omega-6/omega-3 ratio, as is found in today&#8217;s Western diets, promote the pathogenesis of many diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, and inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, whereas increased levels of omega-3 PUFA (a low omega-6/omega-3 ratio) exert suppressive effects.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease, <em>a ratio of 4/1 was associated with a 70% decrease in total mortality</em>. A ratio of <em>2.5/1 reduced</em> rectal cell proliferation in patients with colorectal cancer, whereas a ratio of 4/1 with the same amount of omega-3 PUFA had no effect. The lower omega-6/omega-3 ratio in women with breast cancer was associated with decreased risk.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A ratio of <em>2-3/1</em> suppressed inflammation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and a ratio of 5/1 had a beneficial effect on patients with asthma, whereas a ratio of 10/1 had adverse consequences. These studies indicate that the optimal ratio may vary with the disease under consideration. This is consistent with the fact that chronic diseases are multigenic and multifactorial. Therefore, it is quite possible that the therapeutic dose of omega-3 fatty acids will depend on the degree of severity of disease resulting from the genetic predisposition. A lower ratio of omega-6/omega-3 fatty acids is more desirable in reducing the risk of many of the chronic diseases of high prevalence in Western societies, as well as in the developing countries, that are being exported to the rest of the world.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>KINDS OF OMEGA 3 OILS<br />
Flaxseed</strong> oil is a rich source of the <strong>parent </strong>omega-3, alpha linolenic acid (ALA). Dietary ALA can be <strong>metabolized in the liver</strong> to the longer-chain omega-3 EPA and DHA.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This conversion is thought to be limited in human beings. I believe the main reason being that liver metabolism is compromised in most individuals, especially those taking prescription drugs on a regularly basis. People suffering from biotoxins induced biliary sludge are not going to do to well here either. In addition, aging, illness and stress, as well as <strong>excessive amounts</strong> of omega-6 rich oils (<strong><em>corn, safflower, sunflower, and cottonseed</em></strong>) can all compromise this conversion.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Getting our Omega-3’s from Fish Oils</strong><br />
There is some debate over the safety of fish oils due to the concern about mercury toxicity in the seafood supply. Dr. Mercola recommends the <strong>Carlson </strong>brand for that reason. <strong>Nordic Naturals</strong> is also known to overcome this objection</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-size:14pt;">Omega 3 <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:maroon;">EPA</span></span>: Specific against Depression </span></strong><br />
Because of the direct association EPA has to overcoming Depression there’s simple no better product than OmegaBrite<sup><span style="font-size:10pt;">TM</span></sup>&#8216;s. It contains 70% EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), the highest concentration available. One OmegaBrite<sup><span style="font-size:10pt;">TM</span></sup> 500mg softgel capsule supplies you with 350mg of EPA and 50mg of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). This is a 7:1 ratio. Fantastic!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’d start by taking 2, three times a day for 3-4 weeks depending on the amount of time it took for the product to saturate my cells; that’s when you can really feel this working.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;" align="center">THE ONLY PRODUCT I’VE SEEN WITH THE RECOMMENDED 1:1 RATIO IS</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;" align="center"><a href="http://chiroted.squarespace.com/seabuckthorn/"><strong><span style="font-size:16pt;">SEA BUCKTHORN</span></strong></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is one of the most hotly researched nutrients in scientific circles. I’ve found hundreds and hundred of current research that’s been done in the last 3-5 years. This is an herb that possesses some remarkable properties. Once you have brought yourself into balance the perfect way to maintain and sustain yourself is to use all three of the SEA BUCKTHORN formulas (1-2 of each 5-6 times a week). This is a true anti-aging program. If there is really a way to live to be 100-120 this is going to be one of the products that are going to help get you there.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And on those occasions when we succumb to a barrage of omega 6’s and turn ourselves in the wrong direction a healthy dose of FLAX OIL (with cottage cheese) should help bring us back into balance.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>How soon can I expect results?</strong><br />
Most people feel a significant change in there mental, emotional and physical state in about 4 weeks with nearly everyone noticing a difference at the 6 week mark.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>How much should I take?</strong><br />
I started by taking 3-4 grams of EPA/DHA a day. The easiest, most cost effective way to do this is using Flaxseed Oil. If you’re having problems with your liver you might want to address these first using a product like Total Liver Detox for a month or two and than your Flaxseed Oil will be much more effective.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>How do I take my Fatty Acids?</strong><br />
<em>I use the Budwig Diet:</em> Dr. Budwig treated her patients by giving them a combination of high quality flax seed oil, which is rich in Omega-3 oil with protein. She often used quark which is a European product similar to cottage cheese or yogurt in that it is rich in high quality protein.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The reason for the <strong>mixture of the oil with a high quality protein</strong> is that by combining the protein with the oil, the oil becomes more soluble in the body and can be absorbed more readily. It can enter even the smallest capillaries have the effect of dissolving the undesirable fats thus cleaning out the veins and arteries. Dr. Budwig found that this mixture appeared to strengthen the heart, dissolve tumors and cure arthritis. I believe in preventative medicine and this is a great way to get your Omega 6/3 ratio in balance while at the same time protecting your self against cancer, heart disease, and arthritis.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our food, water and the environment have deteriorated to such an extent that we are all vulnerable to ongoing low level exposure to toxic metals. For example, our farm lands are being inundated with heavy metal through the liquid fertilizers they use &#8211; this is how it&#8217;s showing up in the food supply. Many of us don’t trust our water supplies preferring to drink bottled water rather than be exposed to fluoride and other dangerous substances that appear in municipal water supplies.</p>
<p>Neurotoxins are lipid loving and able to dissolve and easily pass through our cell membranes which are a bilayer phospholipid structure. Heavy Metals represent another group of highly lipid soluble antagonists that when present make it very difficult for our bodies detoxification systems to remove either the biotoxins or the neurotoxins they produce. Some heavy metals easily pass through the blood-brain barrier swelling brain cells like astrocytes.<!--[if gte vml 1]&amp;gt;                                                  --><!--[if !vml]--><span id="more-6"></span><!--[endif]--></p>
<p>Once inside our cells heavy metals promote the formation of hydrogen peroxide and induce production of lipid peroxides as well as the highly reactive hydroxyl radical. Lipid peroxides alter our cell membrane structure. They are also highly disruptive to the energy producing functions of our mitochondria.</p>
<p>Heavy metals are known to inhibit anti-oxidative enzymes, disrupt the metabolism and biological activities of many proteins and deplete intracellular glutathione.</p>
<p><strong>The Glutathione Connection<br />
</strong>Both Mercury and Cadmium inactivate glutathione (GSH). Glutathione is an antioxidant that normally binds to heavy metals targeting them for elimination. When concentrations glutathione are low the body is unable to detoxify poisons. The presence of heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium and nickel actually knocks glutathione out of commission. There is also a strong correlation between low levels of glutathione in children with autism whereas normal children have normal glutathione levels.</p>
<p>Mercury and cadmium have a stronger preference for cells that comprise the kidneys. Cadmium does not pass through the blood brain barrier and is associated with peripheral neuropathies while mercury creates disorders in the central nervous system. Hg and Cd readily displace zinc and copper and this is readily tested by the Zinc Taste test which when positive is a good indicator of not only zinc deficiency but heavy metal neurotoxicity as well.</p>
<p>Tomes have been written on the dangers of mercury, yet we are constantly being exposed to this lethal agent. I’m not going to be able to address all the issue related to mercury here, but suffice it to that in 1997 our own US government produced documentation that consists of 7 volumes and is over a 1000 pages long just on Mercury (Hg) Toxicity alone.</p>
<p>Once absorbed, Hg doesn&#8217;t leave the body easily. Must of the Hg that gets into our body stays there and continually accumulates in the kidneys, neurological tissue (including the brain), and the liver. High levels of Hg have also been found in cardiac, thyroid, and pituitary tissues.</p>
<p>Metallothionein is important in the protection against toxic metals.</p>
<p>Metallothioneins are proteins that store copper and zinc, and act like &#8220;scavengers&#8221; against heavy metals that have entered the cell. Metallothioneins readily inactivate mercury and cadmium but not zinc. This prevents them from entering the mitochondria; they also protect the astrocytes from the damaging effects of Hg which is often associated with Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s.</p>
<p><strong>To increase Glutathione Cysteine is the Rate Limiting Factor</strong><br />
Cysteine plays a pivotal role in the detoxification mechanisms in the. Unfortunately the constant stress of chronic heavy metal neurotoxicity depletes cysteine levels to the extent that it no long has the capacity to protect us by producing either glutathione or Metallothionein. To make matters worse, we cannot supplement with high doses of cysteine as this can actually increase the transport of Hg into the brain.</p>
<p><strong>Cerebrospinal Kinesiology DNA Reprogramming:</strong><br />
Clearing Heavy Metals is usually the first or second treatment in my protocol. Why? Because of the high exposure levels, I&#8217;ve found them to be related to persistent ill health in patients presenting with chronic symptoms of fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, neurological disorders, depression, poor cognitive function and memory, and allergic sensitivity. In order for the body to use cysteine to product the protective agent’s glutathione and metallothionein the DNA must be reprogrammed. New software must be downloaded and subsequently installed by the body.</p>
<p>NutriTherapy: Recipe for Health<br />
Much of the time the major heavy metals, like mercury and cadmium need to be chelated out of the body using Total Mercury Detox and/or Total Cadmium Detox. If we’re dealing with a smoker we absolutely must use both of the products to make any headway.</p>
<p>Once the chelation process has been completed whey protein can be introduced. Whey protein products provide] a good source of cysteine/cystine which supports both glutathione production and metallothionein synthesis. It also provides adequate leucine that minimizes the transport of metals, such as mercury, into the CNS. I suggest the hydrolyzed whey protein from NutriWest they call Complete Whey-G as it supports metal detoxification and improve neurological function. <em>Suggested dose is 1 or 2 tablespoons per day</em></p>

<p><strong>Chronic, neurotoxin-mediated illnesses.</strong></p>
<p>Our <strong>cell membrane</strong> is that target of degenerate disease and generally all states of ill-health. Chronic illnesses related to biotoxic damage to cell membranes are what Patricia Kane refers to as <em>&#8216;Neurotoxic Membrane Syndrome.&#8217;</em> Maintaining and sustaining the functional vitality of our cell membranes is  the highest priority in our fight against anti-aging and the ravages of disease.<span id="more-3"></span></p>
<p><strong>Who is Likely to Suffer from Exposure to Neurotoxins?</strong><br />
From my perspective as a <a href="http://chiroted.squarespace.com">Doctor</a>, this is fairly easy to diagnose. <em>Neurotoxic Membrane Syndrome</em> is expressed in patients with <em>Yeast/Fungal Infections</em> and associated Allergies, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, Heart Disease, Depression, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Heavy Metal Toxicity, Diabetes &#8211; well the list goes on and on.</p>
<p>Each of these dis-eases is associated with inflammation which occurs when our cell membranes phospholipid structure is disrupted and weakened. This occurs when certain proteins clump (hypercoagulatin) together blocking the flow of blood and nutrients to the cells with the resultant impairment of cell-to-cell communmication.</p>
<p>Over the past 25 years during my study and research in the fields of metaphysics and quantum physics I&#8217;ve developed a BioEnergetic protocol for patients with neurotoxic illnesses. This BioEnergetic system provides clinically proven methods that help the body eliminate the ill effects of neurotoxicity healing the membrane as well as the mind-body.</p>
<p>Biotoxins are neurotoxins that adversely affect human neurologic function. Numerous organisms produce substances that are toxic to humans. The ones that I&#8217;ve found affect us most are from the thousands of mycotoxins produced by fungus family which includes yeast/candida and the various molds that so many of us react to. These reactions are often reffered to as allergies or sensitivities. Once our cell membranes are compromised  it&#8217;s nearly impossible to eliminate biotoxins and soon chronic illness follows. Biotoxins and their ill effects, can be eliminated through our treatment protocol restoring good health</p>
