Could You be Metals Poisoned? Know the Symptoms.

12/7/2019

Heavy metals are now a common form of poisoning.
They are rarely considered as a root cause of pain
or illness and are misdiagnosed far too often.

You are casually in contact with heavy metals daily. This makes contamination too easy for any of us to suspect we are NOT metals toxic. Diagnosis is difficult as Western medicine still believes in a simple blood test which cannot show toxicity that is stored in tissue or organs. Illness begins slowly and can be confusing.

Symptoms of metal toxicity will show in an endless number of ways. Some symptoms will be classic, while others won’t show up on any list of potential ailments. What is true is that the symptoms change and cycle without notice. During detoxing familiar symptoms, and new ones, could appear and then disappear without an established pattern. It makes for a bit of craziness, but it is natural in the unnatural world of metals poisoning.

The mixing of metals in the body, takes everything to a new level. When metals are combined together, or with other stored toxins, the effects are not double. The effects are exponential, increasing at unknown rates because of the lack of absolute knowledge of what is stored in the body.

On any given day, one of many stored toxins could leach from storage in bones or tissue and dump into the bloodstream, causing the symptoms of their choice. There are similarities about symptoms, but there are no absolutes.

Symptoms Can Include:
Chronic pain
Pain cycles
Lethargy
Fatigue
Weakness
Muscle pain
Joint pain
Anxiety
Fibromyalgia

If Fibromyaglia Isn't a Disease, What Is It?

12/5/2019

0 Comments

Classified as an incurable condition,
Fibromyalgia is misunderstood to
be a disease.

For the record...it is not incurable.

Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is real, but it is an empty diagnosis. It is a catch-all diagnosis that could actually be caused by a variety of contributors. There is an insurance code for fibromyalgia that will get the doctor paid and provide you with drugs for a lifetime, but you will never get well from them.

The Mayo Clinic defines fibromyalgia with very flimsy parameters. Everyone in pain seems to qualify. The problem is they believe it to be “incurable,” making it a life sentence for one who accepts the diagnosis. To me, the diagnosis of fibromyalgia, felt like code for “we have no idea what is wrong with you” and they did not.

Mayo Clinic Defines Fibromyalgia
The Mayo Clinic defines fibromyalgia as follows:
“Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues. Researchers believe that fibromyalgia amplifies painful sensations by affecting the way your brain processes pain signals.

Symptoms sometimes begin after a physical trauma, surgery, infection or significant psychological stress. In other cases, symptoms gradually accumulate over time with no single triggering event. Women are much more likely to develop fibromyalgia than are men. Many people who have fibromyalgia also have tension headaches, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety and depression.”

I believe the Mayo Clinic is Wrong
I believe that the Mayo Clinic is wrong. I believe that fibromyalgia is a collection of symptoms for which the cause has not been determined. The diagnosis of fibromyalgia should be a temporary description of one’s condition while the search for the cause continues.

While there is said to be no cure for fibromyalgia, it is agreed that a variety of medications can help control symptoms. It is also agreed that gentle exercise, relaxation, adequate sleep and stress management manage symptoms.

What is less understood is how important nutrition is to those with fibromyalgia-like symptoms. Universally, it seems that discomfort is increased by sugar, white flour, processed foods and soda. These things seem to fuel pain. The role of a candida gut or leaky gut is also a familiar connection.

Fibromyalgia is what I call a “designer disease.” The collective symptoms mimmic many other conditions that are caused by a number of things, including heavy metals and other poisons. The unfortunate reality is that once a diagnosis is made, all search for the root cause is halted. This feels like a less than credible approach to wellness.

Chronic Pain, Chronic illness and Autoimmune Disease… You might be a Lead Head

12/5/2019

0 Comments

The body does not create pain,
illness or disease without a reason.

These are the symptoms of what
your body is suffering.

What if poison was the source?

It is my opinion that those with chronic conditions and autoimmune diseases should be routinely tested for metals poisoning before a diagnosis is accepted. The similarity in symptoms are too many to ignore. Given the prevalence of metals exposure in consumables and dentistry, it seems irresponsible to ignore metals as the potential root of many of these chronic conditions.

Some assume that their doctor would have known if toxicity was an issue, but that is not necessarily true. Traditional Western medicine does not attempt to link established disorders to a root cause. Once a diagnosis is made, and the puzzle seems to fit, the search ends. Maybe that is where the search for the cause should begin.

Looking at metals as a possible source of toxicity seems reasonable. They can be ingested orally, absorbed through the skin or inhaled as with metals in cigarette smoke or in dust particles. Clearly the opportunity for exposure is everywhere from natural sources, industry, our food supply, dentistry and water. Rather than asking who might be metals toxic, the real question should be, “Who among us is NOT metals toxic?”

The body has systems in place to remove toxicity and they are active day and night. The problem begins when the body has too many toxins to dispose of quickly enough to keep you alive. Its remedy is to store the excess to keep the body safe and functioning. It is this storage and warehousing of toxicity that evolves into trouble, causing unexplained chronic conditions.

Unaware of exposure, you may have never felt sick or recognized an incident of poisoning. Initially you showed no symptoms and had no idea trouble was brewing. Then one day, seemingly without notice, things change. Pain and illness begin to manifest without an obvious cause. Symptoms surface as the body burden finally reaches its limit.

The undeniable signs of toxicity can take years to manifest because the body is a working miracle and is determined to keep you functioning. Once symptoms appear, the search for a diagnosis begins. Most cases of metals poisoning are misdiagnosed and end up with a “disease,” a “condition” and a “pill” that are not appropriate. Meanwhile the metals poisoned body is in constant distress and creating what I call a Lead Head.

Symptoms Vary

Symptoms of metals poisoning vary. The timing of a toxicity crisis is also individual. The ever changing symptoms are difficult to pinpoint and ultimately, a doctor finds a diagnosis that seems to fit and you are labeled or mislabeled, as the case may be. If nothing else, you can be offered the diagnosis of fibromyalgia, the melting pot for too many symptoms.

Because there is no definite patterns for metals poisoning symptoms, they are often confused with other conditions. How symptoms manifest has a lot to do with exactly what metals are involved and how they are stored. Every body is different. Add to that difference, the ranges in diet and lifestyle.

Combinations of metals can produce a variety of symptoms that differ even more. As levels of toxicity change from day to day, so do the symptoms, making chaos of a diagnosis.

Unwanted metals in the body need a place to store. Tissue and bone are selected by the body as storage areas. Metals will replace essential minerals when they settle.

The body's storage of metals causes changes. Calcium can be replaced by lead. Zinc can be replaced by cadmium. Magnesium can be replaced by aluminum and so on. The losses of these vital minerals will each bring their own symptom groupings. This is what makes casual diagnosis tricky.

Autoimmune issues can develop when molecules change due to the invasion of metals. When they are disrupted and not recognized by the body, the immune system resists these changes and begin to essentially fight with itself. This internal warfare brings a whole new set of issues.

Meanwhile, heavy metals make the body acidic. The body needs a constant pH level or you will die, so it sets out to correct the added acidity. That action triggers the body to use stored calcium which causes osteoporosis among other conditions that can be diagnosed before metals are considered.

Metals create chaos which makes the ever changing symptoms understandable. Now add to this the detoxification process which disrupts the body yet agin by reintoducing metals into blood stream from storage in the body. Not knowing what metal is being released or what essential mineral might be missing makes every day different for a Lead Head. It is literally crazy making.

With so much casual exposure to toxicity, it seems reasonable that a check for metals is in order before settling on a diagnosis with similar symptoms? We could all benefit from knowing our metals levels just like we benefit from knowing our blood pressure.

NOTE: Those with chronic conditions and painful bodies who are still housing silver, amalgam fillings, must consider this ongoing source of contamination as a root problem.

Breast Cancer Pink Ribbons Gaslighting Women

11/20/2019

0 Comments

The number of women dying from breast cancer is just about the same as it was 30 years ago.

If you thought wearing Pink Ribbons was going to change things, you might want to think again.

This is the San Francisco City Hall contributing to the misjudgment of so many who still jump on the Pink Ribbon Campaigns. According to Breast Cancer Action, an organization that is making actual changes to the carcinogenic ingredients used in our lives, we are being distracted by all of this pink fundraising. They call it gaslighting and in an article by the nonprofit's executive director, Karuna Jaggar, it is clear that this is a serious deception.

Jaggar expains gaslighting as a "deliberate psychological manipulation that causes someone to question their own sanity while making them feel dependent on the perpetrator of that harm." "It's clear that pink-ribbon culture is sanctioned gaslighting, celebrated during its very own pink month."

"We are told to fight like a girl and kick cancer's ass," says Jaggar. She explains the dangers of the lighthearted manner in which we are told to "save the tatas" and "save second base" while provocative pictures of sexy breasts are the focus. It's deceptive and creating a culture of normalcy. Cancer is not normal and it is being given to us while we march merrily in the streets.

Jaggar notes repeatedly hearing, "is anyone still dying from breast cancer anymore?" The answer explained by Breast Cancer Action is YES!. The unbelievable fact is that the numbers have not been persuades to change in nearly 30 years with millions in fundraising and pink frills. The fact that women of color are more likely to die remains the same. The truth that traditional treatment continues to cause permanent effects also has not changed.

I have a long standing policy, (post my pink ribbon days), that says Do Not Buy Pink Ribbon Products. In fact, the policy comes with an annual letter writing campaign to corporations that use pink ribbons to sell products.

Breast Cancer Action agrees with the less than generous position of most companies that use pink ribbons to sell to fearful women. They claim many companies are using pink ribbons to distract us from other PR and marketing issues. They call out the NFL with their cheerleaders in pink after claims of sexual assault and their economic exploitation of the same women who's uniforms were pink this October.

Curing cancer begins with removing the cancer causing elements in your life. It means knowing that permissive government regulations allow multiple carcinogens into your daily world by the hundreds each day. Add those poisonous products and consumables to the challenges of a toxic world and BOOM, you are a time bomb.

Organizations like Breast Cancer Action are about identifying and uncovering the causes of cancer from the most basic of starting points. They are vigilant about reporting the hormone disruptors and toxic levels of personal care products. They are going after manufacturers and asking them to make formula changes that reduce your chances of cancer. They are hitting the source of the problem without fanfare or parades. They believe in the Search for the Cause, Not Just the Cure. When you consider how you will fight cancer, look for the wisdom of those organizations that have you as their foremost concern

Onion Magic

10/28/2019

It seems like there is always one more use for onion that you've never heard about before. This is a home remedy that I've seen work. It's easy and so, worth a try.

Under this waterproof bandage is a small piece of onion being used to draw cyst-like fluid from under the skin. I've seen this work on splinters, warts and solid nodules after a few applications.

You can simply put a piece of onion on the skin or you can chop it fine to put more moisture and benefits onto the area. It's not surgery, so you can't expect immediate change. Nature takes a big longer while it is working in harmony with your body.

Other onion magic claims include:

Controlling cholesterol
Inflammation fighter
Antioxidant
Absorbing the smell of fresh paint
Improving arthritis pain
Stain remover
Metal polish
Insects Repellant
Acne healer
Improving bone density
Heart strengther
Digestive aid
Nutrient source
Bacteria fighter
South insect sting or bite
Absorbs flu, cold and fever germs when cut and left open

Are We Losing Our Medical Choice Rights?

This should horrify you. It is a page from a training manual for nurses.

When you understand the intimidation and force used to vaccinate, you have to wonder what happened to your right to choose what happens to your own body. It might be time to watch what is happening.

If you are metals poisoned you know that you react differently to drugs and chemicals. This is not something a doctor usually knows or will talk about with you.

Being your own advocate is not an easy job. We have learned to trust the medical industry with our lives, but things are different now.

Fluoride or No Fluoride isn't Really a Question Anymore

9/2/2019

0 Comments

   The dilemma over fluoride safety
is secondary to the fact
that it is categorized as a drug
   by the FDA.

This means the public is
being drugged in mass.

  That can't be right.

Below is a copy of the letter I wrote to my municipal water board. You may feel free to copy and send it to yours. Instead of stirring up the same old question of "is fluoride safe or unsafe" I've brought up some issues that are hard to dispute.

Bottom line...The FDA classifies fluoride as an "unapproved drug," even though it has been used for 60 years. We know the position of the Center for Disease Control is that systemic use of fluoride does no good and that only a topical treatment shows any signs of improving dental health. We also know that there are changes to the body when fluoride is used. How then did this happen? Somewhere in my soul, it feels like greed is involved.

Copy of my letter to my water district:

This short fact sheet gives an overview of my concerns and those of others who question the efficacy, the dangers and the “why” of adding fluoride to our water supply. It is time to re-examine that decision.

Of course there is science on all sides of this issue that will conflict, but we must question the policy. Without getting into the arguable science, I have listed a few points that don’t require opinion. Should you like more scientific data, I am happy to provide it.

Fluoride Facts;

1. Fluoride is added to the water, not for the purpose of improving water quality, but rather for the alleged purpose of preventing tooth decay. The FDA qualifies the use of fluoride for this purpose as a drug.

We are therefore drugging unsuspecting users without informed consent. This is not legal. Many are exposed against their will. Filtering drinking water is not the answer as showering and other uses are exposing humans to the drug.

2. The use of fluoride is not universally accepted. Most of Western Europe has refused fluoride because of the controversy surrounding it and the concept of mass drugging.

3. If in fact fluoridation was a positive influence, water is not the correct method for dosing. People consume water based on need of the water itself and without regard to the amount of the drug being consumed.

It is easy to see that the amount of fluoride taken into a body cannot be regulated via the municipal water supply. We must be able to calculate the amount of fluoride that is absorbed during showering via the skin or through crop watering which is impossible for a user. We must also consider a bottle fed infant that ingests levels of fluoride equal to those of an adult. There is no research to warn what the outcome of this might be in the future.

4. According to fluoridealert.com, fluoride is not an essential nutrient and no disease or tooth decay is caused by the lack of fluoride. They also state that fluoride interferes with many enzymes and biological processes in the body. They quote many studies that prove fluoride interferes with the body’s biochemistry in fundamental ways.

5. In 60 years of forced fluoridation there are still no studies to prove efficacy or safety and still the FDA classifies it as an “unapproved new drug.” This should make the addition of fluoride without consent a criminal act.

Although rather unscientific, I would also say that not one dentist has gone out of business because of fluoridated water. There is no apparent threat to the dental industry and no data that proves dwindling numbers of patients.

6. In 2001 the CDC concluded that the benefits of fluoride were topical and not systemic. With this in mind, why are we risking what could be a horrific outcome?

7. Studies of those fluoridated in comparison to those not fluoridated, show that each group has similar dental health in my research. Even the NIH has studied fluoride and determined that there is no significant relationship between tooth decay and fluoride among children.

8. Research shows that tooth decay does not increase when fluoridation is discontinued.

9. Many resources agree that the studies that brought us fluoridation were flawed. There is consistent evidence of potential harm and many resources, including the National Research Council, believe it may damage the brain.

10. Thirty-three independent studies from countries other than the USA report that exposure to fluoride will lower IQ. Other studies focus on damage to the pineal gland, thyroid function, arthritis, bone density loss, kidney damage, bone cancer and infertility with fluoride contamination.

Is this not enough to ask yourself why we continue this practice?
I am asking this Board to reconsider our use of fluoride in the water supply and to ask that we begin purchasing non-fluoridated water.

Why Can’t I find a Doctor I Trust?

8/27/2019

Big Pharma is running traditional
medicine while ruining our health.

Choosing a doctor today is like a game
of roulette.

Choosing a doctor of any kind is difficult. I used to study office staff and decide if the doctor had been smart enough to hire good people. Then I’d ask how ‘on time’ the office ran. Being sick is not a time to have a 2 hour wait, so it was easier to clear that up early.

At some point I realized I was not asking enough questions before trusting a doctor. Usually, I sat back and listened as though I was anything BUT, the paying customer. I would say to myself that what they were saying was wrong, yet sometimes I did exactly what they said. Eventually after so many wrong answers and errors, I lost hope in Western medicine doctors.

Out of desperation, I began to study so I could learn how to help my body heal. While I learned, I realized traditional doctors were more than wrong. Many were what I describe as “criminally wrong”.

Doctors avoid the reality that nutrient rich foods help the body heal while drugs dull symptoms, leaving the real culprit behind. What they tell us ranges from ignorance to lies and frankly I’m tired of it.

My accountant has to research all the new laws every year and so does my lawyer. Neither ever has the luxury of saying, “Sorry, I didn’t learn that in school”. Doctors know things are not right with being paid to prescribe. They know what vaccines and opioids do, yet they stand back because, like government, many have taken favors.

I feel awful about how I feel about Western medical doctors. I want to trust them, but in reality, I fear them.

As I learned about my body, I started to ask questions. Asking questions is one sure way to shorten your doctor’s visit and to have a ‘special description’ of you written on your chart. I made the mistake of asking an endocrinologist if he ever looked in a person’s mouth for silver, mercury fillings before prescribing a lifetime of thyroid meds. He ignored me and the fact that I could not manage his protocol. Instead I heard about his education and notoriety, leaving the basic fact that mercury causes thyroid issues a disregarded message.

To those who said I was not ill and simply experiencing signs of aging mixed with depression, I wrote many nice letters explaining I was simply poisoned with heavy metals. None were answered, but I did suggest that when their patients said “Ah” the storage of mercury in fillings should spark some interest in further testing for metals before a diagnosis.

To the 15 doctors who said fibromyalgia was my problem, I gave the same respect of attempting to enlighten them. No one was happy.

The fact is that many of the diagnoses given are nothing but insurance codes that allow a doc to be paid while you suffer with less than the facts. We are past a time when you can shuffle into the doctor’s office, sick and miserable and expect something other than a pill for your every symptom.

Those symptoms are key to the discovery of what is actually wrong with you. If you deaden them all, when do you know if you are actually better or just being managed?

Although there are excellent reasons for Western medicine and there are many successes, there are far too many chronically ill people who are getting bad advice. Personally, I research extensively and attach myself to alternative healers who are in line with my belief system. Everyone must decide for themselves. It’s personal and no one should ever be afraid to act on their beliefs.
