When the U.S. financial system completely fails

How bad will things get? That’s the trillion dollar question with some people talking about a huge tide of bank failures with runs on the banks turning into a stampede as the public begins to understand what is really going on. The FDIC, which insures trillions of dollars of Americans deposits in their banks, has no money or capital with which to carry out its obligations. The pace of bank seizures this year is likely to accelerate in coming months, FDIC officials have said. As the economy has weakened, with unemployment rising, home prices tumbling and loan defaults soaring, bank failures have accelerated and sapped billions of dollars out of the federal deposit insurance fund. It fell into the red last year, hitting a $20.9 billion deficit as of Dec. 31.

A Desperate FDIC Begs Americans to Open
Savings Accounts during "America Saves" Week

So there is no money it’s all an elaborate illusion. The money has been hollowed out (stolen) already. The future has been destroyed and we have been doing that for a long time in the first world. What the elite and the collective have participated in will now bring a huge suffering as life contracts forcibly.

United States Congressman Ron Paul warns Americans of coming economic collapse and martial law in a video that shouts a future unimaginable to anyone who is not already looking at worst case scenarios. The people in the first world are beleaguered and many soon will not have access to even the most basic of necessities. What is the government going to do with all these unfortunate citizens but force millions of them into relief camps.

To keep the party going, companies and
governments dress up the numbers, hide
the facts, or simply lie through their teeth.

That’s not a problem in America because they have built an extensive network of detention centers that stand empty. Americans are very good with prisons. Inside the borders of the United States resides a separate nation of 2.3 million people. It’s a nation in constant flux, with 700,000 residents released each year, their places soon taken by others. Incarceration may be the only U.S. industry that enjoys unlimited growth potential.

But what is to stop relief centers from becoming concentration camps? I bet that there is not an American alive who would enjoy being in a detention center, relief camp or anything that even has a whiff of concentration in it. The history of relief camps is not pleasant, certainly not for those who have been forced by circumstances into them.

Destitution, hardship, misery, desperate need, suicide, disease and death will become more familiar to a generation which has lived the life of Riley. A sociology professor at the State University of New York at Albany, found that a person who lost a job had an 83 percent greater chance of developing a stress-related health problem, like diabetes, arthritis or psychiatric issues.[3] We even have a study published last year saying that layoffs can affect life expectancy.

Ron Paul speaks of hope though, but it’s the kind that depends on the abolition of the Federal Reserve Bank and balancing federal budgets and other things that are not about to happen. I think Ron Paul knows this but he has to speak out for what is right and best. There is no politician in Washington DC willing to stand up in front of the American people and tell them the truth about the storms on our horizon except Congressman Ron Paul.

Fortifying Our Souls

It is a good moment to think of all the good people doing good things in the world though even here it’s hard to be consoled because a lot of bad things are going to happen to a whole lot of good people. Forty million people died in World War Two and we had well less than half the world population than we have now. Nuclear weapons came only in the closing days of that world catastrophe. Now we are armed to the teeth with devastating destructive capacity.

What we have to rally to is our souls and to other souls we can touch with our love. Contemporary man did not learn enough about love even though some prophets knew and said that our survival depended on it. As the thick walls of our civilization comes crumbling down we have to light the lamps of our souls and look to others who are doing the same. Even with love the future will not be easy to take but without love life is and eventually becomes devastating.

Love is the solution that no one in officialdom talks about but it is the life stuff that will comfort and warm us during the cold rein that Ron Paul speaks of. There is another kind of love that I am also speaking about, that kind that is measured in listening ability; something that politicians and everyone else in the power structure of civilization is a little short on.

The world’s interdependency is a difficult concept to understand because our hearts are not big enough to grapple with the conclusion that we are all one and that what happens to one of us happens to all of us. On one level we can look at our planet and civilization as a circle like one that is formed around a watering hole. There is only room for so many to drink at one time.

When looked on as a whole we can see there can only be so many billion and millionaires, so many hundreds of millions in the upper and middle classes for resources are limited and only destined to become more so.  When looked on as a whole we see that some have to suffer for others to prosper – it’s just the way the system is structured. And the very richest of the rich rig the game and pull the Marinette strings.

“Reflect on what happens when a terrible winter blizzard strikes. You hear the weather warning but probably fail to act on it. The sky darkens. Then the storm hits with full fury, and the air is a howling whiteness. One by one, your links to the machine age break down. Electricity flickers out, cutting off the TV. Batteries fade, cutting off the radio. Phones go dead. Roads become impossible, and cars get stuck. Food supplies dwindle. Day to day vestiges of modern civilization – bank machines, mutual funds, mass retailers, computers, satellites, airplanes, governments – all recede into irrelevance. Picture yourself and your loved ones in the midst of a howling blizzard that lasts several years. Think about what you would need, who could help you, and why your fate might matter to anybody other than yourself. That is how to plan for a secular winter. Don’t think you can escape the Fourth Turning. History warns that a Crisis will reshape the basic social and economic environment that you now take for granted.”

Strauss & Howe – The Fourth Turning

If negative developments continue on course, as expected, the economic predicament will evolve into a full social crisis. Chaos, upheaval, massive hunger, starvation and social unrest are on the drawing boards and few countries and peoples will be spared the tragedy. “Everybody keeps having the wrong conversations. It’s no longer about how to return to prosperity, it’s about how to stave off mayhem, misery, hunger, violence,” writes The Automatic Earth.“Love and listening will only bring us individual comfort and togetherness, but it will never happen on a big enough scale nor to the extent that it can cause the major changes in our political climate and have a real impact on the world,” lamented Claudia French RN, the assistant director of the IMVA and my editor. Claudia is of course correct though I am not comfortable saying it will never happen. Perhaps after our false civilization implodes and humanity goes through a long dark winter it will learn some lessons that up to this point has been impossible for us to comprehend.

Special Note: This material is new for my Into the Ashes book and is part of a series of updates that brings us to our precarious present moment in time. By this time next week we will have all the new text on a site as well as another one on Climate Change. Believe me when I say this information is just a warm up for what is to come both in terms of my writings on this subject and in terms of the harsh reality and winter of the human soul that is about to wash onto our collective shores.

Magnesium, Selenium, Iodine and Mercury Connection

There is no disputing the fact that modern pharmaceutical medicine has not solved nor cured any of the modern chronic disease plagues that are morphing out of control into pandemics. What is going on in the areas of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, strokes and neurological disease is painting a horrific image of the failure of contemporary medicine, which seems unable to learn anything about what will make a difference for their patients. They are good to go with words of promise but they don’t deliver and things are only getting worse in terms of public health.

It is difficult to treat any disease today without paying attention to the profound magnesium deficiencies that exist in nearly 100 percent of sufferers of chronic disease. We could easily say the same for bicarbonate and iodine and when we pay attention to all three at the same time our work in helping people recover from their suffering and pain is greatly eased. This is especially true when it comes to neurological diseases.

The central nervous system is extremely sensitive and reacts to a combination of factors that allopathic doctors don’t normally touch down on. Toxic exposures, nutritional deficiencies and emotional anguish converge most pointedly on the nervous system with often catastrophic results. As we will see below one of the main disasters facing people today are wide ranging exposure to both mercury and aluminum; metals at the top of the list that cause neurological damage.

Toxic substances, such as mercury, which the body is chronically exposed to, accumulates in the brain, pituitary gland, CNS, liver, kidneys, etc. and can damage, inhibit, and cause imbalances at very low levels of exposure. Heavy metals can cause major neurological, immunological, and metabolic damage.

Each individual will be seen to have their own unique combination of neurological, endocrine, and enzymatic imbalances along with autoimmunities that result from the above factors. Symptoms will vary resulting in different differential diagnoses: multiple sclerosis (MS), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), or Parkinson’s Disease (PD), Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), and eve rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).

Multiple Sclerosis is difficult to address, both because the symptoms are so variable and treatments are often ineffective. This disease affects the central nervous system by damaging the myelin sheaths surrounding nerves of the brain and spinal cord. Primarily affecting teenagers and young adults of Northern European descent, the disorder begins between ages 10 and 50 in almost all affected individuals. About 400,000 people in the United States have MS; twice as many women as men.

Although the cause remains officially unknown, it is widely thought to begin as an autoimmune inflammation with magnesium deficiency at the core.  In studies it’s been shown that there was a significantly lower value of magnesium than that seen in control cases. The most marked reduction of magnesium content was observed in CNS white matter including demyelinated plaques of MS samples.[1]

Magnesium protects the cells from aluminum, mercury, lead, cadmium, beryllium and nickel. Evidence is mounting that low levels of magnesium contribute to the heavy metal deposition in the brain that precedes Parkinson´s, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer´s. Research has shown that the symptoms of MS are very similar to Mercury poisoning.[2] Mercury is a primary cause of inflammation in our bodies.

The rate of relapse in multiple sclerosis was found to be
decreased with dietary magnesium supplementation.[3]

Magnesium deficiency causes and underpins chronic inflammatory build ups. Inflammation is the missing link to explain the role of magnesium in many pathological conditions. Dr. Mazur says, “Magnesium deficiency contributes to an exaggerated response to immune stress and oxidative stress is the consequence of the inflammatory response.”  Magnesium deficiencies feed the fires of inflammation and pain and it is magnesium that modulates cellular events involved in inflammation. Increases in extracellular magnesium concentration cause a decrease in the inflammatory response while reduction in the extracellular magnesium results in cell activation.

Magnesium is central to immunocompetence and
plays a crucial role in natural and adaptive immunity.[4]

MS sufferers have a wide variety of symptoms that often begin rather abruptly and proceed at a highly variable and unpredictable pace. Common early symptoms include numbness, pins and needles sensations, incoordination, weakness especially in the legs, painful loss of vision in one eye, double vision, dizziness, pain at various sites, urinary symptoms and impotence. Symptoms of MS that are also symptoms of magnesium deficiency include muscle spasms, weakness, twitching, muscle atrophy, an inability to control the bladder, nystagmus (rapid eye movements), hearing loss, and osteoporosis.

What is essential to remember about treating pain with magnesium is
that it treats both the symptom and the cause of pain. Meaning the
cause of the pain can often be traced back to a magnesium deficiency.

Researchers have found oral magnesium therapy effective on patients with multiple sclerosis. In one formally reported case a 35-year-old woman suffered with severe spastic paraplegia resulting from multiple sclerosis (MS). A significant improvement in the spasticity was found after only 1 week from the onset of the treatment on the modified Ashworth scale, an improvement in the range of motion and in the measures of angles at resting position in lower limbs.[5]

Nystagmus is characterized by an involuntary movement of the eyes, often noted as a shaky or wiggly movement and has been directly tied to magnesium deficiencies.  People with MS also have higher rates of epilepsy than controls.  Epilepsy has also been linked to magnesium deficiencies. Without doubt magnesium supplementation accompanied by pH control via diet and the use of sodium bicarbonate will do wonders for not only Multiple Sclerosis patients but also Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease sufferers.

Iodine

The relatively low prevalence of multiple sclerosis in Japan, despite its temperate latitude, has puzzled many researchers. We know though that their soils have some of the world’s highest known levels of iodine caused by the use of seaweed as a fertilizer. Deficiencies of this essential trace element appear to be associated with many diseases, or birth defects, including goitre, cretinism, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and cancer of the thyroid and nervous system. Although the evidence is weaker, iodine deficiency may also be implicated in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. It should be obvious to physicians that mineral deficiencies are at the center of chronic diseases, which can be largely avoided if appropriate replenishment is stressed.

People with MS may also have low levels of selenium or of glutathione peroxidase, an enzyme produced from selenium. A theory explaining the pathogenesis of MS concerns an increased stickiness of cellular plasma membranes, hampering normal vascular function of the brain. In agreement with that theory researchers have found significantly lowered selenium values and lowered glutathione peroxidase activities.[6]

MS and Mercury Exposure

Dental amalgam is documented by medical studies and medical lab tests to be the largest source of both inorganic and methyl mercury in most people who have several mercury amalgam fillings. Very low levels of exposure have been found to seriously affect individuals who are immune sensitive to toxic metals, or have an inability to detoxify metals   due to such as deficient sulfoxidation or metallothionein function or other inhibited enzymatic processes related to detoxification or excretion of metals.

Amalgam exposures are commonly above government health guidelines. This is due to continuous vaporization of mercury from amalgam in the mouth, along with galvanic currents from mixed metals in the mouth that deposit the mercury in the gums and oral cavity. Mercury is one of the most toxic substances in existence and is known to bioaccumulate in the body of people and animals that have chronic exposure.

A large epidemiological study of 35,000 Americans by the National Institute of Health, the nation’s principal health statistics agency, found that there was a significant correlation between having a greater than average number of dental amalgam surfaces and having chronic conditions such as epilepsy, MS, or migraine headaches. MS clusters in areas with high metals emissions from facilities such as metal smelters have been documented.

Mercury has been found to accumulate preferentially in the brain, major organs, hormone glands, and primary motor function related areas involved in ALS- such as the brain stem, cerebellum, rhombencephalon, dorsal root ganglia, and anterior horn motor neurons, which enervate the skeletal muscles.

Mercury and magnesium deficiencies are at the root of inflammation so it is important to understand that chelation of mercury will relieve many of the problems caused by it, and that magnesium will protect our cells from the inflammation that mercury causes. Magnesium is a necessary factor in chelation, for without it chelation will not be successful.[7] Heavy metals like cadmium, lead, & mercury compete with nutritional magnesium, keeping it from availability to protect our cells. The healthy cell wall favors intake of nutrients and elimination of waste products and this is one of the reasons magnesium is so important in detoxification and chelation.

Magnesium is a crucial factor in the natural self-
cleansing and detoxification responses of the body

Because magnesium protects cells from aluminum, mercury, lead, cadmium, beryllium and nickel, it explains why re-mineralization is so essential for heavy metal detoxification and chelation. Magnesium protects the cell against oxyradical damage and assists in the absorption and metabolism of B vitamins, vitamin C and E, which are anti-oxidants important in cell protection.

According to Dr. Russell Blaylock, low magnesium is associated with dramatic increases in free radical generation as well as glutathione depletion and this is vital since glutathione is one of the few antioxidant molecules known to neutralize mercury. Chelation of mercury and supplementation of magnesium must take place together.

Other Factors

Eating a deficient diet is not the only way we can strip our body of the minerals it needs to protect itself from heavy metal exposure. Many pharmaceuticals including over the counter medicines drive down magnesium levels creating ripe conditions for neurological devastation. For example in 1992 researchers reported a case of magnesium deficiency associated with acetaminophen abuse. Metabolic studies showed that the patient’s fractional excretion of magnesium was 12% when her serum magnesium level was 1.0 mg/dL. Renal biopsy demonstrated severe tubulointerstitial disease. The significant wasting of magnesium at a time when serum magnesium levels were depressed suggests renal magnesium wasting syndrome. This defect was related to abuse of acetaminophen.[8]

Product Quality and Cost

Though I have been using Bob’s Red Mill sodium bicarbonate I have recently received two boxes of Arm and Hammers and I sat for quite a while admiring their boxes and all the information on them. I have been in touch directly with the company and have been reassured of its absolute purity meaning there is no aluminum in it. Arm and Hammers is as aluminum free as Bob’s Red Mill, which advertizes itself specifically to be aluminum free, and in the process has convinced most people I know that Arm and Hammers has aluminum when it does not.

The proper mixing of bicarbonate concentrate is an issue and certainly this is a major safety concern at every dialysis facility in the world, which use sodium bicarbonate every day. Oral sodium bicarbonate is used to treat metabolic acidosis in patients with renal tubular acidosis. Since infants and young children are unable to swallow tablets, those affected must ingest sodium bicarbonate in a powder or liquid form. Pharmacy-weighed sodium bicarbonate is expensive and inconvenient to obtain; some pharmacists are reluctant to provide it.

We determined that the sodium bicarbonate contained in 8-oz boxes of Arm and Hammer Baking Soda® was sufficiently constant in weight that dissolved in water to a given volume, it yielded a quantitatively acceptable therapeutic solution of sodium bicarbonate at a cost of approximately 3 percent of that of pharmacy- weighed sodium bicarbonate. Grocery store baking soda can be a safe, economical, and convenient source of sodium bicarbonate for the treatment of chronic metabolic acidosis in infants and young children.[1]

The Church & Dwight name may not be familiar to many people, but their ARM & HAMMER® brand is recognized and respected by just about everyone. That’s because Church & Dwight has been producing ARM & HAMMER brand products for almost 160 years, ever since Austin Church, a physician, and John Dwight, his brother-in-law, began selling their high-quality sodium bicarbonate to grocers in New York City. The most demanding applications are in the area of healthcare, with hemodialysis in particular requiring exceptional purity and consistency. A leading force in modern bicarbonate hemodialysis Church & Dwight’s contribution to modern dialysis dates back to the early 1980s, when medical literature about the benefits of bicarbonate-buffered dialysate over acetate began to appear.

Anecdotal reports, and then clinical studies, showed an improved response when patients were dialyzed with bicarbonate instead of acetate. Beginning in 1982, Church & Dwight applied their technological expertise to the task of establishing exacting standards for hemodialysis grade sodium bicarbonate. Within two years, they were meeting those standards in full-scale production. When  USP specifications for sodium bicarbonate used in hemodialysis were published in 1987 and formally issued in 1988, Church & Dwight hemodialysis grade sodium bicarbonate not only met the specifications, it exceeded them.

Bob’s Red Mill costs $2.61 a pound and Arm and Hammers costs less making it the least expensive medicine in the world. Personally I could not tell a difference between the consistencies in the two, both are equally fine. Sodium bicarbonate is widely available in most supermarkets and discount chains across the country at a cost of just over $2 per pound. Many different sizes are available depending on your needs ranging from 1 lb packages up to 14 lb packages. (normally used by people with pools to adjust pool water pH).

Do not confuse baking soda with baking powder which does or may contain aluminum. These are two very different products with baking powder having a mix of baking soda with various acidic ingredients. Make sure you are purchasing pure 100% baking soda or sodium bicarbonate.

Special Note: For perfect therapeutic bath add one pound or more of sodium bicarbonate with one pound or more of magnesium bath flakes.

Say Yes to Love in Medicine

To have any public credibility doctors have to honor their
medical oath and be reasonably in tune with medical truth. This is
exceedingly hard to do if one has bought the pharmaceutical paradigm.

Where one gets their information is telling and for doctors crucial. Pharmaceutical muscle is evident not only in medical schools but in medical organizations, local medical boards and in the governmental institutions that oversee medicine and public health. All of these medical organizations are in the business of strong arming doctors, creating fearful and highly conditioned environments that continue outrageous but profitable practices for the industry.

One in four U.S. parents believes some vaccines cause autism in healthy children according to the Associated Press at the end of February 2010. The federal government disputes heavily this idea, so much so that it denigrates these parents and ignores the medical science that suggests a strong association between the nerve poison Thimerosal and neurological impairment

It is a closed case as far as the medical officials are concerned as stupid as that might sound. The former Chairman of the National Institute of Health (NIH) Dr. Bernadine Healy does not agree saying, “The question has not been answered.” The Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) 2004 report on thimerosal and autism even stated, “The committee cannot rule out, based on the epidemiological evidence, the possibility that vaccines contribute to autism in some small subset or very unusual circumstances.”

Some doctors are taking a tough stand, asking vaccine-refusing parents to find other doctors and calling such parents “selfish.” A statement from a group practice near Philadelphia outlines its doctors’ adamant support for government recommended vaccines and their belief that “vaccines do not cause autism or other developmental disabilities.” Doctors routinely take these stances though the former head of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Dr. Louis Cooper says, “There’s been grossly insufficient investment in research on the safety of immunization.”

It has taken us a long time to appreciate the fact that we are wasting time arguing with the government; it has not done anyone any good. We might as well argue with a heavily armed robber or psychopath, serial killer or terrorist none of whom even have the capacity or motive to listen. People and institutions with no ‘heart’ can not be reasoned with and should be avoided like the plague. Governments are the real plague and are a pandemic even up to the level of attacking our precious babies with injectable neurological poisons.

I would like to offer a way for doctors to redeem their credibility in the face of their peers, their professional organizations, humanity and God on at least on one important issue that is cracking the foundations and integrity of contemporary medicine. We are dealing with soul issues here because we are talking about the deliberate injection of newborns, children, and adults with the third most toxic substance known to man and that is mercury. Mercury is the most toxic non-radioactive element on Earth, and The World Health Organization said that there are no levels of mercury that can be considered safe.

Everyone in the United States over the age of six
months should get seasonal influenza vaccines every
year, federal vaccine advisers said on February 25, 2010.

All forms of organic mercury cross the blood-brain barrier easily, probably due to formation of a complex with the amino acid cysteine. It is eliminated from the organism slowly, therefore it has tendency to bioaccumulate. In the form of dimethylmercury a sniff can kill you. Anyone who listens to any justification of the practice of injecting organic mercury into babies should have their head seriously examined just the same as if they were justifying child sexual abuse (which some psychologists most incredulously have).

What I am proposing is a clear declaration to the governments and medical boards around the world that we doctors and health care professionals will recommend to all our patients that they immediately reject and refuse all vaccinations until every government and medical body eliminates “all” use of the highly toxic vaccine preservative Thimerosal, which is fifty percent methyl-mercury by weight. We would not recommend to our patients that they drive around in a car with defective breaks or a sticking accelerator one more day nor should we let our patients remain ignorant of the dangers of Thimerosal. We need to collectively back government, health, and medical official’s backs against a hard wall giving them not a millimeter to sleaze away.

Mercury was taken out of animal vaccines 20 years ago
because it was too toxic, so why I ask my peers are
we allowing it to continue to be given to babies?

We have been deaf, dumb and blind to what is happening in the area of childhood vaccination, meaning we are allowing our medical colleagues to get away with murder and we are all guilty by implication. There are certain constraints or lines that must not be crossed and one is the injection of a cross and bones poison. If we support such medically insane and barbarous practices we should sign a form stating we agree with the principles and practices of the Nazi doctors who routinely injected medical subjects with lethal injections for experimental purposes. No one can say that vaccines don’t kill children for they do that all the time in what is officially known as “rare” occurrences.

There is no sitting on the fence on this issue either you support and favor the injections of poison into babies and people or you do not. It is black and white though those who think in grey shout the loudest and have most of the bullhorns in the public arena. 15% of women in America (Rh Neg) get Rhogam Thimerosal laden shots and have 50% of autistic children. If a woman has 10 or more mercury dental fillings, her chances of having an autistic child go up 27%. Boys get autism 4 to 1 more than girls. When they put mercury in Petri dishes with brain cells they get 40% cell death. Estrogen and mercury in Petri dishes somehow protected cells for only a 3% cell death. Testosterone & mercury yields 100% cell death.

Thimerosal-preserved vaccines are significant causal factors in
the development of regressive neuro-developmental disorders
including autism and related disorders/syndromes/diseases.
Dr. Paul King

A review of medical literature indicates that the characteristics of autism and of mercury poisoning (HgP) are strikingly similar. The parallels between the two diseases are so thorough as to suggest, based on total Hg injected into U.S. children, that many cases of autism are a form of mercury poisoning. Professor John Oxford of Queen Mary’s School of Medicine and Dentistry states: From Alzheimer’s disease to a devastating lineup of other neurological disorders including Parkinsons, ALS, MS, autism and AD – mercury is known to be a potent neurotoxin that either is the prime cause of such disorders or certainly is seen to exacerbate them. He says, “If there is “any doubt whatsoever” about the safety of mercury in vaccines then it should be removed.”

Thimerosal used as a preservative in vaccines given to children is a high crime against our civilization and all that is good in the field of medicine. Recommended and given to children 6 months and older by pediatricians since 2004, and annually to children until they turn 18, (and in 2009 in the A-H1N1 vaccine) one can only wonder where we have gone so utterly wrong injecting our babies and children with the third most toxic element known to mankind. “These injections exceed the EPA RfD mercury amount by a factor of 125 when the Thimerosal doses are 0.25-mL in each vaccine and by 250 times when the doses are set at 0.5-mL per injection. Typically a child getting the 0.25-mL dose weighs less than 18 kg (and at six months much less) and the older children who gets the 0.5-mL dose typically weighs much less than 70 kg,” reports Dr. Paul King.[1]

It seems like Pediatricians just cannot do the math or are just too lazy to do so. The EPA’s reference dose (RfD) for mercury is 0.1 microgram of mercury per kilogram of weight per day for ingested mercury, which is the legally considered adequate safety level. So how can anyone in their right mind inject a small child with a 25-microgram dose when that passes the legal dose for a humongous adult? To meet the EPA standard a person would have to weigh 551 pounds to receive the 0.5-mL vaccine dose (50 mcg) and the little baby would have to weigh 225 pounds to redeem the attending pediatrician. In some countries they inject newborns on their first day of life with 50 mcg doses and one can only wonder what children today would be like in the third world if they did not receive the Hepatitis B shots at birth.

Dr. King asks, “How can Thimerosal used as a preservative be safe when the toxicity studies required by law (21 CFR 610.15(a)) since the late 1960s have NOT been conducted (as the FDA and the vaccine makers have repeatedly admitted or failed to refute? How is a dose of mercury that exceeds the putative “safe level” (the putative no observed adverse-effect level [NOAEL]) for injected Thimerosal-related mercury (based on a chronic toxicity study in rats that is cited and recognized by the FDA) of < 0.0042 micrograms of mercury per kilogram of weight per day for developing humans by more than a factor of 2900 for a 0.25-mL dose or more than a factor of 5900 for a 0.5-mL dose be considered either safe or minuscule?”.

A quote from researcher David Geier, MD, PhD: “We went to Atlanta,” he continues, “to the CDC, and looked at the VSD [Vaccine Safety Data] data. There is thimerosal-containing DTaP [diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccine] and thimerosal-free DTaP, so we asked a question: Among children that got a minimum of either three consecutive thimerosal-containing DTaPs or   three consecutive thimerosal-free DTaPs, was there a difference in the number of autism cases in the two groups? We found mega differences. More than 20 times higher. The rate of autism in the children that got more than three doses of thimerosal-containing DTaP vaccines was much, much higher. Almost all the children that have autism in that group were the ones that got the thimerosal-containing DTaP vaccine. The more thimerosal the greater the cases of autism.”

A 1991 Merck memo (released 2005) shows that at least one major manufacturer was aware of the vaccine mercury concern much earlier. The 1991 memo stated 6-month-old children who received their shots on schedule would get a mercury dose up to 87 times higher than guidelines (FDA) for the maximum daily consumption of mercury from fish. “When viewed in this way, the mercury load appears rather large,” said the memo from Dr. Maurice R. Hilleman, an internationally renowned vaccinologist to the president of Merck’s vaccine division. “It is reasonable to conclude” that it should be eliminated where possible, he said, “especially where use in infants and young children is anticipated.”

A special federal court ruled against parents who claimed childhood vaccines had caused their children to develop autism. The “vaccine court” examined the evidence presented and concluded, “It was abundantly clear that the petitioners’ theories of causation were speculative and unpersuasive.” What is abundantly clear is that a court ruling has nothing to do with either science or the reality of one of the most toxic substances known to man and its effect on children. It does not matter what anyone says; nothing and no one will remove the skull and crossbones label from Thimerosal, meaning no one can remove the immanent dangers to child if this substance is injected.

“There is no convincing evidence that thimerosal is a factor in the onset of
autism” is the mantra of medical officials, and no matter how wrong, mean,
stupid, and ugly these officials are they remain publically and legally right.

Not everyone has been convinced nor has anyone approved the government’s effort to cover up the dangers of thimerosal. Rep. Dan Burton, a Republican from Indiana, oversaw a three-year investigation of thimerosal after his grandson was diagnosed with autism. “Thimerosal used as a preservative in vaccines is directly related to the autism epidemic,” his House Government Reform Committee concluded in its final report. “This epidemic in all probability may have been prevented or curtailed had the FDA not been asleep at the switch regarding a lack of safety data regarding injected thimerosal, a known neurotoxin.” The FDA and other public-health agencies failed to act, the committee added, out of “institutional malfeasance for self protection” and “misplaced protectionism of the pharmaceutical industry.”

Few studies of the toxicity of Thimerosal in humans have been performed and yet the CDC and the FDA consider it safe. What is clear is that these organizations do not protect the public from obvious dangers having sold their souls to pharmaceutical interests. Cases have been reported of severe poisoning by accidental exposure or attempted suicide, with some fatalities to Thimerosal. Animal experiments suggest that Thimerosal rapidly dissociates to release ethyl mercury after injection; that the disposition patterns of mercury are similar to those after exposure to equivalent doses of ethylmercury chloride; and that the central nervous system and the kidneys are targets, with lack of motor coordination being a common sign.

So display some medical integrity and join with all doctors and healers everywhere and just say no to this madness. Tell your patients to avoid vaccines like the plague because the umbrella organizations like the CDC and the FDA have been compromised and cannot be trusted. One must not lay ones child on the alter of the dirtiest bastards that have ever walked our earth, monsters that would defend the injection of newborn babies with thousands of trillions of molecules of ethyl-mercury.

Defending the use of mercury in vaccines is a direct vote for this practice anywhere on the planet it is happening and makes one responsible, in part, for it. We have all inadvertently defended its use, for we continue to allow it to happen, but it has not been clear how to stop the medical officials and all those who support them.

Let’s at least turn our backs on the medical establishment on this one form of medical lunacy that implicates us all in a civilization disruptive practice that targets the young with illegal and humane medical mistreatment. Even if you are afraid to go on public record as taking a medical stand against medical officials and their untrustworthy pronouncements commit oneself to quietly handing out this document to patients telling them that we cannot support any part of the vaccination program because you cannot trust the principle organizations and people involved because of the Thimerosal cover-up. Explain to them that just like you would not support the use of a dangerous car or spoiled and tainted foods you cannot support the outrageous stonewalling of Thimerosal and its use one more day.

Al Gore thinks, “It would be an enormous relief if the recent attacks on the science of global warming actually indicated that we do not face an unimaginable calamity requiring large-scale, preventive measures to protect human civilization as we know it. What a burden would be lifted! We would no longer have to worry that our grandchildren would one day look back on us as a criminal generation that had selfishly and blithely ignored clear warnings that their fate was in our hands.”

Al Gore should be taken seriously, after all the New York Times published a very long essay by the former vice president this past Sunday. Perhaps he is really an air conditioning salesman in disguise or a spokesman for the electrical industry promoting expansion of the power grid, but no matter how cold it gets he is going to be selling global warming now masquerading as climate change. So funny to see someone insisting that climate change means only warming or drying or even only cooling even though the average world temperatures and recent record breaking cold recordings suggest that this needs to be our main concern.

Recently I visited the south of Brazil and was shocked by the heat and the strength of the sun that did not diminish much until it set. Living in the tropics spoils one to the stable and reasonably moderate temperatures. Two weeks later my son tells me that Florianopolis, where we were, was suffering from severe climate change. The weather was outright weird rising and falling (40 degree shifts) like a yoyo.

Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) today asked the Obama administration to investigate what he called “the greatest scientific scandal of our generation” — the actions of climate scientists revealed by the Climategate files, and the subsequent admissions by the editors of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report (AR4). Senator Inhofe also called for former Vice President Al Gore to be called back to the Senate to testify. “In [Gore's] science fiction movie, every assertion has been rebutted,” Inhofe said. He believes Vice President Gore should defend himself and his movie before Congress.

Gore goes on to say, “I, for one, genuinely wish that the climate crisis were an illusion. But unfortunately, the reality of the danger we are courting has not been changed….” It does seem that we do have a climate crisis on our hands and even a geological one that might remind us that we are not that far from the dinosaur age with earthquakes and exploding volcanoes ringing us with fire. Big things are happening, things made from giants or God or just Mother Nature and are we going to trust Al Gore’s friends to make sense of it all?

Gore of course insists that glaciers are still melting and sea levels are rising due to global warming but people who know something about these kinds of things speak of a reality that makes Gore look like a master of fantasy. Dr Nils-Axel Mörner, geologist, physicist, and one-time expert reviewer for the IPCC, announced this week that, contrary to IPCC claims, sea levels are not rising.  “Sea level is not changing in any way,” said Dr Mörner in an hour-long interview with Kim Greenhouse of “It’s Rainmaking Time.”

Coldest winter in 30 years in Scotland. Drivers were stranded in
snowdrifts, power lines collapsed and road and rail routes ground
to a standstill as snowfall caused chaos across Scotland yesterday.
February 26,  2010

Dr. Mörner, who received his PhD in geology in 1969, is one of the greatest – if not the greatest – experts on sea levels in the world today. He has worked with sea level problems for 40 years in areas scattered all over the globe. There is no change, says Mörner. There is absolutely no sea-level rise in Tuvalo, there is no change here, and there is zero sea-level rise in Bangladesh. If anything, sea levels have lowered in Bangladesh. We do not need to fear sea-level rise, says Mörner. However, “we should have a fear of those people who fooled us.”

Gore also says that, “our civilization is still failing miserably to slow the rate at which these emissions are increasing — much less reduce them.” I will raise my voice loudly into the emissions reduction choir when they put mercury as the number one emission to decrease to the absolute minimum immediately. Anyone who is not keeping their eye on the most dangerous of all the emissions is not to be trusted.

Special Note: Warning lights are coming up all over the board even from within the government. The government’s response to the financial meltdown has made it more likely the United States will face a deeper crisis in the future, an independent watchdog at the Treasury Department warned. The problems that led to the last crisis have not yet been addressed, and in some cases have grown worse, says Neil Barofsky, the special inspector general for the trouble asset relief program, or TARP, at the end of January.

The picture is grim. “During the first six months of 2010, Americans and others will continue to live in their world of unreality. These hopeless fools are again being taken down the garden path. The world as we know it is about to change dramatically, so prepare for it,” writes Bob Chapman. “You have too much debt coming due, and not enough money to refinance it,” says John Lekas, president and CEO of Leader Capital Corp., which operates a short-term bond fund. Lekas says another debt crunch is coming, and it will likely send stocks crashing again, just as the liquidity crisis that began in September 2008 did.

Today we are working as fast as we can to put two new sites up, one for climate change issues and the other for the crisis that might start as early as this week. A stampede is in the making with the herd highly alerted to a possible massacre in the bond markets. I have five new essays on what is brewing and they will be put on the site, which will promote my book Into the Ashes. This week (or in the next month or two) it looks more like it’s into the Fire and we will have to be well roasted before the ashes and lessons begin to accumulate. ]]> http://imva.info/index.php/2010/02/climate-madness/feed/ 1 http://imva.info/index.php/2010/02/new-dawn-in-climatology/ http://imva.info/index.php/2010/02/new-dawn-in-climatology/#comments Tue, 23 Feb 2010 14:21:57 +0000 Mark Sircus http://imva.info/?p=724

Climate Change

Climate is changing much faster, stronger and sooner than anyone expected and it is changing in unexpected ways. It is supposed to be warming but the reality is actually cooling. Sami K. Solanki of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research announced that he believes the Sun is leaving its fifty to sixty year long grand maximum of the second half of the 20th century.  He had said previously that the Sun was more active in the second half of the 20th century than in the previous 8,000 years.  Solanki holds that a repeat of the Dalton Minimum[1] is most likely, and that the earth is in for an unusually deep and long solar minimum.

Rising temperatures have generally
resulted in rain rather than snow.

Certainly in the northern hemisphere this winter its cold, really cold, and records for both snow and temperature are being broken almost every where suggesting that what we have been led to believe about CO2 and warming have been false, stupid and motivated by both conscious and unconscious self interest. We have just had a science at its worst event, which will be remembered in history; of that there is no doubt. The global warming hysteria was based on fraud as investigations and public admissions by principle players have been highlighting. The superstition of global warming has been shattered but we are still left with enormous problems in respect to climate change.

The World Health Organization is investigating allegations that it exaggerated the danger of Swine Flu, boosting the profits of pharmaceutical companies at the expense of public health. Similar investigations should be initiated into the entire global warming scam that had most of us worried about our blood boiling in the future due to massive temperature increases.

Global warming alarmism is collapsing rapidly but some people just don’t give up. On February 17, 2010 a New York Times editorial stated, “Disclosures of isolated errors and exaggerations in the 2007 report from the United Nations panel on climate change do not undermine its main finding: that the planet has been warming gradually for more than a century and that human activity is largely responsible.” They of course say nothing about the sun, discounting totally the overly large effect it has down here on our precious earth.

The sun is cycling through its own solar minimum phase and naturally when things calm down in terms of solar radiation things tend to cool not warm. We all know that certain kids never pay attention in their science classes and so as adults just cannot appreciate basic science. The sun is the furnace of earth. It’s the big heat of our solar system.

Scotland has suffered some of the coldest winter months in almost
100 years. It was the coldest December and January in Northern Ireland
since 1962/63 and the coldest in England and Wales since 1981/82.

The Times believes it time for us to make some tough decisions and that is true. But we are not going to get anywhere as a civilization if we try to go forward and make decisions based on unnecessary lies. In fact we are not going to get anywhere if we trust the wrong people to make crucial decisions for humanity, which are needed in many fields today. I wonder if the Times management would be able to make the tough decisions necessary to stop allowing powerful financial interests to dominate its content and purpose.

Thomas Friedman of the Times enjoyed making fun of our particularly snowy winter, which in his opinion does not prove “that climate change is a hoax and, therefore, we need not bother with all this girly-man stuff like renewable energy, solar panels and carbon taxes.” Between the Friedman editorial and the papers general editorial today we can see the dialogue has officially changed. There is no more talk about global warming per say its now “climate change.” Hard to argue with climate change since everyone agrees it’s changing.

Fanatics about man-made global warming want to spend trillions of
dollars based on conclusions from faulty data. As the frigid winter
days pass and the scandals mount, it becomes clear that claims of
man-made global warming aren’t based on scientific methods at all.
The Washington Post

Friedman and his friends would like us to remain very clear on what the real issue is for us humans. “What the current debate is about is whether humans — by emitting so much carbon and thickening the greenhouse-gas blanket around the earth so that it traps more heat — are now rapidly exacerbating nature’s natural warming cycles to a degree that could lead to dangerous disruptions.” Friedman seems retarded or has not read much because just this month Professor Phil Jones, who is at the centre of the “Climategate” affair, conceded that there has been no “statistically significant” rise in temperatures since 1995.

Jones, the former director of the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at Britain’s University of East Anglia, admitted to the BBC in February of 2010 not only the statistics but stated that from January 2002 to the present, the earth has been cooling and that the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) from 800 to 1300 A.D., did in fact exist; a scientifically accepted fact that Jones and other climate researchers tried to discount or hide. Advocates of global warming have recently been forced to admit fallibility. Jones admissions represent a major U-turn being called the Great Climate Change Retreat.

Apparently much of the proof for global warming was caused by local distortions affecting weather stations, such as land development. Ross McKitrick, professor of economics at the University of Guelph, Canada said to the London Times, “We concluded, with overwhelming statistical significance, that the IPCCs climate data are contaminated with surface effects from industrialization and data quality problems. These add up to a large warming bias,” he told The Sunday Times.

“Saying the climate system is completely dominated by how much carbon dioxide we have in the system is crazy – completely wrong,” says Dr. Willie Soon, astrophysicist and geoscientist at the Solar and Stellar Physics Division of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. He is also an astronomer at the Mount Wilson Observatory. Dr. Soon says, “Carbon dioxide is not the major driver for the earth/climate system. Now temperatures are going down, but CO2 levels are still going up. It’s close to being insane to try to keep insisting these changes in carbon dioxide are going to create all of the disasters.  They say, “no matter what the sun does, it is not important.”

Global warming was a huge exaggeration since in reality climate is totally, completely dependent on what the sun is doing to the system. Dr. Soon speaks of bedrock reality when he says, “The sun is the major driver of the earth climate system.” We can see that certain elite circles took an insane chance in their bid for more riches captured in carbon taxes. Spitting into the eye of God (in this case the sun) trying to out smart Mother Nature shows how even the almighty powerful rich ones among us can fall flat on their faces in front of everyone. Well ok not in front of everyone since they are so secretive and hidden but we know they are there and what their real interest is in life.

“We are being brainwashed. This whole discussion is not a climate discussion, it is a controlling discussion. I think there are other ulterior motives. Carbon dioxide is NOT a pollutant. It is NOT harmful to life on earth. If you think its only carbon dioxide that drives climate, you really don’t understand how the climate system works”, says hydroclimatologist David Russell Legates, who is an Associate Professor of Geography and Ocean Science and Engineering at the University of Delaware. He is the Delaware State Climatologist.

Americans do not pride themselves about self evident
truths anymore nor do they care that they are being
treated like stupid cattle by the ruling elite in their country.

No matter what anyone in science says and no matter how much trust has been ripped out from under global warming research there are certain people and organizations that persist in supporting the hidden agenda of certain circles of powerful interests that many people pretend don’t exist.

“It’s against the rules to talk about a rapacious American oligarchy, and the suggestion that the small group of people with most of the money and power in the United States just might be responsible to some degree for what has been happening to the country over the last twenty years invariably invites the news media to expressions of wrath and denial. The ruling and possessing class cannot be blamed for anything that is happening (in America) because, well, there is no ruling and possessing class,” wrote Michael Lind, in Harper’s Magazine, June, 1995.

Himalayan Glacial Melt Not Backed by Science

The first thing people question about global cooling is, “What about all the melting glaciers?” We are incredibly vulnerable and gullible to whatever is said by the mass media and here is just one more example how easily we are misled. Experts can say whatever they please today and it sometimes takes years for the truth about untruths to become visible.

Many of the media blitzes about global warming it turns out were in reality a lot of unsubstantiated hot air. First we had the scandal from England that reflected improprieties by climatologists and now we have an admission that U.N. warnings that Himalayan glaciers were melting faster than any other place in the world and may be gone by 2035 was not backed up by science, U.N. climate experts said in January.[2]

The incident in England created a furor late last year over the release of stolen e-mails in which climate scientists talked about suppressing data and freezing out skeptics of global warming. Global warming proponents are having a tough time of things lately especially with the intense cold spell that has many people rightfully questioning whether global warming exists. If the world was really warming so intensely would we really expect to be suffering with record breaking cold and snow? Yes in some places in the world it has been hot and records have been set there also, but the general direction is down, not up, according to the people who should know – the weather men.

“At a time when the biggest headlines on science have
been over the flaws or legitimacy of climate science, recent
skirmishes over climate research have really shaken the
confidence of the public in the conduct of science [overall].”
Ralph Cicerone, President
National Academy of Science

In a 2007 report, the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said the Himalayan glaciers are very likely to disappear within three decades if the present melting rate continues. But a statement from the panel now says there is not enough scientific evidence to back up those claims. The warning in the report “refers to poorly substantiated estimates of rate of recession and date for the disappearance of Himalayan glaciers,” the IPCC said. “In drafting the paragraph in question, the clear and well-established standards of evidence, required by the IPCC procedures, were not applied properly.”

India’s Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh on Tuesday repeated his previous criticism of the panel’s initial assessment of the Himalayan glaciers. “The health of the glaciers is a cause of grave concern, but the IPCC’s alarmist position that they would melt by 2035 was not based on an iota of scientific evidence,” Ramesh was quoted as saying by The Times of India.

Five glaring errors were discovered in one paragraph of the world’s most authoritative report on global warming, forcing the Nobel Prize-winning panel of climate scientists to apologize. One mistake suggests glaciers in the Himalayas could melt away by the year 2035 — hundreds of years earlier than the data actually indicate. The year 2350 apparently was transposed as 2035.

Reader Responses:

Our winters are warmer and no frost has been reported here in Sydney Australia for years.  Our warm climate animals and plants are working their way down the coast into what was once cool climate and the ocean currents are warming up.  It may not be global warming but the weather is being disturbed by something.  It seems that extremes are the byword, whether by sun spots, global warming, change in magnetic field of the earth, or a wobble in the earth’s axis.  Can you say what is causing the problems?  I would really like to know!!
Janet Riepon

I’m starting to get annoyed by this global warming put-down. Global warming was for 1990′ies, please, update already to global climate change! Global warming was/is too simple an explanation – global climate change is rather undeniable!

I agree with your article above.  However, you must do homework on Scalar Electromagnetic Technology which was developed by Nikola Tesla, the greatest scientist/inventor of all time. He invented Scalar Electromagnetic technology which can be used to produce horrible weather modifications such as hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, floods, earthquakes, mudslides.  What a coincidence the world is experiencing so many catastrophes!  Scalar technology can also be used for catastrophic weaponry across continents.  Many nations have this technology – US, Russia, China, Brazil, Japan, etc. The weather patterns around the world are also being modified by the long-patterned chemtrails across the skies not the short-tailed vapors emitted by jets. Various chemicals are being sprayed on the populace all around the world, constantly; with the result many people have gotten/are getting various symptoms of asthma, lung problems and numerous physical ailments.

I have been holding back my writings on current events in the world, keeping them in a bullpen waiting for events to bang the drums of doom more loudly. I do not want my writings on finance and economics to be warnings anymore (my last essay called Economic Pearl Harbor was enough in that regard) but news about what is happening in the present.

My older readers know that I have been putting out warnings for years but now we are at cliffs edge (many millions have already fallen over it) one only has to open one’s eyes and see the handwriting on the wall. So expect much from me soon on this front as we collectively ride the buckling knuckling second leg down the fast approaching shock wave that one can smell if they really open up their nostrils.

At the same time I have prepared several new chapters for the sodium bicarbonate work, which I will publish shortly as well as an entire series on autism starting with the importance of magnesium deficiencies in the development of this disorder. Now that I have finished the second edition of the Transdermal Magnesium Therapy book I will soon be free to finish Humane Pediatrics where I will publish my writings on the unfolding disaster in children’s health and what to do about it. It is because of the children that the IMVA was started and it is with them that my heart is most connected.

Collapse and Tragedy

Our World is entering into one of its most perilous times it has ever faced and that will find the vast majority of today’s Western Nations resembling those of the Third World in just a few short years time and that’s only if they are extraordinarily lucky. If they are not so lucky they might find themselves buried by crushing ice and snow with spring thaws coming later and later until it feels like they are back in the Ice Ages.

Just this past week several people have asked me about Brazil and about moving here, which is a courageous move to contemplate and one made vastly safer if one has a trustworthy connection. Mike Adams in Ecuador and I both feel that a move to South America would be wise and anyone who can afford to move or have a fallback position on our lovely continent in the Americas should more than think about it, they should jump. In reality there is little time before capital flights will be blocked.

It is a fact and reality of our system that collapse and tragedy comes unevenly, coming to certain people, families, towns, cities and countries before others. Perhaps if we faced our challenges as a collective, as a race of being, things would be different. But as long as what is happening is happening to someone other than us we can wall off their pain (and our own intuitive feeling intelligence that can guide us) from our hearts and just keep on going.

The top 10 percent of people are going to do fine, those in the middle
of the income distribution have been hard hit by over borrowing, and
poorer people will continue to struggle with unstable jobs and low wages.
Simon Johnson
M.I.T. Sloan School of Management

What is coming is a global event that will soon overtake the majority. It is a forlorn conclusion – we have not administered our civilization with heart – and the consequence is collective. We have ignored the pain and suffering of others for too long living the rich life with the world elite doing this in a most obscene way. Our world of debt is breaking the backs of governments, corporations and individuals alike and there is no reset button except disaster and anarchy waiting.

Johnson I believe is actually being overly optimistic for it is actually the richest in the world – the richest 10 percent (700 million from the first world) that are being threatened the most with a collapse in lifestyle. The budget proposal released in the United States would impose nearly $1 trillion in higher taxes on couples making more than $250,000 and individuals making more than $200,000 by not renewing tax cuts enacted under former President George W. Bush. So it looks like even the lower end of the upper 10 percent is going to be hit hard in America.

It really has been a field day for the richest people on earth
whose lust for stealing has penetrated multi trillion dollar
marks. They have been stealing and destroying and
concentrating wealth to levels never seen in human history.

Without our inner heart burning bright, future events will be difficult to bear so it is not a call to arms but a call to heart that I am putting out. If we are ever to remake civilization in a new light it is with heart that it must be made over but that is not what the elite are planning unfortunately. This and the chapters to come are actually the newest installments of my book Into the Ashes.

I have been looking into the eye of the coming storm studying what the consequences can be for me and my family. It is my job to see and to write and sometimes I cry and feel fright though I continue to expand out in the face of all adversity. I sometimes get sad for the future wishing we had built a better civilization for our children to inherit. We all need courage though there are many who have no idea that anything could happen that speaks of this necessity.

There is going to be a lot going on to have feelings about and it’s a good time to check in with ones heart and soul to ascertain our own capacity for empathy and compassion, two attributes of the heart that have been sorely missing in contemporary man. It is only the power of the heart that is going to sustain us during the coming dark night of humanity, that and an acutely aware mind fined tuned to the truth. At the center of our hearts is a force that can sustain us even during the worst of times and many great men and women have lived through unspeakable horrors and survived to tell their tales. It is time to tap into this deeper part that exists, it is really time.

I have written Insecurity, my essay about the emotions of the heart center that we have learn to deal deeply with. Insecurity is but a prelude to a three part series:

The Crushing Weight of Loss
Upheaval, and Social Unrest

Watch for this series in the upcoming weeks and prepare to watch before your very own eyes as the crisis builds in strength up to the point of panic in the financial markets.

I am not sure which order of the series I will publish first but the entire process of writing Into the Ashes was having me install the last chapters first and all of these in this series will add to the below chapter list of the book. When we get time we will create a site for book, which includes the subject of climate change and agricultural concerns.

Healing with Mother Earth

Today it time to get even more serious about protecting ourselves from the health challenges of tomorrow. We need to have everything on hand at home and in our clinics that we and our patients will need to help them survive the coming world convulsion, which will leave in doubt our access to basic health services and many of the essential medicinals we will need. Personally, I am stocking up on magnesium, iodine, sodium bicarbonate, spirulina and clay and should also be doing so with whole food vitamin C. In addition, every home should have some activated charcoal.

The secret to safe and effective medicine (maintaining or returning to good health) is caught up with the question of how to fix what ails us without suffering from side effects from the medicines we use. There are certain choices we make in life and many of them take us far away from Nature and the basics of life. The earth, though, is literally our mother and has given us part of her in the form of natural medicines to fix what ails us.

The use of clay for both internal and external use puts in our hands the healing power of mother earth and there is little that can compare or compete in the world of medicine. There is no healing system more powerful than that which employs Nature’s primordial substances, materials so pure and close to nature that they yield benefits without the typical side effects of most medicines.

For many of us it is hard to imagine actually eating clay, and few people employ it topically. But the power of its exquisite purity is indispensable in the age of toxicity for there is nothing that has a stronger pulling power on the impurities in the body then clay does. Where I live we have scorpions, and believe me when one of my kids got bitten, clay is the first thing I raced for and it worked quickly to draw the venom out. I have used clay packs on my eyes, sleeping with them through the night bringing soothing relief to the stress they were feeling as I was battling cataracts.

For those suffering from gingivitis or any other infection or decay in the mouth it’s good to know one can pack the clay into the mouth. For instance, many people have used it when they have a toothache, putting a clay pack in their mouth for an hour each day for four days.  Not only does the pain go away, but the infection is drawn out by the clay.

In another essay I will discuss the use of clay externally with special attention paid to using clay in detox and chelation protocols to facilitate removal of mercury and other heavy metals. In this chapter we will talk about starting ones day with a glass of clay. Actually, we don’t eat clay we drink it.

Healing clays, which have been used by indigenous cultures since before recorded history, offer us a wonderful, safe, inexpensive and effective medicine for the 21st Century. On every continent there are people who eat earth. “The Native Americans call it “Ee-Wah-Kee” meaning  “The-Mud-That-Heals”. Bentonite, as well as other types of healing clay, has been used by indigenous cultures since before recorded history, but it’s only now that scientists are gradually beginning to understand what force brings them to do this. It is not only humans who indulge in a bit of clay every now and then.  Parrots, cattle, rats, elephants and chimpanzees also partake.

All health begins and ends in the gastrointestinal tract.
If we cannot properly digest and absorb nutrients from
our food, we set the stage for an imbalanced immune
system and the onset and progression of chronic illness.
Dr. David Brownstein

The pure healing power of the earth evident in living clays creates a better platform for the body to recover from illness because it propels the immune system to health, strengthening the body to a higher point of resistance, something no allopathic medicine achieves. Clay maintains its molecular integrity; it does not break down and assimilate into the body. It maintains a molecular whole as it passes through the body acting like a vacuum cleaner or sponge carrying poisons out of the body. Since clay is not digested and assimilated as it passes through the alimentary canal, the clay and the absorbed positively charged ions are both eliminated together. It also pulls toxins through the skin when applied topically in clay baths.

Clay’s immediate action upon the body is directly on the digestive channel. This involves the clay actually binding with the toxic substances and removing them from the body with the stool. It performs this job with every kind of toxin including those that occur naturally as by-products of the body’s own health processes, such as metabolic toxins.

Our exposure to general chemical toxins in the environment is only getting worse, thus any reasonable and cost effective method that reduces concentrations of toxic metals and other poisonous chemicals in the human body will find great use in the 21st century (the Age of Toxicity). Our world has never been as toxic as it is today and it will be even more toxic next year and the year after that. No one can maintain a totally pure state but we can approach medical treatments with an intelligence that will protect from most harm and disease.

In the 21st century the center of pharmacology needs to be
shifted away from medicines that add to peoples already heavy
toxic burdens to medicines and protocols that reduce these burdens.

Inasmuch as mercury is omnipresent in the environment, as are a host of other chemicals like lead and halogenated hydrocarbons (halocarbons) from the plastic industry, it is virtually impossible for humans to avoid exposure to a growing list of chemicals that are mixing together in our blood streams and cells. Thus there is a need for detoxification protocols that increase daily elimination for healthy people as well as chelation protocols for adults and children who have been devastated with mercury and other chemical poisoning.

The need to eliminate heavy metals and other toxic chemicals
from the body is a life long activity thus it behooves
us to find the most natural and effective way to do that.

Substances that are toxic to our bodies come at us from all directions: the air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink, the cleaning products we use, and the metabolic waste produced inside us.  Toxin build-up in the body contributes to premature aging and chronic and degenerative diseases. Huge tonnages of pollutants are put into the air every day and the 20 odd tons of mercury are bio-accumulating stressing our physiology to the limit.

Detox and chelation can be made easier, shorter
and more effective with the help and use of clay.

Clay assists the body’s eliminatory process by acting as a bulking agent, similar to psyllium fiber, sweeping out the old matter that doesn’t need to be there.  It is not digested in the same manner as food as it passes through the alimentary canal.  Instead, it stimulates intestinal peristalsis, the muscular contractions that move food and stool through the bowels.  The clay and the adsorbed toxins are both eliminated together. This keeps the toxins from being reabsorbed into the bloodstream, which is a safer way to go about the detoxification process, and is one of the reasons I ingest clay everyday.Many naturopaths recommend ingesting clay on a daily basis to maintain optimal health. Generally, it is suggested that one to two teaspoons  of clay mixed in water be taken  daily. It is recommended to take the clay on an empty stomach first thing in the morning for best results.  If you cannot take it first thing in the morning, at least make sure that it is in on empty stomach. If you’re taking any medication, it is recommended to wait 1-3 hours before ingesting clay, but please check with your physician, as medications vary in time release and content.

Edible Earth is a superior formulation of natural calcium bentonite and montmorillonite clays developed by my good friends at the LL Magnetic Clay Company.[1] Edible Earth is a synergistic blend of the finest healing clays in North America and was formulated for general cleansing, detoxification, and revitalization of the entire digestive tract, in addition to supplying a rich spectrum of 57 bio-available ionic minerals.  It was also nice to see that they are the only company to manufacturer ingestible clay in an amber glass bottle versus plastic.  This is very important to me, as clay is, by its very nature, a highly absorptive material. I do not recommend ingesting clay that has been housed in plastic.

Edible Earth incorporates the finest healing clays, chosen from pristine subsurface sources for their purity and broad health benefits to the user.  In addition, considering clays unique characteristics, it is critical that it be handled in a certain way, so knowing that it is being assembled in a CGMP Certified facility is also an important factor for me.

Edible Earth draws its detoxifying ability from the favorable action that calcium bentonite and montmorillonite clay has upon the GI tract through its absorption and adsorption of various toxins, pathogens, metabolic wastes, and heavy metals.

*Supports Nutrient Assimilation in the Gut
*Alkalizes the Body

One of the main ways clay does its work is to draw to itself positive charged molecules, which it holds like a magnet, both internally and externally, until we wash them from our bodies or pass them through our bodies. Calcium Bentonite Clay literally removes the positively charged molecules that attack our bodies, from our bodies. According to an article published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, “Detoxification and Mineral Supplementation As Functions of Geophagy” (Johns and Duguette 1991), clay is a potent detoxifier, a catalyst that assists the body in removal of chemical poisons and heavy metals (positive charged ions) from the body.

Clay is effective for many ailments. It will remove impurities including bacteria, fungi, parasites, chemicals, toxins and even help resolve viral infections.  It has been used extensively in the treatment of pain, open wounds, colitis, diarrhea, hemorrhoids, stomach ulcers, constipation and intestinal problems, acne, anemia, and a variety of other health issues. Just about everything unhealthy, everything impure, is irresistibly attracted to clay and becomes subject to immediate elimination.

Healing clay not only draws toxic material out of the
body if taken internally, but also reduces pain and
infection in open wounds on both humans and animals.

Heavy metal toxicity means big trouble for the GI track, especially in children, and nothing speaks louder about this than then children suffering from autistic spectrum disorders.  Children with weak immune systems tend to have problems with parasites, bacteria, fungus, and viruses that find fertile territory in a body whose defenses are compromised. Finding conditions ripe to live long term in the body, invading pathogens colonize the host and wreck havoc from within. People with chronic diseases have weak immune systems and almost always have digestive system problems including many of these parasites and microbes.

I think it is very hard to mineralize our kids because of their leaky guts.
After treating my son with clay he does not have a leaky gut any more,
but still I can not mineralize him the way he should be, because the mineral
supplements are not in the right form in order to be absorbed by the body.

Dr. Timothy Ray says that during chelation of mercury with DMSA and DMPS (sulfhydryl chelators), “Some of the mobilized metals may be unbound because the mobilizing and binding mechanisms of each chelator may have different degrees of efficiency depending on each patient’s current biochemistry. The longer the metals stay in the bowel, the more damage and inflammation they can cause. If the patient has Leaky Gut Syndrome or Inflammatory Bowel Disease, which most of these patients do, the increased permeability of the intestinal wall may provide little resistance to the re-absorption of these mobilized metals, which then travel back to where they came from – the brain, kidneys, liver, connective tissue, etc., or are deposited into previously healthy tissue.”

The problem with leaky gut and bowel inflammation in general, is that they are very difficult to treat while the metals are still present in that tissue and continuing to cause inflammation. Mercury is known to create antibiotic resistant bacteria, the plasmid responsible also being replicated and passed on to other bacteria. The presence of mercury in the bowel could therefore contribute to the severity and duration of intestinal infections.”[2] In my opinion, safe, clean edible clay to intestinal health is like the cavalry arriving on the scene just in the nick of time.

I have asked the people at LL’s Magnetic Clay if they would extend a special discount on the Edible Earth product for my IMVA people.  They have agreed to a hefty 25% discount until March 1st.  You simply need to use the code, “edibleearthimva” in the section that asks for a promotional code. By the time one ingests two pound (one bottle) one will have completely changed, cleaned and healed their digestive tract and have drawn off a great percentage of the body’s toxic load.

For those, who after reading about eating clay are still squeamish about eating earth, know that the experience is nothing like what one might expect. Pure clay actually tastes clean and goes down quite easily yielding a pleasant experience. We get the immediate feeling that we are doing something extremely positive for our health.

Special Note: So important is clay I promise to put up a site on its use in the next few months. Clay is a friend like the earth is our mother. Those who learn to appreciate Nature are healthier and happier in my experience. When it comes to the practice of medicine it behooves us to employ Nature whenever we can. Clay is something we can recommend to our patients with the upmost security that it will do the job we intend it to do.

Sometimes very sick people or even animals with a lung ailment do better when taking drugs by nebulization as opposed to orally, because then the embattled system doesn’t need to go through breaking down the medications in the stomach and then delivering them to the lungs through the blood stream. With nebulization medicines get sprayed directly onto the lung tissues where they can most easily be absorbed locally by the lung and brachial cells.

Dr. Shallenberger says, “A nebulizer is able to convert a liquid into tiny bubbles that are so tiny that they can only be seen under a microscope. When these bubbles come out of the nebulizer, they are so small that they look just like smoke. And that’s the magic of a nebulizer. The bubbles are so small that they can be inhaled deep down into the deepest regions of the lungs without any discomfort or irritation. It’s a great way for asthmatics to get the medication they need to open up their lungs.”

Nebulization and Transdermal Medicinal Baths are Prime
Therapeutic Options for Medication Administration for Children

Few practitioners consider the systemic effects of nebulizers. When we hear from patients using nebulizers with pharmaceuticals that it makes them feel the side effects just as badly as when the doctors were giving the same drug intravenously in the hospital, we are actually hearing that the medicines are not only being delivered to the lungs but also being delivered directly into the blood stream and systemically into the rest of the body.

This is very important to understand and appreciate because it opens a wonderful delivery system that is important for certain populations like infants, children, intensive care patients and to all those who are trying to care for themselves or loved ones at home. And that’s when Dr. Shallenberger thought, “Why not use the nebulizer delivery system to deliver treatments not just to the lungs but to the whole body?”

Most of the published research about nebulization is on standard usages like asthma but this delivery system can be used to treat lung cancer, pneumonia, tuberculosis, as well as the influenza, chemical poisoning, and actually any syndrome requiring the administration of a medicinal. For pediatricians and parents nebulizers are a God send because our babies cannot pop pills and we don’t really want to be sticking needles in them every day. Transdermal medicine offers the most to the world of pediatrics with the administration of medicines through their baths and their breathing.

The great strength of nebulizers though is their capability of delivering medications and moisture directly to the tracheobronchial tree. Contrary to other treatment options, higher concentrations in respiratory secretions can be achieved with aerosol therapy. With the use of this localized delivery system effective antimicrobials can have a direct effect on surface organisms in the bronchial system.

1) Nebulization thins secretions & mucus making it easier to expel pulmonary secretions
2) Nebulization makes coughing easier while lessening the need to cough
3) Nebulization keeps your windpipe & trachea lining and stoma moist & healthy
4) Nebulization moistens the air that goes into your lungs
5) Nebulization hydrates & moisturizes your nasal passages, mouth and throat

Nebulizers are good for young children, people who have trouble using metered dose inhalers, and people who have severe asthma. Within 10 to 15 minutes, the medication is used up and symptoms are gone, or prevented for six to eight hours. Even babies can breathe the mist and nebulizer treatments are fast becoming pediatrician-approved alternatives to over-prescribed antibiotics.

Several devices are available to create the drug aerosol particles. These include jet nebulizers, ultrasonic nebulizers, metered-dose inhalers, and dry powder inhalers through which particles can reach the upper and lower respiratory tracts and be quickly absorbed into the bloodstream.

Aerosolized drugs have several advantages including quick onset of action and low incidence of systemic adverse effects.[1] Delivery of aerosolized medications typically does not cause pain to the patient, and it is frequently a more convenient method of drug delivery. Studies show that the device used really doesn’t matter, as long as it’s used properly. All methods work just as well when the correct technique is used.[2] Nebulizing is generally carried out for ten, twenty to thirty minutes each time and for best results one may need to nebulize up to five times a day.

Transdermal medicine delivers medications
to the exact site of injury, pain or disease.

Transdermal medicine applied through a nebulizer is ideal for direct treatment to the lungs. Transdermal methods of delivery are increasingly being used because they allow the absorption of medicine directly through the skin and in this case we conceptualize the lungs as an inner skin. Such treatments ensure that medications reach the site of needed action directly; bypassing the stomach and liver meaning a much greater percentage of the active ingredient gets to target tissues.

At the Ohio State University Medical Center, pharmacists, respiratory therapists, and pulmonologists endorse what they call off-label nebulization. Off-label nebulization is a rapidly growing area of patient care and in time new research and practical experience will bring us much more information on how magnesium and other agents like sodium bicarbonate, iodine, peroxide and glutathione can be administered directly into the lungs for many difficult-to-treat conditions. Even DMSO has been used in veterinarian medicine and naturopaths have used Tea Tree Oil from Australia, which is used topically as fungicide antiseptic and germicide. Eucalyptus oil has also been used forever because it is a known bronchial-dilator.

Nebulized Magnesium

Magnesium chloride oil should be nebulized as an isotonic solution – delivering 7.5g magnesium chloride per 100ml of distilled water – closely equal to 3.5 tsp of magnesium oil per 100ml. Nebulization of magnesium is an alternative method of treatment for patients with pulmonary problems or infections, or for those undergoing bronchoscopy. Magnesium nebulized directly into the lungs offers all the same positive therapeutic effects that other types of administration methods do but concentrates the effects in the lung and bronchial tissues.

Nebulised inhaled magnesium sulfate in addition to 2-agonist in the treatment of an acute asthma exacerbation, appears to have benefits with respect to improved pulmonary function in patients with severe asthma. Heterogeneity between trials included in this review precludes a more definitive conclusion.[3] Nebulized magnesium is well tolerated without any adverse effects.[4]

Currently, the most widely accepted treatments for asthma include ß2-adrenergic agonists and corticosteroids. The search for treatment alternatives for bronchoconstriction in acute asthma has led to the use of nebulized magnesium.[5] Magnesium has been associated with cellular homeostasis and frequently acts as a cofactor in enzymatic reactions. It has also been suggested that magnesium acts as a smooth muscle relaxant by interfering with calcium uptake. Research also suggests that magnesium may have a counteracting effect against bronchoconstricting agents such as sodium metabisulfite, methacholine, and histamine. Research into nebulized magnesium focuses on treating asthma and the potential to counteract bronchoconstricting agents.

A randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical study compared nebulized magnesium sulfate with nebulized albuterol in 33 patients with asthma (ages 12–60 years).[6] The study concluded that the serial doses of nebulized magnesium sulfate had bronchodilatory effects similar to those noted with nebulized albuterol.

Nannini et al.[7] examined magnesium sulfate as a vehicle for nebulized albuterol in treating acute asthma. The authors concluded that when nebulized magnesium and albuterol were used together, a higher peak flow could be achieved in comparison to albuterol plus 0.9% sodium chloride. The improvements could be seen within 10 minutes and lasted at least 20 minutes, and patients suffering from the most severe airway obstruction had a greater response to the combined treatment. Another study investigated the interactions between magnesium sulfate and sodium metabisulfite, a common preservative in food and drugs.[8] The investigators concluded that magnesium helped to minimize the bronchoconstriction effects from sodium metabisulfite.

These studies strongly suggest that nebulized magnesium would be effective for safe treatment of acute exacerbations of asthma, either as a sole agent or in combination with other medications. For this application I recommend only the purest magnesium chloride. Even the pharmaceutical and higher grades have heavy metal contamination so are not suitable.

Nebulized Bicarbonate

The bronchial secretions during attack of bronchial asthma are acidic and the acidity imparts stickiness to the secretions and moreover there is high level of neuraminic acid, which possibly correlates with the stickiness. Thus sodium bicarbonate is an excellent choice for nebulization offering it’s powerful and instant pH changing effects. Dr. Tullio Simoncini recommends aerosol use of bicarbonate for lung and bronchial adenocarcinoma. He recommends putting 1 soupspoon sodium bicarbonate in ½ liter water and inhaling it with a fast inhaler in half an hour. Six days on six days off when in IV break phases.

Dr. Lewis Nelson, a specialist in emergency medicine says, “Nebulized sodium bicarbonate has been shown to provide symptomatic relief in patients exposed to chlorine, and it is probably useful with all irritant gases that liberate acid. Through a neutralization reaction, the damaging effects of the acids are limited. Nebulized sodium bicarbonate should be used in concentrations of less than 2% (which generally means about a 4:1 dilution of standard 8% sodium bicarbonate).”[9]

Nebulized Peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide has been used for decades to conquer viral infections by thousands of doctors in thousands of patients all over the world. Hydrogen peroxide consists of a water molecule (H2O) with an extra oxygen atom (H2O2). It is the extra oxygen atom that makes it so deadly for viruses. Nebulization is a new way of administering hydrogen peroxide therapy that is almost as effective as the IV. And better than the IV method, this new treatment can be done at home, and is very inexpensive.

Nebulized peroxide is an efficient route of getting this oxygen utilizing catalyst into the body via the rich network of blood vessels in the lungs. This is not as strong a treatment as IV peroxide but it comes close. Caution: Do not mix your own peroxide, this can be dangerous. If you feel bad after the peroxide, with flu-like symptoms, headache, fever, diarrhea, fatigue, etc, this is too strong a catalytic stimulation with peroxide. Consult your physician before using peroxide in a nebulizer.

Dr. Shallenberger testimony: “When my wife developed the first symptoms of flu, instead of immediately plugging her into a hydrogen peroxide IV, I had her use the nebulizer for ten minutes every waking hour. Using the nebulizer treatment, she was able to get rid of the flu within 72 hours. I knew I was on to something, because IV hydrogen peroxide doesn’t work much better than that. So I bought a dozen nebulizers and began offering the treatment to my patients.”

“Since then I have treated hundreds of cases of colds, flus, sinusitis, and bronchitis all with the same great results. And I found that the nebulizer treatments actually have an advantage over the IV therapy that I hadn’t considered at first. And that is, that not only is the hydrogen peroxide being disseminated into the entire body through the lungs, it is also going directly to the areas of the body that are most affected by viruses – the sinuses, throat, bronchial tract, and lungs.”

Nebulized Iodine

In some countries nebulizers are given to people by prescription only because they give a person direct access to the bloodstream and this is an indication that this is serious medicine we are dealing with, so caution is advised. With nebulizers we in part get the same effect as with injections, medications quickly diffuse directly into the blood stream. Thus a nebulizer holds the capacity to save lives.

When it comes to using iodine in a nebulizer special caution is needed. The choice of iodine is important because putting in potassium, which is found in Lugol’s, is dangerous.  Potassium chloride, another salt of potassium, is used for lethal injection so I recommend only Nascent Iodine. Nebulization with iodine offers an extremely strong therapy which can clear the lungs quite rapidly of infections. Therapeutic concentrations can be increased for desired effect but it is recommended that dosages start at the low end unless there is an emergency situation. I would start my first iodine treatment with a weak solution, 3 – 5 drops and slowly increase to ten drops or more closely monitoring the experience. As long as the patient displays no discomfort or side effects concentration can be increased strongly especially when in a life threatening situation. One should expect much quicker and more dramatic results with iodine then with H2O2.

Nebulized Glutathione

Glutathione has many profound roles in the body. One role is to enable the liver to remove toxins, medications and other substances from the body. Without it, these substances cannot be removed properly. One puts a special small daily amount of glutathione in a nebulizer, which will facilitate toxin removal and possibly tissue repair. The glutathione level of the epithelial lining fluid is decreased in severe inflammatory lung diseases including in cases with Cystic fibrosis.

Glutathione in the epithelial lining fluid (ELF) of the lower respiratory tract is thought to be the first line of defense against oxidative stress. Inhalation (nebulized or aerosolized) is the only known method that increases GSH’s levels in the ELF.[10]

Dr. Michelle Alpert, D.O says, “Because oral glutathione is not well absorbed, I have also begun to experiment with nebulized glutathione, which patients can take at home between detox drips. According to a study in Alternative Medicine Review in 2000, nebulized glutathione has had remarkable success in emphysema and other lung disorders such as asthma and bronchitis. It appears that inhalation may have a systemic effect. Some patients are having even greater success with this combination.”[11]

In a case of a 95-year-old man with an acute respiratory crisis secondary to emphysema and apparent bronchial infection treatment with nebulized glutathione led to a rapid resolution of the crisis, as well as a marked improvement in the chronic course of the disease. This treatment has been used since for a number of patients with emphysema. The safety and bioavailability of this method of delivery have been established in human studies.[12]

Different people taking Nebulized Glutathione often have very different reactions. One person may tolerate Nebulized Glutathione well but not get the desired effect, another may have side effects or adverse reactions that make Nebulized Glutathione intolerable, and yet another may get the desired effect with no side effects.[13]

General Instructions

Procedure: The basic aim of a nebulizer is to facilitate a faster and more effective absorption of the medicine. This is achieved by breaking down the liquid medicine into very fine particles, which is inhaled by the patient. The first step is to add the liquid medicine to the cup attached to the device. It is important to understand that these devices accept medicine in the liquid form only, and medicine should be added at the time of usage and not before that. If the doctor has prescribed more than one medicine for nebulization, make sure if they can be mixed together or whether they should be taken separately. Once the medicine is put in the cup, close the cup and connect its tube to the air compressor. Turn the compressor on and when the compressed air reaches the nebulizer cup, it will vaporize the medicine, creating a mist. The mist is inhaled by the patient, through the mouthpiece or face mask.

Take deep breaths and inhale the vapor completely. Tap the cup regularly to ensure the right dispensation of medicine and don’t remove the mask, until the medicine is used up completely. It will take about 10 to 20 minutes to finish nebulization depending on what type of medicinal is used. Turn on the air pump and a mist will come from the mouthpiece. Place the mouthpiece in your mouth and breathe in slowly. At full inhalation, hold your breath for a 2-4 count to allow absorption in the lungs. If you are treating colds or sinus problems, you can also alternate breathing through your nose.

Special Note: I have even heard of DMSO being used in combination with other medicinals just as it would be used topically on the skin.

How to destroy Children’s Lives

When we eat or give to our children white rice, white
bread, white sugar or totally white salt it puts an absolute
demand that we supplement with magnesium and other minerals.

One hardly needs to have a magnesium test if patient’s diet consists of any of the prominent white processed foods. White rice, white sugar, white bread and white pasta are white because they are stripped of their mineral, vitamin and fiber content. These are actually poisonous foods because of the consequences of them starving us of magnesium but it will be thousands of years before scientists and medical officials wake up to that fact.

When consumed these foods and thousands of processed foods on the supermarket shelves, which are made with white sugar and white flour, demand that we supplement with magnesium or we are destined, without doubt, to breakdown and get sick. En mass we have sold out our health to a type of civilization that poisons its water and food and deprives the public of basic nutrition requirements. Yes we can eat these foods with less stress on bodies if we supplement heavily with lost vitamins and minerals but there is no way to make up lost fiber; and billions of people around the world cannot afford supplements.

Refining and processing of cane sugar and whole grains has had far-ranging detrimental effects on the health of the entire western civilization. This has resulted in losses of minerals, vitamins, enzymes, fiber, antioxidants, probiotics, proteins, essential fats and phytonutrients. It renders the food into an “empty calorie” source with little or no nutritional value. Ninety percent of Americans’ household food budget is spent on processed foods, the majority of which are filled with additives and stripped of nutrients.

Choosing refined grains such as white bread, rolls, sugary low-fiber cereal, white rice, or white pasta over whole grains can boost your heart attack risk by up to 30 percent. At least seven major studies show that women and men who eat more whole grains (including dark bread, whole-grain breakfast cereals, popcorn, cooked oatmeal, brown rice, bran, and other grains like bulgur or kasha) have 20 to 30 percent less heart disease. In contrast, those who opt for refined grains have more heart attacks, insulin resistance, and high blood pressure.

When rice is made, it goes through a variety of processes, including going through a husker to remove the grain husks. Once that process is done, brown rice is made. However, to make white rice, there are added steps that are needed. To get white rice, the inner husk (or bran) is removed and the grain is polished using glucose. This may not seem like much of a difference, but it removes several important nutrients. To get those nutrients back, many companies then reintroduce those same nutrients from synthetic sources. Those lost nutrients are not put back in so we can expect to see deficiencies in Vitamin E, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Folacin, Potassium, Magnesium and Iron from those who consume white rice. The dietary fiber of white rice is a quarter of what is in brown rice.

Everything has sugar in it. It is the cheapest preservative the food industry uses to increase the shelf life of processed foods. This highly refined substance we call sugar is devoid of any of the essential elements necessary for its efficient metabolism by the organism. To compensate for this, the body borrows B vitamins from the reserves in the tissues. This weakens the nervous system causing hyperactivity in children and more involved disease problems for adults.

A diet filled with refined sugars is one cause of behavior problems, moods swings, and attention deficits in young children. Sugar is, by far, the greatest addiction in the United States. It is far more excessive than all other forms of substance abuse combined. Consider that in 1895 the average American consumed 3 to 4 pounds of sugar per year. Today, the average American consumes his or her own bodyweight in sugar every year. All of this highly refined “rocket fuel” must be metabolized rapidly by the pancreas. The pancreas must produce insulin, the hormone responsible for converting blood glucose into the stored form glycogen and eventually triglycerides.

Old time mills ground flour slowly, but today’s mills are designed for mass-production, using high-temperature, high-speed steel rollers. The resulting white flour is nearly all starch, and even much of today’s commercially processed whole wheat flour has lost a fair amount of nutritional value due to these aggressive processing methods. Nearly everyone knows that white flour is not healthy for us for so much is lost in the refining process:

Half of the beneficial unsaturated fatty acids
Virtually all of the vitamin E
Fifty percent of the calcium
Seventy percent of the phosphorus
Eighty percent of the iron
Ninety eight percent of the magnesium
Fifty to 80 percent of the B vitamins

There are also chemical treatments in the processing that result in the formation of alloxan in the flour. Alloxan, or C4 H2O4N2, is a product of the decomposition of uric acid. According to Dr. Hari Sharma’s Freedom from Disease, alloxan causes free radical damage to DNA in the beta cells of the pancreas, causing them to malfunction and die. Scientists have long known that alloxan produces selective destruction of the beta cells of the pancreas, causing hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis in laboratory animals. Alloxan is structurally similar to glucose, which might explain why the pancreatic beta cells selectively take it up.

Alloxan is a poison that is used to produce diabetes in healthy experimental animals so that researchers can then study diabetes “treatments” in the lab. Alloxan causes diabetes because it spins up enormous amounts of free radicals in pancreatic beta cells, thus destroying them. There is no commercial application for alloxan — it is used exclusively in the medical research industry because it is so highly toxic.

Pure sea salts contain as many as 92 essential minerals; however, refined common table salts contain only 2 elements, sodium and chloride. In June of 2006, citing increased risk of hypertension, heart diseases and stroke, the American Medical Association issued a call to have salt removed from the “generally recognized as safe” food ingredient list.[1] Citing increased risk of these chronic diseases, the American Medical Association issued a call to have salt removed from the “generally recognized as safe” food ingredient list. But what the AMA is too dim-witted to say is that it is the highly processed table salts that are poisonous to human health, not real whole sea salt with all the minerals still intact.

The truth is that table salt is not healthy not because of all the sodium but because it’s presented for consumption without the normal mineral balance. Refined cocoa is cocaine; refined poppy is heroine, all three create addictions. Salt is a learned taste, not a natural one. Just watch a baby’s facial expression of disgust when they’re first given salt.

Whole sea salts have those important minerals such as potassium and magnesium still intact. The synergistic effect of all the minerals in whole, unrefined salt helps the body to stay in balance. It is best to use natural sea salts (gray, pink, course, fine, etc.) in moderation for ones salt needs. Common table salt unfortunately contains aluminum used as an anti-caking agent. Aluminum is a toxic metal that has been linked to Alzheimer’s disease and has no place in a healthy diet.

Sodium is crucial for maintaining the health of the human system. It permeates the fluid between cells. Besides being a component of extracellular fluid that bathes every living cell, sodium is important in our blood and our lymphatic fluid. It is also necessary for the production of hydrochloric acid, the digestive enzyme secreted by the stomach in order to digest protein. Along with potassium, sodium is required for the proper functioning of our nerves and the contraction of our muscles. (The heart, as you may know, is our hardest – working muscle.) Finally, sodium is necessary to maintain several kinds of equilibrium – fluid balance, electrolyte balance and pH (acid/alkaline) balance – which are all of the utmost importance to the body.

Unrefined salt does not cause high blood pressure whereas regular refined salt does. All the scientific studies that have been done showing that salt “causes” high blood pressure were done on people, who took regular, refined salt. In the early 1980s, one Harvard researcher studied the blood pressure of people who follow the macrobiotic diet. He found that macrobiotic people, despite eating a fairly salty diet with generous amounts of miso, shoyu, salty pickles, etc, had very healthy blood pressure levels of about 10 points below the national average.

The most important macro nutrient we need to recover inside of ourselves and our patients when we eat white and processed foods in general is magnesium but all the minerals processed out of white foods are important. Minerals provide the spark for most of the body’s cellular processes and keep them running efficiently. Inorganic mineral nutrients are also essential in the structural composition of hard and soft body tissues and are necessary in processes such as the action of enzyme systems, the contraction of muscles, nerve reactions and the clotting of blood. Humans need a wide range of minerals to maintain good health and we need them in the right amounts and relations to each other (co-action). Small variations in established minerals levels can cause pathological states to occur.

Our body relies on ionic minerals and trace
minerals to conduct and generate billions of
tiny electrical impulses every second of our existence.

Mineral nutrients consist of two classes: the major elements such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, iodine, and potassium; and trace elements such as copper, cobalt, manganese, fluorine, zinc and many others. All of these must be supplied in our diet because the body is unable to manufacture its own, and can only maintain its mineral balance for short periods of time. When the intake of minerals in our system becomes depleted, it draws from stores laid down in the muscles, the liver and bones.

Magnesium supplementation is the single greatest thing we can do to help people avoid serious diseases or recover from the ones they already have. Dr. Frank D. Gilliland, professor of preventive medicine at the Keck School of Medicine, and his colleagues monitored more than 2,500 pre-teens and teen-agers in a dozen Southern California communities, tracking what kids eat and measuring lung function (how well their lungs work). The team has found that children who eat lots of antioxidant-rich fruit and juices-as well as those who get an abundance of magnesium and potassium-perform better on lung function tests than children who eat less of the nutrients.[2]

One has to wonder what health and medical officials are thinking when it comes to nutrition and these basic foods that have become the staples of modern man’s diet. They never seem to understand or know that the cause of most chronic diseases starts with the foods people are eating. Typically, if you are a mainstream allopathic physician, preventive medicine is limited to elective stress testing, mammography, screening for prostate-specific antigen, periodic lipid profiling and giving some kind of lip service to life-style changes and diet. This kind of medicine though offers only a shadow of preventive medicine.

The white menances cause degenerative diseases on a massive scale through the creation of nutritional deficiency. Harvard University recognizes this saying that people who regularly eat whole grains develop cancer less often than those who don’t. A 1998 overview of 40 studies that looked at 20 types of cancer linked consumption of whole grains with reduced risks of stomach, colon, mouth, gallbladder, and ovarian cancers.[3]

Magnesium and Cardiologists

It is with no surprise that when one walks into a cardiologist’s office for an examination, the patient will not be asked questions that expose magnesium deficiencies. Can you imagine never checking the oil levels and running your car without lubricant? Well magnesium is the “oil” of the heart and it insures its proper function. One hardly needs to have a test if a patient’s diet consists of any of the prominent white foods. When consumed they demand that we supplement with magnesium or we are destined, without doubt, to break down and get sick.

Case Study: Fifty year old builder and painter complaining about back problems and his doctor’s recommendation to have major back surgery. He is able to work without much problem as long as he does not lift heavy weights but yesterday I saw him lift and move two heavy bags of cement without suffering. His actual complaint has more to do with severe leg cramps though he is not potassium deficient in his diet. Typical third world diet consists of WHITE RICE, WHITE BREAD AND WHITE PASTA. His physician typically does not think about magnesium deficiency and would just cut this gentleman up risking a lifetime of pain and agony, which is a risk of major back surgery. The chance of his obvious magnesium deficiency (no test needed) not being involved in his pain and cramps is ZERO. Magnesium deficiency ALWAYS leads to a breakdown in some organ or system eventually causing pain and discomfort. Cessation of breath ALWAYS leads to death; deprivation of water for ten days will ALWAYS lead to death. Recommendation for this man – heavy magnesium supplementation through oral and mostly transdermal approaches. It is impossible to practice real medicine without practicing magnesium medicine for the vast majority of people suffering from disease are suffering from magnesium deficiency whether their blood shows it or not.

My name is Hallgrimur Magnusson and I am an anesthesiologist in Iceland. The Icelandic medical authorities have canceled my license to prescribe intravenous magnesium. One of the reasons why is that many people came to me and asked for this kind of treatment because many kinds of pain including restless leg syndrome. They said to me that the references I gave them were useless because I bought the book on the internet. I sent them a letter saying that 60 to 70% of people in western countries are magnesium deficient but they could not find references to satisfy themselves of this so their official position is that I took this out of the blue. Incredibly they say they cannot find anything in Medline that support my theories. They say that magnesium has no effect on blood vessels, no effect on muscles and no effect on hemoglobin curvature or the release of oxygen too the cells. They say that giving magnesium intravenously is a dangerous thing to do and outweighs all benefits.

I recently this letter from an anesthesiologist telling me that he routinely used magnesium in his work but is now being pressured to stop. This is part of the dark ages that contemporary medicine is passing through. Its pharmaceutical masters do not want people to get better all they really want is to sell their pharmaceuticals that are profitable. It’s a crying shame.

Reader Comments:

“I’ve been a health coach for over 25 years and have been supporting hospice for those years.  We are in the process of raising funds to build an 8 bed stand alone hospice house in California that will not charge any of its residents.  Amazingly there are only a couple of hospice houses in all of California! I am also an EFT practitioner and know the power of touch. The emotional component of wellness is a very large.  When we are able to reconnect or diffuse that the negative side of that connection healing can begin. Thanks again for your consistent/persistence explaining about the foundation of healing and life.  If we would only accept the fact that the footing and foundation of a structure must be in place FIRST before we can expect the structure to stand.”

“I really enjoy receiving your newsletter; however I totally disagree with your opinion of hospice care. In my experience hospice is there to make sure the patient passes on period. I worked many years in allopathic medicine and never considered that my own mother would be put into a morphine coma and given 20 cc of air to stop her heart by the hospice nurse sent to given her at home care after her final radiation treatment. My mother fought this, she wanted to live. Not knowing what hospice had in mind I did not see the signs until the family were asked to leave the room as a pretense to personal care privacy. Then told she was gone moments later. When I questioned the nurse she admitted what she did and said euthanasia is standard hospice practice. Needless to say I was appalled. After this occurred I watched the same kind of treatment being given to other elderly patients whose family turned to them for critical care. They may consider it euthanasia, I consider it murder. Now I no longer work in allopathic care nor accept their services.”
