HOW TO TREAT AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE. START TODAY

Thank you, Lew Rockwell. 

Now, wait a minute. Dr. Nathan Thompson did say that it was an auto-immune disease. Auto-immune is not new. Didn't he cite AIDS or AIDS-like condition that destroys the immune system.  

A couple of good things about this video: one, we got to see the commonly listed immune cells that make up the immune system.  I could have gotten that from a Wikipedia search, that is true; still, it's nice to see.  He makes a good point that in order to treat auto-immune diseases, you have to remove the triggers that are causing your immune system to attack healthy structures in your body.  He admits that he doesn't know how to address the problem.  He points to the fact that it hasn't been studied, but I would think that AIDS, which is an auto-immune disease, has been studied and been treated to some success.  Could that be a place to start looking for applicable and valuable healing remedies?  Though Dr. Thompson certainly sounds and thinks like a very decent, sincere man, I did get the sense that he hasn't brushed up nutritional support for ailments.  I could be wrong.  Except for vitamin D, which grew in popularity about 10 years ago.  

What is the approach to healing auto-immune diseases?  Though the auto-immune disease that develops from a COVID shot is a unique auto-immune disease, my guess is that the different auto-immune diseases have similar mechanisms but slightly different targets.  There are over 100 auto-immune diseases.  Martie Whittekin spots one way to repair an immune system. 

Mr. Sardi noted that as much as 90% of underactive thyroid is due to autoimmune activity. I asked him for a summary statement to clarify and to expand on autoimmune problems. He said:

·         It is very plausible that a shortage of zinc and its co-factors B6 (required for absorption) and selenium (required for zinc release) may result in vulnerability to autoimmune disorders…that is, the immune system attacks various organs such as the eyes (uveitis, macular degeneration), kidneys (nephropathy), liver (hepatitis), pancreas (type 1 diabetes), colon (colitis, leaky gut). [We know that imbalances in the gut bacteria and leaky gut also foster autoimmune trouble.]

·         Zinc is crucial for proper function of the immune system (and so much more). Zinc deficiency is rampant in the American population. Anyone who doesn’t get enough zinc or can’t use it properly is prone to autoimmune reactions. It is possible to get enough zinc in the diet, but it takes adequate selenium to release the zinc from its binding protein. And you should know that high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) depletes zinc. Given the high consumption of HFCS in the US, the increasing incidence of autoimmune disorders is not surprising.

·       Some autoimmune conditions start as something else. Take, for example, Lyme disease. An infection (Borrelia burgdorferi) may or may not result from a tick bite. Such an infection may or may not be quelled by antibiotics. If people are low in zinc, the medication is less likely to be effective. If they are low in critical nutrients and/or have an imbalance in gut bacteria, they be more prone to autoimmune reactions.  So, seemingly out of nowhere, an infection from a tick bite mysteriously becomes an unremitting chronic problem. That effect is reported more frequently among those who are zinc-deficient. Tick bites and the infections have been around throughout human history. The new element may be zinc deficiency made worse by a craving for sugar that is too often satisfied with high fructose corn syrup.

·         Modern medicine is dealing with over 100 autoimmune conditions and trying to calm the symptoms with steroids and treat the disease with medication called monoclonal antibodies. Sadly, that process interferes with normal wound healing and restorative processes. 

I would have thought that Beta-glucans would be the go-to immune strengthener, and they are, by the way.  But so is Glutathione, fat-soluble Vitamin A, Vitamin D, and zinc.  [Find more here.]  This effort to maintain or correct the immune system will be a lifelong effort.  So you'll need to commit to powerful and effective nutritional compounds rather that synthetic ones to get your immune system back on track.  

SUPPLEMENTAL ZINC HELPS RESTORE HEALTHY HEART PUMPING AFTER A HEART ATTACK

Bill Sardi has a March 19, 2019 article on the value of zinc supplementation posted at Martie Whittekin's site, Healthy By Nature.  

Sardi alerts us to a serious health condition: zinc depletion or zinc deficiency.  It's not that we're all born deficient, but certain environmental exposures puts some of us at greater risk of becoming zinc deficient.  And given the importance of zinc in regulating our immunity, in development, and in its role in certain intellectual abilities, like reading, and composing one's emotions, zinc deficiency becomes quite a serious social health issue.  So how do we know if we're deficient in zinc?  If you've had a serious illness or if you're chronically ill, chances are you're zinc deficient.  There are, however, signs of zinc deficiency.  See the list of symptoms below.  There are so many things in our lives that can make us deficient in zinc.  Sardi points out a major culprit: arsenic.  So somehow too many of us are getting exposed to arsenic, but how?  Through our food.  More specifically, from Glyphosate: i.e., RoundUp.  

The first culprit that comes to mind is arsenic as blood concentrations of zinc and selenium, two essential trace minerals, drastically decline with exposure to arsenic.  The widespread use of glyphosate weedkillers [e.g. Roundup] in crops may be the hidden source of arsenic [or for some other reason glyphosate lowers zinc].

Dr. Derrick Lonsdale made a similar point, citing the pathology that arises from consuming non-organic foods that are sprayed with RoundUp.  He said if your food is not organic, then it has glyphosate in and on it.  Which means that we're all susceptible to zinc deficiency.  Sardi presents it thus:

Something has happened in America.  In retrospect, it appears zinc in the American diet has vanished or is not getting absorbed.  Either way, too many Americans exhibit overt symptoms of zinc deficiency.  A blood test is notoriously inaccurate as zinc may be locked up with a binding protein and be biologically unavailable.  Here are some signs and symptoms of zinc deficiency that may help you determine if you are zinc deficient [you don’t have all or even many of these]. 

Here are the symptoms.   

·         [new study about zinc for diabetes prevention and management]

·         Are you losing your sense of smell?

·         Are you losing your sense of taste?

·         Do you crave salt and habitually to add salt to your foods?

·         Do you have adult-onset acne?

·         Is your hair prematurely turning grey?

·         Does your nail bed show white flecks?

·         Do you heal slowly from cuts?

·         Do you have a low sperm count?

·         Do you frequently experience cold sores on your lips?

·         Do you have an upset stomach, air, and gas, after meals?

·         Do you have skin problems like fungal infections (Athlete’s foot), yellow toenails?

·         Do you have chronic diarrhea?

·         Do you have thin or sparse hair, vanishing eyebrows?

·         Do you have moles on your skin?

·         Do you experience eczema (atopic dermatitis; red, itchy skin)?

·         Are you lethargic or irritable for no apparent reason?

·         Is your testosterone level low?

·         Do you experience a rash around your genitalia or mouth?

·         Do you regularly consume alcohol?

·         Do you take an ACE inhibitor blood pressure pill (lisinopril)?

·         Do you have stomach ulcers?

·         Do you or your children have difficulty reading due to dyslexia (letters are backwards)?

Who exactly is at greatest risk of zinc deficiency?  No one is immune.  

Food alone either takes too long to restore sufficiency or it lacks the ability altogether.  So supplements are required.  Sardi poses the questions, "How do we correct the shortage of zinc?"  Oysters is the food with the highest concentration of zinc.  You'll have to eat quite a bit.  Sardi explains, 

Aside from oysters, there is no single food that provides enough zinc to correct a deficiency.  Typical zinc intake levels are 10 milligrams/day but maybe only 1-2 milligrams are actually absorbed.  Older adults with low stomach acid levels typically have difficulty absorbing zinc.  And wouldn’t you know, zinc is an important co-factor in the internal synthesis of hydrochloric acid in the gastric tract. 

It was important for me to hear that "very high concentrations of zinc are found in the liver, muscle, brain, and testes."  Men, take heed.  "it is no wonder that zinc sufficiency has something to do with brain function, testosterone synthesis, and liver health."

Sardi explains that "There are ~2000 milligrams of zinc stored in body tissues."  Yes, but what happens if you get seriously ill, like say you contract measles or scarlet fever or chickenpox.  These drain your zinc stores.  For older folks, it's low stomach acid that keeps us from getting enough zinc.  So if it's not environmental issues, like Glyphosate, then it's low stomach acid due to age or some kind of illness, maybe diabetes, that depletes us of adequate zinc.  Sardi points out that "The trace mineral selenium helps to release zinc so it is biologically available."  What this means is that for zinc to be more absorbent, you'll need to take selenium with it.  

Zinc shortages cause loss of smell and taste, including mental decline.  

Zinc is responsible for a strong immune system.  It regulates the size of your master immune gland, called the Thymus gland.  Sardi says that "Zinc is required to activate T-cells, those memory white blood cells that confer life-long immunity via memory T-cells that produce antibodies against various pathogenic germs."

I wrote recently how OptiZinc reduces the incidence of acne by 50%.  There are different forms of zinc that seem to provide different kinds of protection.  Zinc Carnosine heals the lower intestine.  Sardi points out other parts of the body that are aided by supplementation of zinc carnosine.

Fortunately, there is a form of zinc that protects the nervous system, promotes the health of the digestive tract, aids in wound healing, normalizes gut bacteria, promotes liver health and helps restore the sense of smell and taste to individuals with these symptoms.  It is called zinc carnosine.

Zinc Carnosine is also important for the heart.

And no one would have guessed that supplemental zinc would help restore healthy heart pumping after a heart attack.  The amount of blood pumped (ejection fraction) after a heart attack improves with the provision of zinc carnosine.

Zinc is a great wound healer. And it helps diabetics.  I cannot get diabetics to listen to me.  

Zinc is known to promote wound healing.  And the preferred form of zinc to heal up gastric ulcers is zinc carnosine.   Zinc carnosine is the form of zinc commonly used to protect and heal tissues following cancer radiation treatment or to aid antibiotics in the kill off of H. pylori, the bacterium that causes gastric ulcers.  Zinc carnosine is the trace mineral of choice for nutritional support of hepatitis (liver inflammation). 

Helps fight aging. 

Zinc carnosine has also been demonstrated to stabilize genes that become fragile with advancing age. 

A typical two-week course of zinc carnosine, taken as directed on the label, may help you become zinc sufficient. 

MERCURY COMES OFF FILLINGS EVERY TIME YOU STIMULATE THEM, EVEN FROM A CUP OF COFFEE

Let's start with a quotation from the following video: 

Using amalgam for the first filling requires removing a lot of tooth substance [one-third of the tooth], not only diseased tooth substance but healthy tooth substance as well.  So in making the undercuts, you sacrifice a lot and this results in a weakened tooth.  The next thing you know the tooth breaks off and you need a crown, then you need to repair the crown.  So it continues to the stage where there is no more to repair and you pull the tooth

Undoing all the damage that was done to us growing up can be a life-long endeavor. And even our uninformed attempts at restitution only make it worse, which is why most of us would rather just leave well-enough alone.

     

The sponsor of the video is the iaomt.org or the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology.  Linked here is the longer version of the presentation, Smoking Teeth = Poison Gas.  

But when you see this mercury vapor emitting from the slightest chafing or abrasion, say, of a pencil eraser, one can only imagine that amount of vapor emitted from chewing during a single meal or even a snack.  Even drinking a cup of coffee or grinding teeth at night or during the day or chewing gum?  Each of these activities releases mercury from the fillings.  It does tend to make one sick, not just the chemistry of it but the conspiracy of it.  Who can deny the conspiracies within dentistry?  The training of dentists has to be the most abominable study with cures exacted via extraction, drilling, filing down, capping, chemically dosing up patients, taking advantage of patients while prostrate.  What kinds of monsters would define this work as a service to your fellow man or to the community? 

So, what's the big deal about vapor?  What harm can it produce?  Because I answer that question, you should know that all dentists will treat the extraction and then replacement of fillings as though they are certified members of the Atomic Energy Commission.  

2:46-2:52
Mercury accumulated in the jaw, stomach, liver, and kidney of the sheep in just 30 days.  Then they learned that the sheep's kidneys dropped by 60% to clear inulin, an indication of kidney malfunction.  Whole body imaging of monkeys found exactly the same thing.  Proponents of amalgam fillings claim that sheep chew too much.  But what's the problem with monkeys?  They had mercury in their jaw, kidneys, liver, intestine, and heart.  

"Mercury released from dental silver fillings provokes an increase in mercury and antibiotic-resistant bacteria in primates oral and intestinal flora." Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, Volume 37, pp 825-834, 1993. 

That's more than 26 years ago that they've known this.  This certainly seems to me would take away some of the plasticity of brain function.  And what I noticed is that the comparison between the sheep and monkey that at least in the graphs presented that very little of the mercury saturated on the brain, yet the brain is the cite first and most-cited as being affected by mercury vapors.  Isn't it really the justification for the removal of the amalgam fillings and replacing them with polymers that are more eco-friendly to your mouth?  

In 1991, the World Health Organization, WHO, acknowledged that the predominant source of human exposure to mercury is from your fillings . . . 

Not seafood or other foods, not air or water but from the fillings inside your mouth.  Oh, what wonders!  And yet people are always and everywhere discount the existence of conspiracies.  Does your dentist inform you of this?  Does he even know?  Is he an idiot?  Probably.  If this hasn't scared you yet, then you're not paying life-saving attention.  Check this out: the mercury in the mother's amalgam fillings is passed onto the child, rendering that child, ah, compromising that child's inherent intelligence.  "Maternal-fetal distribution of mercury released from dental amalgam fillings."  Is anybody looking out for the health of loved ones?  Does it make any sense at all to look to the mouth and teeth, the orifice and enamel fixtures that are so close to the brain, teeth which are, in fact, lodged right between your heart and your brain?  I mean is anybody paying attention?  I know that dentists are not.  You want cleaning or something fixed?  Ha!  The best that you can hope for is a nutritional compound that removes mercury and minimizes the effects of the vapors.  

4:28
Experiments on sheep showed that mercury from sheep's fillings transferred immediately to the placenta, to the unborn fetus, and to every conceivable portion of the fetus' body.  It even increased in the lamb higher after birth from mercury in the mother's milk.  There's no such thing as a safe mercury filling.  All mercury fillings leak mercury.  

An article is pictured just as he finishes this point.  The title of that article is "Combined Effects in Toxicology--A Rapid Systematic Testing Procedure: Cadmium, Mercury, and Lead" by Jack Schubert found in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Volume 4, 1978, Issue 5-6.  

5:16
Mercury and lead is more toxic than just mercury alone.  These black, corroded, pitted mercury fillings are used where you must drill away a third of a tooth in order to fill a pinhead-sized cavity.  Even if you love mercury, it's the wrong thing to do to the children.  It leads to broken, diseased, root canal, extracted throughout the rest of their life.  It's a blunder that costs the child all through [their] life.  Millions and millions of dollars are spent annually fixing teeth again and again.  And dentists don't follow the manufactured recommendations.  The use of [mercury] amalgam [fillings] is contraindicated in the following circumstances:

In expectant mothers.In children 6 and under. In proximal or occlusal contact to dissimilar metal restorations. In patients with severe renal deficiency. In patients with known allergies to amalgam.For the retrograde or endodontic filling. As a filling material for cast crown. 

They pack mercury in children, around gold crowns, underneath bridges, they stuff it around the gum line in contact with tissues.  There's mercury spreading from this gold crown to every tissue in that patient's body.  Even if you like mercury fillings, putting mercury in the tooth is simply the wrong thing to do.  

6:15
Dr. Harald Loe, Director of The National Institute of Dental Research, wrote back in 1993, the first filling is a critical step in the life of the tooth.  Using amalgam for the first filling requires removing a lot of tooth substance, not only diseased tooth substance but healthy tooth substance as well.  So in making the undercuts, you sacrifice a lot and this results in a weakened tooth.  The next thing you know the tooth breaks off and you need a crown, then you need to repair the crown.  So it continues to the stage where there is no more to repair and you pull the tooth [root and all].  With the first filling, you should do something that can either restore the tooth or retain more healthy tooth substance.  Use new materials, or composites, or materials that can bond to the surface without undercuts.  You can do this with little of the tooth substance so that the core of the tooth is still there.  I would add that the cost of all that dental repair over and over again, makes the cost of mercury fillings enormous even if you don't consider the neurological impairment and the brain damage that they surely cause in dental personnel and the infertility and the heartbreak that they cause to so many families.

The conviction at the end of this video went horribly awry.  Here they were pointing out horror after horror of mercury amalgam fillings, and then at the end offer up an opinion, a hope really, that the government will fix the problem?  Talk about your disappointment. 

It is the opinion of this academy that responsible government agencies should prohibit the use of these fillings until such time as their manufacturers produce the alleged evidence of safety. 

GET MERCURY OUT OF YOUR BODY
Garlic might be your most reliable compound for leeching mercury and other toxic metals out of the tissue of your intestines, kidneys, brain, heart, etc.  Bill Sardi points out how garlic may be even more potent at removing toxic metals than metal chelators. 

Garlic controls heavy metals such as lead, copper, cadmium  and  iron.  Garlic is a remedy for fatty liver by virtue of its ability to remove iron. Garlic removes some heavy metals better than mineral-chelating drugs.  While some herbal dietary supplements may increase circulating lead levels, garlic does not.   

Sardi adds that

Garlic’s active ingredient is not generally yielded from garlic pills because stomach acid negates the necessary enzyme needed to produce allicin.  A buffered allicin pill that resists stomach acid has been shown to yield real allicin.

Martie Whittekin recommends a Dallas dentist, Dr. Phillip Kozlow.  He says that the alcohol in mouthwashes, like Listerine, dries out the gum tissue which makes it easy for bacteria and plaque to form.  Instead, use hot water and salt to clean your teeth in the morning or after every meal.  Remember how you did that after you lost a tooth as a kid?  Then . . . . Dr. Kozlow recommends the use of O3, ozone water.
