Detoxification

Stimulants cannot give the body what it needs. Only natural food can promote a healthy and thus happy physiological function.

You could look at it this way: the only natural way to feel good is the one that is a by-product of a normally functioning body that is producing sufficient energy at the cellular level. Any other way to feel good is phony and a result of stimulants, how innocent these stimulants may look.

Your body detoxifies itself all day and for the biggest part during your sleep. Especially until noon it is therefore sensible to eat fruit only. Your body has to dispose of the toxic elements it receives from stimulants, nutrition and pollution.

If you stop the stimulating of your body with a certain stimulant there is a good chance that the following is the result:

an immediate loss of energy;
emotional symptoms such as headaches, sickness and depressions.

So, if you stop the use of a stimulant you will not feel better right away. It's obvious that these products are really addictive. In some cases if someone improves his eating habits an immediate increase of energy is experienced but the opposite is just as often the result. The body has not only to deal with the moment but also with the problems that have resulted from the past...

Health Tip: Getting a Flu Vaccine

(HealthDay News) - An annual flu vaccine can help protect you from the nasty effects of the flu virus.

Here's some background information about the flu vaccine, courtesy of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:

• The injected vaccination contains a killed virus. It is approved for people over the age of 6 months.
• The nasal form of the vaccine is made with a weakened virus, and is approved for people ages 2-49 years. It's not recommended for pregnant women.
• Approximately two weeks after the vaccination, your body develops the antibodies needed to protect itself from specific strains of the flu virus.
• Flu season generally runs from October through May. The best months to be vaccinated are October and November, but you can still be vaccinated later.
• You cannot get the flu from a flu shot, but minor side effects may include swelling, low-grade fever, and aches and pains.
• Similarly, you cannot develop full-blown flu from the nasal spray vaccine, but minor side effects may include runny nose, headache, and sore throat.

Don't Ignore Tough or Long-Term Stomach Pain

(HealthDay News) -- While the occasional stomachache isn't a serious health issue, persistent or severe stomach pain is another matter that could signal serious trouble, says the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG).
People with the following symptoms need to see a doctor:

• steady, severe pain or regularly recurring pain;


• pain lasting for hours or days;


• pain that wakes you from sleep;


• pain that impairs your ability to work or perform routine activities;


• loss of weight or appetite.

Immediate medical attention is required if abdominal pain is accompanied by:

• fever;


• diarrhea;


• persistent constipation;


• blood in the stool;


• change in the color of urine;


• persistent nausea or vomiting;


• vomiting blood;


• severe tenderness of the belly;


• jaundice (yellowish discoloration of the skin or whites of the eyes);


• swelling of the abdomen.

The ACG also recommends that people see a doctor if they are regularly taking any medicines that can cause ulcers, such as aspirin or other medications commonly used to treat arthritis or headaches.

Feeling Stressed?

(HealthDay News) -- You just missed a deadline at work, you're supposed to chaperone your son's school field trip, and your mechanic called to tell you your car's transmission is shot.
Stressed to the max?

Everyone experiences stress. And many people are stressed every day. But, stress isn't always as obvious as in the example above. In fact, some people don't even realize how much stress they're under until they suffer serious physical consequences of that stress.

Psychologist Anie Kalayjian, professor of psychology at Fordham University, said she's had patients end up in the emergency room, convinced they were having a heart attack, but instead, it was just the body's extreme response to stress.

"If you're a person running around with high energy or nervous energy, you may not realize that you're stressed until you collapse!" said Kalayjian.

According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, some possible signs that you're under too much stress are: Anxiety, back pain, stiff neck, depression, fatigue, trouble sleeping, unexpected weight changes, headaches, relationship troubles and high blood pressure.
"People need to start proactively trying to prevent episodes before they have extreme reactions," recommended Kalayjian.

But that doesn't mean you should make managing stress just another item on your "to-do" list, cautioned Gail Elliott Evo, the integrative medicine coordinator at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Mich.

"We talk so much about stress now. It's to the point that people are now feeling judgmental when they experience stress and can't eliminate it. But, unless you're a guru sitting in a temple in Tibet, I don't think you can avoid stress. There will be periods where you'll have stress," she said.

Still, managing stress or reducing it as much as you can is a smart idea, because constant stress leaves your body flooded with stress hormones, which can increase your risk of heart attack and other serious health problems.

"Stress causes physical and psychological reactions. It can alter your sleep. It leaves you constantly in fighting-mode and leaves your immune system suppressed. You may get sick a lot," Kalayjian said.

There's no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to managing stress.

"Some things will be right for one person but not for another. Be open, and try things. Give something a try, and if it's not right for you, move on to something else. You'll eventually find something that's right for you," said Evo.

Some of the approaches she recommends include: Massage, healing touch, yoga, tai chi, walking, meditation and guided imagery.

Kalayjian said a good place to start de-stressing is with deep breathing.

"One minute per each hour of the day, you need to sit and do nothing but focus on breathing. No phones, no lists, no responsibilities. It's almost like how you recharge your battery for your mobile phone. We need to recharge, too," she said.

She also recommends exercise. "Don't wait to feel stressed. Get at least a half an hour of exercise every day. It gets a lot of the toxins and stress out of our bodies," Kalayjian said.
Kalayjian also advocates something she calls "journaling."

"It helps to put things on paper and outside of yourself. You don't have to store it in your heart, body or mind. When we journal, we let go of things and that acts as a release," she said.

She also suggests getting organized. "Many people waste 20 percent of their time looking for things. Try to be organized. Label things. Have organizers. It seems very mundane, but helps tremendously in saving your energy," Kalayjian said.

Evo said many people use a combination of techniques to relieve their stress.
"Be playful with it. Try different things," she said.

Kalayjian agreed, adding that people need to "learn how to have a sense of humor, to laugh and make others laugh, too."

Finally, Kalayjian advised that if you try several different methods to "de-stress" and just can't seem to relax, you could probably benefit from seeing a psychotherapist.

Aluminum

Aluminum toxicity is a serious condition that occurs when a person absorbs excessive amounts of aluminum—a metal that often deposits itself in the brain. Aluminum is the most abundant metallic element in the earth’s crust and is introduced into the body through the digestive system, lungs and skin, before it is absorbed into the tissues.

The highest exposure to aluminum is most frequently due to chronic consumption of aluminum-containing antacid products. Research shows that aluminum builds up in the body over time, creating an increased health hazard as people get older.

Aluminum toxicity can lead to symptoms similar to Alzheimer’s disease and osteoporosis and can impair kidney function. Aluminum toxicity can also lead to colic, rickets, gastrointestinal problems, poor calcium metabolism, anemia, headaches and decreased liver function. A disturbing pattern of aluminum accumulation and interference with normal neurological function appears to be supported in many scientific arenas.

Recent studies suggest that aluminum contributes to neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, senile and pre-senile dementia, clumsiness of movements, staggering when walking, and the inability to pronounce words properly. Autopsies, performed on people who have died of Alzheimer’s disease, showed accumulations of up to four times the normal amount of aluminum in the nerve cells of the brain. Levels were especially high in the hippocampus, which plays a central role in memory.

There are also geographical links between Alzheimer’s disease and high aluminum in drinking water. Elevated hair aluminum has been observed in Alzheimer’s patients. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, another neurodegenerative disease, may also be linked to aluminum content of water supplies. Behavioral difficulties among schoolchildren have also been associated with elevated levels of aluminum and other neurotoxic heavy metals. Studies show that dyslexic children have higher levels of aluminum in their hair, when compared with controls.

Arsenic

Arsenic diagnosis, especially from low doses of inorganic arsenic (the type found in Chromated Copper Arsenate or CCA-treated lumber) is not easy. According to the EPA, CCA is a highly toxic chemical formulation that contains water, arsenic acid, chromic acid, and copper oxide, and is primarily used as a wood preservative and insecticide/fungicide.

It is found virtually everywhere. It is sold in lumber and hardware stores nationwide and is used by consumers and contractors to construct decks, playgrounds and fences. There is no one set of symptoms; responses vary, depending upon exposure means and levels.

Arsenic can be inhaled, ingested (swallowed) or absorbed through contact. Arsenic poisoning is difficult to pin down; most of the arsenic leaves the body within three days of exposure.

The arsenic that remains is stored in the brain, bones, and tissue and continues to do serious damage. Some people have no immediate symptoms but the exposure can cause diabetes and many types of cancer later on.

There is new evidence that arsenic may also lead to heart disease and strokes. It may cause long term liver, kidney, and central nervous system damage.

Arsenic exposure, even at low levels, can result in a range of symptoms. Swallowing or inhaling low levels of inorganic arsenic can result in stomach ache, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

It can also result in decreased production of red and white blood cells, which may cause fatigue, abnormal heart rhythm, blood-vessel damage (resulting in bruising), and impaired nerve function. One of the early warning signs of arsenic poisoning is a “pins and needles” sensation in the hands and feet.

Long-term oral exposure to inorganic arsenic can result in skin changes including a darkening of the skin and the appearance of small “corns” or “warts” on the palms, soles, and torso.

Other signs and symptoms include skin thickening, fluid accumulation (resulting in puffiness) especially around the lower eyelids, face and ankles, diarrhea, garlic breath, perspiration, excessive salivation, generalized itching, oral inflammation, sore throat, runny nose, excessive tearing, numbness, skin inflammation, hair loss, weakness, and loss of appetite.

Arsenic can also cause a range of neurological effects, including headaches and vision problems. It can cause noticeable behavioral changes, most commonly aggression or depression.

Detoxamin EDTA Chelation Therapy Suppositories are a new patented method of Ca-EDTA chelation therapy medically equivalent to I.V. chelation therapy.

Detoxamin EDTA Chelation Therapy Suppositories are a new patented method of Ca-EDTA chelation therapy medically equivalent to I.V. chelation therapy.

The difference is that Detoxamin introduces a smaller dosage of Calcium Disodium EDTA on a nightly basis.

By applying the highly efficacious Detoxamin suppository containing EDTA, you remove toxic metal from cells all over the body.

The self-administration is performed rectally before retiring so that as you sleep you are taking chelation therapy with EDTA. There's no need for intravenous infusions or quantities of nutritional supplements.

What is EDTA chelation therapy and what is it used for?Chelation (pronounced key-lay-shun) is the process by which a metal or mineral (such as lead, mercury, iron, arsenic, aluminum, etc.) is bonded to another substance-in this case an amino acid called EDTA, Ethylene-Diamine-Tetra-Acetic acid. It is a natural process, basic to life itself. During EDTA chelation therapy, the EDTA infusion bonds with unwanted metals in the body and quickly carries them away in the urine.

Chelation therapy is a safe, effective alternative to drugs and surgeries and is used to treat many illnesses now known to be linked to the presence of toxic heavy metals. Illnesses such as heart disease, strokes, diabetes, circulatory disorders, neuropathies, Alzheimer's disease, atherosclerosis, and adverse reactions to many environmental pollutants. Traditional chelation therapy uses an intravenous drip, and is administered in the outpatient setting.

The number of treatments vary based on each person's individual condition and/or goals of treatment. The average therapy is given one to three times a week for twenty to thirty treatments.How long has EDTA chelation therapy been in use? Why don't more people use it?EDTA chelation therapy for the detoxification for heavy metals has been in continuous use since the 1940s when it was introduced specifically for the treatment of lead poisoning. It was very quickly observed that as the metals were eliminated, not only did the signs and symptoms of lead poisoning abate, but problems related to the circulatory system like heart attacks, angina, strokes, and peripheral vascular disease also improved.

For the past 50 years, well over one million people have received the intravenous form of EDTA chelation. As beneficial and life saving as this therapy has become, it is very expensive and very time-consuming, making it out of reach for most people.Why is Ca-EDTA, Calcium Disodium EDTA, so much better than other types of chelation therapy?According to Dr. Bruce Halstead, "The chemistry of all chelators is such that a change of pH can dramatically effect the process of chemical binding needed to chelate a mineral or metal. When you use a less effective chelator, such as Magnesium EDTA, you lose all chelating ability of the two most essential heavy metals: lead and mercury. Magnesium di-Potassium EDTA has a dramatically lower chelating effectiveness than Calcium EDTA because both magnesium and potassium dramatically decrease the pH in the blood environment to which it is introduced. Any factor decreasing pH renders EDTA less effective.

Once the pH is lowered more than 7.38, it's no longer chemically conducive to any bonding or chelating." (Dr. Halstead is well known as the 'Father of Chelation Therapy'.)

Dr. Morton Walker Speaks on Detoxamin - Toxic Metals Induce Degenerative Diseases; Rectal Chelation Therapy Overcomes Them.

Environmentalists warn us repeatedly that we live on a poisoned planet. Toxins from mercury, lead, aluminum, cadmium, iron, nickel, and about 20 more metallic minerals permeate the Earth's milieu. Heavy and light metals poison us by combining to create deleterious signs and symptoms often referred to collectively as Toxic Metal Syndrome.

This syndrome, an indicator of serious systemic pathology, results in degenerative diseases which affect no less than 92% of the populations of Western industrialized nations, in particular, those people living in apartment high-rises and other polluted city dwellings. What happens to them? These poisoned people eventually come down with manifestations of degenerative illnesses such as heart and/or blood vessel deteriorations; pancreatitis; gout, rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis; the syndromes of yeast, chronic fatigue, and/or irritable bowel; Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, parkinsonism, and many more which may be deadly-cancer for instance.

Although a poisoned person's bones remain toxic for life, excellent self-treatment exists to reduce or reverse most symptoms of illness in other body parts. First, get tested for the extent of toxicity, then neutralize metallic poisoning with a chelating agent such as Detoxamin. By applying the highly efficacious Detoxamin suppository containing EDTA, you remove toxic metal from cells all over the body. The self-administration is performed rectally before retiring so that as you sleep you are taking chelation therapy with EDTA. There's no need for intravenous infusions or quantities of nutritional supplements.Rectal chelation therapy does the job of detoxifying in a low-cost, convenient manner; it's an effective way to effuse EDTA through the bowel's walls and into your blood stream to clean toxic metals from all body cells.

Do I need Ca-EDTA chelation therapy?
We find ourselves existing in a far more toxic and hostile environment than our bodies were designed to handle. Experts have shown that almost every health problem-from learning disorders to cancer and heart disease-is aggravated by the approximate 1,000% increase in lead levels in our bones. In 1999, it was reliably reported that hearts with some form of disease have 20,000 times more toxic heavy metals than healthy hearts."Human exposure to heavy metals has risen dramatically in the last 50 years as a result of an exponential increase in the use of heavy metals in industrial processes and products." says Maile Pouls, Ph.D (Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, July 1999).A recently concluded "Body Burden" study by New York's Mt. Sinai Hospital and the Environmental Working Group was reviewed by University of Oregon Professor Joseph Thornton: "It shows the universality of chemical contamination of people's bodies," Thornton said.

All the studies "confirm the general message that everybody in our society has these chemicals building up. Some people have it worse than others, but everyone has it. No one is clean anymore." (From Being Careful Can't Keep Chemicals Out of Your Body, Miami Herald, February 1, 2003.)Today we know that about one out of every 2.5 Americans will get cancer. Ninety eight percent of cancer is caused by toxic chemicals. When 50% of all men and 33% of all women living now will die of cancer, something is terribly wrong. (Mortality from cancer was reduced by 90% during an 18-year study of 59 patients treated with Calcium-EDTA. This and over 40 other studies prove the efficacy of Ca-EDTA, Calcium Disodium EDTA chelation therapy and Detoxamin. We will all function better and live longer if we lower the overall burden of toxic metals within ourselves. If you eat or breathe, you will probably benefit greatly from chelation therapy.

Is Detoxamin safe for children?
Yes. In fact, Detoxamin case studies were conducted on lead poisoning in children. The study showed no significant increase in BUN or creatinine levels even in very young children. Due to our lower dosage and time release formulation, no renal toxicity was encountered.BEHAVIORAL, STRUCTURAL, FUNCTIONAL ABNORMALITIES ASSOCIATED WITH VARIOUS HEAVY METAL TOXINS.Reference: Published in the August issue of Alternative & Complimentary Therapies (a magazine for doctors) and Published in Townsend Letter for Doctor's and PatientsPsychiatric Disturbances:

Detoxamin Usage Instructions: Detoxamin EDTA Suppositories are solid, bullet-shaped preparations designed for easy insertion into the anus (back passage). Detoxamin is manufactured in a cocoa-butter base, a time-release agent (fatty acid base), and 750 mg of Calcium-Disodium EDTA. Detoxamin will dissolve at body temperature and will gradually spread over the lining of the lower bowel (rectum), where it is absorbed into the bloodstream. Detoxamin is designed to release 750 mg Calcium Disodium EDTA slowly, over an 80-minute period.

A. Detoxamin Protocol for More Severe Cases:
1. Take one suppository at night, prior to bedtime.
2. Take every night for up to 90 days. This will provide the medical equivalence of 30 IV Chelation treatments.
3. Take proper mineral/trace mineral/vitamin replacement every day.
4. Take all other suplementaion every day.B. Detoxamin Protocol for Less Severe Cases/Anti-Aging/Prevention:
1. Take Detoxamin every OTHER night, prior to bedtime.
2. Take Detoxamin every other night for 180 days (90 suppositories). This will provide the medical equivalence of 30 IV chelation treatments.
3. Take proper mineral/trace mineral/vitamin replacement every day.
4. Take all other supplementation every day.

Detoxamin Protocol AFTER A or B is completed:
Your bones are toxic for life. Lead and other heavy metals are stored in the bones and get re-distributed into the bloodstream. Therefore, it is highly recommended to continue maintenance with Detoxamin, this provides the ultimate in Anti-aging benefits.

1. Take 5 Detoxamin suppositories over a 30-day period. This porvides medically equal to about 2 EDTA IV treatments.
2. Take porper mineral/trace mineral/vitamin replacement every day.

Note: Detoxamin is designed to be taken at night, however some patients and physicians prefer taking a suppository in the morning after evacuation. (Optional)

How to Use Detoxamin:
Insert Detoxamin suppositories at night, prior to bedtime.
Eat early in the evening, about 4 hours prior to bedtime. (Reduces any discomfort).
1. Go to the toilet and empty your bowels if necessary.
2. Wash your hands.
3. Remove the plastic wrapping from Detoxamin.
4. Either squat or lie on your side with one leg bent and the other staight.
5. Gently but firmly push the suppository into the rectum, FLAT end first until past the sphincter muscle. By inserting the flat end first opposed to the pointed end, the suppository will travel higher up in the rectum more easily. If necessarey moisten the suppository with a little water. Push it in far enough so it doesn't slip out.
6. Close your legs and sit or lay still for a few minutes.
7. Wash your hands again.
8. Try not to empty your bowels for at least 80 minutes.
9. It is optional to take Detoxamin in the morning, after evacuation.

STORAGE: Store Detoxamin in a cool dark place, but not in the fridge. If Detoxamin suppository gets warm it may melt, put the fridge for a few minutes, this will return the suppository to its original state so it may be inserted.
Shelf Life: 2 Years

Peptic Ulcer - Prevention and Treatment

Prevention: Because no one knows exactly how people become infected with H. pylori or why it causes ulcers, there is no way to prevent most cases of peptic ulcers. The only precaution is to wash your hands thoroughly before eating and after using the bathroom. You may help to prevent peptic ulcers not related to H. pylori by eliminating or limiting the use of NSAIDs and tobacco.

Treatment: For ulcers caused by H. pylori, treatment requires a combination of medications. The goals are to kill H. pylori bacteria in the body, reduce the amount of acid in the stomach, and protect the lining of the stomach and intestines. Most patients are treated with "triple therapy," which requires taking two antibiotics and one acid-suppressing medication for one to two weeks. A variety of antibiotics and acid-suppressing medications may be used.

Typically, the acid-suppressing medication will be either an H2 blocker, such as ranitidine (Zantac) or cimetidine (Tagamet) or a proton pump inhibitor, such as omeprazole (Prilosec) or lansoprazole (Prevacid). Your doctor will prescribe a specific regimen based on convenience, cost and any allergies you have.

Triple therapy requires taking as many as 8 to 12 pills every day, and it can cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache and yeast infection in women. However, the treatment is 80% to 90% effective. Ulcers caused by H. pylori won't heal completely or may heal and then return if the bacteria are not killed.

Typically, you will take antibiotics and other medication for two weeks, then may take acid-suppressing medication for another four to eight weeks. Gastric ulcers tend to heal more slowly than duodenal ulcers. Uncomplicated gastric ulcers take up to two or three months to heal completely, while duodenal ulcers take about six weeks.

The H. pylori infection can return and cause another ulcer, particularly if the first infection is not eliminated completely. If your symptoms don't go away completely, your doctor may suggest re-testing for H. pylori after your treatment is completed. People whose ulcers are caused by NSAIDs or other drugs should stop using these drugs.

Healing will begin almost immediately. Doctors also may recommend medications to reduce acid damage during healing. These may include antacids to neutralize gastric acids or medications that decrease the amount of acid produced by the stomach, such as an H2 blocker or proton pump inhibitor. Ulcers caused by a medication should begin healing as soon as you stop taking the drug. Antacids or medications that limit the amount of acid your stomach produces may be used for two to six weeks to help healing and relieve pain.

Emergency treatment may be needed if an ulcer causes serious bleeding. Usually, this treatment is done through an endoscope using special clips or probes. Acid-blocking medications may be given intravenously (injected into a vein), and blood transfusions may be necessary if the bleeding is severe.

In extremely rare circumstances, surgery may be needed to treat a perforated or bleeding peptic ulcer. The surgery, which usually requires an abdominal incision, involves sewing normal tissue over the ulcer to seal it. However, it is rarely done now because treatments for H. pylori infections are so successful.

Other Factors That Can Generate Fatigue

Fatigue can result from a variety of conditions other than chronic fatigue syndrome, according to Leon Chaitow, N.D., D.O.

These include:
• Adrenal insufficiency caused by excessive stress and/or the overuse of stimulants (tea, coffee, chocolate, cola, alcohol, tobacco, drugs)
• Anemia (low levels of iron or vitamin B12 in the blood result in anemia; a blood test can verify this diagnosis)
• Candidiasis (often misdiagnosed as CFS in women)
• Cardiovascular causes (if breathless-ness and/or chest pain on exertion accompanies fatigue, the heart may be involved)
• Chronic ill-health (many chronic diseases have fatigue as a symptom)
• Depression
• Diabetes
• Headaches
• Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
• Obesity
• Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) (the connection will be obvious if fatigue occurs at the same time in the monthly cycle)
• Sleep disturbance or inadequate
• Stress
A number of the causes listed above are also symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome. This highlights the circularity of symptoms and illness. Depression is both a symptom and a cause of fatigue, as are headaches, candidiasis, PMS, poor stress-coping skills, and sleep disorders. The presence of these factors can produce a downward spiral of illness and it becomes difficult to tell which came first, the fatigue or the other exhibited symptoms.

Concise Definitions of the Three Related Epidemics

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is an um­brella term for a multiple-symptom disorder characterized most commonly by the sudden onset of extreme, debilitating fatigue, pain in the muscles and joints, headaches, and poor concentration. The fatigue is not alle­viated by rest and results in a substantial reduction in previous levels of daily activity.

CFS is often cyclical, with periods of relative health followed by debilitation. Other symp­toms include depression, anxiety, digestive disorders, memory loss, allergies, recurring infections, and low-grade fever. According to the CDC, CFS predominantly affects white women, 25-45 years old.

Fibromyalgia is a multiple-symptom syn­drome primarily involving widespread mus­cle pain (myalgia) that can be debilitating in its severity.

The pain seems to be caused by the tightening and thickening of the myofascia, the thin film of tissue that holds the muscle together. Typical tender sites include the neck, upper back, rib cage, hips, and knees.

Other symptoms include general fatigue and stiffness, insomnia and sleep­ing disorders, anxiety, depression, mood swings, allergies, carpal tunnel syndrome, headaches, the sense of "hurting all over," tender skin, numbness, irritable bowel symptoms, dizziness, and exercise intoler­ance. Post-traumatic fibromyalgia is be­lieved to develop after a fall, whiplash, or back strain, whereas primary fibromyalgia has an uncertain origin. The majority of fibromyalgia sufferers are women between the ages of 34 and 56.

Environmental Illness is a multiple-symp­tom, debilitating, chronic disorder involving prolonged, heightened, and often incapaci­tating allergies or sensitivities to numerous common substances found in one's envi­ronment. Symptoms may include head­aches, fatigue, muscle pain and/or weak­ness, coughing or wheezing, asthma, weight loss, infections, and emotional fluctuations, depression, and irritability. The illness is sometimes referred to as "twentieth cen­tury disease" because patients become allergic to and functionally incompatible with many products and substances found in the modern world, such as car exhaust, synthetic carpets, plywood and other build­ing materials, cleaning agents, office machines, and plastics, among others.

In March 1988, the CDC released criteria for a diagnosis of CFS; it revised these in 1994 to encompass the broader symptom spectrum of those afflicted. In order to be diagnosed with CFS, a person has to be suffering from these symptoms:

1) New, unexplained, persistent, or relapsing chronic fatigue that is not a consequence of exertion, not resolved by bed rest, and severe enough to significantly reduce previous daily activity; and

2) Four or more of the following symptoms for at least six months:

• Unexplained or new headaches
• Short-term memory or concentration impairment
• Muscle pain
• Pain in multiple joints unaccom­panied by redness or swelling
• Unrefreshing sleep
• Postexertion malaise that lasts for longer than 24 hours
• Sore throat
• Tender lymph nodes in the neck or armpits

The Multiple Factors That Contribute to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a complicated disorder characterized by profound fatigue that doesn't improve with bed rest and may worsen with physical or mental activity.

Of all chronic illnesses, CFS is one of the most mysterious. Unlike infections, it has no clear cause.

Unlike conditions such as diabetes or anemia, there's essentially nothing to measure. And unlike conditions such as heart disease, there are relatively few treatment options.

• Bronchitis
• Cold
• fatigue
• Headache
• Hepatitis

The Multiple Factors That Contribute to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

• Multiple infections (viruses, candidacies, parasites)
• Immune dysfunction
• Thyroid problems
• Enzyme deficiency
• Toxicity (from environment, food, dental amalgams, and drugs)
• Underlying allergies
• Nutritional deficiency
• Lifestyle (stress, psychological/ emotional factors)
• Lyme disease

THE ELIMINATION DIET

from: ELIMINATION DIET

I’ve often talked with folks that were confident that foods didn’t have any impact on their symptoms. I ask if they’ve ever run a good ‘elimination’ diet and a surprising number assure me that they have. Upon further questioning I always find that they have only eliminated a couple of foods, say milk or wheat or nightshade vegetables (tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, etc.). Even though milk and wheat are common food allergens and nightshade vegetables create problems for those possessing one specific metabolism, this should not be considered a true elimination diet.

Over 85% of people with chronic disease have food allergies. Most will find not one, but a handful of foods acting as the major culprits. This is the reason why eliminating just one or two random foods is all but useless. If you were allergic to a large number of tree pollens, springtime grasses and weeds, the removal of only one of these airborne allergens would usually have little impact on your total allergy symptoms. If the allergen was added back into the mix you probably wouldn’t notice. The effect from this one allergen would be hidden or ‘masked’ by your already prominent symptoms to the other allergens. The same phenomenon occurs with foods.

How could we find whether the airborne allergen in the above example was a significant factor in triggering our allergic symptoms? The best way would be to place ourselves in a room with perfectly filtered air (in essence eliminating all airborne allergens) until our allergy symptoms abated. The specific allergen would then be re-introduced and any allergic reaction noted. In this way the impact of a single, specific allergen can be isolated and tested. What was previously thought to be a rather insignificant allergen would often deliver a surprisingly strong allergic response.

We can do the same thing with foods. Historically ‘spring water fasts’ have been employed. Patients would drink only spring water for the initial 4-5 days. This type of ‘fast’ would obviously eliminate all food allergens from the diet. It was maintained for 4-5 days to also allow physical elimination of all foods eaten prior to the start of the ‘fast’ from the digestive tract.Spring water fasts have one major problem.

A significant percentage of individuals cannot tolerate them and should not try them. Their metabolic demands make any kind of extended water fast dangerous. Fortunately years of previous testing has provided a list of ‘safe’ foods that can be temporarily substituted for your usual diet. These foods are not completely hypo-allergenic but they do have a low allergenic potential. In other words they are rarely found to induce a reaction. The foods include cod, trout, mackerel, pears, parsnips, turnips, rutabaga, sweet potatoes, yams, celery, zucchini, carrots and peaches. Any foods routinely eaten more than twice a week should be removed from the list. All the foods must be fresh and in their ‘whole’ or natural form. No cans or other packaging allowed.

Spring water or sparkling water are the only acceptable liquids. The only allowed condiment is sea or mineral salt. Steaming is an excellent method of preparing foods during your elimination diet.Prior to starting the diet you’ll need to purchase a bottle of magnesium citrate (found in the laxative section) and alka-seltzer ‘gold’ (it’s found only in the gold colored box). All drugs should be continued. Smoking should be ceased when initiating the diet. You will not be able to eat at restaurants during the diet.If you work, Thursday evening will be the best time to begin. Wait two hours after dinner and pour one-half of the contents of the bottle of magnesium citrate into a tall glass.

Add an equal amount of water and some ice and drink slowly. Repeat the same procedure with the remainder of the magnesium citrate just prior to retiring.Friday morning’s breakfast and all subsequent meals for the next six days should consist exclusively of the ‘safe’ foods (cod, trout, mackerel, pears, parsnips, turnips, rutabaga, sweet potatoes, yams, celery, zucchini, carrots and peaches). You may eat them in any combination and in any amount as often as you want throughout the first six days. Take note of what you are eating and how often you are eating it. You won’t be able to remember so keep a diary. You will need that information later.

By Friday evening (day 1) you should start feeling your first ‘withdrawal’ symptoms. You won’t be getting the temporary lift provided by your allergenic food(s). Withdrawal symptoms can take many forms. The most obvious is an increase in joint swelling and pain. Headache, muscle aches, fatigue and other flu-like symptoms are very common. Strong hunger pangs and cravings are usually present. It’s not unusual to still feel hungry shortly after a meal.

Withdrawal symptoms will worsen on Saturday and Sunday (days 2 and 3). The intensity of these symptoms should not be underestimated. In fact many will feel completely crippled during these days. Withdrawal symptoms can be somewhat ameliorated by taking one tablet of alka-seltzer (in the gold box) in a large glass of water. This can be repeated every 4 hours if needed. You should try to drink plenty of water. It will help speed elimination and the ‘clearing’ of symptoms.By Monday (day 4) some will feel significantly better as their withdrawal symptoms begin to clear. This ‘clearing’ will continue on Tuesday and Wednesday (days 5 and 6). While younger people tend to clear their symptoms earlier, 85% of all arthritics will clear a large part of their arthritis symptoms by day 6.
After clearing most report that they feel better than they have in years.Now that symptoms have cleared new foods can be introduced, one by one, to the base diet of ‘safe’ foods that you’ve been eating the past 6 days. Up to 3 foods can be tested each day if there is no reaction.NB : If fresh/frozen mackerel not available, can substitute cod, or other white fish even. People who are pretty sure they are H-G can add in lamb.

Master Cleanse Day 16

• Day 16

Symptoms: I stunk! I walked into work and people started sniffing me the way they used to before I changed my diet & started taking Sun Chlorella A. I felt miserable. I hate it when people look at me like that and sniff super loud or hold their breaths. It really ruined my day, even though I was very happy before I got to work. My breath also got bad too. It has to be die-off because I don't see how I could live on lemonade for 16 days straight without food and still stink up a room.I'm just glad it landed on a Friday so I can stink the rest of the weekend at home instead of embarrassing myself at work.
Improvements: I didn't have any headaches, lung pain or fatigue today. My skin is also looking better every day. The acne is gone and the redness is still there a little. I also had a bowel movement today and got a solid stool. But seriously, before I was getting a stool that was 50% mucous. This time, none! That must be a good thing, but it did smell something terrible. That must be more toxins. Maybe the reason I smelled today was because I went poop. I've noticed on occasion that having solids in my bowel contributes to having a foul odor, so I guess it's a good thing that I don't go often.Even though it wasn't a pleasant day at work, I'm still excited that I'm getting through this. Now that I'm in phase 4, it's all healing from here--with occasional toxic removal crises. I love myself for this and I am so proud of myself. For those of you who are having health problems, give it a try. You will thank yourself every day you make it and you'll be giving yourself the gift of health.

Master Cleanse Day 15

• Day 15

Symptoms: I woke up with a plugged up ear. My lungs also hurt and I woke up with an asthma attack again, which seems to happen every time I start to have detox days. The same is true with the headache. All of these symptoms went away after 3 hours.

Improvements: My mood has been steadily good all day. I'm still getting mucous every day almost constantly, but there is less quantity than before. I didn't think about food until the day was mostly over. Plus the lemonade tasted better than on the previous days. My skin also looks better. People used to always tell me how young I looked. Then I started rapidly prematurely aging and suddenly everyone started talking about what it's like to age...like I could suddenly relate...Now I'm getting healthy and people don't do that anymore...Now they are complimenting me again on how young I look...It's starting to happen a lot. That was so exciting. I've been hoping to become my old self again and it looks like I am.

Master Cleanse Day 14

• Day 14

Symptoms: I woke up with the usual sore throat that went away after about an hour. Then I started getting a headache, nausea and leg cramps. I can tell I'm getting further along because the leg cramps are supposed to be a die-off symptom of long-term fasting/detoxing. I was feeling weak and just tried to relax most of the day, but still got done what needed to be done. My tongue is still coated white, but the very outsides are nice & pink.Improvements: I didn't have any bad breath today. I've had bad breath & body odor problems for quite some time and had improved those a lot before the MC, but they got worse during the cleanse. Today was the first day I didn't have that problem. I'm itching less...almost not at all, but my left hip suddenly felt inflamed and I scratched it hard for about 30 seconds straight until I felt that my fingertips were wet and brought my hand up to see them covered in blood...That's just what is left of my psoriasis, but the bleeding myself with scratching has been a common problem for me over the past couple years. My skin is getting a little bit better on my face.

Improvements happen gradually. It's less red and some of the acne is going away. Today I got a lot less mucous than on all the previous days. That means my lymph’s are finally becoming clean. Thank goodness. I also noticed my sense of smell is amazing. I used the tap at work that serves hot water, since I was going to make some mint tea and I could smell this musky smell from the hot steam coming up to my face. I've used that water plenty of times and could never smell it. I can even smell cold food and raw food! I cannot believe how amazing my sense of smell is. As for the body odor, I can smell something bad in my skin. I smell it best when I sniff the palms of my hands since they sweat more. But since I've done so many liver flushes, colonics and bowel cleanses and don't have the impaction others are talking about in the master cleanse blog, I figured this cleanse is all I should need to get clean and detoxified. I hope. I do plan to do another liver flush a couple weeks after I'm back to eating and I will probably do another master cleanse. I think three to four short cleanses a year after this long one will be sufficient to assist my health. Along with 3-4 liver flushes a year and ongoing colonics.

Step-by-step journal of my Master Cleanse.Day1-Day 3

I'm at least doing ten days on the Master Cleanse, but frankly, I think I can make it a lot longer than that because so far I'm doing okay and I feel stoked about my success. That's why I've decided to take it one step at a time, but I keep in mind the Master Cleanse detoxification strategies that state: "While a short fast will reduce the symptoms, a longer fast can completely heal." I am not in this to "reduce symptoms", I intend to get my health back and not be a slave to any more nasty symptoms. Here is my log. I will update it regularly:

• Day 1

Symptoms: growling stomach, weakness, tremoring and hunger.
Improvements: none noticeable

• Day 2

Symptoms: Weakness, chills, slight headache, weakness flu like symptoms, stomach growling, gas, some body odor, oily skin, thick coating on tongue, bad breath.
Improvements: Less redness in my skin.

• Day 3

Symptoms: Chills, shortness of breath, asthma attack, cotton mouth, bad breath.
Improvements: Slight better improvement in my skin, not hungry, flu likesymptoms are gone and growling stomach is not as severe--probably because I did a colonic. That sure helped!

NADH: A New Treatment for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

NADH: A New Treatment for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

After a stressful day, a restless night, or strenuous physical activity, you feel exhausted. That's what people who have chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) feel like all of the time. In addition to severe fatigue, sufferers also may have low-grade fever and chills, sore throats and swollen glands, muscle and joint aches, headaches, and the feeling of being in a fog and unable to concentrate or remember. So far, no one knows what causes CFS.

It affects more women than men and may last for a month or for many years. Unfortunately, because it is so little understood, there are very few effective treatments for CFS. Recently, however, a naturally existing component of human cells was found to hold promise for treating CFS symptoms.

NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) helps the body to produce energy. Researchers speculate that in CFS, metabolism dysfunction may deplete energy supplies. Therefore, NADH supplementation could help those who with CFS generate more energy. Unfortunately, very little research has been done so far. In one small study, many participants with CFS reported improvements in their energy levels after taking NADH. Mild side effects included overstimulation, loss of appetite, heartburn, gas, and dry mouth. No serious adverse effects were reported.

Talk with your doctor about all therapies available for CFS. Antidepressants and other psychoactive drugs may be helpful. NADH is seen as a potential complementary therapy to other treatments. Other complementary therapies include herbal medicines, acupuncture, massage, and changes in diet. You might consider eating more meat, fish, or poultry—NADH occurs naturally in those foods. Twenty to 30 minutes of exercise a day at least five days a week has also been shown to help relieve CFS.

Arizona Judge Amendsd Parenting Plan, Orders Vaccinations

For Immediate Release: November 10, 2004 Arizona Judge Amends Parenting Plan, Orders Vaccinations Can a judge be unbiased when forced to rule whether or not his own order caused permanent injury to children? By Don Harkins (Editor - Idaho Observer) In their efforts to protect two children from family court-ordered vaccinations, Janet and John Burton of Tempe, Arizona, find themselves at center stage in a precedent-setting child custody case. At issue is plaintiff/parent Steven Hutchinson seeking a court order awarding him full custody of two children based on the mother’s insistence that they be lawfully exempted from vaccination. This case is exemplary of a national trend where hundreds, possibly thousands of divorced parents are punished by the state because their ex-spouses choose to use the vaccination issue as a means to gain the custodial upper hand. In many cases, as in the Burton case, one parent may be on record as agreeing with the other parent’s non-vaccination position but changes their mind to enlist the court’s help in undermining the other’s access to the children. Arizona District Judge Larry Grant of Maricopa county has ignored the Burton ’s evidence regarding the dangers of vaccines and upheld Hutchinson’s desire that five-year-old Greyson and seven-year-old Gwyneth be vaccinated. Judge Grant further defied Janet’s well-founded concerns by ordering that Hutchinson may determine what vaccines his children will receive and choose the practitioner who will deliver them. Judge Grant’s order was carried out May 12, 2004. The children were, “…physically restrained and forcefully vaccinated by a reckless, unprofessional ‘health practitioner’ who administered to them 21 vaccines in less than an hour. This ‘kiddie cocktail’ of mercury, aluminum, pathogenic viruses and more may have changed the course of my children’s lives forever,” Janet Burton explained. Neither Hutchinson nor Judge Grant are licensed to prescribe medication in Arizona or any other state. However, armed with Judge Grant’s court order, Hutchinson “prescribed” seven shots (DTaP, IPV, MMR, Hib, Hep B, Varicella and PCV—for a total of 21 vaccines) each for his children. According to the Centers for Disease Control and its “catch-up” schedule, Gwyneth and Greyson should not have received the Hib and PCV shots because they were both past the age of five years. The osteopath Hutchinson used (who is licensed to prescribe medicines) administered the contraindicated vaccines per the judge’s order. Arizona VacLib Chapter Director Kim Medlin has conducted further research into the vaccines administered to Gwyneth and Greyson on May 12. Medlin has found that four of them came from what are called “hot lots”—batches of vaccines known to be causing unusually high numbers of adverse reactions. One of the vaccines is known to be contaminated with bovine spongiform encephalitis—also known as “mad cow” disease. The Burtons have noticed that Gwyneth and Greyson’s personalities have changed since the severe assault of 21 vaccines May 12 and that they are both more sickly. Janet believes the court is getting ready to order that her children be subjected to another round of vaccinations. Several qualified physicians have commented that the first round of vaccinations appear to have caused damage to these two children and concur that additional vaccinations at this time would do more harm than good. Since this case was initiated by Hutchinson last March, Janet has forced the court to review much evidence regarding the dangers of vaccines. They have also enlisted the support of Drs. Muhammad Al-Bayati, Russell Blaylock and William Rae. Judge Grant has demonstrated that he has considered the information provided by Janet when stating for the record that he could not support their position because it would be an admission that, by recommending and ordering vaccines as a policy, the state of Arizona has been engaging in child abuse for decades. The evidence supports Janet’s claims that Hutchinson’s actions are purely vindictive and that he is using his children to punish his former wife for divorcing him last year. “This is the same man that just a few years ago sat me down in front of a computer monitor and proceeded to navigate around various websites in an effort to educate me on the hidden truths about all the risks and cover-ups associated with the ‘experimental’ surgical procedure we all loosely refer to today as childhood immunizations. Of course, as informed, responsible co-parents, we jointly agreed not to vaccinate our children. We made this decision and many other decisions such as birthing our children at home, breastfeeding each baby for a full year and a half and following up with a healthy, organic food plan thereafter. We also agreed that no pharmaceutical medications were to be given and, for certain, we would not mindlessly entrust our children to ignorant, drug-pushing doctors. All of these decisions seemed to serve our two children well as they truly epitomized wellness, vitality and brilliance. Both their father and I were proud of the positions we had taken on issues that pertained to our children’s health and well-being and agreed to continue with what had worked (holistic methods of treatment) for our perfect children when we divorced. Together we outlined our beliefs concerning alternative methods of treatment for our children and made this part of our Parenting Plan—which is on file with the courts to this very day,” Janet explained. Among the documents before Judge Grant are reports of increased risk of adverse reactions in children who receive multiple antigens and letters stating that Gwyneth and Greyson are showing signs of vaccine damage. The Burton’s attorney Wallace Nichols is orchestrating a legal strategy intended to spare Gwyneth and Greyson another round of court-ordered vaccinations. In the process of this child custody case being decided by Judge Grant, the court will be forced to consider the validity of state-recommended vaccination schedules against published science and the expert testimony of qualified neuroscientists, pathologists and medical doctors. And, if the Burtons are able to arrange for her children to undergo a full medical and biochemical analysis by Dr. Rae at the Environmental Health Center in Dallas (EHCD), Judge Grant will be forced to consider the possibility that vaccinations he ordered to appease the wishes of a man seeking retribution on his former spouse have caused two innocent children to suffer permanent injury. The move will also force Hutchinson to legally “trump” the Burton’s medical evidence of vaccine damage by entering into the record an expert second opinion contradicting the findings of Dr. Rae’s EHCD. Burton supporters believe Hutchinson will not be able to discredit the pending EHCD report. “I will take this case as far as it will go,” commented Janet who understands the huge implications this case will have in child custody disputes all over the nation. The EHCD and the work of Dr. Rae in the field of environmental toxicology has come highly recommended by Dr. Sherri Tenpenny and others. The cost for the series of tests to be run on both children is estimated at $3,000. Supporters are willing to supply room and board for the Burtons during the four days they will be in Dallas. The Burtons can use our help in this matter as attorney fees and lost wages are causing them to experience a significant degree of financial hardship. Dr. Rae and the staff at EHCD have excellent credentials and utilize state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment and procedures to arrive at scientifically sound conclusions that stand up in court. To find out more about EHCD, the services it offers and references, go to www.ehcd.com Vaccination Liberation, a national grassroots volunteer association, sees the huge implications of this case and has forwarded a $100 donation to the Burtons to help cover the cost of testing. Vaccination Liberation also requests that medical practitioners nationwide match their donation to this worthy cause. For more information, contact Janet Burton at 480-785-4846. The mailing address for donations and correspondence is Wallace R. Nichols, Esq. 15770 N. Greenway-Hayden Loop, Ste. 104, Scottsdale, AZ 85260 Background of case—from Janet Burton Last March, my former husband Steven Hutchinson, the father of Gwyneth and Greyson, hired legal counsel who announced to the court that his client had a recent change of heart regarding the subject of childhood vaccinations. They asked the judicial ‘system’ to assist Hutchinson in carrying out an act of medically-induced child abuse. And so they did. Though we spent nearly $30,000 on legal fees and were able to generate considerable sympathetic local media coverage, Hutchinson prevailed and was given the opportunity to vaccinate the children with the vaccines of his choice by the health care provider of his choice. This decision was based upon what a judge proclaimed to be a ‘Public Policy’ in the state of Arizona to vaccinate all children. The judge also stated that to rule otherwise would be to admit our government has committed child abuse for decades. With a newly-obtained court order in hand and accompanied by three police cars, Hutchinson and a female accomplice whisked Gwyneth and Greyson away from their school and drove them to a nearby emergency health care clinic. Hutchinson tricked my children by telling them they were only going in for their first check up. Once inside, Hutchinson, along with a woman posing as my children’s mother, authorized a health practitioner (D.O.) to administer cocktails of poisons into Greyson and Gwyneth’s lymphatic systems. This ‘cocktail’ included the DTaP, IPV, MMR, Hib, Hep B, Varicella and PCV vaccines and were given to both children within less than an hour. These vaccines were recklessly combined and, adding insult to injury, two of the vaccines were age inappropriate and one vaccine was from a contaminated lot now known to be infected with BSE or mad cow disease. Virtually no consideration was given to our children’s medical family history, which includes a primary family member (half-sister) who suffered from grand mal seizures for four years after being vaccinated with the MMR vaccine. This family history of seizures puts both of my children at a much greater risk of experiencing seizures than the general population. It is beyond most people’s comprehension how a few unqualified and grossly misguided people can persevere legally to have these toxic vaccines (that are non-emergency medicine) forced upon my children - literally gambling with their lives. And for what medical justification? None was provided. Our five-year-old son and nearly seven-year-old daughter are well past the ages of life-threatening consequences from any of the diseases these CDC-recommended vaccines were supposed to ‘protect’ them from. Greyson and Gwyneth had everything to lose by this insane proposition and nothing to gain. Immunizations (an inaccurate term that leads one to believe that these vaccinations do something to safeguard our little ones from contracting ‘scary’ childhood diseases) are just one grand medical experiment. Time and again, vaccinations have been proven by researchers and non-special interest groups to be ineffective in preventing the spread of infectious diseases and unsafe with consequences ranging from minor irritation at the injection site to death. As a mom, I declared to the children’s father and to the presidingjudge that no one was going to subject my children to such a barbaric, unfounded experiment. The judge exercised his authority to rule otherwise and with the slamming of a gavel, he delivered a ruling for which our children would pay dearly. Approximately 48 hours after the hideous vaccination event May 12, 2004, I was finally able to see my children. I was overwhelmed at the sight of my two children completely dazed and suffering adverse effects such as dehydration, lethargy, dry heaves, headaches, burning eyes, sore throats and, of course, aching thighs with ‘battle scars’ from where needles were drug along my son’s tiny legs as he fought to resist the poison that was being forced hypodermically into his body. Four months later, both Greyson and Gwyneth still show obvious signs of being vaccine damaged. Especially tragic for me is what I witness each day in our son, whose overall health and personality has changed dramatically. It is obvious to me that our son Greyson has been neurologically impaired as a result of being over-vaccinated and is in dire need of diagnostic and remedial care. Instead of a ruling in favor of our motion requesting an “Emergency Stay” be put in place to prevent future vaccinations until I had the opportunity to get both children evaluated and treated for injuries from which they are still suffering, I am instead faced with obstacles placed before us by a judicial system that makes it nearly impossible to get my children medical care and, worse still, appears determined to order our children be re-vaccinated. To date, the court is ignoring the pleadings from several medical experts such as Dr. Russell Blaylock, Dr. Mohammed Al-Bayati, Dr. Doris Rapp, Dr. Stuart Lanson and Dr. Rae – all who have testified that the odds of our two children suffering even more devastating consequences from additional vaccinations would be great and certainly a risk not worth taking. Adding to the absurdity of my family’s case, in July 2004, Hutchinson took me to court in an effort to find me in contempt for not allowing our children to leave with him on a cruise ship to some undisclosed destination off the continental U.S. just 72 hours after receiving 21 vaccinations—while both children were still obviously struggling with the physical and emotional aftermath of this traumatic event. The ruling was handed down three months later that I was indeed ruled to be in ‘contempt’ for my decision to follow my heart, good sense, the advise of medical experts and the recommendations of the CDC suggesting that long distance travel is not a prudent choice for at least three weeks following a child being vaccinated. This recent ruling will cost me upwards of $20,000 once all fines and fees have been paid. We are left with no choice but to appeal this decision to the Court of Appeals or higher. My attorney is confident that we will prevail once a reasonable judge who knows and enforces the laws of our state hears this case. The injustices Greyson, Gwyneth, John and I have suffered are beyond anything I could have dreamed of. Now $30,000 later (my initial attorney fees) and six months down the road, the picture I see of the foreseeable future includes courts, attorneys, doctors and a strangely smirking man who used to be my husband; it also includes two children who have been needlessly damaged at the hands of a judge who empowered their reckless, malice-intending father to carry out the heinous act of forcing an overdose of contaminated and dangerous vaccines on our once perfectly healthy and bright children. It is important to understand that our particular case here in Arizona is one of hundreds all over the country. This same plot is playing all over the nation and those who decide to make the informed choice to abstain from vaccination are subject to having their decision challenged in court by a non-custodial parent, legal guardian or a social worker. And, because the court is the state and the state is recommending the vaccines you wish to avoid, it is not difficult to predict which party will prevail in a child custody dispute where unvaccinated children and family court are involved. We are laying a legal foundation that will allow this case to be heard in the Supreme Court of Arizona. If needed, we are prepared to go all the way to D.C. But, more pressing on my heart today is the children’s need for immediate medical attention. Dr. Rae in Dallas, Texas, has agreed to examine and treat both of my children in an effort to help them recover from the damage that has already been caused and to help ward off the potential for future health-related events and consequences. Dr. Rae is one of only three physicians equipped with the diagnostic equipment necessary to accurately assess the extent to which my children’s brains and bodies have been damaged. These vaccine-related injuries prevent Greyson’s pupils from constricting naturally when exposed to light and Gwyneth is beginning to show signs of a learning disability. Both of my children are continually complaining of aches and pains, and sickliness has replaced their previously robust health. If you are passionate about the rights of parents and children to abstain from state sanctioned medical experimentation and are in a position to contribute financially to our family’s case/cause, make your check or money order payable to Wallace R. Nichols. If you prefer your donation be allocated towards the medical expenses involved in my children’s aftercare, please indicate so in the memo area of your check or money order.

From the bottom of our hearts - Greyson, Gwyneth, John and I ... THANK YOU.
In Unity there is Strength, Janet Burton

Migraines in Children?

Migraines in Children?
Provided by: DrWeil.com

Q: My eight-year-old child suffers from variant migraines. To help prevent them I would like to try a natural anti-inflammatory supplement such as Zyflamend, which you have recommended. Is it safe for a child of this age, and if so, what dosage would be appropriate? Or, is an anti-inflammatory diet a better choice? -- Karl J.

A: Variant migraines are not necessarily headaches - although they can be - but they are related, physiologically, to more typical migraines and are set off by the same triggers. Some affect the stomach causing nausea and vomiting; others produce dizziness and vertigo, and some cause confusion, all with or without headache. These migraine variants tend to be brief and are made worse by movement. They're most likely to develop in children with a family history of migraine and may suggest that affected youngsters eventually will develop more typical migraines.
Fortunately, these episodes can be relieved by deep sleep or by medications, but it is important to try to determine what sets off the symptoms so that kids can avoid the triggers. I urge you to track the foods associated with your child's variant migraines. Typically, triggers include aged cheeses and processed meats (including pizza and hot dogs); peanuts; bread and crackers containing cheese; broad beans, peas, and lentils; and beverages containing caffeine and chocolate. Other foods that have been linked to migraines include avocados, bananas, citrus fruits, figs, raisins, red plums, and raspberries. Food additives that may play a role include nitrates and nitrites (in processed meats), yellow food coloring, and monosodium glutamate (MSG) used in some canned or processed foods as well as in Chinese foods and in soy sauce. In addition, watch out for non-food triggers such as stress, fatigue, lack of sleep (or sleeping too much), missing meals, weather-related changes in barometric pressure, and changes in altitude. Strong smells, such as paint, gasoline or heavy perfumes, and bright flashing lights can also trigger migraine symptoms.
Anti-inflammatory drugs are very useful in relieving migraines in children, and I definitely would recommend an anti-inflammatory diet. I suggest trying the diet first and then adding Zyflamend. The proper amount for an eight-year-old child is half the adult dose. You may also introduce your child to mind-body interventions like hypnosis or biofeedback which can be quite beneficial for relief of migraine symptoms.
