Neuro-toxins

[Shasta56]

Last week I had a very vivid dream that included a discussion about the deliberate planting of neuro-toxins in Afghanistan copper mines.  The dream was complete with chunks of copper ore and very graphic images of Afghan miners succumbing to the neuro-toxin.  I recognized the ore, because my retired miner friend has a lot of the stuff.  I also saw uranium ore in the dream, another one that I've actually seen and held.  The neuro-toxin was "salted" into the copper ore, and oxidized once it was brought above ground, where it then aerosolized enough to be inhaled.  Sort of like a very fast-process pneumoconiosis.

It could just be your mind fast forwarding the normal process of the disease.  I think it is common for miners to get pneumoconiosis.

Neurotoxins are of course prime candidates for particularly nasty covert biological operations.  Basically, some neurotoxins are so potent that undetectably small amounts can be biologically potent.

It is unusual for a neurotoxic agent to effect the lungs (as pneumoconiosis does) before central nervous system affects become apparent.

[Shasta56]

It could be that the effects, as a whole, reminded me of the effects of pneumoconiosis.  I wasn't close enough to anyone in the dream to have a stethoscope out listening to lung sounds.  But evident hypoxia, ataxia, and cyanosis all reminded me of pneumoconiosis.  The other interesting feature of the dream, is that it was set in about 1980.  And yes, pneumoconiosis is common among miners, black lung probably being the one most people have heard of.  Nasty stuff.

Aspertame,, a proven neurotoxin, is now a common ingredient in many mainstream commercial baby foods.

I don't touch it, and I study them (neurotoxins not babies).  Take heed.

a short list of some nasties..for anyone who isn't aware of this junk
i'm sure the list is very much longer but looking up any one of these will make ya want to
grown some stuff for yourself

i'm an avid label reader so it always takes me a long time to find a new product

Ten Neurotoxins You Should Avoid

Neurotoxins are substances that interact with nerve cells by overstimulating them to death or interrupting their communication process. This process is harmful to nerve cells because it can fry them or reduce their functions. Studies have shown that neurotoxins can shorten the life span of nerve cells and contribute to neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Huntington's Chorea and Parkinson's.

The availability of neurotoxins have increased dramatically within the last few decades. Many of these neurotoxins are found in the food we eat and water we drink. One of the most widely used neurotoxins is found in many junk food. Even worse, it is found in baby food. If you have a new born or kids, you may want to pay close attention to the ten neurotoxins listed below. Kids are the most vulnerable to neurotoxins because their bodies are still developing. Most food products that contain neurotoxins have them listed on their ingredients list. If you find a food product that contains the neurotoxins listed below, you should avoid consuming it.

Ten neurotoxins to avoid

1.  Aspertame
(also known as Equal, AminoSweet, NutraSweet, Spoonful): Very common in sugar free food products, especially sugar free gums and drinks. Most aspartame is made from the fecal matter of genetically modified bacteria. Studies have linked aspartame to diabetes, migraines, kidney failure, seizures, blindness, obesity, neurological disorders, mental illness and brain tumors.

2.Monosodium glutamate (also known as sodium glutamate, MSG)
Very common in chips, canned food, baby food and other junk food. Independent researchers believe that MSG plays an important role for neurodegenerative brain diseases, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's disease. The evidence supporting their claim is that MSG destroys neurons in cells, especially brain cells.

3.Sucralose (also known as Splenda):
Very popular in sugar free products, especially sugar free drinks. Sucralose was accidentally discovered while doing research to create a new insecticide. In other words, sucralose is similar to insecticides. It is regarded as a chemical cousin to DDT. Sucralose is a chlorinated compound. When the body breaks this type of chlorinated compound, it releases very toxic chemicals.

4.Metallic aluminum:
Common in drinking water, over the counter antacid and vaccine. Aluminum is hard for the body to absorb but citrate or citric acid can dramatically increase its absorption. Vaccine is one of the major contributors to aluminum toxicity because the aluminum is injected directly into the bloodstream.

5.Mercury:
Common in fish product, vaccine and amalgam fillings (also known as silver fillings). Mercury can be found in drinking water too. Mercury is one of the most toxic neurotoxins because it easily destroys brain tissue. For an excellent short video showing how mercury destroys brain tissue, please read How Mercury Destroys the Brain.

6.Fluoride:
Very common in drinking water and toothpaste. Fluoride was used to kill rats before it was introduced into consumer products. The fluoride used for consumer products is a mixture of many hazardous chemicals. This is why there are warning labels on fluoridated toothpaste. For proof that fluoride is a hazardous toxin please read this article.

7.Hydrolyzed vegetable protein:
Very common in certain junk food. Hydrolyzed vegetable protein contains high concentration of glutamate and aspartate. In high levels, glutamate and aspartate can stimulate nerve cells to death.

8.Calcium caseinate:
Popular in protein supplement, energy bar and junk food. It is harmful to the brain.

9.Sodium caseinate:
Common in dairy product and junk food. Please visit this site for more specific information about sodium and calcium caseinate.

10.Yeast extract:
Popular in many processed food, such as canned food. It is toxic to the brain.

Babies are more fun than neurotoxins.  Babies can be handed back to their parents.

Aspartame is especially bad for anyone with phenylketonuria.  That particular warning is required on cans of diet soda.

MSG is well known for causing migraines.

Something I've been wondering about:  why do miners with pneumoconiosis also develop type II diabetes and bladder cancer?  I keep seeing this combination, so, there's a connection.  Is it a chemical exposure in the mining ondustry causing it?

Shasta

[Pimander]

I'm not sure.  I know that high insulin and diabetes are linked to increased cancer risk though.  I guess swallowing a lot of dust (in mucus from the lungs) might also effect the bladder.

my totally unscientific form of health and/or healing is that all organs that are filters need to be cleaned and kept cleaned to prevent disease

takes a bit of knowledge on what parts do what
but think about it

[Shasta56]

That's another reason to not eat liver or kidneys.  Some people like that stuff.  They are more than welcome to my share.
