VACCINE-AUTISM LINK FEARED

A stunning increase in the number of children

diagnosed with autism has schools straining to

provide services and health officials urgently

seeking answers. And the increases are fueling

a grass-roots movement of parents determined

to expose what they believe is a connection

between autism and vaccines. Autism, a

developmental disability that usually appears

before a child's third birthday, profoundly

affects communication and social skills,

impairing the child's ability to play, speak and

relate to the world. The U.S. Department of

Education reports a 173% increase in autistic

children served under the Individuals With

Disabilities

Education Act between the 1992-93 school year, when 15,580 children

were

counted, and 1997-98,

when the figure was 42,500.

I'll bet that they will notice the same rise in ADD and ADHD if they

were questioned about it, as there appears to be a link with some food

ingredients with these diseases (or shall we say unintentional (?)

poisonings)

Whoever posted the information on Feingold Association site, thank you.

This may be another link in the chain which composes the problem. Its

amazing how many of these comounds appears to be petroleum based.

Hmmmm.

Dear luck,

There are many things that can cause hypoxia, which is

oxygen deprivation at the cellular level.

Among them are :

1) buildup of toxins

2) lack of calcium

3) lack of B vitamins

4) rouleaux (pile-of-coins) of the red blood cells

5) radiation

6) carbon monoxide

7) amyl nitrate (poppers)

8) any of the thousands of so-called 'carcinogenic substances'

Best of Health!

And, other habits add to the list:

9) Eating a high protein diet

10) sugar

11) alcohol

12) tobacco

13) caffeine

14) lack of regular exercise

I just woke up. Can't think of more right now but something will occur

to me as soon as I send this. ;-)

Jim,

How, exactly does a high protein diet cause hypoxia?

[Guest guest]

The by-product of protein metabolism is either lactic or uric acid. I

forget which. Anyway, it makes the body too acid, and when the Ph of

blood is low it cannot carry oxygen efficiently, beginning the process

that leads to fermentation, which produces carbon monoxide, which then

replaces iron in hemoglobin so it can't carry oxygen. Then, the body

makes more hemoglobin, which thickens the blood so it can't get into

micro-capillaries.

End result, hypoxia.

Jim,

I must disagree with you because of my personal experiences. And lactic

acid is a by product of the body burning carbs for fuel, not protein! I

know for a fact you can live a healthy long life without carbs but if

you take away protein and proper fat you will die soon.

> forget which. Anyway, it makes the body too acid,

All foods are metabolized into acids. Here is a recent post I made to

another group about this issue of acidity vs alkalinity:

Some basics:

All foods that we eat are made up of proteins, carbohydrates, or fats. When

these are metabolized, they will produce organic or inorganic acids.

Protein, for instance, (such as is found in meats, nuts and legumes)

produces sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid. Carbohydrates and fats produce

acetic acid and lactic acid. These acids are all poisonous, and have to be

eliminated from the body as quickly as possible. However, to do that safely,

our smartly designed bodies know that they have to neutralize these acids

first. That is accomplished with mineral compounds.

The mineral compounds which neutralize acids are called carbonic salts,

which contain one of these four elements: Sodium, Calcium, Potassium or

Magnesium.

When carbonic salts meet up with any of the strong acids mentioned above

(sulfuric acid, phophoric acid, lactic acid, acetic acid), the alkaline

minerals in the carbonic salt leave the salt and combine with the acids to

make neutral salts.

The end result of this change from acid to neutral salt is to REDUCE the

concentration of alkaline elements in the blood and also in the

extracellular fluid. It is this lowered concentration of alkaline elements

which is referred to as the acidic condition of the body. Think of these

alkaline minerals in your body as your deposits in a bank account. When you

eat highly acid producing foods (such as meats, fish, sugar and all

processed and fatty foods), you are making huge withdrawals. You will need

to make more deposits. But if you don't make any withdrawals at all (by not

eating those acid forming foods), you will be wealthy (healthy!) indeed!

To maintain our alkaline levels and thus, our healthy state, we must

resupply the lost alkaline elements through the food we eat. Those

necessary organic minerals (sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium) are

found abundantly in fruits and vegetables. Fruits and veggies are our best

friends.

The determination of whether a food is acid forming or alkaline forming IN

THE BODY is a function of the proportion of acid and alkaline forming

elements it contains. This is determined by a process called titration.

Basically, the food to be measured is burned to ashes. This step takes the

place of digestion in the laboratory.

Next, a solution of the ashes is made with a standard amount of pure water.

This solution is tested to see whether it is acid or alkaline, and then

measurements are obtained to determine the strength of the acidity or

alkalinity. Because an acid solution will neutralize an alkaline solution

and vice versa, we can use a solution of known strength to the unknown

solution until the two cancel each other out. By keeping track of the

amount of alkaline or acid solution necessary to reach neutral, we can

determine the strength of the acidity or alkalinity of any substance.

So we can determine with confidence what foods are alkaline producing, and

which ones are acid producing IN THE BODY, after digestion. Fruits and

vegetables, while they may be " acidic " on the outside of the body, actually

make very little withdrawals of the alkalizing minerals once inside the

body, leaving our bank account intact. That is because they already contain

a good supply of the alkalizing minerals themselves.

dick, i must say that my body speaks to me in similar was as yours. we should

exchange meat recipes some time. i find goat milk to very very healing. never

thought about ozonated milk. how do you do that? and jim, is mucous bad? i

know a man who recovered from a massive heart attack eating no carbs at all.

strictly meat and fat. as dr. Newbold used to say to me whenever someone

would claim to have the ultimate formula for health, ask them if they can

build a human from scratch. if they could then, follow their advice,

otherwise follow your own body's advice.

is ph the answer? is raw the answer? is living without fear the answer? is

hyberbaric oxygen the answer? my friend the vegetarian healer keeps getting

recurrent yeast problems. he won't tell anyone that he goes back to this one

practitioner to get straightened out all the time. the best colon therapist i

know has just added beef back into her diet, she was simply getting too weak

from all the cleansing. god bless her that she had the sense not to be too

proud. when i go with raw foods, my body simply will not allow me to

detoxify. i get terribly weak, and depressed. eating meat allows me to slowly

clear away the impacted matter from my colon. actually, it wasnt until i

started eating meat regularly that i started to pass old hard stuff from the

colon. if you have a lipophilic pathogen in your body, then eating fats is a

must. i have to say honestly that i've never met a healthy vegetarian. sooner

or later they get b12 deficient. i remain hopeful to meet a healthy

vegetarian someday.

[Guest guest]

Charlie,

Disagree if you must.

If you will refer to my post I did not say lactic acid was a byproduct

of protein metabolism. I said either uric or lactic acid, I can't

remember which, is. So, then if not lactic, it is uric acid that builds

up from overconsumption of protein, and what I said still goes! The name

of the acid is not the point. BTW, apple cider vinegar & honey will get

the acid out over time. Bragg puts out a booklet on apple cider &

vinegar that tells it all.

For a simple rule of thumb, a truly healthy diet is approximately 65-70%

raw vegetables plus most any other food that is fairly decent.

Unfortunately, most Americans eat more like 65-70% protein, most of

which is meat, and that will make too much acid for the body to get rid

of. So, it crystalizes in the bloodstream & clogs capillaries. Breaking

up those crystals is what causes pain when someone massages your toes.

This is true regardless of your experiences. This is acupressure 101 &

is thousands of years old. Rub your toes on the joints & in the

crevices. Wherever it hurts you have acid crystal buildup.

In the approximately 25 years I have been practicing acupressure, I have

always followed this principle: When any other source disagrees with

acupuncture theory, they are wrong. Using this paradigm, I have have

improved every condition I have encountered. When I disagree with an

allopath's diagnosis I send the person to an allopath that also

understands acupuncture theory. My diagnosis has been upheld every time.

This does not exalt me, it merely proves Chinese medicine! I didn't

invent this stuff. I am just an advanced student.

And, no, you cannot live a long healthy life without carbs! Complex

carbohydrates like raw veggies are what we are designed to eat in the

main. If you don't eat carbs you won't get green leafy vegetables, or

red ones or yellow or..... Of course we need proteins and fats too! We

can and should get most of them from vegetables, but meat in moderation

for people with meat-eating metabolisms is OK. If you can get your hands

on a copy of Dr. 's metabolic self-test you can find out which type

you are. He had ten types, but basically 3 types with subsets, plus

omnivores.

As to protein & fat sources, the fact that settled the argument for me

about whether or not we are supposed to eat animal products is this:

When we take in something alien the body doesn't want, it gets covered

with mucous, and all animal products are mucous forming. Petty simple,

huh? Our bodies actually talk to us if we speak the language. ;-)

Patty,

That is the most lucid explanation I have heard on the subject! Bravo!

As you will notice from my post I have a basic understanding, but the

thrust of my study in this regard was not about what exactly it was that

made the acid condition, rather what to do about it. After reading your

post I believe I now understand the details a lot better. Thanks!

I always say live and let live. If the way you eat works for you, fantastic,

all blessings. To say the above is like saying all who eat meat will one day

get gout. I would gladly met you so you can meet a healthy VEGAN someday. I

am sure there are some where you live too, just ask around.

I would have to say that 80% of my diet is and always was meat. Always

hated any type of candy, snacks, et all. Potatoes is probably my largest source

of carbs, and the remaining 5% being vegetables. Fruit was always an annoyance

to me. Bread and pasta sucks. When my wife buys breaded fish, I always have to

scrape the batter mix off of it before I cook it just so I don't get those damn

carbs. They

just feel unhealthy to me. Then after I have my meat, there is nothing more

satisfying than

a cold glass of ozonated milk. Like you say, the body speaks.......

no, to say what i said is to say what i have said, nothing more and nothing

less. i was mainly responding to jim's comment about formulaic approaches to

nutrition. and yes, i am very interested in meeting a healthy vegan or

vegetarian. i don't know what the vegan guidelines are exactly. besides the

b12 issue i raised ( and i know about the supposed ability to produce b12

from flora in the gut), the other issue was one i heard from my practitioner

-- that the liver needs a certain amount of animal protein to stay strong.

[Guest guest]

It is fine, very normal and it's actually darn good that it is

happening. This color is the result of your liver detoxing. It is

commonly thought that you are turning into a carrot from them

beta-carotene. Not so! It will pass soon.

Beta carotene is an excellent source for vitamin A. Why would you change

from it unless you are distressed by the skin colour.

As for your kidneys, I don't have your original post, so...

I hope you do....it is a synopsis of what I read in a book called Acid &

Alkaline by Herman Aihara (but the bank account idea was my interpretation),

so if you see flaws, you'll be challenging Mr. Aihara, and I'd like to hear

about it.

Debbie,

Didn't you say that you were having liver problems awhile back? I'd be

a little concerned if it persists and I wouldn't trust online diagnoses

help that this is normal given your situation.

jaundice:

jaundice (jôn´dís), abnormal condition in which body fluids and

tissues,

particularly the skin and eyes, take on a yellowish color as a result of

excess bilirubin, a substance normally removed from the bloodstream by

the

LIVER and eliminated from the body in BILE. Causes include excessive

disintegration of red blood cells (as in some types of ANEMIA); damage

to

liver cells by disease (e.g., CIRRHOSIS, HEPATITIS); and bile duct

blockage

(e.g., by gallstones or tumors). Jaundice in the newborn may indicate an

RH

FACTOR reaction.

This can only be true for a meat-eater metabolism. Genetic make-ups from

more equatorial regions tend to be vegetarian. Cultures from more

northern climates, where food doesn't grow in the wintertime, have to

depend on meat, and their genetic structure has adapted to that.

Since man has spread different genes all over the world in the last few

hundred years, there is no telling what metabolism one has without

taking a test to determine that. The diet I mentioned is the only one

that works for all matabolism types.

Another thing to consider about people who crave so much meat is that it

could be a signal that the body has switched from metabolism to

catabolism. When that happens the body breaks down muscle protein to get

needed amino acids not in the diet, hence the craving. This is why

someone recovering from a heart attack would do well on a meat diet.

They are rebuilding heart muscle.

I just do the same procedure as water, only at a lower

flow rate because of the foaming. The ozone seems to be

either more absorbed or destroyed in milk because I

don't detect much ozone smell when doing this when

compared to ozoning water. Either way, it just tastes

much better to me and I have no doubt it is purer.

[Guest guest]

Someone wrote back to my reply below stating that I was wrong about what

I said below. The yellow color was bilirubin and it speaks of a

condition of poor or no mineral absorption. (I deleted the original

email off my laptop). While this astute person is right in what is going

on, I am not wrong. My sources are Drs. and Airola. If your

liver is abnormal, you will get the jaundice until you detoxify and your

acid/alkaline balance swings to the alkaline. In the RBTI theory, one

cannot absorb any minerals until one's urinary pH is 6.4. At the 6.4-6.4

range, one can absorb iodine. Iodine is the gateway mineral for the

absorption of all others.

Saul, I believe, pointed out that with cancer one cannot assimilate or

use beta-carotene. (Sorry, my emails are on the desktop, so I cannot

quote exactly). I did not know this. Evenso, there are other markers

and signs for cancer. I would still not worry about the jaundice unless

it persists.

: according to Cheney, tissue acidosis leads to blood alkalosis in

which case your blood O2 (oxygen) levels may be fine, but the blood is

not releasing from the hemoglobin and getting into the tissues where it

is needed. The body's response to this is shallow breathing to boost

the blood C02 level and thereby force the O2 off the hemoglobin (at

least I think that's how it works). I believe that this is what

happened to me this past summer along with cardiac type symptoms. The

way that I experienced it was that my breathing would get very shallow

despite that I felt starved for air. If I breathed deeper I felt even

worse and it was just physically difficult to do. I also felt

incredibly weak and like if I moved hardly at all, I would use too many

resources and have even more of a crisis. In other words, my body told

me to stay very still and breathe very shallow. Rumor has it that if it

gets bad enough your brain can shut down the breathing altogether.

Again according to Cheney, this is ultimately a symptom of Gutathione

deficiency. So, if you fit into this camp, whey protien along with

magnesium and selenium would be a really good idea. I began on

Immunepro and magnesium sulfate shots as soon as possible. Magnesium is

necessary for the synthesis of glutathione from the necessary components

in the whey, and also may help O2 release ot from hemoglobin? Orally

magnesium gycinate is most recommended on this list and my doctor always

says it's ok to take it to bowel tolerance.

I also used the rebreather mask which I feel really saved me. In

this treatment you rebreathe some of your expired C02 back in with

oxygen from a tank using a mask with a bag attatched. This was another

Cheney treatment which many have responded well to. I responded to the

rebreather therapy rapidly, and it stabilized me, but within a week or

so, It didn't seem to do anything good or bad. But, I remained stable

with gradually diminishing symptoms until now I basically never have any

of them (this crisis was in july) I kept the tanks around for 2 months

for peace of mind. Apparently, Cheney no longer recommends the

rebreather therapy in favor of breathing exercises on Wiels CD

(Breathing?)

I couldn't tell you anything about any other kind of shortness of

breath.
