Lack of speech linked to lack of acetylcholine?

[Guest guest]

I think I've posted this before. Here's a study about a man whose speech

and swallowing was affected by botulism. Botulism blocks acetylcholine.

Have a look at the side effects of lack of acetylcholine does:

<<alteration in mobility, tonicity and sensibility of the organs of the

Orofacial Myofunctional System (OMSs); reduction of the laryngeal

movements; stasis of saliva in the oral cavity; absence of the

swallowing reflex; absence of the swallowing function.>>

Does this sound like your child?

Here's the study:

Two things come to mind about acetylcholine.

1. In this study obviously acetylcholine was blocked by the toxin

botulism. This is a clostridia species.....

2. In others with speech & swallowing difficulties, if it is indeed due

to lack of ACh, then it could be sulfite build-up which is preventing

manufacture of ACh. This goes back to the 4 heavy metals (lead arsenic,

cadmium and mercury) preventing the conversion of sulfite to sulfate.

too much sulfite will cut aport the thiamine molecule which is need for

the ACh

Plan of action:

Start with the lead because there's something gentle and sensible one

can do to remove and prevent re-accumulation:

1. The best tolerated Vitamin c 4 times a day

2.Citrus pectin (has a good history of removing metals from the

environment as well as bodies)

3. Thiamine-small doses throughout the day

4. Pre-germinated brown rice.....buy from a website or as one person in

Swansea is experimenting with it, sprout brown

in a warm place in front of your sunny window (Good luck!)

For more ideas (ie bacopa, wormwood, fibre etc.) and studies backing up

the above, see the file I uploaded titled: Nutrition and lead.
