Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 I have emailed Dr Natasha -McBride (supporter of both SCD and Body Ecology Diet..does NOT believe GFCF is enough!!!..she herself is a neurologist in the UK and does a great video interview along with Donna Gates (Body Ecology Diet). She wrote that she strongly recommends fermented foods, protein, vegetables, rich in healthy fats, ZERO fruits and NO GRAINS. I am trying to get prepared to begin the Body Ecology Diet here in my home. What is very crucial to realize to me is her statement that children with epilepsy (or abnormal EEG's such as my own son) need a diet that is more than GFCF and that it is not enough for children in this category especially. " Could your hypothesis indicate that there can be a difference in the response of MB12 given to a child with an ongoing and severe fungalproblem than to a child with fungus under control? " Now THIS is a crucial statement. My son was on MB12 shots for five months and had a high yeast count. He did not respond to MB12. When I get the yeast under control I STRONGLY WONDER whether his response might be positive in nature!!!!

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 I could be wrong on this, but I suspect that folks with fungal issues are more likely to respond to MB12. I believe the fungus kills off essential bacteria needed to get MB12 into the body. Once the fungus is in order, there should be a better chance for the good bacteria to grow back (depending on the diet). Typically the better the gut is, the less MB12 you'll need. That's been my experience. - Stan > > > > Interesting and frightening information. > > > > Have you talked to Dr. Natasha -McBride? > > She has written a great book " Gut and Psychology Syndrome " and > in this article she has written interesting info about Dermorphin & > Deltorphin and > > Acetaldehyde & Alcohol, that Yeasts ferment dietary > carbohydrates with production of alcohol and its by-product > acetaldehyde.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 I think we are overlooking the toxins that the fungus create and how they get stuck in fatty tissue and after a time they chronically just leak out and enter the blood stream... or more likely they are stuck in the brain and constantly product toxins that have a phychotropic effect and provide an altered state in these kids. The MB12 interferes with this process for the most part, but I also think systemically it helps to methylate it out of the fat and that mobilization may cause a temporary increase in the altered effect. I do have two other instances documented as well. Both adults. What scares me is if we are properly treating a possible brain fungal infection. I'm not sure we have the tools at this point. It's one of the reasons that I prefer Valtrex over Acyclovir and that we use strong antifungal meds at the same time. It's very possible that Valtrex also helps to get the fungal toxins out of the body by activation of enzyme activity. These rashes could easily be oily fungal toxins being mobilized. - Stan > > Interesting and frightening information. > > Have you talked to Dr. Natasha -McBride? > She has written a great book " Gut and Psychology Syndrome " and in this article she has written interesting info about Dermorphin & Deltorphin and > Acetaldehyde & Alcohol, that Yeasts ferment dietary carbohydrates with production of alcohol and its by-product acetaldehyde.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 To my knowledge no one has done a biopsy... of the brain... while the kids are alive.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 And then there is our belief that fungus attracts viral infection... and it just keeps supporting the combination of antivirals and antifungals used together... and now the additonal supplementation of supplements that seem to help remove fungal toxins like Niacin (tid), L-Carnatine (tid), St. s Wart, cod liver oil, vitamin C and Epsom Salt baths. > > > > > > > > > > Interesting and frightening information. > > > > > > > > > > Have you talked to Dr. Natasha -McBride? > > > > > She has written a great book " Gut and Psychology Syndrome " and > > > in this article she has > > > > written interesting info about Dermorphin & Deltorphin and > > > > > Acetaldehyde & Alcohol, that Yeasts ferment dietary > > > carbohydrates with production of > > > > alcohol and its by-product acetaldehyde.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 That's about right. The white matter does not refer to the fungus. But the white matter is inflamed in my opinion. Inflamation that may be caused by fungus growing on it (and of course the alternate theroy that a virus is involved and the second alternate that it's metals). My vote is on fungus and/or viral ediology and if I had to pick one I'm leaning towards fungus these days. - Stan > > > > Has the abnormal white matter been tested..is it brain matter or some > > other matter...fungal...?

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 So, given that much information, let me criticize some of the ideas presented in the video (but only just a little). Sure - people have been getting high on fungal products for centuries. But - what I saw in the video bears just about zero resemblance to what I've seen in people trying to function through a load of mycotoxins (and other toxins). For many of us, the result is what you probably call Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Fibromylagia - and in those communities, it's usually just called "brain fog". Let's start right about the point where "toxin" and "intoxication" are two forms of the same root word. As a general rule, mycotoxins are not any fun at all, and that's an understatement! Alcohol is a socially enjoyable neurotoxin, for some people. What we find in our usual environment is anything BUT enjoyable, and I wouldn't compare it to hallucinogens at all - even though it definitely causes some cognitive impairments. Are the kids tripping? Are the kids drunk? Well, probably only in the sense that they are intoxicated. Over time, living with this and through my contact with many dozens of others who have no defense against these toxins - most of them adults - I couldn't help but notice the intoxicant effects, and it has often reminded me of people who are very, very drunk. (And they do not always take kindly to my blunt way of describing this - believe me!) Their sense of balance is often shot. Their eyes often don't track well. They develop speech problems and loss of motor control. Sensory input becomes overly stimulating and downright painful. Emotional outbursts can become a problem. Many choose social isolation to cope with it, others get isolated because their physical condition (and sometimes their behavior) forces them into it. Some give up and commit suicide. Many others turn to antidepressants in an effort to relieve the problems. I have, at the worst of it, not been able to read or write, to put a sentence together, or remember how telephones work. But - I couldn't help but notice some more subtle effects. And then I heard of grown men being diagnosed with Asberger's that never existing before. And I started hearing of mold victims who have the autism-spectrum kids. The numbers alone dictate that that would happen eventually, but I had to keep wondering. (The questions still far outweight the answers.) Some of the doctors working on the chronic neurotoxin problems have been encountering kids with learning disabilities and behavior problems for quite a while now. Their thinking has colored mine - in that this thing presents itself differently in children than in adults, but with some really common features. I'm not entirely sure how the kid who "blinks out" at 18 months is like the kid who suddenly goes wild at 10. Without the testing, it's impossible to say. I will only put forth that the testing for this already exists. I know that it's been used with the older kids with success. If you'll indulge me one more time, I'll add a 3rd post on some of the mechanics of the thing I've learned more recently, and you can see how those ideas sit with you. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Hi Serena, I've been away for a little while, so I haven't read your previous posts, but I did take the few minutes to read the last two and... A. I don't see a real criticsm of the video in there. If you are going to criticize... dig in girl! B. If you do criticize, let me hear your belief of what is going on with Eddie or our kids... not just that there are thousands of fungus we don't know about. Tell us something that you feel might apply to our kids and why you feel the hypothesis of a fungus on the brain could be causing a large portion of the symtoms in ASD. - Stan > > So, given that much information, let me criticize some of the ideas presented in the video (but only just a little).

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 So - the mechanics of this thing. Just the effects on the rest of the body are way too complex to get into here. You can always read up if you're interested. Suffice to say that neurotoxins leave no body system untouched. But I've been more interested in the brain lately. The ideas about hypoperfusion are just as prevalent with mold victims as mentioned in the video concerning ASD. I recently got a set of SPECT scans done, and was told they are consistent with toxic brain injuries. (I have no idea what a scan of an ASD kid should look like, but I have to wonder. I anybody wants to swap scans and get a look, just email me.) The result was that I got to look at how large and spread out those hyperperfused areas really are. The amount of weird phenomena and dysfunctions that could strike within a single population of affected people is just amazing - and now I can see why. We have no way of predicting which messages and functions will go wrong at which time. One thing surpised me, and that was that the doctor wanted to talk about autism. I assumed it was because of the toxic connection. But then, I was surprised even more when he started talking to me about ADD. ADD? I never had a problem like that in my life before! But - it wasn't represented as an area of hypoperfusion. It was represented as an area of hyperactivity. As was another area - and that's when he started talking about skotopic sensitivity. He explained this to me as a brain dysfunction, rather than an eye problem. I wasn't able to process certain light spectra properly. My visual perception was fouled up, and in the end translated into a level of irritability and sensistivity that would have been difficult to understand, if I hadn't seen a demonstration and visited an Irlen Diagnostician to see what can be done with those colored lenses. Again, I was dealing with someone who most often deals with ASD and learning disabilities. When I saw Stan's new video, my first thought went to what might have been happening to that guy's brain on MB12. Some of what he reported and what was observed matched what I reported and what was observed when the skotopic sensitivity was fixed - and results were instant. The pitch and volume of my voice came down (I was told), I began to smile "all over" at the sense of sudden relief and comfort, and I was raptly looking at things - because they looked so very different when I could see them clearly. I had been struggling with word searches and trying to avoid stammering just a minute earlier, but not now. I walked right out into a sunlit day without inwardly flinching at the bright light and was entranced at seeing all the pretty colors. Believe me - If I was high, I was on a total natch. That was an "ahhh" factor that would make anybody smile. Can MB12 actually do this for some people? I can't answer that. It doesn't work that way for me, but I think it's probably a good question. I'm sure the Pharmacologist has a much better shot at figuring that one out than I do. Kids who repeat actions again and again? And they get annoyed when you interrupt the activity? Does this bear a resemblance to the toxic adults I know who practice their own versions of this in order to block out painful stimuli and distraction? (Simple repetitive video games are a big draw with the adults.) Do the kids instinctively block everyone out because they are seeking some level of comfort? I sure know a lot of toxic adults who isolate socially and demand rigid order in their surroundings in order to cope. Fighting through the cognitive problems is hard enough when things are calm and controlled. Just add people and sound and movement, and the world turns into an undecipherable jumble. When the doc mentioned ASD kids having to have the tags cut out of their clothing, I laughed outright. I've been meticulously doing that since my last acute exposure to mycotoxins. When the guy in the video was made so uncomfortable by the extended hand? Yeah - seemed like a normal thing to you, but I know about times when it would have had me jumping right out of my chair. Devil's, hands, ostrich feathers - it wouldn't matter. It's the hypersensitivity that does it. When you're sick enough, a brick wall and baby's breath might as well be the same thing. It's scary when the world moves so much faster than your senses can process it. Are the kids shutting it out because they can't stand it, either? It's not crazy, and it's not unexplainable. It's intoxication - if it's tripping, it's a bad trip. I was excited by all the possibilities in what I saw and heard. The doctors I saw were excited about it, too. This was a great opportunity to kind of cross-discipline a little. I can't state what the clear differences are between ASD in a child and toxic encephalopathy in an adult, except that they are children and we adults have more experiences and information to use as coping tools. Perhaps it's because the kids have more heavy metals problems than many of the adults. I can ask questions all day that I can't exactly answer. All I will suggest is that if you would like to know more about chronic neurotoxins other than metals, use the following links. You'll get a whole new level of understanding that goes far, far beyond yeast alone, and the book is well worth the read. (You'll find out they've been wondering about your kids, too.) Meanwhile, I'm going to go back to lurking and seeing what else I can learn from you guys. So far, it's served me very well and I thank you! http://www.moldwarriors.com http://chronicneurotoxins.com Serena Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo! Mail beta.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 I would add to this list of antifungal supplements; biotin, molybdenum, pantothenic acid and beta carotenes for kids who can take beta carotene. We use a product called Neutrophil Plus from Biotics Research that shores up the immune system and creates the neutrophils needed to combat the yeast. Mercury lowers neutrophils. Others have noted that it helps combat yeast. Re: SV: Are our kids tripping? And then there is our belief that fungus attracts viral infection... and it just keeps supporting the combination of antivirals and antifungals used together... and now the additonal supplementation of supplements that seem to help remove fungal toxins like Niacin (tid), L-Carnatine (tid), St. s Wart, cod liver oil, vitamin C and Epsom Salt baths. > > > > > > > > > > Interesting and frightening information. > > > > > > > > > > Have you talked to Dr. Natasha -McBride? > > > > > She has written a great book " Gut and Psychology Syndrome " and > > > in this article she has > > > > written interesting info about Dermorphin & Deltorphin and > > > > > Acetaldehyde & Alcohol, that Yeasts ferment dietary > > > carbohydrates with production of > > > > alcohol and its by-product acetaldehyde.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 So, does the metal/virus assault create this fungus which then releases toxins to the brain thus creating an altered state? Stan Kurtz wrote: That's about right. The white matter does not refer to the fungus. But the white matter is inflamed in my opinion. Inflamation that may be caused by fungus growing on it (and of course the alternate theroy that a virus is involved and the second alternate that it's metals).

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Serena, Fascinating! Mold is a huge issue with my son as well as myself. This year was particularly bad, I had many symptoms. What did they do to “fix” the skotopic sensitivities? I researched mold toxicity and it is very similar to the physical symptoms of Autism. The diets they recommend are the same as diets that seem to help with yeast. But I have found it is almost impossible to remove mold entirely from your environment and continued exposure is inevitable. Thanks for your post. - PS. Do you know if you can get this book at Border’s or somewhere other than online? From: mb12 valtrex [mailto:mb12 valtrex ] On Behalf Of SERENA EDWARDS Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2006 2:55 AM To: mb12 valtrex Subject: Re: SV: Are our kids tripping? So - the mechanics of this thing. Just the effects on the rest of the body are way too complex to get into here. You can always read up if you're interested. Suffice to say that neurotoxins leave no body system untouched. But I've been more interested in the brain lately. The ideas about hypoperfusion are just as prevalent with mold victims as mentioned in the video concerning ASD. I recently got a set of SPECT scans done, and was told they are consistent with toxic brain injuries. (I have no idea what a scan of an ASD kid should look like, but I have to wonder. I anybody wants to swap scans and get a look, just email me.) The result was that I got to look at how large and spread out those hyperperfused areas really are. The amount of weird phenomena and dysfunctions that could strike within a single population of affected people is just amazing - and now I can see why. We have no way of predicting which messages and functions will go wrong at which time. One thing surpised me, and that was that the doctor wanted to talk about autism. I assumed it was because of the toxic connection. But then, I was surprised even more when he started talking to me about ADD. ADD? I never had a problem like that in my life before! But - it wasn't represented as an area of hypoperfusion. It was represented as an area of hyperactivity. As was another area - and that's when he started talking about skotopic sensitivity. He explained this to me as a brain dysfunction, rather than an eye problem. I wasn't able to process certain light spectra properly. My visual perception was fouled up, and in the end translated into a level of irritability and sensistivity that would have been difficult to understand, if I hadn't seen a demonstration and visited an Irlen Diagnostician to see what can be done with those colored lenses. Again, I was dealing with someone who most often deals with ASD and learning disabilities. When I saw Stan's new video, my first thought went to what might have been happening to that guy's brain on MB12. Some of what he reported and what was observed matched what I reported and what was observed when the skotopic sensitivity was fixed - and results were instant. The pitch and volume of my voice came down (I was told), I began to smile " all over " at the sense of sudden relief and comfort, and I was raptly looking at things - because they looked so very different when I could see them clearly. I had been struggling with word searches and trying to avoid stammering just a minute earlier, but not now. I walked right out into a sunlit day without inwardly flinching at the bright light and was entranced at seeing all the pretty colors. Believe me - If I was high, I was on a total natch. That was an " ahhh " factor that would make anybody smile. Can MB12 actually do this for some people? I can't answer that. It doesn't work that way for me, but I think it's probably a good question. I'm sure the Pharmacologist has a much better shot at figuring that one out than I do. Kids who repeat actions again and again? And they get annoyed when you interrupt the activity? Does this bear a resemblance to the toxic adults I know who practice their own versions of this in order to block out painful stimuli and distraction? (Simple repetitive video games are a big draw with the adults.) Do the kids instinctively block everyone out because they are seeking some level of comfort? I sure know a lot of toxic adults who isolate socially and demand rigid order in their surroundings in order to cope. Fighting through the cognitive problems is hard enough when things are calm and controlled. Just add people and sound and movement, and the world turns into an undecipherable jumble. When the doc mentioned ASD kids having to have the tags cut out of their clothing, I laughed outright. I've been meticulously doing that since my last acute exposure to mycotoxins.

Devil's, hands, ostrich feathers - it wouldn't matter. It's the hypersensitivity that does it. When you're sick enough, a brick wall and baby's breath might as well be the same thing. It's scary when the world moves so much faster than your senses can process it. Are the kids shutting it out because they can't stand it, either? It's not crazy, and it's not unexplainable. It's intoxication - if it's tripping, it's a bad trip. I was excited by all the possibilities in what I saw and heard. The doctors I saw were excited about it, too. This was a great opportunity to kind of cross-discipline a little. I can't state what the clear differences are between ASD in a child and toxic encephalopathy in an adult, except that they are children and we adults have more experiences and information to use as coping tools. Perhaps it's because the kids have more heavy metals problems than many of the adults. I can ask questions all day that I can't exactly answer. All I will suggest is that if you would like to know more about chronic neurotoxins other than metals, use the following links. You'll get a whole new level of understanding that goes far, far beyond yeast alone, and the book is well worth the read. (You'll find out they've been wondering about your kids, too.)

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Hi Serena, Hmm, you didn't take my bait. Kind of a " take the high road " kind of gal. I do have some spect scan examples from Dr. Uzsler (spelling) at UCLA. They are at my uncles right now, but if you look at his website I think he has it there as well. www.drspectscan.com And you may also want to look at my MB12 video that shows normalization of brain of QEEG brain activity in an adult with ADD through an MB12 application. The video is on www.recoveryvideos.com I suspect MB12 actually helps improve blood flow as well, and I suspect that hyperbarics would improve QEEG imaging. I need to work on a couple trials to see for sure. I, and I believe many of us, agree with much of what you wrote. For just getting started there are a lot of solid observations in there. Autism has a significant toxicity element to it. All the kids are. Where is ground zero? Many have ideas, and I suspect it's different for each person, like an abstract painting with all the colors representing a toxin. The more we learn about the toxins in our kids, the more we learn about our most chronic illness... as I've learned. Just about all of the strategies we talk about here when used on children (and adults) with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, asthma, headaches, speech delay, excema etc... seem to work wonders. I think it's one of the most important finds this century... if not maybe the last couple decades, but I'm a bit biased I guess. Anyway, the concept of other disciplines knowing more than we do about certain toxins including fungus makes sense and I for one will take a peek at these links. - Stan > > So - the mechanics of this thing.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 It's hard to tell where the cascade begins and what exactly effects what along the way so if I were to speculate what came first, second, third... I could only be right once in a while for certain kids... What I can say is my general belief that somewhere along the line the immune system becomes disregulated and in this state often become chronically active and there is a shift to autoimmunity. There are many things that can cause that in the environment. Mercury and other metals, pesticides, pcbs... maybe even fungus itself (mold absolutely included... some of the worst cases I've seen in autism were molt induced.) Once the immune system has broken down the toxins of all different types begin to build and when the tipping point is reached you begin to have an autistic child.... (or chronically ill for some). That's my view of it. This concept is really the beginnings of environmental medicine and these kids are likely the more biologically fragile in our society. If you ask me, they were/are destined for greatness because some of the most bright folks have physical challenges... frail bodies but amazing minds. You see the nerotransmitters needed to have a good mind are the same ones needed to have a good immune system. So if you focus on one, I believe you eventually take away from another. Our kids were meant to be the brightest and it left them vonerable to humanities (environmental) ignorance. - Stan > > > > > > Has the abnormal white matter been tested..is it brain matter or some > > > other matter...fungal...?

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Sure, Stan. What I really heard in the video sounded like some of the first questions I asked as a mold patient, and since then from dozens of others. I only meant to say that I think you're moving in the right direction, but on very limited info at this point. I don't believe the guy was "high". Maybe giddy from a sudden outbreak of relative wellness, but not high, I don't think. We're talking about two different things here - or maybe three, if you include allergy. Candida, when it colonizes the body, creates a number of problems as it grows there. It can and does create its own toxins. In sufficient quantity or over along enough period, anyone would get sick. But when the candida is stopped, the illness would resolve. Any remaining toxins would be excreted through the gut. In those who have the genetic problem, the fungus may be gone, but the toxins, which are attracted to fat cells, stay on and circulate virtually forever. They are small enough to be constantly reabsorbed in the intestine. For those people, no colonization is necessary at all. It doesn't have to come from candida, either. Enough time in a damp building can do it. It only takes 48 hours for the spores naturally embedded in gypsum drywall to start colonizing successfully, and often this is going on inside walls or in crawl spaces where you don't see it. Other materials can be colonized, of course, but gypsum and ventilation systems are a fave. Those bad boys can be any of dozens of species, but aspergillus, fusarium, and penecillium species are very common, some worse than others, but none of them good for humans. Instead of ergot alkaloids, you'd want to be looking at tricothcenes, satratoxins, ochratoxins, and the like. The mycotoxins themselves are only tiny chemical metabolites, so once they get airborn, they can stay suspended for a very long time, and you end up breathing or eating them. They can and do cross the blood/brain barrier easily, and they go right through HEPA filters. That's a big reason why mold remediators wear hazmat gear. Schools and environmentally controlled office buildings are also faves. The schools usually stay closed up over the summers and maintenance tends to be driven more by budget than by practical need. Office buildings don't even have windows that open these days, so they also make nice fungal habitats. Many of these are buildings are of a type of construction that was never used until the mid 1900's, and now they are aging. Antibiotics in the 40's, drywall in the 50's and 60's, more childhood vaccines in the 70's and 80's, and suddenly we've got MS, CFS, and a whole range of vastly increased chronic illness in adults, asthma in both kids and adults, all the other stuff with the kids. This is just and expanded view of the same picture you were already looking at. The end result can be that at some point, the toxic load you carry (including other toxins) reaches critical mass, and then you're stuck with neurological illness that blows through every body system, disrupting endocrine balance, disturbing cardiopulmonary function (to the point where you see all that hypoperfusion in the brain), messing your immune system, and disturbing methylation cycles. Virus, allergy, cognitive disturbance, and all kinds of other purgatory rains down on you, because nothing works right any more. People all around you can breeze right through the very same situation while you're falling apart. So little is understood about this right now, that of course you can end up questioning your own sanity right along with everyone else. So, I keep hearing tales of odd effects and behaviors in the kids that appear to come out of nowhere. It might not make any sense to anyone else, and I know it can drive their parents nuts, but I've done some pretty weird things myself in response to unseen chemicals no one else in room was feeling. Just about all of it is comfort-seeking behavior - instinctive reactions to pain or discomfort that don't make any sense to an onlooker. The closest comparison I can make is more like a really horrible hangover than like being high (don't ask me how I know : ). Which makes sense - a hangover is the very last stage of intoxication. Your softest clothing feels like razor blades, distant sounds no one else even notices are like sonic booms, what was tasty yesterday makes you want to toss just thinking about it, and it's a coin flip whether you sleep or drum or scream or whatever until it finally passes. You automaticlly do whichever seems to relive the discomfort. What I don't know, as I said, is exactly how this operates in ASD kids. There's absolutely no way the mycotoxins problem and ASD are exclusive of each other - that's already been established. But I'm thinking that it's probably a combo of whatever they picked up in utero, plus the vaccines, plus evironmental exposures to mycotoxins and others. The kids simply hit the limit far, far earlier than someone like me. And once you hit it, the level of sensitivity to those particular toxins is no less than the extremes the parents here talk about. (In the end, I'm doing antivirals, antifungals, MB12, detox, and supps not unlike what many of the kids are doing. A neurotoxin by any other name...) If what I propose is true, then it's possible that some percentage of these kids need a whole additional type of detox, such as cholestyramine - which binds to the toxins as they circulate through the gut so they cannot be reabsorbed. It's a totally different process than killing candida or chelating metals, and MB12 alone shouldn't be even remotely capable of doing that job. (I'd roll with the increased perfusion idea with the video subject, but I'm only guessing.) Just knowing what the mycotoxins alone can do has me wondering if this issue isn't holding some of the kids back from responding to these other protocols.With adults, the testing is done with a fast, inexpensive, and accurate vision test, a history, and the genetic testing if the first two look suspicious. I suppose that would all have to be adapted to suit the situation, but it _is_ possible to know objectively whether it's an issue or not. If it is, you end the exposure any way you have to do it, get the detox going, and avoid further exposures for the rest of your life. There is no cure at this time. Like diabetes, you learn to manage, and hopefully, you get to it before the damage becomes permanent. So - it's an option. You'll find that this biotoxin issue is no less well financed and politicized than the vaccine problem. These are both rapidly advancing areas of illness and research the government would prefer to ignore, so that part of the experience is very, very similar. There are a few doctors looking at both sides of it, but these are life-devastating events. We all tend to get caught up in our own issues full time, and maybe not talk as much as we ought to. I was completely surprised to find that various practitioners I've been in touch with lately all said the same thing to me - they were used to dealing with patients who couldn't really tell them what it was like, and they really wanted to know. They knew about mold patients, but hadn't seen many of them yet who could talk about it. In return, I got treated for some problems no one on the "moldy" side of the house had been helping me with. So of course, I'm thinking the reverse just might also be true. I do know you can knock yourself out with these various other treatments, but they can only succeed just so far as long as the mycotoxins are still present and disrupting your efforts. As nearly as I can tell, at the very least 25% of the kids are statistically bound to be vulnerable, so it's not really a longshot. The genetic markers have been tested against several thousand patients now. Shoemaker went down to New Orleans last year and tested and treated a thousand or so first responders, and was able to reconfirm his findings. Even if the child hasn't got the actual exposure problem yet, you'd at least know to protect them from it. I'm reasoning that any child with a toxin load already so heavy as to do all of this to them is simply not going to fare well in an exposure. Would love to hear your ideas on this whenever you find time. [Just as an aside - a little over a year ago, it was found that the women with the saline breast implants who got so sick? Yep. Fungus. Aspergillus was found growing in the excised implants. The surgeon who figured it out knew about the fungus, but not the mycotoxins. These women were both colonized and poisoned. It's a little different for them - they tend to develop fibromyalgia, but they're getting treated now.] __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Gee, Stan, you're starting to sound like you're looking for a fight, lol. I think we can safely leave the low road stuff to the defense firms and government types. Don't even get me started... I have seen your other vids. I was impressed. The main thing that got my attention was the eye contact improvement. I've caught myself at it many many times, and just couldn't fix it no matter how hard I tried. I interpret (and experienced) that behavior as another example of automatically shutting off overwhelming stimuli in order to maintain focus and orientation. Once I thought about it a bit more, I saw that really getting face to face with another human is a lot more than the simple act of looking at them. It's an active and complex task that requires absorbing millions of bits of information and motion and interpreting and responding to it all. Direct contact with another human just eats up loads of attention and energy. Unfortunately, other people may mistake it for shyness or dishonesty when an adult doesn't meet their eye. I thought looking for more eye contact was a really simple but fantastic measure of less effortful thought and focus, and that's what your subjects were reporting as well - another good lesson from autism. There are some existing theories about CFS and its ilk being, in part, a case of the body and brain shutting down all non-essential functions so you can survive the metabolic failures. I tend to think there's some truth in there, and this eye-contact phenom is just another part of it. Mold people don't really talk about it. MS people don't really talk about it. I had to observe some of them myself and ask around, but it's definitely there - just not as profound as the kids, because speech continues. Maybe that's because adults already have language skills when they get into trouble? On the other hand, the divorce rate amongst biotoxin patients rises to 70%. That visual interaction is really primal stuff. It's awfully hard for the undamaged loved ones to not take it personally. A parent usually perseveres, where a spouse usually won't. None of the doctors argued with me about MB12 - they all approved whole-heartedly and said go for it. There was a neurologist, a holist who treats toxic injuries, and a psychiatrist in the crowd, so it was a nice little cross-disciplinary poll. Not one seemed to think it was a panacea or a one-shot solution to any given problem, but all knew what it was and thought it was probably an excellent supportive therapy. They are equally enthused with EFA, and every one of them was quick to tell me they use it themselves. They all made EFA brand and type recommendations like regular connoisseurs...or die-hard sports fans. I still have a lot more to learn about how MB12 does its thing. Possibly, those really amazing effects don't happen until the total toxin load is low enough for the effects to show? The very sickest people would definitely not be finding their way to your office. They don't get out much. Other ideas - the deficiency simply isn't present in everyone; or perhaps it doesn't matter what the MB12 could do if the lack of perfusion keeps it from being delivered to the whole brain. You got the EEG's - it would be neat to see it done with SPECT. I supposed we'd have to scan for papers to see if anyone has tried that. I'm still looking for the autism scans. I didn't find them yet. I'll have to look around some more later. I do know that Hauser (on the front page of your link) treats mold patients and uses HBOT, from what I hear. Perhaps someone else could tell me - in mold patients, the hypoperfusion issue goes far beyond the brain. It's a whole-body problem, because the heart isn't cranking out enough liters per minute to perfuse a kitchen sponge efficiently. Is that also true with the kids? I'm off to look around for those scans again. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Serena,It's time to write a book! This stuff is amazing and horrifying all at the same time. Thank you.Nora Sure, Stan. What I really heard in the video sounded like some of the first questions I asked as a mold patient, and since then from dozens of others. I only meant to say that I think you're moving in the right direction, but on very limited info at this point. I don't believe the guy was "high". Maybe giddy from a sudden outbreak of relative wellness, but not high, I don't think. We're talking about two different things here - or maybe three, if you include allergy. Candida, when it colonizes the body, creates a number of problems as it grows there. It can and does create its own toxins. In sufficient quantity or over along enough period, anyone would get sick. But when the candida is stopped, the illness would resolve. Any remaining toxins would be excreted through the gut. In those who have the genetic problem, the fungus may be gone, but the toxins, which are attracted to fat cells, stay on and circulate virtually forever. They are small enough to be constantly reabsorbed in the intestine. For those people, no colonization is necessary at all. It doesn't have to come from candida, either. Enough time in a damp building can do it. It only takes 48 hours for the spores naturally embedded in gypsum drywall to start colonizing successfully, and often this is going on inside walls or in crawl spaces where you don't see it. Other materials can be colonized, of course, but gypsum and ventilation systems are a fave. Those bad boys can be any of dozens of species, but aspergillus, fusarium, and penecillium species are very common, some worse than others, but none of them good for humans. Instead of ergot alkaloids, you'd want to be looking at tricothcenes, satratoxins, ochratoxins, and the like. The mycotoxins themselves are only tiny chemical metabolites, so once they get airborn, they can stay suspended for a very long time, and you end up breathing or eating them. They can and do cross the blood/brain barrier easily, and they go right through HEPA filters. That's a big reason why mold remediators wear hazmat gear. Schools and environmentally controlled office buildings are also faves. The schools usually stay closed up over the summers and maintenance tends to be driven more by budget than by practical need. Office buildings don't even have windows that open these days, so they also make nice fungal habitats. Many of these are buildings are of a type of construction that was never used until the mid 1900's, and now they are aging. Antibiotics in the 40's, drywall in the 50's and 60's, more childhood vaccines in the 70's and 80's, and suddenly we've got MS, CFS, and a whole range of vastly increased chronic illness in adults, asthma in both kids and adults, all the other stuff with the kids. This is just and expanded view of the same picture you were already looking at. The end result can be that at some point, the toxic load you carry (including other toxins) reaches critical mass, and then you're stuck with neurological illness that blows through every body system, disrupting endocrine balance, disturbing cardiopulmonary function (to the point where you see all that hypoperfusion in the brain), messing your immune system, and disturbing methylation cycles. Virus, allergy, cognitive disturbance, and all kinds of other purgatory rains down on you, because nothing works right any more. People all around you can breeze right through the very same situation while you're falling apart. So little is understood about this right now, that of course you can end up questioning your own sanity right along with everyone else. So, I keep hearing tales of odd effects and behaviors in the kids that appear to come out of nowhere. It might not make any sense to anyone else, and I know it can drive their parents nuts, but I've done some pretty weird things myself in response to unseen chemicals no one else in room was feeling. Just about all of it is comfort-seeking behavior - instinctive reactions to pain or discomfort that don't make any sense to an onlooker. The closest comparison I can make is more like a really horrible hangover than like being high (don't ask me how I know : ). Which makes sense - a hangover is the very last stage of intoxication. Your softest clothing feels like razor blades, distant sounds no one else even notices are like sonic booms, what was tasty yesterday makes you want to toss just thinking about it, and it's a coin flip whether you sleep or drum or scream or whatever until it finally passes. You automaticlly do whichever seems to relive the discomfort. What I don't know, as I said, is exactly how this operates in ASD kids. There's absolutely no way the mycotoxins problem and ASD are exclusive of each other - that's already been established. But I'm thinking that it's probably a combo of whatever they picked up in utero, plus the vaccines, plus evironmental exposures to mycotoxins and others. The kids simply hit the limit far, far earlier than someone like me. And once you hit it, the level of sensitivity to those particular toxins is no less than the extremes the parents here talk about. (In the end, I'm doing antivirals, antifungals, MB12, detox, and supps not unlike what many of the kids are doing. A neurotoxin by any other name...) If what I propose is true, then it's possible that some percentage of these kids need a whole additional type of detox, such as cholestyramine - which binds to the toxins as they circulate through the gut so they cannot be reabsorbed. It's a totally different process than killing candida or chelating metals, and MB12 alone shouldn't be even remotely capable of doing that job. (I'd roll with the increased perfusion idea with the video subject, but I'm only guessing.) Just knowing what the mycotoxins alone can do has me wondering if this issue isn't holding some of the kids back from responding to these other protocols.With adults, the testing is done with a fast, inexpensive, and accurate vision test, a history, and the genetic testing if the first two look suspicious. I suppose that would all have to be adapted to suit the situation, but it _is_ possible to know objectively whether it's an issue or not. If it is, you end the exposure any way you have to do it, get the detox going, and avoid further exposures for the rest of your life. There is no cure at this time. Like diabetes, you learn to manage, and hopefully, you get to it before the damage becomes permanent. So - it's an option. You'll find that this biotoxin issue is no less well financed and politicized than the vaccine problem. These are both rapidly advancing areas of illness and research the government would prefer to ignore, so that part of the experience is very, very similar. There are a few doctors looking at both sides of it, but these are life-devastating events. We all tend to get caught up in our own issues full time, and maybe not talk as much as we ought to. I was completely surprised to find that various practitioners I've been in touch with lately all said the same thing to me - they were used to dealing with patients who couldn't really tell them what it was like, and they really wanted to know. They knew about mold patients, but hadn't seen many of them yet who could talk about it. In return, I got treated for some problems no one on the "moldy" side of the house had been helping me with. So of course, I'm thinking the reverse just might also be true. I do know you can knock yourself out with these various other treatments, but they can only succeed just so far as long as the mycotoxins are still present and disrupting your efforts. As nearly as I can tell, at the very least 25% of the kids are statistically bound to be vulnerable, so it's not really a longshot. The genetic markers have been tested against several thousand patients now. Shoemaker went down to New Orleans last year and tested and treated a thousand or so first responders, and was able to reconfirm his findings. Even if the child hasn't got the actual exposure problem yet, you'd at least know to protect them from it. I'm reasoning that any child with a toxin load already so heavy as to do all of this to them is simply not going to fare well in an exposure. Would love to hear your ideas on this whenever you find time. [Just as an aside - a little over a year ago, it was found that the women with the saline breast implants who got so sick? Yep. Fungus. Aspergillus was found growing in the excised implants. The surgeon who figured it out knew about the fungus, but not the mycotoxins. These women were both colonized and poisoned. It's a little different for them - they tend to develop fibromyalgia, but they're getting treated now.] __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 I don't know how much more high he could have been. He was holucinating and the VP of Doctor's Data was there verifying it. The second dose he was just getting the typical clarity effect, but he was clearly high as a kite the first night that he describes in detail with flames that look like glass, moving lights that didn't exist, his friend looking to him like the devil straight out of hell, being scared of us moving our hands at him, the perm- a-grin look, etc. I was there, others were there, the camera was there... he was tripping there is not question about it. I think you may be confused about the following day when we dosed him the second time and he just felt clear and things were vivid. That's the typical effect of MB12. The tripping happened the night before. " We're talking about two different things here - or maybe three, if you include allergy. Candida, when it colonizes the body, creates a number of problems as it grows there. It can and does create its own toxins. In sufficient quantity or over along enough period, anyone would get sick. But when the candida is stopped, the illness would resolve. Any remaining toxins would be excreted through the gut. " Are you sure you wantched the video closely? I never talked about candida. I just said fungus (although I mentioned ergot in relationship to the grains and lsd since that has already happened and could still be happening to the wheat products we eat). Fugus causes alkoloids and other toxins (micotoxins included) that do not immediately leave the body. Some are fat soluable and get stuck in the fatty tissues including the brain. I suspect one of the reasons for gains with Liver Life has to do with changes in PH which help lock the toxins in the fat and not let them leak out as the PH goes down. Anyway, if we are talking about if Eddie was tripping or just feeling good, I've seen more first doses of MB12 than just about anyone on the planet and I can tell you his experience was quite abnormal and not just a healing experience. The boy was tripping like I've never seen before and our friend at Doctor's Data has some experience in watching people trip on LSD and he was right there and says so on film. I don't know what more evidence I can present you. Eddie saying he was tripping, me saying he was tripping, Quig PhD saying he was tripping, video showing he was tripping, and evidence that others have tripped on fungal toxins. I'm not sure what else I can provide you. That said, I'm not minimizing the effects of micotoxins as well. I include that as a fungal toxin. Where just talking about different fungal toxins here. It's the same shirt and were bantering over the different types of material in the shirt. And I'm listening to you and I'll check out cholestyramine. - Stan > > Sure, Stan.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Ok, cholestyramine. I totally agree this could help... as could most cholesterol effecting medications. Many fungal toxins are oily in nature. If you look at dad's of ASD kids you'll often see oily scalps. I was like that as well. Not too far from an ASD child you'll find some type of lipid issue that is typically related more to fungus than fats in the diet. This is all connected. As far as I'm concerned, I would also consider cholestramine (or many of the cholesterol meds) based on my research in fungal toxins being oily in nature and effecting lipid motabolism, but I would try some naturals first and I mention them in the video. Niacin (tid) L-Carnatine (tid) and St. 's Wart (and OLE/Valtrex and Diflucan/Nizoral) I accidently came across L-Carnatine because I was suggesting children who take fatty acids take L-Carnatine and a teenager involved at my school with a serious colesterol problem resolved in two weeks of using L-Carnatine. If you look at Niacin treatment you'll find it causes rashes not too disimilar to the rashes we see with Valtrex and Diflucan/Nizoral. Basically if you want to get rid of oily fungal toxins, focus on lipid motabolism and mitochondria activity when they are in the blood. For our kids, to get the toxins from the fat into the blood consider MB12, Valtrex or OLE with Diflucan or Nizoral. Also, consider HBOT to help push the toxins out of the cells by putting oxygen in there. I've observed this and will report on it later. I've been working on HBOT every day as well. Maybe we should be supplementing with lipid therapy before HBOT.... This also probablly explains why we have seen some strange reports about Valtrex and HBOT. Valtrex and an antifungal might help mobilize the toxins into the blood and then HBOT pushes them into the cells and the kids react. I think we might want to get the toxins out of the fat, then out of the body (and some into the cells to burn it off) then add fatty acids, then HBOT them (repeat as necessary). I'm going to put together some new protocols to try relating to what I've learned over the last couple of months while away from the group. Ok, I'm off to Children's Corner. See you later. I'm also really excited. I have a non-verbal child with CP and Chron's starting on Monday who responds to oxygen tape... he should be a huge responder. - Stan > > Sure, Stan.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 I thought there was a fairly recent study saying that our kids already have extremely low cholesterol levels. Would a cholesterol reducing agent bring it down even more? I haven’t actually had my son tested. But if we are looking into cholesterol lowering possibilities what about Red Yeast Rice? Also, I was just googling supplements that remove mycotoxins and something interesting popped up. NDF.

Maybe we should be supplementing with lipid therapy before HBOT.... This also probablly explains why we have seen some strange reports about Valtrex and HBOT. Valtrex and an antifungal might help mobilize the toxins into the blood and then HBOT pushes them into the cells and the kids react. I think we might want to get the toxins out of the fat, then out of the body (and some into the cells to burn it off) then add fatty acids, then HBOT them (repeat as necessary). I'm going to put together some new protocols to try relating to what I've learned over the last couple of months while away from the group. Ok, I'm off to Children's Corner. See you later. I'm also really excited. I have a non-verbal child with CP and Chron's starting on Monday who responds to oxygen tape... he should be a huge responder. - Stan > __________________________________________________ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can safely leave the low road stuff to the defense firms and government types. Don't even get me started... I have seen your other vids. I was impressed. The main thing that got my attention was the eye contact improvement. I've caught myself at it many many times, and just couldn't fix it no matter how hard I tried. I interpret (and experienced) that behavior as another example of automatically shutting off overwhelming stimuli in order to maintain focus and orientation. Once I thought about it a bit more, I saw that really getting face to face with another human is a lot more than the simple act of looking at them. It's an active and complex task that requires absorbing millions of bits of information and motion and interpreting and responding to it all. Direct contact with another human just eats up loads of attention and energy. Unfortunately, other people may mistake it for shyness or dishonesty when an adult doesn't meet their eye. I thought looking for more eye contact was a really simple but fantastic measure of less effortful thought and focus, and that's what your subjects were reporting as well - another good lesson from autism. There are some existing theories about CFS and its ilk being, in part, a case of the body and brain shutting down all non-essential functions so you can survive the metabolic failures. I tend to think there's some truth in there, and this eye-contact phenom is just another part of it. Mold people don't really talk about it. MS people don't really talk about it. I had to observe some of them myself and ask around, but it's definitely there - just not as profound as the kids, because speech continues. Maybe that's because adults already have language skills when they get into trouble? On the other hand, the divorce rate amongst biotoxin patients rises to 70%. That visual interaction is really primal stuff. It's awfully hard for the undamaged loved ones to not take it personally. A parent usually perseveres, where a spouse usually won't. None of the doctors argued with me about MB12 - they all approved whole-heartedly and said go for it. There was a neurologist, a holist who treats toxic injuries, and a psychiatrist in the crowd, so it was a nice little cross-disciplinary poll. Not one seemed to think it was a panacea or a one-shot solution to any given problem, but all knew what it was and thought it was probably an excellent supportive therapy. They are equally enthused with EFA, and every one of them was quick to tell me they use it themselves. They all made EFA brand and type recommendations like regular connoisseurs...or die-hard sports fans. I still have a lot more to learn about how MB12 does its thing. Possibly, those really amazing effects don't happen until the total toxin load is low enough for the effects to show? The very sickest people would definitely not be finding their way to your office. They don't get out much. Other ideas - the deficiency simply isn't present in everyone; or perhaps it doesn't matter what the MB12 could do if the lack of perfusion keeps it from being delivered to the whole brain. You got the EEG's - it would be neat to see it done with SPECT. I supposed we'd have to scan for papers to see if anyone has tried that. I'm still looking for the autism scans. I didn't find them yet. I'll have to look around some more later. I do know that Hauser (on the front page of your link) treats mold patients and uses HBOT, from what I hear. Perhaps someone else could tell me - in mold patients, the hypoperfusion issue goes far beyond the brain. It's a whole-body problem, because the heart isn't cranking out enough liters per minute to perfuse a kitchen sponge efficiently. Is that also true with the kids? I'm off to look around for those scans again.__________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
