Question:

Someone who lived nearby saw how worn out and yellow I looked and told me to move my bed off the earth’s electro magnetic field. He’d been through something similar to me with forgetfulness etc… I phoned up the researcher and a scientist came round to the house. We had 90% radiation in the metal springs in our mattress. We moved the bed away from the Earth’s energy field and after 2 months of awful withdrawal symptoms my chronic fatigue suddenly lifted.

Can you elaborate what you mean by having 90% radiation in your mattress?? K: Now I was able to drive my car and I found a kinesiologist who found that my Ileo Cecael valve was out between my small and large intestine. She pushed that back in for me and said something highly toxic had done that to me. I then had a Mora test which showed up that I was sensitive to electric and chemicals, even the cables under the pavements. I couldn’t believe it (but have since spoken to others like it). Now I knew why my mum and my husband affected me. If they’d been near chemicals or electric it made me ill. They had to stay away from me.

You do realize that the above (Ileo-cecal v. relocation) is improbable to impossible. Look it up in "Gray’s Anatomy"-   was this kinesiologist doing a hernia repair?? K: I phoned round trying to find someone who knew about being sensitive to the environment and found a therapist in Northampton. I sat and told him of all my 76 symptoms that I’d got. He listened caringly whilst I cried my eyes out telling him my story. He told me that I had all the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis and Alzheimer’s. He then tested me with a Vega test and said not to worry as it was my mercury fillings leaking into my tissues and organs. I couldn’t believe it. This was why my car and escalators drained my energy, it was because my body was already overloaded with metal. The Amalgam fillings are made up of mercury, tin, copper, silver and zinc and send an electric current around in your mouth. There is more mercury in a large filling than in a thermometer.

You were allergic to electrical currents??   k" I then went to see a mercury free dentist in Loughborough who knew all about mercury poisoning. He asked me if I’d noticed that each time I had another filling I was getting more symptoms but I hadn’t realised. I’ve always trusted dentists and doctors. I made two visits to the dentist. He took the most leaking ones out first and the rest a month later with safety equipment so as I didn’t get any more poisonous vapours down me. "

So you are all well now?????? k" Read the entire story here:

"My illness first started approximately 25 years ago when eating chocolate gave me Headaches and Dizzyspells. Later in life I suffered Asthma and IBS. My legs would give way and I’d get tingling in them and also terrible Aches & pains. My Hair & skin dried out and my short term memory was starting to go. I was told everything was to do with Nerves. I’d meet friends for coffee but felt that I wasn’t really with them. I couldn’t concentrate on what they were saying. I couldn’t hold a conversation with them any more. Sometimes I couldn’t even think of their names. I noticed my slurred speech happening more and more. I forgot what I was saying in the middle of a sentence and in the end I dreaded being with people. I knew something was wrong but no-one was listening to me. I was constantly being told that it was my nerves and I’d been stupid enough to believe them. I lost all my confidence and would cry for no reason. I forgot what I went in a room for and even how to get dressed. I couldn’t stand sound. I needed to be left alone in the quiet. My throat started to feel like it was closing up all the time. I found it difficult to swallow. In the end I would choke so much that tears would fall down my cheeks. My mouth dried out like cardboard and I lost all my saliva and I had a swollen tongue that felt too big for my mouth. My teeth were going yellow and coming away from the gums. I asked my dentist who said that it must be a food allergy. My voice got huskier and I had a metallic taste in my mouth. My mouth burnt out like stinging nettles were in it, my face was swollen and I had about 5 double chins. I also looked 6 months pregnant. I’d go to the shops and feel giddy. I also felt like my legs weren’t touching the floor and I was having a job to do chores like peeling the vegetables etc… I started to feel as if I was breathing in poison from the air. I threw out all pot pouri thinking it was that. My husband sprayed all the bedding and curtains etc… with some special allergic treatment whilst I stayed out in the garden away from it all. I was drinking so much water all day and sucking on ice cubes all night. My head felt fuzzy and I felt like I had a hangover all the time. In the end I was so ill that I collapsed getting out of my car one day when I came home from work. Mum phoned the doctor who came out and saw it was me and didn’t even come into the room. He said to my mum ‘ what am I doing here?’ and went away again. I then asked God to please let me die as no-one believed I was ill. I phoned a nutritional nurse from an allergy food company and she said I was very dehydrated and needed lots of warm water to get down to my kidneys quicker. I could have drunk from a vase of flowers or a puddle at this stage. My doctor sarcastically offered to put me on a drip when I went to see him with a glass and bottle of water in my hand for whilst I was in the waiting room. My IBS got worse and I ended up having to give up work as my legs gave way so much, especially after being on escalators or driving the car. My Chronic Fatigue was so bad that I ended up collapsing and being taken to hospital where they phoned my doctor up and then sent a psychiatrist in to me. A few weeks later I had a letter to see another psychiatrist and I returned the letter saying ‘thank you for your concern but please give this appointment to someone who needs it’. Over the months I couldn’t move from one chair to another. Everything I tried to pick up felt heavy as if I was going to drop it. Sometimes I’d get a burst of energy for about half an hour in an afternoon but then it would go again. One day I actually managed to empty the rubbish bins into the dustbin and I was so proud of myself for doing that.

Question:

Mike, First off; thank you very much for this post. Unfortunately these findings do not bode well for ever being able to correct ADHD physically. It’s a step in the right direction as far as physically being able to diagnose ADD (at least ADHD). I wonder what a brain MRI would cost these days? I hope they are just getting started as far as this study goes. Thanks again.                                              Ray

Hi Folks, I clipped this off of the NIMH server. I thought some of you might be interested. It fits in well with my theory that I will post here one of these days. Sincerely Michael Michalchik Subtle Brain Circuit Abnormalities Confirmed in ADHD Contact: Jules Asher (301) 443-4536 EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE: JULY 15, 1996 Subtle structural abnormalities in the brain circuit that inhibits thoughts have been confirmed in the first comprehensive brain imaging study of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Difficulty staying mentally focused is a primary symptom of ADHD, which affects about 5 percent of school age children. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans of 57 boys with ADHD, aged 5-18, also revealed that their brains were more symmetrical than those of 55 age-matched controls. F. Xavier Castellanos, M.D., of the National Institute of Mental Health and colleagues report on their findings in the July issue of the Archives of General Psychiatry. Three structures in the affected circuit on the right side of the brain — prefrontal cortex, caudate nucleus and globus pallidus — were smaller than normal in the boys with ADHD, when examined as a group. The prefrontal cortex, located in the frontal lobe just behind the forehead, is believed to serve as the brain’s command center. The caudate nucleus and globus pallidus, located near the middle of the brain, translate the commands into action. "If the prefrontal cortex is the steering wheel, the caudate and globus are the accelerator and brakes," explained Castellanos. "And it’s this braking or inhibitory function that is likely impaired in ADHD." ADHD is thought to be rooted in an inability to inhibit thoughts. Finding smaller right hemisphere brain structures responsible for such "executive" functions strengthens support for this hypothesis. The NIMH researchers also found that the entire right cerebral hemispheres in boys with ADHD were, on average, 5.2% smaller than those of controls. The right side of the brain is normally larger than the left. Hence, the ADHD children, as a group, had abnormally symmetrical brains. Although the same brain circuit had been implicated earlier, Castellanos and colleagues examined a dozen times more brain areas in a three-fold larger sample than had been studied previously. "These subtle differences, discernible when comparing group data, hold promise as telltale markers for future family, genetic and treatment studies of ADHD," said Judith Rapoport, M.D., senior author on the paper and chief of the NIMH Child Psychiatry Branch. "However, because of normal genetic variation in brain structure, MRI scans cannot be used to definitively diagnose the disorder in any given individual." The newly confirmed markers may provide clues about the causes of ADHD. The investigators found a significant correlation between decreased normal asymmetry of the caudate nucleus and histories of prenatal, perinatal and birth complications, leading them to speculate that events in the womb may affect the normal development of brain asymmetry and may underlie ADHD. Since there is evidence for a genetic component in at least some cases of ADHD, factors such as a predisposition to prenatal viral infections could be involved, said Dr. Rapoport. The NIMH researchers are currently following up on a recent discovery of a link between ADHD and a gene variant known to code for a particular receptor subtype for the neurotransmitter dopamine. "We want to see the extent to which children with this gene variant also have the brain structural abnormalities revealed in this study," said Dr. Castellanos. The researchers are currently extending confirmation of the markers in girls as well as boys who have not been exposed to medication. They are also using functional MRI scanning to visualize brain activity in ADHD. Other NIMH researchers participating in the study were: Jay Giedd, M.D., Wendy Marsh, Susan Hamburger, Catherine Vaituzis, Yolanda Vauss, Debra Kaysen, Amy Krain, Gail Ritchie, and Jagath Rajapakse. Also participating were: Daniel Dickstein, Brown, U.; Stacey Sarfatti, U. Of Pennsylvania; John Snell, Ph.D., U. Of Virginia; and Nicholas Lange, Ph.D., National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.

Gently blowing in the ear inflates the brain on that side and makes it like a non ADDers. Where do you think the statement blow in my ear and I’ll follow you anywhere came from. Seriously I wonder what a brain MRI would cost these days? I hope they are just getting started as far as this study goes. Thanks again.                                             Ray

I had one earlier in the ear, oops year. Hospital bill was $872.50 for MRI and $204.21 for pharmacy (they injected something part way through the process, I think it was for contrast or something like that). This was discounted to my insurance company by $212.21. The radiologists bill was $325 discounted by $81.25 to insurance company. And of course don’t forget the money for the neurologists visits for ordering the procedure and the followup to find out results.      Wize

Hmm.. I have my brain MRIs from when I had headaches a few years ago.. I wonder if I can submit them somewhere to be studied… anyone have any ideas of where I can go with this, please let me know via email.

Since the Genetic Changes involved in ADD, have to do with the Dopaminergic System, and we have traced through the metabolic pathway right from Dopa to Norepinephrine, and on to epinephrine, what we end up with, is a link between the genetic code, and the development of the childs immune system.<snip Now we have a possible link between a poorly developed immune system and pre-natal infection with a virus. That this is significantly connected to the caudate assymettry suggests some role of the brains "accellerator" mechanism in immune development. <snip

Interesting. My adopted son was often sick in his early years. At age 3, after testing for allergies and finding none, we discovered his immune system readings were below the acceptable range for his age. Later, at age 8, he was diagnosed with ADHD, and just recently with Tourette Syndrome. So it is entirely possible that his immune system problems and the ADHD/TS are related. Vicki

It would be interesting to see if the people who respond to allergic treatment, and the people who don’t have some different developmental flaw in their immune systems, or if they both represent the same flaw, caused by a different timing element. For instance do ADDers have more allergies than ADHDers? Or are ADHDers more likely to have reduced immune function? Than ADDers, or visa versa? Or is there some relationship between the severity of the AD(H)D and the effect on the immune system?                                 GREY — YMCA Edmonton             (Back on line!

: Mike, : First off; thank you very much for this post. I second that, it is much more informative than the more popularized version. Ok, so we have a few new datums. One is the caudate assymetry, and pre-natal virus possibility Since the Genetic Changes involved in ADD, have to do with the Dopaminergic System, and we have traced through the metabolic pathway right from Dopa to Norepinephrine, and on to epinephrine, what we end up with, is a link between the genetic code, and the development of the childs immune system. (See earlier references to neuro-immunology theory) Now we have a possible link between a poorly developed immune system and pre-natal infection with a virus. That this is significantly connected to the caudate assymettry suggests some role of the brains "accellerator" mechanism in immune development. Recent experiments have shown some connection between the Melatonin system and other metabolic glands, suggesting that timing is important to metabolic function. Perhaps what we are looking at here, is a stuck-on or stuck-off condition in the caudate, affecting the timing of Metabolic and developmental systems that are sensitive to sychronization events, as a result, the Immune System, may be for instance started before it is fully mature, or after a viral infection has already taken effect, with the result that the virus, is not properly defended against, and becomes part of the "NORMAL" state for the body. After that of course, the Immune system cannot fight the virus, because it recognizes it as part of the body. : Unfortunately these findings do not bode well for ever being able to : correct ADHD physically. It’s a step in the right direction as far as : physically being able to diagnose ADD (at least ADHD). I wonder what a : brain MRI would cost these days? I hope they are just getting started : as far as this study goes. Considering that MRI require cryogenically cooled Magnets, I very much doubt that they are going to drop below the multiple K$ per study level for a little while yet. Think of this as Ivory Tower Science, rather than clinical wonderkind. Well, and as to correcting ADHD physically, we can only hope that they find out WHY these brain areas are so symettrical, and thus find a way of treating children that have the disorder before they leave the womb, if they learn what virus infection the kids are getting they can perhaps treat mothers during pregnancy like they do now for rubella. On the other hand, if it is not a virus, but some genetic trait that is shared with the mother, that creates these complications, then that is another case altogether.                                 GREY — YMCA Edmonton             (Back on line!
