I found this website that informs the public of the toxins in their area and who is doing the polluting. A good resource to see what’s happening in your area and the pollution around you that is likely responsible for health issues. (hat tip to Rodale website).
A poster on the mercury poisoning support group had posted an alarming letter–s/he was talking about being depressed and not seeing beyond the depression fog that goes with this horrible poison’s effects.
That was April 6th. I first replied that what the poster was experiencing was typical of heavy metal poisoning and that most of us have been *there*. I begged her/him not to give up.
When the poster did not reply to any of us (several of us replied trying to help the poster see beyond the immediate feelings of despair), I tried again and asked the poster to let us know that s/he was okay.
No reply. No response at all. I’m afraid that this horrible poison has taken another life. Shit.
(I’m hoping that they’re still there, but not able to post at this time.)
After reading this, I wanted to come back and comment on the fact that she had dementia. Reagan did, too.
Does anyone else wonder at this? What about heavy metal poisoning for the cause? Could the meanness of the world be caused by toxicity? We know it’s a known fact of mercury poisoning that anger and rage come with it. The Mayo Clinic’s site on dementia–note that heavy metal poisoning is way down on the list. It mentions low thyroid, which is good, but depressingly doesn’t mention diet.
More here from someone who recovered from dementia after adopting a gluten-free diet.
Finally, here’s a report on the connection between criminal behavior and high levels of heavy metals. So much grief caused by toxins…and yet, it’s ignored by the medical profession, the corrections system, the public, etc….
(Taking time out for a quick post. Mom is doing better at the moment….but not out of the woods yet)
I asked permission to post this story of the recovery of a GAPS support group member:
Hi you guys
I wanted to encourage all newbies. My son age 4/12 was non verbal when we started this diet. He also had no social skills and he didn’t respond to his nameWe have been on the diet for two years now. It has been a rough road to say the least. Not only was he nonverbal he also had extreme behavioral problems. Taking out high candida foods, like fruit, nuts and honey helped tremendously. We also have a Laura V from the group Gaps practitioner and Naturopath ND helping us.
Eli had a wonderful day at the park yesterday. My heart was overwhelmed with joy watching him play with other kids. He saw a little guy his age. He walked over to him and asked if he wanted to play. The other kiddo said yes. They played on the swing, they played tag and ran around. The other kid saw a friend he knew at the park. The friend also played with Eli. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Not to long Eli would shy away from kids. He use to act so strange around them. Perhaps because he couldn’t speak
He is also talking using sentences, asking questions and making comments on things that he hears and sees. We thought we would never see this happen
To all newbies stay the course. This diet can be stressful at times but the benefits of healing is so worth it. Dr NCM talks about adding cherries on top if you don’t see healing within a year or so. We had to get additional help. In addition to the diet. Eli is on homeopathic remedies to address his faulty detox system, his over exposure to antibiotics and his chronic gut issues due to the meds that was given to him as a baby. My doc is in the process of becoming gaps certified. I will post his info as soon as that happens
Hugs

I can’t add anything to this. It’s just absolutely stunning how diet can impact one so profoundly. God Bless Regina for being the kind of Mom who acts on her intuition and asks questions until she finds the answer.
Bhutan is the first country to go entirely organic. Good for them! Note that they see this as not only a practical idea, but they incorporate their spirituality in their reverence for nature. It’s not easy, as the article states, because it’s hard to reorient oneself to farming without chemicals. Chemicals are just too, too easy. It takes creative thinking and hard work to do the right thing.
<sigh> I wish the so-called progressive America did the same. (Remember when the United States used to lead the world?)
No, we’re not the leaders anymore….
…we’d much rather do stupid stuff like genetically engineer a life form and then persecute farmers into bankruptcy for using that technology unknowingly.

In other environmental news, Canadian Prime Minister Harper is being urged to walk away from yet another trade agreement.
From the article:
The Australian government decided in 2011 it would stop including these rights and investor-state dispute settlement in its trade and investment agreements. Many countries, including South Africa and India, are rethinking their investment treaties because of the way corporations and law firms have abused them to undermine democracy and public policies globally. Several Latin American countries are cancelling their investment treaties for the same reason.
~~~~~~~
Again, I ask, “remember when the U.S. used to lead the world….?” Why are other countries doing the right thing while America lists like a battered ship in the sea?
As if these folks don’t have enough to deal with–Haiti is in serious trouble with food shortages due not only to the after-effects of the 2010 earthquake, but from drought and flood… Good Grief. (Incidentally, I first read about this on a Guardian blog which is “supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation”–I refuse to link to it because of the so-called “doomsday seed bank” which is a megalomaniacal venture. Playing God with seeds–and you can bet it won’t be the “little people” who will partake in the seed distribution if “doomsday” occurs…if you want to read the Guardian article, you’ll have to search for it yourselves.)
I know it sounds so “out there” reading the above link—but Monsanto has a proven record of destruction, not production. And the Rockefellers have put money into eugenics. Given Bill Gates’ business practices (by requiring a monopoly of his products, he shut out better operating systems, therefore acquiring his millions by false means–not true capitalism where the best product gets the market share.)
I couldn’t believe what I was reading in the article about corn being engineered to contain spermicide. So…I looked on the web and found this by Alternet. Wow.
This was an interesting quote:
Scientists and corporations alike embrace biopharmaceuticals with glee: “Imagine being able to harvest enough globulin (a compound that fights arthritis) for the whole world in all of fifty acres?” writes Dr. William O. Robertson for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. “Imagine being able to find the protein healthy people use to prevent arthritis or breast cancer and being able to produce it in large quantities in rice and tobacco.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It’s just stunning how myopic these scientists are—especially with the knowledge that GM corn and other products are suspected of causing gut inflammation from GMO intolerance?? Destroying the immune system….to make people…better?? Note that he includes tobacco in products to be used by folks….yeah, now there’s a healthy product. /snark
As Brian Tokar brings up in the article, there are too many unknowns–it’s always an oversight by scientists to consider the effects to all of nature and how much humans’ health is affected by nature.
Here’s another article on pharming….and it’s in Indiana, where you can get away with anything while the press and politicians look the other way: popsci.com/scitech/article/2005-06/pharming-underground
And another article here…also in Indiana: intelihealth.com/IH/ihtIH/WSIHW000/8124/21291/338465.html

Okay, back to Haiti (sorry, got a little off topic there–am detoxing and I’m ADD a little more than usual. 🙂
The Guardian article brings up getting seeds to Haitians (and Africans)—which I thought was a great idea…until I saw the Gates Foundation and Monsanto supporting this….not hard to see that it is a propaganda piece to benefit them. It can’t be just “coincidence” that they are in a deal with Monsanto and now promoting this idea of seeds to Haiti. My fear is that these poor vulnerable folks are the guinea pigs for the Gates/Rockefeller/Monsanto venture. Disaster capitalism, my friends.
The misspent donations in Haiti. Glad to see that people are still trying to help Haiti recover. Haiti has to be the poster country for disaster relief mismanagement!
From the article:
In March 2010, UN countries pledged $5.3 billion over two years and a total of $9.9 billion over three years in a conference March 2010. The money was to be deposited with the World Bank and distributed by an internationally controlled fund called the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission Fund (IHRC). The IHRC was co-chaired by Bill Clinton and Jean-Max Bellerive, then the Haitian Prime Minister. 41 The IHRC was created by executive order of Haitian President Preval to exist for a period of 18 months beginning on April 21, 2010.42
This money effectively bypassed all the Haitian public governmental bodies. 43
By July 2010, Bill Clinton reported only 10 percent of the pledges had been given to the IHRC.
~~~~~~~~~
Feeling that they functioned solely as rubber stamps, the Haitian members complained of being “completely disconnected from the activities of the IHRC”; given no background information on the projects they are supposed to fund; given no time to “read, nor analyze, nor understand- and much less respond intelligently- to projects submitted”; no follow-up on the previously approved millions in funds; and not knowing the names of IHRC consultants nor their respective tasks.” As if to prove their point the IHRC meeting, held in the Dominican Republic, continued despite the absence of co-chair and Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive.
~~~~~~~~~~
(Once again, the Clintons screw things up. They say Reagan was the “teflon” president because nothing ever stuck to him…well Clinton ranks right up there with him.)
While typing, the chemtrails phenomenon popped into my head– I remember reading a connection between Gates and chemtrails and was wondering about their effects on rainfall. My thinking is that it can’t just be climate change that is creating the drought. I found this blog on it, but it was a general synopsis. Then I found this. It is an observation of the interference with rain clouds by chemtrails.
A side note~~ A petition against the Gates Foundation’s $27 million investment in Monsanto. Um-hmm…follow the money, folks.
I’ve touched on this previously, but wanted to put out the links I’ve found about the connection between Celiac and dementia. This really hits home because of my Mom’s suffering, which I am more and more positive comes from undiagnosed Celiac.
This is an interesting link about how someone might have Celiac, but the symptoms are neurological, not in the gut.
From the site:
British clinician, Dr. Maios Hadjivassiliou, a world renown authority on gluten, reported in The Lancet that gluten sensitivity can be at times exclusively a neurological disease.2 In other words, people suffering from gluten intolerance can have absolutely no digestive symptoms but will have issues with brain dysfunction.
~~~~~~~~
This is my Mom, in a nutshell.
Here’s another short and sweet site with a connection. Note that it says that the Celiac diet only helped one patient. I would question that because the sample is too small and it doesn’t state what exactly the person was eating. I have actually seen sites and cookbooks that claim to gluten free and they had gluten in the recipes. And I would also want to know if the diet contained GMO food, which is also suspect at causing Celiac.
Another site here. Note that they say they saw a reversal of symptoms…nothing short of miraculous!
They often talk about how our compromised gut allows Candida (yeast) to get waaaay out of control, which also affects brain function. They talk about it here on celiac.com and a post here on the NY Times site –-these are very good descriptions on what we go through–it’s also a good description of heavy metal poisoning sufferers. Note IrishHeart’s description of holding her husband’s sleeves when they went out–that shyness/autistic-like symptom. Been there, done that…still have *those* days…
Another neurological affliction linked to Celiac is Ataxia–your balance is off and you look like you’re drunk (walking sideways) when you walk. People have been mistakenly diagnosed with multiple schlerosis when their symptoms were from Celiac disease.
Remember the teacher who wanted to carry a gun in school? Remember the constant movement of her eyes?
From the site:
About 80% have problems with their eyes, in which their eyes move involuntarily back and forth.
~~~~~~~
Now look again at that video here. I would say she’s probably a Celiac and has heavy metal poisoning. (That will be $100 for a diagnosis. :p )
Once again, I am in awe of our miraculous bodies and how the body will constantly try to fix itself….if only given the proper tools of organic (gluten free) diet, clean air, clean water, and exercise….
