"For years scientists have struggled to explain the rising rates of some cancers and childhood brain disorders. Something about modern living has driven a steady rise of certain maladies, from breast and prostate cancer to autism and learning disabilities. One suspect is now drawing intense scrutiny: the prevalence in the environment of certain industrial chemicals at extremely low levels. |

See book keywords and concepts |  In the 1870s, following a remarkably successful decade of work elucidating a range of other brain disorders, Charcot had decided it was time to make hysteria lie down and behave. Using a well-tested approach that involved correlating symptoms with anatomical evidence of disease, he resolved to bring it into focus for himself and his medical colleagues.
The strategy worked—or at least it half worked. Brain dissections in the laboratory produced no clear results. However, underlying patterns for the permanent symptoms, the so-called stigmata, of hysteria began to emerge. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Psychopharmacology 184: 523-39, 2006] Nicotine is also being considered as treatment for brain disorders such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. [Expert Opinion Investigational Drugs 8: 747-60, 1999]
The tobacco industry has somehow created the idea that nicotine is the chief cancer-causing agent in cigarettes. This is misleading. Nicotine is actually the habit-forming component of tobacco. Lowering nicotine levels in cigarettes appears to be counterproductive. |

Beeswax—For Asthma, Allergies and Sinus Problems
Hundreds of years ago, most candles were made of beeswax. | | On a different note, independent research published in November 2007 shows that lack of sleep also causes brain disorders.
Physical Cleansing
The body needs to be cleared of toxins before it can restore its natural weight. Cleansing it also ensures that weight loss takes place smoothly and without causing adverse effects. The most powerful and thorough of all the cleansing procedures described in this book is the Liver and Gallbladder Flush. Its most important effect is to restore AGNI, the digestive fire. | | If wrongly treated (through pharmaceutical drugs) tumor formation, meningitis and other brain disorders, and even hearing loss may result. If you experience any liquid coming from your ears or discover a swelling near the ears, you need to start some cleansing procedures immediately. (See chapters 6 and 7.) Note: For short-term relief, the ancient technique of ear coning or ear candling can help drain old wax, fungus and toxic residues from the ears and open the lymph ducts for improved drainage. Placing several drops of urine into the ears also helps to clear up some of the congestion. |

See book keywords and concepts |  According to Eric Braverman, MD, a specialist in biochemical brain disorders, CES devices work by stimulating brain tissue to produce essential neurochemicals that may have been depleted due to stress or anxiety. These neurochemicals act to increase levels of beta-endorphins in the brain—the substances that produce a feel-good relaxed state or a runner's high.22 The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved CES devices for treatment of insomnia, depression, and anxiety.
In 1996, Daniel Kirsch, Ph.D., a neurobiologist, reviewed 103 studies of CES involving 4,848 subjects. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Some experts also expressed concern that certain teas had been found to contain high levels of aluminum, which could increase the risk of certain bone and brain disorders. Fortunately, when later researchers investigated this issue, they discovered that the aluminum in tea is present in a complex form that is less absorbable than the ionic form of alurninum and has much less potential to exert an adverse effect on health. | | There has been some concern about the seemingly high levels of the mineral aluminum found in tea, particularly since an excessive intake of aluminum may be associated with serious bone and brain disorders. However, researchers have discovered that aluminum is present in tea in a complex, rather than ionic, form, which is less absorbable and has much less potential to have an adverse effect on health. Studies conducted on animals show that frequent consumption of green tea does not contribute significantly to the body's aluminum burden, nor does the mineral accumulate in the bones. |

The following signs indicate the presence of crystals and stones in the kidneys or bladder:
• A dark or whitish color under the eyes.
• Puffy or swollen eyes, particularly in the morning.
• Deep wrinkles under and around the eyes.
• Tiny whitish, tan-colored or dark lumps under the eyes, which can be felt or made visible when stretching the skin outward toward the cheekbones.
• Overlapping of the upper eyelid.
• Chronic pain in the lower back.
• Swelling of feet and legs. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Many health problems today, including osteoporosis, heart disease, cancer, arthritis, brain disorders, kidney stones, gallstones, and so on, are the direct result of ingesting such metallic minerals.
Fortunately, there is a very efficient way to obtain minerals in the size of, and with the characteristics of, plant minerals. When vaporized in a vacuum chamber (without oxygen), minerals are prevented from oxidizing and forming into complex states. Once vaporized, the minerals can be combined with purified water and be made readily available to the cells of the body. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Two doctors have reported that GABA is beneficial in the treatment of a variety of brain disorders, including epilepsy (page 183) and schizophrenia (page 393).2 However, those reports have not been substantiated with clinical trials. High intake of GABA was shown to produce a significant increase in plasma growth-hormone levels (single administration of 5,000 mg) and prolactin (daily administration of 18,000 mg for four days) in one human study3 but the clinical significance of these observations is not clear.
Where is it found? | | Huperzine A may also have a protective effect on brain tissue, further increasing its theoretical potential for helping reduce symptoms of some brain disorders.5'6
In a double-blind trial, people with Alzheimer's disease (page 19) had significant improvement in memory and cognitive and behavioral functions after taking 200 meg of huperzine A twice per day for eight weeks.7 Another double-blind trial using injected huperzine A confirmed a positive effect in people with dementia, including, but not limited to, Alzheimer's disease. |

SOY, SOY EVERYWHERE, DROPS OF SLUDGE TO EAT
Try to find a chocolate bar, ice cream or other readymade food at the supermarket or health food store that doesn't contain small amounts of soy lecithin. That's the challenge for people who are allergic to soy. Lecithin isn't supposed to contain any of the soybean's allergenic protein, but there's always the chance that a bit might remain. |
Russell L. Blaylock, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Remember, brain disorders are most often accompanied by defects in the gatekeeper mechanism, the blood-brain barrier, and stress and poor nutrition further increase the defects in this protective system.
As a neurosurgery resident in the 1970s, I saw only one case of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in five years. The head of the neurology department also stated that he rarely saw such cases. Today, ALS cases are not at all infrequent. While many factors may account for this dramatic rise, I believe that the massive addition of excitotoxins to our food supply plays a major role in this increase. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The US National Alliance for the Mentally 111, a grassroots organization of individuals with brain disorders, and their families, for example, received almost $12 million from 18 drug companies between 1996 and 1999.27
All this money influences the democratic process because the people who receive it spread the message pharma wants governments to hear, that people are crying out for their drugs. Says Bakan,
Democracy requires, at a minimum, some measure of equality of opportunity to participate in the political process. |

Plastics and Plasticizers
Common plastic additives include phthalates, a substance that makes plastics flexible, and bisphenol, which is used to line food packaging. Since plastics are so widely used, phthalates and bisphenols are now said to be the most abundant industrial contaminants in the environment. At room temperature, phthalates evaporate from products that contain them, producing that characteristic "new plastic" smell. |

See book keywords and concepts |  With heart disease, cancer, brain disorders, diabetes and obesity all wrapped up in one single ingredient, any food made with that ingredient is following a recipe for disaster.
Speaking of disaster, how is it that trans fats cause all this damage in the first place? What's really happening at the cellular level to make these oils so dangerous?
How trans fats cause such damage to the health of the human body
Since trans fatty acids are unnatural fats, the body hasn't developed a specific way to deal with them, so it treats them like real fats and just does the best it can. |
Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts |  This artificial fat directly causes cardiovascular heart disease, it destroys normal cardiovascular health, it destroys the healthy functioning of the nervous system, it causes brain disorders, it causes heart attacks -- it is one of the most prominent and yet toxic ingredients put into the food supply. It also causes birth defects and essential fatty acid deficiencies in both the mother and her fetus.
And it's put in foods on purpose, for the convenience of the food manufacturers. |
T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. and Thomas M. Campbell II
See book keywords and concepts |  Other research shows that various cancers, autoimmune diseases, bone health, kidney health, vision and brain disorders in old age (like cognitive dysfunction and Alzheimer's) are convincingly influenced by diet. Most importantly, the diet that has time and again been shown to reverse and/or prevent these diseases is the same whole foods, plant-based diet that I had found to promote optimal health in my laboratory research and in the China Study. The findings are consistent. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Again, this is critical to our understanding of the relationship to many brain disorders and mercury exposure.
Mercury and Multiple Sclerosis
Based on compelling evidence, the consensus in the medical community is that MS is an autoimmune disease. The big question is: what triggers this autoimmunity? There is growing evidence that a chronic viral infection (Herpes virus 7) plays a major role in this disorder, yet we also know that environmental and nutritional conditions can alter the course of the disease. |

Q High levels of aluminum have been found in the brains of some people with epilepsy. | | As with other brain disorders, such as schizophrenia and manic-depressive disorder, the hereditary pattern is complicated. At least four gene variations are linked to Alzheimer's disease.
All of them reduce the clearance, or increase the production, of beta-amyloid. A variation of a gene involved in the synthesis of beta-amyloid, located on chromosome 21, is associated with a rare type of Alzheimer's disease that typically begins between the ages of forty and fifty. | | In proper balance, aspartic acid is beneficial for neural and brain disorders; it has been found in increased levels in persons with epilepsy and in decreased levels in people with some types of depression. It is good for athletes and helps to protect the liver by aiding in the removal of excess ammonia.
Aspartic acid combines with other amino acids to form molecules that absorb toxins and remove them from the bloodstream. |
Leslie Taylor, ND
See book keywords and concepts |  This led the drug manufacturer to fund clinical trials on its use for brain disorders. In a double-blind placebo human trial (in 2000), researchers reported that a dosage of 360 mg per day of Anapsos given to patients with senile dementia improved cognitive performance, increased the blood supply to the brain, and also increased the electrical impulses in the brain.30 The results were better with Alzheimer's patients and those with mild dementia than those with severe dementia and extensive brain cell degeneration. |
