What "THEY'VE" done to us and it's worse than Paxilon Hydrochlorate (HA, I'M RIGHT, YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST...SULFUR AND AUTISM ARE LINKED)

A new report from the advocacy group Autism Speaks looks at how and why the neurodevelopmental disorder may be linked to other health problems, including difficulty sleeping, digestive distress, epilepsy, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), eating challenges, depression, bipolar disorder and anxiety..

Ok, for years now the medical community has been saying certain neurological disorders are connective tissue disorders. Connective tissue holds together every part of our body together, even fat and brain. The tissue in different parts can be too loose OR too tight, with varying effects. In the lungs you get asthma, in the skin you may get eczema...




I am Dyspraxic (variable neuro-motor disorder) and I have a connective tissue joint problem. I have a sulfite intolerance as well. ( just learned my aunt and my cousin have Sulfa drug allergies a few minutes ago)

My spouse has Aspergers and a nickel sulfate intolerance. His mother is allergic to sulfa drugs, and his father to onions (high sulfur)

My neighbor is Bi-polar and has diabetes and her mother was allergic to corn (high amounts of sulfur)









What I am saying is that sulfur is in more foods now than at any time in HISTORY. It is in literally 90% of processed foods, and half of all natural foods. Anywhere you see SULF it means there is a sulfur ion in that food.

>>>>>>>>>>* WE ARE ALL OVERDOSING ON IT EVERY DAY. *<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<





It is a drug. It kills bacteria. It is used in pesticides and gunpowder. It is an irritant and breathing it in can cause your lungs to cease function. It is used in medicine (sulfa drugs) to prevent bacteria from multiplying.

It also makes bread fluffier, and foods last longer on the shelf.










It ALSO dries out the systems of people with connective tissue disorders and the body responds by holding on to as much fat as it can to compensate and soothe the inflammation. In turn the fat uses the sulfur to make more connective tissue to store MORE FAT. More fat means more sulfur, until you hit overload and cause massive damage to various body systems. It just depends on where your connective tissue DNA is weak...

Just imagine rubbing sulfur and salt on your skin for a minute. What do you think that does to your intestines??


>>>>> *IT IS WHY THE OBESITY RATES HAVE GONE UP SO FAR *<<<<<<<<<<<<<










Sulfur is used in the body to create and repair connective tissues, even in utero it forms the brain, and if you cannot process it correctly?? It causes neurological issues in the child because the connections between neurons vary during formation. Connections that vary cause disorders that vary from day to day, which would explain why bi-polars are ok one day and not the next, why A.D.D. people have good days and bad days, because the brain isn't stationary, it moves slightly when it has defective connective tissue....which means that the neurons align better some days than others!


>>>>>>>>>>* IT IS WHY AUTISM RATES HAVE GONE UP *<<<<<<<<<<<



How is this possible?? Food intolerances can build for YEARS without ANY SYMPTOMS ....WHAT..SO..EVER. The only symptom I had for two decades was occasional headaches and ONE rash. There is a report that five percent of men and nine percent of women have experienced adverse and unusual reactions to alcohol... ALCOHOL CONTAINS A TON OF SULFITES TO KEEP IT FROM SPOILING.



If I am right, if you factor in all the people who don't drink...

OVER 20 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION HAS A SULFUR/SULFITE/SULFATE INTOLERANCE!


I know I've been harping this to death, but I truly believe it is a major problem. I don't know where to send this or what to do with it, so if anyone has any ideas...I'd love to hear them...

In 5-10 years I think everyone will know, it's going to be HUGE.



If I figured this out I know that the government or scientists HAVE TO KNOW and have done nothing. And I think it is because it would cost the food industries TRILLIONS to remove sulfur and find another way to sell goods. They are killing us for money!!!

And we EAT IT...

I found out last night that the myelin in the brain is formed from a type of sulfate, so... smoking gun here...

Obviously if the DNA can't handle it there will be problems...




UPDATE! PROVED RIGHT!

https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-02-links-autism-specific-cell-pave

People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) appear to suffer malfunctions in a cell that produces a special coating around nerve fibers that facilitates efficient electrical communication across the brain. And correcting it could offer a potential new avenue for treatment, according to a new study published today in the journal Nature Neuroscience from scientists at the Lieber Institute for Brain Development (LIBD).

I have mentioned this before, but I'm not sure if it was to you: The film Lorenzo's Oil, based on true story and revolving around the loss of myelin, gives good background on it. It's like the insulator around wires, but in the body it insulates the chemicals which are transferring electricity, otherwise the electrical signals get grounded out.

Yes, I've heard of it.

I think if sulfites were reduced to maybe a quarter of current levels that Autism, ADD, Asthma, Eczema, EDS and all the other related issues could be reduced by HALF. I don't think these issues could be completely eradicated, because DNA will always find a way to mutate. And I think there will always be people who eat crap while pregnant, get drunk, do drugs...

The first step here is to developing better tests. Right now there is only an inaccurate experimental test.

Even without testing, if pregnant women who have health issues themselves, or who were overweight were recommended to reduce their sulfite consumption levels, I think it could make an impact now. I've dropped 30 lbs just taking out sulfites, and I still eat plenty.

Not that this country understands ANYTHING well, much less healthy eating...

How long ago did you start taking out sulfites, and are you still losing weight, or how long did it take to lose 30 lbs.? Were there other dietary changes at the same time?

Two YEARS. Apparently, your body stores the sulfites up and once you stop consuming them your systems start scavenging them from your fat, but it takes a while ...Every other woman I've met that went off sulfites has lost weight, and one of them now fits into her 6 yr old granddaughters clothes (she was NEVER able to lose weight, but now that she can I think she's maybe taken it too far, but she seems happy).

I lost it from my lower arms and legs and then my stomach. I can see the musculature underneath that I haven't seen since high school (I had great abs at one time). I also had to start exfoliating every other day, either because the sulfites slow skin cell growth or because the dead cells were coming through my skin. I feel like I am slowly shedding my old dumb self.

Ironically, I brought hubby along for the ride and his thyroid tumor has shrunk, and he's lost a few (can't get him to give up pork completely).
THEN we figured out that his metal allergy was in fact a sulfate issue, because they add sulfates to most metals these days to get them to harden faster.

BTW, I know a half dozen other people that the autism-sulf link appears in as well, but didn't want to bog down the finer points....

So the vaccinations create the "herd" to be carriers and distribute, disseminate it to the whole population.

The researchers found that the way genes express themselves in patients with autism, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder actually have a lot in common. Broadly, that includes fewer genes involved in signaling between neurons and more genes related to neuroinflammatory cells.

There are areas of clear divergence, too – an increase in genes related to a certain kind of neuroinflammatory cell was present in patients with autism, but not those with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.

I would just like to add that the reason Keto diets are working so well for some people that don't have epilepsy is because they are most likely reactive to sulfur in some way or have connective tissue defects and it has dried them out and caused inflammation. Once you balance the levels of healthy fats -if you have those issues- your body no longer needs to hold on to all the extra.

Yes.

Keto diets are about burning fat for energy, instead of carbs.

In a compromised fat system, the body holds onto what it can. Once it gets a steady supply of what it wants, it no longer holds onto the rest and uses it for fuel instead.

I've been adding more Keto diet foods and I've dropped another 10 lbs. During WINTER, moving LESS than usual. I wouldn't have EVER bet on that happening.

They talk here about dried potato flakes and peanut butter and shelf stable preservative filled foods and obesity in Native American tribes...

Dried potato flakes have so much sulfite in them they make me throw up. Peanut butter gives me stomach cramps that are so violent they mimic the other effects of a heart attack.

It's awful we as a country are still trying to kill them off.

Both of her parents worked full time, but "it just wasn't enough to support a family," she says. They relied on government provisions for meals. Breakfast was often a grain like farina served with powdered milk with water added to it. "A lot of times we had mashed potato flakes — you add water, too – and maybe canned peaches, and if you had any vegetables, it was canned. And that was pretty much it."

The effects of this kind of government commodities-based diet can be seen all around Indian country, says Jernigan, now a University of Oklahoma researcher who studies the impacts of food environments on Native American health. "There's even a name for it – it's called 'commod bod.' That's what we call it because it makes you look a certain way when you eat these foods."

The name, she says, is a joke, but the health implications of this kind of diet are anything but funny. American Indians and Alaska Natives are at least twice as likely as whites to have Type 2 diabetes, and they have 1 1/2 times the rate of obesity as non-Hispanic whites, according to the government statistics.

Scientists think one explanation for these health differences may lie in what is called the "thrifty gene" theory, which suggests Native Americans have a genetic predisposition to obesity and diabetes. But these diseases didn't become prevalent until tribes adopted a more processed Western diet, notes Elizabeth Hoover, who is of Mohawk and Mi'kmaq ancestry and teaches about indigenous food movements at Brown University.

Reviewing this, I wonder if Native Americans can adopt more agrarian practice. They seem to have available unimproved land, not apparently used for much. Are the lands they have not rich in agricultural fioundations?
Even cities now have urban agri-centers, producing fresh veggies, fish, etc within buildings or greenhouses. If Tribes have disused manpower, could they not develop resources like this? Are there Federal regulations prohibiting Native Americans from this agricultural freedom and autonomy?

It actually costs quite a bit of time and money to grow veggies. Tillers, irrigation equipment, seeds, fertilizer, know how.

I cannot speak for the fertility and economic situations of all tribal lands, but I would not want to be a gardener, either.

Between the arthritis, the outdoor allergies, and the heat intolerance, it's really not a possibility for me. Growing edible crops is also not as easy as just sticking seeds in the ground.

Most of the poverty on reservations is due to lack of jobs because people don't invest in poor areas, and because they don't own land and cannot mortgage it as an asset to build a business, and because EVERY business has to go through dozens of approvals processes. Their young that are intelligent enough leave and don't come back.

You should look into urban agra centers, in vacant buildings and vacant parking lots. They also have free training programs, to spread the movement. Sounds like yu are not familiar. It is essentially indoors.

I had been under the impression these were more common. Either I'm just not finding them, or they are less prevalent.

It's awful we as a country are still trying to kill them off.

Both of her parents worked full time, but "it just wasn't enough to support a family," she says. They relied on government provisions for meals. Breakfast was often a grain like farina served with powdered milk with water added to it. "A lot of times we had mashed potato flakes — you add water, too – and maybe canned peaches, and if you had any vegetables, it was canned. And that was pretty much it."

The effects of this kind of government commodities-based diet can be seen all around Indian country, says Jernigan, now a University of Oklahoma researcher who studies the impacts of food environments on Native American health. "There's even a name for it – it's called 'commod bod.' That's what we call it because it makes you look a certain way when you eat these foods."

The name, she says, is a joke, but the health implications of this kind of diet are anything but funny. American Indians and Alaska Natives are at least twice as likely as whites to have Type 2 diabetes, and they have 1 1/2 times the rate of obesity as non-Hispanic whites, according to the government statistics.

Scientists think one explanation for these health differences may lie in what is called the "thrifty gene" theory, which suggests Native Americans have a genetic predisposition to obesity and diabetes. But these diseases didn't become prevalent until tribes adopted a more processed Western diet, notes Elizabeth Hoover, who is of Mohawk and Mi'kmaq ancestry and teaches about indigenous food movements at Brown University.



This last piece is exactly right. It was the introduction of European foods, white flour, sugar and the like that has cause obesity and diabetes rates to sky rocket in American and Canadian Indians. I've known that for years.

Reviewing this, I wonder if Native Americans can adopt more agrarian practice. They seem to have available unimproved land, not apparently used for much. Are the lands they have not rich in agricultural fioundations?
Even cities now have urban agri-centers, producing fresh veggies, fish, etc within buildings or greenhouses. If Tribes have disused manpower, could they not develop resources like this? Are there Federal regulations prohibiting Native Americans from this agricultural freedom and autonomy?



Outside of what Wishi said, the American government DID not give us the best land for growing or hunting on in the beginning.

They stopped doing a lot of urban grow projects because people would steal EVERYTHING including the equipment, all the produce, and then sell it off.
Poor people tend to do that...

This is part of what I was wondering. I know some of it was substandard. Was all of it?
And now, with these new Ag practices, essentially indoors and year-round in wintery climates, can these be utilized to counter the disadvantage that Tribes have? Can a Nation just have Tribal land allocated to build upon, or improve upon, and generate produce by and for Tribal members? Or is there too much drug addiction to withstand the actions that Wishi described, like theft, of TribL property?

JSF, you have to understand that what you are talking about in the here and now has it roots in what happened 200years ago.

Tribes in the US that I knew about that were agriculturally based before the European arrival were the Hopi and Cherokee.

I looked up also the Zuni as well as the Omaha and the Ponca.

Tribes like the Dakota, Cheyenne, Crow, Apache, my own and others were not agricultural to begin with. Hunters and gatherers.

Your ancestors had centuries to get into a stationary society. We had it foisted on us by the US gov. We were told to change a whole way of living, a whole way of thinking in a year or two. Government agents would watch us to make sure we were "learning" how to do all this.

Weapons such as guns were taken away that we hunted with and then the government decided maybe some of those should be given back. Trade in alcohol, residential schools.

This has all played into what has happened. Tribes are working on getting out of it. It takes time, 200years of wrong isn't going to be fixed in 50years. This is my feeling and what I know of the subject.

Yes, thanks.

The ag-based Tribes were also nomadic, right? Planted crops and returned later to harvest, right? I remember corn graineries have been found from centuries ago.

Yes, JSF...growing corn will fix EVERYTHING.

It'll totally make up for lack of industry, isolation, poverty, and a century or two of institutionalization.

No they weren't. Hopi and Zuni were Pueblo Indians which is why they had graineries that are now being found archaeologically.

I hope this is not off-topic.

I knew about Aspertame stripped away Myelin (see film Lorenzo's Oil for good Myelin info), leading to paralysis. But this was info I had from 15-20 years ago.

Didn't know about the mental illness caused by it (aka NutraSweet}, how it relates to consumption of other products:
