On the charcoal- my old naturopath said not to take with other medicines or supplements for two hours before ingestion and three hours after as it really does mop everything up. I agree charcoal and chlorella and baking soda are all healthy additions to cleanse the body, and are fairly inexpensive (chlorella being the most costly of the 3.

Yes, Inez, very good. That's one of my reasons for trying to find affordable and practical medicines and/or herbs/supplements that we have easy, everyday access to - to help us fight illness and to feel better.

Do we get beneficial sun rays through glass? Sun Rays: Harmful or Beneficial? www.exploringwomanhood.com/mindbodysoul/beauty/sun.htm"The most dangerous sun is between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Sun rays penetrate glass windows, so being in the sunny spot inside your house or while driving is just as dangerous as being outside." |

I wonder if there's any kind of plant or fungi that releases seeds or spores every other month... since that's what my version of morgs seems to do. I cycle every other 3 weeks or so, then things calm down for 3 weeks or so. Just wondering...

"Iron-binding proteins en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron-binding_proteinsIron-binding proteins are carrier proteins and metalloproteins which play many important roles in metabolism. They bind Iron and can therefore inhibit microbial growth. Two iron-binding proteins are lactoferrin and transferrin." Lactoferrin en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactoferrin"Lactoferrin belongs to the innate immune system. Apart from its main biological function, namely binding and transport of iron ions, lactoferrin also has antibacterial, antiviral, antiparasitic, catalytic, anti-cancer, anti-allergic and radioprotecting functions and properties.[21] Antibacterial activity Antibacterial activity of lactoferrin is best studied; it originates from the iron-binding properties of lactoferrin, which deprive the bacterial flora from an element necessary for its growth.[22] Antibacterial action of lactoferrin is also explained by the presence of specific receptors on the cell surface of microorganisms. Antiviral activity Lactoferrin acts, mostly in vitro, on a wide range of human and animal viruses based on DNA and RNA genomes,[28] including the herpes simplex virus 1 and 2,[29][30] cytomegalovirus,[31] HIV,[30][32] hepatitis C virus,[33][34] hantaviruses, rotaviruses, poliovirus type 1,[35] human respiratory syncytial virus and murine leukemia viruses.[26] Antifungal activity Lactoferrin and lactoferricin inhibit in vitro growth of Trichophyton mentagrophytes, which are responsible for several skin diseases such as ringworm.[37] Lactoferrin also acts against the Candida albicans – a diploid fungus (a form of yeast) that causes opportunistic oral and genital infections in humans. Cystic fibrosis The human lung and saliva contain a wide range of antimicrobial compound including lactoperoxidase system, producing hypothiocyanite and lactoferrin, while hypothiocyanite is missing in cystic fibrosis patients.[50] Lactoferrin, a component of innate immunity, prevents bacterial biofilm development." Lactoferrin + EDTA en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDTA"Medicine EDTA is used to bind metal ions in the practice of chelation therapy, e.g., for mercury and lead poisoning.[11] It is used in a similar manner to remove excess iron from the body. EDTA is in such widespread use that it has emerged as a persistent organic pollutant.[21] It degrades to ethylenediaminetriacetic acid, which then cyclizes to the diketopiperizide, a cumulative, persistent, organic environmental pollutant. An alternative chelating agent with fewer environmental pollution implications is EDDS." EDDS en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylenediamine-N,N%27-disuccinic_acid "EDDS is a biodegradable chelating agent that offers an alternative to EDTA, of which 80 million kilograms are produced annually. Under natural conditions, EDTA has been found to convert to ethylenediaminetriacetic acid and then cyclize to the diketopiperizide, which accumulates in the environment as a persistent organic pollutant.[8] As an environmentally friendly alternative, (S,S)-EDDS can thus be used as a substitute for EDTA in its myriad applications. These uses usually revolve around removing or deactivating metal cations." **Lactoferrin is the traffic cop that rounds up the excess metals - EDTA/EDDS is the cop that throws them in jail or out of the body. |

I think that lactoferrin and metal chelation may help in dealing with internal biofilms and the pathogens that thrive there. www.coe.montana.edu/biofilmbook/MODULE_01/Mod01_Grn/Mod01_S04_Grn.htmInteresting info on biofilm and Iron... especially Module 7 In biofilms, poor antibiotic penetration, nutrient limitation and slow growth, adaptive stress responses, and formation of persister cells are hypothesized to constitute a multi-layered defense. The poor efficacy of antimicrobials against biofilm embedded bacteria likely contributes to the inability of antibiotics or antimicrobial components of the host defenses to resolve some persistent infections. It has been well demonstrated that bacteria within biofilms are hundreds to thousands of times more resistant to antibiotics and biocides than their free floating (planktonic) forms. Recent research has suggested that biofilm bacteria are phenotypically distinct from their planktonic counterparts. Many of the bacterial genes involved in biofilm formation are controlled by the same regulatory systems that control virulence factors. I think this means that without iron, pathogens are motile. Motile pathogens are affected by antibiotics and antivirals etc.... Sessile (settled down into and protected by biofilm) are prone to developing immunity from the same antibiotics and antivirals ect... Three potential aids in clearing biofilm Iron Chelation Iron is emerging as an important signal in normal biofilm development. Iron concentrations are very low in vivo. *The availability of iron appears to govern the rate of staphylococcal biofilm development on venous catheters. An early stage of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm development involves the association of bacteria with the surface in an active state of twitching motility. **When sufficient iron is available, the bacteria cease twitching and begin building stationary cell clusters. *** When there is not sufficient iron available, for example in the presence of added lactoferrin or some other iron chelator, the bacteria continue twitching motility and never settle down to construct a three-dimensional biofilm. The use of natural or synthetic iron scavenging compounds could be a way of limiting biofilm formation in a wound in vivo. Enzymes... One attractive, and still underdeveloped, strategy for biofilm control is to target the gelatinous matrix of the biofilm rather than the cells themselves. If the extracellular polymers that hold the biofilm together could be disrupted or degraded, the biofilm would disperse and its innate defenses would be subverted. Enzymes are one way this might be realized. For example, a hexosaminidase that specifically cleaves the primary extracellular polymer of many staphylococcal biofilms has been recently described. This enzyme, termed Dispersin B, has demonstrated remarkable efficacy in disrupting and removing Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilms in the Stewart laboratory. *An enzyme cocktail could be considered for topical wound treatment as a way of loosening and removing biofilm. Electricity... Weak electric fields enhance the efficacy of antibiotics against bacterial biofilms. This phenomenon, termed the “bioelectric effect,” was discovered by Dr. J.W. Costerton and has been further investigated by Drs. McLeod and Stewart. Because of the ready accessibility for the placement of small wires or coils, a chronic wound may be a relatively straightforward context within which to test this technology. www.hhmi.org/news/lu20070605.html more on possible enzyme treatments This makes me very wary of cheap inorganic forms of vitamins and MINERALS ( especially iron, magnesium etc.) These may cause more harm as they are not as easily absorbed by the body as are the ones derived from plant sources ( the plants have transformed the inorganics forms into organic forms) Xib |

What am I releasing kammy? In the beginning of this mess, you could actually see tiny little brown "seeds" sprouting off my head every time I started to feel the movement. Nowadays, it's more like hundreds (if not thousands) of the tiny "particles" that seems to be dispersed out the ends of my hairs. I guess you could say it's about the same thing as when spores are released.

Hey xiblanque, welcome... I think your cute 'doggie' avatar photo has blown the thread out of proportion and makes it hard to read... a smaller photo? or it just might be my computer? Anyway, welcome, and thanks for your input - we need all the help we can get. Banny - I think this deserves a thread of its own. I'm looking around and it is vast as to what it could be. It would be nice if each of us could take an aspect of the disease that is most bothering us and start a thread on it. We have one for lesions and fibers going, but not one for the black/brown specks. My initial experience was these mole-like growths on the top of my scalp that were brown in color, they were gritty and sandy-feeling, when I'd scratch them off, they'd come right back. It reminded me of the cap of a mushroom. And then when all the specks started flying out of my head - it reminded me of a mushroom sporing. And the stem was down in the scalp that I could not get out, it felt like a tube was going down into the scalp. Not to say that we ate some bad mushrooms, necessarily (but who knows, it could be in the mix for some of us?), I used to eat quite a bit of them - uncooked mostly in salads... I see that mushrooms and algae are close. These spores can be in the gills of the mushroom or in the stems. www.salviasupply.com/articles/mushroom-spores"The protozoan spores. Protozoans called sporozoans are spore-producing parasites that may cause diseases such as malaria." A few other researchers have mentioned the protozoa evidence in our disease, we'd have to look up to see what they've said. When you look up 'protozoa': en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protozoa"Historically protozoa were defined as single cell protists with animal-like behavior, e.g. movement. Protozoa were regarded as the partner group of protists to protophyta which have plant-like behaviour, e.g. photosynthesis. The term algae is used for microorganisms that photosynthesize." ** I believe I see a sea algae in our mix. Mushrooms, algae, fungi are all closely related. These areas on my scalp went away but are back now. They feel like they are filled with sebum. Do you have any small bumps or raised areas on your scalp? What's interesting is that you're saying the spores are coming out the ends of your hairs where mine were coming directly from the scalp itself. I have plucked a 'wild hair' and looked at it under the microscope and it looks like tiny 'critters' are marching up the shaft on the inside. It could be that whatever the spore/parasite is - definitely has motility (moves), and after the end of its trip - it could come on out the end of the hair? I haven't heard of this before, but, I guess anything is possible with this disease. What we need is a thread dedicated to 'brown/black specks - spores, protozoa?' - something like that and let you talk about how it does this every 3 weeks and what you've found that helps, etc. And others could give their input, etc. What do you think? |

CHARCOAL I'm off studying carbon and I see that a way to help the soil re-gain its nutrients, etc., is with this stuff called 'biochar'. Which might be an important tidbit of information to know if we ever have to grow our own gardens and need to 'wash' the soil before we plant: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biochar"Animal feed Before incorporating biochar into the soil, it also has use as dietary supplement for animals, and traditionally as charcoal biscuits for humans. These reports are possibly dubious however, and a veterinary should be consulted before animals are exposed. The effects of this are to provide additional minerals, maintain a healthy digestive system, reduce flatulence (which is a source of methane), and reduce the odour of and ammonia emissions from slurry (i.e. sweeten the dung). However raising the pH of dung causes huge ammonia-N losses, so this practice is also dubious. Use of highly alkaline and especially high potash biochar in animal grazing systems could lead directly to grass tetany, a severe and sudden ailment that is often fatal to milking cows." **I see - "and traditionally as charcoal biscuits for humans" and wonder what that is? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charcoal_biscuit"In modern times charcoal biscuits are made in the form of crackers to accompany cheeses. The biscuits have a slight hint of charcoal taste that is described by some as pleasing.[6][7] The biscuits are also been marketed as a pet care product to control flatulence in pets, and as aids to digestion or stomach problem in humans." ** I think that we all should have activated charcoal on hand in our medicine cabinets at all times, it can save your life and a hospital trip in the event of food poisoning. I have never heard of dog or people charcoal biscuits but think this is a good idea for folks with pets. That they need to be detoxing too, common sense tells us that the pollutants in the environment have to be in their food too. I found the videos about how metal filing shavings are in the cereals and in the iron reduced or fortified foods - I hope all of you are testing your foods with magnets, this may seem odd but we have to learn how to protect ourselves in ways we're not used to. And, test your pet's food too. Here's one put out by a doctor: Metal Filings In Your Freaking Cereal www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ahlawrQHeA |

Yes, ty, much better, what a cute cat! Is that a cat or a dog? ;D I'm reading it xiblanque, looks like it's full of good information:
"For example, the fatty tissue of every person tested contains styrene, dichloro-benzene, xylene, ethylphenol, and dioxin. Over 90% contain benzene, DDE, and toluene. Even DDT, banned for use in the USA since 1972, is still found in 55% of tissue samples tested. This DDT is coming mostly from imported foods, from countries where it is still used in farming.
Analyses of collected chemtrail residues find various metal particles and metallic compounds. These include aluminum, barium, cadmium, chromium, nickel, magnesium, manganese, iron, strontium, thorium, titanium, and zinc.* The metals most frequently found are aluminum and barium. Barium, a heavy metal, and its compounds are very toxic inside the human body. Barium toxicity is similar to arsenic poisoning. "
This is what I'm looking at VERY closely on another thread.
These are some things we need tested for!

=(wolf pup chewing on a blade of grass =)
I have found some other detox E-books online, especially since the Gulf of Mexico Disaster. I am always amazed that many of the protocols and detox methods are the same treatments and regimens that some of us use for Morgellons. Lots of mention of charcoal used internally. There have been even more E-books on Detoxing since the disaster in Japan.
Maybe I'll add some more links.

Still quoting from the e-book above: "Why Your Immune System Needs Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) Two essential fatty acids (EFAs)* are the most important fats that you need to include in your daily diet. You can safely reduce some other fats in your diet, but not these. They are linoleic acid (LA) and alphalinolenic acid (ALA). Their best sources with the highest, unaltered concentrations are unrefined vegetable oils. Your body cannot make LA or ALA, but must have them for many vital body processes. That is why they are called essential and must be supplied in your diet. These fatty acids help prevent and correct several degenerative diseases. EFA DEFICIENCY SYMPTOMS Abnormal fatigue Kidney malfunction Arthritis Lack of coordination Arteries, hardening Learning defects in children Blood clots Liver degeneration Cancerous conditions Miscarriage Circulatory problems Mood changes, depression Dry, scaly skin Poor wound healing Membrane dryness Skin diseases Skin eruptions Sterility Stunted Growth Tingling in extremities Hair loss Vision problems High blood pressure Water loss due to skin weakness " How do we get "unrefined vegetable oils", it seems everything is refined...? No wonder we're sick: Ok, you cooking ladies - do you know a good oil, do you get it at the health food store? What kinds are you using? www.google.de/#hl=de&source=hp&q=unrefined+vegetable+oils&btnG=Google-Suche&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=unrefined+vegetable+oils&fp=caadbcd4cd6b4584 |
