One item I will add, is that the intermediate stage from high glucose levels to fungal infections in the brain, is the same infection in the spine. I have made major progress with the spinal fungus but am still battling it with local Magnet therapy, FIR Belt Heat therapy, and Zapping therapy. No more headaches & brain pain, no more brain fog, and much more clear dreams during REM sleep.

I've read research where there was a connection found between, heart disease, Dementia, Parkinsons, diabetes, leaky gut, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, autism, depression from the effects of these fungal waste poisons in our bodies. And the sad part about all this is that the doctors are all still pretty clueless about the effects of fungus and mold on the human body. Doctor's are only every taught about drugs, bacteria, vaccines and viruses. They're pretty clueless about parasites as well from the research I've been read over the years.

Other things that I've been researching recently have also quite surprised me. Take spirochetes for example. This is another bacterial form that also has fungal behaviour. This means that spirochetes don't split into two when they reproduce. I watched a video which showed an immune system phagocyte ingest a spiral, corkscrew shaped spirochete in the blood. And then I saw the spirochete being digested inside the human phagocyte. Then suddenly -- bingo!! -- the parent spirochete was suddenly gone and it released 16 baby spirochetes as dark spores which then proceeded to eat and kill the phagocyte from the inside out. Our immune system is clueless on how to handle or stop these spirochetes. Check out this video and this video by Dr William Nordquist if you want some more hints and reasons for unstoppable chronic autoimmune diseases. These videos also try to answer the question, 'How do you kill spirochetes in the body? ' -- and the result from this research were very surprising...Colloidal Silver and iodine did not kill the spirochetes. Almost no effect at all. But honey and TCM did kill the spirochetes in large numbers. Can Lyme spirochetes hide in the same oral areas and gum pockets as ordinary oral spirochetes that cause gingivitis? Watch the videos.

Thanks for your post with video links. Most interesting and most appreciated.

However, I look back at swallowing mercury in the dentist chair and a few other things such as they peddling fluoride and mercury fillings at my own peril. Added to which the procedures which cost thousands of dollars and have caused havoc destroying the health of many.

I for one would have to become indebted and lose my home. Is that the way to go?

I have now lost three teeth this year, make daily efforts to stay above this situation. I hear very well what consequences one may be facing. I have no pain as I keep doing urine therapy but my mouth looks now like those of the head hunters in the trophics who file their teeth.

I have absolutely no confidence in allopathic med. and at eighty am doing actually quite well. So, what to do?

Namaste, Om

So, if fungal infection of the spine can be diagnosed, that can shed light on the possibility of Parkinson's in the future? And there is hope for preventing an existing spinal fungal infection from getting established in the brain?

I read that fungus can enter the body through a leaky gut and follow the tract of the vagus nerve from gut to brain. Probably either scenario is possible ...

I'd like to see a cadaver brain study done for Parkinson's disease, similar to this one done for Alzheimer's. http://www.nature.com/articles/srep15015

Perhaps it's not surprising that TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) works better than anything else to kill spirochetes. Herbs have complex chemistry, many different compounds within their cells. It's hard for a pathogen to adapt to resist a complex therapy.

So, there are a number of especially virulent pathogens (virus, fungus, bacteria, and of course the fungal/bacterial hybrid --mycoplasma) that can escape the compromised immune system as well as standard antibiotic therapy, and bone, spinal, and joint fluid seems like the main reservoirs for these P's.

I first started treating brain pain w/ magnet therapy a few yrs ago, and eventually needed to graduate to zapping which, again eventually, zapped my spine and my brain-fog was much reduced and sleep dreams were much clearer. Now my protocol is first do Magnet, then Fir Belt, then Zapping. A local Chiropractor or Massage Therapist could probably use some local natural antibiotics to penetrate those areas with further results.

As for diagnosis, well there is a very large school of scientific study now with the latest researchers, scholars, professionals, educators etc. in the latest format of presentations on YouTube; and there is that great disparagement with the "applied sciences" aka conventional diagnosis & treatment.

Not only do we have to cope with heavy metals in the teeth, we have to cope with bacterial pathogens infecting us by leaking into our blood supply from bleeding gums or root canals. Also consider that the oral cavity is very near the brain blood supply, so pathogens (as well as the mercury) can leak directly into the blood and go straight to the brain(as Dr Nordquist mentions in the videos).

It also strikes me that you could have the perfect remedy for every disease and you would still be outfoxed by these pathogens. Because they can hide away from your cure in many regions of the body inclusing mouth, intestines, nasopharynx region (behind the nose), backbone fluids, ears, et al. Most people think -- OK I'm taking this nutrient or drug that will definitely kill this pathogen and people seem completely happy with that view. But nobody ever considers or asks the question, "Hey, why is my cure not working?" or "Why does my disease keep coming back?". It isn't working probably because the killer nutrient you are taking cannot even reach or penetrate the pathogen's hidden hideaway or fortress eg biofilms. Or the pathogen has adjusted to it. Or you have been misdiagnosed (think lyme disease and candida) by the doc. If the docs have failed you badly then it all boils down to us successfully doctoring ourselves with a view to a cure and not, as seems to be the doc's habitual advice, just to manage your disease symptoms with truckloads of expensive, poisonous drugs for the rest of your life.

Zinc & Niacin deficiency is likely responsible for the people who do show symptoms of Aspartame toxicity, especially if they consume alcohol beverages regularly.

I was reading a reply to posting Dr. Nordquists you tube video on killing spirochaetes in the mouth and one of the group I am in, talked to a Dr. practicing Chinese medicine and he mentioned the eight ingredient chinese blend in the video is most likely Nin Jiam Peu Pa and has allot of honey in it and is very sweet. several patients in the jawbone group are purchasing to benefit their mouths before surgery. Remains to be seen for an outcome.

But thought you might like a name to research.

You're talking about headaches and brain fog. I was having that and sinus stuffiness, aches and pains all over, chronic fatigue, depression. And more. I'm like the poster child for thyroid deficiency. But by a stroke of God's mercy I stumbled on EarthClinic years ago and discovered the benefits of vinegar and baking soda. I stopped using moisturizer on my face and the sinus problem went away within a day. I stopped using conditioner on my hair and the brain fog and chronic fatigue went away. I actually was having a bad day, feeling very unmotivated, cranky, and washed my hair later that night and washed off the conditioner and felt much better within minutes. I felt so much better I went around cleaning the apartment. I used vinegar and baking soda instead of body wash and the aches and pains went away.

Vinegar seems to be especially refreshing. Rub it into your skin, pour it over your head, inhale the vapors (carefully); I put the vinegar on my hair as conditioner and blow dried my hair. Applying organic raw virgin coconut oil to my skin and scalp is very nice, too. It gets rid of the brain fog and fatigue. But it makes my hair too oily to use as conditioner, and leaves the ends too dry. Vinegar doesn't work for the ends, either. I use hand lotion.

Even if your problem is a fungus, you might want to try quitting all the chemicals, cologne, dish soap (wear gloves), etc. for a week. You may feel a great improvement.

You might also like parsley. It is one of the things that greatly improves my mood. It has glutathion, vitamin C, and chlorophyll. I put it in smoothies, a whole bunch at a time. Cherries, parsley, and a spoonful of frozen orange juice concentrate is very good. Or parsley and lemon juice, but in two separate cups, not mixed together, that tastes terrible.

I also make a drink from artichokes, lemons, and ginger.

How to make artichoke juice:

1. First juice the lemons so you can keep the artichokes from oxidizing. Four lemons per artichoke is what I use. Save the pulp if you want to add it in at the end.

2. Pour the juice into the cup of your high power smoothie maker and add a quarter of a large artichoke. Stem, thorns and all. The stem has a beautiful floral pine scent. You can add a little water if you have to, if the machine makes a lot more noise than usual you probably filled it too much.

3. Blend the ever living daylights out of the artichoke. It turns the juice a very delicate shade of green. If you don't have enough lemon it will darken.

4. Then pour the mixture through a towel layed in a strainer resting over a large bowl. Strain out the pulp carefully, artichokes have thorns. I squeeze the towel to extract the juice, the thorns don't hurt my hands. I also strain it twice, just to be safe.

5. Pour the strained liquid back into the cup and add another artichoke quarter.

6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 with remaining artichoke.

You can add the lemon pulp and thinly sliced ginger to the juice at the end, and blend, otherwise the lemon pulp will make straining out the thorns nearly impossible.

Parsely, artichoke juice, lemons, cherries, green tea, raw potatoes, beans. Cottage cheese, plain yogurt. All quite good. Green tea, cherries raise melatonin. No peanuts, wheat, milk, sugar, tomatoes.

This older lady I knew, they said she had Alzheimer's. They gave her meds for depression if I remember right. She used to drink diet soda, she baked for her church bake sales, she made wedding cakes for people. So you've got the fluoride?, aspartame, the caffeine, the bromide, the glyphosate, the high carbs. And she lived in the goiter belt. Oh yea, and she was constantly getting her hair permed, which adds ammonia? and God knows what else. She was nearly blind and deaf when she died. She was a wonderful lady who deserved better than what she got.

They say aspartame breaks down into formaldehyde and wood alcohol. Don't drink diet soda. And aspartame causes inflammation of the pancreas. Wood alcohol will make you blind. But they'll tell you it's diabetes doing all that, not aspartame?

Maybe the people in India don't get Alzheimer's because they're too poor to drink diet soda. And coffee. Let me tell you about coffee. Coffee (from what I've gleaned online) puts your body in the fight or flight mode. At the same time it causes your body to retain sodium and excrete potassium. This is to protect your heart from dehydration. While in the fight or flight mode your body does not do necessary maintenance as it normally would. Things get put on hold. Like your immune system for example. If you are constantly drinking coffee your body never has a chance to recover and keeps burning the wick at both ends, so to speak. This would create a lot of fatigue eventually (called adrenal fatigue) and lead to increasing amounts of disrepair and inflammation. Your insulin is always high because caffeine raises insulin. Is this starting to look like diabetes? Now add aspartame to your caffeinated diet soda. You've got high insulin, chronic inflammation, formaldehyde, wood alcohol, high blood pressure, dehydration, and low blood sugar. Or do you prefer Splenda? They say 15% of Splenda is indeed digested. That means a tasty sugar and chlorine beverage. What's wrong with ingesting spoonfuls of chlorine? Right?

Rant.

But the sun is out today and the birds are singing. And EarthClinic is awesome :)

You might want to supplement vitamin A, E, and C, and take some omega 3s if you've been on the caffeine rollercoaster.

In my current situation I haven't the wherewithal to do all the kitchen recipes you suggest. The extent of kitchen remedies is making Liposomal Vit-C and Colloidal Silver, so I simply rely heavily on supplements.

Yes, I do keep chemical exposures to a minimum. As for the fungus in my spine, it has recently made a comeback as I have not been zapping properly & effectively, so it's gonna take a few wks to get the fungal infections that have spread through out my body killed back. Taking Chitosan helps very much to prevent the absorption of those spores in the gut, but I do not take daily as I should; anyway, now focusing on zapping my entire spine. Using magnets prior to zapping helps very much.

I constantly drink watered down coffee/black tea for a minimal caffeine which seems good for me. Tyrosine is great for the Thyroid, energy, and mood, but currently I can only use occasionally as it raises my BP. Lot's of St John'sWort to fight the Hep and boost the mood. I listen to lots of healing harmonics on YT which helps. Here's one I like and would love to share.
