Reversing Alzheimer's Disease
In the United States one of the ways politicians, industrialists and
the medical industry manipulate results of bona fide research of hazardous
products is to appoint their own people to management positions within
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection
Agency. Another method is to persuade foundations and government agencies
to give research grants that the power structures surreptitiously control.
The National Institute of Health gave a grant to the University of Kentucky
to explore the connection between methylmercury from silver dental fillings
and Alzheimer's disease. Unfortunately, it appears the inquiry may have
been compromised.

Mercury in Dental Fillings Does Not Appear to Cause Alzheimer’s
Lexington, KY (Feb. 8, 1999) – Mercury used in dental fillings does not
appear to cause Alzheimer’s disease according to a new study by the University
of Kentucky researchers. “Our key finding is no relationship whatsoever
between mercury found in the brain and amalgam. Although very small amounts
of mercury are released from dental amalgam, generally when rubbed or abraded
due to brushing or eating, it (mercury) is not taken up by the brain.”
The study was published in the Journal of the American Dental Association
(JADA), in February of 1999. By their own words, the ADA is not a medical
association; it is a “trade organization.” The Journal of the American
Dental Association (JADA) is not a medical journal, it is a “trade publication.”
One would expect the above research to be published in a genuine medical
journal such as Lancet, the New England Journal of Medicine or Neurotoxicology.
The fact that it was not published by such journals, raises serious concern.
The results presented flies in the face of hundreds of research papers
from Germany, Sweden, Canada, Australia and the United States about this
specific issue.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain trace-element imbalances in the amygdala,
hippocampus and nucleus basalis of Meynert (nbM) are found in most cases
to be consistent with those previously reported in samples derived principally
from AD cerebral cortex (Ehmann et al., 1986). The elevation of mercury
in AD nbM, as compared to age-matched controls, is the largest trace-element
imbalance observed to date in AD brain. In addition to the general confirmation
of imbalances for Cs, Hg, N, Na, P, and Rb noted previously in cerebral
cortex samples, imbalances for Fe, K, Sc, and Zn were observed in two regions
and one region also exhibited imbalances for both Co and Se. Persistent
imbalances for the univalent cations Na, K, Rb and Cs support arguments
for a membrane abnormality in AD. The data presented here also provide the
first comprehensive simultaneous multi-element determinations in both control
and AD nbM.
The combination of the acid environment of the mouth, bacteria and mercury
within silver dental fillings produce methylmercury, a toxic poison, that
has an affinity for brain and neurological tissue.
This photograph was taken of a twenty-eight year old man's brain that
died of Minamatta disease (methylmercury poisoning) from eating contaminated
fish. A thin black ring of mercury surrounds the outside of the arterial
wall of the main blood vessel supplying the brain. The arterial wall has
thickened causing restricted blood flow (atherosclerosis). Mercury also
binds to the oxygen carrying sites on the hemoglobin (Oxygen carrying
sights on red blood cells). In addition, mercury poisoning causes the
body to slow down normal production of stomach acid (HCl) producing putrefaction
and Candida overgrowth that bores through the intestines and causes cerebral
food allergy (brain-fog). The brain suffers blood and oxygen deprivation.
It literally starves to death. Research connecting chronic low level methylmercury
poisoning to atherosclerosis, Candida overgrowth, food allergy, brain-fog,
short term memory loss and the final stages of Alzheimer's disease will
be presented in my new book, Reversing Alzheimer's Disease.
