Bromine Toxicity and Organophosphate Poisoning: How Toxins Cause Gulf War Syndrome

Gulf War Syndrome Cure: Lugol’s Iodine 2%

It doesn't matter whether you were given pyridostigmine or if you were exposed to oil-fire smoke, Lugol's iodine will improve you health. Start with selenium supplementation and other supportive nutrients though or you might suffer from a severe Bromine Detoxification Reaction that might make you think you're getting worse instead of better. Is there a cure for Gulf War Syndrome? Lydian, my daughter, and I work as medical detectives. We look for scientifically validated, or anecdotally supported cures for diseases. And as we were working on a book about autoimmune disease cures, we stumbled across the drug Pyridostigmine in the literature. Curious about this medicine, I did a search and read a bit about it. Sometimes older medicines like Pyridostigmine turn out to be valuable and useful...

Lugol’s Iodine Therapy as a Cure for Parasite Infections, Lyme Disease, and Autoimmune Disease

Lugol's Iodine: An Essential Nutrient for Those with Lyme Disease, Autoimmune Disease, and Parasite Infections What is Lugol’s Iodine? Lugol’s iodine may not seem like the kind of thing that would cure a parasite infection, Lyme disease, or autoimmune disease, but this mineral has become globally important today as a cure for many serious illnesses. When we talk with people about “iodine therapy”, listeners often think we’re talking about povidone iodine, the stuff you can buy at the pharmacy to clean a wound. But Lugol’s iodine is different. While Povidone Iodine contains ingredients that make it so this substance will stay present on the skin for long-periods of time, Lugol’s iodine contains molecular iodine and potassium iodide, a combination that can be taken internally by mouth to m...

Iodine Deficiency and the Gallbladder: The Gallbladder-Thyroid Connection and How Iodine Therapy Can Help

Kelp and seaweed are some of the best dietary forms of iodine. Iodine Therapy, Thyroid Health, and Gallstones/Gallbladder Health At first glance, the gallbladder and the thyroid wouldn’t seem to be connected at all. In fact, most people would assume that the function of one would have little to do with the other. But, in reality, the health of the thyroid gland heavily impacts the health of the gallbladder. The thyroid plays a vital role in hormone health and balance, and the gallbladder is sensitive to the presence (or lack thereof) of certain hormones. The gallbladder’s ability to function also can affect thyroid health. In either case, iodine therapy is an important natural treatment for gallbladder issues particularly through iodine’s effects on reproductive hormone levels. How...

Do organophosphate pesticides cause autoimmune disease?

How Pesticides Contribute to the Development of Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Autoimmune Thyroid Disease, Autoimmune Hepatitis, and Other Types of Autoimmune Disease The link between autoimmune disease and organophosphate exposure exists, and has in fact been studied extensively. Unfortunately, however, the research into this connection is difficult to find, since this is a link that would be devastating to Big Pharma should the public find out about it. Of the research that exists, much of it is fairly convoluted and highly technical. In other words, it’s been designed to be not only difficult to find in the first place, but also difficult to understand for the average person wanting to cure their disease. This makes it so that the average person is more likely to just “pass over”informat...

Antidotes to Organophosphate Poisoning and Pesticide Exposure

Methylene Blue is one of the most important antidotes to organophosphate poisoning, but this over-the-counter medicine can do so much more. It's one of the most important drugs available in hospitals as. a treatment for poisoning. Powerful Organophosphate Exposure Treatments Methylene Blue Methylene blue is an anti-poison medication that can specifically help alleviate the symptoms of acute organophosphate exposure/poisoning. One report of a man who had intentionally ingested dimethoate notes that administration of methylene blue was able to successfully counteract some of the effects of organophosphate poisoning. The methylene blue reduced organophosphate-induced hypotension and hemodynamic instability within 6 hours of administration, and these effects were maintained even after the...

Herbal Remedies for Organophosphate Poisoning and Exposure

How to Use Herbal Medicines to Treat Organophosphate Exposure NOTE: In Unani medicine, Althea officinalis / marshmallow root is often combined with either Berberis vulgaris / Barberry or Belladonna to modulate the effects of these herbs. It is combined with Berberis vulgaris to diminish side effects caused by Althea officinalis and it is combined with Belladonna to modulate the effects of the Belladonna. Barberry (Berberis vulgaris) Barberry is a deciduous, flowering and fruit-producing bush native to the eastern Mediterranean regions in Europe, Africa, and Asia. Though commonly produced primarily for its edible berries, barberry has also been used by traditional cultures for medicinal purposes. Some of the various uses of the barberry plant include:  Appetite stimulation Gas...

Organophosphate Detoxification as an Infertility Treatment for Men and Women

Infertility Caused by Exposure to Organophosphate Pesticides and Neonicotinoids Below, I discuss both organophosphates and neonicotinoids and their effects on fertility in men and women. Both organophosphates and neonicotinoids, as well as a slew of other pesticides and related chemicals (carbamates, organochlorines, pyrethroids, triazines, etc.), have been scientifically proven to decrease fertility as well as to negatively affect offspring after their birth. Some studies have even shown that exposure to these chemicals may affect the fertility of adolescent or adult individuals who were exposed to them in utero.  Infertility Due to Organophosphate Exposure What are organophosphates? Organophosphates are chemical insecticides that work as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors in the nerv...

Government Sponsored Nutrient Deficiencies and Synthetic Nutrient Poisons: A Serious Look at Organophosphate and Bromide Insecticide Exposure and Poisoning

In India, cows are worshipped in part because of their ability to provide for most of the nutrients a person needs. But not all of the cows on the planet today are able to connect humans with healthy patches of earth or with sun-blessed grasses. It isn't the cow's fault. Got Deficiency? A long, long time ago, in antiquity (or so it seems), the cow produced milk. And the milk contained many nutrients that the body needed in order to be healthy.  Back in the day, milk from a cow was a major source of sustenance. The nutrients in the milk came initially from the soil and from the sun (in the form of chlorophyll which was consumed by the cow as grass). Iodine and vitamin K2 were two of these substances that are now practically non-existent in milk that comes from cows raised on industrial f...

Toxins That Cause Myasthenia Gravis -- Organophosphate Exposure and Bromide Exposure: What You Need to Know

A number of prescription drugs today, including pyridostigmine bromide, a drug that is often prescribed for Myasthenia Gravis, contains bromide, a substance that was once widely known to be responsible for causing psychiatric and nervous system disease. It has been outlawed in most countries except the United States because of its toxic effects on human health. In the U.S. though, this drug is prescribed by doctors to patients who are sick with the very symptoms that bromide exposure can cause. Can Myasthenia Gravis be reversed? How prescription drugs and environmental exposures keep patients trapped. Myasthenia Gravis is classified as an autoimmune disease, and it is characterized by extreme weakness in the muscles under voluntary control (such as those that are responsible for the mov...
