Introduction to Organophosphates and Organophosphate Poisoning

Organophosphate toxicity can cause a wide range of symptoms in the body. One of the most well-known involves a cluster of symptoms identical to Myasthenia Gravis. Organophosphate Poisoning Basics Environmental pollution from organophosphate pesticides is widespread. Organophosphates are used in agriculture, wildlife-control, lawn care, and gardening throughout the world. Organophosphate exposure has become a major societal concern because these substances have the ability to bioaccumulate and persist in the environment and in the body. In other words, they buildup in the bones and teeth and also in the environment over time and then, without appropriate interventions, organophosphates won’t degrade or go away on their own. So the body and the environment slowly become more and more toxi...

Organophosphate Drugs: Bisphosphonates 

Though bisphosphonates are often prescribed to increase bone density, they don't reduce bone fractures and in fact, bisphosphonate exposure is associated with a certain type of bone fracture in the femur and the death of bone tissues in the jaw. Bisphosphonates: Negative Health Effects and Mechanisms of Action  Bisphosphonates are prescribed to treat the following diseases and disorders: Osteoporosis Osteomalacia Osteosclerosis Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) Paget disease Fibrous dysplasia Bone cancers Multiple myeloma Leukemia All organophosphates contain both carbon and phosphorus which is why they are organic phosphates. The only healthy phosphates for human consumption are inorganic phosphates, however, that do not contain carbon. ...

What's the Link Between Osteoporosis and Dementia?

Bisphosphonates are osteoporosis medications that don't offer any benefits in terms of bone health, but they are heavily correlated with serious health risks including an increased risk of developing dementia. What You Need to Know about Organophosphate Exposure via Bisphosphonate Medications UPDATE 2023: Recently, we uncovered some research showing that Pueraria lobata and Pueraria mirifica are two plant medicines that can be helpful in treating osteoporosis and dementia. This herb is also used as an adjunct therapy for diabetes and mood disorders and it functions through several mechanisms of action to treat osteoporosis and dementia at the same time. Please click here to read about plant medicines that are being studied for the treatment of dementia and osteoporosis. Pay special atte...

Secrets of Reproductive Organ Health: Molecular Soul Mates and Intimate Nutrient Connections That Balance Hormone Levels Naturally

The parathyroid glands are like gatekeepers in terms of thyroid and reproductive organ health. If you don't have healthy parathyroid glands, your thyroid and reproductive organs won't function properly either. And at all ages and stages of life, thyroid and reproductive organ health affects general well-being in a global and powerful way. Spotlight on the Parathyroid Glands and Reproduction The four parathyroid glands are usually located in the neck next to the thyroid gland, though in some people, the parathyroid glands are located in a slightly different region of the neck or even in the chest. That's okay. The location of the parathyroid glands doesn't seem to matter. But these little glands don't get a lot of attention unless they're seriously malfunctioning, which is unfortunate be...

Organophosphate Exposure Protection and Vitamin K2: Cure Lymphoma, Leukemia, Multiple Myeloma, Brain Cancer, Breast Cancer and More

Menaquinone is another name for vitamin K2, a substance that can theoretically be produced in the intestinal flora of the human body. Organophosphates like glyphosate and RoundUp kill the flora that produce this vitamin and GMOs are engineered to not contain vitamin K2. But vitamin K2 can be used with other nutrients that we discuss here to cure all types of cancer. Cancer and Organophosphate Exposure Organophosphates are chemicals that are used in a variety of settings. They accumulate in the environment and in the body over time which means that even low-level exposure that’s constant and ongoing can eventually lead to health problems like cancer and environmental problems due to exposure.  Organophosphates are used today in the following settings: Organophosphates are u...

Organophosphate Exposure Through Food, Food Additives, and More...

Organophosphate exposure can happen through bisphosphonates (drugs for the treatment of osteoporosis that contain organophosphates) or through meat products from animals that have been treated with organophosphates to name just two common ways in which humans are exposed. Organophosphate Food Additives  Bisphosphonates are medicines that are toxic because they contain phosphates that are attached to carbon atoms in a manner that is not healthy for the body. The body needs phosphate, but only in certain chemical configurations. Combining phosphate with carbon, in particular causes the phosphates to be toxic to the human body.    Though most people think that organophosphate exposure primarily occurs through environmental toxins like insecticides, there are phosphates that are found...

Is there a cure for Myasthenia Gravis?

One of the hallmark symptoms of Myasthenia Gravis is ptosis or diplopia, eye symptoms that may include blurry or double vision. And its hard to ignore the fact that Bromine Toxicity and Iodine Deficiency involves these exact same symptoms as a hallmark indicator, especially given the systematic efforts that Big Pharma and Big Food have made to remove iodine from the food supply and inundate the public with toxic bromine products that ultimately lead to the development of autoimmune diseases like Myasthenia Gravis. Surprising Mysathenia Gravis Cures Let’s start this discussion about whether or not there’s a cure for Myasthenia Gravis with a list of Bromine Toxicity Symptoms. Look closely at these symptoms and ask yourself if any of these symptoms resemble the symptoms of Myasthenia Gravi...

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...

How to Prevent Organophosphate Poisoning and Treat Organophosphate Poisoning Naturally Using Probiotics and Herbs

Atropa belladonna is an herbal cure for organophosphate poisoning, but it can be dangerous if taken at the wrong dose. The pharmaceutical known as "atropine" is derived from this herb. Recovery from Organophosphate Poisoning Recovery from organophosphate poisoning can take from 2-3 weeks or up to 5 years depending on how the patient approaches their recovery process, whether they are re-exposed to organophosphates, whether they’re exposure is chronic or acute, and what types of medicinal agents are used to overcome organophosphate poisoning. In other words, a full recovery can take weeks or years, but if you begin working on organophosphate detoxification, you’ll likely begin to see progress quickly.  Organophosphate Detoxification Atropa Belladonna Atropa Belladonna is an herb...
