A Toxin That Travels From Stomach to Brain May Trigger Parkinson’s Summary: A new study reports the combination of a toxic herbicide and lectins may trigger Parkinsonism after the toxins travel from the stomach to the brain. Source: Penn State. Combining low doses of a toxic herbicide with sugar-binding proteins called lectins may trigger ParkinsonismContinue reading “A Toxin That Travels From Stomach to Brain May Trigger Parkinson’s”

Urea cycle disorder , brain and Alzheimer
A urea cycle disorder is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation that results in a deficiency of one of the six enzymes in the urea cycle. These enzymes are responsible for removing ammonia from the blood stream. The urea cycle involves a series of biochemical steps in which nitrogen, a waste product of protein metabolism, is removed from the blood and converted to a compound called urea in the blood. Normally, the urea is transferred into the urine and removed from the body. In urea cycle disorders, the nitrogen accumulates in the form of ammonia, a highly toxic substance, resulting in hyperammonemia (elevated blood ammonia). Ammonia then reaches the brain through the blood, where it can cause irreversible brain damage, coma and/or death.
Diabetes, meat, iron and A1c
Bacteria and inflammation thrives in the presence of heme, iron. Diabetes starts with inflammation. A1c in the blood shows the 3-month average plasma glucose concentration. CVD, cardiovascular disease, is an inflammation of the vascular system. Deaths from CVD: 17.9 million / 32% (2015) Researchers analyzed 14 exercise studies involving 915 adults with type 2 diabetes. Aerobic exercise (such asContinue reading “Diabetes, meat, iron and A1c”
Toxic chemicals /environmental toxins/carcinogens affect the estrogens/other hormones in our cells
When we wash pesticides from our produce, we do it because they alter our body cells and create an imbalance in our hormones. Some of these chemicals are estrogenic, affecting the normal estrogen levels in our body. When we eat corned beef, we add cabbage and tomatoes in the hopes that toxins will be excretedContinue reading “Toxic chemicals /environmental toxins/carcinogens affect the estrogens/other hormones in our cells”
