Parasites, heavy metals and Lyme disease on the Parasite Summit

September 10, 2017 By Trudy Scott 2 Comments

Here are a few snippets from some of the interviews on the Parasite Summit:

The Trio of Parasites, Heavy Metals and Lyme Disease by Dr. Jay Davidson 

from what we understand research wise, Lyme disease, which is technically a bacteria or spirochete, has been shown to live inside of certain nematodes, which is essentially a type of parasite like a roundworm. So parasites can actually house Lyme disease, or bacteria, or other viruses, or other bacteria. And then, parasites are also a huge sponge for absorbing heavy metals.

And here’s what’s really crazy to think about. Parasites absorb heavy metals. So if you run a test and think, “Oh, man, I must have a ton of heavy metals because Dr. Jay and Dr. Scott are saying heavy metals are like this big thing,” and all of a sudden you have like no heavy metals show up or even false lows, and let’s say you “ran the test right,” it could mean that you also have a massive parasite issue because parasites absorb heavy metals. And if you didn’t deal with the parasites, then the heavy metals are still in the parasite, which then means that, from a testing standpoint, can still come up negative.

Digestion Strategies for Parasite Prevention by Dr. David Jockers

Now, somebody that does have their gallbladder taken out, you’re still producing bile. You just can’t produce as much. And so ultimately, therefore, you’re going to be at a much greater risk of developing something like a parasitic overgrowth if you don’t already have one. Which is typically one of the problems when you do have a sluggish gallbladder, oftentimes, it’s associated with a parasitic overgrowth or some sort of bacterial overgrowth in your small intestine.

I think it has to do with the ability of bile to be an emulsifier. Okay. So not only is it good for breaking up fatty acids in there, which is super key for digestion there, but the outer membrane of a lot of bacteria and microbes also is a fatty membrane. And so it can help break that up, as well. I believe that’s the main mechanism for it.

Parasites: Root Cause of Mystery Diseases by Ann Louise Gittleman

I think if any of your listeners have real difficulty in shaking off some of sort of illness, and if they’ve been feeling tired and listless and if they have a problem that the doctor simply can’t identify, then they have to begin to suspect that parasites could be the underlying cause. I also want them to remember that parasitic diseases don’t always happen to people just in other countries. The rate of parasite related disorders in our country is just about skyrocketing. And every single one of the 134 species that have been identified has been found on our shores.

The dark circles, the intermittent diarrhea, the persistent acne, anorexia, food intolerance, palpitations, puffy eyes, depression. Oh, that’s a good one. And there have been clinical studies from JAMA, as I recall, where they’ve connected toxoplasmosis with depression. So depression is big…who would connect it with a parasite? And the inability to relax and anxiety and being overly angry very oftentimes can have a toxoplasmosis connection.

I cover toxoplasma gondii in great detail in my interview on the Parasite Summit, as well as malaria and malaria medications.

At the Parasite Summit, experts will help you determine if parasites are silently impacting your health–they’re FAR MORE COMMON than you think! Parasites aren’t just found in third-world countries, millions are already infected in industrialized countries and could be silently hampering your health. Fortunately, with awareness and appropriate care, parasites can be prevented and treated, once detected.

If you’re struggling with any of the following, don’t miss this event:

  • Gastrointestinal: pain/cramps, excess gas, bloating, constipation/diarrhea
  • Infertility and hormone disorders
  • Skin issues: acne, itching, rashes
  • Mental health: depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, OCD, schizophrenia
  • Challenges with autoimmune disease recovery (Toxoplasma gondii may be a factor in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis)

The Parasite Summit is online from September 11-18, 2017 and you can register here I hope you can join us!

Electromagnetic frequency pollution and wireless: a significant risk factor for disease

July 23, 2017 By Trudy Scott 23 Comments

…it’s my deepest belief that electromagnetic frequency pollution, especially coming from most of the wireless devices used today, is a significant risk factor for disease”
~ Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, during his interview on the Immune Defense Summit

Dr. Klinghardt is founder of the Klinghardt Academy, the American Academy of Neural Therapy, medical director of the Institute of Neural Biology, and lead clinician at the Sophia Health Institute shares this:

All the research points to the fact that it’s the cumulative effect of all the sources of Wi-Fi. We have the Wi-Fi router in the home; unfortunately, most of the cordless phones that are used in the US are also based on Wi-Fi technology. And they use 900 MHz, and they’re broadcasting 24/7 into the rooms in the home. Then we have the baby monitors, a huge source. And then the alarm systems in the house. And the new source, of course, the new kid on the block, is the smart meters…which create devastating amounts of radiation in the home, usually in a sheet that kind of goes horizontally through the house on the level where the smart meter is.

This is an in-depth interview and one of the best I’ve heard on the topic of EMFs and wireless technology and the dangers! He covers mercury containing compact fluorescent lights; Wi-Fi in schools; the responsible use of the cell phone; the impacts of this wireless technology on autism and insomnia, GABA and anxiety levels; how mold becomes more virulent in the presence of Wi-Fi; and how heavy metals in the brain can make you much more susceptible to microwave and wireless technology; how moisture contained in your mattress makes it a microwave receiver and more.    

He doesn’t expand on the insomnia mechanisms but because he mentions GABA I would assume using GABA as a supplement would help with both anxiety and sleep issues, in a similar way GABA helps with Lyme anxiety and GABA protects against fluoride-induced hypothyroidism.  This is an area I’m going to be researching further but clearly we want to be removing the source of exposure and not use GABA as a band-aid but rather as a tool to address the low GABA levels and anxiety/insomnia in the interim.

Dr. Klinghardt shares so much about how to protect yourself on the Immune Defense Summit. Here is some advice on how to protect your home from the incoming radio waves from the cell phone towers nearby, and from the neighbors:

We recommend the German system building biology. They have developed wall paints that can be applied to outside the home or inside the home with a graphite paint that’s electroconductive. It creates a faraday cage, basically, that needs to be grounded into the ground wire of your electric system, and shielding curtains that are made from silver coated cloth that deflect the incoming radio waves. That’s pretty much what we do with all of our clients.

He also offers the following tips for reducing exposure:

  • a sleep sanctuary that looks like a mosquito net that’s put over the bed that reduces the radiation to one-ten thousandths on the inside of it
  • only switch it on the Wi-Fi router if you need it – if you’re actually doing something with it
  • Stetzer filters

and much much more.

I was surprised that Dr. Klinghardt didn’t mention the Blushield devices which I learned about recently at the Sydney MINDD conference. I’m going to be following up with him to find out what results he has seen with these protective devices and will report back.

I do hope you can join us! Click here to register. The summit runs July 24-31

Be prepared – this interview is not for the faint of heart – Dr. Klinghardt is direct and to the point and doesn’t hold back.

Feel free to post questions and share your tips and experiences with EMFs and wireless in the comments.

The Anxiety Summit – Anxiety and heavy metals: chelation of mercury and lead

June 12, 2016 By Trudy Scott 44 Comments

John Dempster_Anxiety4

John Dempster, ND, is interviewed on the Anxiety Summit by host of the Anxiety Summit, Trudy Scott, Food Mood Expert and Nutritionist, author of The Antianxiety Food Solution.

Anxiety and heavy metals: chelation of mercury and lead

  • The connection between toxic metals (mercury and lead) and anxiety
  • How to effectively measure toxic metals with a provoked urine challenge
  • The do’s and don’ts of chelation and watching for mineral depletion
  • A bipolar/anxiety case study

Here are some gems from our interview:

So I kind of want to shed some light on some of these areas and how it can affect anxiety directly.  One of the big areas is mercury itself is a neurotoxin.  So how does that impact our biochemistry and our physiology?  Well what it’s going to do it’s going to start to disrupt on an endocrine and a neurotransmitter level some of our pathways.  And one of the big pathways is actually the glutamate connection and the glutamate pathway.  And glutamate is something that’s known as an excitatory neurotransmitter and this is something that if we have too much of it or it’s not being reuptake properly in our synapses we start to exhibit different types of symptoms of anxiety.  And of course that’s just one possible trigger for anxiety. 

….to speak of mercury specifically amalgams are a source.  Silver amalgam fillings are a source of metal, metal mercury.  But we are also seeing that there are trace amounts in certain vaccinations.  There are trace amounts in certain food groups such as fish.  And this may not come as a surprise to many of you listeners but it is still a problem and we’re still seeing people – high amounts of mercury come into my clinic pretty much every day that are continuing to be exposed to these levels.  And there are a number of other different possible source that are on a smaller scale.  We might actually be breathing it in which is scary but depending on where you live in the world we may be exposed to some industrial sources of mercury as well. But the biggest ones that we can take charge of immediately are what’s in our mouth, what’s in our food and what goes in or on our body.

Blood lead levels and major depressive disorder, panic disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder in U.S. young adults

In this sample of young adults with low levels of lead exposure, higher blood lead was associated with increased odds of major depression and panic disorder. Exposure to lead at levels generally considered safe could result in adverse mental health outcomes.

Dr. Dempster describes the chelator DMSA as a magnet:

DMSA is a very safe but effective way of dragging metals out of the body.  And what we want to do is when we provoke that we actually drag this compound through our tissues.  Not just our bloodstream.  It goes through – it kind of rinses through our tissues and acts as a magnet and it draws these metals out at the other end that we can collect.

Here are some studies on heavy metals and chelation with DMSA:

  • DMSA a non-toxic water soluble treatment for heavy metal toxicity
  • Chelation therapy in intoxications with mercury, lead and copper
  • Efficacy of DMSA Therapy in a Sample of Arab Children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder.

Heavy metal detox on Chronic Lyme Disease Summit – starts Monday

April 3, 2016 By Trudy Scott 4 Comments

Just a quick reminder that the Chronic Lyme Disease Summit starts tomorrow Monday April 4th and runs through April 11th.

lyme-day1

Here are the speakers for day 1. And you can register here:
https://qt247.isrefer.com/go/LYME16reg/trudyscottcn

Dr. Jay Davidson is the fabulous host of the summit and he covers Heavy Metal Detoxification and Lyme Disease and why he is so passionate about this topic and getting the message out there. He shares the story of his wife’s Lyme disease and how she didn’t have the classic bulls eye rash and how they didn’t even find a tick. It was when his wife gave birth to their daughter that she got really sick and almost died.

He shares the role heavy metals (lead, mercury and aluminum) play and where they are found:

  • High fructose corn syrup contains mercury
  • Contact lenses cleaners in the 80s or even early 90s contained thimerosal
  • Red lipstick contains lead
  • And many more sources of these metals!

Dr. Davidson goes into great depth into heavy metal chelation in this interview:

I’m not really a big fan of the cilantro and the chlorella. Even though those are talked about a lot in the heavy metal world. It seems as if those stir things up more than they actually are able to pull things out.

For instance, when you’re looking at studies with chlorella and cilantro a lot of the studies will be in vitro or they’re looking at the chlorella binding to mercury, or the cilantro binding to mercury in a petri dish. But I think it’s a whole different set of circumstances in the science world. And you look at in vivo of in the body, being able to grab onto it in the body and pull it out.

He shares that he is a fan of glutathione:

I know there’s definitely a lot of disagreement in this world of “Well, should we raise glutathione or shouldn’t we? Are we causing other issues?” But I really love glutathione because glutathione is one of those things that helps to neutralize mercury in the body

Dr. Davidson goes into great depth on heavy metal detox and the hard lessons he has learned. It is an intense interview full of very specific information (probably the most detailed heavy metal interview I’ve listened to!) He ends with this connection to Lyme disease:

I don’t know if anybody can ever truly get well from Lyme disease if there’s mercury and lead in the body if you’re not detoxing that. Because essentially what happened with my wife is as we started detoxing the mercury and lead, which she was also high levels of mercury and lead in her body, toxic levels of it, it started releasing the biofilm, which allowed her body and her immune system to say “Hey, there’s bugs underneath these blankets of biofilms.”

Signing up for the event is worth it just for this interview!
