\"garykohls\"<\/a>26 Oct 2016 – <\/em>Recently I read an online essay that was written by a person whose father has had progressive Parkinson\u2019s disease for several decades. The tone of the essay was one of despair, confusion and frustration from a son who truly loved his father and would do anything to help him.<\/p>\n

Given the fact that a lot of the medical information that is on the internet comes from Big Pharma websites, the author understandably repeated many of the myths about Parkinson\u2019s disease, such as the \u201cno known cause\u201d myth or the \u201cit might be genetic\u201d myth.<\/p>\n

However, in the middle of the essay, the author did reveal that his dad had been a farmer in his younger years and had been exposed to some of the common agribusiness-promoted neurotoxins (such as insecticides and herbicides) that seem to have been accepted by the industry as normal parts of farming. Of course, physicians have known for a long time that neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson\u2019s disease are one of the occupational hazards of farmers who are exposed to neurotoxins like farm chemicals, solvents and heavy metals.<\/p>\n

So, wanting to encourage the author to keep on with his research, I wrote a note to him. As is my wont, the note turned into a 2500 word essay. I submit it below, keeping in mind Dr Marcia Angell\u2019s wisdom:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

****************************<\/p>\n

Mr S., I just finished reading your fine essay about your father\u2019s Parkinson\u2019s disease and want to express my sympathies. I understand your need to wade through the massive amounts of online information\u00a0on the subject and your efforts to look for hope\u00a0in what is,\u00a0unfortunately, an essentially incurable, neurodegenerative, neurotoxin-induced\u00a0illness.<\/p>\n

My own father developed permanent, disabling Guillain-Barre syndrome shortly after he was vaccinated in\u00a0the fraudulent Swine Flu pseudo-epidemic\u00a0of 1976 which resulted in thousands\u00a0(perhaps millions) of other under-reported neurotoxic, neurodegenerative disorders that were caused by\u00a0the mercury-containing vaccine. BTW, there was only one case of \u201cflu\u201d that\u00a0caused the death of\u00a0a physically and emotionally exhausted soldier during his basic infantry training that led to that infamously\u00a0fast-tracked, CDC-mandated, freak-out vaccine campaign\u00a0\u2013 a total fraud perpetrated by an alliance between the CDC, the FDA, Big Pharma, Big Medicine and Big Media. In the months that it took Big Pharma to concoct a mercury-loaded vaccine, there had developed no other cases of \u201cswine flu\u201d\u00a0\u2013 and yet the momentum that had been generated resulted in a media campaign that urged everybody to get their flu shot! The vaccine industry and the CDC had heavily invested in the vaccines and would have lost hundreds of millions of dollars if the fraud had been exposed and the campaign halted. There were no Mea Culpas from any of\u00a0these previously honorable professional organizations.<\/p>\n

There have been many highly profitable false\u00a0hopes that have been regularly \u00a0offered by Big Pharma\u2019s giant for-profit multinational corporations that distracts us from the reality of causative environmental neurotoxins (like your father\u2019s sub-lethal exposure to neurotoxic pesticides, fungicides and herbicides) that are known to cause dementia,\u00a0Parkinson\u2019s and many other degenerative brain disorders.<\/p>\n

Of course many healthcare industries in this nation are interested in the profit potential of self-limited, curable or preventable disorders that could instead become chronic, life-long,\u00a0difficult to diagnose, incurable, or even autoimmune disordered clients who would then need life-long follow-up visits, life-long drug-prescribing, life-long lab testing and life-long med checks. Prevention and cure is not good for the \u201chealthcare\u201d bottom line.<\/p>\n

The abnormal protein that\u00a0you mentioned that has recently\u00a0been\u00a0found in the brains of autopsied Parkinson\u2019s patients is, in reality, just\u00a0a clue\u00a0that\u00a0was left behind following the death of the\u00a0killed-off neurons in the substantia nigra, the site of degenerated dopamine neurons in Parkinson\u2019s disease and the brainstem location where the poisoning of 80% of the dopamine neurons will cause Parkinson\u2019s disease in any animal.<\/p>\n

The protein thus may simply represent abnormal left-over protein molecules from the putrefying process that\u00a0occurs\u00a0in\u00a0all dead and dying proteinaceous carcasses.\u00a0Magnifying the importance of\u00a0an abnormal\u00a0protein that\u00a0is found within\u00a0dead tissue\u00a0is just\u00a0another\u00a0disinformation ploy perpetrated by\u00a0some Big Pharma\u00a0corporation and their scientists.<\/p>\n

Corporate spokespersons will claim that\u00a0they are giving patients and their families something to hope\u00a0for, but at the same time they are giving an optimistic picture to potential investors. The corporation wants investors to think the new information will result in the creation of the next pharmaceutical block-buster, like the following very short list of\u00a0lethal and then banned pharmaceuticals:<\/p>\n

Avandia (a\u00a0blood sugar-lowering\u00a0drug), Baycol (a\u00a0cholesterol-lowering drug), Cylert (an ADHD drug), Darvon (a pain pill), Diethylstilbestrol<\/a> (to\u00a0prevent premature labor), Duract (a pain pill), Fenfluramine (half of the\u00a0disastrous weight loss combination Fen-Phen), Halcion (a benzodiazepine-type sleeping pill), Melleril (an antipsychotic),\u00a0Meridia (an appetite\u00a0suppressant),\u00a0Lotronex (and also\u00a0Zelnorm, both irritable bowel drugs), Oraflex (an NSAID drug),\u00a0Phenformin (a glucose-lowering drug), Phenylbutazone (an arthritis drug), Propulsid (a drug for slowing down peristalsis), Seldane (an allergy pill),\u00a0Trovan (a\u00a0fluoroquinolone antibiotic<\/a>), Vioxx (an arthritis drug), etc, etc.<\/p>\n

Please note that the above list only contains a\u00a0small number\u00a0of the hundreds of similarly banned prescription drugs that hadn\u2019t been tested adequately prior to being granted marketing approval from regulatory agencies like the FDA.<\/p>\n

Of course, giving false hope\u00a0is actually an act of cruelty, because the false hope\u00a0disrupts the efforts needed for the prevention of such diseases by\u00a0de-emphasizing the real root causes of a disease \u2013 especially the iatrogenic ones.<\/p>\n

The truth is\u00a0that the finding of an unusual\u00a0protein in the chemically-poisoned wasteland of the brain\u2019s is\u00a0just\u00a0another of the many\u00a0types of evidence that\u00a0can be found at any crime scene which is not necessarily the cause of the crime. Correlation does not mean causation, but Big Pharma jumps at such correlations because\u00a0it is good for their business.<\/p>\n

Thus the best efforts to deal with Parkinson\u2019s or so-called Alzheimer\u2019s or Autistic Spectrum Disorders\u00a0\u2013 all caused by exposures to neurotoxic substances of one kind or another\u00a0– are often\u00a0made considerably\u00a0worse in the presence of one or more toxic substances.<\/p>\n

Good medical practice should prevent\u00a0people from becoming ill with neurodegenerative disorders in the first place, but it also should be trying to prevent already-ill patients like your father from getting worse by pointing out the avoidable neurotoxins in the environment or the clinician\u2019s armamentarium that could worsen the illness. I submit that that should include the avoidance of prescribing additional drugs that might be neurotoxins or mitochondrial toxins or vaccines that could contain neurotoxins or mitochondrial toxins. It seems to me to be the height of absurdity for the pharmaceutical industry to be proposing a new\u00a0vaccine (that will have neurotoxic ingredients in it) for a degenerative nerve disorder that has no connection to a theoretically vaccine-treatable infectious disease.<\/p>\n

It would be safe to say that much of\u00a0the research that you have\u00a0found online originates from the laboratories of for-profit pharmaceutical companies\u00a0that are in the business\u00a0of increasing shareholder value\u00a0and not for making sick patients well.<\/p>\n

Big Pharma\u2019s\u00a0most visible cheerleaders in these matters are (co-opted-by-the-drug-industry) academic physicians that have MDs or PhDs behind their names and who, for their professional survival,\u00a0need to get published.<\/p>\n

It is also important to acknowledge that virtually all of the mainstream medical journals (that most clinicians subscribe to\u00a0[but mainly speed-read through]) are beholden to Big Pharma\u2019s wealthiest drug advertisers.\u00a0Many of\u00a0those research scientists and teaching academics\u00a0are outright Big Pharma employees, shareholders, own stock options in the companies, receive honoraria as lecturers or are highly paid salespersons for the industries or are on well-paid panels of so-called \u201cexperts\u201d that advise the CDC or FDA on what new drugs or vaccines to approve. Many of the scholarly articles to which they\u00a0claim authorship are actually ghost-written by company employees.<\/p>\n

Most practicing physicians\u00a0do not have significant financial conflicts of interest with Big Pharma, but they DO\u00a0have professional conflicts of interest in\u00a0Big Pharma\u2019s drugs and vaccines, for many of Big Pharma\u2019s synthetic chemicals can cause any number of drug- or vaccine-induced chronic illnesses (including autoimmune disorders) which then produces a lot of chronic patients that will\u00a0directly benefit\u00a0them, their clinics and their healthcare organizations.<\/p>\n

The story above is\u00a0true for\u00a0the synthetic chemical causes of Parkinson\u2019s, drug-induced dementia, or Autism Spectrum Disorders or Multiple Sclerosis\u00a0or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or Gulf War Syndrome, or any of the many Vaccine-induced or\u00a0Psychiatric Drug-induced disorders, both categories of which\u00a0involve the\u00a0poisoning of\u00a0the energy-producing\u00a0organelles of the body called mitochondria.<\/p>\n

I suspect\u00a0that you\u00a0are among the many who have wondered about the regularly scheduled media campaigns\u00a0that seem to come from the CDC, the FDA and\/or from Big Pharma and their co-opted academic physicians – like the notorious academic pediatrician and multimillionaire Dr Paul Offfit (who got rich because he developed a rotavirus vaccine), who once claimed that infants could safely receive 10,000 vaccines at one sitting without suffering any adverse effects!<\/p>\n

Those\u00a0media blitz campaigns\u00a0have regularly\u00a0over-publicized infectious disease clusters and\u00a0then blamed allegedly inadequate vaccination rates for the\u00a0occasional outbreak of some\u00a0childhood infections disease\u00a0like measles , whereas in actuality, the so-called \u201cmeasles\u201d clusters were never proven to be measles\u00a0\u2013 only measles-like<\/em> rashes. And what is worse, the CDC or local health organizations never admitted that\u00a0many of the victims of those outbreaks had been fully vaccinated!<\/p>\n

There have also been well-funded media campaigns to smear independent, scholarly, altruistic scientists\u00a0whenever they\u00a0exercised their duty to warn others after they had connected the dots between the multitude of\u00a0iatrogenic disorders (\u201ciatrogenic\u201d = physician-caused or medication-induced) and the multitude of\u00a0cellular toxic and neurotoxic synthetic chemicals that are\u00a0commonly prescribed by physicians.<\/p>\n

The reality is that most of the medications on the market today were never adequately tested for long-term safety\u00a0or long-term effectiveness in human subjects prior to gaining marketing approval. So anybody who has been urged or ordered to take more than one drug has no assurance that either one has been proven to be safe or effective long-term, especially in combination.\u00a0 What is even worse is the fact that any combination of two or more drugs has never been subjected to either short or long term trials in the pre-clinical animal lab (rat, mouse, guinea pig\u00a0or monkey) experiments, where microscopic examination of brain tissue is done.<\/p>\n

It has been well established that every one of the five\u00a0classes of psychotropic drugs can cause dementia, brain damage, brain shrinkage, mitochondrial toxicity, drug dependence [addiction], worsening depression, worsening anxiety, insomnia, somnolence, mania, lethargy, psychosis, irrational behaviors, aggression, suicidality, homicidality, etc, etc,\u00a0depending on whether the\u00a0drugged-up, intoxicated\u00a0person\u00a0is experiencing some of the multitude of adverse effects of the\u00a0psychoactive drugs or is experiencing the often serious withdrawal symptoms that commonly occur when the drugs become intolerable.<\/p>\n

And it has been well established that all intramuscularly\u00a0injected vaccines\u00a0\u2013 whether they 1) are live virus-type (MMR\/polio), 2) contain the preservative mercury\/thimerosal (all multi-dose flu shots and most childhood vaccines prior to 1999) or 3) contain the adjuvant aluminum (including most of the non-live virus vaccines, including the HPV and pneumonia vaccines) have both\u00a0lethal and sub-lethal consequences (which can manifest themselves immediately or in a delayed fashion).<\/p>\n

And here is the upshot for you and your father: the\u00a0annual\u00a0vaccinations that he has been urged or ordered to submit to by well-meaning and often na\u00efve clinicians, may be making his neurodegenerative disorder worse. The heavy metal neurotoxicities of the aluminum-containing pneumovax shot and the mercury containing flu shot are known to bio-accumulate in the brain and body tissues with each dose, and aluminum has been consistently found in the degenerated brain tissue of well-vaccinated patients, particularly in the amyloid deposits of so-called (and mis-labeled) \u201cAlzheimer\u2019s dementia of unknown etiology\u201d patients.<\/p>\n

And there is another serious upshot if you have infants or small children, because at the time when an infant\u2019s brain and body\u00a0are at\u00a0their most vulnerable (at their 2, 4 and 6 months \u201cwell baby\u201d pediatrician visits, after which there is a significant increase in sudden infant death syndrome [SIDS] or near-SIDS episodes), up to 9 antigenic substances (along with\u00a0their toxic vaccine ingredients and inadvertent contaminants) are\u00a0injected at one sitting! And Dr Offit and his pro-vaccine colleagues concur, despite their having taken the Hippocratic Oath at the beginning of their careers.<\/p>\n

You touched upon a very telling truth in your essay.\u00a0You talked about the\u00a0many neurotoxic substances (pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, insecticides \u2013 you omitted petroleum products, solvents and molds) to which your farmer father was regularly exposed – with no hazmat protection – in his early life. Those toxic exposures, as serious as they can be all by themselves, can be expected to\u00a0have additive (and, more seriously, even synergistic) toxic effects with the many similarly toxic additives in the \u201cfood\u201d supply.<\/p>\n

Those toxic food additives include the non-nutritive synthetic flavor enhancers High Fructose Corn Syrup, NutraSweet (aspartame), Splenda (sucralose), Saccharin, Acesulfame potassium and MSG and the equally toxic additives that make dead meat look pink, such as nitrates, sulfites and\u00a0dyes, and the so-called\u00a0 preservatives\u00a0such as\u00a0sodium benzoate or potassium benzoate (both of which, when exposed to ascorbic acid\/vitamin C, turn into benzene, a known carcinogen and DNA toxin.<\/p>\n

Well, this lengthy message exceeded my initial goal of applauding your efforts to de-mystify Parkinson\u2019s disease. I will probably make use of this missive as one of my weekly Duty to Warn<\/em> columns (I will let you know if and when it is published). Be assured that I will avoid any information that could identify you.<\/p>\n

I hope that I have challenged you enough for you to do some additional research into information about America\u2019s iatrogenic neurodegenerative disease pandemic that\u00a0happens to be a taboo subject for Big Pharma, Big Vaccine, Big Medicine (including the AMA, AAP, APA, AAFP, CDC, FDA, NIMH, NIH), Big Insurance, Big Chemistry, Big Food, Big Agribusiness, Big Finance, Big Media\u00a0and other giant multinational corporations – the first three of which fund 90% of American medical research and therefore\u00a0expect a significant return on their investments. Please check out if the sources of the information you run across are industry shill. Before you trust the information.<\/p>\n

I am sending a recent essay of mine that reveals a number of unwelcome facts about drug-induced or vaccine-induced dementia (they ARE NOT Alzheimer\u2019s!). The article can be found at<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/2016\/09\/duty-to-warn-drug-induced-dementia-is-not-alzheimers-disease\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article contains many of the facts that you need to know about America\u2019s\u00a0history of iatrogenic, drug-induced,\u00a0vaccine-induced, neurologic illnesses like Parkinson\u2019s and dementia. Diseases like those could have been prevented, but are now clogging up America\u2019s medical system. Physicians like me are partially responsible for the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Drug- or vaccine-induced, iatrogenic illnesses are the focus of many Big Pharma corporations that are always looking for ways to profitably expand their markets by developing new products to \u201ctreat\u201d new diseases that may have been caused by the old products in the first place.<\/p>\n

And unless the propaganda coming from Big Pharma and their partners is effectively countered, that unholy alliance will continue to manufacture, advertise, market and prescribe increasingly unaffordable, illness-producing drugs\u00a0and vaccines that will surely make America\u2019s physical, neurological and mental health even worse than it is already.<\/p>\n

Happily for holistic and preventive healthcare practitioners and their lucky patients, prevention and cure doesn\u2019t create permanent clients (aka, \u201ccash cows\u201d for Big Pharma and Big Medicine). Anyone who has followed the get-rich schemes of most of Big Pharma\u2019s and Big Medicine\u2019s CEOs, boards of directors and co-opted academic physicians easily understands how obscene medical costs has made healthcare a major cause of individual bankruptcies in America. One only has to consider the fraud, corruption and price gouging involving EpiPen, Mylan, Merck, GSK, Pfizer, Lilly, Astra-Zeneca, Bayer, Novartis, Sanofi Aventis, etc).<\/p>\n

Any aware person knows that those entities are making obscene amounts of money by creating permanent patients who will be over-diagnosed, over-medicated, increasingly ill, increasingly disabled and over-inoculated with aluminum-adjuvanted vaccines – and therefore increasingly likely to also develop iatrogenic autoimmune disorders.<\/p>\n

My hope is that increased awareness and self-education will eventually lead to more accurate diagnoses, real prevention and real cures of toxified people like your father.<\/p>\n
