good news about Mad Cow

This guy has another angle on what causes Mad Cow and brain related
illness; copper, being important to maintain in system especially
around other metals.

environmental factors, such as the copper chelating OP warble fly
insecticides or molybdenum, played a primary role in the cause of TSEs
(transmissible spongiform encephalopathy) ,
My results indicated that high levels of specific metals such as
manganese, strontium, uranium, barium, in combination with deficiencies
of copper, constituted an abnormal mineral imbalance that was common to
every TSE cluster region that I had analysed.


Excerpt from website:
As a TSE field scientist, my observations and research findings lead me
to question the scientific validity of the conventional consensus on
the origins of TSE. I felt convinced that some key package of
environmental factors, such as the copper chelating OP warble fly
insecticides or molybdenum, played a primary role in the cause of TSEs,
and so I embarked on a global investigation in search of the
etiological needles in the causal haystack.

I carried out a total environmental analyses of the soil, water and
foodchains in various ecosystems of Japan, Slovakia, Italy, Sardinia,
Sicily, Iceland, Colorado, Wisconsin, etc, where long term clusters of
TSE have emerged in mammalian populations who are largely self
sufficient upon the local food chain. I also sampled the adjoining
TSE-free areas as controls.

My results indicated that high levels of specific metals such as
manganese, strontium, uranium, barium, in combination with deficiencies
of copper, constituted an abnormal mineral imbalance that was common to
every TSE cluster region that I had analysed. The levels returned to
normal in TSE-free adjoining areas.

I also identified the co-presence of high intensities of low frequency
sonic shock bursts in all of these TSE cluster environments, which
stemmed from a variety of prominent sources; such as low flying
military or concorde jets, quarry and military/gun explosions,
volcanic/earthquake tectonic rift lines, thunder and electric storms,
etc.

I compiled and published a hypothesis which proposed that this abnormal
mineral imbalance compromised the ability of the brain to protect
itself against the neuro-toxic effects of incoming sonic shocks from
the external environment.

Copper prion proteins as the ‘conductors’ and Manganese/strontium prion
proteins as the ‘blockers’ of electromagnetic energy flow.

Whilst endorsing the well established view that a malformed version of
a native brain protein, known as the prion protein, plays a pivotal
role in the pathogenesis of TSEs, I was unable to subscribe to the more
‘way out’ facet of this theory, that the proteinaceous particle of the
prion acted as the hyper-infectious TSE agent.

Given the mystery surrounding the healthy function of this elusive
protein, I became interested in the work of Dr David Brown who had had
to move mountains of "prions and prejudice" in order to get the world
to listen to the fact that the normal prion protein had been shown to
bond onto copper in the healthy brain and that this copper-bonding
property of the prion protein had something to do with its function.
Around this time, other scientists had shown that the healthy prion
protein performs a role in the mediation of the circadian rhythm .

I proposed that the copper component of the normal healthy prion
protein plays a role in the conduction of electromagnetic energy along
the circadian/auditory pathways of magnetic super-exchange. In this
respect, Electromagnetic energy is picked up from the melanin
reception/transducer stations in the retina, skin and cochlear, whence
the energy is conducted via a linear chain of paramagnetic copper atoms
(bonded to prion and other proteins) that provides a ‘metal to metal to
metal’ motorway for distributing the electromagnetic energy of light
and sound around the tissues for activating the calcium channels,
which, in turn, mediates the circadian regulation of sleep, sex,
behaviour, heart beat, cell growth/ repair and immune response –
locations where the prion protein is intensively expressed.

So once the crucial supply of copper is curtailed in the brain, due to
straight forward environmental copper deficiency or exposure to copper
chelating OP insecticides, molybdenum etc, the prion protein’s metal
bonds become vacant, rendering the protein vulnerable to bonding up
with certain alternative replacement metals, such as manganese, uranium
or strontium; eg specific metals which have binding affinity for the
vacant copper domains on prion protein under certain physiological
conditions. Once these metals begin to overload the bio-system, it is
interesting that they are scavenged by the ferritin protein – a metal
storage protein that represents one of the key proteins (along with the
misfolded prion protein) comprised in the proteinaceous ‘cocktail
stick’ aggregations (the so called ‘prion rods’) which hallmark the
brain tissues of all TSE diseased mammals.

It should also be considered that excesses of rogue metals such as
manganese, strontium or barium in the bio-system, will readily
conjugate with free sulphur atoms before the resulting sulphate
compounds are capable of ‘chelating’ copper in their own right. But the
subsequent starvation of free sulphur within the bio-system can also
cause metabolic upheaval, in that it can deprive the army of endogenous
heparin (glyco-aminoglycans - GAGs) molecules of their sulphur co
partners – a disruption that could account for one of the key
pathogenic mechanisms in the pathogenesis of TSEs, since many studies
have shown that endogenous GAGs need to be sulphated before they can
perform their crucial role in protecting cellular prion protein from
aggregating into its crystalline, ‘prion rod’ tombstone structure in
the TSE diseased brain. Perhaps this is why therapy with the sulphated
heparin molecules is exerting such a positive, life prolonging effect
in animals/ humans that are suffering from TSE.

But these foreign substitute metals that are attached to these proteins
in place of copper may not be acting in the overall best interests of
the organism, particularly if the invasive metal is in ‘ferrimagnetic’
and/ or in ‘radioactive’ form. In this respect, the malformed prion
protein becomes much like a trojan horse that trucks around the
circadian circuits of the brain carrying its lethal
radioactive/ferrimagnetic cargo of metallic missiles on board – a fire
power capacity that is potentially capable of detonating a chain
reaction of free radical mediated neuro-degeneration whenever
physiological circumstances permit.

So once a ferrimagnetic manganese 3+ or strontium 90 atom substitutes
at the vacant copper bonds on prion protein, the field inducing
influence of the ferrimagnetically ordered atoms will progressively
corrupt the circadian mediated pathways of electromagnetic
super-exchange throughout the brain; whereby a state of permanent
magnetic saturation is spread much like a domino-style, contagious
corruption, jumping from metal bond to metal bond, from prion to prion.
This phenomena is well


So once an individual’s brain is contaminated by this ‘freaky’ form of
ferrimagnetic manganese or strontium, any subsequent exposure to
external electromagnetic fields (eg, UV, sound waves, radar, cell
phones, etc) will permanently charge up the ferrimagnetically ordered
manganese prions to saturation point.

In this respect the TSE diseased brain can be likened to a solar
powered battery on continuous charge; where the manganese loaded/copper
depleted brain is no longer equipped to deal with the incoming surges
of electromagnetic energy from the external environment. Instead of
utilising this energy for the body’s own vital requirements, its
conduction is blocked and perverted into a potent force field for
neuronal suicide; whereby the magnetically saturated atoms emit
intensive magnetic fields, which, in turn, generate self perpetuating
‘cluster bombs’ of free radical mediated spongiform neuro-degeneration.
TSE ensues.

Hi, Andrew,

Thanks for the info! This is particularly interesting to me since just this past week I received a research article regarding copper deficiency leading to neurological damage in those with celiac disease. It makes me want to go suck on some pennies. lol I do have celiac neuro damage already.

I was really hoping he'd elaborate on the role of molybdenum a bit more, tho. He just makes reference to it as one of the factors which influence copper deficiency. Was my understanding correct that too much molybdenum is one of the causes of copper deficiency? I take molyb since I am gluten-free and do not eat grains as normals do. I have not been sure how much to supplement with, but with this info I would think I should keep it on the low side.

Thanks for sharing this info,
Diane

That is what it seems like to me (not too much molybdenum). Of course,
who knows how much each of us needs. I wouldn't go crazy taking
anything in excess (not that you are).
One more bit of info to process along with everything else.

Boy, it was just yesterday I was reading about copper and the effects
of overdose of it. I didn't think it would be pertinent here, and I
don't know where I was reading. Copper is easily overdosed, and
really causes troubles, so do be careful on that too. If you take
copper, make sure you also get zinc. (Also about iron feeding cancer
cells, when they can't be properly assimilated into the normal
cells.) Darn, it woulda fit in with this so well.

Molybdenum, well a deficiency of it increases emf and chemical
sensitivity, and I always do better when taking it. It seems our
diets are deficient in it too.

from my quick read, it looks as though it depends a lot on the
metals, the form they are in, and what they are hooked to-
wolfenite/moly. etc.  

Actually I think BSE is originally a GE'd item. Whether you want to
call it Mad Cow, whirling disease (fish), CJD, spongiform
encephilitis, etc., they are basically the same.

Something else intersting, people with CFS get brain lesions, they
heal, then new ones.  

I can't think right now,from whatever hit my head this morning. I
think Tayloka can shed some more light on the brain lesions,
fluoride, calcium channel blocking and all.

Thanks for posting the link.

Hi, Snoshoe,

I always get alot out of your posts! Thanks.

Molybdenum is also important for detoxing. And yes, I was surprised to find recent info in favor of adding copper due to what I have read about copper excess, too! I guess in celiac disease (and probably other gut permiability cases), copper is sometimes not metabolized correctly, so we need more of it, from what I read in the recent article I found on copper being necessary to avoid celiac neuropathy.

Interesting what you had to say about iron and cancer. This is something that is also very prevalent in celiac disease--too much iron circulating in the blood stream but not enough in storage or tissues. Cancers are prevalent in celiac d.

I personally think there is a subset of CFSers who have celiac disease. (I was one and I know of quite a few others). You mentioned CFSers having brain lesions that heal. Celiac disease causes that too.

If you figure out where you saw that article, please send it to me. Sounded interesting.

Thanks, Andrew. Each bit of info weaves into what is already known and soon we have whole cloth to work with. ;)

I appreciate all the info I receive here and alot of it has come from you.
