From the international Amalgam Mailing list : I translated following some sections from the Finnish mercury/heavy nutrition/treatment book by MD H. Osman, here is first section, I may later find energy to translate some small additional sections ... I think I did it partially some time ago, but I think this information may remain so important that it needs to be redone anyways, regarldless of some tautology ... The book ISBN is 952-90-1682-4, Sivistystaudit!, Raskasmetallit, hivenaineet ja vitamiinit ( in Finn ) Translated roughly : "Modern Civilisation dieases, heavy metals, minerals and vitamins " or so. This MD mostly treats mercury poisoned, aluminum poisoned, thallium ( rat poison ) poisoned, etc. and other people suffering from chronic diseases that can be treated with nutritional medicine. The need for stomach acids : ======================= Dr. Osman writes : " I once heard a doctor who lectured about nutrition to say that the stomach hydrochlorid acid is so important that all this acid reducing products should be banned by law. Too small amount of HCL prevents breakdown proteins, absorption of C-vitamin, promotes destruction of B-vitamins, and prevents absorption and entrance of minerals to the bloodstream so bad, that it could can cause anemia and osteoporosis. One doctor wrote in a medical journal of a woman, who had been seriosly ill and depressed for 17 years. The woman had visited numerous doctors, who had all found out that she suffered from deficiency of various B-vitamins, and so all those physicians had prescribed her various kinds of B-vitamin complexes. However, none of those helped her. When finally she was prescribed hydrocloric acid with each meal, she recovered fast and dramatically in few weeks, and stayed healthy ever since. My friend, ortopedist Leo Lauttamus told me once that he had had all of his patients' stomach acidity tested, and had found ALL to have deficiencies of stomach acid. He has suggested all of them to take teaspoon worth of 10 % HCL mixed in glass of kefir with each meal. Without this additional hydrochlorid acid, so little calcium was absorbed, that healing of broken bones after surgery was slow or impossible. If the HCL is not sucked with a straw, and mouth not flushed immediately, the acid could damage teeth. Therefore, doctors most often suggest taking glutamic acid HCL capsules. This specialist told, however, that at least 4-5 capsules are needed at a time, before the patients get enough HCL. Patient often do not take enough capsules to get the amount equal to the 1 teaspoon of 10 % HCL that is required for faster healing. The lack of stomach acid could come from deficiency of A, B1,B2 and B6 vitamins and/or deficiency of pantothenic acid, niacin amide, choline and other B-vitamins. In this case, in addition to HCL deficiency patients will also suffer from digestive enzyme deficiencies, and also the stomach does not move enough to mix the food with enzymes. Patients who where found to be deficient in pantothenic acid, were also found to have deficiency of HCL, pepsin, enzymes and deficiency of stomach and intestinal motility. Their healing needed 3 weeks of very high doses or pantothenate added to their diet. When digesting is worse, especially during disease, HCL capsules or liquid are needed as temporary support. Healing can not be expected if digestion and absorption of food is not efficient. If diet is kept suitable, the production of HCL normalizes in 3-4 weeks, and supplements can be discontinued after that in most cases. " Additionally, Dr. Osman talks about that infected gums and tender/cut oral mucosa are most often due to bacteria fermenting the poorly digested food in the intestines, and that B6 vitamin and acidophilus youghurt for example is very often very powerful in reducing such gassing for many people., and helping to heal the oral problems, if digestion is also improved with the above stomach acids and enzymes and B-vitamins etc. He states that often 4-5 capsules of enzymes are needed per meal and 1-2 per snack up to the month just like the HCL before normalisation will happen. Furthermore, he discusses of the intestinal motility and pantothenate, but mentions also that K, Potassium ( Kalium EU ) and B1 one are also very important for the intestinal motility. To repair the bad bacterial flora, he sees plain acidophilus youghurt the best, and mentions that if the bad fermenting flora is allowed to grow freely, it will produce *histamine*, which causes *allergies*, and releases so high amount of ammonia, that it irritates ALL intestinal mucosa's. When this ammonia absorb into the bloodrstream >from the intestines, it will cause nausea,even vomiting, reduced appetite and other signs of ammonia poisoning. ( Ray would like to add that quite many mercury poisoned suffer from high BUN and ammonia levels ... ). Because youghurt, kefir and acidophilus piima ( finnish drink ) and their root kill fermenting bacteria, should these be used during almost any disease. Some people possess bacterial flora that produces enzymes that destroy B1-vitamin. That is very typical with people who suffer from constipation. People, who eat raw fish ( sushi ) and shellfish etc., which contains this same B1-destroying enzyme suffer from B1 deficiency ( of any interest to Chris/Sam ? ). This enzyme can however be destroyed with acidophilus products ... He adds about burping and gas problems : In his opinion, most common digestive symptom is intestinal gas formation. Most often this is due to the poorly digested food that the fermenting bacteria attacks on and produces the gas. He states that if one suffers from gas due to fermenation, only answers are in the stomach acids, enzyme and vitamin supplementation. He additionally mentions that also Magnesium deficiency can cause poor intestinal motility, in addition to the ones mentioned earlier. One more perhaps important piece of information ( to be added to the Hg-Ring home-page information perhaps ? ) is that B6 deficiency is often found in people who suffer from bleeding rectal hemorrhoids. Those can be cured with enough active form of B6-vitamin. This was found to be so especially in women, and especially in pregnant women. It is added that of the hemorrhoids have to be removed with surgery, extreme concentration should be paid to the prevention of the scarring of the tissue. This kind of scar tissue could cause serious problems years later. ( Me, Ray, wants to add that I know that many mercury poisoned suffer from recurrent hemorrhoids, even myself sometimes, and it seems that we should never opt for the surgeries if we have other options like this B6 vitamin information .. ) Ray Top |
