Pathways that Lead to ADD, ALS, MS, Parkinsons, & Alzheimer's Disease from Althea Myrie, Nutritional Therapist

Althea Myrie, CCN, was a guest on the Debra Ray Show today. She stated that exposure to toxic metals can cause ADD, ALS, MS, Parkinsons, & Alzheimer's Disease (only 5% of ALS is inherited). She discovered this by profiling her patients. How we are exposed to toxic metals was a surprise to me.

• Mercury - Mercury Amalgam Dental Filings - If you chew gum, you're exposure is 17 times higher.
• Cadmium - Every cigarette produces 3 mg of cadmium.
• Aluminum - Cola drinks containing phosphoric acid. Phosphoric acid strips away the lining of the aluminum can. Symptoms can mimic MS & Lupus in young people.

Heavy metals are stored in fat cells in the brain and central nervous system. From these fat cells, the heavy metals do their damage to the mylan sheath. The mylan sheath is the fatty protective covering of the nerve cells. Heavy Metals cause thyroid activity to be reduced by stopping the conversion of T4 hormone to T3. This will not show on a thyroid test. Thyroid functions to:

• Regulate the body temperature. Cold hands and feet when low.
  
• Accelarate remylanization of the mylan sheath.
• Regulate short term memory.
• Regulate libido.
  

She told about a patent whose mother smoked even during pregnancy. He was a drinker of cola in cans. By just stopping the cola drinks, he is now free of MS. Chelation will not remove the metals from the fat in the brain. She has a protocol that will do that. Althea said she will be back on the show, as they ran short of time.
