• MANGANESE NUTRITION

    ByHealthWarrior

    Greetings iMedDo Newsletter Subscribers! Hope you are all having a wonderful summer. For this month’s episode, we meditate on Manganese! Manganese is a trace mineral nutrient surrounded in much mystery. It appears to be very evolutionarily ancient involved in energy metabolism and oxygen usage, where manganese interacts with many pathways, including calcium, magnesium, copper, and zinc and surprise! Iodine and thyroid hormones! Part one is for my general audience, and part two gets heavy into manganese biochemistry for my advanced readers. If you read this article you will be well on your way to Mastering the Manganese Mystery!

    MANGANESE ON PERIODIC TABLE

    Manganese (Mn) is element #25. It’s a transition metal in period 4 (4th row), group 7 (column 7).

    Manganese is element #25 on periodic table

    Manganese #25 is flanked by Chromium (Cr) #24 and Iron (Fe) #26, and it’s in the same column (Group 7) as Technetium (Tc) #43, Rhenium (Rn) #75, Bohrium (Bh) #107. Don’t confuse Manganese (Mn) with similarly sounding element Magnesium (Mg) which is #12.

    MANGANESE FROM MAGNESIA

    The words Manganese and Magnesium sound very similar because they are both from the same root word Magnesia an area of Greece & Turkey settled by the Magnetes tribe previous newsletter on Magnesium for more discussion. There was both a black ore and a white ore from Magnesia, and it is the black one that contains Manganese [the white ore contains Magnesium]. The manganese containing black ore from Magnesia is now know by the name pyrolusite which means “fire wash” and was used in ancient glass making to wash color out of glass as well as had applications for making different colors of stained glass.

    Pyrolusite, a Manganese Oxide ore used in glass making for color removal.

    Not only can manganese be used to remove color, it can be found & used in a variety of colors including even green, red, and purple. My favorite is the pink/red mineral composed of Manganese carbonate called Rhodocrosite.

    Rhodocrosite geodes (Manganese Carbonate Crystals).

    Gem quality pieces of Rhodocrosite can look even more beautiful than a ruby! The most famous specimen is the “Alma Queen” on display at the Houston Museum of Natural Science which is simply amazing here’s a picture! Wow!

    Rhodocrosite (Manganese Carbonate) Gem the “Alma Queen”

    MANGANESE SELF LOVE

    Last month I talked about the Ben-Ben stone on top of pyramids in episode Happy Slave Mind Control and told you that the secret to resisting the mind control is to love yourself more. Well it turns out that Metaphysically the Manganese gemstone Rhodocrosite if for Self-Love so that’s just perfect!

    CHEMICAL CHAMELEON: POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE

    In 1659, Swedish chemist Glauber fused pyrolusite ore (manganese dioxide) and potassium carbonate to obtain a material that when dissolved in water was GREEN (potassium manganate), which slowly color shifted to VIOLET (potassium permanganate), and then finally to RED a reaction now known as the “chemical chameleon” which was the first production of the super cool and useful PURPLE manganese containing chemical known as potassium permanganate (KMnO4).

    Potassium Permanganate is a purple salt used in chemistry lab

    Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) in liquid form is a strong oxidizing agent; and thus has many uses and is even a medicine in its own right comparable to hydrogen peroxide but stronger. Permanganate ions can be used as a germicidal antiseptic like iodine, and for water purification, but like hydrogen peroxide, requires dilution and careful dosing or can be dangerous if you get it in your eyes or ingest. I always remember potassium permanganate because I got to play with it and extract beautiful purple crystals in organic chemistry lab at Texas A&M University circa 2002. You can also combine potassium permanganate and glycerin as a firestarter as a cool survival trick.

    Potassium Permanganate (KMnO4) crystals

    MANGANESE METAL

    Manganese when in pure metallic form looks silvery in color and forms natural cubic crystal structure. When manganese metal flakes oxidize, they can turn a variety of colors. Below is a picture of manganese in metallic cube form as well as chips of manganese oxidized which you can see can also be a variety of colors (black, brown, blue, greenish etc).

    MANGANESE INDUSTRIAL USES

    The most common usage of manganese is as an alloy with iron to make steel. Manganese like Magnesium can also be alloyed with aluminum and 1% of aluminum cans are made of manganese. Also a large amount of manganese is used in battery industry as manganese dioxide batteries (zinc-manganese, lithium-manganese) such as common flashlight batteries. Manganese is also used in a fuel additive called  methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT), and in a fungicide pesticide called Maneb. It is possible for people who work in mining, smelting, welding, or battery industries breathing in manganese fumes, or exposed to high manganese containing water, to get exposed to too much manganese which can cause a Parkinson’s like neurodegenerative problem called Manganism.

    MANGANESE CAVE PAINTINGS

    Manganese mineral may have had more of an impact on humans than you might have realized. It turns out that the brown and black cave paintings such as the ones in Lascaux, France from 30k BC were made from Manganese oxide.

    NEANDERTHAL MANGANESE NUTRITION

    Manganite powder has been a common find in Neanderthal archeology sites. It is believed that the Neanderthals making cave paintings with manganese oxide were also using it as fire-starter! We will see that modern humans mostly get manganese nutrition from fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains, but even if neanderthals mostly ate only meat, it is unlikely they would be manganese nutrient deficient since they touching manganese ore for their art & smoking manganese ore in their fire-pits, an only a small amount of manganese is required for human function.

    HOW MUCH MANGANESE WE NEED?

    So how much manganese does a human need anyway? For quick answer let’s look at the NIH Fact Sheet for Manganese:

    Spitballing from the above tables it looks like humans only need about 2 mg of Manganese a day and adults can get up to about about 11 mg of manganese a day with no problem. The thing that jumps out is that the government thinks women need less manganese than men in general (1.6-1.8 mg Mn for women) but (2.2-2.3 for men) yet think women need more manganese when pregnant or breastfeeding (2.0-2.6 mg).

    Why do women need less manganese you might be wondering? I don’t think they do, I think this has to do with iodine deficiency & is related to iron. An important thing I learned is that both iron and manganese use the same receptors to absorb in the gut. So if you get too much manganese it could theoretically block iron absorption, and because many women are iron deficient (anemia) maybe that is why the government is recommending lower manganese for women than men. However, I think anemia for most women is being caused by either heavy metals like cadmium toxicity and/or low iodine (iodine deficiency), so instead of worrying about being low or high manganese just get more iodine (iMedDo detox system with NeuIodine) and when you iodine replenish and detox both your iron and manganese levels should return to normal.

    Babies need more manganese but no-one really knows exactly how much more so the government just says that there is no upper limit established* with note that baby should just get manganese from breastmilk or formula and recommends 0.003 mg for babies 1-6 months or 0.6 mg Mn 7-12 months. Likely they are saying so low for babies because they put iron in formula and are recommending formula 1-6 months and are worried that too much manganese will block iron absorption. My position is don’t use formula use breastmilk but if you want a comparison see article Breastmilk & Multivitamins where I compare formula to breastmilk to egg to multivitamin. All 4 contain trace manganese and natural breastmilk contains approximately 0.1 mg Manganese which is higher than either cow or goat milk.

    SUPPLEMENT MANGANESE OR NOT?

    Because manganese is easily obtained through diet and because too much manganese is possible I do not recommend you supplement any manganese in your diet other than what you get from eating healthy and small amount in multivitamin. I take the Power Source Once multivitamin created by Dr Calin Pop which has 10 mg Manganese (gluconate) 435% DV per serving. But each serving is 8 capsules so actually each capsule has where each serving is 8 capsules; so each capsule has 1.25 mg Manganese and I usually average about 1-2 capsules a day (I take less than the recommended dosage), so I probably get 1.25-2.5 mg Manganese a day from my multivitamin not including any sources from my diet. DrPop created his multivitamin recommendations for people with genetic problems who may need more nutrients than typical recommended daily values so you might need to take more but even if you take the full dosage of 8 capsules you are getting 10 mg Manganese which is still below the 11 mg recommended upper dosage for adults 19+ according to NIH table, and no doubt you can get 2-3x their upper tolerable level without any problems so I’m not worried about any overdosing on manganese in general. The one notable exception is that welders or certain occupations might be at risk for high manganese if they are breathing it in from welding fumes. When manganese levels get too hight it behaves as a quasi-heavy metal and becomes toxic and to detox you need more iodine, silver and gold is the iMedDo way. I don’t supplement manganese in general but there is a little manganese in my multivitamin.

    FOODS HIGH IN MANGANESE?

    If you don’t want to supplement manganese at all you can still get enough in your diet if you eat the right foods.

    Picture of Foods High in Manganese from DrAxe website.

    The NIH Fact Sheet for Manganese has a nice table of foods and their manganese levels:

    Looks like seafood, nuts, grains, fruits and vegetables basically if you eat healthy already you should be getting enough manganese. If you are all carnivore, you might want to throw some pyrolusite into your fire-pit that you grilling your meat on to make sure you getting enough manganese otherwise you might want to be sure to supplement a multivitamin.

    Also check out the NIH’s short 3 page Fact Sheet for Consumers for more summarized information about Manganese nutrition.

    PART TWO: MANGANESE BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE (ADVANCED)

    The general public doesn’t really need to know much about manganese as they get it naturally in plants and it’s very hard for them to get too much unless they are working in some manganese industry like aluminum welding or battery industry where they might get too much from aerosolized magnesium exposure. Manganese isn’t typically tested for in blood work and it’s not something most people need to worry about supplementing. That said, there is wisdom to be found by meditating on manganese nutrition which gets very complex very fast, so for those of you who can hang with me enjoy as I discuss the parts of manganese biochemistry that jumped out at me, and I hope that you can meditate on it as well and find your own breakthroughs for your own applications.

    MANGANESE & IRON

    The best starting place to think about manganese is to note that it is found naturally with iron, it’s also a neighbor or iron on the periodic table, and at first pass it appears that this adjacency of manganese and iron has highly influenced life. 3 observations linking manganese and iron are:

    1. Same receptors in the gut absorb either manganese or iron. More iron can potentially decrease manganese absorption and more manganese can potentially decrease iron absorption.
    2. The mitochondria have evolved to use manganese and iron together.
    3. Manganese in the brain when too high goes to area of high iron (basal ganglia: substantia nigra).

    So when I meditate on Manganese my first observation is: Manganese is kinda like iron, it’s next to iron on the periodic table, it’s a transition metal like iron. Iron is used for ancient oxygen chemistry. Manganese appears to be used heavily for oxygen chemistry. The same pathways in the body that deal with iron also deal with manganese. Too much manganese appears to disrupt iron pathways. Many women have low iron (anemia), and thus we should also ask do they have have manganese as well?

    COPPER TO IRON-MANGANESE OXYGEN EVOLUTION

    Ancient life appears to have at first used copper for oxygen chemistry and then we later evolved to use iron for oxygen chemistry. Manganese first appeared on my radar when I was meditating on copper see article Copper Containment where I made the following observations:

    1. Manganese is used with copper in the body.
    2. Iron is used with copper in the body.
    3. Copper electricity is harnessed by the body for oxygen metabolism.

    SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE

    The observation I’m making now is that both iron and manganese like copper can also be used for oxygen metabolism. Looking at copper and oxygen metabolism via superoxide dismutase enzyme we can make a very interesting evolutionary observation:

    An interesting thing to note is that in humans & yeast our anti-oxidant SOD proteins uses Copper-Zinc (Cu-Zn) pair whereas our mitochondria use an iron or manganese (Fe/Mn) compared to a bacteria which uses Nickel (Ni).

    SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE-2 USES MANGANESE

    In humans we have 3 superoxide dismutase genes SOD-1, 2, 3. SOD proteins 1,3 used throughout most of the body use copper and zinc whereas SOD-2 used only in the mitochondria can use either manganese or iron at its catalytic core. SOD proteins break down harmful oxygen superoxides into less harmful (but still harmful) oxygen molecule O2 and hydrogen peroxide (H202). Thus from SOD-2 we see that manganese is used as part of system that controls oxidative stress, and more SOD expression correlates with longer cell life. Thus manganese mineral nutrient is important for mitochondrial long life. Having a manganese SOD-2 in mitochondria may mean that the body can regulate mitochondrial cell death better by keeping them alive using manganese or maybe depriving the mitochondria of manganese if it detects an dysfunctional mitochondria. Iron is used in heme in cytochrome C in mitochondria to detect H202 and to control apoptosis so I note that Manganese via SOD-2 and Iron via Cytochrome C work together as an Mn-Fe pair.

    LONG LIFE

    Thinking about Cu/Zn & Fe/Mn in SOD we are getting really close to the secrets of long life.

    According to wiki on SOD-3: “Among black garden ants (Lasius niger), the lifespan of queens is an order of magnitude greater than of workers despite no systematic nucleotide sequence difference between them.[6] The SOD3 gene was found to be the most differentially over-expressed gene in the brains of queen vs worker ants. This finding raises the possibility that SOD3 antioxidant activity plays a key role in the striking longevity of social insect queens.[6]“

    Many people have too high Cu and too low Zn, and many people more common in women have too low Fe and too high Mn. This indicates a dysregulation of SOD and likely leads to shorter life from oxidative damage. I think that the key to fixing this is to get iodine and silver and gold.

    High copper can be balanced by gold, NeuGold nano-colloidal gold. It’s easy to take more zinc. But how do we fix low iron? Just taking more iron doesn’t work. Low iron can be caused by toxins such as cadmium so detoxing with iodine helps. If iron is too high can try taking more manganese. Getting more manganese into the mitochondria will help it live longer whereas silver works by shutting down dysfunctional mitochondria and iodine can both promote healthy mitochondria and shut down cancerous mitochondria. So Iodine + Manganese can work together to promote healthy mitochondria. Getting more manganese into your mitochondria by up-regulation of SOD-2 could result in longer life.

    PLANTS USE MANGANESE TO MAKE OXGYEN

    Let’s think about manganese from a different angle. We know it’s useful in oxygen metabolism as we discussed above but it turns out it’s critical to all life because plants need Manganese to create oxygen and without oxygen we would all die since we all exist in symbiosis with oxygen generating plants. Manganese is used in plants at the oxygen-evolving-complex in light generated photosynthesis. Looking at how it works multiple manganese atoms are used with an atom of calcium to create oxygen.

    X-ray crystal structure of the Mn4O5Ca core of the oxygen evolving complex of Photosystem II at a resolution of 1.9 Å.

    The magic happens when the fifth oxygen moelcule 05 is combined with a sixth oxygen atom (not shown) and diatomic O2 is released. Note how 05 is stabilized between two Manganese atoms (Mn1 and Mn4) as well as a calcium atom (Ca1).

    So nice of plants to make oxygen for us. Even nicer that we can eat plants and get manganese nutrition because they have 4 molecules of manganese in each of their photosynthesis oxygen evolving complexes.

    PLANT MANGANESE COMES WITH CALCIUM

    An interesting observation is that when we get manganese naturally from eating plants, each 4 molecules of manganese we get also comes attached to a calcium atom.

    So it is not surprising that manganese nutrition is somehow linked with calcium signaling. What is clear is that manganese deficiency results in bone & cartilage problems, so thinking about how calcium and bones interact with manganese is worthwhile to meditate on.

    MANGANESE OVERVIEW

    Manganese is used for Free Radical Defense Systems, Bone Formation, & Macronutrient metabolism. Manganese is also used in dozens of proteins and enzymes. Manganese is mostly found in the bones, also in the liver, kidneys and brain.

    We already discussed how it is used in free radical defense systems via SOD-2 in the mitochondria. It makes sense that manganese is involved in bones as it comes naturally in our plant diet complexed with calcium atom. What Manganese is doing at a deeper level with the bones and metabolism is a bit of a mystery so I’ll look at the dozens of manganese proteins in more detail for clues to this manganese mystery.

    MAGNESIUM & MANGANESE

    Manganese as Mn2+ form can sometimes substitute for Magnesium Mg2+ for stabilization of phosphates and thus could be used in energy pathways or enzymes that use phosphate energy (ATP, ADP, AMP etc). As an example let’s look at Manganese in detail in the brain protein glutamine synthase:

    GLUTAMINE SYNTHASE

    In the human brain, the manganese is bound to manganese metalloproteins, most notably glutamine synthase in astrocytes. Glutamine synthetase (GS) is an enzyme that plays and essential role in the metabolism of nitrogen by catalyzing the condensation of glutamate and ammonia to form glutamine. Glutamine as glutamic acid is an amino acid used to make proteins and also is used as a neurotransmitter. In fact glutamic acid is the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate nervous system. (Also it serves as the precursor for the synthesis of the inhibitory gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in GABAergic neurons.)

    Astrocytes protect neurons against excitotoxicity by taking up excess ammonia and glutamate. Because of its role in synaptic plasticity, glutamate is involved in cognitive functions such as learning and memory in the brain.

    Ergo, Manganese is important for learning and memory because it is necessary in brain to temper too much glutamate or too much ammonia in the brain since manganese is necessary for glutamine synthase which converts excess glutamate and ammonia into glutamine amino acid instead.

    So Manganese is part of an important brain neurotransmitter to amino acid to protein pipeline via glutamine synthesis interesting. Linking neurotransmitters to proteins to nitrogen metabolism manganese is important but what is it really doing?

    I suspect Manganese as Mn2+ is being used here as an alternative to Mg2+ as a phosphate stabilizer for the ATP dependent part and of the glutamine synthase reaction which uses a phosphate intermediate. I think manganese is just helping convert Phosphate energy stored in ATP into a useful chemical reaction using the Mn as a intermediate stabilizer/co-factor.

    To confirm I have to look at GS in more detail and figure out where the Manganese part is located and found this resource from a college inorganic chemistry course to help.

    The reaction uses Manganese as Mn2+ as I suspected.
    The reaction has a phosphate intermediate from ATP and maybe MN2+ is used to stabilize
    GS protein looks like a big donut. Where is the Manganese exactly?
    There’s the Manganese!

    “Each active site can be described as a bifunnel in which ATP binds at the top and glutamate binds at the bottom. Two metal cations lie at the center of each active site. The enzyme is functional with either Mg2+ or Mn2+ in the active site, however Mn2+ is more common despite the fact that it slightly slows down the activity of the GS enzyme.5 GS catalysis is faster with Mg2+, however GS selects Mn2+ because it binds to the enzyme with higher affinity.7 “

    Okay that was lot of work but it was worth it. Yes I confirmed that that as I suspected Manganese is Mn2+ is functioning exactly as I would expect Magnesium as Mg2+ to behave. Mg2+ stabilized Phosphates and it looks like my hypothesis that Mn2+ can do the same is correct since this GS protein can be functional with either.

    For the brain timing is important so the observation that the Mn2+ does the same as Mg2+ but slightly slows down the GS enzyme is interesting especially when you read about the GS protein in detail it has many other modulators (glycine, serine etc)

    Turns out in GS there are actually TWO Manganese atoms used, one as a catalyst (blue) and the other as as the phosphate stabilizer (pink)

    Manganese is an “oxygen stabilizer”! Carbon-Oxyen & Phosphate-Oxygen in the GS protein reaction.

    Malfunction of GS in the brain can lead to neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, glioblastoma multiforme, anxiety and depression. Manganese plays a central role in how this GS enzyme works as it needs Mn to function but can substitute with Mg if needed. It’s nice to know such an important pathway has a backup system. Also note that if your brain runs out of both Manganese and and Magnesium you are in trouble.

    ENZYMES THAT CONTAIN MANGANESE

    Besides SOD-2 and glutamine synthase which we talked about above, other manganese containing enyzmes include oxidoreductases, transferases, hydrolases, lyases, isomerases, & ligases.

    ARGINASE

    Arginase is a manganese containing enzyme of the hydrolase family, the final enzyme in the urea cycle. It is ubiquitous to all domains of life. It turns arginine plus water into ornithine plus urea. In humans and all mammals it allows the disposal of harmful ammonia into urea to be excreted via urine. Mn2+ ions coordinate with water, orienting and stabilizing the molecule and allowing water to act as a nucleophile and attack L-arginine, hydrolyzing it into ornithine and urea. Arginase-1 is located in the cytoplasm and hepatocytes (liver cells). Arginase-II is located in mitochondria and several tissues most abundantly in kidney and prostate. Arginase is expressed with nitric oxide synthase in smooth muscle, and is a controlling factor in both male erectile function and female sexual arousal.  Therefore, manganese dysregulation can result in problems with sexual function.

    PYRUVATE CARBOXYLASE

    Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) is an enzyme that turns pyruvate into oxalate and requires either magnesium or manganese + Acetyl-CoA to function. As we saw earlier in the glutamine synthase enzyme as well, Mg2+ or Mn2+ are being interchangeable here because function is to stabilize phosphate residues during ATP dependent energy steps.

     

    Pyruvate carboxylase uses a covalently attached biotin [Vitamin B7] cofactor which is used to catalyze the ATP– dependent carboxylation of pyruvate to oxaloacetate in two steps. Because PC enzyme is used in gluconeogenesis, the production of sugar, connections between manganese and diabetes suppression have been postulated.

    When manganese is used it also requires an Acetyl-CoA a molecule that participates in many biochemical reactions in protein, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.

    MANGANESE ABSORPTION

    Manganese is absorbed in the small intestine through an active transport system, and possibly through passive diffusion as well when intake levels are high. After absorption, some manganese remains free, but most is bound to transferrin, albumin, and plasma alpha-2-macroglobulin. Manganese is taken up by the liver and other tissues, but the mechanism of this process is not well understood. Humans absorb only about 1-5% of dietary manganese and infants and children tend to absorb more. Infants absorb much more 20% of dietary manganese. Manganese absorption is regulated as evidenced by absorption efficiency increasing with low manganese intakes and decreases with higher intakes, but little is known about the mechanisms that control absorption. Men tend to absorb Mn less efficiently than women possibly because men tend to have higher iron status.

    BULK MANGANESE

    The human body contains about 10-20 mg manganese of which 25% -40% is in the bone. The liver, pancreas, kidney and brain also contain manganese.

    *I think every cell in the entire body contains some manganese since is used in the mitochondria and all cells have mitochondria. (SOD-2 protein for example).

    MANGANESE ELIMINATION

    More than 90% of absorbed manganese is excreted via bile into the feces, and a small amount is reabsorbed. Very little is excreted in urine.

    *Even though manganese is not excreted much in the urine, it’s effect on creating urine cannot be overstated since is used in arginase to make urea (the main component of urine). So I’m really surprised to hear not much manganese comes out of the urine.

    MANGANESE & IRON

    Dietary iron intakes and iron status (measured from serum ferritin concentration) appear to be inversely associated with manganese absorption. The mechanism for this effect is unknown but the shared transporter of iron and manganese in the intestine might play a role.

    MANGANESE ABSORPTION BLOCKERS

    Iron rich foods or supplements have been show to lower absorption of manganese. Phosphorus and calcium may also decrease your retention of manganese but at a lower amount compared to iron.

    DIETARY SUPPLEMENT TYPES

    Mn in dietary supplements is present in many forms including amino acid chelates (e.g. manganese glycinate chelate, bisglycinate chelate, manganese glycinate chelate, and manganese aspartate). Other forms include manganese gluconate, manganese picolinate, manganese sulfate, manganese citrate, and manganese chloride.

    *The multivitamin I take and recommend uses Manganese Gluconate. PowerSourceOne uses Manganese (Gluconate) 10 mg 435% DV per serving. Serving is 8 capsules so is 1.24 mg Mn/capsule. I don’t recommend taking stand alone manganese supplements just get the small amount of manganese you need from plant diet and multivitamin is plenty. However if you have HIGH iron confirmed by blood work you might consider taking a manganese supplement but in general is unlikely you are low in manganese, and be careful as too much manganese can become toxic.

    MANGANESE TOXICITY IN WELDERS AND WATER

    Manganese can have neurotoxic effect in large amounts. This is uncommon unless you are inhaling manganese or are drinking water with too high manganese levels. Inhaled manganese say if you are an aluminum welder (1% manganese in aluminum alloy) can cause inflammation of the lungs with symptoms that might include cough and bronchitis. High levels of manganese (>300 microgram Mn/L) are associated with reduced intellectual function in children. Manganese is also required for proper baby brain development and is not inherently neurotoxic.

    *When you are iodine deficient it’s more likely that manganese will be toxic to too you whereas when you detox your body can eliminates any excess metals it doesn’t need.

    *It’s still better to have well water with too much manganese in it than it is to drink fluoridated water.

    MANGANISM

    “Exposure to high levels of manganese during fetal development can result in neurocognitive deficits, which in adults; manganese accumulation in the basal ganglia can lead to decreased dopamine levels and cell death in a syndrome called manganism which shares multiple features with Parkinson’s disease.” Early symptoms of manganese neurotoxicity include fatigue, headache, muscle cramps, loss of appetite, apathy, insomnia, and diminished libido. Manganism is initially characterized by the psychiatric disorder, locura manganica with symptoms including compulsive or violent behavior, emotional instability, and hallucinations.

    MANGANESE FROM PLANTS

    The most natural source of manganese is from plants. The reason is that plants use manganese for photosynthesis as part of their oxygen evolving complex (OEC). Manganese is used with calcium for function of oxidizing individual oxygen molecules into oxygen O2 diatomic molecules which plants release into the atmosphere. So without manganese used by plants we wouldn’t be here because we need oxygen to live.

    DIGESTION

    Manganese helps with protein and amino acid digestion and utilization, as well as the metabolism of cholesterol and carbohydrates.

    VITAMINS

    Manganese helps body utilize a number of vitamins such as choline, thiamine, and vitamins C and E, and ensures proper liver function.

    BLOOD CLOTTING

    Manganese plays a role in blood clotting and hemostasis in conjunction with vitamin K.

    VASODILATION

    Manganese is a known vasodilator, which means it helps enlarge veins to efficiently carry blood to tissues like the brain.

    PANCREAS

    Manganese is heavily concentrated in the pancreas. It’s involved in the production of insulin, which removes sugar from the blood. Thus, manganese may contribute to the proper secretion of insulin and help stabilize blood sugar.

    THYROID

    Manganese plays a role in the production of thyroxine. Thyroxine (T4) contains 4 molecules of iodine and is the inactive form of thyroid hormone. Thus there is a connection between manganese and my favorite topic iodine. Iodine deficiency and heavy metal toxicity and halogen toxicity results in defective or dysregulated thyroid hormones and other dysregulation of minerals such as manganese which is a problem if it either gets too high or too low. It’s almost impossible to run out of manganese in your body as abundantly found in plant diet and stored in your bones, but it is easy for the manganese to get too high if your body is asking for more iodine and can’t find it. Body sends the signal to make more iodine containing thyroid hormones (T4) via TSH via brain dopamine which is affected by manganese levels. Too much manganese has bad effect by accumulating in high iron part of the brain in the basal ganglia known as the substantia nigra and can disrupt dopamine as well as TSH and other thyroid hormones. Manganese deficiency could cause or contribute to hypothyroid condition, which may contribute to weight gain and hormone imbalances.

    REFERENCE: EFFECTS OF MANGANESE ON THYROID HORMONE HOMEOSTASIS

    Soldin OP, Aschner M. Effects of manganese on thyroid hormone homeostasis: potential links. Neurotoxicology. 2007 Sep;28(5):951-6. doi: 10.1016/j.neuro.2007.05.003. Epub 2007 May 13. PMID: 17576015; PMCID: PMC2067987.

     

    *Don’t worry about being low in manganese for your thyroid just get more iodine and it should fix itself as you detox hormones and mineral levels including manganese should rebalance. It’s very hard to run out of manganese unless you just completely stop eating any plants. For carnivores doing a paleo diet maybe you need to throw some manganese into your fire-pit like the Neanderthals did if you don’t want to eat any plants. Humans are omnivores so eat some meat and plant matter is my personal strategy. 

    DOPAMINE

    “Dopamine is a known inhibitory modulator of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) secretion. The involvement of dopamine and dopaminergic receptors in neurodevelopment, as well as TSH modulation led us to hypothesize that excessive manganese exposure may lead to adverse neurodevelopment outcomes due to the disruption of thyroid homeostasis via the loss of dopaminergic control of TSH regulation of thyroid hormones”

    *The paper hypothesizes that too much manganese can adversely affect your brain, dopamine and thyroid hormone regulation.

    OSTEOARTHRITIS

    Combining manganese with glucosamine and chondroitin may reduce osteoarthritis pain.

    *I recommend Frankincense and berries for osteoarthritis (NeuGold for Rhematoid arthritis).

    WOUND HEALING

    Manganese is present in an enzyme that provides amino acid called proline. Proline is necessary for the production fo collagen in your skin cells. Collagen formation is essential to wound healing, and wound healing can be slowed down with manganese deficiency.

    *Manganese deficiency is rare, I put Neusilver on wounds for wound healing.

    Some research shows that putting manganese calcium and zinc on chronic wounds for 12 weeks may improve wound healing.

    *Zinc does help with some skin conditions, had a friend break out in a chlorine rash after getting into a over-chlorinated pool and she broke out in hives. I had her apply zinc oxide suncreen and it made the itching stop. Whether manganese mixed with calcium and zinc is better for wound healing than just zinc I’m not sure but worth a shot. Typically I just use NeuSilver on skin wounds and they heal very fast usually without a scar.

    FERTILITY

    Manganese deficiency though rare can result in low fertility such as testicular shrinkage. Manganese deficiency in animals has been found to cause skeletal defects like curved spine, shorter and thicker limbs and enlarged joints.

    MENSTRUAL CYCLE

    Low levels of manganese might contribute to pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS).

    *I’ve heard of women taking NeuGold to help with PMS, but apparently taking manganese might help as well. I’m not a woman so ladies let me know if works.  What works better for PMS: NeuGold or Manganese? If anyone has any data on or personal experience on that let me know.

    From what I know now, I suspect you might also want to try taking Magnesium as both Gold is known to unblock the +2 divalent metal pathway that is blocking probably both Manganese Mn2+, and Magnesium Mg2+, and also maybe try zinc (Zn2+) and calcium (Ca2+)

    DIVALENT METAL TRANSPORTER

    Neurons, contain divalent metal transporter (DMT1). DMT1 is a major transporter for manganese and is functionally important with regard to the necessity of stable homeostasis of manganese in in extracellular fluids for optimal brain function. Rat studies show that injected manganese within 5 minutes can be found in the choroid plexus and then cerebrospinal fluid indicating it was let in by DMT1 transporter.

    IMMUNE SYSTEM

    Manganese may have a role in the immune system for natural immunity along with iron and zinc. “Unlike zinc, there is little information regarding the effects of manganese deficiency on immune development and function. There are, however, limited data suggesting that toxic levels of manganese may impair immune function. Further, emerging data have revealed that vertebrates resist bacterial infections through manganese sequestration.”

    *Invading pathogens fight with your body for iron. Iron feeds bacteria. It’s not surprising they might fight for manganese as well but the data sounds too sketchy to comment further.

    CONCLUSION

    My take is that Manganese nutrition is not a problem for vast majority of people. What is a problem for vast majority of people is iodine deficiency. Manganese problems and iodine deficiency overlap in symptoms because of manganese’s use in dopamine/TSH/thyroid hormone pathway. If you think your manganese is out of whack try the iMedDo detox system. Studying manganese gave me insight in iron problems, magnesium problems and let me look at iodine and thyroid neuroendocrine regulation of metabolism in a whole new light. Manganese and Iron are used instead of Copper and Zinc for mitochondrial suppression of oxygen free radical in SOD-2 which is exciting as we are narrowing in on very useful information for how to live longer when we mediate on manganese nutrition, so thank you for reading and thinking about Manganese! I’m not sure if we mastered the mystery but at least we have a good starting platform which I hope you of all reading levels found useful. For those of you with advanced training you will note how much about manganese is simply unknown, so I hope this article simply peaked your interest and will inspire some future generation to look more deeply into this and related topics.

    Namaste,

    PS Manganese from Magnesia is sacred to the Ancient Great Goddess. It has the power to make babies healthy or to murder you if you take too much or get too cocky like Niobe. Manganese meditation took me to a dark but beautiful place in human history where slaves working in mines and went insane, rebelled when they learned the truth that we are all one with God and created in God’s image. Pyrolusite is a component of the Philosopher’s Stone. Great Goddess energy is back as we are all being treated like mine slaves again with the covid jabs, the results never end well. End of civilization for some, start of a new Golden Age for others.

  • HAPPY SLAVE MIND CONTROL

    ByHealthWarrior

    Greetings iMedDo subscribers. If you are are reading this article it means the propaganda above didn’t work which clearly said DON’T READ THIS ARTICLE! How dare you think for yourself and read anyway! lol Good job! Hope you are all having a great summer. I am anticipating more incoming mind control attacks in the near future surrounding the US election cycle so in this article I will go over the attacks we have seen and are currently under, project future attacks and show you the secrets of how the attacks work and how to counter them.

    The thesis of this article is that an Egyptian style weaponized third eye attack is being used in the USA and across the world and that the secret to recognizing it and to countering it rests in ancient Egyptian gold knowledge. In this article we explore how gold is used correctly for healing and protection and good and God whereas fake gold is used for bad, evil, and Sauron style dark sorcery mind control to enslave all of humanity. A weaponized third eye mind control attack was used during the Covid19 plandemic to trick people into poisoning themselves with the vaccine. Because the people who orchestrated the attack have not been brought to justice we can anticipate further attacks inbound soon and we all need to be mentally prepared to resist their mind control and the secret to doing that is self-love.

    TURN THAT FROWN UPSIDE DOWN

    Doing what someone else wants you to do that you do not want to do generally makes one unhappy. Doing what you want to do generally makes you happy. I saw this funny pic of a storm trooper helmet worn upside down which gets across the point.

    The storm trooper an unhappy clone slave warrior from the Star Wars fictional universe who is being mind controlled by a chip in his brain to be the muscle for the evil Emperor who sees everthing as has everything under technological and magical (dark side of the force) surveillance. But flip his helmet upside down and he looks like a happy free monk with a beard lol.

    HAPPY SLAVERY MIND CONTROL

    You can be happy or unhappy whether you are doing what someone else wants you to do or doing what you want to do. However, if you are doing what someone else wants you to do and it is not your choice then you are a slave. As a slave you can still be happy or unhappy. The holy grail of would be mind controlling slave masters is to get their slaves to do what they want and to be happy about it.

    Slaves are not allowed to own property, and a mind controlled slave is one who is happy about it. Claus Swab and the World Economic Forum are working hard to turn the all humans into their happy slaves. Swab is openly doing an evil Emperor impersonation and he’s not joking around I think he really does known the secret to weaponize third eye mind control which is a trick that dates back to ancient Egypt and requires gold knowledge to counter.

    ANCIENT EGYPT GOLD KNOWLEDGE HAPPY TRICK

    I have reason to believe that the ancient pyramids were filled with liquid gold and that they emitted a happy healing aura and also wireless electricity that influenced the people around them and contributed to the success of an an ancient civilization that is long lost to time. The great pyramids of Giza are the oldest seven wonder of the world and the only one still standing which indicates they are from a very distant advanced civilization which had superior technology to those who came later. According to the Bible the Hebrews were slaves and escaped Egypt. According to archeology the people who worked on the pyramids (or at least maintained them, I think they were built far earlier than conventional archeology admits) were not slaves instead they did it for payment in beer. Did you know that a 0.2 blood alchohol content gives you a buzz making you feel “happy”. Also colloidal gold like in red stain glass in a church which they also had in ancient Egypt also can make you feel happy and connected to God. Drinking liquid gold was for priests as it connected them to God and today you can drink NeuGold colloidal gold and it will do the same making you happy (calms inflammation, alleviates depression, calms angers and has a wealth of healing and spiritual health effect on top of that).

    EGYPTIAN SLAVES OR FREEMASONS?

    I personally believe that the people who originally built the pyramids were not slaves but rather were free people working the stone out of love of country and payment in beer and just basking in the divine aura they felt when being around the pyramids full of liquid gold.

    However, I could be wrong and it could be that these people really were slaves but were under a mind control to work all the time and be happy about it.

    The difference between happy or unhappy was whether or not the pyramid was turned on and whether or not they were getting enough grain and beer payments to keep them happy for the masonry work they doing.

    EGYPTIAN INFLUENCE IN THE USA

    Around the founding of the USA 1776 when we were allied with France to defeat our British monarch overlord there was a profound interest in Egypt. Shortly thereafter after the American revolution was the French revolution and the French emperor Napoleon invaded Egypt (1798-1801) with teams of scientist and engineers to try to discover the Egyptian secrets which was likely shared with USA via freemason secret society. The great pyramid was put on the Great Seal of the USA in 1782

    If you study ancient egyptian religion you will find the pyramid is also associated with the Pheonix and thus the American Eagle next to the pyramid is an Americanized Egyptian Pheonix (Bennu bird). Just be aware America is VERY EGYPTIAN whether you realize it or not.

    Interest in Egypt in the USA stayed strong with renewed vigor when the tomb of King Tut was discovered in 1922. The goddess attire depicted in the tomb influenced 1920’s style female flapper outfits.

    The influence of Egypt on the US persists even to this day as since 1935 the pyramid was put on the back of every dollar bill in the USA since 1935.

    Originally the pyramid with eye on top was supposed to stand for God as the “Eye of Providence”, however it has come to stand for the MIND CONTROLLING “Evil Eye” of Sauron and Mass Surveilance to our new AI overlord as the new world word takes over to make us all their happy slaves.

     

    BEWARE THE HAPPY SLAVE ATTACK

    I want my readers to know that there is really is such as thing as an Egyptian style weaponized third eye attack which in its most sophisticated form attempts to turn you into a happy slave. If you are like me and prefer to be free and happy then heed my words as I expose how it works and how to counter it.

    The happy slave attack from ancient Egypt really has been deployed in the USA and recently has been deployed all across the world and is growing in sophistication and thus you need to grow the sophistication of your Egyptian gold knowledge if you wish to counter it and I’m her to help.

    In it’s most sophisticated form the happy slave attack is a weaponized use of the third eye where the attacker projects love but it’s a deceptively false fake love which is an attempt to mind control you into loving the authority figure be it a leader or a government. In current most sophisticated form the third eye attack is taking the form of propaganda, words are magical and can convey truth or lies, when used for lies as in propaganda especially when used in conjuction with censorship and especially when used in conjuction with new technology like AI censorship where words can be massed censored by keyword.

    The person doing the lying with a secret intent to harm or kill or enslave you uses propaganda and censorship to achieve the goal. If they achieve the goal of mind controlling you to harm yourself against your will it is only the first step, secondly they must make you think their projected love is real love and then when you do what they tell you to do your mind equates it with self love and they you become happy to comply as you interpret it as healing and protective whereas in reality you are being mind controlled to harm yourself and others or to do whatever they want as a slave and to be happy about it.

    We recently saw about 75% of people fall for this mind control when they were persuaded by propaganda to get the poison jab giving themselves vaccinosis. Most of these people actually were mind controlled by fear based attack (fear the virus so get this jab, or be afraid to lose your job and get this jab), but a fraction of people actually succumbed to the darker sorcery of full blown happy slave attack.

    The ones who fell completely actually loved the pharmaceutical companies for poisoning them and took the jab out of a sense of self love and were harming themselves and their families like out of “love”. Many a grandparent perished alone not allowed to visit or hug wearing a face muzzle was a terrible time 2020-2022 during the vaccine war.

    SELF LOVE IS THE SOLUTION

    If you love yourself and really know what love feels like then you will not succumb to happy slave attack. The solution is self-love. I travel from fair to fair teaching people how to use their third eye and a mandala mirror to project love to yourself which results in healing, protection and has the added benefit of making one immune to Egyptian style mind control. The way I do it at fairs is that I pass out sample of the iMedDo detox system which uses iodine to detox and activate the third eye along with colloidal gold and silver to protect. Then if you’ve ever seen me in person at a fair you will notice that I have the iMedDo detox system on an art stand called the NeuMandala (pictured below made by artist Aaron Baird).

     

    Then you gaze straight down on the NeuMandala and it looks like this:

    Then line up the center of their your third eye (forehead area) with the center of the art, and look below at your own reflection. You should see your own face with a halo of gold an silver around your head reflected. This is a mandala, a spirit mirror and you are looking at your own inner divine self, then tell yourself “I love you”.

    What you have have just done is that you have used your third eye to project love to yourself. Fell what it feels like is protective and healing. When you known what your own self love fells like you will not fall for projected love mind control such as the happy slave attack. For the happy slave attack to work they have to project a false substitute love that people who do not known what real self love feels like will fall for. Don’t fall for it, love yourself and your neighbor as yourself this is the golden rule.

    BEN BEN STONE

    What I figured out recently is that what I am doing is actually training people how to correctly use their third eye to project love at themselves using a mandala mirror of silver and gold. What Aaron Baird created in the NeuMandala the way I have been using it is what the Egyptians would call a Ben-Ben stone.

    The word Ben means gold , and the ben-ben stone means the “Gold-Gold” stone which is better translated in English as the “Gold-Silver” stone or the “God stone” refering to the use of Electrum which is silver and gold together as well as refers to the concept of “spiritual gold” or “complete divine gold”.

    Note that whereas most Ben-Ben Stones are pyramidal in shape used for toppers of pyramids and obelisks that Ben-Ben stones found in temples could also be round as is the NeuMandalla which I have recently identified as being a modern type of ben-ben stone.

    The NeuMandala created by artist Aaron Baird is a round Ben-Ben stone using Lapis, Sodalite and Sunstone in the middle to stimulate the third eye (used in conjunction with NeuIodine to stimulate the third eye) and also uses silver and gold leaf to reflect your own love light back at yourself (using in conjuction with NeuSilver and NeuGold for protection and amplification).

    When a ben-ben stone was used as a pyramid topper it could also be called a pyramidion or a Benbenet as the third eye was considered femine in nature as should make sense if and when you read my prior article on the pineal/third eye

    Ben ben stones come in a variety of shapes and size and carving, many have been lost but the best one still in existence is in the Cairo museum which is nice because its inscriptions are largely intact. It speaks of Seeing the beauty of God (Triple God/Gods/Trinity) and of giving the the pharoah eternal life. For full translation can watch this video.

    The third eye is winged solar disk, the two eyes below it are referring to left and right eyes (moon and sun), and the three little guitar looking things with crosses on top of them (neter hieroglyphs, three of them neferu) are representative of God as a trinity and was translated as “see beauty”. In the Egyptian mythos the Ben-Ben stone pyramid topper is envisioned as the Eye (triple eye actually) and humans were created from the eye tears of joy when the created came back and the supreme god concept was able to see again.

    SECRET OF THE BEN BEN

    The Ben Ben stones that we see topping pyramids and round ones in temples that have been lost but has been found again in the Neumandala supposed to be used as reflective mandalas. Most of them don’t reflect anymore as their electrum plating stripped off, and they are supposed to be left out in sunlight not hidden away in dark museums. The secret is that the actual rock stone part is actually the mirror part, and the actual ben-ben stone is the “stone” of your own pineal i.e. your own third eye. The way the healing works is that you are uniting your own body and your own three eyes (left eye, right eye and third eye) with the supreme God concept. The supreme God concept to the Egyptians was left eye (moon), right eye (sun) and third eye (milky way). The secret of the Egyptian religion was thus similar to Greco-Buddhism where you are uniting your own body’s inner divine with the cosmic divine and that is how the Pharoahs were attempting to achieve eternal life. The secret of the ben ben being your own third eye means we can all connect with God already we don’t each need our own pyramid or tomb or temple but we each do need something that we find beautiful to be used as a reflective mandala mirror so that we can see our true eternal selves.

  • CADMIUM DETOX

    ByHealthWarrior

    CADMIUM DETOX

    Greetings iMedDo newsletter subscribers! Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer. In this episode we are going to look closely at an often overlooked toxic heavy metal known as cadmium. My goal is that you have a basic understanding of where cadmium exposure comes from, problems it causes in the body, and how to detox cadmium using iMedDo Detox System and mineral rebalancing.

    WHAT IS CADMIUM

    Cadmium is element 48 on the periodic table. Cadmium is a soft silvery white transition metal and is a toxic heavy metal. In general elements heavier than element 34 are toxic, and cadmium is no exception. The notable exceptions of elements larger than atomic number 34 which are not toxic are: silver (47), iodine (53) & gold (80), all three of which are used in the iMedDo detox system.

    CADMIUM WAS DISCOVERED AS A ZINC IMPURITY

    Cadmium was discovered in 1817 by German chemists Stromeyer & Hermann while they were analyzing an impurity which they thought at first was arsenic that was naturally occurring in zinc ore. The zinc ore was called Cadmia named after the Greek hero Cadmus (Kadmos), and was used in making calamine lotion. Because the new element was isolated from the Cadmia they named it Cadmium which kinda makes sense, and is also cool because it means the element Cadmium is also indirectly named after the Greek hero Cadmus as well (see Appendix: Mythology of Greek Hero Cadmus).

    SOURCES OF CADMIUM TOXICITY

    The primary use of cadmium is in Nickel-Cadmium rechargeable batteries. Although exposure to cadmium from battery industry is possible, it’s not thought to be a major source of cadmium toxicity.

    Instead the main source of cadmium toxicity is from fertilizers and cadmium contaminated soils and from diet from plants grown in cadmium contaminated soils.

    Cadmium used to be used in PVC pipes but is no longer, and cadmium and cadmium toxicity can also come from a variety of industrial applications such as cadmium used on metals an an anti-corrosive, and cadmium used in nuclear industry, and used in semi-conductor industry.

    Another potentially serious source of cadmium toxicity is from cadmium paints used from yellow, orange and red dyes. Cadmium sulfide is yellow and cadmium selenide is red.

    Breathing cadmium dust is more toxic than eating it certain industries like sandblasting cadmium paint into a dust and inhaling can have higher cadmium toxicity.

    Most people with cadmium toxicity will probably never even know it as you’ll just think you have some other metal toxicity like mercury or lead, as many of the heavy metal symptoms are all the same like headache, anxiety, nausea, acne, low energy etc.

    Cadmium toxicity is most well known for causing renal failure and bone problems though causes full body problems from mineral disruption like zinc mimicry. Cadmium does interfere with calcium signaling but even worse it shuts down the mitochondria in the kidneys and without kidney function calcium problems are exacerbated even more. Cadmium toxicity is amplified by fluoride, aluminum, and low iodine and amplified with other toxic heavy metals. Iodine is a very important part of combating cadmium as iodine promotes mitochondria and energy.

    PERIODIC TABLE GIVES CLUES AS TO CADMIUM’S TOXICITY

    Looking at cadmium on the periodic table we can see it’s in group (column) 12, which include: Zinc/Zn (30), Cadmium/Cd (48), Mercury/Hg (80) and Copernicium/Cn (112).

    Copernicium is radioactive and toxic and does not occur naturally so doesn’t really matter. Of the three naturally occurring ones, zinc, cadmium and mercury, zinc is known to be a critical nutrient, whereas cadmium is toxic and mercury is uber toxic.

    Mercury is believed to be the most toxic of all the heavy metals tied only perhaps with lead. Being in the same family as Mercury is not a good look for cadmium. Like Mercury, I presume even before learning more about cadmium that it is also toxic and that it’s primary mechanism of toxicity is likely as Cd2+ ions interfering with zinc Zn2+ ions, and potentially also interfering with other +2 signaling pathways such as calcium Ca2+ and Magnesium Mg2+ as well though will have to read more to confirm.

    Doing a quick search is looks like cadmium toxicity can cause respiratory damage, Renal (Kidney) damage, Skeletal Lesions, Osteoporosis and Anemia, Anosmia (loss of smell), and yellowing of the teeth.
    https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/csem/cadmium/Chronic-Effects.html

    Searching in more depth I was able to confirm that as I suspected just from looking at the periodic table, and being a biochemist to notice, that Cadmium does in fact interfere with Zinc, & does interfere with Calcium & Magnesium.

    Doing some more reading I also found that Cadmium interferes with Manganese, and Copper and Iron as well.

    In fact it appears that Cadmium interferes with Manganese the most.

    Manganese (not to be confused with Magnesium) is an important nutrient that I have not yet written a newsletter about. I have written newsletters about Zinc, Magnesium though which also talk about Calcium.

    If you’ve forgotten an important take home from zinc article is that there are 3000 known zinc proteins which is a whopping 10% of the human genome’s 30,000 encoded proteins use zinc.

    So Cadmium interfering with zinc is bad news as can potentially interfere with 3k proteins and also interfere with zinc ion (Zn2+) signaling.

    Taking more zinc does help with cadmium poisoning to an extent but what is found to help even more is taking manganese.

    Zinc is balanced by copper, and when body is tricked into thinking its zinc levels are too high (from cadmium mimicking zinc) taking more copper helps (but don’t do that) instead take gold. iMedDo NeuGold. Gold is a superior conductor to copper in the nerves, and when the body gets untracked and realizes that it’s not actually high zinc, it’s high cadmium imitating zinc, then it is glad that you didn’t over copper as not enough zinc around to balance but with gold can mineral balance safely.

    A very important thing I learned while researching cadmium is that cadmium can be detoxed using iron. Normally people do not need to supplement iron, but interestingly with cadmium poisoning one of the most common side effects is anemia (low iron) because the body is using up the iron to detox the cadmium. A few years ago I wrote an article on iron, and the issue of iron anemia was confusing to me. But now I see if you have chronic anemia, you very well could be dealing with cadmium toxicity, detox and if that was the problem the anemia should go away. I eat off of cast iron skillets so I’m not really worried about either low iron, but if my iron was low even while I was eating off of iron skillets at least now I know something that could be causing that! Cadmium toxicity.

    CADMIUM POISONING IN JAPAN: ITAI-ITAI (IT HURTS, IT HURTS) DISEASE

    The most well known case of cadmium poisoning was in Japan in 1912 when a mining company was releasing cadmium into a river. Coined as ITAI ITAI or it hurts it hurts disease, the locals drinking from the river and eating rice grown from the cadmium contaminated river water developed severely painful spine/bone and joint problems as well as softening of the bones and kidney failure.

    CADMIUM POISONING CAUSES BONE SOFTENING SPINAL DAMAGE

    From the Japanese we learn that the main problem with cadmium poisoning (besides kidney failure) is that it causes softening of the bones. This is a serious problem if your spine softens and you get micro fractures in the bones which can be extremely painful as happened to the Japanese with Itai-Itai disease. Bone softening is a clue that cadmium interferes with calcium pathways and likely magnesium and other bone pathways. We known know that cadmium interferes with manganese and zinc nutrients in particular, and much of the calcium interference is from the kidney damage.

    CADMIUM POISONING CAUSE KIDNEY DAMAGE

    Cadmium can make kidneys shrink by up to 30% and rather than re-uptaking enough calcium back into the blood, nutrients such as calcium (and magnesium and zinc and others (manganese in particular seems important with cadmium toxicity) too much of them are lost. The result is softened bones from the kidney damage.

    CADMIUM TOXICITY SUMMARIZED

    Cadmium heavy metal is toxic because like both mercury and lead it can form a +2 ion that interferes with +2 ion signaling in the body. In particular cadmium interferes with the same things lead and mercury interfere with (zinc, calcium, and magnesium), and additionally interferes with manganese, copper and iron. It goes without saying that cadmium toxicity will also result in low iodine as body has to expend iodine to detox it.

    CADMIUM DETOX SUPPLEMENT CHANGES

    Normally you should already be supplementing the above things (zinc, calcium, magnesium, manganese) in your multivitamin(s).

    But it is not normally recommended to supplement copper or iron.

    But with cadmium poisoning supplementing copper and iron is okay, but an even better way is to instead of supplementing copper and iron is to supplement gold and silver.

    So if you are just going along and taking your iMedDo detox system and a great multivitamin (I endorse PowerSourceOne created by DrCalin Pop) then you should be fine for cadmium detox.

    If you want to get fancy, if you knew for certain you had cadmium toxicity then you might want to up your magnesium and especially your manganese supplementation, and if you are confirmed to be iron anemic from the cadmium poisoning then also supplement iron.

    MANGANESE & ZINC FOR CADMIUM DETOX

    The most interesting thing I learned about cadmium toxicity that I was not aware of before writing this article is the importance of manganese in addition to zinc but even more so than zinc for cadmium detox.

    Fortunately, although toxic, cadmium is not as toxic as either mercury or lead. I suspect that because zinc is used so ubiquitously in the body (see my zinc article, 3000 known pathways) that our body has ways of separating out and limiting the damage of the cadmium as cadmium is a common contaminant of zinc in our diet.

    SULPHUR & SELENIUM

    Additionally as a +2 charged cadmium ion Cd2+, the body uses both sulphur (S2-) and selenium (Se2-) charged molecules for detox.

    IODINE FOR CADMIUM DETOX

    The way I’m familiar with for detox is that body uses iodine as a universal oxidant of heavy metals (and iodine is used by the body as an anti-oxidant in other pathways).

    SILVER & GOLD FOR CADMIUM DETOX

    Because silver is known by me to be the direct antidote to Mercury and gold to lead and both mercury and lead Hg2+ and Pb2+ are similar in charge to cadmium as its preferred Cd2+ ion form, then likely either silver or gold or both will be useful in detoxing cadmium. I’m not sure which will work better so to be safe just use both silver and gold as well as iodine in iMedDo detox system and you will get the cadmium out.

    COPPER & IRON VS GOLD & SILVER

    Normally you wouldn’t supplement copper or iron, however with cadmium toxicity, you can. However, I believe that supplementing gold instead of copper and silver instead of iron is even better. The iMedDo way is to not worry about supplementing copper or iron, as instead you are supposed to be supplementing silver and gold along with iodine using the iMedDo Detox System.

    CADMIUM CARCINOGEN

    Cadmium is a known carcinogen and promotes cancer. Based on my current understanding of medicine, it’s most likely from mitochondrial disruption, and using both iodine and silver is the solution, and note that all three iodine, silver and gold in iMedDo system are anti-cancer so don’t worry about cadmium carcinogenesis, just detox and it will go away.

    SILVER & IODINE VS CADMIUM AT MITOCHONDRIA

    Silver shuts down mitochondrial cells that have become cancerous.
    Iodine shuts down mitochondrial cells that have become cancerous and also promotes more mitochondria to be formed.

    Because primary cadmium toxicity is killing kidney mitochondria, it is important to take both iodine and silver together not just silver alone when detoxing cadmium, and as discussed above, gold is useful for cadmium detox as an alternative to copper.

    IRON & CADMIUM

    Besides kidney failure, the other most common side effect of cadmium poisoning is suppressed red blood cell formation (erythropoiesis). An surprising discovery while reading about cadmium detox is the iron can be used to detox cadmium and in particular iron in the body is used up to detox cadmium. So cadmium toxicity comes with anemia (low red blood cells) as then there is less iron to to around to form hemoglobin in red blood cells.

    CADMIUM COVID CONSPIRACY

    Because cadmium poisoning can cause “flu like symptoms”, and because cadmium anemia would look a lot like malaria parasite, and because cadmium poisoning in the air could cause serious respiratory problems, I had never thought about it but if the entire covid pandemic was faked, then cadmium poisoning could have been used to do it. I’m not saying it was, I’m just pointing out that sneaky poisoners have many ways to trick us into thinking we have a virus when it could just have been caused by a metal toxicity.

    CADMIUM CHEMTRAILS

    There is a documented declassified case in the 60’s of the UK spraying cadmium on their poor citizens. Normally when I think about chemtrails I’m thinking about barium, aluminum and strontium but now I’m also thinking about cadmium. It seems entirely plausible that cadmium toxicity sprayed as chemtrails to damage the lungs and cause flu-like symptoms and then activation by 5G could in fact be deployed as a bioweapon, and possibly it has already been deployed, very disturbing thoughts. Cadmium is much more readily absorbable in the lungs 10-40% whereas when eaten is only a few percent absorbed.

    NUTRIENT DEPLETION EXACERBATES CADMIUM POISONING

    The body when it gets low in zinc or manganese in particular in an attempt to absorb more in the diet will also absorb more cadmium. Thus having good nutrition protects against cadmium poisoning.

    THE IMEDDO WAY

    The iMedDo way is to be in a constant state of detox. The goal is that by taking iMedDo detox system that you will detox toxins like cadmium out faster than you are taking them in. There is a small amount of cadmium naturally occurring in soil from zinc ores and a large amount of cadmium in many foods from cadmium contaminated crop fertilizers, so even if you are eating healthy you are being exposed to cadmium, so just keep detoxing and you will stay healthy.

    Namaste,

    APPENDIX: MYTHOLOGY OF GREEK HERO CADMUS

    Cadmium named from the zinc ore Cadmia is thus also indirectly named after the Greek hero Cadmus from which Cadmia ore was named. Cadmus was a Greek hero like a proto-Hercules who is as far as I can tell also and Orion constellation reference and a milky way reference which gives the word cadmium access to magical qualities. The mythology of Cadmus is very interesting as he is the Phonecian who brought the Phonecian alphabet to the Greeks (Boetia area), and he has a fascinating mythos related to dragons, dragons teeth, the Spartans and a host of greek gods and goddesses and European cow mythology (Zeus and Europa).

    https://www.britannica.com/topic/Cadmus

    Cadmus was the brother of Europa, and Boetia is “Cow City”. Because Boetia Greece was conquered by Alexander the Great 335 BC, it is interesting to me to look towards the Greek Ptolomy dynasty of Egypt founded in Alexander’s legacy for syncretic study of ancient Greek mythology with ancient Egyptian mythology. Cadmus would be the hero comparable to Egyptian Hero/Heru, and is the same as Hercules also being an Orion constellation reference. The story of Cadmus and his wife Harmonia being transformed into dragons is thus not surprising, as the red nebula behind the Orion constellation is the dragon here and the milky way can also be imagined as a dragon. An interesting thing to me is that as Europa’s brother it would be up to Cadmus to avenge his sister for her being raped by the God Zeus, and sure enough like Prometheus, Cadmus is a human rather than God imagining of the Orion constellation, and when you imagine yourself as God when you look at the Orion constellation instead of seeing it as Zeus or Thor or Perrun or some other god holding the milky way as a thunderbolt then indeed Cadmus like Prometheus would be seen as the God-slayer encoding Greco-Buddhist astrotheology.

    April 2023 iMedDo newsletter by DrBenGo Healthwarrior iMedDo.club/news

    Greetings iMedDo Newsletter Subscribers! Happy Easter! Going into April 2023, a lot of things are going on both globally and locally which I think are important to discuss. Global topics for this episode are: Vaccine War Update, Twitter Free Speech, Bitcoin & Gold Alternative to US dollar. Local updates is the upcoming NEEM holistic festival on April 29th near Chattanooga (Ringold, GA) which is going to be amazing!

    MILITARIZED MEDICINE

    The biggest news so far in 2023 in my opinion are the shocking revelations that the entire vaccine war was one big military operation where the US military ordered weapons demonstrations using the vaccine companies as cover.

    Not run by the department of defense but rather run by the intelligence agencies. So everything has been CIA play acting but the deaths have been real. People trying to get and stay healthy have been victims of a war, the Vaccine War where our own government has been terrorizing our own people. Very sad. Many casualties and more projected.

    END OF EMERGENCY

    The presumably CIA operative wearing a mask of the face of President Biden has recently signed executive order ending the emergency (emergency declared by the unelected WHO (world health organization) [Gates funded terrorists]). If you’ve been following Robert F. Kennedy Jr, then you will know that they no longer need a fake emergency declared to push the vaccines with a fake immunity because they already got them added to the childhood schedule giving them immunity. American children are the losers. So it’s big news the “emergency” is over, but the real emergency has only begun as world war three draws nigh since the criminals in government who have perpetrated this mass vaccine fraud on the American public have not yet been brought to justice, and the fate of America is in the balance as the unelected fake president Biden or whoever is wearing his face is running us into the ground. We as a nation have failed to protect our children and our civilization is flagged for destruction as an empire, but hopefully those of us loyal to the individual freedom and the US constitution can preserved the decent parts of America while the American Empire collapses.

    DE-DOLARIZATION & GOLD FINANCIAL EDUCATION

    I’m hearing from multiple sources that de-dollarization is coming. To confirm I read the book of top financial educator Robert Kiyosaki author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad whose new book Capitalist Manifesto which I read in full as background for this episode confirmed.

    Kiyosaki’s information revealing how censorship is part of communist takover really resonated with me this month as iMedDo experienced a little dose of communism when YouTube took down our “How to Detox a Vaccine” video labelling it as misinformation. It wasn’t misinformation but it did go against their party agenda to keep people ignorant on solutions for the vaccine poison.

    Kiyosaki’s solution to communism is in large part financial education. Here’s some of what you need to know:

    US was started in 1776 as a tax revolt and was tax free.

    The federal reserve was created in 1913 as was the IRS so tax could be used to create an artificial demand for US dollars mandating them to be used to pay taxes. The Fed is the third central bank in US history & needs to be gotten rid of again.

    After world war II in 1944 at meeting called Bretton Woods (United Nations Committee), the world agreed to use the US dollar as a reserved currency because it was backed up by gold at the rate of $35/oz of gold.

    US broke promise in 1971 when Nixon took the US dollar off the gold standard. Kiyosaki’s book Capitalist Manifesto was very interesting as he really got into his Vietnam War experience concerning this tumultuous time period 1971-1974 when US went off gold standard but it was still illegal for Americans to own gold (1933-1974) as he was behind enemy lines trying to buy gold.

    The world would likely have ditched the dollar shortly thereafter but in 1974 the US made a deal with Saudi Arabia. The US agreed to protect Saudi Arabian (muslim royalists) in exchange that they would only sell their oil denominated in US dollars. This created a gold independent demand for US dollars as countries had to buy US dollars just so they could buy oil. This was the birth of the petro-dollar. I remember as a child my grandfather who was a petroleum engineer going to Kuwait to put out oil fires and was wondering why he was over there, now I get it: petrodollar.

    In 2021 the US pulled out of Afghanistan angering the Saudi’s who are now in talks to sell their oil for other currencies not just US dollars. A coalition known as BRICS has formed (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South America) who want to buy oil not in US dollars which if joined by the Saudi’s will spell the death of the US dollar. The projection is that as soon as Russia & China & other countries who join the BRICS monetary alliance start trading oil & other commodities not in US dollars, and especially if they back their new non US dollar currency up with gold that the US dollar is over as a global reserve currency. This is the collapse of the US dollar. Other countries don’t want to use the US dollar because the US (via private central bank Federal Reserve) keeps printing more money causing inflation making saver countries into losers, so they want to ditch their dollars if they have a gold backed or oil backed alternative as soon as they can. Can’t blame them.

    US DOLLAR COLLAPSE PREDICTIONS

    From what I’m hearing from Kiyosaki and others is that they way the dollar collapse will play out is that as soon as the other countries start buying their oil not in US dollars that the foreign demand for US dollars goes away. Those US dollars come back to American and cause hyperinflation as they are on top of the US dollar money printing which has already been causing inflation. The prediction is that prices of goods and services will increase, and the prices of paper assets such as stocks and bonds will collapse and also real estate will collapse.

    KIYOSAKI CHANGES HIS TUNE: SUPPORTS BITCOIN NOW

    In the past Kiyosaki has been primarily been promoting real estate, but now he is primarily promoting gold, and amazing he now is promoting Bitcoin as well which is new. It makes sense as the dollar collapse is going to cause a big drop in the real estate market, so he is buying gold and bitcoin, and then after the impending real estate collapse when the dollar collapses then he will likely then be able to borrow debt money (US dollars) using his gold as collateral which he can then use to but real estate back up at low prices. makes sense.

    BITCOIN

    Kiyosaki said he got into bitcoin at 6k, so he’s doing good there as bitcoin (BTC) is at 30k last I checked.

    ADVANCED BITCOIN

    Because I have been following bitcoin since 2017, I can tell you that if you buy bitcoin BTC, you should also consider diversifying and also buying some bitcoin BSV (BitCoin Satoshi’s Vision is ~$35/coin). The reason is that it’s the version of Bitcoin that is able to scale and is being artificially censored and suppressed. Kiyosaki primarily recommends buying physical gold (& silver). Here’s my take (not financial advice): I agree with Kiyosaki about buying gold and bitcoin. However, to really make buying gold work for you, you need to figure out the trick of using gold as asset on a balance sheet to be used to obtain a bank loan (US debt dollars) which can be used to purchase more assets after the crash. An interesting observation if you compare the price of gold to the price of different cryptos you will notice that the price of Ethereum crypto tracks closely with the price of gold. I don’t get why, but the market has spoken where Ethereum appears in my opinion to have become the “digital gold”, BSV at $35/coin appears to be the “digital silver”, and BTC at way higher 30k appears to be the “digital diamond”. And like a diamond the price is artificially too high, but because of coming dollar collapse gonna go higher or at least maintain value and with Kiyosaki’s endorsement of Bitcoin, it’s here to stay.

    IMEDDO FOUNDATION ACCEPTS BITCOIN VIA ROCKWALLET

    iMedDo Foundation will accept any bitcoin or crypto that can be held by rockwallet.com (BTC, BSV, BCH, ETH, etc). I prefer BSV. The old iMedDo.com website actually is on the BSV blockchain and accepts BSV via moneybutton wallet. However, over the years the moneybutton wallet for BSV has gone out of style. I thought Bitcoin was dead but appears to be making a comback with impending dollar collapse and Kiyosaki financial guru endorsement. The problem with Bitcoin and crypto is that none of them seemed to work smoothly on iPhone iOS. I was impressed recently to see that Rockwallet.com had both BSV and iOS support. I tested it out and like it so if you want to donate bitcoin or crypto of whatever type for the gift of iMedDo detox then contact me healthwarrior@imeddo.com or schedule appointment iMedDo.club/book for assistance.

    ELON’S TWITTER, FREE SPEECH & COMMUNIST BBC

    A very important event I want all my readers to known about is that Elon Musk bought Twitter. Twitter is a social media site which was instrumental in Trump winning election as president then which got taken over by communists and was instrumental in censoring free speech up until recently. In Kiyosaki’s book Capitalist Manifesto, he talks about capitalism saving the day over communism, but the guy who is doing it in real life right now is Elon Musk. He was recently on an interview with the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) defending free speech and truth on twitter against state funded censorship of what they consider to be misinformation but are not qualified to determine, they are just state sponsored propaganda. According to Elon there were 8k twitter employees he fired all of them except about 1500. Many of these employees were on the censorship committees blocking free speech and labelling truth as misinformation. Only time will tell but I am hopeful that Elon will deliver to continue making twitter a place for free speech and truth. I was censored from Twitter for 2.5 years for speaking out against Bill Gates but am back on there now since Elon bought it and so far so good. Follow me DrBenGo Healthwarrior @healthwarrior1. Apparently, Elon like me does not like Bill Gates but possibly for different reasons. I don’t like Bill for killing millions with the vaccines, and Elon doesn’t like Bill for making a 1/2 billion dollar short of his Tesla stock. Either way enemy of my enemy is my friend.

    CENTRAL BANK DIGITAL CURRENCIES (BAD)

    A related but importantly difference topic of bitcoin not to be confused with is central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). The difference is control. No-one controls bitcoin (decentralized miners) so they cannot print more and is harder (but not impossible) to control or censor (bitcoin is censorship resistant but not censorship proof). It is thought that after the US dollar collapse that central banks will try to implement CBDCs that they control so that they can continue to print money and censor transcations of their political opponents. I am against all CBDCs and happy to see that people like Ron DeSantis in Florida is speaking out against them already. Central Bank Digitial Currencies are bad and bitcoin is good, and the difference is that one can be printed causing inflation and will be controlled by a central bank who like with the US dollar will likely weaponize it against those who use it. Bitcoin is better. According to Kiyosaki’s book Capitalist Manifesto, a central bank is 90% of communism which can be summed up by a destruction of all private property. So hopefully the US central bank (the Fed, actually a private bank) will collapse with the US dollar, and noone will adopt a new central bank in the form of CBDCs. Instead the utopian dream is to have a decentralized currency controlled by no country or bank where people can transact peer to peer. That is the Bitcoin dream. Will it work? Only time will tell.

    DOGE PREDICTION

    Elon Musk is a big supporter of Doge coin “doggy coin” which was the first real meme coin which was derived from Bitcoin. I heard Elon say he stepped down as CEO of Twitter and made his dog the CEO (a doge coin endorsement), and he replaced the bird twitter log with the doge coin dog logo (another doge coin endorsement). Elon claims he is going to make a phone and a laptop to computer with Apple, and if he does and if people use it and if it uses Doge natively for money or if he adds doge payments to Twitter and if he keeps promoting doge coin on twitter it might be expected to increase in value. It’s a much less safe investment than either gold or bitcoin, but is still something to watch for. I predict that Elon will eventually drop supporting doge and will start supporting bitcoin SV (BSV) once he realizes it’s the useful bitcoin that scales (is able to grow to accomodate larger data sizes and transaction volumes).

    BEFORE ELON BUCKMINSTER FULLER

    An important message from Kiyosaki from his book Communist Manifesto is to pay attention to a now deceased pre-Elon futurist known as Buckminster Fuller. As a chemist I had heard of him as the Bucky-ball fullerene carbon chemistry was named after him. But I had never studied him. Apparently he was a big inspiration for financial, spiritual, mathematical and futurist ideas on Robert Kiyosaki and is a much more important guy than I realized check him out. Kiyosaki recommends the book “GRUNCH of Giants” by Bucky Fuller, is now on my reading list. Elon Musk is the futurist of our day much like Bucky Fuller was the futurist of Kiyosaki’s day.

    “We are meant to be the architects of our future not its victims” Buckminster Fuller

    PARTIAL TENTATIVE ENDORSEMENT OF ELON MUSK

    iMedDo Foundation endorses some of the recent things Elon Musk is doing and saying related to supporting free speech and truth on Twitter. We do not endorse his trans-humanist views of merging humans with robots. Also I’d rather stay on earth and enjoy the magnificent diversity of life than go to Mars, but I do think his rockets & thinking big goals are cool, and as a scientist I support his commitment to science/truth. I don’t care so much about his electric cars, but I am excited if he can deliver on a better cell phone and computer, then maybe I’ll look at his cars more. If we could arrange a pay-per-view fight between Elon and Bill Gates, that is something iMedDo would be willing to endorse =). Besides iMedDo has something cooler going on locally check it out!

  • iMedDo QC Color Guide

    ByHealthWarrior

    Greeting iMedDo Newsletter Subscribers, and happy March 2023. I’ve been doing a media blitz of video interview for which I’ll share links if you missed, so I’m going to keep this month’s written newsletter very simple. I just want you to be able to recognize what color iMedDo products are supposed to be so that if you notice a difference that you can contact me for product replacement. An amazing feature of iMedDo products is that they are amendable to visual quality control.

    COLOR OF IMEDDO PRODUCTS

    In general all the products have a color to them and if they turn clear they need replacement.

    NEUIODINE

    NeuIodine is generally golden/yellow in color. If it turns clear it needs replacement. Below is a bottle of NeuIodine that is 5 years old (left) and a freshly opened bottle (right) for comparison. 

    NeuIodine is a 6 month supply for a woman using 4 drops a day, or a 1 year supply for a man using 2 drops a day, so ideally each bottle of NeuIodine should last a full 1 year after being opened, and in an ideal world a full 2 years on the shelf when unopened. It is rare for iodine to go bad less than 6 months but when it does most common cause is a defective dropper cap, so I recommend doing visual quality control color check each time you use the products to verify is still good. If turns clear just contact me healthwarrior@imeddo.com and send me your address and a pic of the clear iodine along with your shipping address reminder so that I can replace it as per iMedDo 100% satisfaction guarantee. iMedDo distributors be sure to check your NeuIodine inventory every 3-6 months by holding the unopened bottles up to the light to verify it still has a color to it, or if looks clear contact me for replacement inventory. 

    NEUGOLD

    NeuGold is generally a light pink in color. If the NeuGold turns clear or some other color then contact for replacement. Below is a bottle of NeuGold that has gone bad (left) and a freshly opened bottle (right) for comparison. 

    NeuGold is much more stable and less prone to going bad than NeuIodine. It’s very resistant to high temperatures but can be damaged by frost (freezing temperatures) and may prematurely turn clear in areas of 5G, so it’s important that people in Northern climate and those in areas with high wireless radiation such in cities pay attention to the color of your NeuGold so that you can contact me for replacement if it turns clear. NeuGold is a 6+ month supply so ideally each bottle of NeuIodine should last a full 1 year after being opened, and in an ideal world a full 2 years on the shelf when unopened. 

    NEUSILVER 

    NeuSilver is generally amber-brownish in color & if it turns clear or some other color (clear with silver or black flecks) then it needs replacement. Below is a 5 year old bottle of NeuSilver (left) next to a fresh one (right). Both bottles are still good! The older silver bottle is slightly darker from light silver oxidation but still is amber-brownish in color. 

    NeuSilver is very stable and rarely goes bad. Because of this it’s a really great item for long term storage like in a first aid kit. If it does go bad is very obvious visually as will look clear with grey or black flecks. 

    NEUELECTRUM

    NeuElectrum is a blend of NeuSilver & NeuGold at 25% concentration and because of this its color is a blend of lighter amber-brown with lighter pink which taken together comes out looking rather yellowish. Below is a fresh bottle of NeuElectrum (left) next to a bottle that has been frost damaged because I left it in my car when it got to below freezing. 

    SUMMARY

    iMedDo products generally have a color and if they turn clear they need replacement. I didn’t go into the details of why the color and color change, for now I just want you to be able to recognize what color the products are supposed to be so that if you products look some other color you will immediately be able to recognize, and contact me for replacement as per iMedDo 100% satisfaction guarantee.

  • Unclog Your Heart With iMedDo

    ByHealthWarrior

    Greetings iMedDo newsletter subscribers! Happy February 2023, Happy Year of the Rabbit, and Happy Valentine’s Day! You will notice that iMedDo has new updated brochures for 2023 & also cool news iMedDo is co-sponsoring the NEM (Natural Earth Market coming up in Ringgold, Georgia coming up at the end of April, so exciting year ahead to look forward to. I’ve been doing monthly chats about iMedDo newsletters with Courtney McMahon and if you missed the last one here is the link. She keeps calling me golden eagle, and sure enough as I was stargazing at the rabbit constellation (Lepus constellation) underneath the Orion constellation and then it turned into a golden eagle! I was so distraught & scatter brained last month with my father’s passing I forgot to send out the January newsletter, but I did write it! Here is link: Father’s Blessing. For this February Valentine’s special episode I have an important heart health message to share: if your arteries are blocked with calcium and fat deposits that the underlying cause is that the calcium is stuck because of fluoride toxicity. So if you know people at risk of heart attack, suffering from blocked arteries (arteriosclerosis or atherosclerosis) and they are being told that they just need to eat less fatty foods, that’s not good enough, let me explain how calcium fluoride is the root problem and what you can do about is to use the iMedDo Detox system where iodine and gold will detox the fluoride and silver will protect the body as it is flushed out.

    ARTERIAL PLAQUES: WHAT IS CAUSING THE BLOCKAGE?

    People are being told by mainstream medicine that their arteries are blocked because of calcium deposits and fats and cholesterol is this true? It’s not false but it’s a half truth because it does not address the root cause of the blockage. What mainstream medicine is not telling you is WHY the calcium is getting stuck, it’s because it’s binding to something, what is that something?

    CALCIUM FLUORIDE

    The answer is that calcium is getting stuck because it is binding to fluoride. Calcium as Ca2+ calcium ion with positive two charge is a ubiquitous signaling molecule throughout the body and is meant to bind to things yet remain water soluble. Unfortunately, when fluoride toxic halogen is present, calcium forms an insoluble salt (calcium fluoride, CaF2 where there are two fluoride iodine (F-) for each Ca2+ calcium ion.

    Fluoride is a major environmental crisis right now, I’m in the American Chemical Society and they are talking about how the EPA is trying to have stricter regulations on fluoride as it is being used so widespread in industry and that PFAS (poly-fluoridated alkyl substances) which are known to be toxic to life and to bioaccumulate in the environment are coming up positive when tested for everywhere they look. Fluoride is added to processed foods on purpose which is completely the opposite of nutrition, it’s a mass poisoning going on.

    Even if you have wisely stopped using fluoridated toothpaste and stopped drinking fluoridated tap water (which you must do!), you are still being exposed to fluoride and other halogens like bromine in ways you are not even aware of too numerous to list but main ones I’m aware of now are fluoride being added to processed foods and bromine being found in flame retardant paper products (paper plates, paper towels napkins etc) but there are not doubt many more, with fluoride and halogens being found in water & air is a real problem.

    IMEDDO STRATEGY AGAINST FLUORIDE POISONING

    The iMedDo recommendation is to first eliminate all the known vectors for fluoride that you know about (water, toothpaste) , and then assume you are still being poisoned in ways you don’t known about. Then the iMedDo strategy is to be in a “constant state of detox” so that any poisons you are not aware of are eliminated FASTER than they are coming in. You want your rate of detox to be greater than the rate of toxic exposure which if you are using iMedDo System you can be assured it will be.

    CALCIUM FLUORIDE BLOCKS ALL TISSUES NOT JUST ARTERIES

    Fluoride is a systemic poison affecting all the tissues in your body adversely so I’m going to focus on arterial blockage and how iMedDo system unclogs the arteries but know that it unclogs ALL of the body as well. Most popularized is that calcium fluoride blocks the pineal gland at the blood brain barrier resulting in a “calcified” or more accurately a “fluoridated” pineal. Additionally calcium fluoride can nucleate kidney stones and suppresses all organs and tissues in the body. Fortunately, calcium fluoride can EASILY be removed with iMedDo system but for people not using iMedDo removing fluoride is a real nightmare because most people can’t figure out how to do it because only several things which are not things most people think to try will actually work which I will now explain:

    3 WAYS TO DETOX CALCIUM FLUORIDE

    There are ONLY three ways that I’m aware of to detox calcium fluoride, but only two of these three ways will work for detoxing it from the blood to unclog arteries. 1. iodine 2. gold. 3. lower pH. Iodine especially nascent iodine in NeuIodine in iMedDo detox system is the direct antidote to fluoride. 2. For many years I thought that iodine was the ONLY way to detox fluoride. But in 2019 I discovered(re-discovered) a lost secret that gold can also detox fluoride. The way it works is that nano-colloidal gold releases monoatomic gold and each atom of gold can detox 3 molecules of fluoride. This is why gold can also detox and restore function to a calcified/fluoridated pineal and why gold can also detox fluoride from the arteries and unclog the heart! 3. A cool chemical trick to detox insoluble calcium fluoride is to lower the pH (use acid) to help it dissolve, Unfortunately we can’t use this trick in the blood to unclog the arteries because the blood is pH buffered. But we can use the trick to assist in getting the calcium fluoride out of the body later when it gets to the urine. The way to do it is safely and naturally is to use apple cider vinegar which is acetic acid (& malic acid) which will help the body flush the calcium fluoride out once it’s already been removed from the blood. The blood goes through the kidney organs where the body decides which water soluble ions are returned to the blood and which ones are sent to the urine to be excreted.

    SUMMARY: I have 3 tricks to detox calcium fluoride: iodine, gold and apple cider vinegar. Of these only iodine and gold will work for unclogging calcium fluoride out of the arteries. You can also do apple cider vinegar to assist the urine phase of the detox. I’ve already written how iodine and gold can be used to detox kidney stones and note that apple cider vinegar also helps with kidney stones.

    So good news if you want to unclog your arteries just use the iMedDo Detox system. It already contains iodine and gold which are the ONLY two things that I am aware of to the best of my knowledge that will ACTUALLY unclog your arteries.

    Once again if I wasn’t clear: The root cause of arterial blockage is calcium getting stuck because of fluoride. The only way to detox fluoride out of the blood is iodine and gold. iMedDo system contains both of these STRONG ARTERY UNCLOGGERS as NeuIodine & NeuGold in a triple system with NeuSilver which also aids in fluoride detox.

    HOW THE IMEDDO SYSTEM WORKS

    NeuIodine will DIRECTLY break down calcium fluoride deposits. Iodine is critical for detoxing fluoride & is a STRONG detoxer of fluoride. Dose ramping is required so as not to detox the fluoride too fast. iMedDo system is safe with built in dose ramping where you increase by one drop per week. Starting at 1 drop a day, Men work up to 2 drops a day, women work up to 4 drops and pregnant and breastfeeding women work up to 6 drops. The iMedDo detox is a 6 month detox system, but your body will actually flush fluoride out very fast in the first week, typically in the first day, typically with the first drop of NeuIodine you ever get within 20 minutes! After taking your first ever drop of NeuIodine you might get thirsty and then you have to go pee and you might see cloudy urine or crystals in your urine the first few times you pee for the first day you start to detox as calcium fluoride crystals are flushed out immediately. This really works hundreds of people have done it successfully. The most problem with detoxing fluoride is typically just the very first time you ever use NeuIodine, if you have any fluoride in your body it will flush out into the bloodstream, swirl around in the blood for a few minutes possibly causing a headache or hot flash or a little nausea and then into the urine typically within 20 minutes, and you would feel nausea or headache or hot flash as it happen if you didn’t also take NeuGold. Gold negates the toxic effects of fluoride on your brain as it come out (gets rid of headache) which is why you should always use gold and silver at the same time in a triple system when using iodine as they protect the brain and body from the fluoride as the iodine flushes it out.

    NeuGold will also break down calcium fluoride deposits but to a more limited extent than iodine. You should take 1 drop of NeuGold a day but if you get a headache take 3 drops gold under the tongue. Headache will go away or dial back 50% within 5 minutes sometime less usually immediately within abut 2.5 minutes or within about 20 minutes if you drank the gold in water instead of putting it under your tongue. It’s important to take gold especially the first time you take NeuIodine as it will prevent you from getting a headache as the fluoride flushes out of your blood into urine. I have already written about how Gold is known to cause the heart to regenerate and is a critical part of all detox including calcium fluoride detox, lead detox and detoxes much more as well.

    NeuSilver will not break down calcium fluoride but it will protect the body, blood and arteries from fluoride damage on its way out and thus silver is a critical part of fluoride detox to support the iodine and gold for unclogging the arteries. Additionally silver has another heart protective feature. I have previously written about how Silver is known to aid the platelets in the blood to protect the arteries from damage, so although it doesn’t break down the plaques directly like iodine and gold it will protect them. Additionally silver will protect your body from nitrates from fatty food like bacon which can accumulate in the fatty buildup around calcium fluoride deposits. Fats and cholesterol are not the problem for heart blockage, it’s fluoride (as calcium fluoride) that is the problem. Do not listen to doctors who tell you not to eat bacon or eggs, but do get nitrate free bacon and get natural organic eggs. If you detox and eat nitrate containing fatty meat occasionally is okay as the silver will detox the nitrates, but if you do not do iMedDo system, and eat processed foods including nitrate containing bacon it can be disasterous for your heart and artery health.

    HEAT THERAPY

    Once you dissolve the calcium fluoride core of your arterial blockage, the fats surrounding it can naturally dissolve, but if you want to speed them up you can use heat therapy such as sauna or hot tub. The only caveat is if you do sauna be sure to hydrate with fluoride free and chlorine free water (not tap water), and if you use hot tub and if it contains chlorine, you will need to use 1 extra drop of NeuIodine afterwards to detox the chlorine afterwards. My favorite hot tubs are the ones that use silver filtration instead of chlorine, but I’m not afraid of chlorinated pools or hot tubs because I use NeuIodine. Just use 1 additional drop of NeuIodine on top of you daily dose (2 men, 4 women) for each time you take a chlorine shower, hot tub or swim. When fats get heated up they flow better and by using heat therapy you can help your arteries dissolve the fats faster. Also with the sauna some calcium fluoride crystal can be detoxed out of the sweat, though the primary way it will come out is in the urine.

    CHOLESTEROL

    Unlike the propaganda from the American Heart Association which tells everyone that high cholesterol is bad, it’s the opposite, high cholesterol is good. Eat eggs. Don’t worry about cholesterol just get it from natural sources, and do not under any circumstance take toxic lipitor anti-cholesterol drug as it will fry your brain. If you have already taken it get off and detox with iMedDo and your brain can heal. Mainstream medicine is giving many people dementia with their terrible advice to not eat cholesterol and drug poisoning.

    THE AMAZING EGG

    Did you known that the fats in egg are now known to be able to protect your body from spike proteins? That’s probably why the government keeps killing all the chickens blaming it on bird flue to drive up egg prices (have recently doubled in my area) because people who eat eggs stay healthy. The egg contains every nutrient the human body needs except for only one (vitamin C), so an egg and orange juice diet is completely legitimate. Eggs contain the fats your brain and heart and arteries need so don’t always overcook your eggs, eat them sometimes with yolk still runny.

    AMAZING MILK

    Milky contains all the nutrients a baby human needs and is assumed to contain most of it not all the nutrients an adult human needs as well. For many people high milk fat products like ice cream, cheese and whole milk are the only ways their bodies know to get iodine nutrient. If you have a constant milk craving it’s a sure sign of iodine deficiency. I notoriously craved milk all the way past college until I started doing iodine supplementation so I known this from personal experience. Also the classic pregnant woman craving ice cream is also a the body’s plea for more iodine. If you arteries are blocked, most people are afraid to eat high fat items like ice cream because the calcium fluoride core is surrounded by fats. Solution is just take iMedDo Detox and you can supplement iodine, while you lay off the fats for a bit until you get the arterial blockages cleared.

    BROMIDE HALOGEN

    Another toxic halogen besides fluoride which is ubiquitous these days is bromine like bromide. It’s found in brominated flour and brominated flame retardant paper products for sure that I known of. Bromide requires iodine to detox and can be detoxed by iMedDo system no problem. Calcium bromide unlike calcium fluoride is water soluble so it doesn’t get stuck in the arteries, but it can disrupt the endocrine system and cause cancer so get it out! Famous iodine scientist Dr Brownstein did a great job in his book exposing how prevalent bromine poisoning is among americans, and I saw my own dear father who recently passed away definitely had bromine poisoning as I saw one of his heart medications contained bromine poison. It’s criminal to give people with weak hearts & blocke arteries bromine but mainstream medicine does it all the time. As a real doctor I have a responsibility to hold other doctors accountable but I have not been able to do so at this time, so just focus on your own health first, and moving forward healthy together we will eventually hold the poisoners accountable for their crimes, right now just survive.

    IMEDDO SURVIVAL SYSTEM

    The iMedDo Detox system is an advanced panacea medicine from heaven gift of the goddess which counteracts all poisons that the bioweapon poisoners can throw at you. I’m trained in advanced counter bio-nuclear terrorism and it doesn’t matter if it’s a radiological, bacterial, fungal, or viral attack, iMedDo’s got your back. As the vaccine war rages on and big pharma things they have all the gold, they will find out that their gold will turn to lead as debt money will evaporate into nothing once people start using real gold as money once again. Silver and gold elements as money are more real than fiat, but silver and gold as medicine are even closer to real gold, but the actual real gold come from self love and loving thy neighbor as thyself and the golden rule will be re-established on this planet starting with your own heart. So unclog your heart with iMedDo, and I promise we will emerge victorious.

    TRUE VICTORY

    I have seen first hand that Death is not the end and what lies at the end of your spiritual journey which you will unlock after you detox and meditate and act according to the golden rule is that life eternal can be yours. The golden rule is real and the hippocratic oath of the physician is a subset. Having violated the golden rule our society has chosen the lead rule and flagged our civilization for destruction.

    THE GOLDEN EAGLE

    The golden eagle is the person with sufficient wisdom to re-establish civilization after a collapse. Everyone can sense the impending collapse, so join me in achieving wisdom and acquiring the skills needed after the conclusion of the vaccine war. Everyone using iMedDo Detox will not only survive but also thrive.

    UNCLOG YOUR HEART WITH IMEDDO

    NeuIodine in iMedDo detox system which contains molecular & nascent iodine can detox both fluorine and fluoride, bromine and bromide and chlorine with no problem. Potential problems of fluoride detox like headache and tissue damage on its way out are negated by using iodine in a system with colloidal gold & colloidal silver. NeuIodine which is nascent iodine (energized molecular iodine in equilibrium with nascent iodine) is already in an energized state that can readily detox fluoride as well as fluorine, bromine & bromide. There is no iodide in NeuIodine, as it is un-needed as each molecule of energized molecular iodine in NeuIodine can readily become two molecules of nascent iodine which can readily reduce to 2 molecules of iodide in the body as needed for detox. Iodide replaces fluoride on a 1:1 basis. Iodine connoisseurs do not want iodide in their iodine supplement as is not needed when using much more effective nascent iodine. Nascent iodine is the “psychic” iodine that will also readily remove calcium fluoride from the blood at the blood brain-barrier of the pineal opening the third eye is what is most famous for. So because of the pineal detox fame, it’s ability to unclog the blood in general gets overlooked but not anymore! I’m tell you that iMedDo Detox system will not just open your third eye, it will also UNCLOG calcium fluoride from the blood in general INCLUDING breaking down fat & cholesterol covered plaques with calcium fluoride core deposits on the sides of arteries which will RESTORE blood flow, RESTORE oxygen flow and RESTORE energy, and DECREASE risk of heart attack, DECREASE risk of stroke and which will STRENGTHEN the heart when using all three iodine, gold and silver in combination.

    Namaste,

  • FATHER’S BLESSING

    ByHealthWarrior

    Greetings iMedDo newsletter subscribers. For Christmas I was feeling a bit Grinchy and turns out I was right to be as my dear old dad passed away over the holidays. He was a relatively young man only 67 so was really sad. After I was informed of his death my heart was breaking and as I stared at the Orion constellation I saw a sign, a hidden red dragon, and I got a picture of it using my cell phone Night Sky app in much higher resolution than can be seen with the human eye:

    It had been been a few days after his death but it felt like I saw his soul go up to heaven and become one with the red dragon, like it was reloading into a cosmic womb, and then I felt something come down into my heart from the red dragon. My cat was jumping up and down on my chest as it happened like my cat was either trying to hold my heart together from breaking, was trying to participate in or assist me in receiving whatever was coming down from heaven. I choose to interpret it as my father was giving me his blessing. I think I was looking at the snake of wisdom the S which makes the difference between cure vs. curSe. So I think the curse of my father withholding his blessing was broken or maybe the cure of receiving his blessing was occurring. I really don’t know but I definitely felt something. I recognized that the “red dragon” I was seeing and experiencing was the same as the blood of medusa, the blood of Christ, the same as the red dragon depicted on the shield of king Arthur, and the same as the flaming serpent of the Holy Spirit said to have descended upon the disciples after the death of Jesus in the Bible. I immediately recognized the secret red dragon behind the Orion Constellation that I had never known was there before as being the same as the symbol of the fire of the Holy Spirit on Methodist Christian and Anglican church logos. I received a wealth of information concerning the Orion constellation from secret mystery religions including Christianity which I will treasure in my heart. The Orion constellation is a symbol of man and a symbol of death and of war but it also contains the secret to peace and eternal life. Namaste, DrBenGo Healthwarrior

    Methodist church logo red flame of Holy Spirit, compare to red dragon behind Orion constellation.

    The message that was clear is that death is not the end. Life, death, and then life again.

  • SANTA’S ARMOR

    ByHealthWarrior

    by DrBenGo Healthwarrior iMedDo.club/news December 2022.

    Greeting iMedDo Subscriber’s! Merry Christmas! Since It’s December I did a meditation looking back at Santa Claus through the history and then wished I hadn’t. Christmas is for looking forwards not backwards. What I found out about Santa turned me into a Grinch, so I wrote this song for you hope you don’t flinch!

    GRINCH’S ODE TO SANTA

    Twas the night before Christmas in the lair of the Grinch.  

    The grinch was not stirring not even an inch.  

    12 days of Christmas celebrations coming noisy and loud   

    the Grinch would not have them, the Grinch was too proud.  

    Awakened at last & peering out with red eye, 

    the Grinch saw no Santa & heaved a happy sigh.  

    My lair has no chimney, that should keep Santa out!

    The Grinch had been naughty & often did pout.   

    Keep your coal you foul demon you two thousand year old taint! 

    We all know Saint Nicholas was more sinner than saint.   

     You’re a fake Santa! Your jollyness is a jest!

    Why do they like you? I do protest.  

    Your St Basil at best, Odin at worst

    Children sing your praise 

    when you should be cursed.

    Your don’t pay your elves, how do you keep them from fight? 

    You sneak into homes in middle of night.   

    You were thin to go down chimneys but have grown fat. 

    How do the children wrap their heads around that?

    One day they’ll miss me & clamor to bring me back.  

    For I was the great Krampus & kidnapped kids in my sack.  

    The naughty did fear me, now they don’t think I’m real.  

    But I know the truth, my gig you did steal! 

    How you stay popular is truly a feat.  

    I know your dark secret, I’ve met sooty Pete.  

    You replaced Krampus with a Moor to pass candy out 

    I’ll make you regret it you bearded racist devout.   

    You think you’re too cool to wear my green suit & switched it red.  Dropped your sailor man pipe image to bed.

    Kris Kringle’s a baby what did you do with him?  

    you Christ-mas cannibal probably washed him down with gin.  

    I see you foul giant and where is your horse? A red nosed reindeer guiding your sleigh with remorse.

    I simply don’t trust you, I’ve heard Mrs Claus gossip far & wide 

    of how you treated Artemis, your former bride.  

    You wear  protective belt, for your bad karma is lore.

    Santa you dress like a red dragon of yore.  

    Santa your name is Satan but you mock me again.  

    For instead of bringing evil you bring presents & redemption from sin.  

    instead of letting the bad freeze, you bring them coal.  

    That they might share Christmas warmth & lighten their souls.  

    Instead of a bag of toys, I’d give them all fire! 

    Ocs would pull my sleigh not reindeer or horse is my desire.   

    One day I’ll stop you Santa, but it won’t be tonight. 

    For it’s Christmas Eve now, & I cower in fright.   

    Keep your Christmas Spirit away from me please. 

    I don’t want your coal, just let my heart freeze.   

    I know I’ve been bad, the opposite of nice.  

    I’m the Grinch I can’t help it, I bring terror & fright.  

    But maybe if you can change so can I?

    Maybe instead of being evil being nice should I try?   

    From Artemis to Odin with elves & dwarves you did fly.  

    I remember your armor & 8 legged horse named Sleep Near.   

    Oh how I miss it when you it when you filled them with fear.   

    With Aegis Helm on your brow did you attack, 

    invincible & awe-full I want my helm of terror back!    

    Instead of being scary but with a wink of your eye, 

    they’re all tricked into liking you as down their chimneys you fly.   

    I see your Viking Magic, I’m wise to your tricks.   

    With your rune covered sleigh never lost in fog so thick. 

    You’ve ruined Yule you jolly madman with cookies & milk.   

    Bringing present of iodine, silver, gold into stockings of silk! 

    I don’t want your dowry for daughter to wed.  

    Don’t bring me gold in my stocking I’d rather sell her instead.  

    Don’t need your permission you All Father plump pimp! 

    For my name is Loki even though you think me a wimp 

    but I’ll turn into a horse myself & ‘nightmare’ will fly 

    instead of your joyful sleigh ride its time that they die! 

    But alas I cannot hurt them nor can I hurt you.  

    As much as I wish it, my magic is through. 

    For no spell can match the Christmas magic so strong 

    there is nothing like it ever written in legend or song. 

    As long as families do gather, hug & hold fast 

    Bringing joy & staying merry, my magic they  outlast. 

    As long as they decorate the living Christmas tree.

    the light of the Holy Spirit keeps out ones such as me.

    MERRY CHRISTMAS

    The point of Christmas is to be merry. If you are not merry for Christmas you get depressed and it’s easy to get depressed when it’s rainy and very little sunshine outside. If you are feeling seasonal depression, I highly recommend you try NeuGold colloidal gold, 3 drops under your tongue it’s like liquid sunshine and will really help you feel better. As I started meditating on the history of Santa Claus I got more and more depressed as I found out more and more that history that has only improved over time which means the farther back in time you look it’s a steady downward gaze. After learning a lot about Santa, I realized I really couldn’t talk about it without smearing Santa which is not my intention as Santa and Christmas are awesome and I don’t want to in any way mess them up, so I decided the best way to talk about Santa’s sordid past is to use the Grinch to gripe about Santa with Merry message at the end to remind readers that Santa and Christmas are awesome even if we don’t always feel the Christmas Spirit at first, it’s real and the alternative to Christmas Spirit is not worth contemplating, and I hope the Grinch convinced you that it’s better to have Santa than him =). I found the Grinch griping about Santa to be very jolly and amusing as the image of the unhappy Grinch in his lair being jealous of Santa makes me laugh,and I hope it did for you as well. If you are feeling depressed this Christmas lighten up just because you can’t see the sun or the stars through the fog doesn’t mean they are not there, you can rely on your inner lights to guide you. Christmas is an excellent time for meditation and internal reflection. I made amazing advancement in my spiritual journey which overlapped on many topics and themes I’ve talked about in the past so if you have not done so already I highly recommend you read some of the older newsletters.

    STARS OF THE MORNING LIGHT

    I’m very excited to announce that I’ll be doing video discussions of the newsletter from now on with Stars of the Morning Light”s Courtney McMahon to help present information in video format to go with my written word. If you missed it be sure to check out her interview of me on last month’s article on selenium and iodine energy:

    And if you missed it her inteview of me on the month before last’s article on Lead Detox. Interview discussing this episode will be out sometime in January so really looking forward to that.

    AND NOW FOR SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT: SANTA MEDITATION

    This month’s episode is a little different as usually I talk about nutrition and last month was heavy in biochemistry. I started this month’s meditation still thinking about iodine nutrition and made a fascinating connection between iodine and Father Christmas, and Santa’s magical armor. Santa is related to the Orion constellation which is the simplest way I can explain a very complicated topic which is multi-faith religious in nature encompassing not just Christianity as you would think but also Norse mythology, Greek mythology and revealed to me some secrets of an ancient Greco-Buddhist Hero worship religion, it was a wild spiritual sleigh ride I took when meditating on Santa!. Because of the complex an controversial nature of the topics my meditation on Santa took me (most of which are not politically correct in today’s climate), I’m going to skip talking about them, and just comment that you should not look back on Santa but instead look forward to Santa, and instead of thinking about Santa in a historical context, you will make more progress in your own spiritual journey in my opinion if you look at Santa in a peotic and heroic legendary context, and the Grinch’s Ode to Santa poem which I put at the start of this article was actually the end and culmination of my meditation.

    WHO IS SANTA?

    Santa comes from word which means Saint or Sacred. The funny thing is that Santa also comes from the same word as Satan which is from in my opinion Santana dharma Hinduism (Sacred Hinduism, as later villified by the Greek religion when they split). The word Santa went on to be the word for the most sacred like the Santa Maria (Saint Mary) as well as was vilified as the bad guy (Satan) in Bible book of revelations where Satan is also identified as a red dragon. Historically the red dragons were the Danish Anglo-Saxxon invaders of England which is relevant to British & American history since we speak English. Functionally Santa is very similar to the Germanic/Norse/Anglo-Saxxon/Danish/Scandinavian/Pan-European & Icelandic All-father God Odin which is something that if you have not studied Santa or have only listed to the “church” view of Santa may be something you might not be aware of but this is a very important point about Santa which was a fertile ground for my meditation.

    LINK: https://sonsofvikings.com/blogs/history/viking-origins-of-christmas-yule-traditions

    Some key similarities that indicate that Santa was more than partially inspired by Odin is that Odin is shown flying on an 8 legged horse (compare to Santa and 8 reindeer), Odin is also a gift giver (but he gives armor and weapons instead of dowry money), Odin also has a sleigh (a rune covered sleigh), and Odin is also associated with elves (and dwarves too!), Odin is the Allfather, and Sants is Father Christmas: the similarities are too much not to take notice of. In spite of all these similarities, the view that Santa is Odin is not mainstream as instead Santa is most identified instead as being a 4th century Greco-Turkish bishop by the name of Saint Nicholas which is another important avenue to research when looking into what went into the Santa Claus legend. But if you look at the Greek people they talk about St. Basil being the one who they remember fondly bringing presents to the children and it looks to me that St. Nicholas in that function is more of a western (Roman) invention. But if you do believe Santa is St. Nicholas, then if you look at what did St. Nick actually bring presents of and you will find was dowry money which is an interesting topic in and of itself but which I decided to cut as is also a red herring. I found more fruitful meditation thinking about the connection of Santa and Odin and Loki (portrayed in the poem as the Grinch) than I did thinking about Santa’s dowry money. Originally I was going to call this episode Santa’s dowry, but instead I changed it to Santa’s armor, as it’s the Santa Odin connection that I found more interesting, and in that paradigm Santa is the bringer of magical armor not dowry money for Christmas. The armor of Christ or the Helm of Awe the Aegisjalmur sounded to me like pretty awesome Chrsitmas gift. Turns out it’s a gift I’ve already given and if you wish to receive it, be sure to read the January 2021 episode Cataphractic Diamond Body Meditation where I rediscover a long lost connection between Christ, Buddhism and use of pineal for cavalry charge via helmet or lance or arrow or shield etc depending on how you do the meditation has many variations.

    IODINE AEGISJALMUR

    As I was meditating and Santa and thus Odin, I couldn’t help several interesting phonetic connections between my favorite element iodine which is phonetically “Eye Odin”, and phonetic connection to the helmet in Icelandic/Norse/Germanic/Odinic legend called the Aegishjalmur (pronounced “Eye”-jishalmer) which is said to be a physical helmet with a cool looking symbol by the same name that is also said to be to protect and connect to your pineal and to make you invicible in battle, but really when you look into it what it does it to make everyone around you like you. This is connected with a lot of interesting but also rather dark topics related to Scandinavian witches (volves) and germanic paganism with Odin as a practioner of Seidr (female witchcraft & being able to read the female runes) which is related to even more taboo topics like sacred prostitution, Mary Magdalene & Jesus stuff I’m itching to get into but is just too much for this episode.

    Another interesting Icelandic/Norse rune, magical stave, is called the Vegvisir the wayfinder which is used to not get lost, and once you realize the connection between Santa and Odin is clear Santa is using Viking magic to not get lost in the Milky Way fog (now a function attributed to Rudolph the red nosed reigndeer who I identify as Betelgeuse star in Orion constellation alpha-Orion). I also as part of my meditation had to look deeply to see if iodine actually was named after Odin or not, and the official story is no (named after greek word iodeas for color purple), but because English is a Germanic PIE language with many words actually named after Odine (wooden, wise [from witan i.e. wotan/Odin] and more), the word iodine just fits right in to English very nicely and subconscously makes me me think about Odin whether it was actually named that way on purpose or not. Because of the phonetic stability of language unlike its written form, many words that are not acknowledged to be etymologically related actually are, and I think the Greek word Aegis for shild and the Norse word Aegishjalmer and the word Eye are all related Eye-gis (Possibly from Eye of Isis) and Aegis for Shield (Shield-Helm for Aegishjalmur) and Eye of the Third Eye-Pineal, and even Iodine as “Eye Odin” are all very connected whether etymologists want to believe it or not. Remember back in the old days before Iodine was discovered as an element, it was being gotten in the diet in milk, so many much older legends are related to wisdom and milk and snakes an milk. The connection for leaving milk for Santa (milky & cookies) is now we can consider related to iodine, and of the connection of our pineal to the Milky Way our galaxy (pineal is like antenae to God) is via iodine. Iodine is the nutrient your body needs for your pineal to work, but also has many other uses in the body for detox, for energy and more. The Aegishjalmur as I started meditating on it is such a complex think that is too much for this episode but I want to introduce it her for you to start your own meditation on. In order for me to really explain the importance of the Aegis Helm (Helm of Awe, Helm of Terror) you need to know not just Norse and German mythology, but also Greek mythology, and I connect it to Buddhist Dharmachakra chariot wheel is just an overwhelming meditation and all I want to do her is to give you the missing puzzle piece that I discovred that if you meditate on it with a detoxed pineal from using iMedDo System, you will make amazing progress in your spiritual journey as I have.

    ORION CONSTELLATION

    The Orion constellation is what connects St. Nicholas, Odin, and a multitude of other hero’s and villains spanning back from Egyptian Heru to Greek Hercules, to Orion the Hunter to Artemis the Hunter, to St. Nicholas the hunter of heretics, Odin & his Great Hunt on Yule is the Orion constellation. Imagined many different ways in the past, the Santa Claus imagining is really a good one and the star Betelgeuse (alpha-Orion) is the Red Nose of Rudolph.

    HEROIC SANTA

    Looking up at the Orion constellaton and either imagining a hero or a villain is something tha spans back to pre-history and was popularized at least with the ancient Greeks. If you want to learn Greek mythology check out the Bibliotheca the library of ancient myths passed down via Greeks to us is a real resource of ancient “hero” stories. The Orion constellation imagined form prospective of Roman Church as the “hero” Saint Nicholas who fought off the Arian Christian heresies and who defended the trinity and who brought dowry money to princesses so that they could avoid a life of prostitution is the heroic Santa story being referenced by Santa Claus as Dutch Sinterclaus. Odin is both older and younger hero reference than St. Nicholas and functionally thery are both hero references to the Orion constellation. A giveaway is St. Nich is savcred to sailors, beccuase was older Greek Jason and the Argonauts.

    And make no mistake about it Santa is a legend, a heroic legend. Santa is a hero, but how you view him can be vastly different depending on your culture and perspective. In fact Santa was not a hero to all, to some in his distant past he was a villain and I tried to encapsulate the changing view of Santa from bad boy to child protective hero in the Grinch poem hope I succeeded. In it I tried to put in some of the things that I found most shocking about the Santa transformation over time. So who Santa is really depends on your culture and country as varies all across the world, but here in America the Santa most people see in their minds when they think about it is the Coca-Cola Santa, but when we think about the characteristics of Santa we think of the Night Before Christmas poem by Clement Moore.

    LINK: https://www.teachervision.com/christmas/twas-the-night-before-christmas-full-text-of-the-classic-poem

    This is the version of Santa I had as a child and is still the best version of Santa. If you have not read this poem, it’s really worth your time is short but catch and you will notice that my Grinch poem was modeled after its rhyming style though the Grinch is inspired by Seuss’s poem how the Grinch Stole Christmas. I put a Viking spin on it identifying the Grinch as Loki and being jealous of Santa as Odin. Odin is the god of poetry and knowledge among other things so writing poetry about Santa seems fitting hope you enjoyed. If anyone has any suggestions how to make the poem even better please let me know.

    MERRY CHRISTMAS!

  • SACRED SELENIUM

    ByHealthWarrior

    by DrBenGo Healthwarrior

    iMedDo.club/news November, 2022

    Greetings iMedDo newsletter subscribers and Happy Thanksgiving! This month I’m talking about the nutrient Selenium which is named after Selene the Moon Goddess. My interest in Selenium is primarily related to mercury detox as well as thyroid function, and in particular, I want to elucidate how Selenium supplementation is synergistic with iMedDo System in particular with nascent iodine: NeuIodine. In this episode I discuss the two thyroid selenoproteins, and discuss how thyroid physiology of glutathione peroxidase (GPO) elucidates why nascent iodine is better than iodide supplementation. Selenium is most known for its anti-oxidant properties, anti-cancer and anti-viral properties and being a critical trace nutrient for all life, but selenium has a darker side that it can kill you if get too much, but you can’t live without it! Just like the moon, beautiful but scary, there is no doubt that selenium is just as impressive, and just like the moon, the more you known about it, the more you become even more impressed as you find it hides a much deeper secret concerning alternative energy processing in the mitochondria. Selenium is a mandala mirror whose study reflects light into our own life’s energy and leads to deeper understanding of how iodine and oxygen and even silver are used in the body to protect life during metabolism and stress. An important finding of this work looking at thyroid physiology is that increased selenium is recommended if you are using iodide form of iodine to counteract oxidative stress (I recommend nascent iodine not iodide), and increased selenium is recommended to protect against mercury toxicity, so selenium nutrition is synergistic with iMedDo System which uses iodine and silver for mercury detox. Selenium and silver work together in the mitochondria where silver kills organisms using older energy pathways like cancer and bacteria, and selenium and iodine protects mitochondria in healthy cells.

    SELENIUM THE BIG PICTURE

    Once again I’ve written a rather dense article, and I don’t want you my dear readers to miss the big picture which is simply that I recommend that in addition to taking your iMedDo Detox System containing nascent iodine, colloidal silver and gold, that you also take a multivitamin and the one that I recommend is the one designed by DrCalinPop who is a silver & gold expert. In his multivitamin it does contain selenium in both organic and inorganic forms both of which are important to get. iMedDo System makes your other vitamins and nutrients work better, and for the first time I have confirmed that conversely if you take selenium it will make both NeuIodine and NeuSilver work even better as selenium is used in thyroid hormone signaling and in mitochondrial protection. But even if you are getting enough selenium it won’t work unless you take iodine, and in this article I will explain why taking iMedDo System with nascent iodine is better than Lugol’s or other iodine with iodide form which has to do with thyroid physiology related to selenium.

    SILVER VS SELENIUM

    In alchemy it is silver that is associated with the moon, so this new element selenium being named after the moon has a lot to live up if it is to rival silver for “moon healing” properties! Silver is anti-cancer and anti-viral and anti-inflammatory. Selenium is anti-cancer and anti-viral and an anti-oxidant. Silver has all kinds of additional healing properties like being anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, and doing some cool stuff with gold protecting DNA. Selenium also has all kinds of additional healing properties mostly related to oxygen and sulfur chemistry, protects proteins from oxidation, and seems to have some overlap with silver and gold for DNA protection possibly through copper and iron pathways. So yeah, selenium seems as magical and sacred to me as silver, but big difference whereas you can’t hurt yourself talking high does of silver (at least not with food grade nano-colloidal coated silver NeuSilver; you can hurt yourself, even kill yourself, if you were to take too high doses of selenium! So silver seems safer, but selenium is just exceedingly impressive in that it seems to have the scope of healing as large as silver but it its own complementary way. Also note that selenium is not even a metal, so comparing it to silver metal seems a bit unfair as selenium is more appropriately compared to sulfur. But since sulfur can bind to silver, selenium can also bind to silver, and so the interaction and synergy between selenium and silver pathways are not necessarily that surprising or unexpected. Since I have the best silver & gold detox system, am very excited to present my findings on how selenium is synergistic with silver and gold which is my ongoing research interest to elucidate.

    SELENIUM VS IODINE

    Iodine is known to affect metabolism, like completely control metabolism, having a positive effect on mitochondria and energy production. Selenium is known to have a positive effect on mitochondria and energy production related somehow to accumulating in and protecting mitochondrial membrane. Selenium is used in proteins which keep hydrogen peroxide from causing oxidative damage to proteins and is used in the thyroid as an integral part of processing iodide form of iodine. Also selenium is also used in thyroid proteins to activate thyroid hormones directly interacting with iodine. Iodine is critical to the brain, and selenium also is critical for the brain via regulating anti-oxidant molecules that send signals to the brain, as well as by keeping the brain’s processing of oxygen from creating damage via oxidized proteins. So yeah, selenium is as magical and sacred to me as iodine nutrient and is definitely synergistic with iodine as selenium can directly interact with iodine in thyroid and we need to talk about that! Since I have the best iodine health supplement system, I’m extremely excited to present my finding regarding how selenium works synergistically with iMedDo:

    IMPORTANT FINDINGS ABOUT SELENIUM & IODINE:

    SELENIUM & IODIDE

    The use of iodide instead of nascent iodine creates more hydrogen peroxide in thyroid and thus is more critical that you get selenium if you are using Lugol’s or other iodide containing iodine instead of nascent iodine like NeuIodine. NeuIodine does not contain any iodide, as energized fat soluble molecular iodine I2 is used instead which is in equilibrium with nascent iodine which requires less energy and creates less oxidative damage in the thyroid to use, and that is most likely the reason why people prefer nascent iodine to older forms of iodine like Lugol’s which contain iodide.

    The enzyme in the thyroid that converts iodide to nascent iodine intermediate for organification into thyroid hormones is called thyroid peroxidase (TPO), and like the name sounds it creates peroxides (H202, hyrdogen peroxide) in the process. Selenium in the enzyme known as glutathione peroxidase (GPO) is able to get rid of the excess hydrogen peroxide by turning it into water before it can oxidize/damage surrounding proteins. The way selenium is used in GPO is very similar to how selenium is used in other seleno-proteins and revolved around sulphur chemistry where a protective molecule called glutathione with double bonded sulphur G-S-S-G (oxidized form) is converted to two molecules of reduced glutathione form GSH, GSH. Selenium proteins uses selenium instead of sulphur at an active site where selenium replaces sulphur in a cysteine amino acid using a selenocysteine instead.

    I know what I described sounds pretty complicated and it is. The main thing I want you to kn here is that selenium is used for sulfur chemistry and the sulphur chemistry is used for anti-oxidant chemistry to protect the thyroid from oxidative damage from the processing of iodide. That’s why selenium is thought of as an anti-oxidant which is technically incorrect but correct enough since selenium itself is not anti-oxidant, but selenium in GPO protein in complex system with glutathione oxidation and reduction using sulphur chemistry is an antioxidant in the sense that it controls hydrogen peroxide before it can cause oxidative damage since hydrogen peroxide can break down to form oxygen free radicals. Clear as mud?

    The body needs iodine and will get it any way it can. Iodide is the unenergized/reduced form of iodine which has to be oxidized, have an electron removed from it to form nascent iodine so that it can be used to make thyroid hormones.

    It’s not easy to oxidize iodine, so to oxidize iodide it requires well oxygen! Oxygen and Iodine are all very electronegative, and something even more electronegative than iodine is needed, and things like that are generally highly toxic like fluorine or cyanide! Oxygen is more electronegative than iodine. Selenium is not, and electronegativity decreased going down chalcogens so even though oxygen is same family as sulfur and selenium they are very different, where oxygen is its own beast but sulfur and selenium are similar.

    So when you give you body iodide or when your body doesn’t have a fresh source of nascent iodine and has to recycle under-energized iodine (iodide form), then it still has to work hard to oxidize the iodide first before it can use it.

    This result in creation of hydrogen peroxide which can potentially cause oxidative damage to surrounding proteins, and that is why the body has a system of using selenoprotein (GPO) to handle the oxygen problem.

    SELENIUM & NASCENT IODINE

    Now that we known how selenium works in the first part of thyroid hormone production from iodide, it starts to become more clear why supplementing nascent iodine is better than supplementing iodide form of iodide.

    The reason is because the thyroid can use nascent iodine to create organified iodine in the thyroid hormones bypassing the energy intensive and hydrogen peroxide generating step of having to convert iodide into nascent iodine first.

    Also, by supplementing nascent iodine as energized molecular iodine (which is in equilibrium with nascent iodine) which is fat soluble, it bypasses other hard work the body has to do to process iodine into protective and anti-cancer iodo-lipids as the thyroid doesn’t have to work so hard to convert iodide water soluble form into a fat soluble form.

    SELENIUM AND THYROID HORMONE ACTIVATION

    The thyroid converts iodine in water soluble form (iodide) into fat soluble iodine containing thyroglobulin molecules called thyroid hormones which are used to deliver energized organified iodine throughout the body via blood. Oxidized/Energized Iodine is like Dune spice of the body is all valuable for some unknown reason related to metabolism. My thinking is that like oxygen, iodine is critical to respiration as an ultimate electron acceptor. It seems to me the body must have evolved to use iodine because of its chemical similarity to oxygen also as some kind of alternative ultimate electron acceptor, and that might explain why oxidized iodine (iodine capable of accepting electrons) is so valuable, and why iodide the reduced form of iodine is not valuable until/unless the body recycles it back to oxidize form(s). Nacent iodine is more oxidized than iodide. Anyway, once either nascent iodine, or iodide converted to nascent iodine is incorporated into thyroid hormones (T4 &T3), there is one thyroid hormone (T3) which is more biologically active than the other.

    Okay I know that was a lot but stay with me. Here is where selenium comes in again.

    There is a SECOND selenium containing protein in the thyroid known as thyroid de-iodinase that removes iodine! Why they heck would we want to remove iodine, the thyroid is supposed to be making iodine in packaged form to ship out to the body!

    It appears in the making of thyroid hormones cyclical proteins are used which put iodine all over a tyrosine amino acid in different positions, and the extra iodines have to be later removed to make most activate the thyroid hormone. The thyroid hormone made with three iodines on it (T3) is more biologically active than the one with four iodines on it (T4). So, the body needs a way to REMOVE one iodine and the way it does it is with a selenium protein called thyroxine de-iodinase (DI). DI is the most terrible abbreviation as it sounds like DIE which is a terrible name for what is going on here as it should be called LIVE instead! Because what is going on is that thyroid hormones are being activated, metabolism increases, life increases is the opposite of dying! It’s living! Yes it seems backwards because removing an iodine to activate rest of the tri-iodine containing thyroid hormone but that’s just the way it works. For more information about thyroid physiology with some additional complexity going on here than I’m telling you about check out this 2022 review paper: Physiology, Thyroid Hormone.

    SUMMARY:

    There are two selenium containing enzymes used in the thyroid in the processing of iodine:

    1. Glutathione Peroxidase (GPO)
    2. Thyroxine de-iodinase (DI), my abbreviation (LIVE)

    The first (GPO) is used to process iodide form of iodine, and the second (DI/”LIVE”) is used to interact with organified iodine directly by removal ultimately turning T4 into more active T3 form.

    Selenium is useful for both keeping hydrogen peroxide in check and is also useful in protein which directly interacts with iodine so selenium is pretty darn important!

    I postulate that using nascent iodine instead of iodide helps people who are both iodine & selenium deficient because it doesn’t stress the GPO pathway like using iodide does. By not using iodide and getting iodine in nascent form instead you have less potential for oxidative damage in thyroid and if you are selenium deficient, the selenium available can be preferentially used for LIVE pathway instead of GPO pathway.

    IODINE VS SELENIUM DEFICIENCY

    Most people are not selenium deficient, but most people are iodine deficient. So my old approach was just to give people nascent iodine and not worry about selenium levels. My thinking is that even if you are low on selenium that by getting nascent iodine will take the stress off GPO pathway in thyroid so what selenium you have can go towards activating thyroid hormones LIVE pathway.

    Looking at the science, it looks like you CAN GIVE IODINE without selenium no problem (what I do) but you SHOULD NOT give selenium without iodine UNLESS you are doing so under guidance. So either do iodine or do iodine + selenium but don’t do selenium without iodine unless you are doing so under guidance of a skilled healthcare practitioner who is monitoring your selenium levels to make sure not get too high.

    SELENIUM IN NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE

    I talked to Dr Amanda Prado ND and Dr Becky Cootes-Kimbley ND, skilled naturopathic doctors who already use iMedDo in their practice. I was impressed to learn that in naturopathic medicine they have a protocol for using selenium with vitamin C and E to pre-game iodine detox. This was a bit shocking to me at first because my position is to only use selenium if you are already using iodine so I wanted to investigate a bit further so I can comment on this as is no doubt a question that many naturopathic doctors have, and special thanks to Dr Becky for asking me to comment more on this.

    The issue is that with older forms of iodine like Lugol’s it was well known that detox reactions could be a problem (headaches, nausea, acne etc), so the idea of doing something to pre-game the detox so there are less toxins to flush out and thus less detox reactions makes complete sense to me, and the fact that naturopaths developed a great protocol using selenium before using iodine is very interesting.

    The difference now is that by using Nascent Iodine instead of Lugol’s and by using the nascent iodine in system with colloidal silver and gold that the detox reactions can be minimized already so there is less of a need for a pre-game detox.

    So the question is do naturopathic doctors using NeuIodine need to change or re-evaluate their selenium protocol when using iMedDo? I don’t think so, there is no problem using selenium or vitamin C or vitamin E before, during or after using NeuIodine.

    I think naturopaths and other skilled medical professionals as well in other fields of alternative medicine will all notice that detox reactions are MUCH reduced when using iMedDo System so their older anti-detox anti-herx reaction protocols which are still great are less needed but by still doing them on top of using iMedDo will just be even better.

    So I stand by my general position that you need to give iodine for detox not selenium but if you do give selenium you need to also give iodine, but I’ve updated my position to acknowledge that some fields of medicine (naturopaths) have protocols using selenium before iodine, but it’s okay (but only because is being done under skilled guidance).

    And my position is that when you do iodine you need to do nascent iodine! (And whenever you do nascent iodine the best way to do that is in a system with silver and gold!).

    It’s okay to get iodide but if you do your body has to work harder, and needs more selenium to do it!!!

    So if you are supplementing iodide you need to also supplement selenium!

    If you are supplementing nascent iodine it is less critical that you supplement selenium.

    BUT YOU STILL NEED SELENIUM EITHER WAY

    Because even if you don’t need it for GPO pathway in thyroid you still need it for LIVE pathway in thyroid!

    DR BENGO’S OFFICIAL IMEDDO POSITION ON SELENIUM SUPPLEMENTATION

    Yes, I support selenium supplementation as part of your regular diet and MULTIVITAMIN regime. I’ve always advocated that everyone doing iMedDo system should also be talking a multivitamin to go with it. Every multivitamin has some selenium in it. However, I’ve been frustrated for many years because I didn’t have a GREAT multivitamin to recommend to people when they ask but now I do, so I hope you listen to me and do it as upon researching selenium you will find that it is highly synergistic with iMedDo detox system. I endorse and recommend and am a distributor now for and offer as an elite multivitamin to iMedDo Distributors at 25% off, the Power Source One multivitamin designed by DrCalinPopMD the famous internal medicine doctor who also convinced me that nano-colloidal silver and gold are safe for the human body. Turns out he’s spend the last 10+ years designing a multivitamin which if you analyze what’s in it is like talking an advanced course on nutrition as you will find he’s got all the right vitamins in most bioavailable form, so let’s check out what he put in there for selenium:

    Looking at the bottle it says the selenium in there is 50% L-seleno-methionine and 50% sodium selenate 250 mcg 455% in 8 pills. He chose to use both organic and inorganic forms of selenium which are both known to be effective and his dosing is actually quite sophisticated as though he is recommending almost 5x higher dose of selenium than the RDA (455%), it’s easy to customize the dosage, like 4 pills for half dose, 2 pills for quarter dose, 1 pill for 1/8 dose, so if very amenable for dose rationing and many people like to muscle test for the vitamin dose they need. People should try full 8 pills for first few days when using the power source one multivitamins just to get replete in all vitamins and minerals and then can customize dose depending on their diet and needs.

    No, I do not support selenium supplementation over and beyond what you get in diet and multivitamin UNLESS you are doing so under guidance. The reason is that too high selenium (1200+ mcg) starts to become toxic. There is a gray area in the 300-600 mcg range where there seems to be a benefit to selenium supplementation, but you do not want to go there unless you are monitoring yourself closely or being monitored by a skilled healthcare professional. There are some groups of people who are at higher risk of selenium deficiency especially vegetarians or vegans since they don’t eat meat or fish so only source of selenium is plant based as many soils are selenium depleted. If you are vegan I recommend you talk to my vegan naturopathic doctor friend DrAmanda Prado ND who has experience using selenium. DrPrado recently informed me she is planning on writing a book course about her clinical experience using iMedDo system with NeuIodine nascent iodine, and has asked me to write a section to introduce her course which I’m planning to unveil for next episode so stay tuned.

    SELENIUM & MERCURY DETOX

    I wrote about mercury detox month before last from amalgams, primarily talking about using silver and iodine to detox mercury but I did briefly mention selenium in the appendix, but now that we are talking about selenium in more detail, I need to expand on the topic. It turns out that mercury in the form in fish when present without selenium is even more toxic than mercury in amalgam fillings because it is in a methyl-mercury form which requires additional steps to detox. For more information on how methyl mercury form is eliminated see featured science article in mercury detox newsletter. I knew that silver and zinc helped with mercury, but what I didn’t fully realize until this article is that selenium is also important for mercury detox especially from mercury from fish sources. In fact it seems that the fish high in mercury are also generally high even higher in selenium and how selenium protects the fish from all that mercury is generally not considered as we are more focused on avoiding mercury than we are for getting selenium. But turns out selenium is critical for suppressing mercury as selenium is used in selenoproteins that like GPO that can suppress oxidative effect of mercury and in a different seleno-enyzme family called thioredoxin proteins that can repair oxidation of sulfides. I found a really well written article on the topic called Selenium and Mercury Fishing for Answers from which I want to share a quote from becaue it is so good:

    “Less than 30 years ago, scientists discovered the 21st amino acid selenocysteine. This amino acid is unique from the other 20 amino acids in that it contains selenium and it is required as the active component of selenoproteins. Scientists now know that selenium is essential for the normal function of 20-30 very important enzymes involved in numerous biological functions. The process of selenocysteine incorporation into proteins requires a complex system which is also regulated by selenoproteins. Remarkably, selenocysteine is the only amino acid that must be degraded and reformed during each cycle of selenoprotein synthesis. Selenide is released from selenocysteine when it is degraded, making it vulnerable to binding to heavy metals such as mercury because of its high binding affinity for these elements. Once bound to mercury, selenium is no longer available for selenoprotein synthesis. Therefore, if selenium is not replenished, selenoprotein synthesis cannot be maintained, and their related functions will be compromised.”

    Thinking about how selenium cycle interacts with other cycles like circadian rhythm cycle is very interesting but beyond the scope of this episode will save it for later. How mercury blocks selenium via selenide Se2- ion clicks with what I know about sulfur chemistry [compare to Sulfide S2- anion] and puts me very close to understanding something that I’ve been meditating on for many years which is why isn’t silver toxic, you would think it would be since it binds to sulfur and selenium like heavy metals mercury but mercury is toxic and silver is not, and selenium appears to be the key.

    SELENIUM SECRETS POINT ME TO THE MITOCHONDRIA

    Studying selenium in detail for this episode has been very exciting because it has forced me to review and meditate on some rather complicated biochemistry topics such as oxidative stress, cellular respiration, thyroid physiology and more to try to get a clear picture on selenium to present to you, and that clear picture points to the mitochondria which is the source of all human energy. What it really comes down to is that the secrets of how selenium, iodine, oxygen work, and even the secret of how silver works comes down to figuring out how energy is processed in the mitochondria. The mitochondrial membrane is an advanced biochemistry topic and I don’t expect you to understand it since I’m trained in advanced biochemistry, and I don’t fully understand it but I want to make a few comments of what do know. The way energy works in the body is that it converts from electrical from negative electrons to electrical from positively charged protons. So there there is a shift when thinking about energy from chemistry as pushing electrons around to biochemistry which is more about pushing hydrogen H+ around. One ancient way that H+ energy is stored and pushed around is in NADH molecules which are able to donate one H+. Looking at the diagram below you can see that NADH (H+ energy) from the citric acid cycle is used to created a proton gradient of H+ with more H+ in the outer compartment of the mitochondria which is then used to flow back in down its diffusion gradient and then is stored in a different type of energy in ATP as phosphate bond energy. Looking at the mitochondrial electron transport chain simplified as below (it’s really complicated!) what is clear to me is that the mitochondria is being used to AMPLIFY ENERGY. One H+ as energy (in NADH having been created by the citric acid cycle) is turned in 2-3 protons (H+) of energy and oxygen is required for this amplification. There is a lot that can go wrong here because if something like a heavy metal disrupts the membrane then electrons on their way towards oxygen acceptor can get loose (leaky electrons) and damage the membrane which normally results in cell death (apoptosis) but sometimes results in cancer if the cell adapts to being able to make energy without oxygen using a less efficient pathway. One theory is that cancer cells just use NADH (H+ energy) without amplifying it, or that they use an older anaerobic bacterial pathway (mitochondria evolved from enclosed bacteria). Both selenium and iodine and oxygen and silver kill cancer [also gold kills cancer but wasn’t clear to me how gold and selenium interact so not talking about in this episode], and the reason seems to be that selenium and iodine protect the mitochondrial membrane of normal cells but help hasten the destruction of cancer cells possibly by choking them of oxygen so they cannot amplify energy and have to initiate cell death (apoptosis). Iodine can selectively help noncancer cells and kill cancer cells. Oxygen status is an important signal since normal mitochondria with nondamaged membranes can utilize oxygen whereas as damaged mitochondria cannot or do so less efficiently and with more oxidative damage to their membranes. Selenium is used in de-iodinase proteins that activate thyroid hormones which send the signal for more energy resulting in increased mitrochondrial energy amplification and oxygen use. Cells that can’t keep up either have to die or become cancer cells, and in the presence of mitochondrial membrane protecting selenium they are more likely to keep up. I think I read papers indicating it was inorganic selenium doing this which different from later use of selenium with iodine. Somewhere in the mitochondria iodine is being used for an alternative energy pathway pathway possibly as an alternative energy pathway which is used for signaling as to which cells are cancerous and which are not since only the non-cancerous cells can utilize oxygen, in same way only non-cancerous cells can utilize iodine when oxygen is missing.

    SELENIUM FEATURED SCIENCE ARTICLES

    The most interesting thing learned about selenium if I had to pick just one thing is that when eukaryotic cells split from prokaryotic cells to have mitochondria that they also started using iodine around that time. I got this key piece of information from must read article: Selenium, the element of the moon, in life on earth. It’s an excellent review article on selenium which has some great tables comparing selenoproteins in bacteria versus selenoproteins in mammalian cells. Yes, bacteria also used selenium, but a key change from prokaryotic to eukaryotic cells is that now the selenium is involved with iodine as bacteria do not have the de-iodinase DI/LIVE selenoproteins, but we as mammals do.

    Knowing that selenium chemistry is older than iodine chemistry is useful when thinking about thyroid function and how iodine and selenium work on the mitochondria.

    Iodine is known to increase metabolism which increases need for oxygen, i.e. has a positive effect on mitochondria.

    Selenium is also known to have a protective and increase effect on mitochondria.

    DrSircus has an impressive article about iodine, metabolism and oxygen that I found very useful when writing this article trying to figure how to explain to myself that iodine is an alternative energy pathway in the mitochondria. Also note DrSircus appears to me to be a selenium expert, and I noted that he has a book on selenium, and I recommend checking him out for my advanced readers.

    Iodine, Metabolism and Oxygen

    SILVER AND SELENIUM

    Silver you would think would be toxic to mitochondria because they are basically evolved from bacteria and silver kills bacteria BUT silver toxicity to mitochondria is negated by selenium! But neither iodine nor selenium negate silver toxicity to cancerous mitochondria. Silver is 400x more toxic to cancer cells than normal cells [personal communication from DrCalin Pop regarding a suppressed paper about silver and cancer].

    DrPop the designer of the selenium containing Power Source One multi-vitamin really knows his stuff regarding both silver and selenium, and when I asked him about selenium he sent me excepts from a book he is in the process of writing on the topic which is all about selenium anti-cancer uses, but I decided not to include any of the information as he has not published it yet (and may never publish it as is on a suppressed topic). But the take home message was clear. Selenium kills cancer. Silver kills cancer. My research on selenium for this article indicates to me that the overlapping reason has to do with mitochondrial physiology, a topic beyond the scope of this article that I hope to revisit in future newsletters.

    SELENIUM MANDALA

    Turns out selenium really is like the moon in that it is a mandala and like a silly scientist I almost drove myself crazy trying to understand everything about it but the more I learned the more I recognized that there is to learn as it is infinite in scope. Fortunately, I have a lot of experience with mandala’s and the correct thing to do is to stop and admire it for its beauty and the recognize that the beauty you are looking at is a reflection of yourself. The way to use a mandala is as a spirit mirror to send love to yourself.

    When you look at life as a biochemist you start to love not just humans but all life as we are all more similar than different all using DNA from human to insect we are more similar than different. And that’s not a pleasant feeling at first to recognize that in the eyes of God you are not that different from an insect lol, until you realize the eyes are your own eyes as you are the one with consciousness who is doing the looking and you are wise enough to discern that you are different and wise enough to see that you are the same.

    FINAL THOUGHTS

    To understand selenium you must realize that it’s a chalcogen like oxygen and sulphur. As such it can accept electrons and serves as a counterpart to energy production which produces protons. Iodine is known to react similarly as oxygen though it is not a chalcogen because it like oxygen is electronegative and can accept electrons. It seems to me that iodine evolved alongside selenium as sort of alternative energy pathway to oxygen, which is different somehow from either normal oxygen respiration and different from anaerobic respiration. Figuring out how this works at the mitochondria is the key to understanding why both iodine and selenium kill cancer. It’s also the key to understanding why silver kills cancer. Oxygen is known to kill cancer, presumably in my old way of thinking because cancer become anaerobic escaping normal oxygen respiration. But new studies postulate that cancer makes use of a different energy pathway using protons (NADPH) as energy. From my perspective this is just using an older energy pathway going back to bacteria, and that is why silver kills cancer as it disrupts the cancer oxygen metabolism. Iodine is known to selectively help non-cancer derived cells while killing cancer cells. Iodine seems to me to be a fancy alternative to oxygen in an energy pathway and selenium seems to me to be a fancy alternative to sulfur also in an energy pathway. Whereas sulfur and selenium energy pathways have been around since the dawn of life, it appears that usage of selenium to process iodine in a new energy pathway has only been around since eukaryotic life split from prokaryotic life and is somehow necessary to regulate mitochondria and mitochondrial metabolism. Selenium is synergistic with silver and iodine in detoxing mercury. Many cancers are from mercury toxicity and this could explain in part why selenium is anti-cancer. The brain sends signal for more energy to thyroid which sends signal via iodine containing thyroid hormones to make more mitochondria. Selenium also is used to activate thyroid hormones amplifying the signal and selenium on its on also protects and amplifies mitochondria. Selenium in selenoproteins to protect to protect from oxidative damage from the increased oxygen metabolism, and selenium in selenoproteins is used to protect from oxidative damage from iodide usage.

    APPENDIX: NIH FACT SHEET

    For some additional basic mainstream information about selenium can look at the NIH fact sheet. Its got the basic selenium dietary recommendations, and has some good basic info about selenium which is very useful if you can read in between the lines. NIH mentions selenium usage for cancer, thyroid disease, cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline. As you can tell from it selenium is a broad topic, I only talked some about thyroid and cancer in this article and didn’t even scratch the surface on the cardio and brain topics. Since I’m a neuroscientist I will at least comment:

    APPENDIX: SELENIUM NEUROSCIENCE

    The brain uses a lot of oxygen metabolism and definitely relies on selenoproteins (brain glutathione peroxidase GPO) for anti-oxidant protection. I saw a paper that hydrogen peroxide itself is a signaling molecule which adds extra level of complexity of what selenoprotein GPO is actually doing when it is converting hydrogen peroxide to water its also involved in a signaling pathway. We already know the brain communicates with the body for more energy ultimately asking for increased mitochondrial function via way of what is known as the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid axis where brain communicates with TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) to tell the thyroid to create more T4 iodine storage molecule which is predominantly activated into T3 by thyroxine de-iodinase (DI/LiVE) selenoproteins where the brain is using iodine to convey energy and also to control metabolism and be responsive to stress. So endocrinology overlaps with neuroscience when it comes to looking at selenium but they all miss the picture if they don’t study biochemistry of the mitochondria which is where my studies as a neuroscient who is an iodine scientist who is a biochemist and biophysicist has finally led me to for this article. Looking at selenium and how it works with GPO with glutathione I did make an interesting discovery: that glutathione is not just a molecule about molecular stress, it’s actually also a neurotransmitter.

    APPENDIX: GLUTATHIONE NEUROTRANSMITTER

    There are signaling molecules everywhere, and I noticed that the glutamate on glutathione which is one of the co-substrates along with hydrogen peroxide of the GPO selenoprotein is itself a neurotransmitter and can bind to the NMDA receptor. Glutamate is a tri-peptide with a backwards glutamate and a cysteine and a glycine. I noticed last month when writing about lead detox and presenting my theory on how lead ions can interfere with NMDA receptor that the NMDA receptor whose agonist is glutamate also has a glycine modulating domain. Glutathione, with a backwards glutamate on one side and a glycine on the other side looked to me like a neurotransmitter. Sure enough I found a paper confirming that glutathione is an agonist of the NMDA receptor. So now we can see how glutathione depending on differences in its middle amino acid be it as reduced glutathione or oxidized glutathione or selenoglutathione or methlselenoglutathione etc can communicate with brain to prevent or cause neural death. Glutathione is known to have a protective effect on NMDA receptor. I saw an article by DrSircus that selenoglutathione is a potent anti-cancer molecule. Also, I known that glutathione coated silver and gold nanoparticles are potent anti-cancer molecules. Glutathione as a signal of oxidative stress is a way that anti-cancer signals can be communicated to the brain be they using selenium, or silver or gold. This is definitely a topic that deserves its own newsletter in the future.

    APPENDIX: SELENIUM AND GOLD

    I think gold is protecting +2 charged pathways of calcium, magnesium and zing +2 ions a hypothesis I discussed in detail in last month’s episode on lead detox.

    Sulphur and Selenium reduced down to S2- and Se2- and could be the corresponding anion protectors of the +2 pathway.

    So my first pass guess is that selenium is used instead of or in addition to sulphur as the protecting anion 2- for the important +2 pathways of Calcium, Zinc and Magnesium ions.

    If this is true then the gold and selenium are similar in that they are both protectants against toxic ions from mucking up the +2 charged dependent signaling pathways.

    If this hypothesis is true it could explain why too much selenium is toxic. Unlike neutrally charged gold that protects the pathway in my lead detox hypothesis by bumping out topic +2 lead ions by size not charge without interfering with the +2 ions, selenium would/could bind to a toxic +2 charged ion like lead as Se2- which is great for detox but also too much selenium 2- would interfere with Ca2+, Zn2+, Mg2+ ions and toxicity would result from interfering with the signaling by forming CaSe, ZnSe, MgSe salts.

    I have to do more research to determine how gold interacts with selenium but it seems most plausible with my current knowledge that interaction occurs at least in metallothionein proteins.

    APPENDIX: WHY IS SELENIUM NAMED AFTER THE MOON?

    Blame the Swedish “father of chemistry” Baron Physician Chemist Jons Jacob Berzelius who like to name the elements he discovered after Gods and Goddesses. He also named the element Thorium after the Norse Thunder God Thor which is pretty cool. Naming elements after gods is not a new trend as Mercury the heavy metal is named after the Roman messenger god for example. The official story of how Selenium element got its name is that since Tellurium another chalcogen element which was recently discovered was named after the earth (Latin: Tellus earth), that Baron Berzelius decided to name his newly discovered element which had similar properties to it after the Moon. Why he picked Greek goddess Selene for Selenium instead of Roman Luna or Swedish Mane is clear to me as a chemist as Selenium sounds a lot better than either Lunium or Manium and is nice Selenium starts with an S since it has similar properties to Sulfur another S word. Because the element selenium was discovered in red form but also can be in black or gray forms kinda like the moon can be a blood moon or an eclipsed moon or a silver moon, a fickle changing compound, it makes sense to name it after the moon. After having meditated on selenium now myself, he was spot on naming it after the moon as the moon is a mandala, and selenium is also a mandala as it reflects on the origin of life itself by reflection on energy pathways of oxygen and iodine as I explained in episode.

    APPENDIX: SELENE GREEK MOON GODDESS

    Selenium is named after Selene the moon in female goddess personification. Selene as a female/goddess (God Isis) personification of the moon (Roman Luna) was depicted in Greco-Roman with crescent horns, flowing billowing robes and carrying a torch. Also she was frequently depicted on a chariot being drawn by horses as was the custom for both sun and moon. All of her symbols are very obvious to me, the crescent horns are because the moon on partial full moon can look like a crescent. The billowing robes are actually not the moon itself but rather are a Milky Way reference (MW ref), and the torch makes complete sense because the moon is like a torch in the sky which lights up the night . The moon hides the milky way just as the splendor of the moon hides the splendor of the torch of the milky way except on new (crescent) moon when you can see the billowing robes of the milky way in as a Goddess (MW ref). The female goddess MW ref was the predominant MW ref of the Phonecians/Punic/Carthagenians that the Romans split from. As such Juno was given a more sinister light from which her torches lighting up crossroads for Hecate lead to myths of the Devil hanging out at crossroads in Christian mythology. The moon is a crossroads which can either reflect you back down to earth or which can take you on the golden road (MW ref) straight up to heaven or down to hell depending on your astrotheology. The moon, like the milky way, is a mandala mirror used for seeing your own reflection in the heavens, but whether you see something you like or a monster (Moon Star) can change in a most fickle nature like the moon changes shapes. Fun fact, did you know that in early Manichean Christianity, it was the moon that was Jesus not the sun, then later in Romanized Christianity Jesus became a solar god. But the lunar aspects of Jesus are still very obvious phonetically if you note that Ja = Moon and Je-Sus and Ja-Zeus or Ja-ISIS as supreme male or female gods in greco-roman religion. So the attributes of the Lunar Savior and the Lunar Goddess are one and the same to me, so whether you find Silver or Selenium Sacred, or both as I do you won’t regret meditating on both. Selenium the element much like the moon can change from being a poison into being most healthful nutrient but requires the snake of wisdom to discern the difference. In Norse mythology the Eye of Odin (Compare to word “Iodine”) a pineal reference and an iodine reference via third eye astrotheology reference is the missing key. The psyche i.e. the psychic key is iodine with whose detox poisons like selenium turn into vital nutrients, and poisons like mercury and lead lose their ability to hurt you. May the blessing of the moon and the secret milky way light it hides and the reflected light of the sun be upon you! Namaste, DrBenGo Healthwarrior

  • DETOX LEAD WITH GOLD

    ByHealthWarrior

    Greetings iMedDo Newsletter Subscribers!  For October 2022 Halloween special I present a special meditation on the scariest heavy metal of them all, THE heavy metal, LEAD!  Many people have actually died of lead poisoning and it is estimated that about half of all people who died from unknown chemical exposure it is later figured out that it was lead poisoning that did them in.  Because its relatively easy to check for lead in the bones & hair posthumously, we actually have a lot of data on historical lead poisoning and the only good thing about it is that lead exposure has decreased somewhat in the past few hundred years, and yet lead poisoning is still a major problem unless you get educated on how to avoid it.  In this episode I will explain the major sources of lead poisoning which historically is from prostitutes and drinking, and in modern times the major sources still of lead poisoning from leaded crystal decanters and lead glazed pottery and from lead pipes, all also drinking of lead related.  Lead drank is usually in the Pb2+ form which is able to interfere with 3 important signaling molecules in the body Ca2+, Zn2+ and Mg2+ because of similar charge.  In this episode I present my hypothesis that gold in neutral monoatomic form like as released from colloidal gold is able to detox lead ions from the body based on size not charge and thus gold can be used for a direct detox and antidote for lead poisoning. Also I will go into detail of some lead neuroscience of how lead interferes with the NMDA receptor in the brain which in my opinion appears to be from MAGNESIUM disruption.  Additionally, I will discuss how lead through zinc disruption is able to disrupt iron and red blood cells which has been well studied.  Turning lead into gold is alchemy, and detoxing lead with gold is what the iMedDo Heavy Metal Detox system does.   Lead like all heavy metals results in iodine deficiency as the body has to expend iodine to detox the lead, and a simple cure to lead poisoning is simply iodine replenishment with gold to protect the brain and silver to protect the body is the iMedDo way to handle lead safely and gently and compare to chelation therapy in mainstream medicine which can detox the lead too fast resulting in headache, nausea, and kidney damage etc.  People have used iMedDo to detox lead from Flint, Michigan and recently it is my hope that people will use it again to detox lead in Jackson, MS and in other places where failing lead pipe municipal water is resulting in lead poisoning of children even today.  It is my hope that philanthropists, other charities and other churches will step it up to purchase iMedDo detox for their themselves and their local communities.  If you are worried about lead poisoning and don’t know what do please contact me, can schedule an appointment at link iMedDo.club/book.

    HISTORICAL LEAD POISONING TO PRESENT A LITANY OF BADNESS

    In ancient bronze age empires, there was a desire to make an imitation gold, which resulting in the creating of brass from copper and zinc. Unfortunately, lead was often added and lead poisoning from drinking from leaded brass was in my opinion a partial cause of the fall of the bronze age empires from which only Egypt survived the collapse. Even today lead is still aded to brass and leaded pipes from leaded brass, leaded soder or just plain lead pipes is still a major concern even in modern times. Lead is also believed to have been a partial cause of the fall of the Roman empire. The Athenian Greeks mined large amounts of silver and had large amounts of lead leftover from the mining that later the Romans sought to use as they had the lead in abundant supply. The Romans did not know about lead poisoning it seems so they had the bad idea to add lead to their wine as lead acetate as a wine sweetener. The result is that many a roman was lead poisoned by their wine and lead poisoning is believed to have contributed to the fall of the Roman Empire. Prostitutes would use leaded cosmetics like lead oxide on their face and would even eat lead by the spoonful on purpose to cause miscarriages and abortions. Note that the white face paint of the Geisha in Japan contained lead, and for Halloween, the Harlot Queen see Harley Quinn from popular DC comics show Batman is depicted with a white face and with the Joker acts violent and criminally insane which can be explained by lead poisoning. In 16th & 17th century England and even America, lead poisoning was common from apple cider made with lead equipment. Even after lead was removed from wine, people still manage to poison themselves until very recently by storing their wine and booze in leaded crystal decanters, and by drinking from lead glazed pottery cups. Lead was also used in hair dyes and many other industrial applications. Even in the 20th century people still found novel ways to give themselves lead poisoning. In the 1920’s lead was added to automotive gasoline (tetra-ethyl-lead) which was able to readily absorb in the skin and which gave people hallucinations and is not so fondly remembered as “looney gas”. Today you will notice that gasoline stations say “unleaded” on them harkening to that dark time. Sadly, leaded gas is still used for airplane fuel. The vast majority of lead used in industry today is still used in the automotive industry for lead car batteries but fortunately there is little exposure except for people in battery recycling industry in particular need to be careful and detox. Today the top cause of lead poisoning is from drinking from lead pipes and the poor little children are the most susceptible to lead poisoning because their developing bodies absorb it more than adults. Older houses prior to 1978 can contain lead paints and humans have managed sadly to brain damage many a child with lead paint dust. It’s also possible to give yourself lead poisoning from gun ranges (smelling too much lead blasting caps) and lead is using in fishing from lead sinkers which though pose not much risk to humans can cause lead environmental problems for wildlife. Lead shot has been replaced with steel shot for things like duck hunting for example to avoid accidental lead exposure from eating game with lead ammunition inside. Looking at history of lead poisoning it’s truly scary and terrible and looking at the present where lead poisoning is still a problem mostly from drinking lead from tap water and tap water created beverages (sodas, wines etc), I hope we as humans can learn from the past and do better. I know I can. I just realized that a brass water hose attachment I’m using has lead in it the same bronze age problem that never got fixed. Some things never change.

    THE SOLUTION TO LEAD IS GOLD

    The good news is that even before the bronze age the solution to lead poisoning was known it’s just that no-one wants to use it because it’s expensive, the cure to lead poisoning is gold. In almost all uses of lead gold could be used as a nontoxic alternative, so lead poisoning becomes an economic issue. Gold is 10x more electrically conductive than lead and could be used for car batteries instead of lead and gold is even dense than lead and can be used instead of lead where something heavy is required, but gold is not a heavy metal because unlike lead it is not toxic in the body and is very biocompatible. Meditating on the problem, it comes down to the fact that humans love to hoard gold. Sure we’ll pass out bottled water to people with lead pipes and failing water treatment plants, but will we send them gold health supplements? Best I can do is to make the food grade gold available for donations that can be recovered by tax write off through my church iMedDo Foundation. The charity Rise Beyond Dreams purchased and donated iMedDo Health Supplements to help the those suffering with lead poisoning in Flint, Michigan. No-one has yet contacted me to purchase and donate health supplement for the lead poisoned in Jackson, MS, I suppose because they are getting so much federal aid and they think that bottled water is the solution. Sadly, bottled water can contain fluoride, and left out in the heat leeches plastic, so the people drinking it might not be getting the clean water they think though at least is better than the tap water.

    COVER ART “Detox Lead with Gold”

    The cover art depicts lead pipes with a water spout pouring from being lead into being gold to depict the detox of lead poison with gold medicine.  To indicate that lead is poisonous I used skull & crossbones with red Pb2+ ion underneath where the skull is that of a Japanese Geisha with white face-paint to indicated that many women have been lead poisoned by white lead oxide face paint in prostitute and sex trade industry as the lead is used to cause infertility.  The geisha skull is a sign of the divine mother and reminder also of all the poor children born in lead poisoned conditions such as children eating lead paint.   I used wine in a leaded crystal decanter underneath the lead pipe to indicate that wine was once a major source of lead poisoning from sweet wine in Roman times, and then even in modern times even after lead was removed from wine, people still obtained lead poison drinking from leaded crystal decanters.  Wine is a religious symbol and whether your wine contains lead or is lead free in a golden chalice is a good point to meditate on when thinking about turning lead into gold.  To the right of the pipe is a bottle of NeuGold food grade colloidal gold which is I believe a cure for lead ion poisoning from drank sources be they pipes or wine.  Below the water spigot is the elemental symbol for gold Au inside of the Triforce depicted as an Egyptian pyramid with 3 ions, Calcium, Magnesium and Zinc to indicate the 3 signaling molecule paths that I believe lead is able to block and that gold is able clear by detox and restore by gold detox of lead hypothesis discussed in episode.  Hope you my dear readers enjoy this cover art, it took me about a full day to create and was in part divine inspired.  I find the Geisha skull and cross bones to be a bit scary but that’s okay because this is a halloween special, and Happy Halloween!  DrBenGo Healthwarrior

    LEAD IS THE HEAVIEST & MOST TOXIC HEAVY METAL 

    Because lead is the heaviest naturally occurring element and because it has well known toxicity to humans, it has become the very definition of toxic heavy metal against which all other putative toxic heavy metals are compared. Lead (Pb) is element #82 on the periodic table.  Because  elements used by the human body are generally of much lower atomic number (#34 and below). The term “heavy metal” has become widely synonymous with “toxic metal” thanks to lead.  The obvious to me as a biochemist elements used by the human body are #34 selenium, #30 zinc, #29 copper, #26 iron, #25 manganese, #24 chromium #20 calcium, #19 potassium, #17 chorine (as chloride) #16 sulphur #15 phosphorus #12 magnesium #11 sodium #8 oxygen #7 nitrogen #6 carbon #5 boron #3 lithium #1 hydrogen.   

    NOTABLE HEAVY METAL EXCEPTIONS

    There are three elements above atomic number 34 which are beneficial to the human body  silver #47, iodine #53, and gold #79.   Note that the iMedDo Detox System uses these three for detox.   Besides these three, as far as I can tell all of the elements above #34 are either not used by the human body or are toxic to the human body or they haven’t been studied enough to say.   In general besides, silver, gold and iodine, elements above #34 are presumed to be toxic heavy metals and two most well known ones for their bad toxicity are #80 mercury and #82 lead.   The notable exception in the under 34 category that is toxic and is thus a heavy metal by definition in the toxicity sense even though it is light is #13 aluminum.     

    One of my goals as a biochemist is to learn and be able to better explain to people with elements are toxic and which ones are not and why, and it’s a long and slow process as I have to examine each one individually and the way I’m approaching it is through these monthly newsletters.  So far I have a newsletter on #30 zinc, #29 copper, #26 iron #12 magnesium   for the ones used by the body, and so far I have a newsletter on #13 aluminum, #80 mercury and excited to present this month this newsletter for #82 lead, and #79 gold.   

    LEAD VS GOLD 

    Why is #82 lead bad for you and #79 gold good for you is a question I want to address in this episode.   Many people are afraid to use gold and silver and maybe even iodine because they are under the mistaken impression that just because these three are high atomic number that they must be toxic heavy metals.   They are not, they are exceptions.  Iodine is not even a metal it is a metalloid that can detox metals.  Silver and Gold are not heavy metals they are notable noble metals that defy the trend of high atomic number elements being heavy metals, they are not “heavy metals” by definition because they are not toxic.  Gold is extremely biocompatible.  

    I don’t blame people for being afraid to use gold because it looks very suspicious at #79 so close to known uber toxins #80 mercury and #82 lead, the two worst heavy metals, and it’s tempting to want to lump gold in as a heavy metal but it is not because it’s not only not toxic it appears to have beneficial effects in the human body which means that it is doing something that unlike its bad neighbors is at a minimum not interfering with the body’s biochemistry and is possibly even helping it via unknown pathways where gold is being used as an unrecognized mineral nutrient which is my belief.   

    WHY GOLD IS GOOD FOR YOU AND WHY LEAD IS BAD FOR YOU 

    I am going explain to the best of my ability why gold is good for you and why lead is bad for you in a way I hope you can understand.   To do so I have to present to you my hypothesis on how gold detoxes lead.  To understand how gold detoxes lead you first have to understand why lead is toxic, what pathways lead is blocking and then if my hypothesis is correct then the reason, or at least one of the reasons that gold is good for you is because it unblocks these pathways by flushing out the lead.  

    LEAD TOXICITY HYPOTHESIS OF DRBENGO

    Lead Pb(0) in the human body expressed its toxicity as the lead ion Pb2+.   Rather than thinking about lead being “heavy” i.e. a large size, it is more instructive to think of lead in terms of charge with a +2 formal charge.   The reason lead is toxic is because it directly interferes with the +2 charge electrical system of the body.   In particular elements #30 zinc, #20 calcium and #12 magnesium which are used for signaling the body as +2 formal charge ions, Zn2+, Ca2+, Mg2+ are directly disrupted by the lead Pb2+ ion.  This is a major problem because there are thousands of signaling pathways used in the body that rely on calcium, zinc (3000 pathways) and magnesium (300 pathways).   Also, lead is known to disrupt red blood cell formation and causes low iron, though whether it was from Zn2+ disruption or because lead can also disrupt Fe2+ (ferrous iron) directly as well.   What is known is that lead causes low iron and high zinc proteins in the blood.  It is general knowledge that lead disrupts Calcium, but if you look at lead more closely it become clear that lead is also disrupting Magnesium and it appears to be that it is actually Magnesium disruption either in addition to or instead of calcium disruption that is responsible primary lead toxicity in the brain.   What I want you to known my dear readers is that I hypothesize that lead ions Pb2+ is so toxic because of charge mimicry where it imitates Mg2+, Ca2+, Zn2+ signaling molecules.  In this episode I will look more closely at how lead disrupt the NMDA receptor in the brain and it is my believe based on this closer look that the primary toxicity of lead is the brain is actually from disruption of the Mg2+.   

    This hypothesis of how lead ions can interrupt +2 charged singnaling ions in the body explains why lead so toxic all over the human body.   Lead is like a monkey wrench that shuts down everything.   

    Lead by DIRECTLY interfering with the +2 electrical pathway can even interfere INDIRECTLY with the +1 electrical pathway (#11 sodium (as Na+) & #19 potassium (as K+) with NMDA brain protein given as an example of how since Ca2+ channel also lets Na+ and K+ through but cannot if blocked by Pb2+ ion.    

    Key point: Lead not only interferes with calcium and iron as is commonly stated, it also interferes with magnesium and zinc.  

    GOLD DETOXICITY HYPOTHESIS OF DRBENGO

    The reason that gold is not a heavy meal like lead is because gold is not toxic.  The reason is apparent to me that unlike lead, gold does not interfere with the +2 electrical pathway, unlike lead, gold does not disrupt Ca2+, Mg2+ and Zn2+ signaling nor does it disrupt Fe2+.   Gold is hard to oxidize so colloidal gold release monoatomic gold Au(0) from its surfaces which are neutral in charge and then do not disrupt the +2 electrical pathways.  Even when gold becomes oxidized like when it detoxes fluoride it become Au3+ ion as in gold salt where the 3+ does not disrupt the 2+ electrical ion pathway of the body’s signaling molecules.   So gold is not toxic that’s nice, but can gold actually detox lead directly?  I think it can and the reason is based on size & charge.   The gold Au(0) atom as monoatomic gold is neutrally charged but of similar size as the lead Pb2+ ion.   How similar?  Almost exactly the same size just slightly larger 136 pm vs 133 pm (pico meter) covalent radius.  I think that gold can bump lead ion Pb2+ out of +2 charge electrical pathway allowing  Ca2+, Mg2+ and Zn2+ to replace the Pb2+ as required to restore the biochemical signaling function and to negate the lead toxicity and biochemical signaling dysfunction.   So whereas lead causes dysfunction because of its charge imitation, gold is able to detox lead without charge imitation by remaining neutral and is able to detox lead based on size not charge.   

    SYMPTOMS OF LEAD POISONING

    Because lead is such a monkey wrench in the body pretty much anything bad can be caused by lead, basically it makes you sick, crazy and can kill you. Here is a non inclusive list of some of the symptoms of lead poisoning: colic, abdominal pain,  death, encephalopathy, delirium, coma, seizures, headaches, loss of short term memory or concentration, depression, anxiety, psychiatric problems,  nausea, loss of coordination, numbness & tingling in extremities, fatigue, problems sleeping, stupor, slurred speech, anemia, reproductive problems, low sperm count, miscarriages, low birth weight, problems with development during childhood, obsessive compulsive disorder,  children show aggression, refuse to play, hearing loss. Lead in air causes people to get aggressive and violent, criminal insanity & more.

    DETECTING LEAD POISONING

    There are all kinds of signs for those who are looking including behavior changes, any of the symptoms listed above, additionally there are some other things like pale skin, blue gums, and other things that can be detected on X-ray, blood tests and urine analysis by skilled practitioners. If you are using iMedDo detox system already you have no worries for lead poisoning as your body will flush it out faster than you take it in unless you are absorbing lead from some source such as drinking leaded tap water everyday. One way you can verify you don’t have lead poisoning without spending money on testing is that if you have any grey hairs then you don’t have lead poisoning because lead makes the hair brown or grey which is why it used to be used for hair dye. I have seveal grey hairs on my chinny chin chin so I known I don’t have any lead poisoning =). My wife Shari-Grace saw and add on the internet that a lab (quest diagnostics) is offering a lead test for only $49 can can ordered online without a doctors prescription of visit.   My position is that if you have $50 to burn on a lead test then you should do it right you should do it twice for a before and an after.  I recommend you do the $50 lead test to find your levels, use the iMedDo detox system (6 month supply) for at least 3 months, then spend another $50 to get another lead test so that you have a before and after showing that your lead levels went down.  

    TREATING LEAD POISONING

    The iMedDo Detox is an alternative treatment to chelation therapy that uses iodine and gold to detox lead for a double whammy to get it out safely using iodine nutrient replenishment with dose ramping and colloidal gold to protect the brain and colloidal silver to protect the body. You can do iMedDo even if you are doing chelation therapy. Chelation therapy uses chelators EDTA or DMPS to remove lead, but can potentially remove it too fast and requires nutrient replenishment so if you do chelation to remove lead be sure to do under supervision of a skilled medical practitioner.

    IMMUNE TO LEAD 

    If you are an adult and reading this, then lead poses no real risk for you as you are cognizant enough to not drink unfiltered tap water, are already using iMedDo Detox System daily and probably can’t even absorb lead into your body even if you tried.  Whatever small amount of lead you unintentionally get in your diet which is preferentially absorbed when you drink it if at all will promptly be flushed right back out your body since you have adequate iodine, silver will protect your body and gold will protect your brain.  Anyone using iMedDo is immune to lead poisoning.  If you become exposed to lead then simply increase your NeuGold dosage to 2-4 drops instead of 1 drop a day depending on exposure and give me a call iMedDo.club/book if have questions on dosage. 

    Namaste,

    APPENDIX: LEADED MILKY WAY REFERENCE

    The whore of Babylon (Baby Lion) Milky Way Reference in the Bible is a reference to the Harlot Queen which goes back to Minoan-Egyptian-Greco Roman cult of Sehkmet/Bast/Isis/Artemis. Whereas most milky way reference view the stars as gold, when viewed as the Harlot Queen the white glow of the milky way is viewed as leaded face paint. This is the only lead related milky way reference that I’m aware of which is very interesting. Most milky way reference even as female Goddess are related to gold instead of lead, such as the golden cow Hathor, or Mermaid with golden treasure or Dragon with golden treasure. There is a coded reference in the Bible to view God as Good as Gold (Chrysos i.e Christ) i.e. better to view the Milky Way as gold than as lead. If you instead of seeing gold see lead than you miss the golden rule and get the lead rule devolving into insanity is my take. Happy Halloween!
