Almost 20 yrs ago I started seeing my big strong husband become randomly fatigued and have to lie down, then his legs became weak and he started stumbling. I was terrified that he had ALS. Then I remembered the statin this the doc had put him on bc of his FH. I did some research and threw the statin away. Tried a dozen different CoQ10 products til I found one ( a liquid, Qunol) that actually seemed to reverse the muscle weakness. Complete recovery, went on to do marathons, etc. Docs still try to put him on statins to this day. I have so many of these stories from 35 yrs with my health-challenged hubby, he's a walking case study.

Congrats to the both of you!

I have surmised for years now that ALS is yet another manmade disease, resulting from vaccine poisonings, pesticide poisonings, etc. Glad to see you covering this, Unbekoming!

The late Dan Olmsted, who co-founded and wrote for the Age of Autism blog, wrote this fascinating, multi-part series on what likely caused many cases of paralytic “polio” and “polio” deaths in Brooklyn, NY, in 1916. Hint: the spraying of arsenic on sugar cane for the first time in Hawaii, with the sugar making its way to NY:

Excellent piece of journalism. Thank you.

I do wish people would quote Mark Purdey properly!!. He was a lovely chap and his ideas deserve justice. He came up with a range of ideas for what was causing and contributing to BSE. As I recall his main theory revolved around Manganese. BSE had been around for centuries along with its human counterpart and he felt this was due to natural toxicity from soil. The illness correlated with people drinking pine needle tea for example, as pine trees bio accumulate manganese. It is a personal concern for me as I make a lot of tree based food products.

Mark sadly died very young of a brain tumour himself.. despite his organic lifestyle and it was all a sad testimony to how easy it is to get ill tbh. He warned us about a local patch of grazing having too much manganese in the soil and we avoided it thereafter … I still flinch when I pass those fields in fact.

When covd era began and there was a fashion to drink pine needle tea and supplements I did wonder if we would be setting off a whole new set of disorders.

Yes, various plants accumulate this or that mineral.

And tobacco is an accumulator of cadmium in the soil. Exposure to too much cadmium predisposes a heavy smoker to osteoporosis.

Trying to edit my above second paragraph, but the editing does not work. You get my drift anyway, I hope!

Yeowoman's avatar

yup .. and cocoa can have more than its share of cadmium too. We are oddly slow to wake up to these things. I dont think it paid anyone to analyse natural products ..

Horsea T.'s avatar

Well, that is news to me. I thought that the only thing wrong with cocoa/chocolate is that it is heavy in the serious anti-nutrient phytate (except for white chocolate). Live and learn!

People want chocolate the way they want to keep on breathing. It is not just the sugar; they will be satisfied with the diabetic chocolate products. I wonder what's going on. It's a feel-good food, I guess...

I knew about the toxins. I didn't know Lou Gehrig suffered multiple concussions. Mohammed Ali eventually died of Parkinson's Disease , a degenerative disease that results in the wasting of the basal ganglia, a structure in the brain that initiates the inhibitory pathways that result in smooth movement.

All this labeling of these neurodegenerative disorders give clues as to which structures of the brain are responsible for which action, even if the label is BS as is the treatment.

its just poisonings by all the chemical poisons

In short, zinc helps the body use copper in a productive manner, preventing its destructive misuse. And in so doing, zinc's affiliation with copper repairs the damage which aluminum has caused. This explains why my experimental usage of copper supplementation (decades ago) ended in failure. I intuitively knew that I should not consume copper supplements. Little did I know then what I know now that zinc combined with copper (in a ratio of 15 units of zinc per unit of copper) would have prevented my mother from dying of ALS in 1999.

Sorry, mom.

Anyone heard of Jason Becker -- a brilliant guitarist from the 80s? He developed ALS in 1989 and is completely paralyzed since early 90s. Watching a video of him getting a visit by his own guitar hero - Eddie Van Halen, while going through horrible breading troubles, seeing his emaciated arms, wasting body - is truly painful and so sad. I wonder how he got it, and so, so young. I wonder if his parents (his sole caretakers) know any of this, or would be interested in reading Unbekoming's post. I so wish he could use his hands once more, to create his magical music.

VinnyBee's avatar

I named my male cat Becker after him since he is one of my all time favorite guitarists! Reading this article I thought of him the whole time. I wonder what shot(s) he took prior to his degeneration.

Noa Beau's avatar

Yes, I wonder that too. It was 1989 when he was diagnosed, if I remember correctly, so no covid shots back then. But plenty of other toxic garbage. Poor kid, only 20 when he started declining. I wish his parents new about this article by Unbecoming.

Thank you, Unbekoming, for yet another educational article! ALS is such a cruel disease! I appreciate the hopeful/helpful information included. If I remember correctly, 60 Minutes did an episode on the horrific anthrax vaccines years ago. They'd likely never do that now.

What happened to the footnote numbers? I was looking for footnote #30, because it was supposed to have exposed why Gulf War soldiers got Gulf War Syndrome. Otherwise I have to try to see if I can find where French soldiers who didn't get the vaccine but who served in Iraq didn't get Gulf War Syndrome, proving that it was the vaccine that gave it to the American soldiers.

In your "Remove What is There" segment under "What Can be Done" would it be worthwhile to mention Professor Exley's Substack and suggestion for using silicic acid in specific waters to enhance aluminium detoxification?

Too bad that people wait for that god Science to tell us why head injuries (sometimes) result in neurological symptoms (name of disease is not relevant). Some old folks knew a long time ago when someone who got hit in the head one way or another and then acted abnormally, that there was a connection. I heard this as a child.

Remember those old western films where some SOB was that way supposedly because his mother was frightened by a snake when she was pregnant with him? Googol tells us, "This specific gag [sic] is a famous pop culture parody of old folklore, referencing the outdated 19th-century medical belief that a pregnant mother's psychological experiences could physically or morally impact her unborn baby." Damn that old folklore, it's ruined us!

For ages, people just knew stuff. Common sense. Eons later, "researchers" order a few hundred godforsaken mammals for their never-ending, repeated "studies". Keep playing that gig, Scientist.

Seus conhecimentos são muito preciosos! Seria bom agregar aos seus valiosos estudos os conhecimentos, também preciosos, do Dr. Paulo César Fructuoso, médico brasileiro, cirurgião oncológico, especialista em ectoplasmia. Ele possui vários livros sobre o estudo do ectoplasma. Estou enviando link do vídeo muito interessante.

No seu artigo "Luz: Medicina do Futuro (1991)", achei muito profundo e me fez lembrar do médico brasileiro cirurgião oncológico Dr. Paulo César Fructuoso. Acredito que vai ser muito valioso para você o conteúdo e os livros dele para fortalecerem seus conhecimentos em relação ao título do seu artigo Luz: Medicina do Futuro (1991). Espero que você goste! Sempre vejo seus artigos, são excelentes e de profundo conhecimento! Gratidão!
