Cytokines - an overview
Cytokines are signaling proteins, usually less than 80 kDa in size, which regulate a wide range of biological functions including innate and acquired immunity, hematopoiesis, inflammation and repair, and proliferation through mostly extracellular signaling. They are secreted by many cell types at local high concentrations and are involved in cell-to-cell interactions, have an effect on closely ... Better Bones, Better Body Program: Heavy Metals

Cadmium Poisoning In RA Patients Acute exposure to cadmium fumes may cause flu like symptoms including chills, fever, and muscle ache sometimes referred to as "the cadmium blues." Symptoms may resolve after a week if there is no respiratory damage. More severe exposures can cause tracheo-bronchitis, pneumonitis, and pulmonary edema. Symptoms of inflammation may start hours after the exposure and include cough, dryness and irritation of the nose and throat, headache, dizziness, weakness, fever, chills, and chest pain. Inhaling cadmium-laden dust quickly leads to respiratory tract and kidney problems which can be fatal (often from renal failure). Ingestion of any significant amount of cadmium causes immediate poisoning and damage to the liver and the kidneys. Compounds containing cadmium are also carcinogenic.
The bones become soft (osteomalacia), lose bone mineral density (osteoporosis) and become weaker and increases the risk of fractures. The kidneys lose their function to remove acids from the blood in proximal renal tubular dysfunction. The kidney damage inflicted by cadmium poisoning is irreversible. The proximal renal tubular dysfunction creates low phosphate levels in the blood (hypophosphatemia), causing muscle weakness and sometimes coma. The dysfunction also causes gout, a form of arthritis due to the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints because of high acidity of the blood (hyperuricemia). Another side effect is increased levels of chloride in the blood (hyperchloremia). The kidneys can also shrink up to 30%. Other patients lose their sense of smell (anosmia).
Sources of Cadmium Poising Most cadmium used in the US is a byproduct of the productions of metals such as zinc, lead, and copper. It is also found in the following consumer products: Batteries Pigments Metal coatings, Plastics Some metal alloys, Fertilizers, Cigarettes. When cadmium enters the air, it binds to small particles. It falls to the ground or water as rain or snow, and may contaminate fish, plants, and animals. Improper waste disposal and spills at hazardous waste sites may cause cadmium to leak into nearby water and soil. Having skin contact with cadmium is not known to cause health problems, but the following exposures to cadmium can cause serious health problems: Breathing air that contains high levels of cadmium Eating food containing relatively high levels of cadmium (eg, shellfish, liver, kidney meats-but highest levels are often found in potatoes and leafy vegetables) rice grown in the central province of Hunan contains unacceptable levels of cadmium, a carcinogenic heavy metal. Drinking water contaminated with cadmium Breathing in cigarette smoke; smoking doubles the average daily intake of cadmium.

Mercury
Mercury rapidly crosses the placenta and accumulates in the fetus at higher levels than in the mother. Two studies in 2012 showed that a mother’s mercury exposure is linked to attention problems in her children. Scientific studies have documented that ethylmercury used in vaccines crosses into the infant brain and could impact critical stages of brain development.

Arsenic Poisoning (video)
Chronic arsenic poisoning (called also arsenism), due to ingestion of small amounts over a long period of time, is marked by:
1. white lines on the fingernails 2. scaling 3. Raindrop Pigmentation/skin pigmentation/w cancer 4. hyperkeratosis of the palms and soles 5. peripheral neuropathy 6. confusion. Chronic poisoning is divided into various stages the first is the gastrointestinal distress, loss of appetite, gums swelling, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Stage 2: chronic arsenic poisoning is the dermatological stage known as poor man's disease/ Bowen's Disease so cancers grow in the Hyperkeratosis which are caused by the arsenic toxin Video Image: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlGLVe9QP2c Source: ARSENIC ( Metallic Irritants) POISONING https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYeLnWOrUj4 .

Eatable Mushroom Laccaria amethystina
As with other members of the genus Laccaria, this species is edible, though generally not considered a choice edible.[citation needed] While not inherently toxic, in soils that are polluted with arsenic, it can bioaccumulate a high concentration of that element.[2] References in periodicals archive

The Toxic Effects of Fluoride
In addition to the well documented toxic effects of fluoride such as the risk to the brain, thyroid, bones, and kidney patients, fluoride even at dosages of 1 part per million, found in artificially fluoridated water, can inhibit enzyme systems, damage the immune system, contribute to calcification of soft tissues, worsen arthritis and, of course, cause Dental Fluorosis in children. These are unsightly white, yellow or brown spots that are found in teeth exposed to fluoride during childhood. In 1993, the Subcommittee on Health Effects of Ingested Fluoride of the National Research Council admitted that 8% to 51% and sometimes up to 80% of the children living in fluoridated areas have dental fluorosis. Malnourished people, particularly children, usually targeted for fluoridation, are at greater risks to experience fluoride’s harmful effects. 97% of western Europe has chosen fluoride free water.

Silver
Xu F, Piett C, et al., conclude that silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) cause degeneration of cytoskeleton and disrupt synaptic machinery of cultured cortical neurons..(1)
Nanoparticles of noble metals, such as gold, silver, and platinum, are widely applied in products that directly come in contact with the human body, such as shampoos, soaps, detergent, shoes, cosmetic products, and toothpaste, besides medical and pharmaceutical applications. |
This green chemistry, biologically synthesized nanoparticles exercise numerous advantages over the chemically synthesized ones.
A high exposure dose to nanosilver alters the cellular stress responses and initiates cascades of signalling that can eventually trigger organelle autophagy and apoptosis. (4)
|
Taken together, our data show that Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) induce toxicity in neurons, which involves degradation of cytoskeleton components, perturbations of pre- and postsynaptic proteins, and mitochondrial dysfunction leading to cell death. Our study clearly demonstrates the potential detrimental effects of AgNPs on neuronal development and physiological functions and warns against its prolific usage. (1).

We could for the first time show that an implantable vagus nerve stimulator inhibits peripheral blood cytokine production in humans. VNS significantly inhibited TNF and IL-6 production and improved RA disease severity, even in some patients with therapy-resistant disease. This work strongly supports further studies using a bioelectronic approach to treat RA and other IMIDs.

“Millions of RA patients are treated with TNFα inhibiting agents, but these expensive biologicals are effective in only 30 to 40 percent of patients,” explained Hueseyin Firat, President & CEO of Firalis. “We believe our BIOPRED assay will identify patients who will not successfully respond to such therapies. This Agreement is expected to, among other things, bring to market a product and services to improve clinical decision‑making, improve health outcomes for RA patients, and contribute to cost reduction and sustainability of the health care system in the multibillion dollar global RA drug market.”

When you have trauma, it affects the energy field as well. The energy field, it's sort of like its own fourth circulatory system. When energy moves, that can change things very quickly.
You need to look at bacteria. You need to look at heavy metals. You need to look at emotional trauma. And the three things go together. So it's profound. So I thought I would just share that story to explain as well that there's different lenses that you can look at. An emotion isn't just a neuropeptide. It's not just a hormone. It's not just our gut bacteria. Emotions are also electromagnetic and get impacted by energy medicine. And it's why some of the biggest things you can do to resolve emotional trauma are actually energy psychology techniques. They're some of the most ef fective. So it's important for people to understand that a multifactorial approach is best for detoxing heavy metals.

Iodine pills contain potassium iodide, a stable form of iodine.
The hope is that your thyroid absorbs it instead of the radioactive stuff. And for that reason, they do help—but they only really protect the thyroid, because it’s the body part that sucks up most of the iodine in your body. And they don’t help your body deal with any other radioactive elements. Plus, they don’t actually do anything to the radioactive material.

Legacy Waste
Radioactive waste generated in the making of nuclear weapons,The U.S. has well over 100 million gallons of highly radioactive waste from the weapons program. The waste is being stored and processed at locations such as the Savannah River Site in South Carolina. The materials will not decay entirely for many millennia and, therefore, locking the radioactive elements inside the crystal waste forms assures that they will not escape from their underground permanent storage facilities into the environment.(1)
the new Plutonium
The Center for Hierarchical Waste Form Materials developed prototype waste forms, including those that can contain plutonium. In this new phase of the project, they will test the longevity and resilience of the new plutonium forms as well as develop new structures to contain:
Neptunium
Americium, and the particularly problematic radioactive elements technetium, cesium and iodine.
