Mercury Toxicity

Ever heard of the "Mad Hatter"? The term comes from hat makers in the 19th century that would cure felts in a mercury based compound. After a period of time working with the mercury vapors, the hatters would develop uncontrollable twitches and trembles... some would go crazy. The result was a "Mad Hatter".

Mercury has been a topic of great debate in the health field. It has long been known that mercury is a neurotoxin. The controversy of mercury arises when mercury is mixed with other substances... is it dangerous to our health? Many dentists used mercury amalgam fillings for years - many are now switching to other methods. Some vaccinations contain Thimerosal, a mercury based preservative. Most vaccinations now have a mercury-free alternative.

The important factor here is to know what is in the products you consume. After all, only you can care about you. Watch the video and read the article below for additional information.

The Safety Pin

A safety pin is a great tool to demonstrate the effects of malfunction of the nervous system.

The safety pin has a head, two sides, and a loop. Imagine that the head of the pin represents the brain; the loop represents an organ or a cell. The brain sends a message down to the organ and then the organ responds back to the brain. This communication is necessary to maintain a healthy body. At times, a trauma, a chemical, or an emotion can disconnect one of the pathways. This creates a situation in which the brain and organ lose proper communication. Just like an employee without any direction from the supervisor, the organ begins to function and perform as it deems best and does not give any attention to the rest of its surroundings.

The outcome is dis-ease which leads to disease. With proper treatment, the communication between brain and organ can be restored and bring the body back to a state of ease.

Cross-Crawl

Our bodies were designed with a "crossed" mechanism. When functioning properly, the two hemispheres of the brain communicate with each other and create a pattern that utilizes opposite sides of the body. This mechanism is know as "Cross-Crawl". It can best be observed when one is walking; the opposite arm and leg are extended simultaneously.

When this mechanism is not working properly, one can experience neurological disorders such as dyslexia, ADD, ADHD, lack of coordination, loss of balance, stuttered speech, or clumsiness. The body can be re-programmed to the proper "crossed" pattern through the use of cross crawl exercises, producing dramatic effects upon the body.

Get "Nervous" around blood...

The system that controls all aspects of the human body is the nervous system. It is a complex arrangement of nerves that receive and send information.

The condition of your nervous system is more important than your latest blood test! Yes, true health lies in the condition of the nervous system - not the blood. If the nervous system is functioning properly and your diet and lifestyle are complimentary, your blood will be healthy. The plumbing just responds to the quality of products around it.

A large emphasis of medicine is about the blood. The condition of the blood content is important, but the nervous system is overriding. How many times per day do you hear about cholesterol and blood pressure? Do you notice that blood pressure is always being analyzed? Who analyzes your nervous system? Your nervous system controls blood pressure, levels of cholesterol, and balance of ions in the blood.

The nervous system tells no lies. Ensure that your wiring is in proper control. Learn more about analyzing your nervous system with applied kinesiology.
