Thank you for writing.
I am not a medical person either but it is my opinion that the problem with
Guam is the nuclear weapons that were dumped that have contaminated the waters of Guam
with Stromium which is a heavy metal. I have read that even
the coral is loaded with this heavy metal. I did read one
article that linked a neurological disorder on Guam to a flying fox and
the fruit it ate. Neurotoxins from blue-green algae (cyanobacterium)
accumulate in brains and may cause AlS/PDC Well this disease sounds a
lot like PSP to me. It is Amymotropic lateral sclerosis /
Parkinsonism dementia
Complex. There sample size on this study was too small to draw definite
conclusion from but I have to wonder if they factored in the heavy metal
contamination on the island that would help them to pin point the cause. I know that there may be a genetic component that might
decide which of these neurological disease you develop. But in most cases
there is a acumination of heavy metal found in Alzheimer's, Parkinson, MS.
I don't know if that is true of PSP. Some times there is more than
one problem going on with the patient. Not until the patient is
autopsied can the true diagnosis be made. Especially in
Dementia There are even some people who say that heavy metal are even
involved in CDJ or Mad Cow. A lot of people agree that this is an environment problem caused by
pesticide, petroleum product and chemical waste by products. You asked
about Phosphorus. I have not run across any mention of phosphorus being linked in any of
my reading. I did note a passage in an article on www.drmyhill.uk
that mentioned organic phosphate pesticides in relationship
to Prion disorders in various motor Neuron disease. I read another article
that the antibiotic Clioquinol helped Alzheimer's. It was
thought that it did so by removing heavy metals from the body. They also had
to give B12 also as that had to be replaced. There is a test called a "intra-cellular
red pack cell study of heavy metals" that can let the doctor
know if heavy metals are accumulating in the patient body. Chelating it
out with oral or IV Chelating is thought to be the best way to remove
excessive metal.
There is a search going on for a viral or bacteria trigger that
might start the process.
They have found a link between a common respiratory bacteria Chalamydia
pneumoniae and plaque found in the brains of non-hereditary
Alzheimer's disease. Up to 90 percent of Alzheimer patients had this in their
brains.
The researcher were able to trigger these plaques in mice which might indicate
the mechanism for what starts the process. There is a Dr. Frank Bastian a
pathologist at Tulane University in New Orleans who has been studying
chronic wasting disease in animals who links a bacteria "Spiroplasma
mirum" (found in rabbit ticks) Although his work is primarily
done with animals this bacteria has been found in the brains of people also
who have CJD.
Epstein-Barr is a common place microbe. It cause
Mononucleosis . It has also been linked to Multiple Sclerosis as well as
to Cancer. They estimate that 83 percent of the children with MS have been
exposed to EBV. There is a good printable article on www.medcohealth.com
on Progressive Supra nuclear Palsy that you might want to read. Some of the
information coming out about Lyme Disease and the
spirochete" Borelia Burgdorfei"
shows that this disease can mimic a wide range of known disease including ALS,
Parkinson's,, M.S., Bell's Palsy and other autoimmune diseases. There is a 7
page article by a Dr. James Howenstine, that is quite informative located
on www.samento.com
site.
