11. Autonomic Nervous system
PNS (Rest Digest Repair) =
location: Cranial sacral
Function : Stimulates immune system,
repairs tissue
Increases: blood supply to gut, and all repair
mechanisms
SNS (Fight or Flight) =
Location : Thoracic and lumbar
Function: Keeps you alive under stress,
increases Heart rate, blood pressure, blood
sugar, LDL cholesterol, stress hormones
Decreases: blood supply to the gut, immune
system function

18. Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is damage or disease affecting
nerves, which may affect sensation, movement, gland or organ
function, and other aspects of health, depending on the type of
nerve affected.
Common causes include:
•Vaccinations
•Diabetes
•Leprosy
•Vitamin deficiency
•Medication
•Traumatic injury
•Excessive alcohol consumption
•Immune system disease
•Infection

Hyper-sensitization

23. Abstract
Opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH) ….
The state is characterized by a paradoxical response
whereby a patient receiving opioids for the treatment of
pain may actually become more sensitive to certain
painful stimuli. ……
Although the precise molecular mechanism is not yet
understood

Mechanisms and Clinical Considerations

industry was never made to do these studies by Health Canada. I’m not
sure which is scarier.”
 Similar adjuvants are used in the following vaccines, …: hepatitis A and

The list of drugs known to produce neuropathy side effects
includes:
Nearly 40 drugs are known to cause neuropathy. Always
consult a pharmacist or doctor if you suspect medication
side-effects.
•cardiac drugs for use against arrhythmias
•cancer drugs
•antibiotics and antivirals
•alcoholism treatment
•drugs to lower blood pressure
•psychiatric drug for bipolar disorder
•anti-seizure drug for epilepsy
•antirejection drug for transplants
•dermatitis treatment.

 Aspartame, is sold as NutraSweet and Equal

 Aspartame releases methyl alcohol, plus phenylalanine and
aspartic acid, both neurotoxins.
 The methyl alcohol breaks down into formaldehyde, then
formic acid.
Formaldehyde is included in many vaccines.
 The new study — linking formaldehyde with cancers of
the blood and lymphatic system. These cancers are far
more common, affecting nearly 140,000 Americans a
year.

Evidence Based vs
Observational

29. Parachute use to prevent death and major trauma related to
gravitational challenge: systematic review of randomized
controlled trials
BMJ 2003; 327
Objectives To determine whether parachutes are effective in
preventing major trauma related to gravitational challenge
Conclusions: As with many interventions intended to prevent
ill health, the effectiveness of parachutes has not been
subjected to rigorous evaluation by using randomized
controlled trials.
Advocates of evidence based medicine have criticized the
adoption of interventions evaluated by using only observational
data. We think that everyone might benefit if the most radical
protagonists of evidence based medicine organized and
participated in a double blind, randomized, placebo controlled,
crossover trial of the parachute.

36. MSG and Depression
Researchers have also discovered that most people with
major depressive disease (MDD) have higher levels of the
neurotransmitter glutamate in their spinal fluid (CSF) and
blood plasma.
This is the same glutamate found as a food additive-for
example, MSG (monosodium glutamate), hydrolyzed
proteins, calcium or sodium casienate, soy protein
isolate, vegetable protein concentrate or isolate, etc.
Free glutamate, that is, existing outside the neurons, is very
toxic to brain connections and brain cells themselves --
mainly by a process called excitotoxicity.

37. Vaccines, Depression and Neurodegeneration After Age 50:
Another Reason to Avoid the Recommended Vaccines.
By Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., CCN
40 million Americans suffer from major depressive disorder
anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder,
•chronic brain inflammation.
•MSG on your brain and mood
•connections between pesticides and neurological disorders
•vaccinations cause brain inflammation
•impact of an expanding vaccine schedule
Current recommendations by the CDC for adult
vaccinations include a total of 14 separate inoculations with
infectious agents and powerful immune adjuvants.

38. Vaccine-related brain injury
Vaccines are made of two components -- the agent you
wish to vaccinate against and an immune adjuvant.
These adjuvants are composed of such things as
aluminum compounds, MSG, lipid compounds and
even mercury.
Studies have shown that these adjuvants, from a single
vaccine, can cause immune overactivation
**No studies show the effects of the hyper-
sensatization of the immune system to yearly flu
shots from 6 months for life

39. Drugs acting on central nervous system
(CNS) targets as leads for non-CNS targets
Abstract
Innovative drug discovery approaches are currently needed
to rejuvenate the shrinking product pipelines of the
pharmaceutical companies across the globe.
Here a theme is presented – the use of central nervous
system (CNS) drugs as leads for non-CNS targets.
