Alzheimers Happening Earlier and Earlier: Better diagnosing or toxic vaccine build-up?

[Scattershoot]

Here's an article describing a man's life being drastically altered by alzheimers. He is in his forties like hundreds of thousands of others suffering from a disease that once only happened in the elderly. The argument is that there is better screening and diagnosing, so the problem really isn't exploding out of nowhere like many believe. Kind of like the argument about autism. There isn't more autism, we just notice it better now.

Here's the article:

I volunteered in the alzheimers wing of a hospital, so I saw the devastation of this on a lot of families. I find it interesting that you don't hear vaccines mentioned with alzheimers the way autism is getting linked. Reputable doctors/researchers have said for years that as vaccine numbers increase so does the risk of alzheimers. Mercury from the flu shot administered year after year can't be good for you. I wonder how many more adults in their prime will have to literally lose their minds before more people question the possible link.

Not to mention the Aluminum. I think its the aluminum that is causing the plaques in the brain.

[thatblondegirl]

wow. it's scary how much that makes sense. i have always only worried about my son, never about my father. how scary.

[Ophelia]

Yes, I wonder about the aluminum also. It's in our cookware, deodorant (or is it the anti-perspirent?), vaccines, environment...

Does the flu shot have aluminum?

It's just being better diagnosed, don't ya know

[Gitti]

Better diagnosis my foot!

imo - Aspartame is the main problem in this illness. Of course Aluminum is not exactly benficial.

It's in our cookware, deodorant (or is it the anti-perspirent?)

It's just in anti-perspirants, not deodorant. I know it's linked to breast cancer, so when my birth mother was diagnosed last year, I stopped using anti-perspirants & switched to deodorants, although I still double check to make sure they don't have aluminum whenever I buy them. I actually had to go to men's deodorants because there's pretty much none for women.

[nolonger]

Supposedly it runs in my family, but i am unconvinced that it isn't the use of anti-perspirant that is causing it and not a genetic malfunction.

My parents, who definitely have signs, are also big advocates of the flu vax and every vax under the sun.

My father started saying crazy mean things that i couldn't ignore in 2003, which would have meant he was in his late 60s. i consider that early. how horrifying to click on the link and find a story about someone TWO YEARS OLDER THAN MYSELF.

I love my human-smelling armpits and am going to make darned sure my late in life baby knows why!

Not to thread jack, but you can take chlorophyll as a supplement to stop body odor. It works better than any deodorant I have ever tried. I don't take it anymore because I can't afford it, but that stuff is amazing, and no aluminum or other nasty chemicals!

[DahliaRW]

I think 100% that it can be blamed on aluminum in vaxes and our diets (and environment). My dh's grandfather had alzheimers (he died before it got too bad) and he worked in the Alcoa plant most of his life.

[Ncheathen]

When they remove the plaques inside an Alziemers patients brain, there is aluminum in the middle of it. The body "walled it off." The brain is fatty tissue, and accumulates heavy metals.

Interesting, how does that work? I already have an aluminum-free, paraben-free, organic deodorant that I like, but I'm still stinky occasionally, LOL.

[vintagetroll]

I agree that alot of it is misdiagnosed, either being caused by vaccines, aspartame or alot of other scary things we all get exposed to. When I hear of people in their 40's and 50's getting it though I always immediatly think of Mad Cow disease. I think there are tons of that going on in this country that is not being reported. They don't want to autopsy for it because its near impossible to sterilize anything that has been exposed to the prions, so they call it alzheimers and call it a day.

[mamadelbosque]

I have no doubt that vaccines are contributing factor in alzheimers, just like I have no doubt that they are a contributing factor in autism. To say that vaccines CAUSE them... that may be a bit of a stretch. But to say that they are contributing? Absolutely. Along with all the other stuff others have mentioned - aluminum in our anti-persperants (use a natural deoderant instead), aluminum in our pots & pans, aspartame, etc. Our bodies could probably handle one of these things. But when they're all combined? At some point, our bodies just can't take it in the normal way - and thats when we get alzheimers/autism/adhd/dementia/etc

[cadydid]

I'm curious about the theory about Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (cattle get Mad Cow Disease, people don't). Where would they be getting it from? Mad Cow Disease, scrapie, etc. are all reportable. If there were this rash of animals entering our food system with these diseases, you're implying there's a major conspiracy of veterinarians. To what end, I'm not sure. The vet has no personal gain in passing an animal through inspection at slaughter.

Also, it'd be pretty clear at autopsy, unless you think pathologists are in on it, too.

Agreed.

I would have to say it does run in families. Let me say this:

My Dad died of Alzheimer's October 27th of last year. My Mom currently has Alzheimers.

On my Mom's side of the family I have lost 4 of my Mom's sisters with Alzheimers (My Grandma had 15 pregnancys and 12 lived to adulthood).

Only one Aunt currently living doesn't have it that we know of.

The weird thing is NONE of my Mom's brothers has it. None! Five boys out of the 12 children don't have it.

All kids were homebirthed except the last one (a boy) was born in a hospital (I think........)

My Mom's Parents - Grandpa died of multiple strokes and my Grandma lived to be 93 and was sharp as a tack up till the time she passed away.

On my Dad's side no one has Alzheimer's. My Grandparents died of other causes, two of my Dad's sisters have passed away but not from Alzheimers. One Aunt is still alive, but she is really a strange person and we don't deal with her anymore.

So I don't buy that Vax is the cause of it. Maybe a trigger? Maybe because we are living longer? Maybe because of better diagnosis?

One other thing. On my Mom's side of the family there is over 53 Grandkids and now great grandkids and great great grandkids. ALOT! That I know of no one else (and we are getting up there in age) has it.....yet.

This is a really sensitive, emotional subject for me. With both parents having it and one already gone, its hard. Also, knowing there is a strong possibility of me getting it.

[Scattershoot]

When I hear of people in their 40's and 50's getting it though I always immediatly think of Mad Cow disease.

This is the abnormal brain protein thing. It is very interesting for sure. I recall that high profile researcher Dr. Saitoh (or Satoh) was killed by what was called a very professional hit, along with his daughter. He was a rare expert in the field of abnormal brain proteins and specifically in the case of Alzheimers. It's unfortunate that so many talented researchers end up "mysteriously" dying, or we'd probably be a lot closer to figuring out what is actually going on.

Aspartame is the devil. It is flat out nasty. That stuff getting approval is all anyone needs to know in regards to the FDA really caring about consumers.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The government can prohibit meat packers from testing their animals for mad cow disease, a federal appeals court said Friday, overturning a lower court ruling that would have allowed such testing.

Because the Agriculture Department tests only a small percentage of cows for the deadly disease, Kansas meatpacker Creekstone Farms Premium Beef wanted to test all of its cows. The government said it could not.

Yea.. you tell me there is no conspiracy when the government is ORDERING companies NOT TO TEST for Mad Cow.

If their goal is purely evil or just greed I don't know.. but I do believe there is a conspiracy going on.

[cadydid]

Here's what I know:
1. I have a doctorate in veterinary medicine
2. I have a masters in public health
3. I practice small animal medicine, but I have friends and colleagues that are in large and mixed animal practices, plus several friends who are boarded veterinary pathologists
4. I live in a state with a lot of cattle ranching, which
5. happens to have an international border

For your conspiracy theory to be true, veterinarians everywhere would have to be seeing prion-caused diseases and ignoring it, either through incompetence or pure evil? All veterinarians who see livestock. All. Of. Them.

Then, let's say they recognized it but decided to ignore it, the vets then allow the animals to go to slaughter. Again, why?

Then the USDA would have to be allowing the diseased animals into the food supply. Slaughterhouses are supposed to have a DVM on every floor (last I checked they were still understaffed, but theoretically). So now all the slaughterhouse workers and USDA vets are in on this.

Then you have the MDs, again, all of them, that are misdiagnosing the disease in people. Incompetence? Evil?

And, finally, the pathologists that are apparently altering their findings in their autopsy reports. All of them.

You want to have a conspiracy theory, fine, but this doesn't make a bit of sense. The sheer number of people who would have to be involved makes this absurd.

What I do know for sure is that my large animal DVM friends are very aware of the dangers of diseases entering our food supply either by accident or an act of terrorism. Our food supply is woefully insecure. But I'm having a hard time that these same people, who are actively trying to get the government involved in PROTECTING the food supply, are then turning around and purposefully trying to sicken people.

The vast majority of people have no clue when they are a part of a problem.
Your friends do seem to realize that there is a big problem since they are trying to alert the gov.

Here is a headline just from today:


http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/...n4625730.shtml

It does make sense to me though that Alzheimers could be mad cow. Most Alzheimer's patients are not getting the brains cut apart and examined. Not even after death.

I wonder what would happen if they did?

As for mad cow in animals being slaughtered, well, if we don't look, we don't find. When in Japan they inspected EVERY cow before slaughter, we inspected one in what (?) thousands?
