"Selenosis can lead to neurological damage and in extreme cases result in lung disease, cirrhosis of the liver, and even death. DANGER SIGN Although very rare, garlic breath can be a dead giveaway of arsenic poisoning, especially if the person also complains of a metallic taste.This is a medical emergency. URINE- OR AMMONIA-SMELLING BREATH Breath that smells like pee or window cleaner is hard to ignore, at least by others. And that's a good thing. Urine- or ammonia-smelling breath can be a warning sign of kidney disease or even life-threatening chronic kidney failure." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan, Body Signs: From Warning Signs to False Alarms...How to Be Your Own Diagnostic Detective (Get the book.)

"The] only thing imaging can tell you is whether you have a brain tumor" or some other gross neurological damage, said Paul Root Wolpe of the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Bioethics.75 The unfortunate fact remains that the most accurate way of gauging the thoughts and feelings of others is simply by asking people what they are thinking and feeling." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"Men's precon-ceptual use of cocaine has been linked to cases of neurological damage in children. EXERCISE The appropriate take-home message on exercise during pregnancy is not that women should exercise during pregnancy but that they may. Too often, women have heard that maybe they should limit their exercise. It is not necessary to be so restrictive in exercise during pregnancy, although certain precautions should be observed. Despite conflicting opinions, information on exercise and pregnancy is plentiful, and its message is clear: low-impact, moderate exercise is safe during pregnancy." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"In any case, children and adults who ate fish from mercury-contaminated waters in Minamata Bay, Japan, in 1953, along the Agano River in Niigata, Japan, in 1962, and other locations in Iraq, Pakistan, and Guatemala, all have suffered death, coma, or a variety of brain and neurological damage. Researchers in Taiwan say they have established for the first time that the mercury compound present as a contaminant in some seafood can damage the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"It had intensified her neural inflammation, and had amplified the neurological damage that was being done by allergies, nutritional deficits, toxification, and hypoglycemia. When at last we got all those interrelated problems under control, Alisa's executive function had suddenly blossomed, and now she had powers of self-control and judgment that Liza had barely dared to dream possible. Alisa still had every bit of her charm, though, and all of her electric charisma. She had more friends than she could accommodate." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"If this happens to be the brain tissue, it causes neurological damage, including autism. In older people, such an accumulation of heavy metals in the brain can lead to damage of the DNA, Multiple Sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease. Mercury is already toxic at one in one billion-part quantities. That is about the same concentration of one grain of salt in one swimming pool. It is a well established fact that mercury and other heavy metals such as lead are linked with neurological disorders such as autism." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"If infants with specific metabolic, endocrine, and other disorders are identified by NBS in the first few days of life, the diagnostic process can be completed and treatment started before physical and neurological damage occurs. Many of the disorders screened by NBS programs are autosomal recessive. This means that each parent carries the affected gene and the incidence of an affected infant is 1 out of 4 for each pregnancy. Thus, affected infants identified by NBS usually do not have a positive family history of the disorder." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"Ron also suffered permanent neurological damage that affected his peripheral nervous system. In his case it manifested as a partial loss of hand-eye coordination. This deficit was especially noticeable to Ron because of his profession. As a result of the loss of hand-eye coordination, when Ron regained his dental license he was no longer able to carry out complex dental procedures and had to limit his practice. As an ethical professional, he imposed the limits on himself." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"Mercury is known to retard brain development in children and can cause neurological damage in adults who experience high or long-term exposure. As a result, many toxicologists recommend avoiding contact with mercury, at any level, whenever possible. Even from small doses, mercury accumulates in the human body over time. Even mercury fumes that collect in jars of skin cream or in tubes of mascara, and are inhaled when the containers are opened, add to the cumulative body burden. Placing mercury directly on exposed skin, as with eyeliners and skin creams, heightens the absorption." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.) "And at least one variety of nanoparticles used as penetration enhancers in sunscreens has the potential to cause neurological damage to humans, according to the results of a study in 2006 by a research laboratory at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. While examining the effects of nanoparticles of titanium oxide on cultures of mice cells called microglia, which protect brain neurons, researchers found that the particles provoked these cells to go into dangerous overdrive, producing free radicals in an attempt to destroy the invading nanoparticles." - Samuel S.

"But they can cause feelings of helplessness, the deterioration of the mind, neurological damage, dementia, trembling, and twitching, and can impair organs. Breggin: "Almost any organ can be adversely affected by neuroleptics: eyes, nose, and throat; internal organs, such as the liver, stomach, intestines, cardiovascular system and sexual organs; the skin; and of course, the brain." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"Due to the selenium content in Astragalus, toxic doses may result in neurological damage leading to paralysis. dosage How Supplied: Capsule-200 mg, 250 mg, 400 mg, 450 mg, 470 mg, 500 mg, 520 mg Liquid Tea Bags Daily Dosage: The dried root is administered as 2-6 g daily, and the fluid extract as 4 to 12 mL daily.

"Indeed, the first labotatory primate study of manganese-induced neurological damage was published in 1924, establishing one of the earliest experimental models of Parkinsonism.103 organic manganese Until the late 1980s, all of the world's scientific literature on manganese-caused Parkinsonism was limited to observations of the inorganic forms of the metal, simple oxides and salts that are processed and used rourinely in industrial applications. Then, in 1988, a disturbing study reported illness in agricultural workers exposed to a newly introduced chemical designed to kill fungus." - Paul D. Blanc, M.D., How Everyday Products Make People Sick: Toxins at Home and in the Workplace (Get the book.)

"Such levels could produce subtle neurological damage such as memory loss, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and tremors. Previous experience with mercury has already demonstrated that high mercury levels in the environment could produce widespread injury to humans, as well as to wildlife. For example, between the years 1932 and 1968 in Minamata Bay, Japan, the world witnessed one of the two largest outbreaks of mercury poisoning in history." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.) "A number of studies indicate that high levels of arachidonic acid worsen neurological damage during a stroke as with other cases of excitotoxic damage. This bad effect can be eliminated simply by taking 700 mg of N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) a day. NAC greatly increases cellular glutathione levels. Glutathione is one of the most important cell protection molecules against free radical attack and lipid peroxidation products. By decreasing the amount of N-6 fats you ingest, you can add even more protection." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"Asian Ginseng In animal studies, Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng) has been shown to prevent high blood sugar levels and neurological damage caused by lack of oxygen to the brain. It also has been shown to enhance exercise performance, learning, and memory. In one study on dogs (Kwon 2003), red ginseng significantly helped lower liver enzyme levels and regenerate liver tissue in animals that had hepatic surgery. Astragalus Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus) is used for elderly or debilitated pets and can be taken regularly." - David Winston, RH(AHG), and Steven Maimes, Adaptogens: Herbs for Strength, Stamina, and Stress Relief (Get the book.)

"Some foods that kids favor, such as peanut butter, raisins, and peaches, have among the highest levels of pesticide residue, and these pesticides can cause neurological damage in children. ¦ Organic foods taste better, thanks to the better-balanced soils in which they're grown. Organic farming is better for the environment because it protects water resources and the soil." - Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T.

"Wood, toys, electronics, pesticides and cosmetics are among US products that contain substances that are banned or restricted elsewhere, particularly in Europe and Japan, because they may raise the risk of cancer, alter hormones or cause reproductive or neurological damage.'"' Guided by the precautionary principle, the European Union is requiring manufacturers to eliminate toxins and take responsibility for the waste they create. In contrast, the United States is guided by a "prove harm" approach." - Stacy Malkan, Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry (Get the book.)

"Day after day, unsuspecting medicos would sit around the table eating apples and oranges and swilling down solutions of diet cola and aluminum, never even considering how rapidly aluminum was being absorbed into their bodies, and poured into their brains, setting the stage for serious neurological damage later in life. When you consider that, over the last two generations, consumption of beverages from aluminum cans and containers has begun at an increasingly early age, the average person will have absorbed enormous amounts of aluminum by the time he or she reaches age fifty." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"Reason: We all have brain reserves—"extra" neurons that give us the ability to maintain cognitive function after neurological damage. Those who lose some of their brain reserves early in life and then go on to develop Alzheimer's will experience mental impairment more rapidly than those who have not had previous injuries, and therefore, have greater brain reserves. What to do: Prevent strokes by keeping the cardiovascular system strong—do not smoke, manage blood pressure and cholesterol, and get regular exercise." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)

"Suskind also covered up the documented neurological damage from dioxin exposures. At Workers Compensation hearings, Suskind denied that the workers experienced any neurological health effects. In the Kemner, et al. V. Monsanto proceedings, however, it was revealed that Suskind had in his possession at the time examinations of the workers by Monsanto's physician, Dr. Nestman, documenting neurological health effects. Another Monsanto study involved independent medical examinations of surviving employees by Monsanto physicians." - Samuel S.

"One of the strongest job-related Parkinson's links is among professional boxers, for whom repeated blows to the head can lead to a form of diffuse neurological damage in which Parkinsonism is a predominant feature. Muhammad Ali is the most famous victim of this condition, known by the lofty diagnostic label of dementiapugilistica.87 Two other examples are also important, not because they are widespread, but because they show how insidious the chemical triggers of Parkinsonism can be." - Paul D.

"This potentially life-threatening condition, branched-chain ketoaciduria (often referred to as maple syrup urine disease because keto acids released into the urine cause it to smell like maple syrup) can result in neurological damage and necessitates a special diet, including a synthetic infant formula that does not contain leucine, isoleucine, or valine. There are approximately twenty-eight commonly known amino acids that are combined in various ways to create the hundreds of different types of proteins present in all living things." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.) "Some amino acids have potentially toxic effects when taken in high doses (over 6,000 milligrams per day) and may cause neurological damage. These include aspartic acid, glutamic acid, homocysteine, serine, and tryptophan. Cysteine can be toxic if taken in amounts over 1,000 milligrams per day. Do not give supplemental amino acids to a child, or take doses of any amino acid in excess of the amount recommended unless specifically directed to do so by your health care provider." - Phyllis A.

"It appears that neurological damage - in Daniel Tammet's case he suffered a major epileptic fit at the age of 3 - somehow blocks the normal pathways in the brain that tend, in most of us, to override these single-minded acts of genius. So what do these remarkable autistic savants add to our understanding of the human antenna? Their gifts are certainly not due to high IQs or expensive education." - Robin, Dr. Kelly, The Human Antenna: Reading the Language of the Universe in the Songs of Our Cells (Get the book.)

"Mercury exposure in pregnant women can cause neurological damage, such as lowered intelligence and delayed development in infants. In addition, the mortality rate for infants is significantly increased when mothers are exposed to mercury. Children who have severe mercury poisoning can experience acro-dynia, a syndrome characterized by peeling and pinkness of the skin on the hands, nose, and feet; blindness; increased heart rate; agitation; and pain in the arms and legs." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.)

"One in every six women of childbearing age has enough mercury in her bloodstream to cause neurological damage to her unborn children, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Is it mere coincidence that rates of autism increased when the Center for Disease Control inserted additions to the recommended vaccination program for infants in 1988? In the 1980s, autism rates were estimated at only six in 10,000 children. Today one in 150 children is autistic, though in some areas autism affects closer to one in 50 children.

"This may lead to the neurological damage that occurs as the disease advances. Q A decline in the sense of smell often occurs as much as two years prior to the beginning of mental decline in people with Alzheimer's. Scientists at the University of California-San Diego Medical Center found that people with Alzheimer's disease must be exposed to very strong concentrations of a substance before they can detect its odor. The rate at which the sense of smell is lost can predict how rapidly cognitive functioning is lost." - Phyllis A.
