Aluminum and the Mind 2003, 01/09 For all that we do not know about aluminum there is clear evidence it does effect or have effects on mental states, usually negative. For instance when Al replaces Mg in the Ca-Mg balance equation depression (negative) results. It can be assume then that Al disturbs mental balances as in mental states or chordal patterns resulting in inharmonic disturbances in those patterns. If balanced mental chordal (spectral) patterns is health then ill health may be expected from its reverse. If balanced mental spectral (signature) patterns do in fact harmonize etheric (mind stuff) flows and Al disturbs such harmonizing activities we can see perhaps why Al is to be avoided in and around etheric (prayer, dowsing, healing, SVP) type endeavors. Al would, in effect, be as a poison to such activities. Aluminum toxicity: Aluminum is not a heavy metal, but it can be toxic if present in excessive amounts. Even in small amounts, aluminum can be toxic if deposited in the brain. Many of the symptoms of aluminum toxicity are similar to those of Alzheimer's disease and osteoporosis. Aluminum toxicity can lead to colic, rickets, gastrointestinal disturbances, poor calcium metabolism, extreme nervousness, anemia, headaches, decreased liver and kidney function, forgetfulness, speech disturbances, memory loss, softening of the bones, and weak, aching muscles. Because aluminum is excreted through the kidneys, toxic amounts of aluminum may impair kidney function. The accumulation of aluminum salts in the brain has bee implicated in seizures and reduced mental faculties. To reach the brain, aluminum must pass the blood-brain barrier, an elaborate structure that filters the blood before it reaches this vital organ. Elemental aluminum does not readily pass through this barrier, but certain aluminum compounds, such as aluminum fluoride, do. Many municipal water supplies are treated with both alum (aluminum sulfate) and fluoride, and these two chemicals readily combine with each other in the blood. Moreover, aluminum fluoride, once formed, is very poorly excreted in the urine. Intestinal absorption of high levels of aluminum and silicon can result in the formation of compounds that accumulate in the cerebral cortex and prevent nerve impulses from being carried to and from the brain in the proper manner. Chronic calcium deficiency can aggravate the situation. People who have worked in aluminum smelting plants for long periods have been known to experience dizziness, impaired coordination, and a loss of balance and energy. The accumulation of aluminum in the brain has been cited as a possible cause for these symptoms. Perhaps the most alarming, there is evidence to suggest that long-term accumulation of aluminum in the brain may contribute to the development of Alzeimer's disease. http://www.moondragon.org/health/disorders/alumtox.html |
