KEY TOXINS FOUND IN CIGARETTE SMOKE AND THEIR KNOWN HEALTH EFFECTS –


http://www.town.tecumseh.on.ca/nosmoking/KeyToxins.pdf






Physiological Action. Tobacco is a very depressant nauseant, an emetic by systemic and irritant action, a sternutatory, diuretic, diaphoretic, cathartic, sedative, antispasmodic, and narcotic. It first stimulates and afterwards paralyzes the motor nerves of involuntary muscles, and the secreting nerves of the glands, also the spinal cord and the vagus; at first stimulating both the vagus-roots and its ends in the heart (slowing the pulse-rate), but afterwards paralyzing the latter (causing high pulse-rate). It produces increased salivary and intestinal secretions, diuresis, tremor, clonic spasms, and a tetanic stage previous to its paresis. It contracts the pupils, slows and depresses the heart, first lowers and then raises the arterial tension, and reduces the body temperature; causes profuse sweating, cold and clammy skin, collapse, and death usually by paralysis of respiration, sometimes by paralysis of the heart. It does not impair the muscular irritability, nor does it act on the cerebrum directly. The empyreumatic products of Tobacco are similar in action but less powerful. Fatal results have followed the inhalation of the vapor.






The continued use of Tobacco by smoking or chewing to excess produces granular inflammation of the fauces and pharynx, atrophy of the retina, dyspepsia, lowered sexual power, sudden faints, nervous depression, cardiac irritability and occasionally angina pectoris. Used by the young it hinders the development of the higher nervous centres, and impairs the nutrition of the body by interfering with the processes of digestion and assimilation.






Nicotine is almost as rapidly fatal as Prussic Acid, death having occurred from a toxic dose in three minutes, with no symptoms except a wild stare and a deep sigh -

SMOKING/BACK PROBLEMS
Smoking increases one's risk of suffering from back disorders, according to a study from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the Valley Medical Center in Fresno, California. Tobacco use seems to weaken the bones and slow production of new bone cells. Smoking also hinders the blood supply to the bones or interferes with the function of osteoblasts. (Neurosurgery 41(1)116-124, 1997)

SMOKING/THYROID
Heavy smokers have been shown to have substantial decreases in two thyroid hormones, T-3 (triiodothyronine) and T-4 (serum thyroxine). Several constituents of cigarette smoke are known to have antithyroid activity. Thyroid hormone level changes may have a profound effect on overall metabolism, as well as androgenic and estrogenic steroid activity. Light and moderate smokers demonstrated a milder decrease in thyroid hormone levels. (Archives of Internal Medicine 144:501-503, March, 1984)

LEUKEMIA/SMOKING
Leukemia rates in smokers are higher than in non-smokers. As the number of cigarettes smoked daily increases, so does the leukemia incidence. The authors of this study feel that smoking may be responsible for most cases of leukemia in adults. Passive smokers (those who are exposed to other people's cigarette smoke) are also at increased leukemia risk. (British Medical Journal 297:657-659, 1988)






LIFESTYLE/IMMUNE SYSTEM
A healthy lifestyle enhances the production of lymphokine- activated killer (LAK) cells, a group of lymphocytes which appear to assist the body in fighting cancer. Smoking produced a marked decrease in the production of LAK cells, while exercise increased them. In general, the more good health practices the person had the higher their LAK cell levels. (Preventive Medicine 25:717-724, 1996)






BREAST CANCER/CIGARETTE SMOKING
Smoking may increase the risk of breast cancer, particularly in women who have not yet entered menopause. (Archives of Internal Medicine 148:140-144, January, 1988)






TOBACCO/OBESITY/BREAST CANCER SPREAD
Women who use tobacco or are overweight are more likely to have early spread of breast cancer according to a University of California at Davis study. Habitual smokers were more likely to have lymph node involvement at the time of diagnosis of the disease. (Cancer 62:429-435, 1988)






SMOKING/COLON TUMORS
Cigarette smoking appears to increase the risk of colonic adenomas. (Gastroenterology 90(5 pt 2)1492, May 1986) These growths are considered to be precancerous.






SMOKING/CANCER OF THE CERVIX
Cigarette smoking is significantly associated with cancer of the cervix. The risk of cervical cancer increases as the number of cigarettes smoked daily increases. The risk may be greatest in those who began smoking early in their teens. (Journal of the American Medical Association 250(4)499-502, 1983)






SMOKING/CERVICAL CANCER
Dr. E. R. Greenberg of the Norris Cotton Cancer Center reports that heavy smokers have at least a two-fold increase in the risk of cervical cancer. (British Journal of Cancer 51:139-41, 1985)






COFFEE/SMOKING/PANCREATIC CANCER
Individuals who smoke and drink coffee are at increased risk of developing pancreatic cancer according to a California study. Previous studies have shown a relationship between coffee intake and pancreatic cancer, but apparently smoking elevates the risk even more. (Western Journal of Medicine 148:48-53, January 1988)






CANCER OF RENAL PELVIS/SMOKING
Smoking is the major cause of cancer of the renal pelvis. This type of cancer accounts for approximately 10% of kidney cancers in the United States. Those who stop smoking reduce their risk. Persons who use pain medications containing acetaminophen or phenacetin on a regular basis for periods of three or more years have an almost fourfold increase in risk. Estrogen medications (for birth control or menopausal symptoms) and excessive tea use (perhaps three or more cups per day) also increase the risk. (Journal of the National Cancer Institute 71(2)287-291, August 1983)






PELVIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASE/SMOKING
Pelvic inflammatory disease is more common in smokers than non- smokers, and more frequent in women who have had children. Low- income women are also at increased risk of pelvic inflammatory disease. (Clinical and Investigative Medicine 13(3 Suppl)B35, August 1990)

SMOKING/PHENACETIN/CANCER OF THE URETER/CANCER OF THE RENAL PELVIS
Smoking increases the risk of cancer of the ureter, and pain medications containing phenacetin increase the risk of cancer of the renal pelvis, according to a study published in the Journal of Urology. (Journal of Urology 130(1)28-30, 1983)

Smoking Causes Genetic Damage Linked to Colon Cancer - http://www.cancer.org/docroot/NWS/content/NWS_1_1x_Smoking_Causes_Genetic_Damage_Linked_to_Colon_Cancer.asp






CIGARETTE SMOKING/BLADDER CANCER
A positive, consistent correlation between cigarette smoking and cancer of the lower urinary tract has been demonstrated. Comparison of a group of 470 smokers and 500 similar non-smoking controls demonstrated a higher cancer rate in the smokers. There was also a correlation of increased cancer in heavy smokers and those who inhaled cigarette smoke. (New England Journal of Medicine 284(3)129-134, January 21, 1971)






SMOKING/COFFEE/BLADDER CANCER
A strong association between smoking and bladder cancer risk was demonstrated in a West German study. Those who began smoking before 15 years of age are at greatest risk. Coffee drinking on a regular basis also increases the risk (one cup a day increases the risk by three times -- yes, decaffeinated also). (American Journal of Epidemiology 122(3)524, September 1985)






SMOKING/OVARIAN CYSTS
Cigarette smoking increases the rate of ovarian cysts in women, and apparently induces these changes at an age earlier than might be expected. (International Journal of Fertility 33(6)398-404, 1988)

SMOKING/SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE
While not the only factor in subarachnoid hemorrhage, smoking has been demonstrated to increase the risk factor by 3:9 for men and 3:7 for women. (British Medical Journal 1:577-578, March 3, 1979)










SMOKING/THINKING
Smokers are less able to perform complex mental tasks than non- smokers. Smoking seems to damage the memory and limit one's ability to remember previous experiences. This may mean that smokers are less able to handle emergencies such as a car skidding on a wet road or after a tire blowout. (Science News 143:46-47, January 16, 1993)






SMOKING/BRAIN BLOOD FLOW
Cessation of smoking has been shown to increase blood flow to brain. Over 250 volunteers participated in a study in Houston, which revealed that even those who had smoked for 30 to 40 years demonstrated brain blood flow increases which were considered significant. Subjects in the study who had smoked in the past had less brain blood flow than subjects who had never smoked, but more than current smokers. (Geriatrics 40(8)21, August, 1985)






SMOKING MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR MEMORY . Recent research performed at the University of California (Los Angeles) shows that subjects who smoked nicotine-free cigarettes scored "substantially higher" in a word recall test than did those who smoked brands containing 1.5 milligrams of the drug. - http://www.motherearthnews.com/library/1978_November_December/Bits_and_Pieces

CATARACTS LINKED TO SMOKING


People who smoke have a higher incidence of cataracts than those who do not; quitting smoking reduces this risk by limiting total dose-related damage to the lens.


Reference:


JAMA. 284(6):713-716. 2000.






SMOKING/STROKE
A New Zealand study reveals that smoking may cause more strokes than high blood pressure, which is commonly known to predispose to stroke. Smokers have a threefold increase in risk when compared to non-smokers with normal blood pressure levels. As the number of cigarettes smoked increases so does the risk of stroke. (British Medical Journal 293:831-837, June, 1986)






SMOKING/URINARY INCONTINENCE
Women smokers are at greater risk of developing stress urinary incontinence or motor urinary incontinence than are non-smokers. (American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology 167:1213-1218, 1992)






TOBACCO USE/PROSTATE CANCER
Men who use tobacco in any form are at increased risk of developing prostate cancer. (American Journal of Epidemiology 133(5)437-441, 1991)

RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME/SMOKING
Restless leg syndrome is poorly understood and has been attributed to a number of factors. A Canadian physician reports that a 70-year-old lady was cured of her symptoms about a month after she stopped smoking. (Canadian Medical Association Journal 133:426-427, September 1, 1985)






INTERMITTENT CLAUDICATION RISK FACTORS
A new report from the ongoing Framingham study reveals that intermittent claudication (pain in the legs, often brought on by walking) rises with age until about 75 years of age. Cigarette smoking approximately doubles the risk of intermittent claudication. It was found that impaired glucose tolerance increased the risk, and that hypertension (high blood pressure) increased the risk 2.5 to 4-fold. A low vital capacity (inability to take large amounts of air into the lungs)was also a risk. (Journal of the American Geriatric Society 33:13-18, 1985) Exercise will improve glucose tolerance, reduce high blood pressure, and increase vital capacity, thus decreasing the risk of intermittent claudication.










PASSIVE SMOKING/HEART DISEASE
More people die of smoking related heart disease than lung cancer. A ten-year study done in California revealed that wives of current or former smokers had a higher death rate from heart disease than did women whose husbands did not smoke. (American Journal of Epidemiology 121:645-50, 1985) Tobacco continues to be the number one health hazard in the United States, causing or making worse a host of diseases.






PASSIVE SMOKING/MENOPAUSE
Previous studies have revealed that smokers have earlier menopause than do non-smokers. Now a study shows that women who are exposed to the cigarette smoke of others may also undergo early menopause. (British Medical Journal 293:792, September 27, 1986)






CIGARETTE SMOKE/NON-SMOKERS
A decrease in the small airways airflow of nonsmokers subjected to cigarette smoke at work has been shown in studies at the University of California, San Diego, La Jolla. The study demonstrated that forced mid-expiratory flow among passive smokers (those exposed to others' smoke, but who do not themselves smoke) was comparable to flows measured in persons who smoked 1-10 cigarettes daily.
Reduced lung function has also been demonstrated in children whose parents smoke. Children in the 5-9 year old group who had two smoking parents had lower forced midexpiratory flow rates than children with only one smoking parent, and children with nonsmoking parents had the highest scores. (Family Practice News, September 15, 1980, p. 3, 40)






CERVICAL CANCER/SMOKING/PASSIVE SMOKING
Smokers are at increased risk of developing cervical cancer. Cervical cancer risk is also increased by passive smoke (inhaling the smoke of other smokers). (Journal of the American Medical Association 261(11)1593, March 17, 1989)






PASSIVE SMOKING/LUNG CANCER
A Japanese study reveals that non-smoking women whose husbands smoke are at a 50 percent increased risk of developing lung cancer. (Cancer Research 46:4804-4807, September 1986)






Second-hand smoke and lung cancer


A recent study demonstrated that non-smokers exposed to side-stream cigarette smoke take up and metabolize the carcinogens capable of causing lung cancer.


Reference:


New England Journal of Medicine, November 18, 1993: 1543






SMOKING HUSBANDS/CANCER IN WIVES
Non-smoking women exposed to their husband's cigarette smoke have a much higher incidence of lung cancer than non-smoking women married to non-smoking men. The risk of non-smoking wives was one- half to one-third that of women who smoke. The risk of lung cancer in women whose husbands smoked two or more packs a day was 2.08 times higher than those with non-smoking husbands, while those whose husband smoked 1-9 cigarettes daily had a risk 1.6 times greater than non-smokers. A study of 346 women who died of lung cancer over a 14 year period revealed an annual lung cancer death rate of 8.7 per 100,000 when the husband smoked only occasionally or not at all, 14 per 100,000 when they were ex-smokers or used less than 20 cigarettes daily, and 18.1 per 100,000 when the husbands smoked 20 or more cigarettes daily. (Medical World News, February 16, 1981, page 17, 19; Science News 119(4)53, January 24, 1981; Physician's Washington Report 3(8)5, February 1981)






PASSIVE SMOKING/BREAST CANCER
Dr. Wesley Horton, of the Oregon Health Sciences University, states that indoor cigarette smoke pollution is a major cause of breast cancer. Previous studies have shown no relationship between smoking and breast cancer, but these studies did not take "passive" or "sidestream" smoke into consideration. International mortality studies demonstrate a positive relationship between lung cancer in men and breast cancer in women, suggesting that a husband's smoking habit may induce breast cancer in his wife. Exposure longer than 20 years may be required for the woman to manifest the disease process. (Cancer 62:6-14, 1988)






PASSIVE SMOKING/LUNG FUNCTION
Non-smokers who are exposed to cigarette smoke suffer reduced lung function. (Thorax 45:27-31, 1990)






VITAMIN C LOSS WITH SECOND-HAND SMOKE


A study comparing people exposed to more than 20 hours per week of second-hand smoke compared to those not exposed showed that those exposed, even though having a similar diet to the non-exposed group, suffered low blood levels of vitamin C — and in some cases alarmingly low levels. Vitamin C is an antioxidant capable of neutralizing free radicals that lie at the root of a variety of diseases such as cancer and heart disease. Thus low blood levels of vitamin C will increase the susceptibility to these diseases.11


Reference: Journal of Investigative Dermatology, January ,1994






PASSIVE SMOKING/INFANT COLIC
Only 32 percent of infants with non-smoking parents suffered colic after meals, while 91 percent of infants in homes where the father smoked 20 or more cigarettes per day suffered colic. As the parent's smoking habits increased, so did the rate of colic in infants. (British Medical Journal 289:660, September 1984)






PASSIVE SMOKING/CHRONIC MIDDLE EAR EFFUSION
Children of parents who smoke are more likely to suffer from chronic middle ear effusion than are children not exposed to cigarette smoke. Children who suffer from repeated or persistent middle ear problems often undergo surgery in an attempt to correct the problem.
Increased rates of bronchitis, bronchiolitis and pneumonia are also seen in children who are exposed to passive smoking. These children suffer changes in their pulmonary function which may predispose to later respiratory problems. (Infectious Diseases in Children 1(1)5, January 1988)

PASSIVE SMOKING/SUDDEN INFANT DEATH SYNDROME (SIDS)
Passive smoking (exposure to cigarette smoke) apparently increases the risk of SIDS. A Seattle study revealed that 61% of SIDS mothers smoked both during pregnancy and after delivery, compared to 42% of non-SIDS mothers. SIDS mothers also smoked a significantly greater number of cigarettes. A 1967 study revealed that 68.2% of SIDS mothers smoked, while only 39.5% of mothers with live control infants smoked. (Pediatrics 58(5)665-668, 1976)

Cigarette Smoking During Pregnancy –


http://www.chem-tox.com/pregnancy/smoking.htm






SMOKING/BREASTFEEDING
Mothers who smoke while breastfeeding risk exposing their infants to insecticides which are applied to the tobacco plants. (Mayo Clinic Proceedings 59:759-765, November 1984) ED- Infants whose mothers smoked during pregnancy are at twice the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) than those of non-smoking mothers.






SMOKING AND CHILDREN'S IQ


Cigarette smoke contains an estimated 2,000-4,000 different chemicals, some of which certainly have the potential to damage developing fetal cells. A researcher in Canada has shown that women who smoked during pregnancy could cause hearing problems in their children. Another report has shown that IQ scores in 3 to 4 year olds from mothers who smoked 10 or more cigarettes daily, were on average 9 points lower than for children from nonsmoking mothers.


In microcosm, a mother with an unborn child is like the Earth and us. What the mother does to her body affects the environment within which the child develops. The more this environment is destroyed, imbalanced and toxified, the less likely the child is to be healthy or develop full potential. Similarly, the more the Earth is imbalanced and toxified, the less we can expect health and the development of our full potential.


Fouling a mother’s body or fouling the Earth makes about as much sense as sawing through the limb you are sitting on.

LOW NICOTINE CIGARETTES
Smokers have been urged to switch to low-nicotine cigarettes to reduce their risk of lung cancer. A recent study reveals that the tar and nicotine levels reported by the Federal Trade Commission are misleading. The machines used to test the cigarettes do not smoke the way humans do. Furthermore, smokers, perhaps unconsciously, alter their smoking habits to maintain their nicotine level intake levels. They often smoke more cigarettes, and inhale more deeply. The study of 15 brands of cigarettes revealed that "low-nicotine" cigarettes do not contain less nicotine. The nicotine levels in the tobacco actually correlated inversely with the nicotine concentrations reported by the FTC method! Blood nicotine levels correlated with the number of cigarettes smoked daily, but not with the machine-measured nicotine levels. The authors conclude that smoking "low-nicotine" cigarettes does not decrease nicotine consumption. (New England Journal of Medicine 309:139-142, 1983)






NICOTINE GUM/HEART DISEASE
While nicotine gum may help a person stop smoking, its long-term use may increase one's risk of heart disease. Nicotine gum may produce hyperinsulinemia (abnormally high levels of insulin production) and insulin resistance. (Circulation 94:878-881, 1996)






COFFEE/CIGARETTE SMOKING
If you are trying to stop smoking you should also eliminate the use of coffee according to a study from the Division of Clinical Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics at San Francisco General Hospital Medical Center. A number of previous studies have shown a strong correlation between the two habits. (Pharmacology, Biochemistry and Behavior 34:565-570, 1989)






FEWER CIGARETTES/TOXIN EXPOSURE
Many smokers, unable to stop smoking, attempt to reduce the number of cigarettes smoked. A recent study reveals that people who attempt this often unknowingly take in more smoke from each cigarette, which raises toxin exposure. (New England Journal of Medicine 315(21)1310-1313, November 20, 1986

And there are people out there who propagate this garbage. As with all these modern memes, it couldn’t be further from the Truth and as always just more inverted Truth. The healthiest of races are the purest of races. This is a given. Mixed race children apparently are not able to receive organ donations. Why all of a sudden would genetics suddenly change in cultures? If races have bred amongst their own for thousands of years; why now is this seemed unhealthy? A jewish propagandised narrative perhaps – just more jewish mind control to guilt Europeans into accepting their white genocide."

Re: Rasemiks og helse

Dette er udokumentert sludder som har bakgrunn i religiøse/elite rasehygieneteorier. Enhver person som næres skikkelig er friskere, sterkere og mer vital enn hvem som helst, uansett rase eller blandingsrase.

Og det er ellers ingen logiske eller vitenskapelige argumenter mot at "rasemiks" gir svekkelse av noe som helst slag. Og moderne epigenetikk motbeviser uansett dette fullstendig, all den tid alle gener tilpasser seg næringstilgang og miljø hele tiden.

I cannot believe how sharp my hearing and eyesight have become and my wife no longer needs her glasses to read! Apparently her hearing has not improved as she still doesn't listen to anything I say...

There are so many benefits and reasons to have this treatment it can seem unreal when someone speaks about it. Any skepticism I held before hand has been put to rest.

Personally I have experienced the following;


Neck Pain - gone


Back pain, around the spine - 60% better


Back pain, muscular, old injuries etc - 60% better


Increased range of movement in my neck


Joint pain - gone! Feels like all my joints have been oiled!


Morning headaches, completely gone


Improved vision


Pain behind right eye - gone


Waking up much earlier and feeling much more refreshed.


Feeling happier! I feel fantastic physicaly and emotionaly!


Less stress and much better stress management, this feels fantastic


improved digestion and much better bowel movements


Better breathing, through better posture my organs have more space!

There are other things but these are certainley the major benefits I have experienced so far. I am also aware of old injuries as a dull ache while they're healing, this is nothing compared to how uncomfortable I can be simply sitting down or trying to get to sleep. I have slept like a baby since I have had this treatment!

I am an athlete and I will be returning to training tomorrow after a short break due to illness (that has cleared up since having the treatment) and I cannot wait to see and feel the changes in my workouts
Oppdatering ovenstående post -


Neck Pain - gone still gone!


Back pain, around the spine - 60% better 80% better


Back pain, muscular, old injuries etc - 60% better all but the most stubborn (and recent) injuries seem to have completely healed, any remaining pains are nearly gone too (this includes torn muscles and a dislocated shoulder)


Increased range of movement in my neck when i talk to people about the atlasprofilax treatment i just show them how far i can turn my head without moving my body. i have a strong neck through my martiala rts training but it remains soft to the touch, not tight like yours maybe now


Joint pain - gone! Feels like all my joints have been oiled! still gone! wooohooo!


Morning headaches, completely gone its been so long since ive woken up to a headache id forgotten how chronic they were


Improved vision im still yet to take an eye test but to me my vision seems perfect


Pain behind right eye - gone another old pain id forgotten, so glad its gone!


Waking up much earlier and feeling much more refreshed. still true, i always get good quality sleep now


Feeling happier! I feel fantastic physicaly and emotionaly! i am free is how i describe how i feel now


Less stress and much better stress management, this feels fantasticguilty as charged!


improved digestion and much better bowel movements before the treatment i was in the middle of going from one doctor to another while they guessed at what was causing my painful cramps, unexpectedly after the treatment i was fine though and i have had no problems since


Better breathing, through better posture my organs have more space!i always feel like im getting a great breath of air, this is especially helpful when working out / competing

I went there yesterday. The realignment was really easy and smooth.

What I noticed right away was that more energy was circulating in the body. I could feel it starting at the feet and then rising. This was when I was still sitting. When I got up and walked a few paces I could feel that my whole posture had changed. I don't know how to describe it adequately but it was as if my body had been searching for this posture all its life and now it was there! It felt really really good.
I got very tired afterwards an light in my head so I went to sleep for a while. The rest of the day was just fine.

This morning I woke up feeling really happy and joyful. Happy to be alive and greet another day. (I haven't felt like that for a long time....)

My posture has been bad all my life, it will take some time for the rest of the body to re-align to this new atlas-postion but I have very good feeling about this. I'll keep you posted on further effects...

I am really happy I did this

Had my Atlas corrected just before the New Year! Noticed a difference
as soon as I got into my car ... I naturally wanted to keep my head up,
instead of slouching, whilst sitting.
madgoone


Had it done !I warned Marie beforehand that i had a tough neck also i had a nasty neck strain from a couple of days earlier.After i had it done i could not speak properly for a while and then i was overcome with a big grin/smile that i could not get rid of till i got outside cause it was a cold and raining and i had a 4 mile bike ride.First thing i noticed almosted straight away was my feet felt firmly planted on the ground and a l had a light headed feeling,riding home i noticed my left leg was stronger than normal(i was used right leg for speed increase while on bike)i could also see way better looking behind at traffic.As other people have said my posture has improved and have felt my shoulders readjust themselves(no more slouching).My neck is still sore from where the probe was used but i expected this add to that i feel like i have more get up an go,im giving myself a rest before before i get back to bench press etc.In all im happy i had it done and look forward to future improvements also my neck strain has improved.

I had my Atlas correction earlier today and I can't believe how I feel!!!

I'm so happy that I've done this! Thanks to exclamatio for all your good information on this thread and a friend who did a dowsing for me and gave me the last 'push' I needed to go for it.

Immediately after the correction I felt different; lighter, my posture improved that second, I felt as if I was going to fall backwards not being used to walking like this and most of all, my longs felt so big and filled with 'fresh mountain air' (strange for Amsterdam, hehe) and my lunch tasted much better! I could actually chew much better as well!! (since I had a problem with my jaw)

And I could feel the energy flowing through me much stronger than before! (I'm an energy healer)

I'm looking forward to all the improvements, especially the spiritual one. My practitioner Felix told me that all animals have a dislocated Atlas as well
and we had a great talk about how a corrected Atlas is the step to open you up spiritually.

Much love
Mila

I just had my atlas realigned 6 days ago. I also notice better balance and I just got my hair cut today and my stylist noticed I was sitting taller. My upper neck still feels tight. I had a massage a few days after. The tightness does seem to get a little better each day. I will have a recheck in August.






joseph walker1 year ago


Thank you very much. I actualy just got my atlas ajusted today. I feel a great deal better. Im shocked that my leg length got fixed by something up in my neck. When they did it I could literally feel my head and upper body get pulled back into its upright position. And my neck and back muscles that were sooooo tight just felt like they were released
















“Jeg har vært sykemeldt siden januar og hadde veldig vondt i musklene i overkroppen. Fysioterapeuten hadde gitt meg helt opp etter 11 behandlinger. Så han skjønte ingenting da jeg kom til han dagen etter atlaskorrigeringen og var helt frisk. Alle smerter borte! Bekkenet var rett, ryggen og nakken var rett. Ingen smerter, og jeg har nå sluttet med fysioterapi. Tusen takk!


Legen min hadde hørt om “mirakeldamen i Moss”, men han tror ikke på det, så han sykemeldte meg ut mai.”






Hei :) Jeg har etter behandling mange forandringer i kroppen. Jeg ble rett i kroppen, alle smertene som har hemmet meg kraftig i hverdagen er borte, anspentheten i nakke og skuldre er nesten borte, hodepine borte, jeg klarer å sove hele natten uten å våkne av smerter, jeg har en lett og ledig følelse i kroppen, jeg klarer å knyte skoa uten å sette meg, jeg klarer å snu hodet uten å få låsninger i nakke eller rygg, synet mitt er forandret som om brillene plutselig er for sterke, slet med mye vann i kroppen som også ble borte, jeg har fått mye mere energi!!! :) Tusen takk for hjelpen. :)”






“En uke siden behandlingen. Føler meg lett i kroppen og full av energi. Kjennes ut som jeg har 7 sommere og 7 vintere inni meg som vil ut.. er like lett til vanns som til lands. Vært hos legen min nå.. og han skjønte ingenting. Dette er eventyrlig..håper det varer.






Tusen takk. Linn.”










“Jeg var stiv, svimmel, hadde besvimelser etter trening og anstrengelser, vanskelig for å vri hodet, og problemer med balanse. Smerter hele tiden. Hadde også mistet sertifikat etter bilulykke forårsaket pga.besvimelse. Etter behandlingen var det som å slå av en bryter med smerte og slå på en for et bedre liv. Humøret og psyken ble bedre. Litt støl i tre-fire dager så kom en sterk forkjølelse.
Nå kan jeg trene, stå på stige og jobbe. Jeg kan gjøre mange bevegelser med ryggen og nakken som jeg ikke har kunnet før. Kroppen fungerer bedre også og min livssituasjon er forandret til det bedre.


VIL LEGENE TRO MEG?? Nei. Det gjorde de dessverre ikke. Ble nektet ny nevrologisk undersøkelse og legene sa at dette var bare tull. Det var ikke grunnlag for ny vurdering!”Kåre










Jeg har fått en behandling for atlasbenet etter at jeg leste om Atlas Profilax her. Tror det er bare 1 i hele Norge som gjør dette foreløpig. (Jeg ga opp å få tak i Pearsall..)

Jeg vet ikke om denne behandlingen kan gjøre noe for selv ME'en, men den hjalp ryggen og hoftene mine enormt. For 2,5 års tok jeg en veldig kollbøtte i skogen og etter dette ble hoften verre og verre og jeg har vært veldig plaget. Dagen etter behandlingen av atlasbenet kan jeg faktisk gå normalt igjen og nesten all smerte er helt borte. Det lille som er igjen, tror jeg er kun musklene som har begynt å "leve" igjen.

Hun som har utdannet seg til dette virker veldig seriøs. Behandlingen koster ca. 1500,- og dette inkluderer en massasjetime for rygg og nakke noen dager etter behandlingen.
Navn og adresse finner dere under http://www.atlasprofilax.ch/
Jeg vil tro at det bare er positivt å få rettet opp evt. skjevheter eller skader som berører rygg, nakke eller hofte og dette er viktig for dere med ME også.






Hei

Jeg ser i ettertid at det kanskje ikke kommer helt klart fram at jeg ikke har ME. Jeg står ved at denne behandlingen var veldig virkningsfull for meg, men om den hjelper direkte for ME vet jeg ikke. Nå er det snart 5mnd siden behandlingen og jeg er 99% bra i hoften.

Synes forøvrig at det virker logisk at hvis mange nervetråder er kommet i klem fordi atlasbenet ligger skjevt, så må det være sunt å få rettet opp dette - helt uavhengig ME eller ikke.


Mor L










Har forsøkt behandlingen. Merker stor forskjell i musklatur, det ble også bekreftet av fysioterapeuten jeg bruker. Selve behandlingen var veldig udramatisk, synes jeg. Har brukt både kiropraktor og osteopat og har vært vant med at det skulle knekkes. Lite ubehag i forhold.
Jeg har vært øm etter behandlingen, i det som må være ytterpunktene av atlasen, går ut fra at det er er muskler og sener som må venne seg til den nye posisjonen.


Har hatt "kink i ryggen" etter behandlingen. Det har gått over raskt.


Har også opplevd å være støl i rygg og nakke, stølhet er noe jeg ikke har opplevd på mange år, tiltross for trening.



Har også økt søvnbehov, sover natten gjennom, og dupper av hver gang jeg legger meg nedpå.

Tror det kroppen sliter med nå, er å komme tilbake i en posisjon uten masse låsninger som en feilstilt atlas kan føre til. Og er forberedt på litt "rare vondter" en stund tilSmilla

Jeg var hos en Atlas Profilx-behandler i går, og tenkte å komme med en liten første-rapport, selv om det nok er litt tidlig å si så mye.

Selve behandlingen/korreksjonen var fort gjort og ikke direkte vond, om enn nokså ubehagelig. Kort fortalt er det en "maskin" (den ser ut som en mellomting mellom en krølltang og en skotørker), hvor tuppen brukes til å løse opp muskelatur. Tuppen stikkes bort i et lite punkt på hver side av nakken etter tur, der den "vibrerer" i noen sekunder. Og så er atlasbenet på plass!

For de som er bekymret for vibrering: Jeg er vanligvis veldig sensitiv på vibrering og må f.eks. holde meg laaaaangt unna elektriske tannbørster for ikke å bli syk. Så jeg var veldig skeptisk på denne vibreringa, men den gjorde meg ingenting. Men det kan jo hende at andre reagerer på det likevel. Med en gang atlasbenet var på plass fikk jeg mye bedre siderotasjon på hodet, og jeg føler at jeg kan se rett bakover! Det var i tillegg noe som føltes "annerledes" oppe i nakken, uten at jeg greide å si om det var negativt eller positivt.

I bilen, etter kanskje en halvtimes tid, begynte jeg å kjenne at muskelaturen nedover nakken og ryggen ble løsere (og kona kjente det også tydelig ved berøring), og utover dagen spredte det seg ned til korsrygg og hofter, framover på brystet og ut i overarmene. Jeg hadde minimalt med smerter, og kona kommenterte (to-tre timer etter behandlingen) at jeg gikk annerledes; rettere på en måte og uten at føttne mine sklir innover, slik de pleide å gjøre.

Utover kvelden i går kom det mer og mer ømhet i nakken og jeg ble veldig tung i hodet, og i dag kjenner jeg meg totalt mørbanka i nesten hele kroppen. Jeg kjenner meg like stiv som jeg alltid har vært, om ikke verre, men når jeg tar på muskelaturen min er den helt tydelig mykere enn før, og jeg kan faktisk bøye og tøye meg i alle mulige retninger hvor det før har vært helt stopp! Visstnok må man regne med å bli verre før man blir bedre, fordi feilbrukte muskler, sener, bindevev osv skal flyttes på og omstilles når sjelettet stabiliserer seg på nytt.

Denne behandleren tror nok bestemt at Atlas Profilax kan gjøre underverker på ME. Det er ikke jeg helt overbevist om. Men jeg har masse (medfødte?) feilstillinger i skjelettet og i tillegg fibromyalgi, og håper veldig at det skal hjelpe litt på noe av det, i hvert fall. Og at det er noe som skjer, det er i hvert fall helt sikkert!

Skal prøve å rapportere litt her inne jevnlig, etter hvert som det forhåpentligvis skjer ting! Spør hvis det er noe.






Dag tre etter Atlas-korreksjon:

Jeg kjenner meg fortsatt litt mørbanka, men langt ifra så ille som i går. Muskulaturen min er fortsatt løs, og det virker som om det gjelder nesten hele kroppen nå. Hendene mine, for eksempel, er ikke så "tunge å bruke" som de pleier og ansiktet kjennes mindre stivt. I tillegg har jeg sovet over 10 timer i natt!!! Det er det jammen lenge siden jeg gjorde sist...

Jeg vet jo ikke om dette er noe som kommer til å vare, men jeg nyter det nå og tillater meg å håpe at muskel- og leddplagene mine nå skal komme under kontroll!






Dag fem etter atlas-korrigering:

Fortsatt litt mørbanka, men også løsere i muskulaturen for hver dag! Sov over åtte timer i går natt; litt dårligere nå i natt. Merker selv at holdningen min er bedre og at genserne mine blir for korte foran fordi jeg er rettere i skuldrene og ikke luter. Også oppdaga jeg i går at det jeg trodde var store, klumpete skulderbein faktisk er forsvunnet (det må ha vært "forsteina musklatur"), og innenfor min nye myke muskelatur kan jeg kjenne formen på helt normale skulderbein, slik de ser ut på skjeletter! Det er jammen mye rart man kan bli glad for...

Var hos fysioterapeuten min i dag. Hun kommenterte ingenting selv, men sa at bla. nakken min var merkbart løsere nå når jeg fortalte om korrigeringen, og hun kommenterte også at jeg går bedre. Og det merker jeg selv også. Jeg er rettere, og jeg halter mye mindre.

Jeg krysser alt jeg har av fingre for at dette fortsetter i samme tempo!!!!






Oj, her har det vært aktivitet mens jeg var borte!

Dag ni etter atlaskorrigeringen: Venstresida mi har vært utrolig vond de siste dagene. Jeg kunne tegna ei loddrett stripe midt på kroppen, og jeg ville hatt smerter overalt på venstre side av streka og ingen overhode på høyre, så klart er skillet mellom kroppshalvdelene. Venstresida har virka nesten betent innimellom, og på tirsdag greide jeg ikke engang å komme meg ut av senga fordi absolutt alle leddene på venstresida var "låst" og vi greide ikke å bryte dem opp igjen. Men etter en hel dag i senga med betennelsesdempende og en haug med varmeflasker, var det plutselig helt borte vekk og alt var bra igjen! Så har kneet vært kjempevondt og krangla en dag, og armen den neste... I tillegg til generelle smerter og ømhet på venstresida. Men det er blitt bedre og bedre igjen de siste par dagene, og i dag er jeg slett ikke verst! Og musklaturen min er fortsatt løs!

Behandleren sa at jeg måtte regne med å gå igjennom de fleste plagene jeg noensinne har hatt på nytt nå, før ting skulle begynne å gå bare oppover. Så kanskje er det det jeg driver med. Eller (og det tror jeg mest på) det er rett og slett en konsekvens av at en 5-6 cm skjevhet i skjelettet (det er det min skjevhet er blitt målt til tidligere, "kortest" på venstre side) har blitt korrigert på et minutt, og det er hard kost for muskler, bindevev og sener...

Ellers så sover jeg mye bedre enn på lenge; mellom 8 og 11 timer hver natt pluss litt på dagtid. Og det er mye til å være meg!

I tillegg har jeg fått kviser (har hatt det bare en gang før i mitt liv, så når jeg får kviser er det litt spesielt) og innimellom tisser jeg noe som lukter... ja, ikke vet jeg hva det lukter, men jeg besvimer nesten der jeg sitter... Æsj! Så jeg tror egentlig kroppen min driver og rensker opp litt i saker og ting?

Jeg har ikke vært i Moss igjen for oppfølgingsmassasjen enda, siden ingen har hatt tid til å kjøre meg. Men ifølge behandleren gjorde det ingenting om det gikk et par uker, så det blir vel en tur nå til uka igjen.






14. dagen etter korreksjon i dag, og formen er mildt sagt elendig. Muskulatur og gange og den slags er fortsatt bedre, men jeg har noe inni he#%?*$!!!! vondt i nakken!!!! Vanskelig å si om det er en "positiv" ting fordi det betyr at ting skjer, eller om det betyr at noe ikke er helt bra... Min kone har ringt behandleren som mente at det ikke har noen ting med selve behandlingen å gjøre, men at det kunne dreie seg om at kroppen nå jobber seg gjennom gamle problemer. Jeg er ikke enig. Jeg har aldri tidligere hatt særlig mye problemer med nakken, og smertene er dessuten lokalisert til de to punktene hvor hun masserte. Det har vært vondt en stund nå, men toppa seg helt i går kveld og nå er det altså ganske ekstremt..






8 dager etter atlas-korreksjonen, og på tide med en ny oppdatering:

Nakken min er bedre. Ikke bra, men MYE bedre. Smertene er ikke så sterke lenger og jeg greier nå å gjøre alminnelige ting, som f.eks. å ligge, noe jeg ikke klarte i det hele tatt for noen dager siden. Samtidig har smertene flyttet seg nedover nakken (tidligere satt de helt oppe i hårfestet, mens de nå sitter der nakken nesten blir til skuldra), og det tolker jeg som at alt sammen bare var muskler, sener og bindevev. Må innrømme at jeg var litt bekymra for at hun hadde gjort noe ordentlig galt oppi der når det sto på som verst... Men det var nok bare noe helt ufarlig, og det ser jo ut til å gå over!

Ellers sover jeg bra igjen nå som nakken er bedre; minst åtte timer hver eneste natt. Så at Smilla beskrev det som økt søvnbehov. Jeg velger å kalle det økt soveevne. Behov for å sove har jeg hatt hele tiden; jeg har bare vært ute av stand til å gjøre det inntil nå.

Da jeg var hos legen min her om dagen, kommenterte den ene helsesekretæren der at jeg så så mye bedre ut enn før og at jeg liksom så "så rett ut"! Så kanskje det faktisk synes på meg?






23. dagen i dag.

Var til etterbehandlingen i går. Sjekk av at atlasbenet satt som det skulle, en vanlig rygg- og nakkemassasje + at jeg lærte et par hofteøvelser jeg skulle gjøre hjemme. Alt så ut til å utvikle seg som det skulle.

Muskulaturen min er fortsatt utrolig mye løsere, og jeg sover som en sten hver eneste natt! Jeg føler meg også litt rettere og mindre halt, og kunne godt tenkt meg å få målt høyden min, da jeg faktisk har krympa 3,5 cm de siste årene. Hadde vært spennede å se om jeg har retta meg opp så mye at de er kommet tilbake! Har også hatt et ben som har sklidd innover de siste årene (litt CP-gange). Dette er blitt borte nå.

Jeg tror absolutt at denne behandlingen har noe for seg for meg, men så har jo jeg flere problemer enn bare ME.
Men nå er jeg jo ferdig med behandlingen og det ser ut til å hjelpe, så da slipper jeg å irritere meg mere over det. Bare vær obs på det, hvis dere andre tar behandlingen


**********************************************************************************


Dag.1 :


- Da har jeg vært å fått korrigert min atlas, så nå er det bare å vente å se hva som skjer fremover. Tenkte jeg skulle dele mine erfaringer med dere etterhver som tiden går.


Selve behandlingen tar bare 30 min, og dette er en engangsbehandling. Men det tar mnd/år før ting er på plass. Alt kommer an på hvilke plager/traumer/smerter etc ... Som du opplever i din hverdag.


Etter min første time, klarer jeg å bevege hodet over til venstre side, uten at skulderen følger med. Det prikker mye over naseroten/pannen, og det er nesten numment der oppe.


Ikke fullt så stram i nakken, og jeg er letter i hodet






1 natt:

Føttene mine "løp løpsk", og jeg hadde av den grunn vanskelig for å sove. 2 dag:
Smerter i låret (av alle ting), kraftig sting under høyre ribbein, mye løsere i nakken og mere klar i hodet. To store knuter under hver side av kjeven er blitt betydelig mindre.
Ellers ikke så store forandringene ennå.

Men som sagt. Dette er noe som kan ta opp til et år, så jeg har ikke lagt ifra meg håpet ennå

For jeg hørte av ei jeg kjenner at en dame gikk inn med kraftig migreneanfall, og kom ut anfallsfri. Og det er jo noe






Dag 4:

- Nå skjer det en del saker og ting. Jeg har fått mye mer bevegelighet i venstrearmen. Muskelen som går under armen og ned langs brystkassen, er så og si smertefri
Muskelknutene som lå oppå skuldrene, er så og si borte. Og nakken er mye mer bevegelig. (Dette er plager jeg har hatt over flere år, som ingen har klart å løsne opp i før.)
Jeg har fremdeles smerter fra nakken opp til kjeve og ansikt på venstre side. Men ikke fullt så intenst.
Smertene jeg hadde langs nedeste ribbein på venstre side, er helt borte.

Nettene er merkelig. Jeg sover så enormt dårlig, da jeg ikke finnes trøtt. I natt våknet jeg av at jeg nesten ikke fikk puste og at jeg var kjempekvalm.
Begynte å tulle litt i hodet mitt også.

Mye av det som skjer er litt vanskelig å forklare, da smertene mine er bare noe jeg går å kjenner på.
Men en ting er helt sikkert, er at NOE skjer.






Dag 6:

- Nå har det gått noen dager, og spennende ting skjer hele tiden. Nå er det ikke så tungt å holde opp ryggen, jeg ser fremover og opp, istedet for
i bakken. Kommer meg lettere ut av senga. Før måtte jeg sitte lenge for å få ryggen til å krype "på plass", før jeg sto opp.
Nå bruker jeg kortere og kortere tid på det, for hver dag som går.

Har fremdeles smerter, men ikke så kraftig som før. Tar vel sin tid før det forsvinner, for kroppen har jo gått med verk i åresvis.
Men en del "topper" er borte.

Føler energien kommer krypende også. Jeg orker litt ekstra. Har faktisk vært på besøk, noe jeg ikke har vært på lenge. Og ikke synes jeg det var et ork heller.

Ellers så oppdaget jeg noe merkelig med psyken her en dag. Gikk fra å være strålende sol, til en illsint furie! Det var som å knipse i fingrene. Fullstendig væromslag!
Måtte bare forlate huset før mann og barn kom hjem. Tror ikke de hadde godt av å ha meg hjemme da.
Heldigvis gikk det over på noen timer










Dag 7:

Jeg er på føttene og deilig energisk
Kan ikke huske sist jeg klarte så mye på en dag, og i et slikt tempo.
Ikke det at jeg raser avgårde, men alt jeg gjør, gjør jeg raskere.

Har fått mye kommentarer på at jeg har fått farge i ansiktet, noe andre har sett og ikke jeg.
Jeg har bestandig vært veldig blek, men nå er jeg nesten litt rødblusset.

Føler en herlig forandring i det mitt helseliv. Å jeg håper dette varer!






Jeg har fått slike "knekker" hos kiropraktor mange ganger, men har aldri hatt noe effekt av det.
Men etter jeg fikk atlas på plass, er det tydelig merkbart at jeg får mere blod til hodet og muskler.
Jeg har lettnet i hodet noe betraktelig. Før så følte jeg at hodet var en byrde på mine skuldre og at hjernen føltes betent ut hele tiden.

Konstant trøtt og sliten. Nå føler jeg mere energi og jeg føler meg mer våken.

Jeg tror at det å fjerne trykket fra blodårene som en skeiv atlas trykker imot, kan være til hjelp hos mange










Dag 11:

- Nå sover jeg mye bedre om nettene. Og jeg slipper å passe på at puta er rett, slik at jeg unngår smerteanfall.
Og det er en fryd å kan gå ut av senga uten å må gå av seg smertene etterpå.
Er i dag litt stiv i nakken på en annen plass enn der jeg pleier å ha vondt. Men han forberedte meg på at det kunne skje, så da får jeg bare smøre meg med tålmod. Smerten er til å leve med.

En annen stor forandring jeg har merket, er at bekkenet har stabilisert seg. Jeg står på begge bena
Før så la jeg vekten på det ene benet, da lengdeforskjellen var så stor. Nå synes jeg det er unaturlig og ubehagelig å legge vekten på kun et ben. Skjønn det den som kan.

Energien er her fortsatt og jeg er livredd for å miste den! En uke med ny energi hver dag, har jeg ikke opplevd på flere år, så det er ikke så rart jeg er redd kanskje.
Også alt dette etter en liten korreksjon øverst oppe i nakken .... Er det mulig liksom? Er det for godt til å være sant?
Slik sitter jeg hver dag å grubler, ennå det er kroppen min dette skjer med.










Dag 14:

Og still going strong.

Jeg tåler mer og mer for hver dag, før jeg kjenner at kroppen sier ifra om at jeg burde roe ned.
Nå har jeg hatt et par episoder, der jeg har måttet stresse (skyndte meg), noe jeg alldeles ikke har tålt på mange år.
Og det gikk så bra! Moro!

Hevelsen i nakken er nesten borte. Og jeg opplever tydelig at ting forandrer seg fysisk.
Har til tider hatt litt hodepine, men ikke noe mere enn hva en Ibux kan fikse.
Nettene er fremdeles rolige. Ikke noe oppvåkning pga av smerter nå nei.






Dag 16:

Og det går fremdeles veldig fint. Er litt kvalm til tider og det hender at vanlig hodepine dukker opp.
Kaller det vanlig hodepine jeg, når Ibux fikser det.

Av og til (spesielt om natten) kjenner jeg at det er akkurat som om ting vandrer rundt i kroppen.
Veldig vanskelig å forklare, må nesten bare oppleves.

Nyter dagene nå, der jeg kan utrette mye mer før smertene viser seg.
De kommer av og til, men da klarer jeg å stoppe de, med å roe ned eller gå en rolig tur.
Før så har jeg kommet til å ha hatt smerteanfall i månedsvis, har jeg vært så aktiv som jeg har vært i de siste 14 dagene.

Ellers så har jeg jo fremdeles ME, så hvile er en del av hverdagen. Men jeg er mere aktiv, og tar meg raskere igjen etter hvile.










Dag 20:

Og min reise mot helbredelse forstsetter. Må bare få si at dette er en utrolig merkelig reise.
Ting skjer hele tiden, noen forklarelige andre ikke.

Noen ganger føler jeg at livet mitt går i revers. Spesielt om natta, når jeg drømmer.
Akkurat nå, er alt bare et eneste kaos. Jeg har ikke kontroll på noe som skjer i kroppen.
Ja, jeg kan rett og slett ikke forklare det.
Bare henger på jeg.
I går var jeg utrolig kvalm, og kroppen klarte nesten ikke å holde seg oppreist.
I dag er det bedre.










Hei igjen.

Da har det gått en stund siden behandlingen.
Det har ikke skjedd så mye nytt siden sist. Annet at jeg hadde en peride der formen gikk rett ned, men jeg kom meg opp igjen raskere enn jeg bruker.
Har vært en del svimmel, og temmelig rotete i hodet. Glemt ord, handlinger etc ... Heldigvis gikk dette over på et par dager.

Dette er bedre enn før behandling:

- mer bevegelighet i nakken.
- ikke så stram overst i ryggen.
- ME'n er en liten tanke bedre
- Hodet fungerer MYE bedre
- Tåler mye mer, før jeg kjenner symptomer på smertanfallene i hodet.
- Føler at hodet og kroppen henger sammen.
- Har MYE lengre lunte. Mere glad, ikke så snartsint.
- Mindre innvendig stress

Jeg har klart en campingtur sammen en venninne, der jeg drakk alkohol 2 dager på rad og storkoste meg
ME'n fikk visst seg fra sin dumme side uka etterpå, men det var verdt det.
Litt om hva andre jeg kjenner har erfart:

Har snakket med to mødre som har hatt sønnene sine til behandling. Og både mødrene og lærere er kjempefornøyde med resultatene.
Barna er blitt roligere, har fått mer konsentrasjon og bedre søvn. Dette er barn med konsentrasjonsproblemer, adhd, tourettes og div andre plager.

Jeg har allerede bestilt plass for min sønn som lider av dysileksi, konsentrasjonsproblemer, sinne og mangel på logisk tankegang.
Både han og jeg gleder oss veldig, da han har sett stor forandring på meg og kameraten sin.

Når det er sagt, så vil jeg tilføye at jeg angrer ikke et sekund på at jeg gjorde det.

P-piller

Siden det er snakk om naturlig prevensjon vs p-piller nå, legger jeg ved et gammelt dokument om helsefarer ved bruk av p-piller. Dokumentet er ikke oppdatert på mange år, så de fleste linkene er nok døde. Men, det er tilstrekkelig med forskningsreferanser i dokumentet til å gi en ide om hvor helsefarlig p-piller faktisk er.

POSTMENOPAUSAL ESTROGEN USE/LUPUS
Women who use estrogen are at increased risk of developing systemic lupus erythematosus. The risk increases as length of time the estrogen is used increases. The risk drops as estrogen use is discontinued. (Medical Tribune 35(22)8, November 17, 1994)






ESTROGEN REPLACEMENT THERAPY/SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS
Women who are taking postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy are at increased risk of developing systemic lupus erythematosus. The risk increases as the length of time the hormones are taken increases. (Arthritis and Rheumatism 37(Suppl 9)S211, September 1994)






ESTROGEN REPLACEMENT THERAPY/OVARIAN CANCER
Women who use long-term estrogen replacement therapy are at increased risk of developing fatal ovarian cancer according to a study from Emory University and the American Cancer Society. (American Journal of Epidemiology 141(9)828-35, 1995)






BREAST CANCER FROM HORMONE USE


More than 5 years of use of estrogen with progestin increases the risk of breast cancer by 9% per year. Reference: Am J Epidemiol. 147(suppl):645. 1998






ESTROGENS/FIBROCYSTIC BREAST DISEASE
Two different studies have revealed that estrogen use increases rates of fibrocystic breast disease. A Massachusetts study reveals increased rates of hospitalization for fibrocystic breast disease during the first year of estrogen use, then during the fourth, fifth and following years. As years of use increase so does risk. None of the previously known risk factors for fibrocystic breast disease (late age at menopause, no or few pregnancies, age, race, and socioeconomic status) appear to influence fibrocystic breast disease rates as markedly as does estrogen use. (American Journal of Epidemiology 121:238-245, 1985; American Journal of Epidemiology 124(5)746-751, 1986






ESTROGEN/GALLBLADDER DISEASE
Women who take estrogen are at increased risk of developing gallbladder disease requiring gallbladder removal. A new study demonstrates that the elevated risk remains even after the use of estrogen is discontinued. (Gastroenterology 94:91-95, 1988)

Östrogen bakom 3 400 cancerfall
http://www.svd.se/dynamiskt/inrikes/did_9585630.asp
Nästan vart femte fall av bröstcancer hos medelålders svenska kvinnor under 1990-talet kan kopplas till hormonbehandling under klimakteriet. Oftast handlar det om östrogen i kombination med gulkroppshormon. Av totalt 18 916 fall av bröstcancer bland 50-64-åriga kvinnor uppskattas 3 440 ha denna förklaring






Ny studie om hormonbehandling av klimakteriebesvär och risk för återfall i bröstcancer
http://info.ki.se/article_se.html?ID=3379
Enligt en färsk studie från Karolinska Institutet, som publiceras den 6 april i tidskriften Journal of the National Cancer Institut, kan det finnas ett samband mellan de doser av gulkroppshormon som används tillsammans med östrogen vid hormonbehandling av klimakteriebesvär och risken för återfall i bröstcancer.

År 1997 påbörjades två randomiserade studier i Sverige, HABITS-studien (Hormonal Replacement Therapy—Is It Safe?) och Stockholmstudien. I båda studierna undersöks effekterna av hormonbehandling av klimakteriebesvär hos kvinnor som hade fått diagnosen bröstcancer i ett tidigt stadium.

HABITS-studien, som i slutändan omfattade 345 bröstcancerpatienter, avbröts i förtid i december 2003, när forskarna vid en medianuppföljning på endast 2,1 år fann att risken för återfall i bröstcancer hos kvinnor som fick hormonbehandling var 3,3 gånger högre än risken bland de kvinnor som inte fick någon behandling






Kombinerad hormonbehandling medför högre risk för bröstcancer än singelhormonterapihttp://www.nymedicin.com/news/2000/01/27/Kombinerad_hormonbehandling_medfor_hogre_risk_for.html
Catherine Schairer och kollegor vid National Cancer Institute har funnit att kvinnor med pågående hormonbehandling för menopausala besvär har högre risk för att få bröstcancer än kvinnor som endast tar östrogen....






Estrogen, Heart Disease And Cancer


For years estrogen and estrogen synthetic progesterone hormones have been prescribed to postmenopausal women for the relief of menopausal symptoms. An added benefit was that it was believed that this estrogen replacement therapy helped protect women against cardiovascular disease.


New research has shown that there is in fact no change in cardiovascular risk for women who are taking estrogen replacement hormones compared to those who do not.


On the other hand, the risk of breast cancer has been demonstrated to be significantly increased after only one year of estrogen use. Researchers evaluated some 51 different epidemiological studies of some 160,000 women to prove the correlation between estrogen and breast cancer.


A better alternative for women is natural progesterone therapy which has none of the side effects of the estrogens. (See previous issues of the Health Letter for recommendations on the use of natural progesterones.)


Progesterones are also the treatment of choice for endometriosis. This can be a difficult disease to treat and the use of pharmaceuticals such as Lupron can make women extremely sick. Additionally, some practitioners recommend that their patients get pregnant in order to cure the condition, since pregnancy results in a dramatic increase in progesterone levels. For those who don’t really want to have a baby as a method of treating a disease, natural progesterone therapy would certainly be a good alternative.

HORMONE HERESY –


http://www.nexusmagazine.com/articles/hormone1.html


http://www.nexusmagazine.com/articles/hormone2.html






Estrogens: Premarin lowers folic-acid and B6 levels, which can raise blood homocysteine levels (elevated homocysteine is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Research has not found which nutrients are depleted by estrogens but one would assume it would be similar to those of birth control pills - lower levels of vitamins B1, B2, B4, B6 and C and the minerals zinc and manganese. These contraceptives also decrease blood levels of amino acids and increase levels of cholesterol and triglycerides - both risk factors for heart disease. Estrogens also raise glucose levels, which may predispose a woman to insulin resistance and diabetes, which further increase the risk of heart disease. Estrogens boost sodium levels and increase fluid retention.




OOPS, WE WERE WRONG


For years the pharmaceutical industry has promoted hormone replacement therapy (HRT), involving the use of estrogen extracted from pregnant mares' urine, as a panacea for women experiencing difficulties in menopause, and as a protection against heart disease, bone loss and even Alzheimer's. The enormously successful campaign to get every menopausal woman on drugs began in 1966 when Wyeth-Ayerst, developer of the drug, paid Robert Wilson, an enthusiastic doctor, to write a bestselling book called Feminine Forever and then financed him to fly around the country promoting it. Wilson told women and doctors alike that estrogen therapy "could keep women young, healthy and attractive." He painted a dire picture of the consequences to women who resisted. "At age 50, there are no ova, no follicles, no thesa, no estrogen—truly a galloping catastrophe." Wilson promised that estrogen therapy could save women from the ravages of age. "Breasts and genital organs will not shrivel. Such women will be much more pleasant to live with and will not become dull and unattractive." This offensive propaganda spurred billions of dollars in sales of HRT drugs yearly. Now a rigorous study has found that HRT causes increases in breast cancer, heart attacks, strokes and blood clots. The study did not even show that HRT could reduce the risk of bone fractures. Other trials have demolished the theory that HRT protects against Alzheimer's. Sixteen thousand participants in the study, the Women's Health Initiative sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, received notices to discontinue HRT and Wyeth stock fell 24 percent after the report (New York Times 8/10/2002). The lesson: be skeptical of claims for patented medicines. But it's a lesson that Americans are taking a long time to learn.

Scientists suspect hormone replacement therapy and the growing epidemic of obesity are behind a "surprising" 2% increase each year in the number of large breast cancer tumors found in newly diagnosed women in the U.S. since 1990 –


http://www.eces.org/articles/000431.php






ESTROGEN REPLACEMENT
Jacques Rossouw, M.D., from the National Institutes of Health Women's Health Initiative told the National Cancer Institute's advisory board that physicians are "rushing to judgement" regarding the use of estrogen. He points out that as baby boomers age more, more of them are being given estrogen replacement replacements, but it has not yet been proven that they actually are effective in preventing osteoporosis or heart disease. The FDA has approved the use of estrogen only for the treatment of menopausal symptoms and diagnosed osteoporosis; not for the prevention of these diseases.
Estrogen supplements increase the risk of breast cancer. (Journal of the National Cancer Institute 88(10)637-638, May 15, 1996)






ESTROGEN REPLACEMENT THERAPY/FATAL OVARIAN CANCER
The long-term use of estrogen replacement therapy may increase the risk of developing fatal ovarian cancer according to a recent study from the American Cancer Society and the Emory University School of Public Health. Risk increases as duration of use increases.
Previous studies on the relationship between estrogen use and ovarian cancer did not study duration of use.
The authors of this study point out that the women in this study group were given higher doses of estrogen than are given today.
Another interesting finding in this study was that menarche after 12 years of age is associated with a reduced risk of later ovarian cancer. (American Journal of Epidemiology 141(9)828-35, 1995)






Three New Studies About HRT -
A recent study published in The Lancet found that out of one million British women, 22% taking hormone replacement therapy had a higher risk of dying from breast cancer than those who had never taken the drugs. The risk wore off within a few years of stopping the treatments.

BIRTH CONTROL PILLS/BIRTH DEFECTS
Use of oral contraceptives has been associated with an increased risk of leg or arm defects in infants. Infants with abnormalities were more likely to have been conceived while the mother was taking birth control pills. (American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology 155:1072-8, 1986)




DRUGS FOR THE "MORNING AFTER" CONTRACEPTIVE


Diethystilbestrol (see above – “DRUGS TO PREVENT MISCARRIAGE”) prescribed to prevent miscarriage (which it causes), was also doled out to whole populations as a morning-after pill though the dangers were known. Causes still-birth, infertility, congenital defects, malformations, breast cancer, asthma, arthritis, diabetes. Worldwide thousands of legal claims made against Eli Lilly and other pharmaceutical companies. A Dutch DES Report estimates that in the European community alone up to 9 million people could have been exposed to DES in the womb. That ninety percent of women prescribed DES now have problems in their reproductive organs. –

IT WAS APPROVED


About 25 years ago it became apparent that the drug diethylstilbestrol (DES) was causing vaginal cancer in daughters born of women who were treated with the hormone during pregnancy. Over 6 million pregnant American women were given this drug to prevent miscarriages even though it was later found to be ineffective for this purpose.


Adding to this horror story it is now found that the children of DES mothers can be infertile, can actually have an increased incidence of miscarriage, and boys can have cystic testicles, testicular cancer and a tiny penis. Added to this, the hormone is believed to cause damage to the immune system increasing the susceptibility to autoimmune disorders such as thyroiditis, pernicious anemia, myasthenia gravis, Crohn’s disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis and breast and prostate cancer. Even the granddaughters of DES treated mothers are at increased risk of disease. DES children would now be in the 20-to 30-year old range. These should investigate whether their mothers took the drug if they have any of the above symptoms.


But this is only one of many FDA/doctor approved pharmaceutical disasters. A drug, practically by definition, is dangerous.






CROHN'S DISEASE/ORAL CONTRACEPTIVES
Crohn's disease limited to the colon has been shown to be more frequent in women who had taken oral contraceptives in the year prior to the development of symptoms according to a British study. Previous reports have suggested a relationship between oral contraceptives and colitis, and this study supports those reports. Women who developed colitis improved after discontinuation of the medication. (British Medical Journal 288:595-596, February 25, 1984) No hormone is without some hazard.






BIRTH CONTROL PILLS/CROHN'S DISEASE
Several recent studies have suggested a high risk of inflammatory disease in women who use oral contraceptives. One study revealed a twofold greater incidence of Crohn's disease in oral contraceptive users than in nonusers; another study revealed a 40 percent larger incidence in oral contractive users. Risk decreases after oral contraceptives are stopped, disappearing after about four years. The longer the oral contraceptives are used, the greater the risk. (Gastroenterology 89:1046-1049, 1985)




ORAL CONTRACEPTIVES


Found to increase the risk of blood-clots leading to heart attacks, lung disorders and strokes. By 1980 over 400 deaths reported.


"Not only had the animal tests failed to identify the hazard, but in rats and dogs oral contraceptives produced entirely the opposite effect, making it more difficult for the blood to clot."
(Z. Bankowski and N. Howard-Jones, Biomedical Research Involving Animals.)

The use of oral contraceptives (OCs) almost doubles the risk of myocardial infarction in women. Those who smoke and have high blood pressure exhibit a dramatic increase in risk with the use of OCs. The total study population demonstrated a 1.8 risk rate, while non-smokers without other risk factors had a 2.8 fold increase in risk. Smokers who used OCs showed a 5.6-fold greater risk than those with no risk factors. (Family Practice News 10(20)24, October 15, 1980)

CERVICAL ADENOCARCINOMA RISK FACTORS
The incidence of cervical adenocarcinoma in women under 35 years-of-age has more than doubled since the 1970s. Los Angeles researchers studied nearly 600 women in an attempt to understand the factors which contribute to this disease. They report that the number of sexual partners before the age of 20, weight gain, and long-term use of oral contraceptives increase the risk. Women of low educational attainment and lower economic status also appear to be at increased risk. (Cancer Causes and Control 7:391-401, 1996)

BIRTH CONTROL/FIBROCYSTIC DISEASE OF THE BREAST
Women who have previously used oral contraceptives are more likely to develop fibrocystic disease of the breast after menopause. (American Journal of Epidemiology 120:87-96, 1984)






ESTROGENS/FIBROCYSTIC BREAST DISEASE
Two different studies have revealed that estrogen use increases rates of fibrocystic breast disease. A Massachusetts study reveals increased rates of hospitalization for fibrocystic breast disease during the first year of estrogen use, then during the fourth, fifth and following years. As years of use increase so does risk. None of the previously known risk factors for fibrocystic breast disease (late age at menopause, no or few pregnancies, age, race, and socioeconomic status) appear to influence fibrocystic breast disease rates as markedly as does estrogen use. (American Journal of Epidemiology 121:238-245, 1985; American Journal of Epidemiology 124(5)746-751, 1986






ORAL CONTRACEPTIVES/FIBROCYSTIC BREAST DISEASE
Some studies have suggested that birth control pills may reduce the risk of fibrocystic breast disease. It now appears that this holds true only for a specific type of fibrocystic disease-- the type least likely to progress to breast cancer. A new study now reveals that women who have never used birth control pills are at a lower risk of fibrocystic disease as a whole. (Journal of the National Cancer Institute 71:5-9, 1983)






ORAL CONTRACEPTIVES/BREAST CANCER
Birth control pills may stimulate breast cancer, particularly in older users, according to a California study. It is felt that latent cancer cells present in the breast may be stimulated into active growth. (Cancer 59:281-287, 1987)






BIRTH CONTROL PILLS/CERVICAL CANCER
There has been a marked increase in the incidence of cancer of the cervix in the under-35 age group. There is some suggestion that this increase may be due to changes in the cervix which are associated with the use of birth control pills. (British Medical Journal 295:1446-1447, December 5, 1987






ESTROGEN REPLACEMENT THERAPY/OVARIAN CANCER
Women who use long-term estrogen replacement therapy are at increased risk of developing fatal ovarian cancer according to a study from Emory University and the American Cancer Society. (American Journal of Epidemiology 141(9)828-35, 1995)
