This is what we know so far. Electric lights result in decreased production of melatonin, a necessary brain chemical, and greater vulnerability to oxidative injury and AD. It is very important to sleep in a dark room. All sleep deprivation affects melatonin production and therefore increases the risk of AD.

Aluminum, like other metals, directly increases the production of free radicals that can and do damage the delicate myelin sheath of nervous tissue. There is a 250% increase risk of AD in people drinking municipal water high in aluminum content for more than ten years. Much municipal drinking water in North America is treated with alum (aluminum) to purify it and aluminum fluoride to prevent cavities. That’s why I have Mountain Valley Water in both my practice and my home. Characteristic brain AD lesions contain very high levels of aluminum.

Mercury is another chemical of concern, and studies show that mercury levels continue to escalate. Mercury is now found in most fish, but bigger problems come from silver dental fillings (mostly mercury). Additionally, consider that the average child receives 35 vaccines, and most of them contain thimerosol (mercury). Unfortunately, science has demonstrated that when both these toxic chemical are found together as they are in AD, the combination, due to synergy, is many times more toxic than we would expect.

Electromagnetic waves are also a culprit. Electricians, machinists, machine operators, seamstresses, sewing factory workers, sheet metal workers, typists, key punch operators, welders, and machine shop workers have a four times greater risk of acquiring AD. This study was done over twenty years ago. What would we find today when we add to that list the users of personal and business computers, cell phones, electric blankets, clock radios near the head when sleeping, and users of hair dryers. Fortunately, most of these risks are modifiable.

The gene primarily incriminated in AD is APOE4; however, the disease only occurs when there is a favorable environment. Again, the disease only occurs when there is a favorable environment.

A good test for AD risk is serum homocysteine. There is a 200% increased risk of AD in people with elevated homocysteine levels. Elevated homocysteine is related to a nutritional deficiency of the B-complex family. Serum homocysteine is a simple test that any doctor can order on patient request. Supplementation with B vitamins restores serum homocysteine to normal levels and reduces the risk to AD. Glyco-B is the Preventics B vitamin product along with Glyco Min. They can be found on the website, Ask Doctor David.

European Food Safety Authorities include “experts” financially linked to nutrasweet, but the pressure is so great that the changes continue to happen. There is no longer any question that these artificial sweeteners cause cancer. In fact it is fair to think of artificially sweetened soft drinks as formaldehyde cocktails. Oh, and for the record, Searle, the original manufacturer parent holder of Aspartame is a subsidiary of Monsanto.

“Just as the heavy use of antibiotics contributed to the rise of drug resistant supergerms, American farmers’ near ubiquitous use of the weed killer Roundup has led to the rapid growth of tenacious new superweeds.”

This results in the use of more and more toxic herbicide, more agricultural runoff, more stream and lake pollution, and a greater health risk for you and your children. Roundup (glyphosate) is dangerous. I have warned about Monsanto, and the use of glyphosate and genetically modified crops for years.

Buy local, and feed your family organically grown food whenever possible — it’s a matter of life and health.

It turns out that Bayer has been suppressing information for the last decade that their pesticides in the class of neonicotinoids have been killing the bees. The European Union has submitted a letter of concern and wants the pesticide banned, while France and Germany have already banned these chemicals.

You might wish to avoid this class of toxic chemicals to protect the health of your family and your family pets. Here is a list of most of the neonicotinoids most commonly found in use here:

• Imidacloprid (Admire, Advantage, Antarc, Chinook, Confidor, Gaucho, Hachikusan, Kochinor, Premise, Prothor, Winner)
• Clothianidin (Arena, Belay, Clutch, Gaucho, Poncho, Titan)
• Acetamiprid (Adjust, Assail, Intruder)
• Thiamethoxam (Actara, Centric, Cruiser, Helix, Platinum)

Bayer puts profits first, just like Monsanto and Dow and the other Multi-national Pharmaceutical/Chemical giants. Their list of offenses goes on and on. By threatening the honey bee population Bayer created a major threat to the world’s food supply, realized the damage they were causing, and continued sales of their pesticides anyway in the name of profit, estimated at $1.25 billion from these products.

For some time, environmental and health advocates have been asking is it really by accident that most pharmaceutical companies also manufacture pesticides, and how much do they profit by the illness suffered by individuals exposed to these toxic chemicals in both the home and workplace? I think you all know my sentiments regarding these subjects, but when the New England Journal of Medicine published an article last year stating that this generation of Americans will be the first generation to live shorter lives that the previous generation it becomes evident that these toxins impact on our overall body burden is doing some serious damage, and that’s strictly from the position of mortality. What about morbidity, and the overall decline in health over the last fifty years that corresponds with the increase in man made chemicals in our environment, and what percentage of that decline can be reasonably blamed on these chemicals? Unfortunately, the bigger these Multi-National corporations get, the less likely they are to accept responsibility.

Since then I have had 39 chelation treatments. I also paid to have a CTA scan of my heart which revealed only one occlusion of a branch artery of the LAD. My main arteries were okay. I believe Dr. Doom at the hospital was just trying to scare me into a procedure to make him a few bucks and lessen the quality of my life, just like Dr. Sherry Rogers warned.

Another health concern I’ve had the last 30 plus years is chronic heartburn and acid reflux. I tried to control it with antacids of all kind: Tums, Rolaids, Alka Seltzer, baking soda. When Zantac became an over the counter drug, I was all over it. It turns out that all those antacids did for me was give me leaky gut syndrome. They also ruined my stomach lining. My girlfriend, Elizabeth, had been telling me all along to stop taking antacids, but I didn’t listen. I didn’t know what to do until a friend gave me a brochure about a doctor that treated people with leaky gut and allergies by using a treatment called NAET. Elizabeth and I made an appointment to see Dr. David Beaulieu. That was October, 2008.

At that time, I was still experiencing frequent intermittent chest pains, Angina. Dr. David performed a muscle resistance test (MRT) to determine what foods, chemicals or other things I might be sensitive to. It turns out it was a lot of things. I started NAET treatments right away. After a few months of doing NAET I was still having problems with my digestion and frequent Angina. I was consistently having diarrhea soon after eating meals and Angina after exertion. Dr. David and his nurse, Betsy, were concerned that I was not responding to the NAET treatments like I should. I was given a more extensive MRT by Dr. David and it was determined that I had mercury poisoning in my heart. I needed to get my amalgam fillings removed immediately as they were interfering with my recovery.

I had the fillings removed by March, 2009. When I started NAET treatments again things started getting better. Dr. David has shown Elizabeth and me how to do MRT on ourselves. I’ve discovered that I have a lot of different allergies/sensitivities. I am sensitive to different combinations like certain carbohydrates with proteins, my laptop only when I attach headphones, and certain vitamins and supplements cause a reaction when taken together. I also had a reaction to toothpicks, and paper towels. I can eat corn chips and salsa and beer if I drink only certain types of beer.

My heart symptoms and digestive symptoms have improved tremendously but they still occur occasionally, associated with various allergies/sensitivities. We find the culprit, NAET fixes it, and the heart pattern is better until the next culprit shows up. As it turns out, the heart problem was mostly due to mercury toxicity and allergies. I’m certainly glad I didn’t agree to bypass surgery or any other invasive procedure. I have learned a lot about my body and health thanks to Dr. David. I am now taking the vitamins, enzymes and other supplements I need plus eating a more healthful diet.

I don’t know if I will ever fully recover from my health problems because some of the damage is probably permanent, but I know I have a much better chance doing so this way as opposed to conventional medicine. I’m doing just fine without hardware in my arteries and life threatening drugs in my system.

During our first visit to Dr. David, three surprising things happened. First, all the complaints I communicated regarding Jenny’s health were substantiated. Secondly, I got instant results about the underlying problems causing the symptoms. Thirdly, Jenny had such severe health issues, she was not well enough to be treated that day.

Prior to our visit with Dr. David, lab tests diagnosed celiac syndrome, the severe problems in the Kreb Cycle, malabsorption of nutrients… we already knew about asthma. We had tried the rotation diet, the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, the Fiber Menace recommendations… Mannatech products… The latter’s products did help control the night sweats and gave relief to the asthma, however, if the product was not continued, the symptoms persisted.

My husband and I also knew Jenny’s future would be more test upon test, and medical interventions. The irritable bowel syndrome was not getting better but worse. Jenny had been reading since age 3 and excelled academically. However, we noticed social communication problems. She would rarely smile, and had fleeting eye contact at best. She spoke factually, almost monotone. She increasingly had trouble with attention and could not sit still for long. She offended children and adults alike by not responding to their nonverbal cues. No one noticed her stimming behavior, only that she needed to be more well behaved.

Jenny had joint pain, muscle aches, energy that ended suddenly (mid-activity), couldn’t get to sleep prior to midnight most of the time, ate non-food items… she was losing protein in the urine but wasn’t technically in kidney failure, only symptomatically on the verge… She had break outs on the cheeks, red flushed nose and cheeks frequently after food or chemical exposure (like walking through the grocery store cleaning aisle), and at age 6 still had nocturnal enuresis… that is, before we read the book and suspected the allergy to the chemicals in the diapers. We stopped using them and the nocturnal enuresis ended, even before treatment began.

On top of all this, she looked fine, normal, and healthy, even with the deep circles under her eyes. If anyone has experienced the pain of their child’s social rejection because of allergies affecting the brain, otherwise suspected asperger syndrome, high level autism (an actual gut issue), or experienced the lack of parenting success because of their child’s altered perception (many of the same naturally occurring chemicals in the gut are mirrored/exist in the brain alike), then know there is hope… not just hope of management, but hope of identifying your child’s allergies and plotting ahead with the belief that the Lord Jesus Christ will help you too, as He has us. We believed from the beginning that God would heal Jenny and we knew this was the route we were to take.

In sum, anyone with this level of problems, and intensity of issues, needs to get ready for the long haul. It is not an overnight fix, but there IS overnight progress. When Jenny could begin functioning “normally,” from first bowel issues, to later, nonverbal issues, we SAW the progress…. When my husband looked at me across the table and said, “Did you see that?” then I knew my presumptions were not just fanciful hope.

Prior: Urinary Tract Infections, Constipation, Mineral Deficiency, Gut Pain Ongoing, Heartburn, Acid Reflux, Shakiness-then turning pale, Joint Pain, Bone Pain, Teeth Pain (but no cavities), Back (Kidney) Pain, Fast Energy Depletion, Circles Under the Eyes, Swollen Lymph Nodes, Attention Difficulty, Not Reciprocating Nonverbals, Sound Sensitivity, Gall Bladder Pain, Asthma…

During:

Yes, throughout the highlights and breakthroughs, there were several “pains” and “aches” etc., so it wasn’t all highlights. The supplements that she used to take, she does not need regularly. Dr. David taught us how to use them effectively and we occasionally use them, and with great success.

Jenny no longer needs to take the supplements from the VitaminK protocol, indicating that autism is no longer an issue. Furthermore, she no longer displays symptoms of autism… except when she is blocked or switched, which we can easily identify. We realize the brain takes 2 years to rebuild, whereas the small intestine only takes weeks, for example.

We learned the importance of fat and protein, and the danger of hidden sugar. We eat more carefully and more comfortably than ever before, because we feel better that way. The book “The Hidden Story of Cancer,” by Brian Peskin was insightful, as was the book by Jordan Rubin, “The Maker’s Diet.”

To the other parents who have their hearts ripped out daily because of the suffering of their child: THERE IS HOPE!

I never researched NAET or Dr. David’s credentials. Something inside of me just knew that the services Dr. David renders were the answer to my lifelong search for my health. Understand, I had exhausted EVERY other avenue prior to my visit to Dr. David; general practitioners, vein specialists, MRI doctors, endocrinologists, sports doctors, acupuncturists, herbalists and vitamin therapy. I would only have temporary relief from my symptoms before they’d come flaring back.

My feet have been swollen since childhood. Once I hit my sophomore year in college the swelling extended up into my left ankle and calf. The swelling was so bad I could just barely get my pants off at night; and my mom could see the swelling through my pant leg. I had what is commonly known as pitting edema. Over the years, a heaviness I can only compare to the weight of a sandbag, accompanied the swelling.

In 2003 I had blood drawn to be tested for food allergies. Oh I definitely had a few of those. I was tested for 73 different food sensitivities and was allergic to over 40. The rotational diet was the supposed cure. It wasn’t.

In August of 2006 when I first met Dr. David face to face in his office I not only had food allergies, and edema but I also had adrenal insufficiency and hypothyroidism. If I had been a junk food eater with a sedentary lifestyle I probably would have understood my poor state of health better. However, this was not the case. I had lived in the gym for the past twelve years as a drug-free competitive body builder eating a very clean diet. As Dr. David put it to me one day, “You are a living example of the damage we have done to our environment. You eat well, you work out and you take vitamins. No one would ever know, just by looking at you, how sick you really are.”

When I think of how to describe NAET, three words come to mind: process of elimination. That’s what this has been for me. We had to clear out all of the allergies to see what the underlying problems were.

One of our biggest discoveries was that my stomach wasn’t producing enough digestive juices to break down my food. The result for me was extreme lethargy almost immediately following any meal. My belly would get bloated following the lethargy; and then my whole body would swell up because my stomach couldn’t digest the food. If your stomach cannot break down the food you are putting into it, you have serious problems. Needless to say, eating wasn’t very much fun anymore.

Another discovery was my allergy to the purified water I was drinking from a filter at my house.

Once I finished The Basics for NAET, we started on the kits. We were now able to test numerous items during an office visit as opposed to just one.

Here’s what I would tell anyone: make your health your priority in the least invasive way possible. I tell my clients all the time: You only get one body. Make the most of what you have been given and be nice to it! Where NAET is concerned, make the commitment to it and make it a priority in your life. There is no guarantee of a tomorrow.

I started NAET on August 22, 2006. The most visits I was allowed each week during The Basics was two. When we started on the kits I was allowed three visits each week. By December 21, 2006 we had completed all of the testing in the office. My edema was down by one-half to three-quarters, I had enough energy to exercise AND go to work all in the same day, my clothes were fitting again; and I could eat food without swelling up. I wish everyone would make such a commitment as this to getting their health back.

I have continued to make little discoveries of my own since December which have only improved my health that much more. I believe Dr. David has enjoyed my discoveries about as much as I have. His open-mindedness has allowed this to happen and made it very easy for me to refer people to him. In a FREE telephone call [Health Help Hotline] you can ask Dr. David any question. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. I’m more than happy to answer any questions from a skeptical reader and share my victory! I was brought through this in order to help others… not just to keep it to myself.

In high school I began to suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome but seemed to have gotten over my food allergies. I was a relatively normal young man except for the fact that I was always sick and a cold or cough would last for months. I also continued to struggle with all subjects in school.

Things began to get worse in my 20′s when I just felt worse and worse every year. By the time I was 29, I was suffering from terrible pain in all my muscles and joints. I had chronic fatigue, depression, severe TMJ (jaw pain). By this time I was spending 500 to 1000 dollars per month on chiropractic, massage, colon treatments, supplements, and cranial sacral work just to survive.

At 29 I was told I was allergic to gluten and that I would start to feel better if I took this out of my diet. I did and only felt slightly better, so I began to take other things out of my diet. For the next 5 years I lost 40 pounds and lived on mostly veggies and turkey. Unfortunately I still felt like death warmed over and was still spending huge sums of money on natural remedies that only enabled me to survive.

Eight months ago I began to see Dr. David and it turns out I was allergic to about 95% of what I was eating including the turkey and veggies. In addition to foods, I had major environmental and seasonal allergies. In addition to these Dr. David has cleared me of allergies to things like soap, shampoo, shaving cream, marker, pencil, fabric softener, detergent, dry erase marker, chalk, oils, perfumes, and air fresheners, just to name a few. I was reacting to everything I was coming in contact with.

Since seeing Dr. David, I have been eating normally and gaining weight. I am spending 1/10th of the money on chiropractic and other treatments and I feel far better than I have in years. I do not suffer from chronic fatigue and my joints and muscles feel better every week. The NAET treatment was a God send for me and I know it is responsible for allowing me to live a normal life for the first time in 20 years.
