A new study reveals old news about mercury in fish.  It is amazing how through this information gets published nationally, people usually continue their destructive life-style, then wonder why they are dying prematurely and of horrible diseases.  Repeatedly we have heard how fish is good for us in many ways.  But concern is rising about seafood lovers consuming high doses of mercury and the illnesses it causes.  A study in San Francisco discovers high levels of toxic methyl mercury found commonly in blood and hair samples of men, women, and children.  Many were already suffering low level toxic symptoms of hair loss, fatigue, depression, difficulty in concentrating, headaches, and other neurological symptoms.  Environmental Health Perspectives, a journal of the National Institute of Health and the FDA advisory committee, recommended in July to research the risks related to canned tuna.  Of course, more research, more money, but what about the nation's health?  I am not encouraged at all by the concerned role playing.   

Tuna is the most consumed fish in the U.S. and the mercury in one can averages to about 0.17 parts per million. Doesn’t seem like much, but if you're pregnant and consume over two cans per week, you exceed safe levels of mercury.  This is a huge concern for pregnant women because the fetus has the most inert cells of the mother’s body. This is where most of the toxins would go.  The FDA recommends a limit of 12 ounces per week.  We know their limits are not really the safe ones! 

Mercury released from power plants, municipal waste facilities, and medical incinerators is the primary source of methyl mercury in fish.  Methyl mercury is an organic form of mercury that is different from the mercury in thermometers or what goes up smokestacks when coal is burned. 

Mercury is converted to methyl mercury by bacteria in water.  Amalgams, or metal fillings in teeth, are converted to methyl mercury by the bacteria in the human body.  So, when people are talking about mercury in fish, they’re really referring to toxic methyl mercury. It's dangerous to health is its hard for the body to eliminate, so it builds up and affects the nervous system.  Most humans are exposed to methyl mercury in fish consumption and metallic fillings in the teeth.  Studies show 45% to 55% of the metal alloys in teeth are mercury.  When a person clinches their teeth or chews food, methyl mercury is released, inhaled, and digested. 

The FDA ceased its "Large enough for mercury" sampling program in 1998, and today Federal agencies conduct only limited testing of fish for methyl mercury.  We do know that tuna contains methyl mercury. Studies show women ages 15 - 44 eat canned tuna 1.5 times a month, which is within FDA safety levels.  However, any level of the toxic chemical affects the human body and over time accumulates, resulting in serious complications, chronic disease, and sometimes death. 

The EPA has a reference dose that says people can be exposed to 0.1 micro gram per kilogram of body weight per day, which is roughly 5 to 7 micro grams per day for someone who weighs 100 to 154 lbs..  That’s about a 20% of the amount the FDA considers safe.

Fish that may have high levels of mercury are swordfish, shark, tile fish, King mackerel, and tuna.  Fish that generally have lower levels of mercury are salmon, flounder, cod, catfish, trout, Pollock, clams, shrimp, scallops, and lobster.

Please note that the Bible has always described what is healthy and not healthy to eat.  Science is now discovering what God’s word has always said only eat fish with scales and fins.  The fish listed above like a catfish, clams, lobster, etc., are not to be eaten.

Wow, what to a week! 
TKM through the grace of God has transformed the lives of this household.  It started on my return home from the last TKM training.  I saw a rainbow in the sky.  Now, when I see a rainbow I know God is talking and reminding me of the promise he made to Noah.

During the training, I felt there was a cleansing of the past and the start of a new, deeper relationship with God.  I felt like Jesus was with me during the training and I had not really realized it until later.  Wow!

Everyday since last Sunday I have worked two hours on my developmentally delayed son.  The #23 sequence seems to bring about the most profound results.  The first time I tried it, he did not feel well three quarters of the way through. His backed-up large intestine was trying to move things through, and not much later he had a bowel movement and felt better.

The #23 Sequence calmed his fears in the swimming pool.  His private swimming lessons were calmer and he was more focused and relaxed.  Praise God!

My daughter is amazed at my change due to TKM and God’s grace.  I’ve reduced my intake of refined sugar to a minimal amount.  My daughter says “Now THAT is proof that anyone can change.”
 
I continue to work on my son at least two hours almost every single day, and many days I work on him at least two and half hours. The results are profound!  He focuses better, listens and obeys better, and is less compulsory, to name only a few things. 

I work on a myself about one to one-and-a-half hours a day.  The increase in energy is astounding! 
I do not worry as much, my attitude is better, brain absorption has improved, and I am less stiff. 

I have so much more to share, but no time right now.  Thank you for serving my Lord Jesus!  God bless you!

It is so fun when one of those trumpet-sounding banner days happen regarding the children I work with. I have had one recently.  It’s about Carly, whom you started working with in July. I first saw Carly two years ago, when she was 3 years, 7 months old. She had major regressions following an MMR shot, and was very “autistic.” She had little to no eye contact and no verbal language. She engaged in visual sensory play continuously, rocked quite often, and was very obsessive in all that she did. She had little connection with her family, and almost no connection with anyone else.

I evaluated Carly every four months, since her initial evaluation, using the Neurodevelopmental Approach Model. Carly has shown some progress every four months, as the family has worked with her quite extensively. However consistent the progress was, there obviously were more underlying issues that needed to be addressed and worked on. I recommended the family begin working with you, utilizing TKM and individualizing her nutritional/metabolic needs through your nutritional expertise. Carly’s mother has always been on the forefront of nutritional intervention. She researched extensively for what would address the needs of her daughter’s autism. Carly was on what is considered the very best supplementation and diet possible. However good, it still wasn’t individualized.

In July, Carly and her mother began working with you directly. When I saw Carly in September, I was amazed at the changes she had made. In fact, she had never made so much progress in any four month period of time previously. As the evaluation progressed, I just kept getting more and more amazed and excited with what I was seeing.

This beautiful little girl had always been a real “wrestling” match for her mother. She was in constant and perpetual motion. Her mom had to literally follow her around and sometimes wrestle her back into the room we were working if she got out. This time, when she started walking away, her mother would call her. Carly would stop, look directly at her mom, smile, and come back. What a change!

Not only is she now following directions better (it had only been a rare moment when she would follow directions before), she is following more complex directions than I would have anticipated her ability to be. She is listening more to all that is going on around her. She is also showing much more desire to communicate and interact. Remarkably, desiring for interaction and communication is extending to others even outside of her family.

Her visual distractibility is greatly decreased and her eye contact is much improved. The eye contact is almost within normal parameters. Her focus and attention are extremely good - better than ever before. She is rarely using her peripheral vision, which had always been excessively enhanced.    She has begun to actually play with toys more appropriately. She is no longer “mouthing”, or putting things inappropriately in her mouth. All of her tactility, in fact, appeared normal!  That is quite outstanding for this little girl who experienced major sensory integration issues.

The final area of huge improvement I noted regarding Carly’s progress since July, her sound sensitivity is greatly diminished.  Rarely do I see progress of this magnitude in such a short period of time. It had been only two months since their trip to Dallas. It is thrilling to watch. Thank you for doing what you do.  Praise God!

Blessings,
Linda
