NERVE AGENTS

BIOCHEMICAL AGENTS/TOXINS

SOURCES OF TOXINS-TOXINS ARE NATURALLY PRODUCED BY BACTERIA AND FUNGI.

MACHANISMS OF TOXINS-TOXINS AFFECT THE BODY THROUGH MACHANISMS WHICH

CAUSE REACTIONS SIMULAR TO NERVE,BLISTER,VOMITING, AND CHOKING AGENTS.

NEUROTOXINS WILL INDUCE NERVE AGENT LIKE SYMPTOMS. THESE POSTSYNAPTIC

NEUROTOXINS CAUSE ION CHANNEL PERMEABILITY. CONVULSIONS AND

PINPOINTING OF PUPILS ARE THE MOST NOTICEABLE SYMPTOMS. PRESYNAPTIC

INHIBITORS BLOCK THE RELEASE OF ACETYICHOLINE, SYMPTOMS ASSOCIATED

WITH THESE ARE FLACCID OR LIMP PARALYSIS, BLURRED VISION, LIGHT

SENSATIVITY,TREMORS,AND CONFUSED BEHAVIOR.

Tell Me about it I'm having these same problems.

Several of the tremerogenic mycotoxins are irreversible inhibitors of

acetylcholinesterase.

Yes, just like the major nerve gases like sarin, etc.

That can mean a lot of things, NONE of them good.

Ask your doctor what permanently altering a major neurotransmitter system

involved in memory, gut motility, autonomic nervous system, immune response,

etc. will do. It will turn somebody into one of us, unable to get medical

care anywhere under the six minuite per patient 'insurance' system.

Words don't describe how difficult it is..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetylcholinesterase_inhibitor

Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor

An acetylcholinesterase inhibitor or anti-cholinesterase is a chemical

that inhibits the cholinesterase enzyme from breaking down

acetylcholine, so increasing both the level and duration of action of

the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.

Uses

Anticholinesterase inhibitors occur naturally as venoms and poisons,

are used as weapons in the form of nerve agents, and are used

medicinally to treat diseases such as myasthenia gravis and

Alzheimer's disease, and as an antidote to anticholinergic poisoning.

In myasthenia gravis, they are used to increase neuromuscular

transmission.

Abstract Territrem B (TRB), a fungal metabolite isolated from

Aspergillus terreus, potently and noncompetitively inhibited

Electrophorus acetylcholinesterase (AChE EC 3.1.1.7), but had no

inhibitory effect on horse serum butyrylcholinesterase (BtChE EC

3.1.1.8). The TRB-treated AChE did not recover its enzyme activity

after either dialysis or dilution of the inhibited enzyme. The binding

of [14C]TRB to AChE, but not to BtChE, was demonstrated. The

concentrations of territrems required for 50% inhibition of AchE were:

TRA 2.4 × 10–8 M; TRB 1.9 × 10–8 M; TRC 1.5 × 10–8 M; TRAprime 9.8 ×

10–8 M; TRBprime 9.2 × 10–8 M.

Key Words Territrem - Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor

Everyone,

Please keep us in your prayers, we are travelling north to possibly get

a log cabin to live in. it will be a campground environment, public

bathrooms etc, but if it is mold free it will be worth it. how does

$275/month sound, all utilities and wireless access provided! One room, but

it is bigger than a tent and more weather resistant.

Hope all goes well,

Dan

You, along with everyone else, remain in my prayers each night. The log

cabin sounds good as well as the cost.

Take good care and God Speed to all of you,

Sue

Imagine what would happen if some hypothetical common microogranism

(let's call it Sarchy) was able to produce the sarin nerve gas.

Perhaps we would hear statements like these:

" It is true that Sarchy can produce sarin nerve gas. However, there is

still no conclusive proof that, if found in buildings, it can cause

anything else except allergy in susceptible individuals, coughing or

sneezing. "

" Nerve damage and serious toxic effects were reported after some

individuals were exposed to Sarchy's biotoxins. However there is still

absolutely no sufficient scientific data to support the theory that

small quantities of sarin can adversely affect humans. All these

reports contain serious scientific errors and should be reexamined.

Starchy has been around for millions of years and we've adapted to it. "

" There is quite a lot of hysteria and misinformation about Starchy and

its biotoxin sarin nerve gas. Although sarin is very poisonous and

lethal, that applies only to biowarfare situations and quantities. We

can afford to breathe a little bit of sarin every day and feel fine.

There's nothing wrong with sarin. In fact sarin is probably good for

strengthening your immune system. All those individuals who claim they

sustained serious injuries or death due to endogenous sarin are simply

liars and are interested in making money through lawsuits. "

Would that fly? Probably yes, just as it's the case today with Stachy

and its toxins.

As I see it, the main problem is that we have to deal with a very real

and very serious nerve poisons (mycotoxins). But, since these toxins

are produced by ubiquituous microogranisms like mold - usually due to

bad building or maintenance protocols - their impact on us is

downplayed on purpose. If mycotoxins could be synthesised only in a

laboratory, toxins such as Satratoxin, T-2 toxin etc. would be banned

and considered weapons of war - which they already are. We are

unfortunate to be at the level of sensitivity that enables us to

perceive and suffer from these toxins in much lower quantities than

other people. And each year more and more sick buidings seem to sprout

everywhere. Really bad luck.

Best of luck to you as you continue on your journey! I hope things go well and

the cabin gives your family a safe environment.
