Thank you for sharing your journey. You home sounds very healthy. It's nearly impossible to get rid of all toxins. Being obsessed about 'everything' reduces quality of life. We want to be educated and cautious, but we have to find balance somewhere too, or what is the point? ~sigh
There's new scalar energy type 'healing' therapies, and prayer.
Yes, prayer especially, and I have investigated several healing therapies, though not that particular approach. I have experienced a great deal of healing over time, which has made possible a much fuller life, especially as a series of brain functions switched on at different stages of life.
Paul sets an example in 2 Cor. 12:7-10. I'm not doing the kind of work that Paul did, but I can still learn from his lesson. The importance of weakness and suffering is a theme in Jesus' teachings. These things are not to be avoided. Enduring them leads to spiritual maturity, completion, perfection.
2Cor. 12:7 Because of the extraordinary greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me—to keep me from exalting myself! 8 Concerning this I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might leave me. 9 And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. 10 Therefore I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in distresses, in persecutions, in difficulties, in behalf of Christ; for when I am weak, then I am strong.
Thank you for your post on Toby's substack, and for your in-depth reply/post here. A person on the spectrum - who functions well, sounds similar to a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) as defined by Dr Elaine Aron. https://hsperson.com/ What a richly diverse bunch of humans we are!
Yes, I am familiar with her work, and I know others that have benefited from it. I experience some of those things, and quite a few others as well.
One of the more interesting books I have read lately is _Crooked: Man-Made Disease Explained_ by Forrest Maready. The author is an observer, kind of like me, and not a specialist, but he seems to be noticing things that nobody else I have come across has noticed. It is especially interesting how he associates damage to various cranial nerves with specific symptoms.
I have long been trying to understand what goes wrong for me in unstructured social situations. I can do fine as long as I have a job and I stay focused on it, but unstructured situations are a problem. Afterward, I often don't fully understand the outcome, although I can list some of the things I forgot to do or shouldn't have done.
My best guess is that without a focus, the sensory inputs can come to be overwhelming, especially with sound and light. The overload affects my short-term memory, which is already flaky because of an endocrine disorder, and I tune out, so that the sensory information is largely blocked. It seems to be a matter of not being able to readily distinguish signal from noise. The endocrine disorder is a whole other set of problems. Co-morbidity, they call it.
Looking at it in terms of Maready's account of cranial nerve function and dysfunction, and the effects on hearing and seeing, it all begins to make sense. Another problem with pronunciation points to two other cranial nerves.
Other issues outside the head are potentially traceable too, such as not wanting to be touched, and difficulties with handwriting.
Maready has no qualms about pointing to childhood vaccines as a likely major cause of this kind of damage. There are also other possibilities, however, and though there was less vaccination going in 1950 when I was born, there were other things that happened that did enough damage, before and at birth, to eventually result in a diagnosis.
I have no doubt that what happened to me was iatrogenic. I remember nothing about my birth, of course, but my father told me about it, finally, after I obtained the diagnosis. My parents had been waiting for 19 years to see if the symptoms would just go away.
I've read Maready's research about vaccine injuries. The aluminum and mercury in vaccines is ridiculous, and the accumulation of ALL the toxins in ALL the childhood doses wreck havoc for sure! In 12 years of my own research, I know that ZERO vaccines have ever been proven safe or effective. ZERO! EVER! I have a home day care and helped a couple 'recover' their 8 month old son from vax injury. They connected the dots to him being vax-injured at his 4 month shots, which according to CDC schedule is currently 9 toxic cocktail doses! His sucking reflex stopped, and they had to have a stomach tube inserted for supplemental feeding. He would eat chopped apple, and then foods were added with lots of 1 on 1 attention and TLC. Have you read Brain Allergies by William Philpott? https://archive.org/details/brainallergiesps00phil He helped schizophrenics by testing for allergens and vitamin deficiencies, and treating accordingly. His patients had complete reversals. Have you looked into hair mineral analysis per Dr Larry Wilson? https://drlwilson.com/Articles/AUTISM.htm I've been an HSP my whole life, as far back as I can remember anyway. I was born in 1958, had the 4 or 5 vaxxes recommended at the time, and I was extremely healthy until 55 years later, when I developed electrical-hypersensitivity (EHS) and multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS). Symptoms were brain fog, insomnia, poor memory, extreme anxiety, hyperacusis, tinnitus, sensitivity to odors/fragrances of all kinds, and to light, noise, crowds, emotions of others, electricity, WiFi, magnetic fields. My hair analysis revealed toxic high copper, and a tad of aluminum (ANY aluminum is too much), and a few other imbalances.
I changed my water and food, took some mineral supplements, shielded my home from EMFs, and after just 8 months I went to sleep to the sweet sound of silence for the first time in 7 years. My next lab analysis showed my copper was reduced to a 'normal' level, aluminum reduced but not completely eliminated, and all the calming minerals were increased to a 'normal' level. I felt better than I had in about 7 years! Detoxing heavy metals, and balancing mineral ratios is essential for health. If mineral ratios are in balance, hormones will be in balance. Our bodies are amazingly well-designed to function optimally when they haven't been 'poisoned' and do have the correct raw materials. The Introverts Way by Sophia Dembling is one of my top 5 favorite books I've read in the last 3 years! Amazing! A total stranger wrote a whole book about my life!! lol!
Thank you for the book recommendations. I've read many, but I am always keeping an eye open for more that might be helpful.
We take a fair number of precautions here. We have a reverse osmosis system under the kitchen sink, and air cleaners around the house. The ones in my office and bedroom have special filters now after I had problems with allergies to the cats, and they work. My Internet is wired, not wi-fi. We have a "sleep switch" for the bedrooms that shuts off power in that part of the house except for a couple of heater outlets, and an EMI filter that helps with dirty electricity coming in over the mains. We also have EMI filters scattered around the house. It all helps, I guess.
We are growing our own vegetables. At least we know what they were grown in, and that they are fresh. On the other hand, I finally spotted my first chemtrail-spraying jet this morning, some miles south of the house. With that crud coming down, nothing's safe.
I have been dealing with an array of health issues all my life, and I suspect I am drawing close to the end. There is no simple fix. Things are still working, though, mostly, and I work with an MD remotely to keep an eye on my labs, on a cash subscription basis. I wouldn't go near my regular clinic now unless it was an emergency, and I've told them so. I fired my cardiologist in 2021 for trying to get me to kill myself with you-know-what, and I went off of all pharmaceuticals. Life is better now. Those poisons were keeping me from losing weight and since I got rid of them I'm down by 50 pounds and have steady weight now.
I have reason to believe, based upon symptoms, though there is no way to know for sure, that my mother was given an endocrine disrupter while she was carrying me, that messed with my endocrine system. I wasn't able to have children, and my mother died in her mid-50's from cancer, and there are other indications, but I'll stop there. I have an undersized pituitary, and a number of pituitary-associated health issues. Then there are the hereditary health issues. I did not expect to live this long, but here I am. I still experiment with dietary interventions, but they don't have much visible effect. There's too much that is broken, and I am tired of fooling with all this stuff.
It's been an interesting life, full of discoveries. I'm not complaining, much. I still work part time, and there are church things to do, especially choir, but a range of things from Bible studies to technical jobs. I warn people about things, and sometimes they look at me like I'm crazy. So what. And then there's that follow-on post to finish writing. I'd probably better be getting to bed.
