Click to visit VeggieCooking.com Multiple Sclerosis: The mercury/parasites model
[Posted 28 May 2004]
In alternative medicine, the main theory for the cause of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is mercury poisoning followed by a parasitic invasion of the nervous system, particularly the brain. There are other possible causes, which can be determined through laboratory testing for metals, pathogens, and toxins, but the mercury/parasite model is the most common.

Although many diseases can be treated successfully at home with alternative medicine, MS is one disease where a doctor's care is almost always necessary. First, lab work must be ordered to determine its actual cause (other than the "nobody knows" or "genetic" model still circulating among the allopathic or mainstream medical field). Then, treatment for the most common mercury/parasite model involves chelation therapy to remove the mercury, which can only be prescribed by a doctor, usually a naturopathic doctor (ND) or osteopath (DO). Practitioners such as herbalists can work with an ND or DO to have this chelation prescribed. The drug usually used for mercury chelation is very strong, as is needed for something as serious as MS, and it happens to chelate good metals from the body along with the bad. This is why all mineral levels must be closely monitored for a patient on chelation therapy, and supplements containing the "good" metals (selenium, zinc, magnesium, copper, etc.) are prescribed along with chelation. Often patients must be taken off of the chelation drug for periods of time, to allow the essential trace minerals to regain normal levels. This is something that should be overseen by a professional practitioner.

For the mercury/parasite cases of MS, parasites also need to be eliminated. Sometimes patients prefer to opt for Hulda Clark's zapper because of the speed of eradication. Others use herbs or drugs as prescribed by their doctor. According to the mercury/parasite model of this disease, mercury is a fat soluble metal. Because the brain is composed largely of fat, mercury follows the nerves up to the brain and stays there, happy in its fatty environment. Then, according to Hulda Clark's model of parasitic invasion of the brain, the positive charge of metals in the brain attracts parasites.

Mercury and parasites are considered to be the most common cause of this disease and can be treated, often with a partial or complete reversal of symptoms. There are other causes not related to mercury, for example aspartame poisoning sometimes results in similar symptoms. Obviously, a good diagnosis based on lab tests is needed before any method of treatment can be planned.

"I was struck down by Multiple Sclerosis in 1989 when I was 40 and was bedridden for a number of months. I could not feel my legs. They were just dead weight. My arms and hands were so numb and my coordination so poor that I could not feed myself or dress myself. I had excruciating nerve pain. Suffice it to say that I was in big trouble. I could no longer work."
-Ken Presner, http://zap.intergate.ca/sclerosi.html (quotation 24 May 2004)

One popular and fascinating case was that of a Canadian man who cured himself of MS, not only controlled but actually reversed his symptoms. His name was Ken Presner, and he became a sort of poster boy for the mercury/parasite model. He underwent chelation therapy, dental metal removal, and the usual methods of treatment for this disease, but became most famous when he decided to start experimenting with variations on Hulda Clark's design for a zapper. He eventually developed "The Ultimate Zapper", a zapper "improved with" AC power and other modifications. He also developed another liver cleanse called "The Ultimate Liver Cleanse", which he claims is an improvement on Clark's, helping to eliminate more gallstones. These are offered for sale on his web site. Some criticize him for profiting from his cure, but the fact remains that the man cured his own MS and uses his own zapper. Ken Presner's web site is very interesting, including a description of how he cured himself of supposedly terminal MS and Crohn's Disease, and came to experiment with zapper development. His page can be found here:
http://zap.intergate.ca/sclerosi.html

As with most patients who realize that effective cures are being suppressed from mainstream medicine due to profit motives, Presner became disillusioned with the medical establishment. Below is a quote from his speech to the MS society in 1997:

"It's no surprise that you will never hear the MS Society tell anyone to get tested for metal toxicity or mineral and DHEA deficiencies. This only involves simple blood and urine tests. Well, even simple lab testing is a threat to the MS Society. If people find that they are toxic and deficient, and they will, this would expose the Society. So the Society never utters the words "lab testing". They have a mission - to protect themselves and their friends at the College of Physicians and Surgeons and The College of Dental Surgeons whose livelihoods depend on the MS Society helping to perpetuate the lie about the safety of dental mercury. The Dental Industry generates billions of dollars every year in revenue. It cannot afford to have the MS Society oppose mercury. The dominos would start to fall. So, it makes sure the MS Society remains solidly pro-mercury. There is too much at stake here. The Dental Industry is totally corrupt and will do anything to retain its market and its power. And so will their friends at the MS Society."
- From Ken Presner's speech to the MS Society on 15 November 1997 in Vancouver, BC, Canada, http://zap.intergate.ca/speech.html

Although MS and mercury poisoning are two separate diseases, most MS cases include mercury toxicity. Mercury poisoning itself has different symptoms than MS, for example dentists have had higher suicide rates than the general population for decades, because one of the symptoms of mercury poisoning is depression. Depression isn't the same as MS, just another way mercury can affect the body. A good source on mercury poisoning is MercuryPoisoned.com. The woman who started the page, Marie Flowers, is an incredible woman who discovered and treated her own mercury poisoning, then decided to start a web site to help others with mercury problems. Her site includes information on mercury poisoning, such as the vaccine-autism link, shaken baby syndrome, etc.
