Re: A tale of two physicians: reflections on the Boston Marathon bombing
I did not know that the classic definition of a terrorist was “thin, malnourished, dehydrated, and addicted to nicotine, caffeine, sweets, and drugs; all of which lead to insatiable cravings, frustration, anger and violence.” Presumably, some are well nourished.
What the existing evidence does tell us is that the vast majority, if not all “home-grown” terrorists and especially the perpetrators of school shootings and bizarre murder/suicides, have in fact been high functioning autistics, ADHD and other behavioural problems sufferers, mentally ill, and invariably on prescription antidepressants, anti-psychotic and other mind/mood-altering medication. Not all, but some have also been alcoholics, drug users and smokers, but there has been no mention of them being excessive sugar eaters and/or coffee drinkers.
Product inserts of the above medications warn that they carry the risk of violent and inappropriate behaviour, and homicidal and suicidal ideation. These are the really important key conditions.
I also believe that Dr John Judkin’s description of sugar in his booklet “Sweet and dangerous” is misleading and little short of meaningless demonisation.
Judkin gathered his data in the late sixties and seventies characterised by increasing push for vaccination of ever younger babies and children. I believe he has mistaken reactions to vaccines for reactions to sugar.
Finally, our whole body system is run on sugar; different forms that we consume change into our own version of glucose. Human milk is high in sugar.
However, the really important key substance is insulin, in relation to which our dynamics decide what happens to the consumed sugar and carbohydrates in our bodies.
In 1979, Hannik and Cohen established that within 8 hours of the first DPT vaccines, with a pertussis component of 16 International Opacity Units per dose, a “slight but significant elevation in concentration of plasma insulin and temperature” was observed. Interestingly, they also wrote that there are no satisfactory laboratory methods of testing vaccines for reactivity before they are used in children. However, they also wrote that existing laboratory studies have shown that injections of pertussis vaccine into experimental animals affect carbohydrate and fat metabolism.
They continued by stating that observations of mixed reactions, a combination of screaming, shock and convulsions in a child strongly points to one toxic factor in the pertussis vaccine [pertussigen] and each of the various symptoms might be caused by hypoglycaemia. Low blood-sugar levels and extremely low CSF-glucose concentrations were reported in children who developed convulsions 3 and 36 hours after receiving the pertussis vaccine. Others demonstrated, that the state of hyperinsuliaemia could persist for a long time, and even into adulthood.
Zametkin et al. (1990. Cerebral glucose metabolism in adults with hyperactivity of childhood onset. NEJM; 323(20): 1361-1366) found that adults who had been hyperactive since childhood had reduced glucose metabolism in various areas of the brain, particularly the areas known to be associated with the regulation of attention and motor activity. Their study revealed significant deficits in cerebral glucose metabolism between hyperactive adults and normal adult controls, specifically in the regions on the brain important in the control of preparation for motor activity, motor activity itself, inhibition of inappropriate response, and attention. The areas of the greatest depression in glucose metabolism include, but are not limited to, the premotor and superior prefrontal regions. Disorders of the prefrontal regions often result in inattentiveness, distractibility and an inability to inhibit inappropriate responses (such as ticks in Tourette’s syndrome). The premotor cortex has a role in the preparation of specific voluntary movements especially the movement that depend on external cues.
Zametkin et al. (1990) noted differences in cerebral glucose metabolism between hyperactive adults and normal adult controls, specifically in the regions of the brain postulated to control the inhibition of inappropriate responses, and attention. Weiss (1990. Hyperactivity in childhood. (Editorial). NEJM; 323(2): 1413-1415) in his editorial dealing with Zametkin et al’s research wrote that ADHD is a common disorder among children, affecting eight times more boys than girls. 40% have a pattern of starting fights (bullying and violence) stealing, lying, defiance, rule breaking and oppositional behaviour. They hypothesised that poverty and chaotic family life are among the causes. However, such conditions have been prevalent for centuries and no ADHD and other prevalent ‘modern’ behavioural problems existed. Klein and Rapin’s (1990. Clinical assessment of pediatric disorders of higher cerebral function. Curr Probl Pediatr; 20(1): 1-60) classification of disorders of higher cerebral function includes schizophrenia, major or bipolar depression and mania.
There is consensus that such abnormal behaviours are increasing exponentially.
Hyperinsulinism of infancy has become a much discussed prevalent condition.
Stimulants and other behaviour/mood-modulating medications (amphetamines, antidepressants and antipsychotics) may have some short terms benefits, but based on the product information, in the long run their effects may be disastrous.
I only touched here the proverbial tip of the iceberg.
The upshot? Orthodox medicine, with its often unscientific attitude to natural biological dynamics and unrealistic assessment of the important role of natural infectious diseases in maintaining real health, not withstanding blindness to their real beneficial effects, is having highly destructive consequences on humanity’s very survival. The aggressive, and indeed unconstitutional and illegal, ways the modern medicine is advertising and effectively enforcing its toxic vaccines, and at times other medications, helped by the ignorant, often irresponsible, and naïve media, starting with useless and dangerous vaccines, is reminiscent of the totalitarian societies in the not so distant past.

I thank Dr Mann for his stimulating remarks.
