הסיפור של ג'יימס- נער עם MCS שנעזר
במכשיר הביקום- והוא היה כמעט הדבר היחיד שעזר לו, מחוץ לדיאטהוניקוי סביבתי... ג'יימס, בדומה ליהונתן שלי ובדומה ליותם גלילי, הוא ילד עם רגישויות רבות לכימיקלים. הוא מאוסטרליה, אבל התיאור הוא דומה להפליא לסיפורים שלנו... מכשיר הביקום מתואר בסיפור. הנה קטע: My young sons' health was damaged by chemicals - in particular pesticides and herbicides - he was affected both mentally and physically - (he did also have a violent reaction to his infant vaccinations (4 months of age) and we now know they have neurotoxic chemicals such as formaldehyde, aluminium, thiomersal (a mercury compound) phenol etc. etc. as stabilizers and preservatives. James had a major exposure to pesticide as an infant, also in grade 2 when we had a flea plague here and it was downhill from there yet again - he continued to have exposures at school - I had no idea they were pesticiding fogging the trees and around the class rooms and even the bag and hat racks - rooms treated for termites - probably chlorpyrifos I would think - he was getting sicker and sicker and his behaviour continued to deteriorate - he was violent and psychotic - and the medications (there were a lot ) made him more toxic - there is so much I want to tell you but it is too involved - he has been out of school for 4 years, we live in isolation from the community and family as there are chemicals and chemical perfumed products everywhere - we live virtually couped up in our house - I am hoping one day we will be able to buy some acreage so James can start having some life - and be able to go outside without fear of smelling some chemical or fragrance which makes him ill. Also the schools use herbicides as unfortunately my neighbours - as well as them having their houses pesticided - James was trialled on about 10 different medications from as an infant tofranil, anafranil, catapress, ritalin (which made him develop hallucinations and toxic psychosis and involuntary ticks - I can remember he was sitting on his bed in the middle and spitting all around his bed and in the bathroom screaming he had spiders all over him - it was horrific and this was only a fraction of his suffering - his ocd was worsening - I had to wash clothing 20 or more times before he would wear it - and even then some he wouldn't wear - his sock seams and shoe laces had to be perfect and his hand washing was out of control - his hands were cracked and bleeding -James was very autistic in his behavior - hiding under furniture - covering his ears and shutting his eyes - he was sound and light sensitive - he would vomit a lot - gastic - sick all the time and the damage meurologically was pathetic - his behaviour was appalling - violent - abusive - destructive - and suicidal because he hated the way he was - no-one accepted him - no-one liked him - the entire family could not accept him - thank God my husband and I loved him because nobody else on God's earth did - I think that destroyed me more than anything - I was completely heartbroken and I still am today - I am so angry because these deadly neurotoxic pesticides are everywhere and the vast amount of populations are kept in sheer ignorance as to their human destruction . He was also trialled on dexamphetamine - as a very young child also melerril and the last one trialled was the resperidone (anti-psychotic) - I was noticing his chemical sensitivities getting worse and he was getting sicker and sicker - after 14 months on this last drug - I said enough and against the doctor's wishes - I took him off it over 2 weeks - he had major psychotic episode - so doctor said put him back on it - I was not happy - I rang the drug manufacturer (I might add that this drug should not have been prescribed for a child under 15 - James was 10 at this time ) and they had no guidelines for withdrawal of the drug - so I had to think and decided to take 2 or more months - slowly reducing the dose and I successfully got him off it - James is one of the many multi -millions of victims globally suffering the health effects of exposures to neurotoxic pesticides/ insecticides and the many other toxic chemicals in our societies. A Doctor trained in the field of Environmental Medicine was James' only chance of any kind of improvement/recovery. The bicom treatments gave James considerable improvement, as did the many years of detoxifying, desensitizing and vitamin, minerals etc., and the avoidance of chemical exposures were/are all crucial to his improvements. He had bleeding intestines, leaking gut, vomited a lot, gastric a lot, excruciating headaches, sensitive eyes and hearing, skin irritation and sores, constant ear infections, chest infections, chronic asthma, red ears, black rings around his eyes, bruising on his body, painful joints would have uncontrollable rage outbursts, scream in pain, cry in absolute despair and collapse and sleep, he could tear the place apart in his rage outbursts which we could not control, he would seriously hurt himself and us and the house was trashed, he would be suicidal in his thoughts as he hated what was happening to him. Some of his reactions would last up to 4 days, and sometimes he would have 20 reactions (outburst) per day. His mainstream medical diagnoses (which were labels for chemical brain injury &* chemical sensitivity) were: obsessive compulsive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, parent/child conflict disorder, anxiety disorder, depressive disorder, speech and language disorder, chronic and severe asthma, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, aspergers syndrome (high functioning autism). Prescribed medications certainly made his sensitivities much worse and also particularly the neuroleptic medications he was prescribed - the side effects and increased and widened chemical sensitivities were worsening. Just before he really deteriorated seriously I had a pesticide exposure with him and I recall, even though I had no idea at the time, that I cried non-stop for three years and was Prozac treated for Major Depressive Illness (if only I had known this was one of the many illness one can suffer from exposures to neurotoxic pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, etc. My son was so physically ill and mentally ill from the neurotoxic chemicals and these neuroleptic and other medications made him much worse, he needed to detoxify in a completely chemical free environment, which was six years at home.
