How heavy metal and biotoxin binding works and the key areas in the brain that can be affected by these toxins as well as chronic pathogenic infiltration.
When a biotoxin or heavy metal enters the body through inhalation, digestion, transmission or injection, it is tagged, identified and broken down by the immune system and hopefully eliminated through the blood, lymph, colon, kidneys, liver and skin. If a person has a suppressed or damaged immune system, the biotoxins and heavy metals may not be properly tagged, and the body may struggle to remove it. Toxins, metals and other nano size objects and substances may end up in the body permanently circulating in the blood and most end up attaching to the brain and neurological tissue, thereby affecting nerve cell function. They also can attach to any kind of cell in the body located in the joints, organs and soft tissue, etc. This process causes a cascading effect of the body’s inflammatory pathways. Increased cytokine pro-inflammatory production can cause chronic neurological and systemic inflammation. Over time there may be localized damage in key areas, leading to a labeled disease process.
Let’s now look at several key areas of the brain that can be infected with both heavy metal toxicity and biotoxin toxicity. Each area in the brain controls key behavior and physiological processes. Any instigator of inflammation in these areas will cause a slow damaging effect to occur. This process becomes a chronic dominate pattern in many people’s bodies. Eventually many good-natured people end up in limbo about as to what is behind the symptoms and are accepting a money driven disease label that best fits their symptoms. They usually fall into the fatal trap of long-term symptom control. This approach and way of looking at it is so shortsighted, as it never seems to address the causes while many patients see little upside to their health conditions. This way of doing healthcare is called disease management, which is how our mainstream healthcare system operates. Let’s dissect the brain to see how each key brain area are potential hiding place for these toxins is to preside in. Once in residence, it can cause chronic inflammation and progressive damage leading to pathological changes over time. A disease label will always follow that best fits your symptoms.
Brain broken up into key centers: The areas that are affected or infected will determine what your symptomology and disease process looks like.
Limbic system: While the limbic system was initially suggested to be the sole neurological system involved in regulating emotion, it is now considered only one part of the brain to regulate visceral (internal organs) and autonomic (automatic nervous system) processes. In general, the limbic system assists in various processes relating to cognition, including spatial memory, learning, motivation, emotional processing and social processing. The limbic system includes the hippocampus below.
Hippocampus: Your hippocampus is a small part of your brain that helps with learning and memory. It converts short-term memories into long-term ones by organizing, storing and retrieving memories within your brain. The hippocampus is part of your limbic system. This is a group of brain structures that regulate your smells, emotions, memories and autonomic behaviors (such as heart rate, breathing, sweating, etc.) The hippocampus works closely with other areas of your brain that need the information that your hippocampus creates and stores. Your hippocampus and amygdala work together to store memories in your brain and connect memories to emotions, which generate an emotional response. The hippocampus is connected to the hypothalamus and amygdala (below). Your hippocampus is working with surrounding brain structures, especially those within your limbic system to tell you to get away from possible danger, or to relax, it is safe. Your hippocampus targets your short-term memory. This is why someone with a damaged hippocampus might remember things that happened long ago but won’t remember the names of people they just met.
What happens if the hippocampus is damaged?
The most common cause of damage is an underlying chronic inflammatory condition that can affect the hippocampus functioning. Slow to remember specific moments or process information like names, dates, places and events.
Common conditions and mental processes that are related to your hippocampus include:
- Alzheimer’s Disease
- Dementia
- Epilepsy
- Holding a conversation.
- Making decisions.
- Following directions or instructions.
- Navigating familiar places.
- Recalling where you left common items.
- Remembering the answer to a question you just asked.
- Creating new memories.
Amygdala: A key center of the brain that has to deal with your perception of fear and aggression and how that is played out depending on your conscious and unconscious memories. It’s the rein check part of the brain that determines if a threat is real or not. It connects emotions to memories, so the past experiences have an impact on your behavior. The amygdala has connections to the hippocampus above. A damaged amygdala may cause symptoms of excess fear and aggression. A person may act out of context compared to a normal emotional response.
Ralphe nuclei: Nuclei (nerve cell cluster) positioned in the brainstem throughout the midbrain, pons, and medulla. These nuclei contain primarily serotonergic neurons, which release serotonin as well as synaptic connections. Serotonin generation comes from L-tryptophan via a two-step process with the subsequent release of serotonin. The serotonin reuptake transporter (SERT) modulates behavioral and emotional functioning, including mood regulation, memory, and sleep-wake cycle. A damaged Ralphe Nuclei may have issues with depression, sleep and focus.
Substantia Negra: Location of dopamine and Gaba receptors. Parkinsons Disease is involved with this area of the brain. Damaged receptors from either invasive toxins or pathogenic influences can cause or contribute to Parkinson’s like symptoms by affecting speech and muscle movement. Gaba inhibits or redirects activity in brain cells. It has a calming effect on the brain. Disease in the substantia Negra that affects Gaba receptors will lead to over stimulating mental activity or issues with muscles and speech.
Thalamus: Translates nerve impulses from different receptors to the brain. As a sensory relay in vision, hearing, somatic sensory and gustatory connections. It also plays a significant role in emotions, memory, arousal and sleep. Damage to the thalamus may affect your sleep, hearing and vision issues.
Cognitive system: A decrease of serotonergic input to the limbic system has been the longstanding and primary model for the pathogenesis of major depression. Decreased synthesis of serotonin, low-affinity binding to post-synaptic receptors, rapid degradation of serotonin all carry links to clinical depression. While the pathogenesis of depression is understood to be multifactorial in most patients, this is only one example of a cause of depression. Many more are probable.
Reticular activating system is responsible for:
- Regulating wakefulness and sleep-wake transitions.
- Maintaining alertness or arousal.
- Regulating sleep-wake cycles.
- Controlling functions such as sleep, motivation, and breathing
Medulla Oblongata: Major blood pressure regulator by controlling the dilation and constriction of blood vessels. Has a major effect on heart rate and breathing. Issues with the medulla could affect blood pressure causing spikes as well as sudden heart rate influxes and acute breathing issues. Infection or toxins in the medulla can cause your blood pressure to surge unexpectantly or show chronic high readings.
Pituitary gland: Receives hormones from Hypothalamus. Called the master gland as it produces hormones that control the homeostasis of the body. A malfunctioning pituitary gland may overproduce or underproduce hormones causing systemic dysregulation of hormone delivery status. When inflammation occurs in this gland there will be issues with hormone output.
Pineal gland: Also called the third eye produces melatonin which supports the sleep cycle. Melatonin also has other diverse effects on the body that support immune system and much more. A malfunctioning pineal gland would interfere with melatonin synthesis causing sleep issues. The third eye helps to connect you to your spiritual source and intuitive self. A toxic pineal gland may cause you to find it harder to connect with the source.
