Chlorine and calcification

BALDNESS AND CALCIFICATION OF
THE “IVORY DOME”

Some questions concerning baldness which
were raised by Dr. Ballenger’s comments in The Journal,
June 27, may be answered by observations which I made
while serving as technician in gross anatomy at the College of
Medicine of the University of Illinois (1916-1917). I then had
occasion to remove the brains of about 80 cadavers for separate
use in the neurology classes and incidentally noted a seemingly
obvious relation between the blood (vessel) supply to the scalp
and the quantity of hair. Baldness occurred in persons in whom
calcification of the skull bones apparently had not only firmly
knitted the cranial sutures but also closed or narrowed various
small foramens through which blood vessels pass, most prominently
in persons with a luxuriant crop of hair. These blood
vessels are mainly veins which normally communicate with the
diploic veins in the spongy tissue of the skull bones but which
are evidently pinched off by calification of the foramens. Various
stages of this process of impairing the blood circulation of
the scalp could be observed.

Coronaries/Cholesterol/Chlorine
During the 1960s Dr. Joseph Price wanted to know why cardiovascular heart disease, such as heart attacks, strokes, and atherosclerosis, had become so prevalent during this time when prior to 1900 it was virtually non-existent. In his book Coronaries/Cholesterol/Chlorine published in 1969 he said, “that something has dramatically changed in the last six to seven decades of human history.” Dr. Price felt that there was some sort of environmental factor that was being overlooked by the medical community contributing to the development of atherosclerosis.

NOTE: Atherosclerosis is when the large and medium sized arteries develop plaques on the inner layers of the walls where lesions or tears occur. These plaques are made up of cholesterol, other blood fats called lipids, blood platelets and other clotting factors such as fibrinogen, or protein nets, and cellular debris. As the muscle cells in the artery wall enlarge in the affected area and the plaque continues to form, blood flow diminishes to the organs normally supplied by the artery. Also, due to the hardening of the plaque, or calcification from calcium being deposited with the fats, there is a risk of pressure from blood flow breaking off a piece of the plaque which can travel to various parts of the body causing a blockage.

Dr. Price further comments in his book, “Chlorination gained relatively wide acceptance in the second decade of this century (20th century) and in the third decade (1920's) it was found that satisfactory killing of organisms was dependent upon a residual of chlorine in the water above the amount necessary to react with organic impurities. When it was remembered that evidence of clinical disease from atherosclerosis takes 10-20 years to develop, it becomes evident that there is a correlation between the introduction and widespread application of chlorination of water supplies and the origin and increasing incidence of heart attacks that is exceedingly difficult to explain away.”

Dr. Price Presents Evidence from Around the World
Japan:
When the doctor looked at people from around the world he discovered that the Japanese people who have a very low rate of heart attack, one-sixth that of the United States, develop atherosclerosis, or blockage of the arteries by cholesterol and other fat deposits, when they move to Hawaii and drink chlorinated water. (It’s interesting to note that when the Japanese where rebuilding their cities after the war they installed water purification systems using chlorine recommended by the American engineers who were assisting. Prior to this time they had never used it. Not soon after this the Japanese medical community began to notice that the Japanese people were starting to have a lot of cardiovascular health issues, namely heart attacks. Their investigation led them to chlorine as the source of the causative factor. They discontinued the use of chlorine.

Africa:
In Africa, Dr. Price found people that even though they ate a diet very high in fat and cholesterol, but who did not drink chlorinated water, did not get heart attacks.

Ireland:
Another physician, Dr. Paul Dudley White, mentioned by Dr. Price, noted that Irish farm workers who drank their own well water free of chlorine never suffer from coronary heart disease.

Young Men and Advanced Arterial Disease
Dr. Price commented on the findings of Dr. William Enos who lead a team of physicians to autopsy 300 American soldiers who died in the Korean war. The average age of the deceased soldiers were 22.1 years. All were examined before their induction and found to be healthy. The autopsies revealed that 77% of the 300 soldiers had, “gross evidence of atherosclerosis ("hardening" of the arteries caused by the formation of multiple plaques) in the coronary arteries.” In some of the soldiers the one or more arteries of the heart were partly or completely occluded, or blocked. Dr. Enos and the team of physicians explanation of their findings was that these young men had the early development of “degenerative-disease.”

In other words they felt that this unusual and severe development of coronary heart disease in such young healthy men in such a short period of time was just a natural development of degeneration not attributed to anything they may have been exposed to or ingested.

However, note the comments of Dr. Price, “If you ask any man who served in that war he will tell you that the water in Korea for our soldiers was so heavily chlorinated for sanitary reasons that it was almost undrinkable... Apparently, there is a direct causal correlation between the amount of chlorine ingested and the speed and degree of development of atherosclerosis.”

PLEASE NOTE: American soldiers in Vietnam, just like the ones in the Korean war, drank heavily chlorinated water as well. And their autopsies revealed the same sort of severe artery damage and atherosclerosis in a short period of time.

Chlorine and Heart Problems
In a book called Poisoning by Dr. W. F. von Oettingen on page 72 he has this to say on chlorine, “It has been claimed that injury of the mitral valve (of the heart) and cardiac (heart) insufficiency may result from severe exposure to chlorine, or carbon monoxide. Coronary thrombosis, characterized by palpitation, irregularities of the heart beat, and anxiety, has been reported in poisonings with chlorine, carbon monoxide and ferric chloride.” (A chlorine compound.)

In his statement the doctor is referring to a severe exposure to chlorine. As we already noted the young soldiers who were examined during induction and were certified healthy before going to war in Korea and Vietnam did have severe exposer to chlorine in a short period of time. Based on what they know about the effects of severe chlorine exposure to the cardiovascular system and how much the soldiers drank in such a short period of time, one can conclude that the main cause of their heart disease was the chlorinated water.

Heart Attacks in the United States Since 1908
When chlorination of water supplies first began in 1908 in the United States it wasn’t until 10 to 20 years later that heart attacks first began to increase. That’s because unlike the soldiers in the Korean and Vietnam Wars who drank very high concentrations of chlorinated water, causing a faster rate of developing plaques on the blood vessel walls within a year or less, the public water supplies had much lower amounts which produced a slower rate of developing plaques over a 10 to 20 year period.

Dr. Price’s Result of an Experiment Using Chlorinated Water
In his book, Coronaries/Cholesterol/Chlorine, Dr. Price reveals the results of an experiment he conducted with several hundred healthy young chickens separated into two groups. One group drank from water with chlorine and the other group used water without chlorine. Both groups were raised until they had reached complete maturity. The birds were then autopsied revealing that every chicken in the group that drank the chlorinated water had some level of cardiovascular disease, and the ones without the chlorinated water had no signs. It was also noted that when the amount of chlorine was increased in the water of the chickens who drank it, the severity of destruction to the cardiovascular system was more severe and occurred sooner.

Observation of the chickens while they were maturing revealed that the birds without the chlorinated water grew faster, larger and were far healthier, while the chickens that drank the chlorinated water under winter conditions displayed outward signs of poor circulation, shivered, had drooping feathers, and a reduced level of activity. Due to Dr Price’s experiment most of the large poultry producers today provide water without chlorine for the chickens.

Dr. Price’s Conclusion on the Safety of Chlorine
After studying the results of chlorine on living tissue Dr. Price states in his book that, “nothing can negate the incontrovertible fact, the basic cause of atherosclerosis and resulting entities such as heart and stroke, is chlorine.” https://livewellnaturally.com/HN_articles/health-nutrition-info/chlorine-crippler-and-Killer.html

Or distilled water. I actually prefer distilled water, however it's not always possible.

He said: 'There were two parts to our research. The first is that drinking silicon water does remove aluminium from the body.

'When you drink silicon-rich mineral water aluminium throughout the body is gathered up into the blood and then excreted through the urine.

'It seems to purge the aluminium from the body. We now know we can use this silicon-rich "therapy" water to reduce aluminium.

'The second part of our research was looking at the cognitive abilities of people with Alzheimer's and whether these changed as the aluminium was reduced.

'The most interesting thing was that we did see this potential relationship between the removal of aluminium and the positive improvement in cognitive function

...The patients saw a huge reduction in their aluminium levels, with a number showing drops of 50, 60 and 70 per cent.

I tried the dermaroller over temples back in 2009 and didn’t see any benefit or so little benefit that I didn’t continue.  


I actually did this long time ago without cutting the skin and it was temporarily beneficial.  Maybe helpful for a week or so.  Can even use a vacuum over entire scalp, lol.

I did cut the skin with razor and diabetic lancets on other areas of body years ago and can say the blood that came out was in fact very bad and sludge.   I can see how this could be helpful and much better than needling IMO.  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MPi5qP1V4ew

I think what I’m trying to say is If you were going to use a dermaroller over bald areas might as well get one of these at the same time.  https://www.ebay.com/itm/6Cups-Pump-Vacuum-Cupping-Acupuncture-Hijama-Chinese-Therapy-Treatment-Suction/132854458309?hash=item1eeebe27c5:g:NrcAAOSwnh5b6opl

Jdp710 wrote:Fwiw I’ve changed my drinking water recently.  For 20 years drank ro water at supermarket which does carbon twice, ro and uv light.  Used glass 3 gallon jugs.  

Well, I learned was benefits of certain bottled waters such as say fiji water.  I now add some fiji water to the ro water and I believe this is best method for me.  I now only drink about 2/3 as much water as use to and feel stronger.

Downside it’s a plastic bottle.

One thing recommended is massaging magnesium oil into scalp.

Magnesium is a natural combatant of calcium. It helps to slow calcium production and build up, and has even been shown to completely stop the production of calcium build up on blood vessel walls. Additionally, magnesium supplementation can lead to the reversal of vessel wall calcification.

For best results, I suggest applying magnesium oil directly to the scalp. For adults, one fluid ounce massaged into the scalp for 10 minutes, 3-5 fives times per week seems to be most beneficial.

I don't think I have calcium buildup but I do have magnesium oil, so why not

I also use an apple cider vinegar rinse.  And I rarely use shampoo.  

I favor baths rather than showers.  I put vitamin C in the bath water, it neutralizes chlorine and chloramine.

Vitamn K2 might be even better for mobilizing calcium than magnesium. Using them together sounds like a good idea.

Makes sense.  I was just researching chlorella and found that it is rich in K2, which I'd never heard before, but that's good news.

WheatKing wrote:I have been reading anecdotes of people experiencing jaw bone and facial bone growth (even height increases) after taking Vitamin K2. This is good for orthodontic (tooth crowding) and nasal septum (undeveloped septum) issues, apparently.

This is just a wild guess, but K2 could possibly downregulate DHT-induced bone resorbtion in the scalp, which could help with hair loss.

Growth hormone is interesting. Apparently, it doesn't make all bones in the face and skull grow, only some (intelligence design ) Perhaps Vitamin K2 would behave in a similar way, making men's jawbones brow grow a bit but leaving other structures alone (especially and hopefully the skull!).

Remember, Asian diets are high in K2 and they seem to have significanlty less hair loss than Westerners. It could be related.
