"vitamin" A Causes Cataracts: Connecting the Real-World Evidence ~6 yrs ago the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Company) came out with this ~5 min video segment on people in China w cataracts getting free surgeries, ORIGINAL version here (this becomes important later): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRFbUHcCRCo Quoted from 0:26 in: "For an aging rural population w the highest number of cataract sufferers in the world. No one knows exactly how many in China, though it's well in the tens of millions." You'll note the patients have many liver/age spots, bad skin in general, & most seem to have an orangish tint to their skin. Liver/age spots are lipofuscin accumulation, which is caused by toxic "vit" A accumulation, see my threads: The orange-ish skin is from excessive carotenoids aka "plant vitamin A" accumulating in their skin and subcutaneous fat Lipofuscin accumulates in the eye, and remember that retinyl is "vit" A: "Lipofuscin is a fluorescent material with significant phototoxic potential that accumulates with age in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) of the eye. It is thought to be a factor in retinal degeneration diseases. The most extensively characterized lipofuscin component, N-retinylidene-N-retinylethanolamine (A2E)" https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22417141/ Where might all this "vit" A come about in their diets? 🤔 Key quote from 4:07 in: "His mother dries sweet potatoes by the fire for dinner, it's the only vegetable they can grow here." Wouldn't it be strange then if someone in the Canadian media edited out the connection between very high-"vit" A food consumption a la sweet potatoes and the population with the world's highest rates of cataracts? Watch the same video on the CBC website, jump to 4:00 mark and watch the same part, watch for the change: https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/1131719747560 It has been edited to say: "...potatoes by the fire for dinner, it's the only vegetable they can grow here." Someone found it important enough to go back and edit out "His mother dries SWEET..."

My opinion on the pneumonia that is the new scary white lung syndrome It is simply another variation of toxic bile and its common toxic constituents leaking into the bloodstream and causing problems systemically (lungs definitely included). I'll hit on the major points Let us start with #toxicbiletheory Are bile markers higher in the blood in pneumonia? Yes "The present study indicates that elevation of serum bilirubin and of blood urea are both common accompaniments of pneumonia [...] In Port Moresby, pneumonia remains the commonest cause of jaundice among patients admitted to the medical wards" https://sci-hub.st/10.1111/j.1445-5994.1974.tb03202.x Remember, bilirubin is BILE-irubin, and high bilirubin is one of many potential markers of excess bile in the blood. Bile in the blood is BAD Babies born to mothers who have excess bile in their blood (intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy) can get pneumonia from the bile in their own blood: "Bile acids are detectable in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of newborns from intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy affected by respiratory distress syndrome. Elevated serum bile acid levels in these infants allow us to hypothesize that bile acid reaches the lung after an uptake from the circulation. These findings strongly support a role for bile acid in causing bile acid pneumonia." https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article-abstract/121/1/e146/71033/Bile-Acid-Induced-Lung-Injury-in-Newborn-Infants-A?redirectedFrom=fulltext More connecting bile and pneumonia: "TBAs [total bile acids] on admission were significantly higher in ICU patients compared to controls. TBAs were 3x higher in septic than cardiogenic shock patients and 6x higher than in surgical patients and controls as shown in Table 2. [...] Hyperbilirubinemia (serum bilirubin ≥ 2 mg within 48 h of admission) was observed more often in patients with septic shock (33%) compared to cardiogenic shock (21%) and patients after surgery (5%)." We connected bile acids in the blood to sepsis, now we connect sepsis to pneumonia: "Most common causes of sepsis were pneumonia (46%)..." https://annalsofintensivecare.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s13613-017-0272-7 They're so close, they just have their cause-and-effects in the wrong order. It's the BILE causing the sepsis AND pneumonia, because you AREN'T SUPPOSED TO HAVE TOXIC BILE IN YOUR BLOOD. Sepsis and pneumonia are SYMPTOMS caused by the toxic bile, see? It so happens that a side effect of the oral "medication" UDCA, a secondary bile acid (the most toxic kinds) that is directly related to the supplement TUDCA, is PNEUMONIA: ""Unanticipated" UDCA toxicity includes hepatitis, pruritus, cholangitis, ascites, vanishing bile duct syndrome, liver cell failure, death, severe watery diarrhea, pneumonia, dysuria, immune-suppression, mutagenic effects and withdrawal syndrome upon sudden halt." Toxic bile will contain toxic copper and toxic "vitamin" A, and both these toxins will deplete zinc. Can we find this copper & zinc pattern in the blood in pneumonia? "In middle-aged and older Finnish men, increased serum Cu/Zn-ratio and Cu concentrations are each linearly associated with an increased risk of incident pneumonia." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35781862/ Did you know that one of the COMMON side effects of giving people "active vitamin A" aka retinoic acid, as CHEMOTHERAPY, is pneumonia? Remember, the body dumps toxic "vitamin" A into the bile: "Formerly referred to as retinoic acid syndrome, differentiation syndrome is a common and potentially life-threatening complication seen in patients with APML treated with ATRA [all-trans retinoic acid aka "active vitamin A"] and/or ATO [arsenic trioxide, another poison] therapy. The clinical features of differentiation syndrome are also observed with other complications (i.e., sepsis, fluid overload, pulmonary hemorrhage, pneumonia, renal failure, and congestive heart failure)." https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/nursing-and-health-professions/retinoic-acid-syndrome Also make sure to read this amazing paper by Anthony Mawson, titled: Liver Damage and Exposure to Toxic Concentrations of Endogenous Retinoids in the Pathogenesis of COVID-19 Disease: Hypothesis "We propose that SARS-CoV-2 virus-induced liver damage causes retinoic acid and stored retinyl esters to be released into the circulation in toxic concentrations, unbound to protein, with resulting damage to organs including the lungs, heart, blood vessels, and skin. Several lines of evidence support this model of disease causation." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33983857/ The only question left in my mind is, what is triggering the massive toxic bile dump? I still absolutely think that EMF is a huge suspect in this mess, and you can see my video on it here with the references: https://youtube.com/live/Y2fNwCaW-Bs?feature=share So there you go

Circulating bile acids predict outcome in critically ill patients - Annals of Intensive Care Jaundice and cholestatic hepatic dysfunction are frequent findings in critically ill patients associated with increased mortality. Cholestasis in critically ill patients is closely associated with stimulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines resulting in impaired bile secretion and subsequent accumulation of bile acids. Aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical role of circulating bile acids in critically ill patients. Total and individual serum bile acids were assessed via high-performance liquid chromatography in 320 critically ill patients and 19 controls. Total serum bile acids were threefold higher in septic than cardiogenic shock patients and sixfold higher than in post-surgical patients or controls (p < 0.001). Elevated bile acid levels correlated with severity of illness, renal dysfunction and inflammation (p < 0.05). Total bile acids predicted 28-day mortality independently of sex, age, serum bilirubin and severity of illness (HR 1.041, 95% CI 1.013–1.071, p < 0.005). Best prediction of mortality of total bile acids was seen in patients suffering from septic shock. Individual and total BAs are elevated by various degrees in different shock conditions. BAs represent an early predictor of short-term survival in a mixed cohort of ICU patients and may serve as marker for early risk stratification in critically ill patients. Future studies should elucidate whether modulation of BA metabolism and signalling influences the clinical course and outcome in critically ill patients. annalsofintensivecare.springeropen.com

Fevers are not what you've been told Fevers are massive dumps of toxic bile leaking into the bloodstream and causing havoc in the system, see below See "bilious fever", a concept that has been around since the 18th century: "The term...was used by medical practitioners in the 18th and 19th centuries for any fever that exhibited the symptom of nausea or vomiting in addition to an increase in internal body temperature and strong diarrhea, which were thought to arise from disorders of bile, the two types of which were two of the four humours of traditional Galenic medicine." [nausea and vomiting are caused by bile getting into the stomach] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilious_fever What is known to happen when bile leaks into the bloodstream? "The clinical presentation of a patient with a postoperative biliary leak may include right upper quadrant pain, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, and fever."

NO VIRUSES NECESSARY, only toxic bile going in large amounts into places it ISN'T supposed to be!

Let me explain how Morley Robbins and his "protocol" are wrong on ceruloplasmin production supposedly requiring the toxin called "vitamin" A Morley and his minions constantly say that natural and “synthetic” forms of “vitamin” A are completely different in function. This is entirely unsupported in science and is a classic Appeal to Nature fallacy If science uses the same chemical processes to identify natural and synthetic forms of "vitamin" A, then they have the EXACT SAME STRUCTURE and would therefore express the EXACT SAME FUNCTION. This should seem obvious, or else one has a lot of proving to do to show they are different in function even while they are exactly the same in structure. Let's see them do that I thoroughly demonstrate that there is ZERO DIFFERENCE in the toxic effects of natural and synthetic “vitamin” A in this thread: His group will deny any study as garbage that doesn’t use “natural vitamin A", but when it serves their narrative, they'll quote the study and just ignore the hypocrisy First, you should know that ceruloplasmin, a COPPER-BINDING PROTEIN (it protects us from toxic free copper) is an ACUTE PHASE REACTANT, which means it goes UP in INFLAMMATORY STATES. I say that copper and "vitamin" A are both toxic. This will be a coincidence you don't want to forget What type of "vitamin" A is commonly used in the studies he quotes to show “vitamin” A is necessary for ceruloplasmin production? Hint: not "natural"! Let me go over some of the research in short: Giving rats *synthetic* ACCUTANE aka 13-cis retinoic acid raised ceruloplasmin https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3655940/ Second study, giving rats *synthetic* ACCUTANE aka 13-cis-retinoic acid raised ceruloplasmin https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9202972/ So giving *synthetic* ACCUTANE aka "active vitamin A" to rats increases the ACUTE PHASE REACTANT called CERULOPLASMIN that would typically go up in INFLAMMATORY STATES. Interesting, no? Before we go into the next part, you may want to read my thread here on how "vitamin" A deficiency (natural or synthetic) DOESN'T EXIST: Now, if their stance on "vitamin" A and ceruloplasmin is true, shouldn't "vitamin A deficiency" cause ceruloplasmin to GO DOWN? Is that what actually happens? Rat liver cells: "The intracellular concentrations of albumin and ceruloplasmin were not significantly altered by vitamin A deficiency." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6337857/ No changes in ceruloplasmin with "vit" A deficiency? "Concentrations of ceruloplasmin...are increased in the serum of vitamin-A-deficient rats compared to normal rats." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6859810/ Wait, "vit" A deficiency caused ceruloplasmin to go UP? (if you see my thread above and my comment below, I don't think the rat diets were actually low in "vit" A at all) "The ceruloplasmin level of control animals and vitamin A-deficient rats was determined. An average increase between 22 and 33% was observed in the animals with vitamin A deficiency, the highest levels being observed in the females. These results are in agreement with Peterson's previous work." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/533078/ Another study saying "vit" A deficiency caused ceruloplasmin to go up? (these studies are not hard to find) Finally, a study on chickens fed a "vitamin A deficient" diet for 20 days showed they had the HIGHEST CERULOPLASMIN at the end of the 20-day study! https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3034814/ (see picture from full study below) So, based on this small group of studies, it would seem the "science" isn't very straightforward on this, and any studies showing "vit" A raised ceruloplasmin very specifically used SYNTHETIC RETINOIC ACID aka ACCUTANE...so Mr. Robbins by his own standards SHOULD NOT be able to use any of it to justify his position So why such disparate results? First, they gave the rats and liver cells RETINOIC ACID, and the ACUTE PHASE REACTANT called CERULOPLASMIN which goes UP in INFLAMMATION reacted accordingly to the toxic input. This makes sense to me Next, when one understands that animal studies commonly use casein protein that very likely still have "vit" A in the casein as oxidized retinoic acid (which is not found when they analyze for retinol, so they say there is "no vitamin A" but they are quite wrong, the heating and alcohol they used to supposedly "remove" the vA just changed its form so they couldn't see it any longer), then nearly all the studies above make sense in my framework I put people on low "vitamin" A diets for YEARS, and they are not developing so-called "copper deficiency" or ceruloplasmin deficiency...shouldn't this problem have shown up by now if I'm wrong? I would love to see the pseudo-intellectual tap-dancing done to try to make all of these studies align to somehow say that "vitamin" A is necessary to make ceruloplasmin, because if one takes them at face value, they most certainly DON'T The chicken study and my client results also don't agree with their assertions Remember, any study that uses synthetic forms of "vitamin" A must be disregarded by their own statements...and the "vitamin A deficient" diets raised ceruloplasmin in both rats and chickens 😂 Do I think he is wrong? Yeah, that's an understatement
