Brain washing

When patients are becoming psychotic, for whatever reason, sleep is also likely to suffer, adding the risk of normal dream delirium to that of a schizophrenic or affective psychotic process, because individuals can be driven into states of delirium by extreme sleep deprivation. Think of brain-washing, trance states, and the confessions of treason extracted by political, psychological, and cultural rituals. All involve sleep deprivation. In the end, sleep-deprived individuals will do or say anything in exchange for sleep. 

Plentifiil amounts of toxins are also found in our laundry detergents, fabric softeners (don t be fooled by their lovely names and pretty scents—these chemicals are some of the worst health offenders), room deodorizers, perfumes, colognes, air fresheners, cosmetics, and personal hygiene products. For eyeopening information on the effects of these toxins, the many hidden places they lurk, and how to eliminate them from your body, read my books The Brain Wash and The 4- Week Ultimate Body Detox Plan. Regardless of how you come into contact with them, the majority of these toxins acidify your body. 

The European Journal of Nutrition links aging and age-related disorders to acid-alkaline imbalances.1 In my book The Brain Wash, I discuss the dangers of exposure to heavy metals and pesticides, as well as the damage caused by alcohol consumption. These substances contribute to excess acidity in the body as our systems try to metabolize, neutralize, or eliminate them. Once they are in our bodies, it can be difficult to get rid of them. They promote inflammation and increase the formation of free radicals (charged molecules that attack healthy tissues). Both inflammation and free radicals are associated with brain diseases such as Alzheimer s. 

In addition to yeasts and fungi, synthetic environmental and food toxins are linked with increased fat stores. Synthetic chemicals, such as industrial toxins and food preservatives, tend to be attracted to fat molecules as they move through the circulatory system, where they can cause tissue and organ damage, including damage to the brain. To prevent toxins from circulating, the body binds them to fat and holds on to its fat stores. For more information, consult my books The Brain Wash and The 4- Week Ultimate Body Detox Plan.

Provitamin D. Provitamin is made from cholesterol, and its commercial production begias with the isolation of cholesterol from one of its natural sources. Cholesterol occurs ia many animals, and is generally extracted from wool grease obtained by washing wool after it is sheared from sheep. This grease is a mixture of fatty-acid esters, which contain ca 15 wt % cholesterol. The alcohol fraction is obtained after saponification, and the cholesterol is separated, usually by complexation with 2iac chloride, followed by decomplexation and crystallisation. Cholesterol can also be extracted from the spiaal cords and brains of animals, especially catde, and from fish oils. 

Besides the poor specificity of many of the assays used to determine plasma drug concentrations, another problem which has arisen from these studies has been the length of the "wash-out" period necessary before the patient is given the neuroleptic under investigation. As a result of the prolonged duration of blockade of dopamine receptors in the brain by conventional neuroleptics and their metabolites, it is necessary to allow a wash-out period of several weeks before the patients are subject to a pharmacokinetic study. This raises serious ethical questions. Perhaps with the advent of new imaging techniques it may be possible in the near future actually to determine the rate of disappearance of neuroleptics from the brain of the patient. This may enable the relationship between plasma concentration and clinical response to be accurately determined. 

Current efforts favor tumor cell line tests, conducted by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) drug development program [62]. In the current NCI anticancer screen, each compound is tested against 60 human tumor cell lines derived from several cancer types (lung, colon, melanoma, kidney, breast, ovary, brain, leukemia). The tumor cells are seeded on 96-well microtiter plates and pre-incubated for 24 h. The test agents are then added to the wells (five 10-fold dilutions 0.01 -100 pmol/1) and are incubated for 48 h with the tumor cell lines. At the termination of the assay, the cells are fixed in situ with trichloroacetic acid (TCA), washed and dried. Sulforhodamine B (SRB), a dye that binds to the basic amino... 

Culea et al. reported a quantitative GC-MS analysis of procaine and some neurotransmitters in rat brain tissue [94], Procaine was extracted fi om brain homogenates by the ultrasonication method of Sundlof et al. [95], and was determined in its underivatized form on a 24 m glass capillary column coated with Silar IOC (temperature programmed from 120°C to 225°C at 12°C/min with pyrene as the internal standard). It was found necessary to wash the injector liner and the GC-MS interface stainless steel tubing with 1 1 0.1 M KOH-methanol so that the interface tubing could be coated with a film of OV-17 (from acetone solution), and to condition the apparatus by injecting bis-(trimethylsilyl)-acetamide and triethylamine. 

Fig. 5. Compatibility of Binding Proteins on Commercial Available Solid Materials. Each affinity resins bearing benzensulfonamide (10 ml) was mixed with 1 ml of rat brain lysate (total protein 8 mg/mL, in 0.25 M sucrose, 0.3 mM DDC, 25 mM Tris-HCI 7.6), respectively. Specific binding protein, CA2 in this case, was identified by the SAC method described in Subheading 3.2 instead of conventional competition method because of low solubilify of fhe compound. After washed with 1 ml of lysate buffer (0.25 M sucrose, 0.3 mM DDC, 25 mM Tris-FICI pFI 7.6), fhe binding proteins were eluted SDS sample buffer (Nacalai s SDS sample buffer (x3), 30566-22), and then analyzed.

Application of liquid arsenious chloride to the skin also causes acute poisoning. The immediate result is necrosis this may be considerably retarded by washing within one minute of the application, but after five minutes washing has no effect.1 The arsenic is rapidly absorbed by the tissues, and after a few hours, if death ensues, the element can be recovered from most of the tissues and organs of the body, especially the brain, liver and kidneys. 

Antigen unmasking on sections of paraffin-embedded tissues can be accomplished by reduction of disulfide bonds by treatment with 2-mercaptoethanol, followed by alkylation with sodium iodoacetate to prevent the bonds from reforming. This method has been used for unmasking a Kunitz protease inhibitory domain epitope of Alzheimer s amyloid precursor protein in human brain (Campbell et al., 1999). Sections are reduced with a mixture of 0.14 M 2-mercaptoethanol in 0.5 M Tris-HCl (pH 8.0) and 1 mM EDTA for 3 hr in the dark at room temperature. After being washed for 3 min in distilled water, the sections are treated with a mixture of 250 mg/ml iodoacetic acid in 0.1 M NaOH, diluted 1 10 in 0.5 M Tris-HCl (pH 8.0) and 1 mM EDTA for 20 min in the dark. 

A slice 5 mm thick is cut from fixed brain tissue and washed for several hours in distilled water to remove excess formaldehyde. The slice is immersed overnight in Tris-buffered saline (TBS, pH 9.0) and then placed in a plastic jar containing 200 ml of TBS. The jar is placed in a microwave oven for 10-15 min at full power (700 W), divided into two cycles of 5 or 7.5 min to check the fluid level. The temperature is controlled using the temperature probe of the oven. It takes 3 min to reach a temperature of 90°C.
