Cindy & Erica’s Obsession to Solve Today’s Health Care Crisis: Autism, Alzheimer’s Disease, Cardiovascular Disease, ALS and More

Interesting format to weave in science!
I have learned an incredible amount from Dr. Seneff’s work years ago. I wish I had known about this book of hers much sooner! The parts of the story that included her blog posts and biochemical explanations of what she was learning from her real-life research are absolutely worth their weight in non aluminum, cholesterol sulfate and sunlight vitamin d derived gold!It’s a must have for anyone interested in health and mineral balancing!

I recommend Stephanie Seneff’s novel
I learned of Stephanie Seneff through glyphosate, an 18-atom compound. I’ve disliked pesticides since 2005 or so, but I didn’t research them in depth until 2016, when I researched them for a nonfiction book. I learned glyphosate was Earth’s most-used pesticide and that its use was increasing. I found six papers on glyphosate by Stephanie Seneff, a research scientist at MIT, and Anthony Samsel, a former government employee and glyphosate user, published since 2013. The papers explained how glyphosate, which Monsanto and the government and maybe 85% of the media promotes as nontoxic or nearly nontoxic, contributed to or caused most modern diseases. After reading those six papers, I emailed Seneff to factcheck something on glyphosate in my book. I said I had an idea to write a poetry book on glyphosate, and I learned she’d written a novel in which two mothers explore the underlying causes of the autism epidemic and realize, in the end, that glyphosate is a major factor. I ordered it and read it and underlined many lines, including:-“But the key unsolvable problem is how to change the mind-set of the government, the media, the medical professionals, and the general public; to get them to accept the idea that we have been grossly misled by the agrochemical and pharmaceutical industries into believing that black is white.”-“It wasn’t until September, 2012, when I had the pleasure to hear Prof. Don Huber lecture on the toxic effects of glyphosate, that I realized the importance of glyphosate as a major player in the disease process.”-“The other 29 countries all had better mortality rates than the U.S., with the best performer, Iceland, having the fewest required vaccines.”-“In 1983 the required injections from birth to 6 years old was 10 shots with 30 antigens. Now in 2011 from 0-6 years old is 34 shots with 115 antigens.”-“The apparent genetic link might simply be a consequence of the fact that two embryos were sharing a limited resource from the mother!”-“One novel characteristic of the autistic brain is that it actually is larger than the non-autistic brain at the age of two or three. This is a time when ordinarily the brain goes through a massive pruning process, to weed out neurons that have failed to build up sufficient synaptic connections to be worthy of survival.”-“She came across a large database made available to the public by the Food and Drug Administration, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), where thousands of adverse reactions dating back to 1990 were readily accessible.”-Erica: “It’s hard to be a doctor if you don’t believe in the prescribed program. Take those statin drugs, for instance. I’d never prescribe a statin to a child. They’re class X on pregnancy, like Thalidomide, the drug that led to all those missing arms and legs in the 1960s.”-“Just as vaccines cause food allergies because of small amounts of peanut oil in the vaccine, they would logically cause an allergic reaction to this hormone, which could easily lead to infertility.”-“The U.S. leads the world with 24 required vaccinations before the end of the baby’s first year: 3 DTaP, 3 polio, 3 Hib Titer, 3 hepatitis B, 3 pneumonia, 3 rotavirus and 2 influenza.”-“What amazes me most is the naivety of both the general public and the medical practitioners, and their unfounded faith in the idea that vaccines are safe and effective, given the obviously huge conflict-of-interest problems in the vaccine approval process.”-“It’s not as though it’s not known that aluminum is toxic to health. No known biological system makes use of aluminum for any purpose.”-“Newborns in the U.S. and other developed countries receive 14.7 to 49 times more than the FDA safety limits for aluminum, just through their mandatory vaccines.”-“The reason that small amounts of food in vaccines cause an intense allergic reaction is that the body develops a memory of the good in association with the toxin that’s also in the vaccine. The body is fooled into believing that the egg that the flu vaccine pathogen is grown in is somehow part of a strange new species, and it develops a response to the egg as well as, or perhaps even instead of, to the flu virus.”-“Required U.S. vaccines in 1980 were 10 per child; in 2000 it was 32 per child.”-“18 required vaccines contain aluminum.”-“It was becoming very clear to her that the situation with statin drugs paralleled in many respects that with vaccinations. Both shared the feature that they made truckloads of money for the companies that manufactured them.”-British Medical Journal editorial: “Legislation will not change the situation, for the smart money is always one step ahead. What is needed is a change of culture….”-“But, still they wanted to figure it all out, and this kept them energized.”-“…she didn’t know how to get back to the innocence she had enjoyed before she embarked on this journey deep into biological processes and environmental toxins.”-Cindy: “It’s a bit discouraging, but I’m very determined to try to figure out as much as I can about how biology works. It’s all so very fascinating. Much better than any movie or novel I can think of.”-Erica re paper allegedly disconnecting MMR & autism: “I have read very carefully and multiple times the article with a kazillion authors that is most often cited as proof. It’s full of holes, in my opinion.”-“Cindy realized that somewhere along the way she had reached a point of view that now embraced the notion that nothing that happens in biology is without a positive purpose. Seizures allowed the brain to make use of its precious taurine, squirreled away for a rainy day that had now arrived, in the case of Jacoby.”-Cindy: “If you believe in the American medical system, which fortunately I do not, and you’re responsible, then of course you’re going to use sunscreen.”-“[Jim West] suggested that it’s the DDT that actually caused the symptoms of polio, and the virus was just brought into play as a rescue attempt in a crisis. I remember the book Silent Spring by Rachel Carson showing how DDT was killing off all the birds and fish.”-Cindy: “It was obvious to me that the problems were nutritional, and I hated how they were always finding some drug that interfered with some critical enzyme. Often, this made some numbers look better and let you feel you were actually helping improve your situation, when actually chances were you were making things worse.”-From afterword: “Most of this novel was written over the course of a year and a half, from June, 2011 to December, 2012.”-From afterword: “I am writing now in April, 2016. I now acknowledge that the chemical industry both owns the world and is destroying it, day-by-day. I have devoted every ounce of my being towards fighting the chemical industry, in the perhaps vain hope that one day we will win the world back.”After reading the novel, I made four lists: One of books/papers it mentioned that I wanted to read, one titled “Statin info to tell dad,” one titled “Health info to share with parents,” and one of words/terms it said that I wanted to learn, remember, or research. I also recommend Stephanie Seneff’s scientific papers and other writing (which are linked on her website) and her talks/interviews on YouTube. Thank you for reading my review.

This book is cutting edge information that everyone needs on their shelf.
I have known Dr. Seneff for about three years. In this book she shares information from her research to help families of children with autism, like myself and my family. She has a wonderful way of intertwining information on medical issues and the story line which makes Dr. Seneff’s book is an amazing read. For example, the book gives a look into, vaccine injury, the side effects of medications, compares the benefits of natural ways to maintain good health, and addresses environmental toxins. It is a wealth of information and I would recommend it to anyone.Mary Ann Puckett
