What's interesting is the test that he uses to determine if there has been exposure to toxins. See below:
Dan "How the VCS Test Works "The visual system includes a complex neurological network that involves the retina, optic nerve, brain nuclei and the visual cortex. One of the main outputs of the visual system is pattern vision. The VCS tests is an indicator of ability to detect visual patterns. The test measures the least amount of contrast between light and dark bars (sinusoidal grating) that is needed for the viewer to detect the bars. VCS is measured at five different bar sizes (spatial frequencies) because perception of different bar sizes is mediated by different physiological components, and these components are differentially susceptible to effects from different toxic substances (10-17). The largest effects of biotoxins are at the mid-size bars (1-8). To measure VCS, viewers are presented a series of bar patterns at each of the five bar sizes. Viewers respond by indicating that the bars are tilted to the left, tilted to the right, are straight up and down, or that they cannot see any bars. The pattern with the lowest contrast that is correctly identified is the measure of VCS for that bar size. Upon completing the VCS test, viewers receive a message indicating that biotoxins are (positive) or are not (negative) likely to be involved in their illness. The criteria for getting a "positive" VCS result is set high to avoid false positive results. This occasionally results in a false negative result; some cases of chronic-biotoxin induced illness may pass the VCS test a some times. VCS can be measured during treatment to monitor recovery." -----Original Message----- From: Clayton Family [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2007 11:22 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: CS>Iodine Ruth, I had all the symptoms of underactive thyroid for years, but it was really a reaction to toxins- that is one of the ways the body reacts to toxins. My particular one was mold. Some people have the same problem from Post Lyme Disease syndrome, and many other toxins there are around. check out Dr Shoemaker's site for some reading on the subject if you feel like it- the sidebar on the left has links to different causes for the symptoms. maybe you will recognize your symptoms there. www.chronicneurotoxins.com On Aug 28, 2007, at 8:19 PM, ruth strackbein wrote: > Thanks, Ransley.
