Don,
All my drinking and
cooking water is triple filtered and tested; I have as good a drinking
water as can be had in this part of the U.S.
The normal mycoplasma
organisms were modified by the U.S. government in the late 1940s and
early 1950s, for one or more fairly lethal strains, for biological
warfare (we were way behind the Russians back then, and desperate to
catch up). Then they foolishly reasoned that, since they needed actual
aerosol dispersion data so they could have an experimentally fitted
targeting model to design strikes etc. in warfare when needed, they
would have to test it on the populace. So they made a secret agreement
with the Canadian government. They apparently reasoned (quite
erroneously) that they could just "thin" the mycoplasma agents, diluted
way, way down, and the "thinned aerosol" would be harmless -- might
give you a little cold, they reasoned. You know, kind of like being a
little bit pregnant or a little bit dead.
So they sprayed some
20 civilian cities and towns in Canada, and an equal number in the U.S.
(this all came out in Senate hearings). They sprayed, e.g., in mid to
latter 1950s.
I was in the U.S. Army
and stationed in Canada from 1966-68, and was in several of the cities
that had been sprayed. So I caught the mess. It resulted in 3 very
fierce hospitalizations, six weeks each, at the end, too weak to even
sit up at a desk, etc. No one knew what it was, but the Canadian VA
hospital there in Quebec knew that 1 in 300 of their abdominal patients
had "it", it was almost 100% lethal, and almost all stricken with it
would die unless the doctors performed a procedure they found by trial
and error and in desperation. The procedure was to open up the chest
cavity and the abdominal cavity, and move all the internal organs etc.
around for about 2 hours so the air could get to everything and to all
the tissues and organs. Then they sewed you up again, and listed it
officially as "exploratory surgery". But they had found that, if they
did this, 50% would live and half would still die. So in my third
hospitalization, with every test known at the time showing totally
normal but the patient was dying, they did the procedure at the hospital
in Quebec. I was lucky and made the 50% that lived after the
procedure. But it left me with a permanent loss of physical endurance,
ended my martial arts career (third Dan in aikido), etc.
What happens with that
strain is that they bury up INSIDE the red corpuscles (and some other
cells) and thereby dramatically reduce the amount of oxygen the
hemoglobin can absorb. So regardless of one's "physical condition"
(mine was "great"), one's aerobic system is cut in half. Any surge
physical activity forces one to draw out the anaerobic system quickly,
and one is then totally exhausted until one has slept a night and
restored the anaerobic system. In short, permanent loss of endurance,
and no training or physical activity could get it back.
I was able to finish
my Army career because of my rank, and higher staff positions after
that.
The stuff also stays
dormant like that, for from 20 to 30 years or so, with some slow
penetration in other tissues such as the brain, organs, lungs, etc. In
my case, it stayed pretty dormant for 32 years. Then with the immune
system reduced a bit because of aging etc., the stuff resurges and
starts a final phase (which for me was in 2001). The "tolerable"
hypoxia increases to severe and intolerable hypoxia, inducing heart
fibrillation, then heart seizure (heart attack), perhaps strokes, brain
seizures, etc. I was lucky and had only the heart attack, due to
violent fibrillation.
All this about the
modified mycoplasma and the spraying has come out in a combination of
Senate hearings and some of the latest Gulf War syndrome research, after
Congress beat up the VA and the NIH and ordered them off their
collective duffs to go find out what was wrong with the GWS veterans and
some of their families. A definitive study with some 500 Gulf War
veterans is ongoing now.
Anyway, with some real
searching and haranguing (to my congressman, the VA, you name it), I
finally got the mycoplasma test, and it confirmed the chronic mycoplasma
infection. With 347 being a strong positive, I tested 587. So my
immune system was locked in a huge battle with the stuff. Suddenly all
symptoms over the last 33 years made very good sense.
I'm on the officially
recommended treatment now (special antibiotics for a year or longer).
Essentially one must wait until one's red corpuscles die in normal usage
and get replaced. When a cell dies, the mycoplasma organisms come out
and, unless stopped when they emerge, they promptly reinfect the new red
blood cell. But the sustained presence of proper antibiotics in the
bloodstream kills the critters when they emerge and are exposed. Hence
one GRADUALLY replaces and purifies one's red blood cells, over a period
of time. An alternative "initial" treatment is a massive transfusion to
replace all the blood; with the present hypoxia, I probably could not
survive that treatment. I've already been on this continual antibiotics
treatment for a little more than a month, and am slowly beginning to
improve.
But the hypoxia during
this early period remains, because most of the red blood cells are still
penetrated and oxygen-take-up deficient. So the continuing hypoxia
keeps triggering the heart fibrillations which build up and begin to be
serious after 24 hours and become very strong and life-threatening by 48
hours. So one takes a "clamper" pill which controls the fibrillation,
but also reduces the amplitude of pumping by the heart, reducing the
blood flow rate and hence the rate of furnishing the oxygen to the other
cells of the body. It's a "Catch 22" situation, and the doctors -- all
well-meaning and trying hard -- will almost inadvertently just let you
die (I have standing orders to go instantly to hospital heart center
emergency if the fibrillations do not subside about an hour after I take
the pill). The heart people do not treat mycoplasia, nor do they even
test for it! Nor are they allowed to do so. My family doctor will
treat it, and is trying hard. He's the best thing I have going at the
present time. But there is one thing he needs to do, which Alabama law
interferes with and almost prevents him doing it.
Presently I'm trying
to get some portable medical oxygen breathing equipment for
supplementary oxygen breathing a little each day, to up that oxygen
delivery in the body and stay up out of the hypoxia. Cheez! Alabama
has one of the worst state political systems in this nation. You cannot
buy the medical oxygen equipment yourself, even though we have several
medical supply outfits right here in town with it, but it needs a
doctor's prescription. Fine, however, the family doctor is not allowed
to prescribe it until a certain inane blood sample test has been done by
a specialist, -- which I took and which will have nothing at all to say
about the type hypoxia I have! It will say something about the hypoxia
due to clogging of the arteries, but I have no clogging of the
arteries. The test otherwise will simply tell if the number of
corpuscles are normal, etc. and mine are. In short, I fall through the
legal cracks in the floor set up by the State of Alabama.
So I'm now waiting to
see if I can get the oxygen via normal medical channels. If not, I have
arranged to get it through the "underground" legally (one can get it
legally in several other states, etc., without all the political
shenanigans, by just driving over to the proper state and getting the
proper prescription in that state). At any rate, we will get it, one
way or another, and we will slowly overcome this condition.
But the entire affair
has been a real exercise in how ill-prepared this nation has been and is
for a biological warfare strike -- even to RECOGNIZE one of them.
I realize how
desperate those fellows were back there in the 1950s, because the
Soviets were really considering attacking the United States, on several
occasions, with both nuclear weapons and massive strikes of biological
warfare weapons. They had a specific plan, e.g., after any strategic
nuclear strike on us, to immediately finish off the entire remaining
U.S. population with biological warfare strikes (you can confirm that
yourself on the web; it's been released). So our guys really were
desperate to the extreme. And in their desperation, they made some
foolish mistakes -- even "damn-fool" mistakes such as spraying North
America with weakened mycoplasia bioagent.
As a professional
soldier and an old artilleryman, I accept the fact that once in awhile
there will be a "short round" from one's own friendly support artillery,
that falls on top of one's own position and short of the enemy position
forward of him. So in effect I caught a special kind of "short round"
through a combination of ignorance, desperation, and urgency -- all of
which any modern war -- cold or hot -- is in spades. I accept that as
one of the hazards of being a professional soldier for most of my adult
life.
However, one keeps
one's sense of humor also. I've been able to tell several veterans of
my personal experience, and they have gotten the mycoplasma test and
turned up positive, and are now on the proper treatment. Theirs will be
much more effective and quicker than mine, since they have not had the
mess for 33 years. A high percentage of civilians with chronic fatigue
syndrome, e.g., really have the mycoplasia, and that is being borne out
by present testing. My personal "guestimate" is that probably half the
U.S. and Canadian population has been exposed to biowar-grade mycoplasia.
Most are lucky, but some get it and then -- if diagnosed at all -- are
diagnosed as having psychosomatic (self-induced) illness or something
like chronic fatigue syndrome.
You have to be careful
in what mycoplasma information you canvas on the web and elsewhere. The
mycoplasia one used to get (and still also gets) from the "natural
old-time mycoplasma critters" in the environment is quite a different
thing from the mycoplasia one gets from this modified biowar strain.
And sadly, our own fellows in their desperation and great haste,
introduced it directly into the North American Populace.
But maybe some good
will come out of it after all. I'm slowly making a little progress
personally. My prognosis is now good, for a recovery (degree is
uncertain, but a recovery nonetheless), and we will defeat the hypoxia
come hell or high water. I already take the necessary food supplements,
follow a healthy diet, have no clogging of the arteries etc., and am
sound as a dollar otherwise except for the arthritis (which also was a
result of the mycoplasma infection, it turns out) and the normal broken
bones and injuries one acquires over an active life.
Anyway, I very much
appreciate your concern, but the above is my exact condition and
problem; it isn't the notoriously bad Alabama water. We are on the way
to whipping it, albeit slowly. And, being religious (even though I do
not wear my religion on my sleeve and I do not inflict it on others who
have their own belief), I also believe in prayer and in the Creator.
And here I am very fortunate: quite a number of very wonderful folks are
praying for me -- Christians, Moslems, Jewish, you name it. It makes an
old dog really tighten up in the chest and get a speck in his eye to
scratch it, or something. People have been so concerned and caring that
it completely overwhelms me. It just makes me more determined than ever
to continue, and to do everything within my power to try to get out the
beginnings of a new kind of medical therapy and cheap clean power
systems freely extracting the electrical power from the energetic
vacuum.
The best I can do is
get down just about everything I've found out or think I've found out,
in my forthcoming book. That and the website -- and the MEG and the
medical project -- are what all my time is focused upon.
And like ol' Hank
Williams used to say (I was a professional country guitarist and singer
before entering the Army), if the Good Lord is willing and the creeks
don't rise, it will get done -- whether I live to see it in my own
lifetime or not. If we can pass on what we know or think we know to the
sharp young grad students and post-docs and independent researchers,
they will get it done.
Best wishes and hang
in there!
Cheers,
Tom Bearden
